God Invasion: It's awesome to save the world with five problematic girls!-Chapter 548 - 153. Ruoyu (two in one) _6

"Bullied?"

"Ah... when I was small, Angry Birds was really popular. All the kids around me were playing."

Spencer chuckled, lifting his phone to show Yan Huan the sparsely haired, slightly bulging-eyed version of himself on the screen,

"Then look, don’t I resemble those bald green pigs in it?"

"..."

Yan Huan looked at the inherently frail-looking child on the screen and then glanced at Spencer now, as if realizing something.

Spencer himself looked at the image on the phone again and explained,

"At that time, I thought those people wanted to be friends with me. Those peers, because of my mother, always pretended to be nice to me, and I naively believed them.

"In the end, they were just treating me like a fool for their amusement. When playing the game, they always played as those birds with pretty feathers, and I was that annoying green pig..."

Spencer put down the phone, picked up a small stone, and threw it toward the building outside.

"Clack~"

The stone was thrown precisely onto the rooftop opposite, but there was no joy on Spencer’s face for the accurate hit.

Because at this moment, in her eyes, over there was just a dumb child covering his sparsely-haired head with his hands.

"Why... why are you tossing me, huh? Aren’t we friends?"

"We are friends, but we’re just playing roles. We’re the birds, and you’re the pig."

"Why am I the pig?"

"What else could it be? Because you don’t have hair, you see we all do. That’s the birds’ feathers, and pigs don’t have feathers."

"..."

Spencer dully stared at the kids with their colorful, beautiful feathers and dumbly said,

"I really believed it, that I was born a green pig and they were the beautiful birds.

"From that point on, to me, all the other normal people with hair were all birds, and only I, alone, was a green pig.

"I really believed, they saw me as a friend, just that their hitting me was because of the game, because of role-playing...

"Because in front of my mom, they were always smiling, always pretending to have such good relations with me."

Yan Huan also turned to look at the lively parade happening right below her feet.

The fortress of those pretty birds seemed to hang upside down in the sky, eternally out of reach for her, the inherently silly little pig.

"Until one day, my mom told me my illness was cured, my hair had grown back...

"At that time, I thought, finally, I could be a bird and stop being a pig, huh?"

Yan Huan casually glanced at her self-mocking expression and said faintly,

"Actually, it wouldn’t be because of hair, right?"

"Yes. Even without hair, short height, stupidity, a weak nature, as long as there are weaknesses, they always have reasons."

Just like when a building gets one broken window, the rest will also be broken one by one.

People who are meek and weak will always be bullied, taken advantage of from all sides.

Thinking about this, Spencer became sad.

She watched the building across and the piglet, who couldn’t withstand the anger anymore, stood up to resist.

The little pig pinned the surrounding birds in front of it, tearing off their beautiful feathers, punching their beautiful faces one by one.

Beating them until they cried, beating them until they begged for mercy.

But even so...

The pig still remains a pig, and birds remain birds.

From that day on, besides herself, there were only birds in Spencer’s eyes.

The little pig, fearful of the shiny, dazzling birds outside that were different from itself, no longer dared to step out of the house.

Even now, despite being forcibly taken by her mother to this distant place, she was still fearful.

But she knew that showing any sign of weakness would lead to being bullied, so she had to disguise herself as strong as the other birds.

Thus she acted fierce, she acted strong.

Only with someone as weak as herself, only with someone gentle and willing to accept her weakness, would she shed the feathers that disguised her as a bird.

That was why, she was so picky with other people, reacting violently at the slightest hint of hypocrisy.

She was just terrified of once again encountering the same kind of false people from her childhood that would hurt her using the same methods.

Listening, Yan Huan was slightly startled and asked,

"So, that was why you helped An Le back then, right?"

"Mm... Because, she and I are the same. When I see her being bullied, it always feels like I’m watching myself."

Spencer hugged her knees, her lips pouted, as she spoke,

"The others in the Hentai Club are the same. I always feel that they... are the same as me."

"... and I’m not, am I?"

"Mm... you... are a bird."

"Then why are you telling me all this?"

Upon hearing this, Spencer, who was hugging her legs, turned her head in a daze to look at Yan Huan.

After a moment of silence, she suddenly asked softly,

"Then... will you bully me?"

"..."

Yan Huan’s eyes narrowed slightly, feeling a warmth in his heart.

Immediately, he hurriedly shifted his gaze a bit and retorted,

"Haven’t you always been bullying me? When have I ever bullied you?"

"Hehe, that’s true. But I did say before at the hospital that I would tell you why I’m afraid of hospitals, and also, about the trouble I caused you before..."

Spencer smiled foolishly again, looking down at the streets below and said,

"I’m sorry..."

"..."

"I thought that as long as I acted strong and fierce, I wouldn’t be bullied."

Spencer gazed vacantly, her voice soft,

"But I don’t want to bully you or anyone else. I’m even envious of you all.

"I know you are the normal ones, I want to be like you...

"I also want to have the beautiful things you have. I have tried to create it, but it seems that I can only mess everything up."

Ripples of invisibility scattered from her, enveloping most of those she considered birds, like a curse.

She once tried to study hard, but those characters seemed like hieroglyphs, all twisted and turned, impossible to be absorbed into her mind.

She had tried to make friends in class, but from the first day, it seemed like everyone inexplicably disliked her, to the point where they refused to even point her to where to return the ball.

Time after time of failure made her increasingly give up on herself, even beginning to doubt whether she could ever achieve anything.

So, she resigned to her fate.

"However, don’t worry, ah, Yan Huan... After this club competition, I will leave the school."

"?"

Yan Huan turned his head to look at Spencer, who muttered,

"My family said they would keep my enrollment, so I just won’t come to school every day. But I can still come and find An Le and the others to hang out often, so, it’s really nothing big, ah!"

Yan Huan paused for a second, then asked, "... So you don’t have the confidence to win the club competition? It’s a pity you’ve been training so hard recently."

"It’s not about winning or losing, ah, although, I do indeed want to win once... just once."

Spencer raised her gaze to the Hentai Club members standing on the side of the road below, who also seemed very happy, and said with a smile,

"If I lose, then I lose.

"If I win, I will give my club’s wish to my club members, letting these people who have always been bullied have one of their wishes come true, ah!"

Looking at Spencer’s smiling face, Yan Huan felt a slight stir in his heart.

He seemed to want to say something, but in the next second, a firework suddenly burst above in the sky.

"Bang!!"

"Yan Huan, look quickly ah!!"

All the words he wanted to say were interrupted by the fireworks before his eyes, his hesitant expression illuminated by the firework, along with Spencer’s smiling, pallid face.

For the moment, he was unable to break the atmosphere and could only silently turn his head to look at the sky.

Above the sky, a golden bomb-pig shaped firework exploded, filling Spencer’s entire field of vision and ignited all the resentment of her past.

But at this moment, in her eyes, there was only the extremely bright firework.

However, Yan Huan, sitting beside her, had already turned back his gaze without notice, glancing at Spencer’s profile.

Then, he too revealed a smile, looked up at the fireworks in the sky, and said softly,

"Really beautiful."

"Right? Hehe..."
