Wen Zhili wanted to keep pretending this way, but her life always went against her wishes.
I originally thought that this was just another day to pick up my sister from school as usual.
But when he saw the large purple bruises around his sister's mouth and eyes, as well as the glaring bloodstains on her white school uniform, Wen Zhili realized that tonight would be different from usual.
She squatted down anxiously to see Wen Yan's injuries clearly.
Her delicate eyebrows were tightly furrowed. She wanted to touch the bruise at the corner of her eye, but her hand stopped in mid-air for fear of hurting her.
"What happened, Yanyan? Did you fall down?"
Wen Yan looked at her a little aggrieved. It was rare to see her sister so anxious.
When I am cared for, my tears just want to overflow.
"Sister, I'm fine. Let's go home first. I'll explain it to you when we get home."
Seeing this, Wen Zhili said nothing more and took her home in silence, feeling very nervous.
Wen Yan was also silent while sitting in the passenger seat.
She didn't know how to explain what happened today to her sister.
Her parents are going to be called in because of a fight.
The person who fought with her was Li Hao, yes, the boy who said he liked her.
After being rejected that day, Li Hao did not give up. He still often came to talk to Wen Yan and gave her snacks.
Wen Yan responded coldly and returned the snacks.
During the break of evening study today, Li Hao took the seat in front of Wen Yan and wanted to talk to her. Wen Yan was doing her homework and it was clear that she didn't want to pay attention to him.
Shen Guangxi couldn't stand it anymore and said, "Li Hao, don't you see that people don't want to pay attention to you? Can you stop harassing them?"
This made Li Hao furious. He stood up and said, "Did I talk to you? What's your business? Why do you care so much about her? Are you gay? Isn't that disgusting?"
Shen Guangxi also stood up, "Even if he is gay, it's not as disgusting as you harassing people, right?"
"Say that again, damn it!"
Li Hao quickly walked over and pushed Shen Guangxi.
"Are you doing this for your family? Damn homosexual..."
Just as Shen Guangxi stood firm and wanted to curse back, he saw a figure flash past him - it was Wen Yan.
She suddenly pushed Li Hao, moving him a little further away from Shen Guangxi.
The whole class was stunned and stared at them quietly.
Li Hao was stunned for a moment, then changed the subject. "Fuck, I like you so much that I think I'm a nobody, don't I? What the hell is wrong with you?"
"I've been wanting to say this for a long time. You're fucking gay, you're so disgusting. And you said you're not interested in me. You're not even fucking interested in men, are you?"
Wen Yan opened her round eyes, her expression was indifferent, and her tone was also calm:
"You're so homophobic, have you ever been penetrated by a man?"
The whole class was in an uproar.
Shen Guangxi was stunned by what he heard.
Did those words just come out from under Wen Yan's harmless face?
It was as if I had just said, "What a nice day, isn't it?"
Li Hao's face turned red with anger.
"Fuck your uncle Wen Yan, you're done today."
As he said that, he swung his fist at her. Wen Yan was not willing to be outdone, and the two of them started to wrestle.
Of course Wen Yan couldn't beat him and was pinned to the ground in a few moves.
Fortunately, the boys in the class couldn't stand it anymore. After Li Hao threw a few punches at Wen Yan under him, they all tried to pull him up, otherwise Wen Yan would have been more seriously injured.
The girls helped Wen Yan up and wiped the blood from her nose. The head teacher was also called over by the students.
With a grim expression, she asked the two of them to go to her office.
"Teacher, it was Wen Yan who pushed me first."
As soon as he entered the office, Li Hao started to complain, with his hands behind his back and his head tilted back, looking indifferent.
"You shouldn't hit me even if I pushed you! No matter what happens, you shouldn't hit a girl!"
Wen Yan was a good student in the class and usually behaved well. Furthermore, since this was a boy hitting a girl, the teacher naturally blamed Li Hao first.
"Wen Yan, why are you pushing him?"
“He pushed Shen Guangxi first, saying that we…were homosexuals.”
"Li Hao, why did you accuse someone of being gay for no reason?"
Li Hao raised a mocking smile and said, "Teacher, why don't you ask Wen Yan yourself, is she a lesbian?"
