Zhou Shuozhen sat in the dean's office for the third time. This time, he didn't even know what crime he had committed.
The dean asked him: "Do you admit that you took it?"
Zhou said he was really thinking: "What to take?"
Zhou Shuozhen said: "It's me."
As soon as those three words came out, he wanted to twist his tongue out.
This isn't the first time he's done this.
The first time, the globe broke and he said it was him.
The second time, the homework book was lost and he said it was him.
The third time, Ban Fei disappeared, and he learned to be silent - finally becoming like a "normal" child.
However, after silence, he found that he was lost.
Lost in those unspoken truths, lost in those lies against one's will, lost in a sugar that is so sweet that it turns bitter.
Until he met Granny Ye, an old lady who talked to the air every day and was called "madman" by the whole building.
Granny Ye told him:
"Weird people always find each other."
"Honesty is not telling the whole truth, it is not lying to yourself."
So Zhou Shuozhen began to write those unspoken words into a secret box.
He thought he was hiding something.
It was later discovered that he was looking for something.
Find yourself who was laughed at for being "too honest".
Find yourself who was rejected for "thinking too much".
Find yourself who is isolated because you are "too weird" - but who is still worthy of love.
Intention: Honesty does not mean telling all the truth, it means not lying to yourself
