You have your own bright
stars, the flames of war, the love of the
whole city. They threw chemical reagents into my cup, put 502 glue on my hair, and poured milk tea into my schoolbag.
But they don’t know that my father is a trustee of this school.
If he knew that his baby daughter, who was reluctant to say harsh words, had been bullied like this.
To tell you the truth, I also want to see what my venerable old father will do.
At noon, I lie on my desk and take a lunch break.
“Tick-tock, tick-tock..”
A few drops of thick liquid suddenly ticked and ticked on my hair. The
back of the head immediately came with a bad smell and a strange burning sensation.
I woke up with a shock and wiped it with my hand reflexively.
Touching the hot liquid, my index finger and middle finger immediately stuck together tightly and could not be removed.
I looked back angrily, and as expected, Yao Man, the class flower, was looking down at me. In one hand,
she was holding an Olympic exercise book that I didn’t know when it had been torn up, and in the other hand, she was holding 502 glue, smiling with satisfaction and malice.
“I’m so sorry, Qiuhe.”
She arrogantly shook the torn and soaked pages of my book with an embarrassed look on her face.
“I wanted to help you mend the book, but I didn’t expect to get it in your hair.”. Ah, my hair is already quite short. What can I do now?
Well, it’s pretty short. During a lunch break
two weeks ago, several girls led by Yao Man just cut off my ponytail, which forced me to change to short hair.
That day, in the first class in the afternoon, as soon as Mr. Ge, who teaches chemistry, entered the door, he saw broken hair all over the floor and stared at Yao Man with clenched teeth.
It was obvious that she knew immediately what was going on.
But she just hung her head, opened the courseware, and said lightly, “Qiuhe, go and sweep the floor.”
“Teacher Ge..” I felt my voice tremble.
“Go and clean up before class. Don’t waste everyone’s time.” But she wouldn’t give me a chance to talk.
It is indeed a top private high school. When teachers solve problems, they always make light of them, and at the same time, they show their partiality openly.
Before long, I learned that Mr. Ge’s husband was the deputy director of one of Yao Man’s factories.
In just two years, from the small foreman to the assistant factory director, the salary has increased four or five times, all thanks to the relationship between teacher Ge’s “good chemistry teaching.”.
Not to mention partiality, if she could, she would like to lie down immediately and let Yao Man hold her hair as a horse to ride.
As a result, a major event was turned into a minor one, and Yao Man became more and more unscrupulous, such as the 502 glue this time.
“Don’t stare at me, Qiuhe.”
The perpetrator will never be able to empathize. Yao Man-hsien pouted
, but his tone was so hard that he seemed to want to gouge out my eyes:
“Well, why don’t you go to my house after school, and I’ll find my personal barber and design a buzz cut for you?” As she
spoke, she and several of her classmates around her burst out laughing.
A buzz cut. How fresh it is for
a girl to have a buzz cut.
“That won’t be necessary.” I snatched the barely usable workbook from her hand and said, “Go back to your seat. Class is about to begin.”
Yao Man froze for a moment, and my lack of resistance disappointed her.
She folded her arms and curled her lips contemptuously, shaking her head with her little sidekick Wu Sheng-nan.
“Let’s go,” she said. “You’re all shameless and shameless. You’re pretending to study at the Olympics. You really think you can get an escort.”
“Next time I take off her clothes and record a video, I don’t think she will cry. I hope more men will see her.”
I pretended not to hear, turned to one of the pages, and began to do the exercises skillfully.
Take off your clothes and make a video?
If there is that day, perhaps, I will let Yao Man cry all his life. After school
in the evening, I plan to go to the barber shop to deal with my hair. When I
went to get my bike, not surprisingly, my tire was deflated. In
such an aristocratic school, there is a luxury car show at the gate every day, and I am the only one pushing a shriveled bicycle to and from school.
“Autumn River?”
After a few steps out of the school, a voice behind me called me.
It’s Ni Xingzhou. Sitting in the passenger seat of an orange sports car,
he opened the window and said to me,
“Qiuhe, are you alone?”? Get in. My mother will see you off on the way.
It’s not on the way. Who’s on the way to his villa.
I turned a deaf ear and ran around the corner.
I heard Ni Xingzhou’s mother calling me a few times,
“Little River?”? Is that child a river? I haven’t seen her for years.
On the other hand, Ni Xingzhou is the main source of Yao Man’s hatred for me.
He transferred to our school, actually not long ago.
But he is handsome, good at learning, and can play basketball. As soon as he entered the school, he directly took all the titles of straight A student and school grass.
Of course, it is also the man of the hour that girls are flocking to.
Including Yao Man.
Two months ago, at his birthday party, Yao Man, who had always been arrogant, was so humble that he begged Ni Xingzhou’s friends to take her with him.
She thought she was beautiful enough, dazzling enough, prominent enough, and deserved to be in his eyes.
But Yao Man never thought that he would take the initiative to sing on the stage. Before the prelude was finished, Ni Xingzhou left the stage and dialed a phone in an empty corner.
She had no idea that the next day, Ni Xingzhou came to our class specially to give me a cup of milk tea:
“You like it since you were a child, cocoa flavor.”
“I don’t want it.” I put my hands behind my back.
“No, no, you don’t want anything of mine!” Ni Xingzhou clenched his teeth and his beautiful eyes twinkled.
Qiuhe, why don’t you come on my birthday? Everything is cocoa flavored. Drinks, birthday cake, accompanying gifts. I remember you like it.
“You already asked me on the phone yesterday. I have to make up lessons. I’m not free.”
“I know what you care about, but it’s not my fault at all!” He grabbed my cuff and wouldn’t let go. When the
bell rang, I didn’t want to pull with him, so I took the milk tea and fled back to my seat.
This scene was in the eyes of Yao Man.
So I didn’t drink a mouthful of that cup of milk tea, and it was all poured into my schoolbag.
If you’seduce ‘him again, I’ll fill your schoolbag with milk tea every day. You don’t have to thank me. I’m afraid you can’t afford it yourself.
From then on, Yao Man’s eyes were fixed on me, and she wanted me to pay a painful price for her “seduction.”.
I was really annoyed recently, so Ni Xingzhou called me this time, and I just wished I could run faster with oil under my feet. It was full
of twists and turns, and when I pushed my bicycle to the barber shop, it was dark. It was
really hard to do. Teacher Tony trimmed it several times and finally frowned and said,
“If only you were a boy, I would have pushed it all for you.”
“Then push the light.” “Are you sure?” Shoc
ked Tony. I asked several times.
“I’m sure. Push it.” It’s fresher
than a buzz cut. I shaved my head. After
cutting my hair, I bought a tight baseball cap next to the barber shop and put it on.
Then, regardless of the strange eyes around him, he crossed the crowd and returned home.
For the first time, my mother was at home and prepared the meal. The
last time we had dinner together was a few months ago.
“The river is back.” She set up the bowl and chopsticks and beckoned me to sit down. “Eat quickly, it’s all you like, scrambled eggs with tomatoes.”
“Okay, thanks, Mom.”
In fact, I don’t like to eat scrambled eggs with tomatoes at all, but from childhood to adulthood, my mother only made this dish barely edible.
While I was eating, my mother was staring at her mobile phone, sliding her fingers on the screen, concentrating on the medical knowledge materials to prepare for the job transfer.
We are familiar and strange, silent and well.
Finally, I couldn’t help myself. “Mom, don’t you think there’s something wrong with me today?”
