FP-Gloam: Who is the bully and who should be blamed?
Lin An also forwarded a post, which was a screenshot of a video of Li Song leading a small group to bully classmates in school in his early years.
Lin An’s influence in the e-sports circle is far greater than that of He Chen.
He doesn’t need to put complete evidence, he just needs to post a primer, and naturally some netizens will dig out the cocoons to find the truth.
They easily found the original video and matched the identity of the whistleblower with the bully in the video.
Of course, what happened to Hechen in school was no secret.
[So Dawn is still the one being bullied…]
[Some people are actually bullying in the name of justice.】
[The deceased has passed away. Both parties have lost their loved ones. Hechen’s family is not the perpetrator of the accident. Isn’t it a bit too arbitrary to point the finger at him alone?】
[I was still supporting the families of the victims before, but now I have read the whole thing… The victims certainly deserve sympathy, but their tragedy was indeed not caused by He Chen. It is indeed inappropriate to chase him alone to explain.】
[Because he is rich and famous, he deserves to be targeted.】
Public opinion turned again, but He Chen didn’t go online at all, but he didn’t go back to the dormitory either.
In the evening after the competition, the base usually gives the players a night off to allow them to adjust to their condition.
Lin An walked around the base for a while, and finally found He Chen on the balcony on the second floor.
Hechen was leaning against the railing alone, listening to the sound of rain. His profile looked very lonely.
Lin An’s arrival interrupted his daze.
He Chen waited for Lin An to ask him, but Lin An just threw a can of milk over.
The milk has been heated and is warm in your hand.
The rain hadn’t stopped yet, and the steamy breeze ruffled a strand of He Chen’s hair. He raised his hand to hold it back, and the fingertips that brushed against the side of his snow-white face felt warm.
Lin An looked at him for a moment and suddenly said: “His hair has grown.”
“…Really?” He Chen stroked the end of his hair without much care, and the small mole on the back of his neck was looming.
Lin An rested his arms on the railing and didn’t say anything. He just watched him quietly drinking milk in small sips.
During this period of intense competition, He Chen also lost a lot of weight.
The originally palm-sized face has a narrower jaw and a pointed chin.
Lin An looked at him, his eyes were always moist, looking at him unpreparedly, like a newborn deer.
Lin An’s heart felt like it was wrapped and tightened by silk threads, and there was a slight pain.
Hechen finished drinking the milk and was looking for a place to throw away the empty jar. As soon as he turned around, he was pulled into a warm embrace.
The thin chin rested on Lin An’s shoulder, feeling a little awkward.
He Chen didn’t expect him to make such a move, and he didn’t even have time to struggle.
A muffled laugh sounded in Lin An’s ears, and warm breath hit the side of his neck.
“What are you laughing at?”
He Chen stroked his collar and asked in a low voice, “Are your clothes expensive?”
Lin An: “…”
“Milk got on your clothes, let me wash them for you.”
Lin An laughed.
Speaking of which, it seems that since Hechen moved into the base, the above conversation has happened frequently.
Lin An raised the hand that was stroking the end of his long hair, pinched his cheek, and said deliberately: “It’s very expensive. You have no money now. You definitely can’t afford to pay for the clothes. Pay me something else.”
He Chen lay on his shoulder, the hand holding his shoulder tightened, but the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
“Do you want to ask me why I gave her money?”
Lin An paused and rubbed his head.
Lin An had mentioned to He Chen more than once before that he could help him find a lawyer to resolve this matter.
Of course He Chen knew that he meant well, but he still refused.
“Why would I continue to support the sister of the lady who died in a car accident after paying a large amount of compensation…”
Hechen thought back to what happened many years ago and what he thought at the time.
Those things seemed to have passed so long ago, so long that the scenes where he couldn’t control his emotions even when he thought about them began to blur.
“Where to start… Actually, I met her at my dad’s funeral.”
“She was pushed to the front by her parents, a very young girl, crying that she had no sister.”
“I also heard her parents scolding her. There was one less earner in the family, and they asked her to drop out of school and do housework at home and take care of her younger siblings.”
“My sister is the only one who treats her well and makes money to pay for her school expenses. Without her, it will be a devastating blow to her life.”
