Chen Ru nodded vigorously.
"I think so too. You’re so right."
Gu Jiaojiao: ...
She had no idea which part of what she’d just said was worthy of praise, but seeing Chen Ru’s sincere expression, Gu Jiaojiao couldn’t help but chuckle.
Chen Ru, thinking she had said exactly what Gu Jiaojiao wanted to hear, chuckled along with her.
She had learned all this from Sun Yeshu.
Sun Yeshu loved being praised, and she would always be delighted whenever Chen Ru said things like that.
When Gu Jiaojiao saw Chen Ru smile, she was pleasantly surprised. "You have dimples! They’re so cute when you smile."
Chen Ru froze, touching the dimples on her face. It was the first time anyone had ever called her cute.
She couldn’t help but feel self-conscious.
"No, they’re not nice. I’m too fat."
This was an era where most people didn’t have enough to eat, yet Chen Ru was as round as a ball. She drew strange looks wherever she went, because she was already an anomaly.
Gu Jiaojiao looked her up and down before giving an honest assessment. "You are a little chubby, but you’re tall, and your facial features are well-proportioned. Your hair is dark and glossy, and you have a healthy complexion. If you just slimmed down, you’d be a real beauty."
Chen Ru, who had never been praised like this before, was stunned.
Sure, people would occasionally say she was pretty, but their eyes were always filled with disdain. She knew they just wanted something from her.
Just like those previous "friends." After complimenting her, they would always ask if she had any eggs because they were so hungry.
Or if she had any brown sugar or things like that.
But their praise always came with an agenda.
This was the first time Chen Ru had been praised for who she was as a person.
And Gu Jiaojiao’s words were so specific that she couldn’t help but start thinking.
