Awakening in the Trap of Gentleness

    One day, I was traveling when I was robbed by a pickpocket. He happened to be passing by and, seeing what was happening, rushed to my rescue. I fell to the ground, covered in blood, and he immediately took me to the hospital.

    After I recovered, to repay his kindness, my family treated him to a meal to express our gratitude. This led to our relationship as brother and sister, and a promise we made. Later, he called to tell me that his wife wanted a divorce and asked if I had any money to lend him. I said I didn't have any, and he became unhappy and angrily hung up. The unpleasantness of the loan often made me feel guilty. I was grateful to a benefactor, but because of my meager salary and limited funds, I truly couldn't help him. However, I constantly reminded myself that there's a time to repay kindness, and it's not gentlemanly to leave it unfulfilled.

    Because of the unpleasantness of the loan, we were distant for a few days. Then, he started finding various reasons or excuses to ask me to go out. I'm a rather introverted girl and rarely go out at night. He then kept calling me, driving to my workplace to pick me up after work, and inviting me to dinner. But after they finished eating, they all left,

    and no one paid the bill. I was the last to leave, so the waiter asked me to pay. Because I wasn't prepared and had no money to pay, I called him. He lied and said his boss needed him urgently, and apologized profusely, asking me to pay the bill. I sincerely said, "We're friends, we don't need to be so formal." He then called a colleague to bring money to lend me. He had said on the phone that he was originally treating me to dinner, but things had turned out this way.

    Then, another time, he said he'd treat me. When I arrived at the hotel, I didn't recognize any of the guests. They had already ordered the food and were waiting for us to arrive. As soon as I walked in, they all stood up. They said, "The beautiful lady is here!" The scene was incredibly lively and enthusiastic. In front of everyone, he called me his sister and told them not to bully me anymore. They all seemed like scumbags. The payment process was the same as before…

    From gratitude to disappointment, I felt terrified and uneasy. During this time, I was filled with gratitude, but instead received deception; many factors left me constantly on the edge of my seat. Isn't it tragic to be deceived out of gratitude, easily swayed by sweet talk and one-sided words? Kind people in society, and those who have been hurt like me, let's walk out of the shadows together,

    because our journey is long.

    Although the internet is deceptive, and we are easily deceived in real life, the internet is even more fraught with danger. Friends, please don't fall into it easily. Nowadays, people are too vain and greedy, making them easily deceived. We must always be wary of those gentle traps.
