Rejecting 996, the capital of the whole world is broken

Chapter 38 Hello, my former self, I’m sorry!

"What happened to this child? Was he bullied?"

"It's already past 9pm. Why are you crying on the street instead of going home? I want to go home but I haven't finished get off work yet. You don't know how to cherish me."

"Looking at his age and the time, he must be a college entrance examination candidate who just got out of school! It seems like the college entrance examination season is almost here again."

"Brother Song, go and take a look! If you really encounter bullying, just expose it! We must not let the evildoers get away with it! Crime has nothing to do with age! Besides, we are all adults!"

For a moment, the audience in the live broadcast room were all paying attention to the sobbing big boy.

After all, bullying is a common occurrence, and the outcomes for victims are becoming increasingly bleak.

A dozen years ago, bullying resulted in a beating or some minor injuries at best.

But now, as the times have progressed, many people’s hearts have become even more evil.

What is hurt is no longer just the body, but also the mind and even life!
“Ah!! Up! Up!!”

Suddenly, the big boy in the camera took things out of his bag and threw them out like crazy.

A pen happened to fly in front of Song Wen.

Song Wen instinctively raised his hand and took the carbon pen that had run out of ink.

The older boy didn't notice Song Wen. After throwing a few things, he seemed to have gotten some relief and started sobbing again.

Song Wen looked at the carbon pen in his hand and walked towards the older boy.

"It's not a good idea to litter on the street." Song Wen squatted beside the big boy and handed him the pen.

This position also allowed the audience in the live broadcast room to clearly hear that the big boy was indeed crying, and crying very hard.

The older boy sniffed and raised his head slightly.

This face has a sense of childishness and vicissitudes. If you look closely, it looks like she is 18 or 19 years old, but at first glance, it looks like she is 30 years old.
It's not an exaggeration to say that he has experienced a lot.
The pair of red and swollen eyes stared at Song Wen for a few seconds, but he did not take the pen. Instead, he lowered his eyes sadly: "No, I can't write anymore."

As soon as she finished speaking, tears started to slide down her cheeks, and she buried her head in sobs: "I can't study anymore, I can't study anymore!!"

"It's too difficult! It's really too difficult! I know the college entrance examination is coming soon, but I really have tried my best!"

The older boy's voice became louder and louder, his crying voice full of helplessness and collapse.

It is said that adults collapse in an instant.

This big boy, who has just reached adulthood, is at this moment.

This scene also made hundreds of thousands of viewers in the live broadcast room burst into tears. Everyone not only felt sorry for him, but also felt sorry for themselves who fought a desperate battle back then.

"I am in tears. I understand this feeling. There is no one to talk to, no place to vent. I can't sleep for a few hours a day. Both my mind and body can no longer bear it."

"I feel so bad! I can relate to you! At this stage, it's not a question of whether you can learn or not, it's that you really can't learn anymore. I even tore up books and slapped myself. My nerves were stretched to the limit and I could collapse at any time!"

"When I think about myself ten years ago, those days still occasionally wake me up from my dreams. I never want to experience them again."

"It makes me so sad to see this. I understand that he is under pressure not only from himself but also from his parents. He doesn't want to disappoint his parents, and he doesn't want to be ashamed of their efforts over the years. Only those who have experienced this can truly understand. If I were there, I would definitely hug you."

"Perhaps you can only open your heart to strangers, kid, just try to hold on for now. After this, the next one will come."

Just as the audience said, there are many emotions that cannot be expressed to people close to us, perhaps because of one's own stubbornness, or perhaps because one feels that they cannot empathize with one's feelings.

They may even express opinions that you cannot accept.

In contrast, strangers with whom you have no connection are the best people to confide in.

You don’t care whether strangers can understand you or not, and in most cases people are kind to strangers.

Even if it cannot provide emotional value, it can still serve as a tree hole for people to talk.

At this time, the boy was pouring out his inner pain to the stranger Song Wen. He had collapsed from school, and his mental stress had reached its limit, not only from the test papers and scores, but also from himself.

He said he had tried his best, and the most painful thing was not that he couldn't do it, but that he could have done it.

I could have paid more attention in class, I could have used my meal time to memorize a few more words, I could have slept an hour less every day.

But he didn't do what he could have done.

It's too late now. We have been surpassed by many people. A one-point difference may mean the difference of thousands of people.

The door of the university that should have been open to him was already closing little by little.

He said that if he couldn't get into this university, his parents would be disappointed, his teachers would be disappointed, he would have no dignity, and his future would be bleak.

He also grabbed his hair and said that he was so stupid, and that the oral solution his parents bought for him was so expensive and was wasted. He felt that he could not hold on and was going to die.

When he finished crying, there were several fallen hairs in his hands.

There were two indelible tear marks on that face.

The camera was also shaking slightly. It wasn't because the cameraman was too tired after a day's work to hold on, but because the tough guy had also become soft.

Like most of the audience, he felt sorry for the big boy and also saw his past self.

Especially considering my current identity and position, I may have quietly asked myself, "Hello, 18-year-old me, would you blame me now?"

The older boy's lips were still trembling, and he seemed to have become more fragile after saying so much.

During this time, Song Wen just held the pen and listened, without saying a word or showing any impatience.

After a brief silence, the older boy looked at Song Wen crying.

"Brother, thank you for listening to me for so long. I feel so useless and I feel sorry for everyone."

"Can I hug you bro?"

The big boy's words and request broke the defense of the entire live broadcast room.

Everyone knew that this big boy wanted to use the shoulder of Song Wen, a stranger, to have a good cry.

Everyone knows that this is the first test of adulthood.

Everyone also wanted to cry with the big boy and release those long-pent-up emotions.

Everyone also believes that Song Wen will lend this shoulder and provide the warmth that is needed.

Just as the older boy opened his arms and prepared to hug Song Wen.

Song Wen pressed the pen against the older boy's chest.

"What are you hugging?"

"A grown man is sitting here crying. I thought something terrible had happened to him."

"That's it?"

Suddenly, the older boy was stunned.

The cameraman was stunned, and the audience in the live broadcast room were also stunned.

Time seemed to freeze at this moment.

No one thought that Song Wen's heart would be so hard!
