Chapter 547 - 427: Midnight Moments
"Companies all have their rules," Xie Yizun frowned.
Over the years, he had grown used to listening obediently at work.
After a while, he stared blankly at Ning Youguang, "Do you think I still look good on camera even if I’m chubby?"
Ning Youguang nodded, "Of course, you’re so good-looking. Every part of you, from head to toe, is meant for the camera. You’ll look good no matter how you’re photographed."
Her tone was filled with affirmation.
Xie Yizun smiled happily, revealing a set of neat and white teeth.
But soon, he held back his smile, "But they say my eyes aren’t big enough, the tip of my nose isn’t refined, the corners of my eyes have pointed inner canthi. They even asked if I want some work done, saying fans would like me more that way."
"Who said that?" Ning Youguang was quite curious about this.
"Some trainees from my company and a roommate mentioned it," Xie Yizun answered obediently.
"Oh, how did you reply to them?" Ning Youguang asked again.
"I said I think my eyes look pretty good, my nose is straight enough, I don’t need surgery," Xie Yizun slightly raised his chin, with a hint of pride on his face that was not unpleasant.
Because his pride was rooted in his self-confidence, a kind that shines.
Ning Youguang smiled, "Yes, your eyes and nose are very attractive, absolutely no need for surgery. Some people wish they could look as good as you."
Being complimented so directly by his sister, Xie Yizun couldn’t help but smile, yet he still hesitantly asked, "Do you really think I’m good, sis? But my face is for the fans to see, what if they are right?"
"You have to believe in yourself. You truly are great. Don’t start thinking you’re not just because others say so. Some unkind people love to make you doubt yourself. Once you start doubting and buy into their views, doing something to your face, their goal is achieved, and you’ll forever lose something you originally had, understand?" Ning Youguang gazed tenderly and firmly into Xie Yizun’s eyes, "So always believe in yourself. You’re great, maintain that. Focus your heart on those who love you. People who love you will never find anything wrong with you."
"You mean they’re not genuinely looking out for me when they say that?" Xie Yizun’s expression changed instantly.
"Yes," Ning Youguang nodded affirmatively.
"They’re all my friends, though. Why would friends act like that?" Xie Yizun, who hadn’t yet faced the hardships of society, felt the complexity and darkness of human nature for the first time.
"You consider them friends," Ning Youguang’s voice had something transparent flowing through it, like water.
Xie Yizun felt his heart had been cleansed anew; it was heavy, cool, and a bit painful.
A flicker of hurt passed through his eyes.
Ning Youguang knew her brother was uncomfortable, but she had to break his erroneous belief in false friendships.
He was still too young and naive, not quite understanding how to discern which feelings were genuine and which were fake, too easily fooled by the appearances people showed him.
As his sister, upon seeing him about to step out of the ivory tower, loving him meant teaching him how to protect himself—
He could be kind, but kindness should be directed towards the right people.
He needed the ability to distinguish good from evil.
And this ability grows the faster the more one experiences in life. 1314
