Cathedral of Saint-Michel Saint-Gudure
The largest Catholic church in Brussels is called St. Michel's Church, which was relocated to the site by the relics of St. Gudule, and the name of the saint was added as a suffix. Only the church where the bishop of the Catholic diocese is located can be canonized by the Vatican, and the church of St. Michel is the seat of the bishop of the Belgian diocese. It was a Saturday and the church opened early. There was no one in the main hall, Han Yanchen took Jiang Tianyi to the front row of the bench, sat under the magnificent pillars and wooden sculptures, and looked up at the towering dome.
At 9 o'clock, the chanting sound of the underground chanting building was reflected from the dome into the entire main hall, and the magnificent and pure sound baptized the ears of Han Yanchen and Jiang Tianyi. With the sound of chanting, Han Yanchen finally told a short story.
Once upon a time there was a boy who was very handsome, and when he was in kindergarten, there were always teachers who recognized him as a girl, and in front of boys, he was the least aggressive child, so little boys and little girls liked to play with him. Later, when he went to elementary school, the secondary sexual characteristics of his male classmates germinated day by day, but he seemed to stay at an early age, like a seed that did not sprout, and there were no new changes, and from then on, the little boy began to live a life of various comparative sexual characteristics of his peers. However, this is not the solution after all, as the development of the difference is becoming more and more obvious, he is more and more aware of his abnormalities, fortunately, his father attaches great importance to his own development, took him to the best hospital in G City for a comprehensive growth and development assessment, after a series of blood tests, the doctor found that the boy's ** hormone secretion is completely lower than the level of his peers, and the development of secondary sexual characteristics is indeed more than three years later, so his father took him to the more experienced Imperial Capital Children's Hospital for treatment.
The experienced pediatrician immediately decided to have the child undergo a comprehensive chromosomal examination to check for possible genetic mutations. After examination, it was found that the child did not have a genetic mutation, but a sex chromosome abnormality, and had one more X chromosome than other children. The full name of this disease is Klinefeldt's syndrome, or Klinefelter syndrome for short, and the cause of the disease is that there is one more X chromosome in the congenital sex chromosome, and it has a familial genetic tendency. The disease is difficult to detect in childhood, and patients develop more or less during the development of secondary sexual characteristics, but the Adam's apple is small or absent, taller, thinner, longer limbs, and very white skin even better than that of women. In adulthood, some severe patients will be insexually ineffective and even infertile for life.
The treatment of Klinefelter syndrome is long and arduous, because the cells of the whole body are abnormal cells, and the effect of strengthening hormone stimulation alone is not very obvious, and many patients give up during the treatment process and do not stick to it for a long time.
For Han Yanchen, adolescence was the worst experience of his life. He is destined to be different from other boys, constantly taking a variety of male hormones to stimulate the development of secondary sexual characteristics. Hormone metering levels greatly affect a child's mood, he becomes irritable and irritable, likes to hide alone and lose his temper. The more these girls around him liked him and cared about his looks, the more disgusting and uncomfortable he felt.
In the process, he desperately endured and suppressed himself, trying to make himself look as ordinary as other boys, so he asked a good friend of his on how to make himself look more manly, he participated in a lot of sports activities that only boys like, participated in the school football team every Saturday, and participated in the basketball team every Sunday. But when other boys were sweating profusely and smelly, Han Yanchen still had a faint fragrance on his body, and he never smelled. Over time, there will also be strange individuals infected by him among boys, envying his femininity and imitating his various actions and behaviors, which makes Han Yanchen even more painful.
In this process, Jiang Tianyi appeared, she was like a wisp of breeze, and every time she went to watch the ball, she would cause the boys to make involuntary eye contact. And all the boys know that as long as there is a girl who comes to watch them play, it must be to see Han Yanchen, who is tall and handsome, and no one can compare to him.
Jiang Tianyi is the most popular girl among boys, she likes to bake, and will give gifts with biscuits, although everyone knows that she is not a drunkard. She likes to buy drinks, she just started to buy sports functional drinks, but Han Yanchen never drank them (in fact, he was afraid of affecting the efficacy of drugs), so she began to make shaved ice in different ways, buy herbal tea, and change the taste according to the weather, sometimes freshly squeezed watermelon juice, sometimes expensive mineral water, and even send soup on rainy days.
The boys didn't want Han Yanchen to accept Jiang Tianyi's confession, if the other party deliberately accepted Jiang Tianyi, then this kind of treatment of the whole team would inevitably be a special treatment for one person, Han Yanchen could only pretend to be incomprehensible in order not to be rejected by the boys. And Jiang Tianyi never counts whether it is more or less, whether it is long or short, and he always comes and goes so enthusiastically.
When he was in high school, the general election of the manager of the boys' club, Yan Qiyan appeared in the sky, replacing the gentle and considerate Jiang Tianyi. She cares more about Han Yanchen's feelings than Jiang Tianyi, but she will definitely not waste a minute on other boys, when new people join, there will be old people who leave, Jiang Tianyi goes to the school team to watch the game less and less, with Lu Xun's strong joining, the boys' power pattern has become more and more embarrassing. Some friends were bought by Lu Xun and Lu Chang, and Jiang Tianyi spent more and more time practicing in the piano room alone, she became more lively and active than before, in a girls' basketball game, she was able to score a three-point grand slam, and she could always be found on the tennis court. Immediately after that, she participated in the city's swimming competition, won the freestyle championship in the high school group and helped the school team win the second place in the relay race.
Han Yanchen has never been able to get rid of this inferiority complex under the shadow of congenital chromosomal abnormalities. He actually doesn't care how many girls surround him, he hates his face more and more that meets the aesthetic standards of women, and the more girls who pursue him, the more feminine he proves. He began to mind every detail and words Jiang Tianyi said when he met him, for fear that someone would find out the secret of his congenital aldosterone insufficiency. He never took a shower in the school bathroom, nor did he go to the homes of other male classmates to stay at home, no one ever knew about his hormones, he never went to G City when he was re-examined, and he never participated in the whole school physical examination. However, with the opening up of society, the girls are like wolves, and they all want to see him when he changes his clothes and want to see him swimming, which makes him even more painful and embarrassed.
In the summer, he can often catch a glimpse of the beautiful Jiang Tianyi playing in the swimming pool from the football field, the physical education teacher on the shore and the strong seniors on the shore always spare no effort to throw their thick shoulders and fly in the pool, and he always inadvertently shows a look of disappointment, how much he misses Jiang Tianyi sitting on the court in a daze.