“Hmm?” She finally looked up at me. “It’s a little..” Before the
words were out, her cell phone rang. When she
picked up the phone, she frowned and said some professional medical terms.
At the same time, he put down his chopsticks and changed his clothes in the fastest time.
Finally, she answered, “..” I’ll be right there to prepare the patient for the operation.
“Mom..” I didn’t dare to look up for fear that she would see my sorrow and detainment.
“I can’t help it. A fire broke out in a residential building in the west of the city. Several patient in critical condition have been sent. I have to go to the hospital now.” She patted me guiltily on the head, or rather on my hat.
“Little river, mother loves you.” She planted a kiss on my cheek. The moment I
rushed out of the door, I had to admit that I thought she was fickle, but she was very sad.
My mother is a doctor who saves lives. Five years ago, my father finally divorced her
because he was obsessed with his work and neglected his family. On the day of the
divorce, at the gate of the Civil Affairs Bureau, my father held the divorce certificate in one hand and her hand in the other, unable to let go.
My mother kept her usual expressionless face and tried to push him away.
“Okay, I have an operation at ten o’clock. I have to go.”
“If your hands are cold in winter, I’ll cover them for you.” My father, an old fox galloping in the mall, now looked at my mother with a look full of pleading, “Can you cover it up a little more?”
My mother’s answer was, “Xiaohe will come with me. Don’t worry about her.”
My father said that my mother’s job was to treat burns and scalds, and by the way, she also treated her heart so cold that she could not cover it.
But that’s my dad’s side of the story. It took me
a long time to realize that my dad still had the words he didn’t say.
She’s such a person, that’s why I cheated. I’ve always loved her. I just accidentally made the mistake that all men make. She should forgive me.
This time I’m standing with my mother.
She shouldn’t forgive anyone, especially after my dad divorced and raised that woman until now. When I
chose high school, my father arranged for me to enter the school where he was the trustee.
This school has a very strong faculty, and its students are either rich or noble. After graduation, the rate of going abroad is seven or eight out of ten, and the offer from Ivy League schools is soft.
Although my grades were good, it was enough for me to go to a public provincial key high school.
We all know what my dad is thinking. He wants me to immigrate to Canada with him after graduation.
It’s better to let my mother put down her hard work and remarry him.
I thought my mother wouldn’t let go, but she agreed easily.
But she put forward her own request:
“You must not let others know about your relationship with her. There is only one parent in the river, and that is me.”
“Even if you are a member of the school board, you should not interfere in the affairs of the river.”
“Okay, okay.” Whether it’s guilt or true love, my father is always responsive to my mother, even after many years of divorce. On the first day of
school, the head teacher chatted with the students one by one. The point of the
chat is who your parents are.
“Chiu Ho, according to your information, is it a single-parent family?” When he said this, he had clearly anticipated my “humble origins.”.
“Yes, I live with my mother.”
“Where does she work?”
“She is a doctor at the People’s Hospital.”
The head teacher’s eyes softened a little, and it seemed that a doctor in a third-class hospital was a decent enough job.
“What department?”
“Burn Unit.”
The head teacher’s smile was subtle again:
“That’s not an important department. The work is quite leisurely. Is it the chief physician?”
I didn’t want to waste time with him, so I gave him the answer
he wanted directly: “Our family conditions are quite ordinary, and we can’t compare with other students.”. I just want to study hard and go to a good university later. Teacher Chien, can I go back and do my homework?
The head teacher nodded quietly and wrote down something on the paper.
“Average family circumstances.”.
These four words are my deepest imprint in this school. The
next day, I went to school as usual.
My mother stayed out all night and sent me a message at five o’clock in the morning, saying that when she went downstairs, she found that the wheels of my bicycle were suffocated, so she transferred me fifty yuan and asked me to take a taxi to school.
Strangely, she didn’t seem to ignore me so much. There were so many details that she could see.
I was lonely and distressed, and sending me a message at this point meant that she had just had an operation.
I received the transfer from her and went downstairs with my schoolbag on my back.
Unexpectedly, I saw Ni Xingzhou downstairs in my dilapidated residential building. Ni Xingzhou
pushing a brand new bicycle.
“Autumn River!”! Get in the car and I’ll see you off. He smiled brightly and patted the back seat of the bicycle.
It was when he saw my bald head that his expression changed obviously. As if he had
expected me to refuse, Ni threw out a reason
that he could not say anything about: “When I was six years old, on my birthday, you said you owed me a birthday wish. Do you remember that?”. Yes
, but I also remember that it was his twelfth birthday that ruined my life. After
that, I avoided him.
For example, now, I am busy burying my head and walking forward. When Ni Hsing-chou caught up with me on his
bicycle, he braked sharply and stopped in front of me:
“Chiu Ho, my birthday wish is to let me take you to school.”
I looked at him, then at my watch, and gave in.
But I still didn’t want to make trouble for myself: “Drop me off 500 meters from the school.” While waiting for a red light
on the road, Ni Hsing-chou suddenly said, “Who is it?”
“What?” I deliberately avoided answering.
“You can’t. You shaved your head because you thought it looked good.” I
didn’t speak. I turned my head and said nothing.
“You are always like this, Qiuhe!” Ni Xingzhou was easily annoyed. Everything
is on your own, and you have to solve the problem in your own deviant way? Like your mother, you have a hard heart, and as soon as I get close to you, my head is broken and bleeding.
“But it doesn’t matter. Even if you don’t say anything, I’ll find a way to know. I’ll always be able to protect you.”
I jumped off the back of his bike and scratched my ears. “We’re at 500 meters. You’re really making a lot of noise, Ni Hsing-chou.”
Protect me?
I don’t believe it!
My dad used to say he wanted to protect me, but then what did he do? When
Yao Man bullied me for the first time, I didn’t think about using his ability as a school trustee to make me a cool woman who played the role of a pig eating a tiger.
So at noon that day, I secretly called him behind my mother’s back.
“Little River?” But my dad on the other end was surprised to hear my voice.
Before I could say anything, he couldn’t wait to hang up the phone:
“Xiaohe, Dad is accompanying your aunt Duoduo to have a check-up in the hospital.”. The doctor called the number, so let’s not talk about it. Be good, Little River. Daddy will call you back in a moment. For the
next week, I waited for the sodium hydroxide thrown into my water cup and the alcohol lamp thrown at my head in Yaoman’s chemistry class, but I couldn’t wait for his call. I didn’t know until
a long time later that it was because he had more important things to do. The
hospital examination told him that Aunt Duoduo, the mistress who had been involved in my parents’marriage many years ago, was pregnant.
So, no one can protect me, no one.
In fact, I know that if I make a few more phone calls to let my father know how much I have been wronged, he will help me get rid of this bad breath.
But soon I realized that it was not glorious to defeat privilege with privilege.
Besides, I’m definitely not the only victim.
A few weeks ago, I saw many times that Pan Yuxin, a girl in the same class, was called away by Yao Man.
Came back with a black eye or a limp.
I’m going to solve all these problems in my own way.
But right now, I have more important things. The provincial competition of the Physics Olympiad, which
I have been preparing for a long time, is now imminent.
As long as they can get a good place in the provincial competition, they can join the national training team. After winning the gold medal
in the national finals, I could even be sent to Qingbei.
That way, I can get out of here for good.
I can go to Beijing with my mother.
She was transferred to the Medical Research Institute, which she had always been fascinated by, and I studied in Weiming Lake, Peking University, which I missed day and night.