“No matter what, my situation at the time was better than hers. I couldn’t really watch her rot.”
“After all, her sister did encounter such a thing because she took my family’s car.”
This was all the thoughts of the young Hechen at that time.
There was no resentment or unwillingness, he just didn’t want a girl who lost her sister to be unable to read.
“Of course, I later learned that she had a phone call with her sister before the car accident, and that there was a default call recording setting. But her parents didn’t allow her to take it out, so I made a deal with her.”
“I should, I did the right thing, right?”
He Chen buried his face on Lin An’s shoulder, as if asking for his opinion.
Lin An looked at him, but felt unable to judge.
Lin An couldn’t help but make assumptions. In fact, he would rather He Chen didn’t care about anything and just focused on himself.
He may not be strong or have no sense of responsibility.
A young man doesn’t have to be admired by others, and he doesn’t have to get rid of the bad reputation of his deceased family members. That way he will feel much better.
But unlike the temperament he showed, He Chen had a very soft heart.
Even though he is stigmatized, He Chen has always been a gentleman.
Even though he had just lost his father, he was still such a young person at the time.
Lin An didn’t want to admire his bravery, he would only feel sorry for his hard work.
“Change the subject?” Lin An didn’t want him to recall these things anymore, so she raised her body slightly and scratched his nose, “You haven’t said anything yet, what can you do to me?”
“I really don’t have any money. You won’t be able to appreciate my own clothes worth tens of dollars.” He Chen said frankly.
Lin An thought of something, “Speaking of which, do you still owe me a meal?”
“What kind of food?” He Chen was stunned for a moment.
“Little swan.” Lin An hugged his back and made a circling gesture.
He Chen immediately remembered the incident in that Internet celebrity restaurant when he first invited Lin An to dinner. When he met Lin An’s serious gaze, he couldn’t help it and laughed out loud.
The two of them laughed at each other for a long time as if they were sick.
He Chen wiped away the tears that seeped out of the corners of his eyes. He looked into Lin An’s eyes, which were like flawless black gems.
He was as focused and serious as if he was solving a calculus equation, and there was a trace of trouble and determination on his face.
“I don’t have anything valuable… I’ll just give you a favor, okay?”
This time it was Lin An’s turn to be stunned.
Seeing that Hechen was young, he felt pity for his situation and always felt that he was not good enough for him.
So whether it’s career or relationship, he is willing to go ahead of He Chen.His feelings for He Chen had already been made clear, so it didn’t matter if he opened his heart to He Chen and kneaded it.
He Chen didn’t have a normal family life and didn’t know how to deal with emotions, so Lin An just waited for him. Lin An accepted all his hesitations and confusions, and it didn’t matter how long he wanted to think about it.
Lin An was willing.
He didn’t react for a long time. He Chen stood up from him and poked Lin An’s heart with his fingers.
“What? Are you regretting it? Are you still not satisfied?”
Lin An subconsciously took him back, and He Chen didn’t struggle and let him hold him obediently.
Lin An touched his cheek, which was a little cold, “…Does this mean you are willing to be with me?”
“Ah, what else?” He Chen rolled his eyes.
After Lin An told him that she liked him, although he didn’t understand how boys got together, he could feel Lin An’s unabashed affection from the previous moments.
He also gradually understood what the throbbing in his heart from time to time meant when he was with Lin An.
What are the reasons for the unwillingness, longing, possessiveness, and hidden pain that are difficult to express when facing Lin An.
He didn’t hang Lin An on purpose, he enjoyed his efforts and took it for granted.
He just wanted to give Lin An unreserved affection after seeing himself clearly.
Just like his father did to his mother.
Lin An leaned over slightly and placed a kiss on the side of his face.
He Chen felt a little itchy, so he laughed and was a little curious, and asked him with his fingers: “Now that I think about it, you would hug me when comforting me before, eat supper with me alone, decorate the room for me, prepare birthday gifts for me, remember what I like to eat and what I don’t like…”
“It seems to be no different from falling in love.”
“Is that what you think?” Lin An raised his eyebrows.
“Well…” He Chen was about to speak, but Lin An blocked his words.
