87. Angels and demons
As with the previous meetings, Heng's father chose an unfamiliar bar again. However, the slight difference is that this time, Ah Heng and Du Yunfei were taken into the box in the depths of the bar.
The box was dimly lit, with a large TV embedded in the wall, the stench of leather chairs mixed with the musty smell of poor ventilation, and posters on the walls that made people blush and heartbeat.
A few snacks were placed on the low coffee table, and Ah Heng ate and drank without taboo, and watched TV; Du Yunfei didn't eat at all.
Ah Heng's father went out to answer a phone call and did not come back for several minutes. After a while, the door of the box was suddenly pushed open, and four men walked in.
โโฆโฆ Oh, my God. โ
Guessing what was going to happen next, Su He shuddered. But the words have already come to this point, and it's too late to pretend that nothing has happened.
As smart as him, he didn't know what to say for a while, so he could only hold Du Yunfei's arm tightly.
Du Yunfei's voice became obviously heavy: "Ah Heng's father is obsessed with drinks and snacks. Medicine, those men were also called by him...... Only then did Heng realize that his father was trying to harm us. After some struggle, he desperately grabbed a few people and told me to run first. Although I managed to break free and escape from the box, as soon as I ran into the hall, I bumped into Ah Heng's father. โ
โโฆโฆ He's looking out for the wind?! โ
"Yes. Many people in the bar were staring at us, and he suddenly claimed to be my father and called out my name to arrest me back in the box. Fortunately, someone helped me at this time, and you know this person later. โ
โโฆโฆ Could it be Brother Cheng? โ
At that time, Lao Cheng and a few friends were on the booth on the side, and they heard the movement and came over to join in the fun. He was the one who called the police for me. Hearing that the police were arriving soon, Ah Heng's father immediately wanted to escape. Lao Cheng and a few friends immediately rushed up and grabbed him. โ
Fortunately in the misfortune, thanks to Lao Cheng's help, Ah Heng in the box was finally rescued. The police took Ah Heng's father and the four men back to the police station, while the two teenagers were also taken to assist in the investigation.
The paper couldn't hold the fire, and the people of the Du family and Aunt Ling also arrived one after another.
"It wasn't until this time that we learned that Ah Heng's father was originally a homosexual. Back then, he concealed his sexual orientation and married Aunt Ling, just to pass on the family lineage. After Aunt Ling became pregnant, he unscrupulously exposed his true nature and even brought different men home to stay. After Ah Heng was born, Aunt Ling decided to divorce, but the man continued to harass their mother and son, so that she had to leave her hometown to work. Ah Heng's father came to Ah Heng this time because he owed someone a lot of money. According to his confession to the police, the incident at the bar was just the beginning. His plan is to control Ah Heng and make him his cash cow. โ
โโฆโฆ How can there be such scum in the world?! โ
I really couldn't find any other adjectives, Su He listened to the blood and gritted his teeth.
"But he insisted that he was a victim."
Du Yunfei's next words are even more incredible: "In his opinion, all his misfortunes are caused by sexual orientation. And he hated Ah Heng, thinking that Ah Heng had taken away the care and care he deserved, and even treated Ah Heng as a monster. โ
"I'll go! If you slap him, he will have a reason to ruin the whole world? Duan Whale was also forced to marry, but did he cheat on women? His family also forced him to pass on the ancestry, isn't Xingze still his sweetheart? It's stupid and evil, how can this kind of person not die. โ
Speaking of this, Su He suddenly paused and looked at Du Yunfei: "But you said before that it was Ah Heng who died?" โ
"Yes." Du Yunfei nodded: "Ah Heng jumped down from the seventh floor and fell right in front of me." โ
"How so?! Suicide?! โ
The attack on the bar alarmed the parents of the two teenagers, and Du Yunfei's parents rushed back from out of town overnight. The parties sat down to confront each other, peeling back the cocoon, and the facts of the case soon became clear.
Because Ah Heng involved Du Yunfei, Aunt Ling was dismissed. The mother and son packed up their things and left the Du family, and they didn't know where they went.
Du Yunfei's fate also changed, and after discussing with his family, he decided to send him and his sister to school in the United States as soon as next summer passed.
After that, for most of the year, Du Yunfei never saw Ah Heng again. Until the beginning of the summer vacation, on the way from school one day, he saw that familiar figure at the school gate.
Ah Heng is still the same Ah Heng, but he is dark and thin. He wasn't wearing a school uniform, but a dirty-looking T-shirt and jeans.
He sued Du Yunfei that he followed his mother back to the countryside. The countryside is beautiful, with endless turquoise farmland and rolling distant mountains. But it was so quiet there, so quiet that he couldn't help but miss the scenery in the city, and the bits and pieces of Du Yunfei and his life in the Du family.
Ah Heng accompanied Du Yun to fly for a while and stopped at the intersection where he was about to reach Du's house. He pointed to an old residential building and said he was living here temporarily.