So now, I have to endure, to engage in learning without distraction.
In the morning, as soon as I got to school, my bald head really attracted everyone’s attention.
Yao Man lifted my hat and touched my bright head contemptuously, again and again, like bullying a dog that had no ability to resist.
“Wu Sheng-nan, go and turn off the lights!” “Don’t waste electricity,” she shouted. “What lamp can shine as brightly as the head of the Autumn River?”
Everyone burst into laughter.
“Give it back!” I’m going to grab the hat.
Yao Man straightened his back, raised his hand and threw his hat out of the air, just in time to fall into the slop bucket that had just washed the mop.
“Oops!” She pretended to blame the little sidekick. “Wu Sheng-nan, why didn’t you catch it?”! Qiuhe doesn’t have a hat to wear, so don’t go blinding me with your head.
“That’s all right. I have an idea.” Wu Shengnan laughed viciously, then tore off a piece of draft paper, folded a paper hat a few times, and put it on my head.
I threw it on the ground, and Wu Shengnan picked it up again and insisted on pressing it on my head.
In the scramble, the teacher in charge of the class, Mr. Qian came.
Seeing my eye-catching head, his face sank: “Qiuhe, what do you look like?”? Come to my office after class.
As expected, it was my fault again.
After class, Mr. Qian frowned and waved to me. I did
not move, as if I could not see, and I tried my best to brush the Olympic exercises in my seat.
The teacher in charge of the class came up to me and pulled out the exercise book I was writing:
“Physics competition?”? Qiuhe, do you still have this dream? Our school has never won the first prize in the province for so many years. Although your grade ranking is OK, but this one-in-a-million opportunity, the whole country every year is one or two hundred people, the next life is not your turn! Don’t waste your time on this.
“Should I waste my time listening to your unfair scolding?” I don’t look up.
He didn’t know how hard I had worked to prepare for the Olympics.
This remark stung him, and the teacher in charge of the class slapped me on the desk:
“Qiuhe, you are so unreasonable that you dare to talk back to the teacher!”! Tell your father to come to school tomorrow, and I’ll ask him how he raised you! The word
“Dad” cuts into my heart like a knife. The pen in
my hand flickered, and then I looked up and said,
“Teacher Qian, I’m spending the day with my mother. She’s very busy. She may not be free.”
“Don’t you have a father?” “I still have to talk to your father.” After
saying this, he murmured in a low voice,
“You’ll just put the doctor’s mother off. It’s not a great department. It looks so great. The child has been educated like this!”.
I clenched my fist, pondered for a moment, and raised my face. Really? Are you really going to ask my father to come?
“Of course it’s true.”
“Oh.” I looked down again. “But I don’t have a father.”
The teacher in charge of the class was even more angry and was about to ask questions when a familiar voice suddenly came from the door.
“Teacher Chien, I can prove that neither of Chiu Ho’s parents is convenient.”
It was Ni Xingzhou, who was carrying a schoolbag, looking late, and wearing a cap on his head. He met
my gaze with a sudden grin, then took off his hat to reveal his equally bald head red melon seeds.
To tell the truth, the face is good-looking, even if it is bald, it is still the school grass.
I was surprised to see it. Did
he just go there and change the same style as mine?
Teacher Chien, do you have to call the parents if you want to shave your head? What about my parents? When do they need to report?
Ni Xingzhou? Why do you also..? The teacher in charge of the class was shocked, confused and angry, but he was still weak for a second.
He waved his hand and left. “Forget it. I don’t care about your things!”
He is also a teacher in Ni’s class, and has long known about Ni’s dazzling “family status label,” so naturally he doesn’t want to provoke them.
“Teacher Qian, please wait.” This time it was my turn to be unrelenting. “What if I could really win the provincial prize in the Physics Olympiad?”.
“What?” He turned around in an incredible way.
“If I win the prize, can you apologize to my mother in person for your disrespect for her work today?”
Perhaps I was used to being submissive and bullied on weekdays, but today I uncharacteristically wanted to seek justice, which attracted the attention of the students around me, and most of the class was silent.
However, of course, this does not include Yao Man and her followers. As soon as the class is over, the
group of girls will go out and walk back and forth in crowded places, eager to stay away from the head teacher.
“No problem.” Teacher Chien gave a few sharp nods. “But if you can’t do it, I’ll ask you to go out and stand in my class.”
“Yes.” I shrugged. “It doesn’t matter.” After
Mr. Qian left, Ni Xingzhou beckoned me out.
“What for?” I don’t know whether it was for his head or for his help, but I went out honestly.
He put the cap in his hand on my head and adjusted the button.
Then he leaned down slightly and whispered in my ear,
“Qiuhe, don’t listen to other people’s nonsense. You are one in a million, a shining man.” The night before the
Physics Olympiad exam, my mother was on duty in the emergency department as usual, but she still left a note to bless me.
Near midnight, I received a message from Ni Xingzhou.
He said that even if the whole world did not believe me, he also believed that I would get good grades and get the results I wanted.
“Look out of the window, Qiuhe.” Finally, he said, “The stars are as bright as you.”
Bright?
Me, bright?
I looked in the mirror and touched the new hairs on my head, and everything seemed to be about to give birth to flowers and fruits.
But before I bear fruit, I still can’t escape the destruction of Yao Man. In the afternoon of a few days
after the Olympic Games, I went back to class after the physical education class. The
door of the class was uncharacteristically unclosed.
Yao Man is talking and laughing in a low voice with several girls at the door of the class, and he has arranged some bad ideas at a glance.
I stood at the door, neither in nor out.
Wu Sheng-nan’s malice showed in her face, and she shouted,
“Get in the class quickly, you bald head, and how long are you going to make a fool of yourself outside?” “Qiuhe,” said
Yao Man, holding his arm, “do you want to go in by yourself, or do you want me to kick you in?” As soon as
her voice fell, several of her followers clapped their hands and shouted in unison, “Kick it in!”! Kick it in!
Wu Shengnan grabbed my hand roughly and put it on the door handle.
Blackboard eraser? Or a balloon filled with water? Or something more extreme?
I don’t know what will fall from the sky when I open this door. When I was
in a dilemma, a man suddenly grabbed my arm and pulled me back.
“Autumn River.” “No one can ask you to do something you don’t want to do.” Ni Xingzhou held the basketball in one hand and protected me in the other. Pulling
me behind him, he suddenly kicked the door open. More
than I expected, an iron bucket with a dirty mop suddenly fell, and the bell clanged and rolled several times on the ground, and finally stopped at Yao Man’s feet.
If I had pushed the door in just now and these fell on me..
Ni Xingzhou obviously thought of this, and when he saw these dirty crime tools, he was shocked at first, then angry and distressed.
He went to Yao Man’s side, picked up the bucket, held it high above Yao Man’s head, and then dropped it hard.
Yao Man was so frightened that he closed his eyes and cried out. The iron bucket in
Ni Xingzhou’s hand stopped two centimeters above her forehead:
Are you afraid? Afraid of pain? Or afraid of losing face? What if the bucket fell on her? Is she not afraid of pain?
“Next time, get the hell out of here.” Ni Hsing-chou threw the bucket aside and said, “Why don’t you use this bucket to smash your own head?”
He spoke loudly.
Then he turned around and grabbed me by the cuff. “Come here, Qiuhe.”
“I’m not going.” I shook him off, Ni Xingzhou, I don’t want to have anything to do with you. You will bring me misfortune. It was like this five years ago, and it is like this now.
