Mortal Kombat: Scumbag Men Stealing Away Yandere Girls

After all, it's really too difficult to talk to Yu Mengmeng. She's usually quiet and doesn't react to anything you say. She only talks to people when she wins a game, when she's in a good mood and smiles.

Bai Weiran didn't mind; taking things step by step, any progress was better than none.

I'll say a couple of sentences today, four tomorrow, and eight the day after.

"I don't have any friends," Yu Mengmeng replied softly, her smile fading and replaced by a look of caution and gloom.

"Nobody likes me."

After this period of analysis, Bai Weiran concluded that Mengmeng had two major problems.

Firstly, there is a sense of inferiority, specifically a feeling of inferiority about oneself.

Secondly, she has a strong sense of anxiety about social interaction, which is related to her low self-esteem, her concern about others' opinions, and her oversensitivity.

These are common problems that modern people cannot escape, but Yu Mengmeng, due to her weak health and long-term stay at home, away from people, gradually amplified her inferiority complex and social anxiety due to fear. Without other friends, she placed her only emotional support on Su Cheng.

Bai Weiran started chatting with her gently.

This situation cannot be resolved with a few weak words of comfort: "Nonsense, you're beautiful, you really are beautiful!"

Or undergo a complete makeover from head to toe, instantly becoming radiant and walking with confidence.

This kind of thing is all inspirational and feel-good content.

Once a fixed way of thinking is formed in the human brain, it is difficult to change one's personality with a single sentence or a change in appearance. In fact, what is most needed is not to change the external appearance, but to change the way the brain thinks.

In order to study this problem, Bai Weiran has read a lot of related books recently.

While Yu Mengmeng was huddled in the corner counting her toes, he was reading a book next to her.

Frustration about the task's progress was pointless, and pressuring her was unreasonable.

If I can't think of a better way right now, it means there's something missing. It's not about forcing her to do things the way I dealt with Qin Ning. That's like trying to cook rice from a bowl and forcibly stuffing your foot into an ill-fitting shoe.

What do you do in this situation? What if you don't know enough?

Reading books

Bai Weiran chose to read a book.

Let those with higher cognitive abilities tell you the answer.

Inferiority complex is like a problem with the psychological immune system, which is closely related to childhood experiences. As a child, Yu Mengmeng was talked about because of her special appearance, and there were always people who would bully her. Her brother, Su Cheng, only took a protective and gentle approach to comfort her.

Actually, it didn't really help Mengmeng.

She didn't learn the courage and composure to deal with such gossip and ridicule.

Applying medicine to an injury can help it heal, but it won't make your body stronger or prevent future injuries.

Yu Mengmeng has a very serious inferiority complex, so serious that she rejects all positive feedback.

Bai Weiran was amazed by her gaming talent and showered her with praise, but Yu Mengmeng's response was always the same: "I know you're just trying to comfort me. I'm not actually that good, I know."

She no longer believes in praise from others.

Bai Weiran sat down at the table, picked up a pen to write, and after finishing, he reached out and beckoned Yu Mengmeng, who was still fiddling with the handle in the corner, to find herself floating up and sitting down at the table.

"Now let's play another game called 'Self-Healing'."

Upon hearing about the game, Yu Mengmeng's curious DNA stirred, and she let Bai Weiran beckon her over to sit down.

The main reason is that the games Bai Weiran has brought over these days are all so fun that she's become quite addicted to them.

Moreover, Bai Weiran no longer forced her to study, and she spent her days in her room immersed in one wonderful world after another that she had never seen before.

He arrived at 8 p.m.

She had many opportunities to rush through that door and escape.

But she was always curious—what new games would Bai Weiran bring tomorrow?

Moreover, when he played with her, he never found her annoying and always had a great time, constantly praising her. He would even frequently exclaim in amazement at many difficult levels. When he got serious, he would analyze with her how difficult the level design was and how she cleverly passed it on the first try.

This made her a little happy.

Let's wait a bit longer, finish playing first before running away, okay?

Anyway, the door is there, so they won't run away.

Bai Weiran explained, "You need to write a letter now."

"Write a letter to another friend from the identity of Yu Mengmeng—"

"I have no friends..."

"Am I not?" Bai Weiran said with a smile.

"We've played so many games together, wouldn't you call us gaming buddies?"

Yu Mengmeng weakly replied, "You are a kidnapper."

Bai Weiran chuckled: Very good, you haven't lost your mind, and you haven't forgotten your roots while playing games.

