In Episode 44 of \"The Hunting Ground,\" while Jia Yimei was parking the car to ask for directions, she saw the figures of the Roy people in the distance. Jia Yimei walked over to find out what was going on, while at that time Roy was sitting on a chair, looking at his phone. Jia Yimei walked over, adjusted her emotions to keep a smile on her face, and got ready to start a conversation. Jia Yimei said with a smile, \"Hello.\" Roy Ren replied, \"Hello, what a coincidence.\" (The Roy people immediately stood up to show their respect for Jia Yimei.) Jia Yimei: I took the wrong road; when I turned around there, I saw you. I thought I must have seen wrongly Seeing the luggage next to Roy, Jia Yimei said again, \"Did you just get off the plane?\" The Roy people whispered, \"Yes.\" Mr. Chen has passed away. Sister Kui said it’s quiet; I’ve come to keep her company. Jia Yimei: Oh. Kui-jie is lucky to have a best friend like you. Roy pointed to the chair next to him and said, \"Sit for a while.\" Jia Yimei paused for a moment before saying, \"Sister Yiren, maybe I’m overthinking it. Please don’t take it to heart.\" Luo Yiren replied, \"How could that be? Go on, tell me.\" Jia Yimei said, \"Just now I saw Sister Kui go inside to answer a phone call. I guess it must have been you who called.\" She must have told you who the guests at home are; they are all your old acquaintances, so there’s no need to avoid them deliberately. It must be me that you want to avoid. Roy smiled and said: It’s not entirely true either. Actually, I want to avoid both the embarrassment inside and the embarrassment on the outside. This also includes the feelings of those around you; of course, your own feelings are what matter most. Jia Yimei also smiled and said, \"Will you take me seriously?\" The Roy person said seriously, \"Why shouldn’t I take you seriously?\" Saying and thinking this way has a negative impact on the suggestions you give to yourself. Jia Yimei said self-mockingly, \"I know that feeling inferior is pitiful; no one wants to feel that way.\" It just has to be done. Jia Yimei continued, \"Sister Yi Ren, you have had a rich life experience – you were the owner of a large company and also went through difficult times with no one to rely on.\" There are certain women who, no matter what, will have a perfect future. Because there will be many distinguished people who are willing to recommend them for admission ； There’s another option, but it’s not so fortunate. Every bit of value in the future has to be earned through hard work and sweat; that’s the reality for us working-class people (with a tone of resentment). The Roy people interrupted, saying, \"Xiao Jia, what do you want to say?\" Did I do something wrong? Jia Yimei: I don’t know either. I remember you came once when Xiong Qingchun and Zheng Qiujiang were getting along well. I don’t know what happened later, but she left. After things got good between us, I forced myself not to think about it, because just thinking about it scared me. The last time I saw you, for some reason, I immediately thought of the Mayans and their predictions of the end of the world (at this point, Jia Yimei became emotional). The Roy people interrupted, saying, \"Xiao Jia, stop talking. I understand what you mean.\" I have been demonized before, but I am not a demon. Some people say I’m terrifying; that’s because they lack both the courage to face their own misfortunes and the ability to reflect on them ； They shamelessly claim that it was others who brought them misfortune; they show off their wounds, pretending to be innocent in order to arouse sympathy, yet they shift public opinion and blame onto me. The Roy person paused for a moment before saying, “I have the habit of enduring things without protest; I believe that the innocent will be cleared of any accusations, and I don’t like to argue about such matters.” But I can’t say it now. Always acting as someone else’s trash can – I find myself disgusting. I have to tell the truth. Your problems are your own; you shouldn’t shift the blame onto others. In broad daylight, if there are indeed demons, then they are those who turn good people into demons. Xiong Qingchun’s betrayal of Zheng Qiujiang is a complete betrayal; what does it have to do with me, Luo Roy? (Said with firmness) Jia Yimei was defeated; she stood up, ready to turn and leave. The Roy people called out to Jia Yimei: Little Jia. Jia Yimei said through tears, \"I came to Hangzhou as a poor girl with only 300 yuan; everything I have today was achieved with great difficulty. Zheng Qiudong is my whole world.\" We hope you won’t meet him anymore. I’m begging you, okay? The Roy people said in a soft voice, \"Don’t say that. What is obtained through begging is something no one else needs.\" What is Zheng Qiu Dong? Is it the person you truly love? Or it’s a necessity for living in this city (that’s really insightful; I admit it). Jia Yimei: Of course (wiping away her tears and continuing), it’s the person I love. Luo Yiren: You’ve hit the nail on the head; it’s not that you’re worried about me, it’s that you lack confidence in yourself. You have seen him with Xiong Qingchun, and you have also imagined what he would be like with me. You can’t help but make comparisons; no matter how you compare, it seems to you that he treats you less well than others. Jia Yimei said firmly: It’s not my illusion; that’s the way things are. The Roy people: If that’s really the case, then it’s a pity for the two of you. Jia Yimei finally spoke out what she had been holding back: I think he still has feelings for you in his heart. Roy: You must still think that I still have him in my heart, right? Jia Yimei: Is that so? Roy people: No (said firmly). Do you believe it? (The editor doesn’t believe it.) Jia Yimei said with a bitter smile: At least I’m willing to believe it. (Willing to believe it; the reasoning is sound.) ) The Roy people: Xiao Jia, I can’t have grown up a few years older for nothing; having experienced both great joys and great sorrows, one always gains some insights that help one survive. I can tell you that the cost of being childish as a girl is high, and it’s best to put an end to it at the age when one is ready for a relationship. Otherwise, you’ll lose out on wonderful times and countless opportunities, gaining at most a few words of sympathy in return. By the time you realize it, your eye corners are full of wrinkles. There are many forms of immaturity, and one of them is deceiving oneself. Jia Yimei didn’t know how to respond, so she said: Without being childish, there is no real love. If lying to oneself brings a sense of peace, then go ahead and lie. Roy: Since things are settled now, why do you still say he has feelings for me? (Sincerely) At least don’t lie to yourself (whispering harmoniously). At that moment, Roy’s phone rang. Roy said, \"They’ve all gone; I should head over to Sister Kui’s house now.\" The Roy person turned to leave, but Jia Yimei rushed after him (emphasizing the ultimate purpose of this conversation) and said, \"Are you still satisfied with having promised me?\" Roy person: Promised what? Jia Yimei: I won’t see him anymore. Roy Ren: I’m sorry, but I can’t accept such restrictions aimed at a third party. I don’t believe in something that can promise guarantees. If you feel that you can never get everything from Zheng Qiu Dong, there is a dangerous possibility that you need to be aware of. Jia Yimei: What kind of danger could there be? Roy people: You two aren’t right for each other. Roy quickly added, \"I’m just guessing; please don’t take it personally.\" Then the Roy people turned and left, and Jia Yimei watched their retreating figures with helplessness and a hint of despair. This confrontation is a clash between two selves; the Royans and Jai Mei are like two different selves. One is the true self, and the other is the ideal self. The two egos clashed head-on, and the result is as everyone can see. What I would like to talk about here is the aspect of emotional building between the two sides in this confrontation: there is less stinginess and more generosity ； There are few who are proud; many who are appropriate ； Few words of comfort, many words of encouragement ； Few criticisms, plenty of encouragement ； Many pleas, little compassion (another form of care) ； This conversation is about the person one loves the most. In this conversation, Jia Yimei remained cautious, while Luo Yi said that her loved one finally refused to endure things anymore; this time she said no. Although the gap between the two is obvious, this conversation was fascinating and prompts deep reflection...