But I have to admit that after this incident, Yao Man and his party have converged a lot.
Ni Xingzhou has a distinguished family background. His mother and my father, as well as several other school directors, are very close. Yao Man knows that he can’t afford to be provoked.
But the perpetrators never stop. They just move on.
I know because one day after school, I heard a girl crying in an empty alley outside the school.
I followed the sound and saw a scene I could not imagine. Pan Yuxin, a
classmate, was carried by two girls at the moment. She was crying and struggling, and could not escape. Yao Man, on the
other hand, was riding a brand new bicycle, starting and accelerating, and in the midst of laughter and applause, he hit Pan Yuxin hard and knocked her to the ground.
Over and over again, hitting her in different places, putting her in different positions..
Pan Yuxin cried and crawled on the ground, but could not climb two steps, and was soon set up by the two girls laughing.
In fact, before me, Pan Yuxin has been the target of their bullying.
She was able to get into this school because her mother had been a cleaning lady at the school for many years, and she had to ask for all kinds of connections to send her daughter to what she thought was a “top high school.”. With
such a background, Yao Man and his party were even more unscrupulous, bullying her in all kinds of ways.
I couldn’t turn a blind eye to it. I watched Yao Man’s bicycle rush over again. Without thinking, I ran up and pushed the two girls away and protected Pan Yuxin in my arms.
Yao Man did not stop, and this time, the wheel hit me hard in the leg.
It hurts. It really hurts.
“Autumn River?” Yao Man’s smile stiffened.
I suddenly thought of something and deliberately shouted at the end of the lane,
“Ni Xingzhou, I’m here!”! Someone is hurt. Come here quickly!
Yao Man looked at the end of the lane with a guilty conscience and then looked at me angrily.
“I advise you not to meddle in other people’s affairs. If you dare to speak out, you will be finished!”
Put down a cruel word, she still called the girls to run away. After
they left, I looked at Pan Yu-hsin’s injuries and pulled out my cell phone: “I’m calling the police.”
“No, please, no.” Pan Yuxin suddenly pressed my hand.
“Why?”
“Don’t worry about it, Qiuhe. I beg you, don’t worry about it. Don’t worry about it!”
She pushed me away and got up to see her precious bike.
Qiuhe, if you and Yao Man are tough, you can change schools at the worst. But if I dare not follow Yao Man, my mother will lose her job, and I won’t be able to go to school, or even more than that, they will, and..
Pan Yuxin choked and could not say the following words.
She pushed the bike up, and the dented metal made her heartache:
“In their eyes, it’s junk, but for me, it’s the treasure my mother gave me after months of frugality.”
“I’ll take care of it, but I won’t hurt you.” I went over and helped her out of the nightmarish alley. “You have to believe me.”
The next morning, Ni Xingzhou found the wound on my knee.
“Don’t move.” During the break, he squatted in the empty stairwell to give me medicine.
A week later, the news of the success of the Physics Olympiad came.
I’ll never forget that day. During
this period of time, Yao Man seemed to be deliberately avoiding me, wishing he could stay away from me.
Until that morning, at the end of the second class, when I went to the bathroom, I was dragged into the innermost room by Yao Man and Wu Shengnan.
Locking the door, Yao Man lifted my hat, took it in his hand, and slapped me in the face with his tongue.
“You’ve really got a lot going for you, Qiuhe. The last time you complained to Ni Hsing-chou about Pan Yu-hsin?”
You made the teacher want to find my parents! I’ve given you enough face. Why are you still so cheap? Can’t you live without seducing men? Every time
she said a word, she slapped it, and the hard duck tongue hit my nose bone, leaving a sharp pain and a slight blue and purple.
I blocked it twice with my hands, and was quickly caught by Wu Shengnan with both hands against the wall.
“Qiuhe, believe it or not, I can get you out of this school if I want to!”
Yao Man pressed my bald head and threatened me fiercely, “Even if Ni Xingzhou protects you, it’s useless!”
She was going to continue, and suddenly there was a voice calling my name at the door, and there was more than one person, as if everyone was looking for me.
The Autumn River? What about the Autumn River?
Is Qiuhe in the ladies’ room? The teachers are all looking for her!
“Qiuhe won the provincial prize. She is the first provincial Olympic champion in our school!”.
The door was opened and I was pushed out, with Yao Man behind me swearing viciously.
“The Autumn River is here!” Some girls found me and surrounded me back to the class.
The teacher in charge of the class, Mr. Qian, half happy and half sad, was standing on the platform in a very funny way.
“Autumn River..” He called out to me, but somehow he didn’t organize the second half of the sentence.
“Teacher Qian, I don’t have to go out to stand and listen to your lectures anymore, do I?”
I asked him with a smile, and when I smiled, the new wound on my nose ached.
But I’m still happy.
I need the Olympic medal and I need this scar. This is just one step in my plan. This is my way of solving the problem.
“Qiu He, when your mother is free, we want to invite her to come to school.” Teacher Chien lowered his head and said, “Ask her how to teach.”
“Oh?”? Just asking for advice on educational methods?
“There are also some teachers who say inappropriate things because they are angry, and I hope she will forgive them.” Teacher
Qian gritted his teeth and said it.
“Well, what’s the big deal?” There was a slow sound of footsteps behind him.
Yao Man folded his arms and vented his anger in his nostrils.
“It’s only the’small town problem setters’ who need to compete. How can they still feel superior?”. Who among
us is not waiting for our lives to go abroad. What’s more, this is only the provincial competition, and if you can’t win the national prize, there’s still no place for you to be recommended.
I ignored her.
I still need her.
After school, I can’t wait to call my mom for good news.
Unexpectedly, out of the school gate, she was riding a battery car waiting at the door for the first time. She stood out and stood out
in a crowd of luxury cars.
“Little River.” When she saw my expression, she knew the result.
My mother immediately beamed, “I knew my daughter could do it.”
I haven’t seen my mother smile so happily in a long time.
The next night, my dad called.
I thought it was also a blessing for me to get good grades, but it wasn’t. He said,
“Xiaohe, Dad will go to your school for the school board meeting this Friday. Can you come out and have dinner with Dad tonight?”
“Yes, we’ll also invite a few reporters. There is a child in your school who won the first prize in the Olympic Games, and her father is going to give her a scholarship.”
“It’s all right. We don’t have to learn from her. We don’t have to take the Olympics. Dad will arrange for you to go abroad to study in a university.”
How ridiculous! He didn’t even know that the student from the province of Orsay was me.
I am frustrated and excited, in fact, I have been waiting for this day for a long time.
I didn’t say a single word about my own Olympics. I just asked him, “Dad, what will my mother do after I go abroad?”
“Dad would definitely want her to go with him, if she wanted to.”
“What about Aunt Duoduo?”
「……」 He was silent for a moment. “Auntie Duoduo, you can stay here.”
“What about your children?” Of course
Dad does. You and your mother can accept her. But if you can’t accept it, Aunt Duoduo will stay in the country to raise the child, and it won’t affect the lives of the three of us.
This is his “meticulous” plan, which is really “good” for everyone, especially for himself.
“I see.” I hung up the phone without answering whether he was going to have dinner together for a long time this Friday night. In
12
nights, my mother was woken up by a phone call from the hospital and hurried out again. Before I went to school
the next day, I saw a box of ointment and a note on my desk.
“Little river, rub it on your nose. It’ll be all right soon. Be careful next time.” I felt
warm in my heart and put away the ointment, but it didn’t work.
