Chapter Twenty-Three: People Are Together
There was a commotion in the crowd, and I looked back and forth, hoping to get some inside information I didn't know. A boy with glasses walked out and said, "Actually, I don't care if you step on a few boats, what I care about is that people like you ruin the reputation of our school." In recent years, the society has been discussing the issue of students' moral and intellectual education, because you are alone, all students in our school have been labeled as having low moral education. "
I was stunned, I didn't expect them to give me such a big hat, and asked, "Is there any other reason?" "
Another girl came out, looking more immature, she should be a freshman elementary school girl, with a ponytail that looked full of energy. She paused and said, "I'll call you senior." I'm just not used to your behavior of stepping on two boats, in my cognition, feelings should be single-minded, I feel worthless for the two senior sisters who were deceived by you, your behavior makes me feel particularly disgusting. With that, she gave me a disgusted look and retreated into the crowd.
I was stunned for a moment, I didn't expect to have such a primary school girl with a strong sense of justice, so I couldn't help laughing out loud and asked, "Is there anything else?" "
"Hurry up, we'll see if a scumbag like you can come up with a reason. "
"That's it, less nonsense, say it quickly. "
......
With all sorts of urging voices coming and going, I let out a sigh of relief and asked them, "You... Why do you think what is said on the forum is true? Isn't there a single doubt about what is said on the forum?"
"If you haven't done it, why are so many people spraying you?" a voice came from the crowd, and I looked for the source of the sound, but I couldn't find the person who spoke, maybe because it was too dark, or maybe he didn't want me to see him at all.
"Yes, why do so many people say that you haven't done it?"
"That's right, don't do bad things and don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door, since you are not what you say on the Internet, why worry about people talking about you. "
......
There were many echoing voices from the crowd, and I listened quietly, but I felt a sour feeling in my heart, the reason was so simple, just because there were many people who said it, and then they felt that it should be so, it was really full of irony.
"If there are many people who say it, it must be true? Didn't you think about the truth of the comments under the post? Didn't you think about the impact of your bad words on us? Aren't there enough tragic examples of online violence?"
"Wuxiu, let's go, don't say it. Li Yue kept pulling me, her eyes were already a little moist, I smiled at her, gently pushed her aside, and looked at the group with wide eyes, wanting to see the expression of remorse on their faces, even a little bit.
The elementary school girl at the beginning stood up again, she looked around, and seeing that no one spoke again, Xiu Mei frowned slightly, and asked, "Senior, how do you prove that what is said on the Internet is false?"
Hearing her ask this, I was a little confused for a while, but I was also sure that these people were completely hearsay in this matter, and they didn't know the truth at all. I took a step sideways, pushed Li Yue behind me forward, and asked the woman with heavy makeup, "What did she quarrel with you about just now, can you please answer?"
Li Yue may feel a little embarrassed to stand in front of so many people, and unconsciously lowered her head, I gently patted her on the shoulder, signaling her to face these people directly. The woman with heavy makeup was stunned for a moment, then showed a sneering face and said: "You two snakes and rats are in a nest, you must both excuse each other, you have the ability to call that girl over to confront you." "
"Yes, that's right. "
"You have the ability to call another girl over and confront her. "
......
There was another sound of coaxing behind me, and I frowned and looked around, only faintly seeing a few figures. At this time, it was unrealistic to call Nie Xinyan over, looking at the woman with heavy makeup in front of me, I fell into deep thought. She obviously knew what I wanted her to say, but threw the question back to me. I fell into hesitation for a while, I thought that having one Li Yue was enough, but I didn't expect it to become like this now.
