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."