Sure enough, after the morning reading class, the head teacher told me that I would receive the scholarship at the school board meeting this Friday, and asked me to get ready.
Preparation? Of course
I will be ready. God knows how much I have prepared for this day.
“But you..” The head teacher looked at my head again in embarrassment. It was obvious that he was very dissatisfied with my image.
“Forget it. If you ask about your bald head, just say it was specially cut so that you could study hard without distraction.”
I smiled and did not speak. How could
he know that even this bald head was my early “preparation”.
Soon it will be Friday.
In order to cover the wound on my nose, I tried to cover it up with a band-aid. When
Yao Man saw it, he was obviously upset:
“Do you want to provoke Ni Xingzhou to pity you again?”? It’s been a few days. Haven’t you recovered yet? What are you pretending to be! Bitch only knows how to use these tricks that are not on the table!
I ignored her and sat down without saying a word.
Yao Man is too easy to handle. The more I ignore her, the more she is on the head.
Sure enough, she stood up angrily and lifted my hat again, but I still did not speak. Why
are you pretending to be dead? Qiuhe, if you play dead again, I’ll throw your hat into the bucket after washing the mop again.
I still ignored her, and she was even more angry. Not only did she wet my hat again, but she also put it under her feet and stepped on it.
I just sneered as if I hadn’t seen it at all. When the
bell rang, Yao Man sat down angrily and unwillingly. During
the break, I met Ni Xingzhou in the corridor.
In order to maintain the “good image” of the provincial top student in the eyes of the school board and reporters, I specially changed into a pure white skirt today.
He looked at me in a trance, and when I walked far away, he shouted at my back, “Qiuhe, you are really beautiful today.”
I turned to look at him. “Huh?”
He thought for a moment, then scratched his head and smiled.
“My mother said she wanted to see it at night, too.”. Why don’t you come to my house for dinner after school, and my mother will make you the tofu soup you’ve loved since you were a child? When
I laughed, “mother” was born out of nothing.
This scene was in the eyes of Yao Man.
As a result, when I returned to the classroom after lunch, I had a small pool of red ink on my chair.
I took one look and sat on it with an expressionless face. Smiling behind him, Wu Shengnan, who had succeeded in
the prank, whispered to Yao Man, “What a fool! How did you get one in the exam?”? Did you buy it? “She’s the only one who can afford it?”
Yao asked disdainfully.
Then she proudly looked at my skirt, which had been stained with red ink, and said, “Ni Hsing-chou, do you still think it looks good?”
In the afternoon, the head teacher came to take me to the school board.
Seeing the embarrassing red of my skirt, he pointed to Yao Man with hatred.
It seems that Yao Man is not ignorant of the evil he has done during this period.
The teacher in charge of the class scratched his head, but there was no good plan. Finally, he had to let me put on a wide school uniform coat to cover all this temporarily.
“Come on, don’t keep the school board waiting.”
“Wait a minute, Mr. Qian.” He was like a dog leg, but I didn’t panic at all.
I went to the slop bucket behind the classroom, fished out my hat, wiped it casually with paper, and put it on my head.
“And don’t let my bald head blind the school board.” Just five minutes
to the conference room of the complex building, I walked as long as a century. When was the
last time you saw my dad?
I don’t remember, but anyway, it was before all this. Are you
nervous?
I’m nervous. Are you
excited?
Also excited, but more, it is excited and look forward to.
Finally, the door of the conference room opened.
“This is our school’s first provincial first prize winner in the Physics Olympiad..” Mr.
Qian introduced me proudly, as if my achievements were made by him.
Without waiting for my name to be read out, a member of the school board first asked in a low voice, “Isn’t this the river of Old Qiu’s family?”
I looked up.
I never thought that after a few months of absence, I would look at my father again on such an occasion.
Shock, anger, shame, heartache and disbelief were mixed together at this time, and the pupils were staring at me like earthquakes.
“Little..” Little River? He called me in a trembling voice, as if he could not believe that the bald girl in front of him was the apple of his eye.
“Well done to the school board, to the principal, and to the reporters and teachers.” I took off my wet hat and bowed. “My name is Qiuhe.”
Hearing my name, some guesses were verified.
Several school directors who were familiar with my father on weekdays lowered their heads in silence, but out of the corner of their eyes, they could not help glancing at the blue and red on my father’s face.
It was strange that they did not see in their eyes the admiration and approval of a father who had brought up a provincial prize-winner?
I did not shy away from the strangeness and shock of the crowd, silently took off the wide school uniform that did not fit, tore off the band-aid attached to my nose, and then turned around.
At that moment, the red ink stains on my white skirt and the blue and purple scars on my nose became the most dazzling focus in the room.
Qiuhe, what are you doing! Today is the award ceremony!
The teacher in charge of the class tried to lower his voice and shouted in my ear, “Put on your school uniform. If you have any complaints, go back and talk about it.”
Go back and say? Go back and say what, Teacher Qian? But I deliberately gnashed my teeth with every word, loud and clear, saying that I deserved to be bullied at school because I was a single parent, because my mother’s job was not on the table, because I didn’t know why I had provoked Yao Man, who had a prominent family background and was a rainmaker? They said they could pour the reagents from the chemistry lab into my cup, and they could hit me and other girls with their bicycles.
Qiuhe, don’t talk nonsense! How come the teacher didn’t know about this! The
head teacher interrupted me, then pointed at me and shouted, looking at the headmaster and the school board, trying to find out how much they tolerated the farce.
Don’t know? Do you really not know? I smiled. “What about the school board? I don’t know, do I?”
“Qiuhe, you’re not fit to be here today. Come out with the teacher..” He decided to take me out of this trouble.
“Wait a minute.”
A man finally stopped all this at this moment.
He stood up.
He couldn’t enjoy slapstick like a play, and even though he had neglected me and my mother, I believed that his heart was bleeding at the moment.
My words pierced his chest like a needle, piercing his heart to the bone.
“Little River..” My father looked at me and his lips moved for a long time, but it seemed that he could not make up a sentence.
After a while, he trembled and asked, “… …” You tell your father, is it true what you just said?
The teacher in charge of the class was stunned. He looked at my father and then looked at me. He couldn’t speak for a long time. Other people
present who did not know me and my father well, along with the invited reporters, also looked at him in unison and were stunned unconsciously.
My dad is putting his face on the table.
The class is monitored, and my classmates are witnesses. The cut on my nose was made by Yao Man who locked me in the ladies’ room and fanned me out with the brim of his hat.
My hair was cut off by her, and then it dripped on 502, so I had to shave it off. And my dress, because I sat in her ink-dripping chair. My hat was thrown into the bucket where she washed the mop.
“I go through this almost every day..”
Without waiting for me to finish, the pen in my father’s hand was thrown on the beautiful marble desktop by him, making a loud noise, which made the head teacher behind me excited.
My dad whispered a dirty word and kicked down the chair regardless of the image.
I heard the well-spoken businessman repeating the same dirty words over and over again. He
‘s angry. He’s blaming.
But I don’t know whether to blame me, Yao Man, or the school he invested in, or even myself.
“Dad, I know you want to ask me why I didn’t tell you about what happened.”
I will first break the extremely strange silence on the court.
My throat moved slightly, swallowing to cover the silence at the moment. I
do not know why, I have been waiting for this moment for a long time, and I want to speak freely, but at this time, I only feel bitter and painful in my throat.
A word stem in the heart, hair hot but can not jump out.
