My name is Ye He. I was born in a small place in Gan City. In the words of city people, it is a mountain village.
I am very lucky. In our mountain village where girls are worthless, my parents love me very much.
When most girls were sent away and forced to marry.
My parents would send me to school and tell me, "He He, leave here and see the world outside."
When I was in high school, I was admitted to a county high school with a full scholarship. Every time I went home, I had to walk a full four hours on the mountain road.
In my first year of high school, I met Su Ye.
At that time, I wore patched clothes and shoes, which always attracted people's pointing and talking.
Those strange looks pierced my heart like needles, but that was the best my parents could give me.
I nervously grabbed the corner of my clothes, with my head hung low.
Sitting in my seat in the classroom, my eardrums were filled with the sarcastic words of my classmates.
I was so uncomfortable and embarrassed that I felt extremely uncomfortable.
Su Ye came over, she was full of sunshine, sat next to me, and a brilliant smile bloomed on her face. That smile seemed to be able to dispel all the haze in my world.
She said to me, "Ye He, my name is Su Ye. We are destined to be best friends. Look, we both have 'Ye' in our names."
From then on, everything went as Su Ye said, and we became best friends.
I live in the school, and Su Ye's family is from the county town.
Seeing that I was thin, she thoughtfully brought me all kinds of delicious food every day.
Knowing that I only go home once a month and worried that I would have nowhere to go on weekends, she warmly invited me to stay at her house.
She is like a little sun, and her parents are very nice to me.
I even had my own bed at Su's house.
Su Ye would also accompany me to do part-time work. She would try her best to protect my fragile and pitiful self-esteem at all times and carefully take care of my feelings.
She used the money she earned from her hard-earned part-time job to buy me new clothes, and even made the excuse that the clothes were too small and couldn't be returned, and just like that, she stuffed this precious gift into my hands.
Su Ye always likes to say to me: "Ahe, you will definitely become a shining person in the future!"
Until we were admitted to Kyoto University.
I thought we would be together for the rest of our lives and become shining adults just like Su Ye said.
When freshman year started, raising tuition became a problem. Even though my parents gave me all their savings, plus the money I earned from my part-time job, it was still a long way off.
It was Mother Su who secretly transferred the full amount of tuition to me, helping me out of my urgent financial situation. I will always remember this kindness in my heart.
In order to pay it back as quickly as possible, I started looking for part-time opportunities as soon as I enrolled.
My first part-time job was as a waiter in a Western restaurant.
While busy in the restaurant in uniform, she was unexpectedly photographed secretly and the photos were posted on the campus forum.
The post was flooded with obscene comments, with some people maliciously speculating: "Look at how short her skirt is and how revealing her uniform is, she must be trying to seduce someone!"
When I was walking on the street, some male classmates even stopped me in a lewd manner and asked me with a frivolous smile if I wanted to change to a job that "pays more money."
Faced with this groundless malice, I felt aggrieved but still at a loss.
It was Su Ye who stood up without hesitation, defended me, and even smashed the harasser's head. All this was because of me.
The second time, with the results of the college entrance examination and the student ID card of the school, I found a part-time job as a tutor.
Sometimes the classes ended too late and the students' parents, out of kindness, would ask the driver to take me back to school.
But who would have thought that this would become a handle for others to maliciously fabricate the story.
They started to talk behind her back: "She's really having fun, she must be hooking up with a bald old man!"
All kinds of vulgar and obscene jokes and slander came to me like a tide...
...
I wore long sleeves and long pants, and didn't even dare to take them off in the summer, but they still pointed at me.
When Ye He said this, the sounds at the scene rose and fell.
Netizens are also cursing.
[Dirty things, everything looks dirty! ]
[Bah, a bunch of trash! ]
[Miss, beauty is not a crime, only prejudice exists! ]
Dogs generally don't understand what people wear.
[Damn it, we girls can live our lives the way we want, why are you telling us what to do?!]
...
Ye He listened to the shouts from the crowd and didn't understand.
Obviously, it wasn’t like this before!
This world is really strange.
When I was alive, they pushed me to death.
I died, but I felt that at this moment, the whole world seemed to be emitting kindness.
...
She was completely immersed in the painful memory, her eyes were empty, and she continued to talk to herself.
As long as I am with Su Ye, I can ignore any rumors and cover my ears.
Why? Why are you doing this to us?
Last Friday, my class teacher came to me and said, "Ye He, come see me later.
Regarding the scholarship, I need you to modify your information."
Without a doubt, I went to the office.
When I arrived, I found that only our class teacher Ma Li was in the office.
Ma Li looked at me and said, "Ye He, I left your information at home. You have to come back with me to get it."
I followed him without thinking much at the time.
When I was a child, I was afraid of ghosts because the ghosts on TV and in books looked hideous. Later I realized that well-dressed people are even scarier.
When Su Ye came to find me, he saw Ma Li and I going up to the teachers' dormitory and followed us.