The feeling of the lips touching was quite wonderful. He Chen’s heart turned into a puddle of paste and he felt like he was heating up.
His lips and teeth were disobedient and were forced to open under Lin An’s attack. He Chen raised his head helplessly, and his mouth was filled with wet heat.
His breath was gradually being robbed forcefully, and he couldn’t see that his fair face was completely red. He just felt that he was drowning in Lin An’s smell, and his hands were weakly holding on to the clothes on Lin An’s back, like clinging to driftwood in the water.
Time seemed to stand still at this moment, the sound of rain in the ears was no longer noisy, only each other’s hot breathing and heartbeats were left.
When he was let go, He Chen was almost like a toy pendant, completely attached to Lin An’s body.
He held onto Lin An’s shoulders and couldn’t help but take a few deep breaths to calm his overly violent heartbeat.
The collar of Lin An’s T-shirt was torn out of shape by him. He Chen smoothed it out without apology, and found that Lin An’s neck was also stretched with purple veins.
The instigator’s hand was firmly pressed on his waist, not letting him move away at all, but he still asked: “What now? Do you still feel the same as before?”
He Chen almost laughed in anger.
“…You are planning a sneak attack, and of course I know that couples can kiss.”
“Oh.” Lin An hugged him and kissed the mole under his neck.
He Chen didn’t expect this move at all. A numbness ran up his spine, and soon his legs became uncontrollably weak.
Lin An held him firmly and said, “Second sneak attack.”
“Actually, there are other things couples can do. Do you want me to tell you all at once today?” Lin An deliberately teased him.
Most of the time, Hechen behaves like a product on display in the window, completing tasks according to established procedures, and has limited reaction to everything else.
But that doesn’t mean he lacks common sense.
Angry and angry, He Chen refused to express his true thoughts and was unwilling to listen to Lin An’s explanation.
Lin An expressed great regret for this.
But the revelation of his inner thoughts, which even Hechen himself did not expect, diluted the black emotions that had been suppressed in his heart for a long time and could not be resolved.
Like a rusty mechanism soaked with lubricant, he regained his ability to work again.
During the night of exchange of thoughts, He Chen didn’t have many distracted thoughts. He was thinking about the game he lost today and wanted to go back to the training room to review the game again.
But I didn’t expect that the lights inside were bright and no one went to rest.
As soon as he walked outside the door, He Chen heard Fade’s bluffing voice through the crack in the door that was not closed tightly.
“That’s too much to bully. Why are you pointing your gun at Dawn?”
“Is GND sick? Why don’t we fight if you don’t agree with it? Who can be disgusted by the secret poking?”
Qiao Zhi rarely scolded him, “We don’t advocate fighting. If it doesn’t work, don’t move. Lao Tao and I are not afraid.”
Coco had been silent since just now. When Lao Tao came over to take a look, he rolled his eyes and remained silent to suppress his big move.
“Let Manager Qiao take a look at your post before you post it. The wording is inappropriate and will make people catch you. It’s not good for you either.” Lao Tao said.
Coco got used to it, “Is it wrong to say something for my teammates? If you want to find faults, let them do it.”
Venus also chimed in: “That’s right, it’s right and wrong to find fault.”
“Venus, why are you so restless today?” Lao Tao glared at him.
“Are you talking about someone else? Who has been writing, deleting, and writing in the chat box with He Chen since just now?” Qiao Zhi rolled his eyes.
Outside the door, He Chen stood in the shadow of the corner. He took out his mobile phone and found the chat interface with Lao Tao. Sure enough, he saw that the other party showed “typing in progress”.
Lay waited all night and looked at his watch, “Why hasn’t he come back yet? Didn’t the captain go find someone?”
“That’s true…” Qiao Zhi was really worried after finishing handling the public relations matters, “Don’t really let those people get into trouble…”
Lin An and He Chen outside the door heard these words clearly.
Hechen thought of the feeling of being surrounded by water while swimming.
He once thought he was helpless in the water, so he was afraid and could not overcome his psychological barrier.
Later he discovered that even without struggling, the buoyancy of the water could lift him.
Just like now.
He was no longer walking alone.
There was a push from his back, and He Chen turned around. Lin An smiled and pushed him again.
Go forward.