“I know that if I tell you, you will protect me.” I sniffed and paused. “But what if I didn’t have a father like you?”
As I hoped, two or three reporters invited by the school board finally raised their cameras.
“What would I do if I were just a female student from a poor single-parent family, without a father who was a school trustee, and I had no one to depend on in this school?”
“Do I deserve to be bullied like this? Do I deserve to be bullied and trampled by them again and again with their privileges?”
I stared at my father and asked earnestly, “Is it true that in this world, or just in this ivory tower, only privileges can punish privileges?”
I faced the camera in the reporter’s hand and tried to let them take a clear picture of me, a one-in-a-million winner of the Olympic Games and a witness of bullying on campus, of the injuries I had suffered and the firmness of my face at the moment.
“There must be more than one person in this school who has the same experience as me. They should also be seen and protected.”
“So I want to use my own way to let the president, the school board, and even the journalists outside the school see and record what happened to me and what happened to them.”
“That is the meaning and purpose of my coming here today.” Then I bowed as I had
come in.
Then I put on my hat, put on my school uniform, crumpled the Band-Aid into a small ball, put it in my palm, and turned to leave the room.
Everyone forgets that I’m here to receive an award.
But, in my heart, I have given myself the award. After school in the
evening, my father’s Porsche was parked in a very conspicuous place at the school gate.
I deliberately ignored it and walked quickly with the brim of my hat down.
He didn’t get out of the car to stop me, or even call me, but slowed down awkwardly and followed me. The cars
around him honked their horns wildly, but he turned a deaf ear, sometimes fast and sometimes slow, and I couldn’t get rid of them.
Until the street at the entrance of the community, I stopped and skillfully bought dinner at the steamed bun shop.
My father quickly parked the car on the side of the road and ran over quickly.
“I’ll do it. Let me pay.” He blocked me behind him and took the initiative to scan code. “Boss, how much is it?”
“Two tofu buns, three yuan.”
He was stunned and took a long breath with his nose for a long time. There seems to be no three yuan in
his world.
“Come, Little River, here.” He took the steamed stuffed bun from the boss and handed it to me. After a long pause, he asked, “You don’t usually eat this at night, do you?”
“Or what?” I rolled my eyes at him, and from the bottom of my heart, I rolled my eyes at his ignorance, and then I couldn’t wait to open the plastic bag and stuff the steamed buns into my mouth.
“Xiaohe, Dad will take you to dinner. What do you want to eat?”
Fawn on him and make him embarrassed.
This middle-aged man, who had a successful career, now smiled at me with an obsequious and sincere
smile: “Dad knows a very expensive banquet hall, and usually your headmaster is reluctant to go, okay?”? Or do you want to eat some Wagyu beef that young people like? Truffles? Sashimi..
Sure enough, I didn’t see it. I turned it over and over. It was all these things. It’s no different
from Yao Man.
“Please cook for me.” In
my impression, he hasn’t cooked for ten years since he got rich and had his own company.
Even his craft is still a delicacy in my remaining childhood memory.
But his awkward silence made me understand.
“Just kidding.” I handed over the steaming tofu bun in my hand and interrupted him. “Here, give you one. We’re both full. Don’t follow me.”
“Why don’t Dad buy you some skirts? What brand do you like?”
He signed up for several luxury brands, and presumably he and Aunt Duoduo were frequent customers there, but they didn’t interest me at all.
“No, I don’t like to buy clothes.” I pretended to smile and ran home quickly. It’s impossible
not to follow nature.
My father sent me all the way home, opened the door, and for the first time, my mother was at home.
“Why do you have time to meet the river today? Thank you for your hard work.”
Seeing the man, she was briefly stunned, lowered her head, and went to close the door politely and coldly, without any intention of leaving him.
“Wait.” My dad held the door open and said, “Come out and have a chat.”
My father winked to show that it was something related to me, and my mother went out reluctantly.
I don’t know what they said at the door, but when my mother came back, there were obviously dried tears on her face.
She sniffed, hummed a song in a trembling voice as if nothing had happened, turned back to her room, and closed the door.
But through the wall, I also clearly heard the sob of her biting the pillow, tearing her heart and lungs, painful and self-reproach. In the middle of the night
, my mother, who was never good at expressing her feelings, crept into my room.
In my nap, I felt the blue and purple on my nose being touched gently, and repeated in a low voice over and over again:
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry..”
On Monday morning, I went to school.
Just as I was about to sit down, Yao Man pulled my chair away with his feet. As a matter of course,
she held out her hand and said, “Here, copy the math homework for me.” This is
not the first time this has happened, and even once, she copied the answer exactly the same.
In order not to be suspected by the teacher, she simply tore up my homework and let me stand at the door of the class for a lesson.
On another occasion, I escaped because I was late, so the person whose homework was torn became Wei Yuxin.
But, now, I’m not going to do what she wants anymore. The things that
should be seen by the school board and reporters have been seen at a glance. For me, Yao Man has no value.
She is just a hateful and vicious perpetrator, a wicked person who should be punished and retaliated.
“No.” I said without looking up. What did
you say?! Are you out of your mind, Qiuhe?
Obviously did not expect to have this, Yao Man opened his eyes and angrily wanted to repeat the same trick, to grab my hat, hit my head.
It’s just that as soon as she raised her hand, I grabbed her wrist. You
are crazy. Yao Man, you’ve been crazy for so long, you’ve had enough. I stared at her, indifferent and brave.
“Autumn River!”! You, Qiuhe, I want you to get out of here!
She is like a trapped animal, fierce but powerless.
In the face of me, who was not threatened at the moment and kept sneering and powerless, she was extremely embarrassed. When he
wanted to continue the attack, the head teacher came in. Over the course of
a short weekend, Mr. Chien seemed like a different person. He took one look at the farce in front of him, then silently stepped up to the platform and opened his book: “The class representative collects the homework.”
Teacher! Teacher Qian! Qiuhe, she beats people! As if clutching at a life-saving straw, Yao Man rushed to the head teacher regardless of discipline, shaking his slightly red arm, “Teacher Qian, look, Qiuhe, she..”
“Take your textbook, go to the door and stand in class. Don’t disturb the discipline.” The head teacher spoke coldly.
Yao Man proudly turned around and rolled his eyes at me: “Did you hear that? Qiuhe, the teacher told you..”
“Yao Man, I say you go out.” The head teacher still did not lift his head. The
little princess couldn’t believe her ears at all: “Teacher Qian..”
Hurry up, don’t waste everyone’s time. You’ve been bullying Qiuhe for more than a day or two, and the teachers and students have all seen it. You’ve been at the door of the class all day today, so you can reflect on it.
“I won’t go. If anyone dares to let me stand outside, I’ll tell my mother!” With that, Yao Man wiped his tears and ran out.
The little princess never came back.
But the next day, I heard that Yao Man’s parents came to school.
But no longer the arrogance of the past, but good words to ask the headmaster not to persuade Yao Man.
The headmaster took out the clips from the surveillance and showed them to Yao Man’s parents.
Those pictures were shocking. She slapped me on the head and kicked Wei Yuxin in the heart.
In the middle of it, Yao Man’s father suddenly stood up.
He mercilessly a heartwarming foot, caught off guard, will be timid sitting Yao Man kicked down to the ground. Is
that all right? Ask that classmate Wei if he can forgive her.
Her father took out a cigarette and puffed it into his mouth.
He clearly doesn’t care about any of his victims, not even his daughter.
