Can You Hear Me

Chapter 46: shame

Views:

After the New Year, the winter vacation ended quickly. On the first day back, Lin Weixia watched the student on duty start writing the countdown in a corner of the blackboard, and she suddenly realized.

This is their last semester at Shenzhen High School.

My high school career is coming to an end.

But she didn't expect that soon after the new semester, another disturbance occurred in the school. Lin Weixia came out of the office holding a thick stack of homework.

She soon realized something was wrong. The boys were standing in groups of three or five in the corridor, looking down at their phones with excited eyes, and discussing constantly, with one or two exclamations and contempt mixed in.

The same thing happened back in the classroom. The students leaned against the tables, huddled together and talked in low voices, occasionally glancing at Fang Jiabei's seat.

Lin Weixia sat down, patted Fang Mo's shoulder, and looked puzzled: "What happened?"

Fang Mo hesitated, glanced at the empty seat in front of her, turned around and lowered her voice to tell her: "Go to the YCH website and see, someone has exposed Fang Jiabei's post there, and now all the boys are discussing her."

Lin Weixia took out her phone from the drawer and logged into the YCH website. As soon as she entered the simple page, she found a post from someone with a hot word icon next to it. She clicked it and saw:

"This girl is from your Grade 3 Class 1, right? Guess where I saw her?"

The post included a photo, which was a bit blurry and obviously a snapshot. Fang Jiabei was wearing a grey sweatshirt, with her head and neck hunched, and wandering hesitantly in front of the infectious disease outpatient department.

Soon someone followed up with a comment, and the discussion became increasingly heated:

[Windmill Dunk]: Damn, is this true? ? ? Pregnant? ? ?

[Football is my sweetheart]: You are such a fool. She went to the infectious disease department and might have contracted a sexually transmitted disease. Last time I saw her, she was hanging out with a guy from another school.

[Uzumaki Naruto]: I'm shocked. This guy looks like a well-behaved student, but his private life is actually a mess.

[Hardware Factory Manager]: This is definitely big news, the school will know about it soon. This kind of person is really shameless.

The further she flipped through the posts, she found that most of the people with male IDs were saying disgusting things. Later, a female user with the ID [Praying to the Moon] said: Don’t interpret such words without any concrete evidence, as it can be very hurtful to girls.

But such remarks were quickly covered by offensive and speculative comments, like a boiling point, constantly spreading around and being interpreted around Fang Jiabei.

Lin Weixia didn't want to read on, so she exited the website and threw her phone into the drawer. At this moment, the class bell rang. Fang Jiabei came back quickly. Her overly long bangs blocked the expression on her face, but she looked gloomy and her face was pale.

Lin Weixia didn't know whether she knew about this or not, but the speculative looks around her made her even more uncomfortable. Fang Jiabei returned to her seat and hid herself in her large sweatshirt, wishing she could shrink into a shadow on the ground.

Nobody can see it.

After finishing the English class, Fang Jiabei ran out quickly. Five minutes later, Fang Mo turned back to report the latest developments to Lin Weixia, handed her the phone screen, and said in a surprised tone:

"Xia Xia, look, that post has been deleted. The accounts that made malicious comments have been banned by the moderator. Those boys went too far."

Lin Weixia looked over and said, "That's great."

But deleting the post could not stop the development of the incident. The scope of Fang Jiabei's visit to the hospital's infectious disease department became wider and wider, and soon, the incident finally broke out.

Before the afternoon physical education class, students shuffled to the locker room to change into their PE uniforms. Lin Weixia walked to the locker, found the corresponding number, and opened the locker.

With a "click", Fang Jiabei, who was not far away, also opened her storage compartment. She stood in front of the cabinet with her mobile phone, looking at something.

Suddenly, a hand reached out and snatched Fang Jiabei's phone away. Fang Jiabei immediately reached out to grab it, and Zheng Zhaoxing held up his phone like a victorious warrior. He quickly flipped through the page she was on, making a "whoosh" sound to cheer her on.

Then he quickly threw it to his younger brothers and passed it around to everyone.

"Ha, so you really have a sexually transmitted disease, something like chlamydia. Ha, your private life is so chaotic."

"Damn, it's true!" Another younger brother showed everyone the browser search history of Fang Jiabei's mobile phone.

The classmates in the class were taking clothes from the lockers, and some were stopping to chat. When they heard what was going on, they looked over, their eyes met, and whispers of discussion could be heard.

Fang Jiabei's face turned extremely red. She struggled to pull the boy's arm away, saying, "Give it back to me, give it back to me."

Zheng Zhaoxing's younger brother was completely impatient and with a look of disgust, he nudged Fang Jiabei with his elbow. With a "bang", Fang Jiabei stumbled and fell to the ground. Her face was pressed against the floor that had been stepped on countless times by people, and her hair was disheveled.

She never looked up.

The phone was quickly passed back to Zheng Zhaoxing, and he laughed: "Should I stay away from her? She's really dirty."