"Then treat this as a letter to the kidnapper! The kidnapper's name is Wei Ran. Come on, start writing!"

Yu Mengmeng was puzzled and found it strange, but Bai Weiran had previously given her a good reputation, so she held back, believing it was just a game and continued.

"This Wei Ran has white hair and red eyes since childhood. His appearance is different from ordinary people, and he is often talked about. He is in poor health and can only study at home. Gradually, he became very lonely and dared not face outsiders. He always hid at home. Now he is very sad and upset. Mengmeng, what words would you like to use to encourage him?"

Write what you want to say on that piece of paper.

Yu Mengmeng, holding the pen, froze, staring blankly at Bai Weiran, who shrugged at her.

"Write it down quickly, or the kidnapper will do something bad to you. Haven't you ever seen a bad guy before?"

With difficulty and hesitation, she began to write on the paper.

Bai Weiran kept his distance from the side, watching with his chin resting on his hand.

Embark on a journey of self-healing, young lady!

You can change the thoughts and circuits in your own brain.

Chapter 5: Bai Weiran is very much looking forward to it (Bonus Chapter)

【victory!!】

A notification popped up on the big screen. The white-haired girl smiled, holding the controller, and subconsciously turned her head to look to her side—there was silence.

Oh, it's daytime now, he won't come.

Yu Mengmeng was holding the controller, about to select the next level, when she suddenly put it down, got up and fell onto the bed. First, she lay there looking at the ceiling, then she turned over and hugged a stuffed animal of a plumber in a red hat.

The masked man made a promise to her: if she could beat the game, he would give her a character doll. True to his word, the doll was a foot tall, chubby and soft, with a cheerful smile that made people feel happy—she remembered that night.

She hesitated for a long time with the pen in hand, but still didn't write a single word.

"I...I don't know..."

She is timid, weak, unattractive, and in poor health; these are all facts.

She didn't know how to comfort this person.

The masked man didn't press her any further, only saying that this was a long-term project and that she should take her time to think about it.

She brought paper and pen to the bed, lay down and carefully examined the words she had scribbled over the past few days, and pondered while holding the red-hatted plumber doll.

"Hey, Mao, if it were you, how would you comfort this person?"

“Mao can say—”

She muttered to herself, then picked up her pen again.

Bai Weiran's opening screen attack.

During his afternoon break, he wanted to check on Yu Mengmeng's condition. He opened the app, and the first thing he saw was a bear underwear logo on the screen.

Compared to Qin Ning, Yu Mengmeng is truly lazy. Even when Qin Ning is alone in her room, she is always properly dressed, while Yu Mengmeng doesn't dress properly. She often takes advantage of her young age and loli-like figure, wearing only her upper body and running around the room without even wearing shorts.

When playing games with myself, I basically don't wear a bra.

Although the small mound was flat, it was still possible to tell whether someone was wearing clothes or not.

Only after he scolded her did she reluctantly put on the clothes.

They spoke with such self-righteousness.

"Since no one can tell anyway, why do I have to wear it? It's so stuffy!"

The whole attitude is "I'm small but I'm proud," right?

Another terrible thing is that Yu Mengmeng has no common sense and is lazy. She will throw her underwear into the washing machine and wash it with other clothes.

Bai Weiran: ...

He couldn't bear to see them living such a rough life, even as a man.

He could only buy her dozens of cotton underwear and bras, and stipulated that she should wear a different one every day.

Once he had saved up enough, he washed her—of course, using his superpowers to wash her from a distance.

This was the first time in Bai Weiran's life that he had washed a girl's underwear and bra.

He was washing his underwear while Yu Mengmeng played games next to him.

The kidnappers are getting increasingly bizarre.

Now that he wasn't in the room, and she was running around without pants or underwear, not to mention bending over on the bed with her butt sticking out, not knowing what she was doing, Bai Weiran didn't even have time to take a closer look before Guoguo came back with the snacks, so he could only hurriedly turn off his phone screen.

Guoguo didn't notice his actions; she was too busy looking at the tidbits and complaining.

"Hey! They've changed the scallions in their condiments. They're not the thin scallions anymore. I preferred the old ones."

We're having beef hotpot today because Guoguo promised Bai Weiran we'd have it.

The clear broth with beef bones and radish steams gently, making it very comforting.

Guoguo and Bai Weiran naturally started talking about company matters.

"Unbeknownst to many, I've heard that Dong Zhengyuan's project can hold out for a while longer."

Bai Weiran looked surprised, but quickly picked up the scalding hot scallop.

"Have you heard anything about your best friend?"
