Dusk falls in the west, and night falls.
The outdoor lights suddenly turned on, illuminating the huge swimming pool in the backyard of the villa like daylight.
"Everyone, please be quiet. Our friend has something to say! Everyone must listen attentively, otherwise you will get in trouble with me and get out of the party immediately!"
Bob Lowe casually turned off the speaker that was playing cool music, and raised his hand to suppress the boiling noise.
The hundreds of partygoers around the pool immediately shut up and remained quiet, turning their eyes to a stiff little man standing on a lounge chair.
Everyone was waiting for his speech.
"Last, it's your turn, speak the truth boldly, don't be afraid, I'll support you!"
Bob Lowe gave him an encouraging look.
The boy took a deep breath and scanned the young faces below, including black, white, and Asian.
Most of them had a joke in their eyes, exactly the same as in the past few years. No one took him as a marginalized person and a transparent person seriously.
But he didn't know if the effect of the drunkenness not long ago was still continuing. He was feeling hot all over.
The childish yet meaningful detective actions with Dean these past few days flashed through my mind inexplicably, and unprecedented courage suddenly filled my body.
Rust only felt that it was nothing more than that.
Nothing more.
I am fearless,
"Good evening everyone, I'm Rusty Spencer from eleventh grade..."
The mixture of coldness, excitement, and fear made his lips and voice tremble slightly.
"I know that in your eyes, I am just a nerd, a weirdo with no athletic talent and uncoordinated body, and an unpopular little wretch."
"You are somewhat self-aware!"
A big, muscular man waved his fist threateningly.
"Master Herring! You must kneel down and apologize to me for what you did that day! At least you must bow to me and admit your mistake!"
Karen Takei, who came from a family of craftsmen, glared at him.
But Rust ignored him and said to himself,
"In the past week, Dean and I got into some trouble, which caused some bad effects on everyone..."
"Dean is more shameless than you. He sneak attacked and beat up several people!"
A skinny white man who looked like a drug addict raised his middle finger.
"That disgusting chinaman should have been kicked out of Las Vegas!"
A bunch of people shouted.
"Let him go!"
The baseball players immediately burst into enthusiastic response and ignored the ugly-faced Asian students in the crowd.
Of course, there were also a few Asian faces who cheered along with the white people.
"Shut up, racist, and stop discriminating against my guests!"
Bob laughed and cursed,
The thin white man shrugged.
"Here, on behalf of myself and Dean, I would like to sincerely apologize to the innocent people who have been affected recently!"
Rust emphasized the word "innocent" in particular.
"Stop talking nonsense, Rust. Get to the point!"
Bob lowered his voice and warned.
Rust nodded, a trace of determination flashed in his eyes,
"Thank you Boss Bob for giving me this opportunity to correct my mistakes. Now, I will expose all the shameless crimes of my good brother Dean in the past!"
The students all quietly pricked up their ears, looking forward to the funny, comical, and brotherly antagonism scenes.
Poor Asians, in the end, were betrayed and betrayed by their most trusted brother.
Bob crossed his arms and smiled.
"The most outrageous thing Dean did wrong was that he defended himself when faced with threats! As a Chinese, he shouldn't have fought back when people laughed at him as a nerd, called him chingchong, and insulted his missing parents in person! "
Rust said a long paragraph in one breath, and after finishing speaking, he took a long breath.
The atmosphere suddenly became weird, and many people looked confused.
This guy is really blaming his good brother for his crimes. Why does it sound a little wrong?
"Dean shouldn't be hanging out on display at the baseball diamond..."
Rust turned his head and glanced coldly at Bob and the stunned baseball players. A sarcastic smile appeared on his embarrassed face.
"Dean should lie on the ground, motionless like a dead man and let you punch and kick him! When you are done venting, like the Japanese, he will drag his scarred body to express his gratitude to you!"
"Dean is so wrong! It's an unforgivable crime! He should be punished and go to heaven after his death!"
Wow--
The crowd suddenly exploded, bursts of incredible exclamations rang out
Is this guy blaming his brother?
He was clearly mocking Bob.
But when did Rust, who was known to be timid, become so bold?
"Shut up, you idiot. Your brain is cramped. What nonsense are you talking about?"
The hairy Crusoe cursed,
"Quiet! Rust was just joking with everyone, man, it's time to get down to business!"
But Bob held back his anger, his eyes piercing him like daggers,
"Reformulate your language and be more serious. There are hundreds of people on the field. You can't afford the consequences of deceiving everyone."
"Haha, thank you Bob for generously giving me a second chance! Let me have the opportunity to speak my mind to everyone!"
Rust's eyes quickly scanned the people below,
"I know that many of you are just like me and Dean. You have endured countless times of malice, ridicule, exclusion, isolation, and bullying from other peers!"
