Chapter 113 At the Center of Public Opinion
Chapter 113 At the Center of Public Opinion
There is no invisible weapon to kill people in the world than words. There are always people who stand on the moral high ground to criticize others, teach them how to behave, and completely forget how much they are, whether they are really qualified to judge them.Under the leadership of this kind of person, a group of mobs have emerged. Some people may not know whether this matter is right or wrong, but they are in the middle of this team, handing over their ideas and rights, and echoing what others say.Using verbal violence to condense a murderous sword, and in the end it really hurt someone, but he seemed innocent, saying "I just said a word, who knows that it will hurt others?" to shirk responsibility.But verbal violence builds up, and your last sentence may be the straw that breaks the camel's back, the last blow that pushes someone off the cliff.
People's words are scary, Xu Muyang finally realized the meaning of these words.Shen Gu is completely the center of public opinion now, and all the topics surrounding him are homosexuality. He has also heard the scandal with He Liming, and what's more, he fabricated all kinds of unrealistic rumors, just to cover Shen Gu again. a hat.
If Shen Gu hasn't come to school yet, the rumors are just rumors, let's talk about it to relieve boredom.However, the protagonist of the rumors really appeared in front of them, like adding fuel to a raging fire, the rumors became more and more intense, passed on one after another, twisted continuously, and finally became the gossip that people are willing to hear.
Shen Gu and He Liming like each other, the two often go together, and secretly have sex in the empty classrooms or toilets of the school, some people have witnessed this with their own eyes.In the end, He Liming's parents found out about this and took him back by force. Shen Gu stayed at home for a long time because he was too sad, so he didn't come to class, and only came these few days.
This is the most widely circulated rumor. No one cares whether it is true or not, but only cares about how much freshness and fun it can bring them.
In the past few days, Shen Gu's life has undergone earth-shaking changes. The former liberal arts No. 1 was severely pushed down and turned into a disgusting perverted homosexual, which became the talk of all the students after dinner.What Shen Gu does is always wrong. Someone will spit on him when he goes to the bathroom, or the boys will rush away, afraid of what will be done to them. When eating in the cafeteria, no one around them is willing to sit with them, as if Homosexuality is a contagious disease. Even Shen's excessively long hair will be accused of being neither male nor female, which is a symbol of homosexuality, but he just didn't cut his hair a while ago, and no one remembers that he ever had it inch.
Not only that, Shen Gu was pointed out on the way to dinner, and there were people from other classes sitting in the classroom to see what homosexuality looks like.It's just that their sexual orientation is different. We are all human. It seems that liking men is a big deal. Homosexuals are different from ordinary people, so they should be insulted by others.
Apart from the gloomy situation in the classroom, the atmosphere in the dormitory has dropped to freezing point.Xu Muyang thought that if you were classmates and roommates for two years, even if your roommates were gay, you wouldn't be too harsh.But what he thought was just that he thought that others would not be as he thought.
The one with the biggest change in attitude was He Liu, that laughing and fussy boy who changed his face the moment he saw Shen Gu.He stopped fighting with Shi Leqin, but sat silently on his bed, refusing to communicate with Shen Gu, and also refused to have physical contact with him.
Liang Jingjing and Shi Leqin were fine, they could smile at Shen Gu, but their smiles were forced, they couldn't take the initiative to strike up a conversation, they asked each sentence in reply, or used "um" and "oh" instead, their words and deeds showed resistance, and they didn't tear their faces.
Jiang Hui knew that Shen Gu was gay. He was very brave. When Shen Gu became the target of public criticism, he still talked to him normally, and he didn't avoid Shen Gu because others avoided him.He is open and honest.With a weak appearance, there is a tough heart.
Shen Gu is now in a very difficult situation, at the center of verbal violence. After getting out of the pain of losing his father and mother, he was involved in the center of public opinion. The moment he showed a little sunshine, he was ruthlessly cut off like a sprout. .He returned to that time of decadence, taciturn, empty and numb.
Xu Muyang was very worried, and would drag him to the playground for a walk after evening self-study.Night is a good camouflage, blurring the vision, no one can see who is on the playground, and no one will pay attention.
He dragged him round and round the playground.It's almost April, and the night is still a bit cold, with the sound of insects singing one after another, and the breath is filled with cool air. Taking a deep breath seems to be able to expel all the stale air from the lungs, and the heart is not so heavy.
"Ah Gu." Xu Muyang likes to call him that in private, "Don't take those words to heart, let's not listen to what they say, just go in one ear and out the other, okay?"
Shen Gu lowered his head, his face hidden in the shadows.He held Xu Muyang's hand tightly, as if holding hope, his voice was low and dejected, "Baobao, I'm so sad."
Xu Muyang's heart tightened, he pulled him to the shadow, and gave him a hug, "Don't be sad, study hard, don't think about what those people said, you are fine, it's their fault, we'll go after the college entrance examination University, stay away from these people."
"Bao Bao." Shen Gu buried his face on his shoulder, "You won't leave me, right?"
"No." Xu Muyang said in a deep voice: "No, Xu Muyang will not leave Shen Gu, and will go to university with Shen Gu."
Shen Gu couldn't help holding his hand tighter.The bewildered heart seemed to have found a foothold, which made him braver, "Okay."
The lights in the teaching building were all extinguished, and the two of them had to go back to the dormitory. Although it was not a comfortable place, at least there were no rumors about Shen's death.
Before entering the door, someone was talking in the dormitory, it seemed to be He Liu and Liang Jingjing, they were discussing the test papers they passed, did Shi Leqin interject a few words.Xu Muyang pushed open the door, the voice inside stopped abruptly, He Liu put away the smile on his face, and climbed onto the bed with a cold face, Liang Jingjing and Shi Leqin laughed a few times, and lowered their heads to do their own things, as if the excitement just now was hallucinations.
"Are you back?" Jiang Hui hadn't gone to bed yet, holding a bowl of washed strawberries in his hand, with a shy smile on his face, "Do you want to eat strawberries? They're very sweet."
Jiang Hui is the only warmth in this dormitory, he is like a cluster of small flames, even though he is weak, he is still releasing his heat continuously.
Xu Muyang pushed Shen Gu, "Go and taste it."
Shen Gu hesitated for a moment, picked up a strawberry and put it in his mouth to face Jiang Hui with a gentle smile.
"Sweet?"
He pursed his lips and showed his first smile these days, "Thank you, it's very sweet."
