This Is Not What I want
|
Am I too pure? Do I look much like a do-gooder? Why you guys always deceive me? Don’t you know I am gonna sink in? Why you can’t be sincere to become my friends?
Last night, I received a call, which is an unfamiliar friend. "hello, this is Xue. Remember me? we knew each other in the English Coner." He said. I made no answer, hesitated for a while. "Aha, yes, it's you. What a surprise!" I answered. "Ha, are you available tomorrow morning? I will go back NanChang for a few days. I wanna see you and invite you to have lunch ." He laughed. "No, you are welcome. It's supposed to be my treat." I said nervously. I was thinking why he suddenly get in touch with me and be so friendly to me. Is it a trick?
……
Finally, he persuaded me successfully to accept his invitation. Because, he has graduated from school, while I am still a student without income. And as a matter of fact, he did leave good impression on me. He ought to be a kind person. That's the deal.
Being not quite familiar with him, I couldn't behave naturally over the lunch. Later on, I was overwhelmed by his hospitality. And the tension was lessened step by step. We did have a hearty lunch and light-hearted talk. Besides, he brought his some specialities and oranges for me. You are too welcome, my friend.
Here comes the turn. "Alice, could you do me a favor?" he asked. "What is it?" I said surprisingly.
"Tomorrow, my sister has an examination in your school, would you kindly help her attend it? I know it's sort of tricky, but…" he spoke with his whole emotion. I didn't reply him instantly. "So that it explains" I thought it without speaking it out. What can I say? refuse him? I am afraid it's not good.
There is no free lunch in this world. I am gonna keep away from you except this time. I can't be calm after his leaving. I am pondering about friendship over this afternoon. This is not what I want.

- It is not a right thing to do to help somebody do an exam. His approach was quite friendly and not intended to hurt you. Everyone needs other to help at sometime or other so don't feel hurt by this.

- i can understand your feeling about the guy. yeah, friendship should be pure without any profit cheating. you are willing to be his friend ,but you can't accept his lunch words just for a exchange for his sister's exam. that's a complex feeling beyong pure friendship. your finally choice need yourself make,merely wish you follow your heart before make any choice.

- This is not friendship. I can't stress it enough. This is NOT friendship. And he is not your friend. He just want to use you to get what he wanted.

- there is no free meal in the word,someone do something have their intension,many people said like this ,i do not think so ,but but as i growing up ,and experience somethig, i believe it ,so you need not feel sad and confuse ,this is normal .in my opinion make friend with someone is very easy .but to be a heart to heart friend is very very difficult ,so do not think too much about friendship

- yes there's no free lunch in this world. so we have to be cautious when we're receiving help or being given gifts generously. on the other hand we should not give up our belief that good guys do exist. that's the real meaning of life or society.
