The next day, Zhao Yifan sent her a long bill that seemed to stretch on forever, even listing items he had previously bought for her, such as a cup of milk tea and a candied hawthorn.
The most outrageous thing is that even when I went to his house for dinner during the Chinese New Year, his mother charged me 80 cents for each dumpling she made.
When Li Siting recounted the story, Qi An and Ata were utterly astonished by her incredible feat, exclaiming that she was a genius.
Qi Laoda said that he had lived for hundreds of millions of years and had never seen such a bizarre brat.
Such detailed expenses could not have been compiled in a short period of time; they must have been quietly recorded one by one over time.
Moreover, the bill only recorded the money he spent on Li Siting, but not a single penny of the money Li Siting spent on him.
After crying her heart out, Li Siting blocked him, thinking she had been blind all these years and that everyone encounters a few scumbags in their lifetime.
She took a few days off from the hospital, thinking she could rest and relax, and pretend nothing had happened.
She is a strong and optimistic girl, and this little difficulty cannot defeat her.
The trial has not yet concluded, but somehow the news has leaked out and the details have been circulated online.
Also uploaded online were photos of her and the rapist; the man was handsome and reportedly a second-generation rich kid from a land expropriation project.
Soon, her personal information was completely exposed, followed by a barrage of accusations and curses.
Every day, countless keyboard warriors flood her social media accounts, using vulgar and offensive language to slut-shame her.
They said she wore a skirt and went into alleys to seduce men, that she was hypocritical, that she had her fun and then turned around and bit back, and that she deserved it.
She also claimed that she had planned this all along, wanting to hook up with that good-looking rich kid who got his property demolished, and that the person who violated her was innocent.
They maliciously interpreted the events from various angles, just because she didn't fight back and escaped unharmed.
No resistance means acquiescence.
Some women even support this view, criticizing her while expressing their own determination to defend their innocence.
"If it were me, I would definitely fight to the death, even if it meant my own death, to prevent him from succeeding. How can you just lie down and give in like this? It means you don't object at all."
"Exactly, I think so too. It must be her actions that misled others, making them think she was willing... It's a matter of mutual consent..."
"By the way, that guy is kind of handsome, and his family is rich too, hehe, you know what I mean."
"Ahhh, my brother is so handsome, I love him so much, I want him to do my thing to me."
"Me too, please face me head-on."
...
Many netizens claiming to know the man have come forward, giving various examples to illustrate how honest and upright the man is, expressing disbelief that he would do such a thing.
Most people don't care about the so-called truth; they are the so-called bystanders, excited and curious.
Media marketing accounts sprang into action, countless reports emerged like mushrooms after rain, and netizens subsequently reposted them, making her an instant sensation.
People who knew her called one after another, ostensibly to comfort and care, but their gossipy and curious tone made her feel extremely tormented.
The most agonizing thing was her parents' attitude. They didn't ask her if she was scared or if it hurt. They remained silent for a long time before telling her.
Don't go home for now. Find a job that doesn't require night shifts. Also, don't wear skirts out anymore.
Do they also think she's a disgrace?
Do you also think it's her fault?
However, from childhood to adulthood, both her teachers and parents have told her to cherish life, because life is the most important thing.
She didn't fight back in order to save her life, so why is everyone saying she was wrong?
Could it be that her so-called innocence is more important than her life?
Was she really wrong?
Should she fight back to the death and then have her throat slit to be considered a good girl?
She unplugged the internet cable and dared not go online anymore, but countless phone calls came into her phone every day, some cursing, but more often harassing.
Some people said they liked the idea of wearing uniforms and asked her how much it would cost to come in a nurse's uniform for a while.
Later, she didn't even dare to answer the phone anymore, and when she went out to buy something, she had to cover herself up completely, afraid of being recognized.
But someone still found her place and wrote words like "slut," "whore," and "bitch" on the door in paint.
The landlord angrily declared that he could no longer rent the house to her, so she had to move.
The hospital told her to rest well and not to rush back to work; the underlying meaning was clear, so she resigned.
Li Siting spent all her time hiding in her room, her hair falling out in clumps, suffering from insomnia night after night, and crying until dawn every day.
She can't stand the slightest noise; even a shout from someone in the hallway can make her tremble all over.
She was originally a slightly chubby girl, plump and round, wearing a pretty dress, petite and cute.
In less than a month, she lost weight from 100 pounds to 70 pounds.
She was a nurse, and she knew in her heart that she had depression.
She tried hard to heal herself and emerge from the abyss. She didn't want to be defeated by cyberbullying; she wanted to live a good life.
But she was really tired.
She logged into her account and analyzed her mental journey, writing, "I just feel that life is more important than anything else."
At the end, she wrote: "I'm sick, can you please leave me alone?"
More than a month has passed since the incident, and fewer people are criticizing her. With so many new things happening every day, people's attention will eventually shift.
Recently, a tragic incident occurred in which a primary school student was run over and killed by a vehicle at school.
However, the keyboard warriors focused on what clothes the mother who lost her child was wearing and what bag she was carrying.
The malice of their thoughts is chilling.
Many women in the comments section spoke up for her, sending her private messages to comfort and encourage her, saying it wasn't her fault and that she shouldn't pay attention to those disgusting keyboard warriors.
But some people say she's faking illness to gain sympathy.
"These days, everyone claims to have depression. Who are they trying to scare? So what if you're sick?"
"Depression says, I'm not taking the blame for this."
"If you're sick, just die."
Li Siting ignored the insults directed at her and focused only on the comforting words; she was trying her best to save herself.
She told herself that there were still many people who thought she was not wrong, and she only believed what these people said.
She even went on a trip, hoping that time would heal the wounds; she believed she would get through it.
A few days later, she learned that the mother, after losing her child, had committed suicide by jumping off a building due to the vicious comments online.
She felt the world was utterly disgusting, and she could hardly breathe.
Little did she know, something even more disgusting was yet to come.
Just as her condition was starting to improve, she received a private message containing nude photos of her that had been taken at the time. The message was quickly retracted.
The scumbag who assaulted her has been released.
The reason is insufficient evidence.
Because she did not resist at all, there were no obvious external injuries on her body, making it impossible to prove whether she was forced or acted voluntarily.
I don't know what methods that man's family used, but even the evidence of the knife and nude photos disappeared.
The scumbag insisted that she was there voluntarily. He was drunk and incoherent, and Li Siting gave him a signal, which he took as an invitation.
The online violence, which had almost subsided, has returned with even greater force this time.
Keyboard warriors transformed into moral guardians, nailing her to the pillar of shame.
With official endorsement, no one felt she was forced anymore, and even her supporters began to waver.
That beast openly professed his love for her online, saying he wanted to rekindle their past relationship.
Her parents called and subtly suggested that the man was a good catch, and since they were already in that situation, it would be fine for them to be together.
Li Siting hung up the phone expressionlessly; this time, she couldn't even shed a single tear.
A few days later, she put on light makeup, wore her favorite white dress, and jumped from the eighteenth floor.
She didn't die from the thugs' knives, but was killed by countless unseen blades.
How ironic!