The two teenagers said goodbye at the intersection, and when the green light came on, Du Yunfei crossed the zebra crossing.
Somehow, there was a commotion behind him. He looked back and saw a figure standing on the roof of the old residential building, which suddenly fell down.
The crowd was surging, and by the time Du Yunfei came back to his senses, he was already standing in front of the young man who had fallen from the building.
"Ah Heng was still alive at that time, but his head and mouth were full of blood. Hands and feet were broken, twisted at odd angles. I knelt beside him and tried to pick him up, but his shoulders were so weak that his bones were broken...... He kept looking at me, looking at me, and repeatedly shouting 'it hurts'. I knew I needed to do something to alleviate his pain, but I didn't know anything about first aid at the time. For five or six minutes, he โกโก in agony in my arms for five or six minutes, and I ...... Nothing can be done. โ
It was clearly more than ten years ago, but Su He's mood was still entangled with Du Yunfei's voice.
"To be honest, in that situation, even if the doctor arrived in time, I am afraid that there would be nothing that could be done. You really don't have to blame yourself too much. โ
"But if I were a doctor, at least I could see how dangerous Ah Heng's mental and physical state was at that time."
Du Yunfei hugged Su He in his arms tightly, extremely rare, as if he was seeking comfort.
Ah Heng's death appeared in the next day's Metropolis Daily. After reading the report, Du Yunfei realized that Ah Heng had a bad life after returning to his hometown.
Since returning to her hometown, Aunt Ling's love has collapsed.
She couldn't understand why her son, who had worked so hard to raise her alone, would approach her heartless scumbag ex-husband, and even take her employer's son to such a filthy place.
โฆโฆ Could it be that my son is also gay?
No matter how Ah Heng explained, Aunt Ling never believed it. She became suspicious, even suspecting that there was a man hiding in the house. She began to monitor Ah Heng's every move, and even had to be accompanied by her to and from school.
On the other hand, Ah Heng's grandparents also appeared. They asked Ah Heng to intercede with the police, and even wanted him to go to Du Yunfei to exonerate his son, so as to reduce his responsibility and exempt him from the fine. Ah Heng was unwilling, so persuasion turned into threats and abuse, and the grandson who was forced to give birth by them seemed to have become a bloodless stranger overnight.
And in the midst of this invective, the people in the countryside slowly began to know Ah Heng's secret. The children in the school began to laugh and bully Ah Heng, saying that he was messing with his own father. Len's freak, who openly beat him up on the playground, threw his textbook bag into the pond, threw cockroaches and rocks into his lunch box......
Bullying, suspicion, name-calling...... All kinds of things that are too cruel are intertwined, strangling Ah Heng, who can't struggle. He committed suicide once at school, and after drinking pesticides, he was taken to a health center. There, his body was treated, but no one cared about his mental trauma.
The eventual death was painful, but after the severe pain, Ah Heng, the child who had been mistakenly brought into the world, finally returned to heaven.
Ah Heng's story was over, and there was only silence in the greenhouse in the storm.
As if a long time had passed, Su He, who was nestled in Du Yunfei's arms, finally let out a sigh.
โโฆโฆ In fact, sometimes I wonder how evil an animal like a human can be. The evil of one person may be curbed, but the evil of a group of people ...... Sometimes it's really powerless to think about. โ
"Evil is a contagious disease, and it is indeed difficult to cure."
Du Yunfei's voice came from behind his ears.
"But ** and mental illness are often interconnected, so I chose to be a doctor, and while treating patients, I can often observe their inner problems."
After hearing these words, Su He suddenly turned around and hugged Du Yunfei tightly.
"It turns out that you are such a gentle and good man, I want to thank you well."
Du Yunfei stretched out his hand and stroked Su He's back, "Thank me for what?" โ
"Although you have experienced these ugly things, you have not denied your sexual orientation, let alone discriminated against other people with the same sexual orientation. I guess it's going to be hard. โ
"I owe it to Lao Cheng, who let me know that I can't generalize everything. So we have been friends for more than a decade and have kept in touch even abroad. โ
Speaking of this, Du Yunfei paused: "Actually, I should apologize to you." It's because I can't get over this psychological barrier that I accidentally hurt you that day when I got drunk. But for your sake, I will try to overcome this obstacle, please give me a little more time. โ
โโฆโฆ Having said that, it turned out that it was waiting for me here. โ
Su He chuckled and raised his hand to hold Du Yunfei's cheek.
"You should thank Brother Cheng, he not only saved your life, but also found you a smart, handsome, and empathetic good partner. This subject loves you so much that he decides to stop worrying with you about the details. โ
Du Yunfei chuckled because of Su He's boasting, and he stared at Su He with deep dark eyes, his eyes full of warmth.
โโฆโฆ I love you too. โ
A belated confession does not need to be emphasized repeatedly, nor does it need to be declared loudly. Just whispering on your lips is enough to move the heartstrings.
