Jinsu always showed off to her class that her sister had "red lips, white teeth, and beautiful eyebrows. It would be an exaggeration to say that the legendary Xi Shi is my sister!" Of course, others always thought she was exaggerating and never believed her.
But in fact, Jinsu really has such a sister. Her name is Jinlian, the violet-colored Jinlian, the willow-waisted lotus-faced lotus, and this name is really not just a joke. With a willow-like waist and a lotus-like face, she looks like a graceful beauty.
But such beauty has also brought trouble to Jinlian. The jealousy of junior high school girls has created many rumors about her. This has made fewer people willing to make friends with her who just transferred to another school. Jinlian feels that she will not care. She eats alone and goes to work alone. She asked questions in the room. It was not until one day during a heavy rain that she was robbed of her umbrella and hid with a stray cat at the door of a small shop. Someone handed her an umbrella and said, "Stop crying, don't care about others, just be yourself." She realized that she had already burst into tears, and she actually cared in her heart.
The day when Jinlian transferred back to her original school, the young boy in front of her blushed and handed over a kitten pendant: "This is a farewell gift. I have two. Just accept it and don't forget me." The wind was so strong that day that she didn't hear the last words of the boy in front of her clearly.
An illness later made her unable to remember what she looked like as a young boy, but when she was in college, she stared at the pendant on her friend's bag in the library and was stunned.
"Sister, let me tell you what we learned today, "Ai Lian Shuo". I will memorize it when school starts!"
"Really? Come back and listen."
"... I only love the lotus that comes out of the mud but is not stained, and washes the clear ripples without being evil..."
And Jinlian is Qinglian in Zhou Zhang's eyes
＊There is a prototype of Sumire's sweet essay about reading "jǐn" (but she is not the author)
Intention: Don't care about other people's opinions, be yourself
