Thinking of this, Shi Nian became even more certain of her deduction.
The details of Jack's appearance grew clearer in her mind little by little —
His hairstyle, almost like that of a girl's, halfway to long.
The shy expression he often wore on his face.
He was always the first to get up every morning, avoiding everyone's gaze as he quietly slipped out for a run, rain or shine.
In the darkness, Shi Nian smiled quietly: "That's right, S and Marina bullied you too. Even though you're a guy, even though the two of them seem to never bully boys— but with you, it's different. Because they never saw you as a boy to begin with."
Shi Nian thought about how, even though S was sexually assaulted before she died, no trace of a man was found, and even Tang Yanqing said, "It might not have been a man"...
She took a deep breath: "Jack, are you— ED?"
.
"Enough! Stop talking!" Jack growled low, pulling the headband taut with both hands.
