Chapter 85 The Past
——That day was their junior high school graduation ceremony.
The classmates in the class had finished taking the graduation photo together, and then started to look for their close friends to take photos with, as well as to take a group photo with the class teacher.
“Yun Fang! Let’s take a photo together!” Song Cun went over and put his arm around Yun Fang’s shoulder. Seeing Sun Yuan, he called him over, “Sun Yuan, come and help me and your brother take a photo!”
Sun Yuan looked a bit upset. He didn’t do well in the exam. Not to mention getting into No.1 High School, he couldn’t even get into No.3 High School. He could only go back to the high school in the town. But hearing Song Cun calling him, he still took the camera.
Song Cun’s arm was draped over Yun Fang’s shoulder, and he made a ‘yeah’ gesture towards the camera, saying to Yun Fang, “Sugar, give us a smile.”
Yun Fang, who was lost in thought, heard this and looked towards the camera. His lips moved slightly, pursing his lips.
“Alright, here.” Sun Yuan took the photo very perfunctorily and handed the camera back to Song Cun.
“Song Cun, come and help take a photo!” A familiar classmate called him.
“Coming!” Song Cun removed his hand from Yun Fang’s shoulder and ran over.
The weight on his shoulder lightened, and Yun Fang subconsciously looked in the direction of Song Cun.
The malice in Sun Yuan’s eyes was not concealed at all, “Cousin, you ranked first in the city in the middle school entrance exam, that’s really amazing.”
“Hmm.” Yun Fang was always indifferent to this cousin, his gaze still falling on Song Cun.
“Cousin, you like Song Cun, don’t you? I’ll call him over later and you can tell him.” Sun Yuan lowered his voice.
Yun Fang was taken aback, “You——”
“How did I know?” Sun Yuan smiled, “Last time I went to your house to play, I accidentally flipped through your diary. Tsk tsk, the writing of the city’s top scorer is really good, I was almost moved to tears.”
Anger emerged in Yun Fang’s eyes, “How could you flip through my diary?”
Sun Yuan knew he had the upper hand, and was not afraid at all, “Your drawer wasn’t locked, doesn’t that mean you don’t mind others seeing it?”
Yun Fang glared at him angrily.
“Hey, don’t look at me like that, I didn’t tell anyone.” Sun Yuan said with a grin, “You’re my brother after all. I think you should take advantage of today and confess to Song Cun. Once this opportunity is gone, there won’t be another one. Even if both of you go to No.1 High School, you won’t be in the same class. Maybe the next time you see Song Cun, he’ll already have a girlfriend.”
“You don’t need to worry about it.” Yun Fang said angrily.
“Tsk, if you don’t go, I’ll shout it out now.” Sun Yuan said smugly, “Then all the teachers and students will know! Cousin, I’m helping you. If no one pushes you, Song Cun will never know you like him in his lifetime.”
Yun Fang frowned.
“Go to the small woods behind the playground, I’ll call Song Cun over in a while.” Sun Yuan said with an innocent smile, “Cousin, you don’t want the teachers and students to know about this, do you? And Auntie and Uncle?”
Yun Fang’s face turned very ugly.
Before long, Song Cun was dragged into the small woods by Sun Yuan.
“Hey, what’s going on?” Song Cun looked at Yun Fang with a smile, “What do you need from me? Why so secretive?”
“I…” Yun Fang gritted his teeth and looked at the person in front of him, “I have something to tell you.”
Sun Yuan had left the woods at some point.
The surroundings were quiet, with only Song Cun and Yun Fang left.
“Song Cun, I…” Yun Fang pursed his lips, his voice somewhat low, “I like you, will you be my boyfriend?”
Song Cun was stunned when he heard this, then he laughed, “Are you joking? Did you lose some kind of truth or dare game with Sun Yuan?”
“It’s not a joke.” Yun Fang stared at him seriously, “I like you, Song Cun.”
Song Cun was stunned on the spot.
“Wow, wow, wow——”
“Eh——”
“Oh my god, kiss, kiss!”
Who knew how long those people had been hiding there, a slow jeering came from behind the bushes.
It was a few bad students from the class, and a group of Sun Yuan’s friends.
“Wow, the city’s top scorer! The city’s top scorer is gay!”
“Damn, it’s the first time I’ve seen this, the mind of a good student is really different from ours!”
“Damn, I’ve never seen two men kiss before, you two kiss! Kiss!”
“Kiss, hahaha!”
“Damn, it’s really disgusting! Homosexuality is perversion, Yun Fang is a pervert!”
“Alas——Yun Fang and Song Cun, hahaha!”
Song Cun’s face turned pale instantly, “No, I’m not——I don’t know anything, I don’t like men! I’m not a pervert!”
Someone stood shoulder to shoulder with Sun Yuan, “Damn, Sun Yuan, the explosive news you said is really explosive!”
“Yun Fang, say something? Tell us, the city’s top scorer?” Someone saw Yun Fang standing there without speaking or moving, and pushed him.
“Damn, don’t touch him randomly, what if this thing is contagious? What if you start liking men too?” Someone jeered.
“Pah, pah, pah!” That person wiped his hand on his clothes in disgust.
At this point, Yun Fang looked at Song Cun calmly, “What you just said, was it true?”
A crowd of people watched the drama around them.
“Of course it’s true!” Song Cun took two steps back, his face full of disgust, “I don’t like men, and I don’t engage in homosexuality, I won’t be with a pervert!”
“Yun Fang, you’re really disgusting.”
Yun Fang heard Song Cun say this.