The crowd stepped back automatically. Fang Jiabei, who had been lying on the ground, raised her face and shouted as if she was shocked: "I didn't!"

Lin Weixia stood in front of the storage compartment, her fair hands clenched around the key in the keyhole, her nails turning white as she squeezed hard.

With a "bang", the blue storage compartment door was slammed shut with a deafening noise. Everyone was startled and looked back.

Lin Weixia walked towards them. She raised her eyes and glanced at Zheng Zhaoxing's younger brother, and said calmly:

"cell phone."

Lin Weixia has a strong aura, and her amber eyes are calm and cold. The boy handed her the phone with a trembling hand.

Holding the phone in her hand, Lin Weixia glanced at it and asked Fang Jiabei softly, "Is the hospital report out yet?"

"What?" Fang Jiabei was stunned for a second, then shook her head and stammered, "No."

She didn't go for a check-up. She ran to the hospital that day to get checked out but backed out of fear.

Lin Weixia looked at them again and asked:

"Where's the evidence?"

"What?" Ding Li, who had just proudly expressed his opinion, froze his expression.

The crowd of onlookers soon started to discuss. Is it too much to judge someone based on just one search record? Where is your evidence for spreading rumors and making false accusations to stamp someone's name

Ding Li's expression soon became unhappy.

Zheng Zhaoxing stretched his neck and said in a rough voice: "This is a fucking infectious disease, I am wrongly accusing anyone."

Lin Weixia held Fang Jiabei's neck with one hand, put her arm around her shoulders and helped her up from the ground. After hearing what he said, she turned around and gave him a cold look:

"You are ignorant, and you are justified in bullying girls?"

"In addition to sexual transmission, chlamydia infection can also be caused by indirect transmission. Going to a shopping mall and using a public toilet may also cause indirect infection accidentally."

Lin Weixia stood up, her eyes clear and bright, staring at the boys who spread the rumors and said:

"It's not shameful to be sick. I think it's more shameful for you to use sex to laugh at others."

Lin Weixia's words were like a soft thorn that pierced each of them, and everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.

Zheng Zhaoxing was embarrassed. He bit his back teeth hard, and looked at her with a cold and strange expression on his face: "Remember this, one of you and Ban Sheng will fall into my hands sooner or later."

Lin Weixia ignored them. She helped Fang Jiabei out of the corridor and went to the school infirmary.

Faced with the girls who suddenly broke in, Lin Weixia explained the reason to the teacher.

After hearing this, the school doctor adjusted his glasses and glanced at the silent girl, then turned to look at Lin Weixia and said in a gentle voice:

“You did a great job.”

In response to this symptom, the school doctor prescribed some common medicines for Fang Jiabei, and finally gave her a lot of sexual knowledge, comforting and encouraging her to go to the hospital for examination and treatment.

"I've been swimming in a swimming pool near my home for the past two months." Fang Jiabei twisted her fingers nervously.

The school doctor nodded: "That's it, this is most likely the reason."

"How about this, the teacher calls your parents and asks them to come to the school to pick you up and take you to the hospital?" the school doctor said as he opened the computer to check the student's communication records.

Fang Jiabei's face changed instantly, she was nervous and at a loss: "Teacher, can you please not tell them first? I don't want them to know, what if something happens?"

The school doctor paused, feeling awkward for a moment. Lin Weixia, who was sitting next to him, spoke up. She put her hand on Fang Jiabei's and said:

"I'll go with you."

"That's great. You accompany her first. The teacher will come to pick you up after work. I will handle the follow-up matters." The school doctor immediately wrote leave notes to the two of them.

While waiting, Lin Weixia sent a message to Ban Sheng asking him to go back to class first.

Finally, the two girls left the infirmary side by side. The moment the door closed, a conversation was heard in the air, floating in the mottled afternoon sunlight.

"Thank you." It was a tone of sincerity that was difficult to express with shame.

"You're welcome."

When Lin Weixia helped Fang Jiabei out, the girls who had been watching stood guard at the door and asked worriedly, "Are you okay?"

"This is too much, Zheng Zhaoxing and those bitches." a girl cursed.

"It's okay, it's a problem with the swimming pool." Lin Weixia said on behalf of Fang Jiabei.

Soon, Fang Jiabei's test report came out, and it was confirmed that she was infected with chlamydia. The cause of the disease was that she had indirect contact with the patient while swimming in a public swimming pool, and eventually became infected and sick.

Finally got clarification.

There are always rational people in a group. Soon, a girl posted on the YCH website. Although this website is simple and dark, more and more students come to this forum to seek help or discuss things.

A post someone posted - "As middle school students, should we really be ashamed of sex?" quickly sparked heated discussion in the forum.

The main post said: I don't know if you have paid attention to what happened in the past two days. A girl's ordinary search history on her phone, just because it involved sexual infection, many boys used it to spread rumors and bully the girl. What do you think

[A Different Summer]: In a word, I don’t need to say it clearly about those boys in school, they are really vicious.