I smiled bitterly and said, "Many of you should have read those two posts, but there is something I did wrong. It was when the first post was sent out, and it was applauded at the time, so it should be said that it was vanity. Me and the girl, yes, that's her. "
As I spoke, I pointed to Li Yue behind me, "We are very good friends, but not lovers." We embrace just because we sing and sing until we get emotionally out of control, and we don't include any other emotions. The landlord who posted the first post kept saying that he was going to blow up our kissing photos, did you see that? No, definitely not, because it was just a gimmick he made up to gain attention. If I really had any intimate relationship with her, would she still go out of her way to excuse me when she saw a picture of me and another girl? If it were you, would you? If a normal person were a lover, he would definitely wish that scumbag was unlucky. I think this should be very logical. "
After some rhetoric, I kept panting, and I didn't expect that I could say so much at once when I was emotional, and it seemed that I was really under a lot of psychological pressure. This venting made me feel a lot more relaxed. After I finished speaking, there was a long silence, no one asked questions, and no one started to heckle again.
I don't expect all of them to listen to what I've just said, as long as a few of them can calm down and think. After all, the naked reality is here, and smart people can tell at a glance that what I am saying is true or false.
I looked at them with hope. I hope someone can stand up and say a few words, even if it's to refute me, don't let me sing a one-man show here alone, if they don't react today, even if I ask Li Yue to help me send a clarification video, it's useless.
Looking at their indifferent expressions, my heart was almost hopeless, judging from their current reactions, they are not a group of thoughtless people, they can think, and they have their own judgment, but I can't understand why no one responds to me.
Li Yue kept pulling me, her eyes were full of crystals, and Lin Yao couldn't bear to look at me directly, her face was full of pain.
I laughed, bitterly and desperately, I thought too simply, even if they knew they were wrong about me, how could they stand up on such an occasion?
Just as I was about to turn around and leave, a voice came out, "Senior, wait a minute!" I turned around in surprise, and the ponytail elementary school girl from before walked out, her eyes were a little complicated, she looked at Li Yue, then at me, and said with a slight bow: "I believe your words, online violence is indeed terrible, and I apologize to you for my previous irrationality." I'm sorry, senior. "
Her sincerity caught me off guard, and then I was ecstatic, and as long as someone believed in me, no matter who it was, even if it was just one person, that would be enough.
I looked at her gratefully and asked, "Do you really want to believe me, believe that what I just said is true?" I was afraid that she just said casually, looking at her quietly, hoping that she would answer again.
Her eyes were blazing, and on this dark night, there was a wise light, and I looked directly at her lips, and I was highly focused, and I longed to see her red lips lightly open, and I wanted to hear her say those four words, "I believe in you."
The bright moonlight sprinkled on the land like white jade, and we all waited, waiting for the girl's answer.
She opened her mouth slightly, but she didn't make a sound, and she looked up at the moon in the sky again, and smiled softly, her smile was so beautiful, full of energy, symbolizing youth, and everything tonight was eclipsed in front of her.
"I... Trust you. She paused, and finally said those four words, and I felt a little moist on my face, was it raining? No, it was coming out of my eyes.
"Thank you, thank you for believing in me. I looked at her with a smile, but my voice was a little choked.
She didn't look at me again, but turned to face the onlookers, slowly bent down, and said, "I ask everyone, apologize to them, because this time it was indeed our mistake." "
I was stunned, Li Yue was also stunned, Lin Yao covered her mouth in surprise, and everyone present was stunned, except for the ponytail junior sister. I didn't expect her to say that, and probably none of the people present expected her to behave like this all of a sudden.
I wanted to go up and stop her, because it would probably backfire, and in my eyes, as long as one person believed it, it would be a great success. There's no need for this, it's not necessary at all, it's already a bit forced, that's not my original intention.
I am afraid that these people will speak ill of each other, and then one more person will be hurt, and all the explanations that have been made before will be lost, and the consequences will only be worse than they are now.
I looked at her worriedly, and the onlookers looked at her, and everyone was looking at her, and maybe some people didn't understand why she was like this, because she was already putting herself in the camp with me.
I can't imagine how a girl can endure the abuse and vilification of the mob on the Internet......
I opened my mouth slightly and whispered, "No need for this, as long as someone believes me, even if you are the only one who believes me, this is enough, you have proven to me the existence of reason." It's already okay, you can go quickly. "