"Aldrich!" Rust suddenly reached out and pointed to the crowd, a little man with red hair and freckles on the bridge of his nose. The latter was shocked all over, standing there stupidly, looking around with a blushing face, and wanted to Find a crack in the ground and crawl in, "Have you forgotten the evil he did to you in the bathroom last month? You don't dare to say a word, and no one is brave enough to stand up and say justice to you!" "
"But now I want to say that Klose is a piece of shit. He should be stuffed into the toilet and flushed into the sewer!"
The crowd was in an uproar.
A redneck in swimming trunks rushed toward him.
Rust jumped onto another deck chair to get out of the way and continued shouting,
"Britney! She gets an A in every subject, listens attentively in class, and is loved by all the teachers. But those women who are busy dating, smoking weed, and getting bad grades are jealous of you, can't stand you, and spread the word about you everywhere. Engage in male-female relations!”
Below, a beautiful girl wearing a slim-fitting sweater turned pale and stood there helplessly. The eyes around her seemed to be full of malice, cutting her to pieces like knives.
She couldn't help but tremble.
"But we all know that you are a devout Catholic!"
"But few people listen to your explanation! Many idiots are willing to believe those stinky bitches!"
Wow wow——
Several women in swimsuits in the crowd cursed angrily at Rust.
"Aldrich, Britney...all those who seem weak and can be bullied, what did you do wrong?"
"Who did you offend whom?"
Rust dodges the redneck's attack and jumps into the pool!
"Your only mistake is-"
Rust was floating on the water, his voice was hoarse, and the veins in his neck were protruding...
"You remained silent in the face of the perpetrators, and you cowardly endured all the unjust atrocities!"
"All bystanders, people who are indifferent to evil deeds, when you, your brothers, sisters, and good friends are also bullied, can you still laugh?"
The mockery on the theatergoers' faces hardened.
"Social order has completely collapsed. Honest people are being bullied and looked down upon!"
"The disgusting abuser is actually very popular and loved. Look, so many people came to Bully Bob's birthday party. Have you forgotten the past when you were blackmailed and beaten by his followers?"
Shut up!
Bob winked grimly.
Crash, water splashed everywhere.
A group of baseball players jumped into the swimming pool and swam quickly towards Rust!
"But now someone finally stood up, my good brother Dean, and fought back hard against Bob's evil deeds, beating this perverted rich second-generation man to pieces! His arrogance was weakened! Justice was served. justice!"
"What did he do wrong? He was right. What was wrong was the bullies and you who succumbed to violence! Why should Dean have to bear the humiliation and infamy!"
Among the crowd, a few people who were always in the minority lowered their heads and quietly clenched their fists.
"Dean taught me to resist! Only by facing fear can we defeat fear!"
Rust moved his hands and slowly swam to the corner of the swimming pool.
But he was surrounded and had no way to retreat.
"Even if we die together! I will stand here and use my own way to make this group of shameful villains, perpetrators, and bully trash pay the price!"
"We all have parents and brothers, and we are all flesh and blood people. Why should we be bullied by others! Are we still going to be silent? Continue to be a coward, a coward... and will always be ridiculed - "
Well--
Rust's voice stopped abruptly.
Some people moved their lips, showing unbearable expressions, but in the end they followed the crowd and did not speak.
This is Bob's territory, what can they do?
A moment later, Rust, who was all wet, was dragged ashore like a dead dog!
boom!
Poof!
Rust spat and his body trembled.
"Idiot, pretending to be a hero on my territory? It's cool, right?"
Bob's face was gloomy, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
But in full view of the public, he could only suppress his anger temporarily.
Patted his bruised cheek.
"Throw this garbage out, don't let it pollute the floor of my house."
A group of people pushed him to the ground, then set him up and pulled him out.
During the whole process, the crowd around the swimming pool fell into an eerie calm, and the students' eyes became strange.
"Boss Bob! I was wrong, I was wrong... Wuwu..." Rust seemed to suddenly give in and cried bitterly, "I still have something to say to you..."
"etc."
Bob thought for a while and came closer to Rust.
"Pooh!"
A mouthful of bloody phlegm hit Bob on the left side of his face.
Rust grinned happily,
My heart yelled, Dean, I can only help you so far.
Bob wiped his face, then went to Rust's ear expressionlessly and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear,
"Rust, I remember you had a beautiful single mother, Grace?"
Bob's soft words made Rust's face change greatly, and he was horrified.
Bob waved his hand and was pulled away.
"Sorry to disturb everyone's fun with a boring piece of rubbish, but I promise it won't happen again!"
"Now, put on the music, start dancing, drink beer happily, and let's continue HAPPY."
"Please excuse me for a moment while I come into the house to clean up."