The once high and mighty top student of the grade, the child in the mouths of parents and teachers, who always accepted countless admirations with pride and restraint, now stood in front of them, his face pale and defeated.
It seemed that he was nothing more than that.
The affection of young people is always straightforward and passionate, without any explanation.
The malice of young people is also always the most straightforward and unmasked. This kind of overly pure malice is often sharper than that of adults.
The pride of heaven was mocked and ridiculed by them, unable to fight back, falling from the clouds into the mud and being despised by everyone. The jealousy and anger that had been suppressed in the heart before poured out, and it was unstoppable.
Someone pointed a camera at Yun Fang, “Hahaha, number one, number one, let’s interview you, what does it feel like to be a gay pervert?”
"Who have you slept with before?"
"Have you ever slept with a teacher?"
"Damn, the sissy in Class 6 is definitely a homosexual. You two must be a couple. What's that sissy’s name?"
"His name is Wei He, Wei He!"
"Yun Fang must have slept with Wei He!"
"Maybe he's also slept with that Zi Donghai guy too!"
"Damn it, this is disgusting. What's f*cking the difference between this and ***."
"Yun Fang, speak up!"
"Damn it, you f*cking dare to hit me!"
Yun Fang had never been in a fight before. He was furious to the extreme, wishing he could kill the people in front of him, but he could only curl up as he was beaten by a group of people.
Someone stepped on his face and spat at him, “Pah! You disgust me!”
“Would homosexuals have a different body structure than us?” someone asked maliciously.
“Damn, take a picture of him, didn’t we bring a camera?”
“Get away! Don’t touch me!” Yun Fang struggled desperately, but he was held down and couldn’t move.
“Song Cun!” Yun Fang looked at the person standing in the distance with bloodshot eyes.
Song Cun instinctively took a step back.
“Hey, don’t touch him, it’s contagious!”
“Let Song Cun come! Hahaha let Song Cun undress him for us to take photos!”
Song Cun was pushed stumblingly to Yun Fang’s side.
“Song Cun, didn’t you say you’re not? Come, it’s time to prove yourself!”
"Ah, ah, ah, my heart hurts Haha, my heart hurts!"
"I'm not!" Song Cun shouted, reaching out to Yun Fang's clothes.
"Song Cun!!" Yun Fang shouted, his face covered in mud and grass. His eyes, which had always been calm and gentle, were now on the verge of bleeding, unable to distinguish if there was more disbelief or anger.
"Hurry up, Song Cun. If you don't, we'll tie you two up together. Haha!"
Song Cun's hand was shaking, saying, "I'm sorry, Yun Fang, I'm sorry... I'm sorry... but I'm not a pervert, I'm not!"
The sound of the camera clicking echoed in Yun Fang's ear——
****
Yun Fang listened expressionlessly as Song Cun finished speaking.
With a face full of shame, Song Cun said, “Yun Fang, I’m really sorry. I tried to destroy those photos later, no one will know…you were just photographed, can we let this go?”
“Just?” Yun Fang hadn’t felt such intense anger for a long time. He sneered at Song Cun, “You’re even worse than I thought.”
The original Sugar, such a proud and clean boy, gave his wholehearted sincerity to such a piece of trash, and was still laughed at by the trash.
Without Song Cun saying, he also knew what kind of fear and struggle the original Yun Fang had experienced. He lived in trepidation every day, finally collapsed and couldn’t hold on, and tentatively sought help from Tang Yi and Yun Heyu.
At that time, Tang Yi and Yun Heyu didn’t know that their son was already at a dead end, nor did they know that their attitude might be the only lifesaving straw their son could grasp.
The original Yun Fang disguised too well, he seemed so calm and composed, as if he just wanted to talk openly about something with them as usual, but he forgot that his parents were limited in their knowledge, and the feudal ideas accumulated over the years could not be changed in a short time.
He finally found the reason to give up.
He would rather choose to leave this world because of his parents’ opposition and disgust, and didn’t want to admit that he was defeated and exited miserably by a group of irrelevant people full of malice.
He just disappointed his parents and his grades slipped, that’s all.
Now Yun Fang finally understood the discordance in that suicide note–that was the pride a boy wanted to retain until death.
He wanted to leave this world proudly, so he chose the person closest to him to be the murderer.
He was so disgusted that he didn’t even want to mention the real murderer.
“Song Cun, you, Sun Yuan, and those people are all murderers.” Yun Fang’s expression was cold, “You make me feel sick.”
“But what else do you want!” Song Cun was somewhat collapsed, “I have apologized to you countless times, and tried my best to destroy those photos. I tried my best to please you hoping you could forgive me, but look at it now, I invite you out to play, but you are thinking about fighting! You have long changed your heart! You don’t have me in your eyes at all!”
Yun Fang punched him in the face.
This punch was extremely powerful, Song Cun lay on the ground and couldn’t get up for a while, he covered his bleeding mouth and looked at Yun Fang incredulously, “You dare to hit me!?”
“If I could, I really want to kill you.” Yun Fang grabbed his collar and lifted him up, and then another punch, “You make me feel sick, I haven’t been so disgusted by someone for a long time.”
Song Cun was beaten without the power to fight back, “Yun Fang, are you crazy!”
“Don’t shout that name, you’re not worthy.” Yun Fang punched him in the nose, grabbed his hair and made him lift his head to look at himself.
Song Cun’s eyes were black, and his face was full of blood.
Yun Fang kicked him in the shin, Song Cun howled in pain, kneeling on the ground.
“Apologize.” Yun Fang squatted down and stared at him with a gloomy look, “Apologize to me properly, apologize to Yun Fang.”