The teacher turned his gaze to Wen Yan, the question in his eyes was self-evident.
"Why don't you ask the teacher to ask me why you fought with me?"
"You fucking..."
Now Li Hao was silent.
The teacher then asked Wen Yan about homosexuality.
She was a woman with feudal and conservative ideas. Wen Yan knew that talking too much to her would not end well, but he did not want to deny the fact that he liked girls, and he did not want to downplay this matter in order to please the teacher.
Wen Yan just shook his head when asked the first time, and said nothing when asked again.
The teacher was furious.
"It's a fight and homosexuality. If you don't solve it, let your parents do it. Have your parents come to school before the end of evening study tomorrow!"
Just like that, this was the first time Wen Yan had his parents called to the hospital since he was a child.
As soon as he got home, Wen Zhili pulled Wen Yan to sit on the sofa, and he squatted in front of her, letting his sister look down at him.
"Yanyan, tell your sister what happened at school? Did someone bully you?"
Wen Zhili had just been thinking about thousands of possible situations in the car, such as school bullying and toilet flushing. Just thinking about it made his heart cold.
Wen Yan took a deep breath and recounted what happened that night.
As he spoke, tears began to fall.
"Sister... Li Hao said... I feel sick..."
She sobbed, so pitiful that she couldn't even finish her words. Wen Zhili felt a pang of sadness at the sight.
She sat on the sofa and hugged her gently.
"Yanyan, why did he say that?"
"He said...Shen Guangxi and I are gay."
Wen Zhili's head buzzed.
Wen Yan raised her eyes and looked at her sister cautiously.
When his eyes met those wet eyes, Wen Zhili was so nervous that he almost stopped breathing, just to keep his composure.
"So... is that so?"
She forced herself to continue the conversation.
“I don’t like Shen Guangxi.”
"elder sister……"
"But I seem to really like girls."
A string in Wen Zhili's heart broke at that moment.
She had practiced this before. When the day came when her sister confessed to her that she liked a girl, she would tell her sister that she was too young to know what love was.
When you grow up, you will understand that this is not an easy thing. If you can like boys, then like boys...
…
But now - my sister was looking at me pitifully, her tear-soaked pupils shining with a begging luster.
Wen Zhili was hesitating about how to start when she heard her sister ask again in a tearful voice, "Sister, will you blame me?"
"Li Hao said this was unfair to his family. If I really like girls, is it really weird? Is it really... disgusting?"
Wen Yan thought her sister's silence and evasive eyes had already given the answer. She lowered her head in fear and grievance, tears falling from her eyes one after another. For a moment, she had to change the topic in frustration to another one that also made her collapse.
"What should I do now? I'll have to call my parents and explain to them, and they're so busy... If I had known earlier, I should have just told the teacher that I don't like girls..."
Wen Zhili stared blankly at his panicked and sad sister.
——Sister, will you blame me?
No, no.
As a sister, how could I join others in hurting her?
Wen Zhili gently held his sister's cheeks with both hands, wiped away her tears with his fingertips, and said softly: "It's okay - Yanyan, Yanyan, look at me."
Wen Yan really raised his wet and red eyes and looked at her timidly.
"Don't be afraid, okay? Sister is here, we just don't tell mom and dad about this, it's okay."
"Sister will take care of it, Yanyan, don't be afraid."
Wen Yan looked at her sister who was wiping her tears, a gentle yet determined sister.
It seems that nothing can overwhelm her. No matter how big the problem is, she can solve it for her. She can always say to her: "Don't be afraid, sister is here."
Wen Yan began to cry again, this time because of her love that was so strong that it was unbearable.
Wen Zhili held her in his arms, stroking the back of her head again and again, and soothing her softly, "Yanyan, of course I don't blame you. This is not strange, nor is it disgusting."
"Look, each of us has the right to choose what kind of life we want to live and what kind of person we want to be, right?"
"You're just different from most people. As long as you don't hurt anyone else, you have the right to like girls and be yourself."
"Those who say this have had such ideas instilled in them by their families. We don't need to pay attention to them."
Wen Zhili took the initiative to place a light kiss on his sister's forehead.