He just wants to solve the problem quickly in order to defend his own interests
: Principal, we are trying to find a way to apply for a foreign offer for Yao Man. The fact that she is going abroad is very important to our family, so she must not have any problems during this period.
Yes, headmaster, Manman has done something wrong. We will educate her well. You see, we’ve donated a lot of money before. Why don’t you bend the rules? Yao Man’s mother also helped.
Yao Man collapsed on the ground, tears rolling down like a string out of control. Surprised and silly,
she looked at the familiar and strange parents in front of her, and could not say a word except in silent tears.
I will know all this, which is repeated by the head teacher.
“Can you still accept Yao Man in this school?” He asked me that.
“I’m just a student here. I’m not in any position to decide whether other people stay or go.”
To get rid of Yao Man as my father? What’s the difference between
me and Yao Man?
I shook my head. There was only one thing I needed:
“I want her to apologize, and I hope it won’t happen again at this school.”
So Yao Man stayed.
But under the operation of the school, she was transferred to another class whose teachers were not so excellent. When she apologized
to me and Wei Yuxin, Yao Man’s big eyes were full of unwillingness and resentment. It could be seen that she wished she could kill me.
Perpetrators often lack empathy and an objective perspective.
She believed from the bottom of her heart that she had done nothing wrong and that it was all us, the victims, who were maiming her.
After apologizing, she was caught off guard and stopped Wei Yuxin.
“There are connections in Qiuhe’s family, but what are you?”? Wei Yuxin, so what if you apologize? I can kill you any time I want.
Wei Yuxin was scared out of a spirit. After
school, I met Ni Xingzhou at the corner of the stairs.
I turned a blind eye, and he hurried to follow.
“What for?” I am as indifferent as ever.
“Uncle Cho said you wouldn’t let him pick you up, so he assigned the job to me.” Ni Xingzhou jumped in front of me. I’ll take you to and from school
later. Qiuhe, what happened before, I promise you, will never happen again.
I ignored him and pushed him to continue downstairs, but Ni Xingzhou followed closely.
Finally, tired of being chased by him, I said coldly, “Whatever you want.”
In just two words, Ni Hsing-chou seemed to have got some golden words. He grinned happily and wished he could fly
in the same place: Really? Follow me? That’s great. Qiuhe promised me that we would go to and from school together every day!
What’s so funny? Is
the phrase “it’s up to you” really worth enjoying?
On the way, Ni Xingzhou asked me a few questions about physics. After I answered them one by one, I was a little puzzled
: “Aren’t you going abroad soon?”? What’s the use of learning all this?
“Where are you going, Qiuhe?” He didn’t answer the question.
“I don’t know. I want to go to Beijing.”
“Then I’ll go to Beijing, too.”
“What?”
I said, I’m not going abroad, I’m going to Beijing. Qiuhe, I may not just want to protect you now.
He raised the young man’s head and vowed. In the afterglow of the
setting sun, his backlit side face is full of firmness:
“If I can, I really want to protect you all the time.”. Accompany you to finish college, accompany you to enter the society, accompany you through the happiness and hardship of life. Even though I know that you are actually very powerful, you always have your own ideas and unique ways of dealing with problems. But..
The teenager stopped. The burning clouds on the
horizon were burning red, revealing a wisp of glow, which enveloped us both.
I looked at him unconsciously. Ni Xingzhou looked at the horizon. Finally, he lowered his head and rubbed my fluffy head with one hand: “I’m really..” You..
A roar of whistles carried away some of his words.
“What did you say?”
Ni Hsing-chou’s face turned red. After a while, he pointed and played:
“I said, the burning cloud is very beautiful. It burns my heart beside you.”
“What? I don’t understand.” I lowered my head and took a hurried step.
Even if I hang down the face, at the moment also red into a cloud of fire.
Even I know that what I just swallowed was not such a long sentence. It’s
short, it’s clear, it’s powerful. In the days after
18
, I worked hard to prepare for the national finals of the physics competition.
Ni Xingzhou’s bicycle is so steady that every day on the way to and from school, I can always review a few more questions in the back seat of his car.
My mother temporarily retired to the second line, and every night when she came back, she prepared a table of delicious food to greet me. When
I brushed the questions, she sat beside me reading, looking at my face in a trance for a while, and carefully driving away mosquitoes and flies for me for a while.
My father also cares a lot more about me. In addition to material things, he will take time out of his busy schedule every week to deal with school affairs as a school trustee.
Said to deal with business, but more, just drive an hour to school, and then stand outside the class, quietly accompany me for five minutes of class, and then rush back to the company.
It’s not that they don’t love me.
Just expressing love itself is a matter of ability and energy.
And just a week before I went to Beijing for training to meet the national finals, one day during the break, Wei Yuxin suddenly came to me and asked me to go down to the rooftop at noon and talk to me about something very important.
I came as promised.
But the person waiting on the stairs is not Wei Yuxin.
It’s Yao Man.
I turned to run, and as expected, I was stopped by Wu Shengnan, who was waiting behind me.
“What do you want?”
Yao Man laughed like crazy, approaching me bit by bit, and soon blocked me against the wall.
Qiuhe, there is no surveillance here. If I push you down from here and break an arm or a leg, how can you compete in the national finals?
I asked in a cold voice, “Yao Man, you put a chemical reagent in my cup before I didn’t feel sorry for you. You already intentionally hurt me. Do you know that?”
“I know, so what?”
I really didn’t expect that Wei Yu-hsin would listen to you and lie to me to come here? Don’t you know how to kick and slap people? I never care about such a trick. All you do is scare people. Can you really do anything to her?
“Humph, don’t look down upon the Qiuhe River!” Yao Man was easily angered by me. She wanted to prove herself, so she opened a video from her mobile phone. The scantily clad girl
inside huddled pitifully by the trash can, crying into tears, while someone’s hand was still pumping her face and several feet were kicking her stomach.
Yao Man was elated: “See, we have this in our hands. How could Wei Yuxin not listen to me?”
I gnashed my teeth and trembled, not with fear, but with anger.
My fingernails were embedded in my flesh, and the clear pain helped me regain my sanity.
You are breaking the law. Yao Man, you were held back for a year. You should be 18 years old now, and you will bear criminal responsibility.
“Don’t scare me with that!” She jumped up. “Wu Sheng-nan, what are you waiting for? Push her! Break her leg, break her brain!”
But Wu Shengnan was really stunned.
She looked at the bottom of the stairs, then at me, and finally at Yao Man.
She pointed downstairs. “There’s someone down there..”
What kind of people are not people? Cut the crap and push her!
Wu Sheng-nan lowered his voice, but he was so anxious that he jumped to his feet
: “What are you pushing?”? I mean, the teaching director, Mr. Qian, and Ni Xingzhou, they are all listening downstairs! They heard what you just said!
Yao Man’s eyes widened.
While she was unprepared, I snatched the mobile phone from her hand and threw it to Ni Xingzhou downstairs. There was evidence
in it, evidence of everything she had done to Wei Yuxin.
I took out a recording pen from my pocket and said
, Yao Man, what you did to Wei Yuxin is a crime, and what you did to me is also a crime. Downstairs is the witness, here is the physical evidence. It is time for you to pay for the evil you have done. Holding the stairs,
she slumped limply on the ground, covering her face and shaking her head again and again, saying,
“I’m right..” I’m not wrong, you deserve to be beaten, I see you are not happy to bully you how. It’s you who want to hurt me, Qiuhe, it’s you who want to hurt me.
