Hello, Mr Li

Chapter 22

Heya"s mood turned solemn when she heard Sara. She was born and raised in a renowned family and had even attended the school of Elites in the country.

So she had never thought that they were actually people in the world who were suffering more than she was.

"I know you think this is insignificant. But it really... really makes me sad" She said sadly with her head lowered.. It was the first time she actually opened up to a stranger about her feelings.

When Sara saw her look, she knew it was time to strike. She sat down beside her and played the video again.

When it got to the last picture on the video, Heya was confused by what she saw.

it was a picture of a very chubby woman. But the before and after pictures were still the same. She was still fat and had a radiating smile plastered on her face.

"I don"t understand" She said looking intently at the phone"s screen. "who is she? And why is there a before and after when she is still looking exactly the same?" Heya asked inquisitively.

"She is Kang Anxi. She was my lecturer during my third year in college.

"According to her, She hated herself so much especially when she was in high school. people always mocked her and called her a fat pig. She even tried to commit suicide one day."

Li Heya"s gaze was still fixated at the screen as she saw several pictures of the woman smiling happily. In one of the pictures, she was standing with a man who was also smiling at the camera. In Another, she was standing with the same man and two teenagers.

"After refusing to go to school for over a week, she had an unexpected visitor. it was her cla.s.smate that she had been crus.h.i.+ng on. She was surprised when she saw him because they had never spoken to each other in school at all. In fact, she always his from him. He told her he hadn"t seen her in school for a while so he came looking for her. When she asked him why? He said he didn"t know either but just wanted to see her because he missed her smile.

Li Heya looked at the screen with tears clouding her eyes. She could imagine how the woman had felt.

"... He told her he had tried talking to her in school severally but she always ran away from him so he felt she hated him.. She was so shocked that she began to cry.. She never believed there was someone who still liked her the way she was. Since then, she learned to smile more and grew to love and accept herself that way. If the love of her life loved her that way, why would she still care about other people"s opinion?"

Sara pointed the man in the image "That"s him, They both got married many years back. And those two, are their Twin sons" she said pointing at the two teenagers on the screen.

At this point, Li Heya could no longer hold back her tears and started crying. She suddenly remembered the awful words she had overheard her previous coach saying on the phone to someone else about her. She also remembered how the guy she liked in high school rejected her for a prettier girl. She buried her head on her laps and cried more.

Sara patted her back slowly and spoke.

"If you accept your flaws, no one can use them against you. All you have to do is love yourself and whatever anyone says would not affect you. We can help you lose weight but we cannot help you see yourself as important if you refuse to see yourself that way. So, I want you to always remember something. YOU ARE PRECIOUS!"

Heya"s tears continued streaming down when she heard Sara.. "you are precious" no one has ever told her that.

She suddenly spoke while still crying

"I... I.. I overheard her..." she stopped for a while and cried. While Sara continued patting her back.

"She was telling someone on the phone that she would have committed suicide if she looked anything like me"

She stopped again and cried even more..

"I was so embarra.s.sed I couldn"t even tell my parents why I didn"t want her to be my coach anymore"

Sara understood what she was trying to say and stopped her from saying anything further.

She realised that the opinion of Heya"s coach had greatly influenced her self-perception. .She couldn"t help feeling bad for Heya

"You shouldn"t have been affected by her trashy-talk.. Let"s put you in shape quickly and go give her a faceslap. What do you say?" Sara asked with a grin.

Heya raised her head to look at her. There were tears all over her face and her eyes were bloodshot red.

She had a determined look on her face as she nodded affirmatively.

There was nothing she needed more than to faceslap that silly woman.

Sara smiled mischievously when she saw her determined look. Mission Accomplished!
