Naive Hao Ren

Hao Ren, ordinary teenager who is known for his because kindness, but his kindness is what makes him often taken advantage of by those closest to him, be it friends or family.

In this world filled with filth, it's rare to find a good person like him.

"Hao...Ren, please help me with my homework again yes..."

"Mine too, please."

"Me too me too!"

"Me too please."

Four students, including two boys and two girls, approached Hao Ren who was sitting alone on his bench in front.

Each of them brought several assignment books and piled them on Hao Ren's desk while showing a shameless smile.

"Again?"

"Yes… you can, right?" One of the girls persuaded Hao Ren in a way tease him.

This wasn't the first time the four of them had taken advantage of Hao Ren's kindness. It can be said that, almost every time they have assignments or anything related to lessons, they always take advantage of Hao Ren's kindness and intelligence.

As usual, Hao Ren always agreed to the request even though sometimes what they did was not worth what they did afterwards.

"Y-yes-yes, I'll help..." Hao Ren smiled weakly with a small sigh.

His little heart felt heavy to obey all that.

But how else. On the one hand he can't refuse the fourth request people like them.

"Yey… Thanks, pal."

"You are the best of friend."

"Do it right , huh..."

They then left the class after giving meaningless compliments to Hao Ren.

"Hahaha, as usual, a naive person like him is easy to take advantage of."

One of the boys from the four students laughed softly at Hao Ren as they while walking out of classroom.

One of the girls covered her mouth with her hand and whispered softly so that Hao Ren wouldn't hear.

"Shutt… Hey, don't talk like that, if he hears, we won't be able to use it again…"

It's too late, what did they just say and what were they trying to cover up from Hao Ren's ears could still be heard clearly.

However, as usual, Hao Ren tried not to take it personally.

Why? Of course because he's a good person.

Even if his kindness had no meaning in their eyes, he would always do good.

Even if they repay his kindness in different ways, he will always do good.

Whatever happens he will always do good.

One word that might describe someone like him, Naive!

Besides being known for his kindness and intelligence, Hao Ren is also commonly known for his weak physical condition.

Because he is smart and very kind, he should have lots of friends, right? Yes, generally it is.

However, that didn't happen to Hao Ren.

Why can?

All of this because his physical weakness and illness often made him often shunned, ridiculed, bullied and eventually isolated by his environment.

The reason they do this is actually quite simple, they just don't want to be infected by Hao Ren's disease which is said to be can contagious.

Even though it's all just rumors spread by envious people

towards Hao Ren's achievements.

In conclusion, as far as he behaved well, in the end they all always treated him the same.

.....

"Ok everyone, for this gym class we will be doing a practical exam. Before that, each of you should form a group first."

The students who were listening immediately dispersed after receiving a command from the gym teacher.

Each student starts looking for a partner to form a group.

One, two, three groups have been formed.

Meanwhile, Hao Ren still didn't get a group because his classmate always rejected him

No wonder they refused, considering that this was a practical exam, a person who had a weak physique like Hao Ren would certainly only be a burden, useless if he entered one of the groups that would take the exam.

So pathetic...

Tidak ada yang namanya solidaritas dalam lingkaran pertemanannya

Everything is based only on the useful and the useless.

They wanted to be friends with Hao Ren only when there was a need.

Or in other words, Hao Ren had absolutely no such thing as true friends.

.....

"Um~ Can I join your group?"

This time Hao Ren asked to join a group in which there were four people who used to ask him for help with assignments. He hope this little request can be accepted.

But the expressions on the faces of the four people showed that they were hesitant to accept it.

They whispered to each other cynically considering Hao Ren's request.

"Hey! I'm joining your group huh!"

However, when one called out to them to join in, they prefer that person over Hao Ren.

"Yeah… Sorry Hao Ren, For this time you have to find another group, huh?." The four people it smiled blandly refusing Hao Ren's request.

"Huh? but..." Hao Ren's words stopped when he saw their cynical expressions that seemed to mean something.

"Alright..." Hao Ren tried to accept their treatment even though his heart ached.

It's like milk replaced with tubal water. Her heart hurts so much

How could it not be, the person who had always been helped by him without ever expecting anything in return, now refused this one small request of his.

It's really unfair...

.....

Not only in the school environment, in his family environment he often gets the same treatment.

Even worse.

As a child, Hao Ren was dumped in an orphanage by his parents and ended up living there.

He lives in an orphanage with his brother and sister.

The treatment of his brother and sister is not much different from those at school.

Her older siblings always ridiculed her because they were jealous of her achievements which was the reason why they were always compared to her. Not infrequently they also often bullied him.

While her younger siblings...

"Little brother, what are you doing?" Hao Ren, who at that time intended to leave the house while carrying some quite large money in his pocket, aimed to buy something, But he gave up his intention when he saw his two younger siblings were crying in the corner.

"My toy… My toy was tampered with by third brother, ..."

"My toys too..."

The younger brother cried quite loudly while showing the toy in question.

The naive Hao Ren felt sorry for their plight.

He didn't know that it was just a charade.

The tears that flowed down the cheeks of the two siblings were only a camouflage to deceive him.

"Well, then let Brother buy a new one, okay."

Hao Ren took the money from his pocket, "Here's the money. Don't cry anymore..." He held out the money while stroking the heads of the two brothers for a moment before returning to his room with a heavy heart.

Even though the money was money that he had been collecting desperately and secretly so that his older brother and the caretakers of the orphanage wouldn't know about it in order to buy a laptop for him to study.

Unfortunately he had to postpone his wish

first because his naive self is more concerned with his younger sibling's wishes than her self.

"Hey-hey, here..." The other four younger siblings, who had been hiding for a long time, came out to surround the younger brother who had received money from Hao Ren.

"Let's see..." The two siblings showed the money to the others and the four of them were stunned.

"Wow..."

"He turned own out to be more money than I saw last night..."

"Is it right? "

"That's right, as you might have guessed, he's been hiding this much money from us all this time..."

"Hahaha, at this rate we can be satisfied today..."

"Ha ha ha..."

The six ignorant siblings laughed evilly because they felt they had succeeded in deceiving their naive brother.

Hao Ren didn't really return to his room, he could clearly see what they were doing from behind the wall, but stupidly he didn't rebuke them at all.

Really, Hao Ren never thought that they would do something like that, considering that they had always behave kind in front of him.

Sick? Certain. Who doesn't get sick of being treated like that? Especially by those closest to him.
