After being made to stand twice on the first day of school, Chen Ge's name quickly became known around the campus.
He stood at the classroom door with his bag. All the students passing by were looking at him, and he was also looking at those students.
"The task Chang Wenyu gave me is quite difficult. Every student seems to have something abnormal."
The bell rang, but Teacher Liu didn't come back, so Chen Ge returned to the classroom consciously.
He put the chair of the second student who was knocked unconscious on his seat and sat down comfortably.
The new teacher started the class, but Chen Ge did not listen. He took out a pen and paper from his bag and began to think about how to find those children who are qualified to be door pushers.
He was thinking deeply when someone at the next table suddenly handed him a small note with only two short words on it: "Thank you".
Chen Ge was a little surprised to see Chen Ge. In his opinion, the blood-red world behind the door was filled with despair and negative emotions. The people here probably wouldn't say thank you.
"What are you thanking me for? You're being troubled by them because of me, so of course I have to stand up. It's my duty." Chen Ge turned and said to his deskmate Da Bing, but Da Bing didn't dare to reply and maintained his posture, as if Chen Ge was talking to himself. There was no communication between him and Chen Ge.
"Are you scared?" Chen Ge knew what Da Bing was worried about.
"I'm sorry." After a long time, Dabing handed over another note.
Chen Ge was smart this time. He took out a pen and wrote a few words on the back of the note.
"It's okay. They're going too far. I can't stand them."
After returning the note, Da Bing saw it and started writing again: "Me too, but I dare not resist. I have no friends, no one speaks for me, and the teacher only cares about academic performance, but I am stupid."
There was helplessness between the lines on Dabing's note.
"You'll have a friend from now on. My name is Chen Ge, what's yours?"
"Li Bing, because there is a "Bing" in my name and my face is big and round, so they call me Da Bing."
"Got it. I'll remember it."
"Chen Ge, I'm sorry for what happened just now. I should have stood up. But I'm really scared. Do you think I'm a coward?"
"No one is born strong. Besides, people's personalities and cognitions are highly malleable. This is a kind of adaptability to society and the living environment. I know you have worked very hard." Chen Ge handed the note to Da Bing. After a moment, he took out a new piece of paper and wrote a sentence on the front: "Can you tell me about your past?"
Chen Ge suspected that Li Bing was one of the people he was looking for, so he began to test him.
"What aspects do you mean?"
"About you, and the others in this class, when did they start bullying you?"
Looking at the contents on the note, Li Bing hesitated for a long time before he started writing. He wrote a long paragraph and handed it to Chen Ge.
"My actual situation is different from what they said. My parents love me very much, so the things they said can't hurt me at all. In my opinion, they are a group of devils who like to expose other people's scars. They build their happiness on the pain of others. This kind of thing will pass if you just endure it. After all, there are teachers here, and they dare not do anything to me. Chen Ge, I advise you to try not to conflict with them in the future. They have their own small groups. The guy you knocked out just now seems to know some hooligans outside the school."
The content on the note made Chen Ge feel uncomfortable. The bullied people lost the courage to resist and only wanted to escape. Perhaps deep down in their hearts, they felt that they would grow up one day and leave this place one day, so they just endured it.
They don't know that some experiences will be engraved in their bones and become an indelible shadow in their minds. Whenever they think of it, even if they deny it in their hearts, they will still feel a little uncomfortable.
Chen Ge looked at the note. He did not refute Li Bing. What could a child do when faced with such a situation?
Unarmed and helpless, when malice strikes, they are like being stripped naked and standing under the spotlight, with nowhere to escape. They can only cover their only dignity and endure it in silence.
Seeing Chen Ge was silent, Li Bing handed over a second note: "Just be patient. If you resist, you might end up like Yan Fei."
"Who is Yan Fei?"
"The student who originally sat in your seat."
"Where is he now?"
"After that incident, Yan Fei dropped out of school."
"He left school?"
"No, he is still in the infirmary. His parents helped him to withdraw from school." Li Bing then handed Chen Ge a note: "He has been freed. You must not disturb him again."
Chen Ge put away Li Bing's note and moved his eyes between Li Bing and his own seat.
When he first entered the classroom, his chair had been stepped on and was about to fall apart, there were all kinds of scratches on the table, and the drawers were sticky and seemed to be filled with a lot of garbage.
These are the things that happened to Yan Fei. Compared with Yan Fei, Li Bing's situation is much worse.
The person those bastards bullied was Yan Fei, and Li Bing was just the replacement they found after Yan Fei left.
The evil thoughts in the world behind the door were magnified, and the bad side of human nature was completely revealed. Just by looking at the tables and chairs used by Yan Fei, you can roughly understand what happened to him.
"Is he in the infirmary because he was beaten by those guys?" Chen Ge was angry. He didn't know why he was so angry. It might be because of the inaction of the school, or it might be because of the lack of education of the bullies.
"No." Li Bing shook his head, and tore off another page of paper, wrote a few words, and then secretly handed it to Chen Ge: "They have been bullying Yan Fei, targeting him everywhere, throwing his homework books, breaking his desk and chairs, and drawing on his schoolbag and the hem of his clothes."
"Why do they have to bully Yan Fei?" Chen Ge felt that Yan Fei might be the person he was looking for, and wanted to find out about Yan Fei's past.
"I don't know either. Yan Fei lives in a very ordinary family, just like you and me. The only difference may be that he has a strong self-esteem, doesn't like people making jokes, and is a little bit unsociable. Maybe those guys just want to throw Yan Fei's self-esteem into the ground and step on it hard to satisfy some of their own psychological needs."
"Yan Fei used to be a pretty good student, above average, but later on, due to various things, his grades got worse and worse."
"His parents are worried and his teachers are becoming increasingly indifferent to him."
"Finally one day, when someone was fighting over his notebook, he got into a fight with those people."
"Yan Fei endured it for a long time, but he was alone after all, so he was quickly pinned down."
"Because it was in the classroom, the teacher came over quickly and pulled them apart."
"Later, when the teacher asked what happened, many people remained silent. The few who spoke were the bully's friends. They said they were just joking, and Yan Fei had a strong self-esteem and couldn't take a joke, so he started the fight first."
