「哈哈哈！哈哈哈！」
教室裡所有人都在笑。
阿宇跌倒了，膝蓋擦破皮，在流血，看起來很痛的樣子。可是沒有人攙扶他，所有人都在笑，笑得最大聲的就是阿凱。
阿宇尷尬地看著大家，也忍不住笑了笑，眼眶卻紅了。他自己爬起來，回到座位上，用衛生紙胡亂擦著流血的傷口，低著頭，不讓別人看到他的眼淚。
這樣的事情每天都要上演。
冬冬看著阿宇發抖的背影，看著阿凱反覆模仿阿宇跌倒時的姿勢，還有哄堂大笑的同學們，小小的臉皺在一起。168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirDkma75LR
「好了，上課了。」老師走進教室，問，「大家為什麼笑這麼開心？」
「阿宇剛剛跌倒了！」阿凱搶著說話，模仿阿宇跌倒的姿勢，「嘩！」
阿凱的表情很誇張，動作很好笑，大家都在笑，老師也笑了。
「阿宇怎麼這麼不小心？」老師問，「有沒有受傷？」
「沒……」阿宇仰起頭，硬是擠出一抹笑，「我沒事，是我不小心……」
只有坐在後面的冬冬看見阿宇的肩膀在發抖。168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BQNqKxbGt
冬冬覺得很生氣，卻不知道怎麼表達。
下課鐘響後，阿凱顯然還沒玩夠。他走到阿宇座位旁，踢了一下阿宇的桌子，嘲諷地說：「欸，剛剛跌倒那招很帥喔，再來表演一次啊！」 168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJnH0AmzYH
周圍的人又開始起鬨。冬冬感覺到胸口那股火在燒，但她也看到阿凱壯碩的手臂，還有周圍一圈隨之起舞的同學。她知道，如果她衝過去大喊「你們很過分」，大家只會覺得她很奇怪，甚至連她也一起嘲笑。168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvN7yrP037T
阿凱看到冬冬盯著她看，挑釁地問：「喂！冬冬，你剛剛沒看到嗎？超好笑的！」168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfRnVM80mp
所有人的目光集中在冬冬身上。冬冬看著阿凱那張志得意滿的臉，又看了看阿宇縮得小小的、幾乎要消失的背影。168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCbS5NvPFf
她慢慢地站起來，深吸一口氣。沒有罵人，也沒有動手，只是平靜地看著阿凱，臉上的肌肉一動也不動，嘴唇抿成一條堅定的直線。
「不好笑。」冬冬的聲音不大，但說得很清晰。168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6ZiJ8BFq5
阿凱愣住了，隨即惱羞成怒。168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3Y9jquxFz
「你裝什麼高尚啊？就你沒幽默感！」168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7MjXMHeIS
阿凱開始變本加厲地表演，試圖挽回被冬冬打壞的氣氛。168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCed79Vuvi
但奇怪的事情發生了。168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2wmPqffR6
因為冬冬那種「堅定不笑」的眼神，本來在笑的小君看到冬冬的表情後，笑聲尷尬地止住了。她低下頭，開始整理自己的書包。接著，阿凱身邊的小翔也轉過身去，圍在阿凱身旁的人漸漸地散了。168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmAAGWl1W1
原本「理所當然」的笑聲，因為冬冬一個人的沈默，開始出現了裂縫。阿凱的表演越來越尷尬，動作也越來越生硬，最後他只能揮揮手說：「哼！真沒意思。」然後悻悻然走開。168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HWoMdRud7
冬冬回到位置上，從書包裡掏出媽媽給她的可愛OK繃，放到阿宇桌上。阿宇仰起頭看著冬冬，那一刻，阿宇的肩膀停止了發抖。168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26RLtwx6KE
冬冬不是超人，但這一天，她成為了阿宇的英雄。
有時候，我們不需要當與巨龍對抗的勇者，我們只需要當一個拒絕為巨龍鼓掌的平民，就能為世界守住一份希望。168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfe5nAtUbW

"Hahaha! Hahaha!"
The classroom was erupting with laughter.
Yu had fallen. His knee was scraped and bleeding, looking painful. But no one went to help him. Instead, everyone was laughing, and the loudest laugh came from Kai.
Yu looked at everyone awkwardly and forced a smile, though his eyes were turning red. He scrambled to his feet, returned to his desk, and hurriedly dabbed at the blood with a tissue. He kept his head low, hiding the tears that were starting to well up.
This happened almost every day.
Dong watched Yu’s trembling back, then looked at Kai, who was repeatedly mimicking the fall. Seeing her classmates roaring with laughter, Dong’s small face tightened into a frown.
"Alright, class is starting," the teacher said, walking in. "What is everyone laughing about?"
"Yu just fell!" Kai shouted, mimicking the clumsy stumble again. "Whoosh!"
Kai’s expression was exaggerated and his movements were comical. Everyone laughed again, and even the teacher joined in.
"Yu, why were you so careless?" the teacher asked. "Are you hurt?"
"No..." Yu looked up, squeezing out a forced grin. "I’m fine. It was just my own fault..."
Only Dong, sitting in the back, noticed that Yu’s shoulders were shaking. She felt a surge of anger, but she didn’t know how to voice it.
When the bell rang, Kai clearly wasn't finished. He walked over to Yu’s desk, kicked it, and sneered, "Hey, that move you did earlier was so cool. Why don't you perform it for us again?"
The crowd began to cheer. Dong felt a fire burning in her chest, but she saw Kai’s strong arms and the circle of classmates eager to follow his lead. She knew that if she rushed over and screamed, "You're being mean!" they would only think she was strange, and she might become the next target.
Kai noticed Dong staring at him. He asked provocatively, "Hey! Dong, didn't you see that? It was hilarious!"
All eyes turned to her. Dong looked at Kai’s face, then at Yu’s hunched back, which looked as if it were trying to disappear.
She stood up slowly and took a deep breath. She didn't shout; she didn't lash out. She simply looked at Kai calmly, her facial muscles perfectly still, her lips pressed into a firm, steady line.
"It’s not funny," Dong said. Her voice wasn't loud, but it was crystal clear.
Kai froze, his face flushing with sudden irritation.
"What, you think you’re better than us? You have zero sense of humor!"
Kai began to perform even more wildly, trying to win back the atmosphere Dong had broken. But something strange happened.
Because of Dong’s "determined silence," Jun, who had been laughing, caught sight of Dong’s expression. Her laughter died down awkwardly. She lowered her head and began organizing her bag. Then, Hsiang, who was standing right next to Kai, turned away as well. One by one, the circle around Kai began to drift apart.
The laughter that had felt "only natural" moments ago began to crack because of one person’s silence. Kai’s performance grew more awkward, his movements stiff. Finally, he just waved his hand dismissively. "Hmph! This is boring," he muttered, walking away sullenly.
Dong went back to her seat, pulled a cute bandage her mother had given her from her bag, and placed it on Yu’s desk. Yu looked up at her. At that moment, his shoulders stopped trembling.
Dong wasn't a superhero. But on that day, she was Yu’s hero.
Sometimes, we don’t need to be the brave warrior who slays the dragon. We only need to be the ordinary person who refuses to applaud for the dragon to keep hope alive in this world.