"Yanyan, I believe that mom and dad love you with all their heart, just like I do."
"It's okay to like girls."
“You can be whatever you want to be.”
Wen Yan's tears gradually stopped.
Her sister's gentle voice slowly and gradually smoothed out the anxiety in her heart.
My sister seems to be born with this ability.
No matter what happens, as long as I am in my sister's arms and listen to her gently comforting me, I can think of nothing and worry about nothing.
The only thing left in the world was the scent of my sister and her arms.
"Then sister will help me go to school tomorrow, okay?"
"Of course."
The more I listened, the angrier I got. I might as well go to school tomorrow to ask for an explanation.
How could a child whose parents had been reluctant to beat her since she was a child be beaten by a boy for nothing?
After coaxing his sister to sleep, Wen Zhili realized that it was going to be another sleepless night.
First of all, it’s about Li Hao.
Then there's the matter of my sister.
Thinking of this, Wen Zhili sank into the sofa and let out a deep sigh.
This time I took another step back.
…
The next day, Wen Zhili arrived at the school as scheduled. Li Hao's mother also came.
The group sat down in the office, and because Shen Guangxi was involved, Shen Guangxi was also called over.
"Parents, the situation is this: you all understand what happened yesterday, right? As for me, the children refused to respond no matter what I asked them, so I called you over to discuss this matter. We'll handle this as best we can."
"I heard those two girls were involved in lesbian activities. They also accused my son of harassment."
Li Hao's mother was covered in jewels and looked like a tough character. She really made a good first impression.
The teacher frowned slightly when he heard this.
"Your son is just harassing me. I've rejected his confessions many times, and Shen Guangxi and I haven't had an affair..."
Wen Zhili gently patted his sister's hand and tried to comfort her with his eyes.
Seeing this, Wen Yan immediately shut up obediently.
"What evidence do you have that my sister is dating a girl at school?"
I don’t know if my sister did it on purpose.
She wore a black tight-fitting mid-neck top today, revealing her slender neck, and dark grey loose trousers.
Her long legs were crossed, and she leaned slightly against the back of the chair. Plus, her expression was about to turn cold.
It's so cool.
"That's right, Wen Yan and I are just friends, okay?"
Shen Guangxi secretly finished off the attack.
Li Hao's mother was speechless and looked at Li Hao, who was also speechless for a moment.
"Whether my sister is in a relationship or not is beyond verification and has no direct bearing on this matter. Your son has a crush on my sister and has been harassing her, spreading rumors, and even physically assaulting her. The classmates have all witnessed it. If you don't believe me, we can randomly call a few classmates to ask."
Wen Zhili leaned forward slightly and looked at Li Hao's mother with a gaze as cold as ice.
Li Hao's mother was also a discerning person. She saw the situation clearly and realized that her son was lying.
She forced a fake smile.
"I see. It was my son who was reckless."
"We apologize to you. We're really sorry. Do you think... can we just let this matter go?"
Wen Yan was furious. She just said she was sorry and let the matter go?
Just as he was about to curse, he heard Wen Zhili say calmly, "No, Li Hao must at least transfer to another class, and then this matter can be put to rest."
Wen Yan was stunned for a moment, and there were stars in her eyes when she looked at her sister.
But the head teacher, Li Hao and his mother's faces all froze at the same time.
This is a key class, and Li Hao is a sports student. He used his connections to get into this school and this class. How could he be willing to transfer out?
"Sister Wen Yan...isn't this a bit too much? Whose child doesn't make mistakes?" Li Hao's mother still maintained a fake smile.
"So, do you think it's excessive for your son to hit our child in the face like this? Do you think it's excessive for your son to continue harassing my sister?"
Wen Zhili pointed at the bruises still on Wen Yan's face.
The tone was calm, but powerful.
Our children.
Wen Yan secretly savored this name.
"Damn, your sister is a lesbian. She herself said she couldn't accept being in a relationship with a boy. If she had said she was so disgusting being a lesbian, who the hell would have liked her in the first place?"
Li Hao lost his temper and started cursing with a frown.
Wen Zhili felt like a needle was stuck in his ear, so sharp and painful.
She never wanted to hear the words sister, homosexual, and disgusting together again.