Perpetrators are still blaming the whole world except themselves.
In fact, when Wei Yu-hsin came to me during the break, she told me, “Don’t go.”.
Only then did I know that what they had done to Wei Yuxin was far worse than I had imagined.
They stripped Wei Yuxin of her clothes, forced her into strange poses, beat her, bullied her, and then took photos and videos. They even found “male protagonists” for these “works” and forced Wei Yuxin to have disgusting interactions with strange men. When I
heard all this, I was filled with anger, and I only felt heartache and pity for the girl in front of me:
“Aren’t you afraid that they really put those videos..”
“I’m not afraid, Qiuhe!” She grabbed my hand and looked at me very firmly. “I just want to understand that I can’t let them stop and pay the price!”! Qiuhe, I am useless, but I really want to protect you.
So, you protect me, and I’ll make them pay.
Yao Man’s parents did not get Wei Yuxin’s understanding in exchange for threats and inducements.
Finally, Yao Man’s mother deliberately shouted at Wei Yuxin at the door of the class in front of the whole class:
“Little girls nowadays are really shameless. At such a young age, it doesn’t matter if someone strips them of their clothes and shoots a video!”! Why do you want us to spread the word to more people? Is it cheap? Holding Wei Yu-hsin behind me,
I stood up and retorted, “It’s the person who shot the video who is shameless, the accomplice who defends the abuser who is shameless, the parents who don’t educate their children properly who are shameless, and it’s never the victim who is shameless.”
You’re a bitch, too, you little brat.. Oh, who is it? What is it? Before she had finished
speaking, her head was suddenly pressed against the wall. The person who
did it was my old father, who came to the school as usual to “take care of business.”.
He was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, but he was quick, accurate and ruthless:
“I am the father of the girl you abused. I never hit a woman, but if you dare to say one more word about my daughter, you try.”
At this point, the matter has finally come to an end.
Wei Yuxin formally sued Yao Man under the guardianship of his family. My
previous performance on the school board, coupled with the intensification of Yao Man, has made the school pay attention to this issue. Reporters present on the
same day soon published relevant articles, although the specific school and student information was hidden, it still caused a lot of attention and discussion. Soon after
this farce, it was time for me to go to Beijing to join the training team.
My dad was supposed to take me to the airport, but that morning, I packed my bags and waited and waited, but I couldn’t wait for him. There were several phone calls, but no one answered. Seeing that he would miss the plane if he didn
‘t leave, my father finally called on his own initiative: “Little River, something has happened to your aunt Duoduo.”
At the other end, he was panting, panicked and anxious
: She fell down this morning and bled a lot. I don’t know if the baby can be saved. Dad is in the hospital and has just sent her to the operating room. I’ve arranged for someone to be on the way to pick you up. I have
a stem in my heart, and I can’t say what the taste is.
“It’s all right. It’s too late. I’ll go to the airport myself.” Easy to
say, but this point is the most congested time on the road, whether it is an online taxi or a roadside taxi, it is impossible to call at this moment.
I went downstairs in despair, but I didn’t want to see a car coming towards me and stopping in front of me. The man who got off the
bus was Ni Xingzhou.
“Get in the car, Qiuhe. Let’s go to the airport.” He helped me put my luggage in reserve.
On the way, we were silent for a long time. I deliberately looked out of the window and asked in a low voice, “How do you know?”
In the morning, my mother got a call from her cousin Duoduo and hurried to the hospital. I thought maybe your father wouldn’t be able to see you off.
He looked out the window on the other side. “Isn’t that what knights are for?”? Fall from the sky in the princess’s hour of need.
I didn’t answer, and I was farther away from him.
Duoduo, his cousin Duoduo, my aunt Duoduo, she is our wall for a long time. Can’t
escape, can’t cross. Ni Xingzhou and
I were childhood sweethearts.
He is a firefly.
And I am a mosquito, because of the lack of love and companionship, so I am used to walking towards the light.
He was a man who made me laugh at the sight of him.
Had it not been for many years ago, at Ni Xingzhou’s twelfth birthday party, Ni Xingzhou introduced his cousin, Ni Duoduo, to my father in a milky voice.
What can I say?
It was my father who looked at Ni Duoduo’s eyes at that time. Now that I think about it, it’s really like a mosquito seeing a lamp.
He just wanted to jump on it violently and bump into it, even if it was scorched skin and melted bones, he would not hesitate to enjoy it and live to death.
So, soon, my father put it into action, and Ni Duoduo returned the favor.
Finally, my parents divorced because of this.
After a period of time, I deliberately did not see my father, until one day, I took the initiative to ask him to take me to have dinner with Ni Duoduo’s family. At the
dinner table, I rushed to the “culprit” Ni Xingzhou and punched him in the head, knocking him to the ground.
In my 12-year-old mind, all this was caused by Ni Xingzhou.
It was he who sent the Pandora’s box of Ni Duoduo to my father. My father could not resist the temptation, so he opened the box and finally brought disaster, destruction and separation. When I
hit him, I just hit a man who ruined my life. Seeing this,
my father made a gesture to hit me, too.
Ni Xingzhou, however, did not care about the pain at this time. He got up and stopped him, shouting,
“Run to the river!”! River, I give you stop, I will protect you! No one can bully you, no one can beat you, not even your father!
In Ni Xingzhou’s eyes, this is a promise.
And the promise of twelve years old, he remembers so far.
The dead silence continued until the car was parked outside the airport.
Until Ni Xingzhou and I went to get the suitcase, our hands touched each other and bounced off at the same time like an electric shock.
“I’ll do it.” He grabbed it and pushed the suitcase behind me.
“Ni Xingzhou.” It wasn’t until I went through the security check that I finally said, “When I come back with a good grade, what can you do to congratulate me?”
“What do you want?” He hastened to add, “Anything you say I can give you.”
Then I want.. Hey, wait till you get back..
I laughed, but in fact, at that moment, I had already thought about it.
I want us to get together in Beijing.
My training in Beijing went well. The night before the
national finals, I stared at my phone, hoping that the phone from my dad or my mom would ring.
But wait and wait, only wait for a message from Ni Xingzhou.
“Xiaohe, I’ve ordered you a milk tea takeout. Go downstairs and get it.”
I put on my pajamas and hung out.
Looked for a circle, did not see the yellow and blue riders, but found a pair of travel-stained middle-aged men and women.
My mother holds my bear doll in her arms, which is the only companion I can hold when my mother is not at home at night for many years in the past.
“River, tonight, mother and it, sleep with you, we all have a good dream, okay?”
My dad has been cooking with his own hands for ten years.
“I don’t know whether it tastes good or not, but I don’t mind my father’s cooking.”
I laughed, laughing, but I do not know when, already in tears.
Come on, Xiaohe, I’ll heat up your father’s dishes for you. Don’t say whether it tastes good or not. I don’t even know if I can eat it.
“Little River, Dad told you that grades don’t matter, and it doesn’t matter where you go to school. Dad just wants you to get what he wants, and he respects all your choices.”
They say a word to each other.
Noisy, but no moment, can be happier than this time. Will I get the national gold medal
tomorrow? Will
I get a brilliant result again, win glory for the school, and become a miracle scholar on the school board? Can
my mother always have time to accompany me? When
my father goes back, he will still be entangled with Ni Duoduo, right? I don’t know any of
this. The
road ahead is long.
However, if we move forward seriously, there will always be bright stars.
