I can rewind time to prevent death

Chapter 331: Chapter 280: Ugly Girl (Six) (4400 words)

Yan Junze’s guess was correct. If he hadn’t previously made that remark about letting Ugly Girl bravely face others with her true appearance, the faces of the children in Second Uncle Wang’s courtyard wouldn’t have become twisted and deformed, looking exactly like Ugly Girl.

Although he seemed to be comforting Ugly Girl, in her ears, his words took on a different flavor, triggering her paranoid personality.

“Since you let me face everyone bravely with my true appearance, what if all these children turned into my likeness? Would the adults be scared then?”

After understanding Ugly Girl’s personality, Yan Junze knew he couldn’t speak like that anymore. Looking at the crooked mouth and distorted nose in front of him, he lowered the scissors, no longer intending to cut the hair covering her eyes.

His previous words had to be expressed differently.

Yan Junze quickly drafted a response in his mind and said, “What’s most beautiful in a person isn’t their appearance, but their soul.”

At that moment, he felt like he had suddenly become a master of soul-soothing clichés.

“At first, I was curious and wanted to see for myself if you looked as ugly and terrifying as people said,” Yan Junze seemed to be speaking to the air, but his gaze did not shift from Ugly Girl’s body.

He paused there and added, “But now, I’ve realized that it doesn’t matter. What is important is that I can feel you’re actually kind, not unreasonable, paranoid, or weird as they said. At least… from the time I entered the house until now, you haven’t shown any hostility towards me, which shows that you need someone to understand you. And I, understand you.”

The assessment of Ugly Girl’s paranoid and weird personality was Yan Junze’s speculation; nobody had mentioned it before. But whether she bore him any ill will needed no guesswork; she definitely did, only because in the last Rewind, he had known about it, and in this Rewind, shaving off all the girls’ hair effectively removed Ugly Girl’s reliance for lashing out.

Otherwise, Yan Junze might have already been wrapped up into a giant zongzi by all the hair by this point.

As he finished speaking, he saw the hanging corpse move slightly, its hands slowly extending.

But this time, Ugly Girl didn’t reach for Yan Junze’s hand; instead, she touched the hair on the upper half of her face and gently pushed it aside to reveal her full cheek.

Although he had been prepared, and had already seen her true face in the last Rewind, Yan Junze nearly lost his composure the instant Ugly Girl swept her hair aside.

His eyelids twitched several times, but he managed not to close his eyes, and with a zombie-like smile on his face, he softly said, “In this world, there are many people whose appearances are bright and attractive, but on the inside, they are vile and heartless, as venomous as snakes and scorpions, with just a fine outer shell, but their actions are worse than those of pigs and dogs. I believe that your heart is a hundred times more beautiful, a thousand times kinder than theirs.”

Ugly Girl had basically grown up confined since she was a child, without much contact with the outside world, and she rarely even had the chance to communicate with her parents, let alone have strangers talk to her this much and explain so many things to her.

Hence, Yan Junze’s words easily reached deep inside her, as long as they did not cause a misunderstanding like the last time, that would then manifest in the children.

No sooner had Yan Junze finished speaking than the grotesque face in front of him moved slightly, the crooked lips trembling, the large buck teeth parted, and a thick yellow liquid flowed down as Ugly Girl spoke.

“What you said… Is it true?”

The voice was hardly distinguishable as male or female, even quite hoarse, as if even Ugly Girl’s vocal cords were deformed.

“It’s true,” Yan Junze nodded, “This world is complex and so are the definitions of beauty and ugliness, good and evil. They aren’t just judged by a person’s appearance. For instance, when I look at you, I feel a sense of familia… warmth. I know you are not as repulsive as people might think, but you have developed a mistaken belief that being ugly means you have to feel inferior and hide. ”

Ugly Girl’s body began to tremble slightly, as if she were crying, but there was no sound.

After a moment, she lowered the hand that had pushed the hair away and stretched out both hands to Yan Junze, making a gesture as if she wanted a hug.

Yan Junze’s heart skipped a beat, and he managed a smile, “Let’s do this, I’ll tidy you up first, you have too much hair on your body. You have to know, these don’t belong to you, and they have even made you no longer look like yourself.”

With that, he picked up the scissors and began to cut away the excess hair from Ugly Girl.

Because Ugly Girl’s hair had continued to grow after her death and it had become so long that it could cover her entire body, cutting it bit by bit would definitely be slow.

Yan Junze estimated the length and said, “Leaving your hair until the middle of your waist should be about right.”

Without waiting for Ugly Girl to respond, he cut across her waist in a clean sweep, snipping off the excess hair.

Then he trimmed the hair in front of Ugly Girl’s cheeks. Although his hair-cutting skills were lacking, it was still passable.

During this process, Yan Junze’s right hand, including his index and middle fingers, suddenly started to go numb again, unable to exert force.

He looked down and blinked hard, because at the moment he looked down, he thought he saw his fingers becoming somewhat translucent.

But after blinking, looking closely once more, everything seemed normal, and the numb sensation was fading.

Holding the scissors, he continued to trim Ugly Girl’s hair at the forehead. @@novelbin@@