[Today's moonlight is so beautiful]: We girls are already in a weak position, and we have to deal with this kind of thing. Moreover, our sex education is not enough. I have forgotten what the junior high school biology textbook taught. It was very annoying because the laughter of the boys drowned out the teacher's voice.

[月月月]: Someone above reminded me that when I was in middle school, my breasts developed faster than those of girls of the same age. At that time, it was a little painful when I touched them, and I was very worried. Later, I learned that this was normal puberty development. But the boys in the class began to laugh at me for having big breasts. When I walked on the street, I received their teasing and pointing eyes, which made me very scared at the time. I wore loose clothes all day long and deliberately wore tight bras to try to make the discussion about my body quieter. The worst thing was that I started to hunch my back and my body became uglier and uglier. If there was more popular sex education at that time, boys and girls would understand that this was a normal body structure, wouldn’t the point of ridicule be valid

[梦醒时分]: I feel sorry for the main poster. I want to tell you one thing here. If the moderator can see the real information behind this account, please don’t expose me. During the summer vacation of high school, my parents took me to visit an ancient city in the southwest. Because we were traveling by chartered car, we met a couple, probably in their thirties. They were very enthusiastic and interesting, and my parents also got along well with them.

When we were on the boat, the uncle told me about the customs and practices of his hometown. He even joked that if I went to visit them, he would give me a horse to ride and would definitely treat me well. Wow, I was really happy at that time and felt like I had made a new friend.

In the evening, we went to the wall of the ancient building to watch the bonfire party. I was standing next to the aunt at that time. I don’t know when the uncle stood behind me. I was watching the show downstairs seriously. I felt the man’s breath was very close to me. I always felt that someone kept rubbing against me from behind. The strange feeling came up. I stood there for a while and felt uncomfortable and left. I thought there were too many people at that time. He accidentally touched me because of the crowd. I didn’t dare to tell my parents at that time. A long time later, I saw a hot news on Weibo. Many girls shared their experiences of being harassed below. I secretly searched the Internet and reviewed the details at that time. I realized that it was sexual harassment.

[Rainy Day]: Damn, give me a hug upstairs.

[Giraffe]: Throw up, this kind of man is really disgusting. Fortunately, you are okay.

[No more asking why]: During the summer vacation in middle school, my parents sent me to a sex education summer camp. I learned a lot there. Later, I found the teacher's videos and watched them several times. I remember that he said something very well. I took notes at the time. His original words were roughly like this: "There is actually no difference between the buttocks and the face. They are both organs of our body. We should face our bodies and recognize our body rights."

In addition, he also popularized knowledge about sexual harassment, as well as the physiological, psychological, and developmental knowledge of adolescent students. In fact, schools should pay attention to this aspect, which is beneficial to all of us.

[A liar must swallow a thousand needles]: I support it! Hey, are there any friends in the school editorial department? We really don't have enough sex education. We can report it to the school and apply for the publication of this kind of sex knowledge brochures or leaflets. Most of the people on the forum have joined the club. Anyone who joins the club can get it and read it at will. How great, just in time to popularize sex knowledge for those idiots.

[Send a letter to you]: Raise your hand! I happen to be in the school editorial department. I can tell the teacher about this and try to apply. He should be able to help us.

[Awakening from a Dream]: Then let me count what groups the users in this post belong to, and let’s divide the work among ourselves.

[Little Cat]: I will help too. In fact, these popular science booklets can be placed not only in clubs but also in corners of campus.

[When can I make the buzzer beater]: Count me in, I’m not watching the game tonight.

[Sending a letter to you]: ??? Are you a man

[When can I make the winning shot]: What's wrong with being a man? I am different from those men!

The group of netizens on the website stayed up late to compile a very long statistical table, while the school editorial department was responsible for finding information, consulting biology teachers, etc., and finally it was reviewed and approved by the teacher in charge of the school editorial department.

This group of netizens may not know each other offline, they may just be strangers who pass by each other, or they may be good friends who just had a quarrel, but they are all working together for this matter.

Soon, the first batch of sex knowledge manuals appeared in every corner of the school campus.

As soon as the news of the booklet being approved for publication came out, everyone in the school was excited. Many people high-fived and laughed. This was a victory for them.

Hearing the news, Fang Jiabei, who was doing her homework, also smiled softly. She was distracted and recalled the day when Lin Weixia took her to the bathroom to wipe the dust off her face:

The bathroom was empty, and the tap was not closed tightly, dripping water continuously, making a "tick-tick" sound. The tap was turned on, and Lin Weixia took out a handkerchief from her pocket, held it under the water, and turned it on again.

Lin Weixia stood in front of Fang Jiabei. Her eyes were gentle. She wiped the dust off the girl's face slowly and carefully, avoiding the wound on purpose.

"Why are you so nice to me? I don't have what you want." Fang Jiabei's voice was filled with tears.

Lin Weixia raised her hand to push aside her messy and long bangs, revealing a pair of black and white eyes, with her eyelashes raised: "You look better without bangs."

"Why?" Fang Jiabei couldn't help crying out loud.

Lin Weixia looked at her and said something slowly.
