Chapter 11 4. Bullying

Xia Ruhua did not expect that the short contact between Lin Shan and Wei Rufeng would change her student life.Previously, Xia Ruhua was very popular in the class. She was pretty and studied well. When she was studying, this kind of girl was very popular. Although she might not be close to her classmates, she was always admired. But ever since Lin Shan met Rufeng, she didn't care much about Xia Ruhua, she didn't eat together at noon, and she didn't go with her after school.At first Xia Ruhua didn't think much of it, but later she found that the female students in the class were gradually alienating from her. Not only that, but she often saw a few girls gathering together from time to time to whisper something, their eyes He kept glancing at her.

This made Xia Ruhua very suffocated. She has been a very strong and cute child since she was a child. All the children in the fishing village loved to play with her. Only she ignored others, and no one ever ignored her.Although her grandmother was forced to bear the pressure of life early after her grandmother died of illness, her personality was much more restrained, but she was still peaceful and kind.The actions of Lin Shan and the others hurt her little self-esteem, making it unbearable for her.Therefore, after a week, Xia Ruhua took the initiative to call Lin Shan out, and she wanted to ask why she was isolated collectively.

After lunch, Xia Ruhua stood a little nervously under the tree behind the playground, the breeze carried the sweet smell of the sea, and the sticky, old-style Dacron shirt stuck to her back, outlining her slender figure.Xia Ruhua watched Lin Shan approach slowly and nonchalantly, and unconsciously clenched her hands. "What's the matter? You even wrote a note asking me to come out." Lin Shan said impatiently. "I just want to ask you, what's the matter with you recently? Why don't you talk to me." Xia Ruhua looked directly at her and said a little aggrieved.

"No, there's nothing to say." Lin Shan said lightly, but a mocking expression appeared on her face unconsciously. "You did it on purpose, right?" Xia Ruhua asked angrily. "You said that, I didn't say it!" Lin Shan said rascally. "I'm asking you carefully. If you don't tell me, it's fine. I don't care if you are like this!" Xia Ruhua turned around angrily and left, Lin Shan yelled loudly from behind: "You don't care? What do you think you are! Everyone thinks you are disgusting! Talking to you makes my mouth dirty! Bah!"

Xia Ruhua stopped in her tracks and froze in place.No one had ever scolded her like that, let alone said she was disgusting.Although her family background is worse than that of the classmates in the class, she does not have beautiful clothes and fashionable stationery, but she studies very hard and her grades are among the best. She treats every classmate sincerely, so she has never been looked down upon. Believe that you are no worse than anyone else, and always look up when you walk. The word "disgusting" was too heavy for her, Xia Ruhua looked at Lin Shan in a daze, a ferocious and cruel color appeared on the young face far away.

"What is the relationship between you and your brother! You have something wrong! You are incest!" Her voice was like a curse, hitting Xia Ruhua's eardrum word by word, and engraved it in her heart.She felt that she was about to explode, and complex emotions such as anger, shame, and sadness, which she had never even experienced, surged out all of a sudden, making it unbearable for her.Xia Ruhua trembled violently, shaking her fingertips uncontrollably. She walked back, waved her hand and slapped Lin Shan hard, and said with red eyes, "You are talking nonsense!" Lin Shan didn't expect Xia Ruhua to make a move. She was stunned for two seconds and then rushed forward without hesitation, kicking and beating her while cursing.Xia Ruhua couldn't scold her, so she dragged her reluctantly, and because she had to be careful not to damage her clothes, she suffered a lot of punches and kicks.

In the end Lin Shan returned triumphantly, but Xia Ruhua was so embarrassed that she skipped class for the first time in her life.She cried all the way home, washed the clothes with footprints in tears, went to the vegetable market to buy vegetables in tears, and finished her homework in tears. When Wei Rufeng came back, she couldn't cry anymore, she didn't tell Wei Rufeng what happened.Xia Ruhua didn't know how to open her mouth, and she didn't want to ruin her relationship with Wei Rufeng because of the shameful word "incest".Most importantly, during the confrontation with Lin Shan, she developed a little sense of fear, as if the most hidden corner of her heart had been punctured, which made her afraid, and even she herself couldn't explain why.

So Xia Ruhua chose to serve Wei Rufeng food with a smile after crying, she endured her distress, but when she walked into the school, she no longer raised her head.And Lin Shan also expressed her behavioral rejection more concretely and clearly.The girls in the class stopped talking to Xia Ruhua, her desk and textbooks were often smeared, and words like "incest" and "shameless" popped up from time to time.No one particularly cares about uttering or writing these insulting words. Group behavior will spread to each other like a cold, which will often make the evil deeds fade away. Some female students didn't even know that Xia Ruhua had a younger brother before, so they took it for granted Joined the ranks of Lin Shan.They don't understand at a young age that this will deeply hurt others, and the psychological impact is incalculable, even more serious than simple violence.

Xia Ruhua was in great pain because of this. She had to buy new textbooks because they were messed up. The book fee of more than ten yuan was a big stone on her heart.Wei Rufeng earned the money one by one in the wind and rain at the pier, because such expenses made her very sad. At the entrance of the Xinhua Bookstore, she squatted down time and time again, holding brand-new people to teach textbooks and weeping. Xia Ruhua could only save money by going on a diet. She became thinner and more withdrawn, and her academic performance continued to decline.The teacher talked to her specially, and taught her not to be complacent, and to be strict with herself without the supervision of her parents and teachers.Xia Ruhua nodded blankly in response, enduring a nightmare-like life every day.

This period of time did not last long, but even though Lin Shan and the others gradually forgot to bully her, the beautiful and excellent Xia Ruhua had disappeared. She was reduced to a shadow in the classroom, silently silent in the love that had been given to her. In the campus of hopes and dreams.
