The weather in Huacheng in September was still very hot. Coming out of the air-conditioned bar, one's skin immediately had a layer of goosebumps upon contact with the outside air.
Very quickly, the heat and sweat mixed together, forming a layer of invisible film. It was like a cocoon wrapped in silk, making people feel suffocated and stifled.
Fang Yan preferred to stay at home at night like this, taking a cold shower and lying in bed with a book or standing in front of the window with a telescope.
The moon decorates your window, you decorate other people's dreams.
Look, poets have so much life experience.
Fang Yan and Jiang Qin walked side by side on the road. Jiang Qin didn't speak, and neither did Fang Yan.
Jiang Qin walked with her head down, kicking a small stone and rolling it forward.
Fang Yan couldn't help but laugh. She really looked like a child.
Of course, in Fang Yan's heart, she was indeed a child.
"What are you laughing at?" Jiang Qin turned to look at Fang Yan, her bright eyes without any impurities. It was good to be young. Her eyes were as clear as a mirror.
"Nothing." Fang Yan shook her head.
"Don't you want to say something?" Jiang Qin asked.
"Say what?"
"What don't you want to ask?"
"Ask what?"
"Tell me, if you weren't here today, how would we deal with this?" Jiang Qin asked.
"Leave. Even if it's a big grievance, leave quickly, "Fang Yan said. "To save your dignity, it will only make you lose more dignity. Not willing to bear the loss will only make you lose more. "
"How can you deal with it in such a straightforward and cool way?" Jiang Qin asked.
"The greater a person's ability, the heavier the responsibility."
"I know, it's a line from Spider-Man."
"But it's not just about Spider-Man, but also Iron Man, Batman, Superman, Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Obama, Fang Yan …"
"You really are shameless." Jiang Qin curled his lips and said.
"This is a serious question. You shouldn't say something so frivolous," Fang Yan said. "This will ruin the atmosphere of our conversation … It's also possible that after we talk tonight, you'll be enlightened, and your life will be different from then on. In the future, when I successfully write my memoirs, I will write that it was a night so serious that even the air froze … "
"What are you trying to say?" Jiang Qin asked.
"Girls shouldn't go to bars," Fang Yan said. "I'm talking about girls who are still in middle school."
"Can't you just say it directly?"
"I'm a teacher. If I speak as poorly as you, wouldn't that be an insult to the profession of a teacher? "
"Fang Yan …"
"Call me Teacher Fang Yan."
"You're so cheap."
"… If you scold me, I'm going to tell your mom that you sneaked out to the bar instead of studying properly."
"I'm going to tell my mom that you touched my ass in a bar."
"…"
Jiang Qin reached out to Fang Yan and said, "Lend me your cell phone."
"What do you want to do?" Fang Yan asked warily.
"I want to call Yuan Lin. My cell phone is out of battery," Jiang Qin said.
Fang Yan handed over his cell phone. Jiang Qin took the cell phone and tapped it quickly.
"What are you doing?" Fang Yan asked.
Jiang Qin threw Fang Yan's cell phone back and said proudly, "I helped you delete Yuan Lin's number. Anyway, I know you don't like her."
"… She saved my cell phone number. What if she takes the initiative to call?"
"You can choose not to answer." Jiang Qin said. He thought that it would be strange if she could call.
…
…
"Shh …" Jiang Qin used the key to open the door and whispered to Fang Yan, "Be careful with your footsteps. My mom might hear you."
"Don't shh. I heard it." Sister Li's voice came from inside the door.
Jiang Qin and Fang Yan looked at each other and helplessly opened the door to the courtyard.
"Mom, why aren't you sleeping?" Jiang Qin stood at the door and greeted Sister Li with a smile.
"Can I sleep?" Auntie Li said in a bad mood. She stared at Fang Yan with an unfriendly look and said to Jiang Qin, "Where did he go?"
"It's all Mr. Fang's fault." Jiang Qin suddenly turned against Fang Yan and said angrily, "We were only halfway through the tutoring when his stomach started growling. He said he wanted to go out and find something to eat. He just came to Huacheng and was unfamiliar with this place. How could I let him go out alone? I brought him out to find something to eat. I wanted to let him eat alone, but when I saw that the food was delicious, I ate it too … "
Jiang Qin patted his flat stomach and said, "I'm stuffed to death. I'm afraid I'll gain a few kilograms. I need to lose weight quickly. "
"Mr. Fang didn't eat his fill tonight?" Sister Li looked at Fang Yan and asked.
Jiang Qin's move was effective. He immediately changed the topic.
Before Fang Yan could answer, Jiang Qin already said, "Mom, are you really stupid or are you pretending to be? Mr. Fang just moved to our house. How could he eat so much in our house? When we were eating supper just now, he said he had to eat three bowls of rice every meal. "
"But he has already eaten three bowls." Sister Li said.
"Ah, no, it's four bowls … Yes, Mr. Fang said he has three bowls at the very least. Usually, he has four to five bowls. He's afraid that you'll laugh at him, so he doesn't want to eat too much. "
Sister Li looked at Fang Yan apologetically and said, "Mr. Fang, aren't you being too polite? Didn't I say it before? We're all family. Why are you being so polite in our house? Don't do it next time. I'll make more food in the future and make sure you're full. "
"Okay, okay." Fang Yan wanted to find a hole to hide in. This Jiang Qin … Did she think he was a pig?
"Make more meat dishes. Mr. Fang said he likes meat," Jiang Qin said.
"No problem." Sister Li laughed. "What's so difficult about it? Have you forgotten what our family does? "
Jiang Qin yawned and said, "I'm full. I'm sleepy. I'm going back to sleep."
"Hey, go to sleep. You still have class tomorrow." Sister Li said.
"Good night, Mr. Fang." Jiang Qin said goodbye to Fang Yan with a wink.
"Good night." Fang Yan waved his hand.
Jiang Qin smiled and walked toward the inner room.
"Wait." Sister Li shouted.
Jiang Qin was shocked. She turned around and complained, "Mom, what are you doing? Are you trying to scare me to death? "
"Sweetheart, your clothes … You weren't wearing this before, right?"
"This is it." Jiang Qin said firmly. "I went upstairs to take a shower and change."
"This is it?"
"This is it."
Sister Li patted her head and sighed. "Menopause … My memory is getting worse."
Jiang Qin walked over and hugged Sister Li's arm. "How can my memory be bad? Why do you never forget to make breakfast for me in the morning? "
"This silly child …" Sister Li hugged her daughter lovingly and said with relief.
Jiang Qin secretly stuck out her tongue at Fang Yan and went back to the room with Sister Li.
"Why does it seem like an affair?" Fang Yan said, wiping the sweat on his forehead.
…
…
When Huang Haoran returned home, his father, Huang Wenqiang, was sitting in the study, working.
As the chief reporter of Hua Xia Metropolis Daily, Huang Wenqiang rarely went to the newspaper office. Most of the time, he was out reporting news and writing manuscripts at home.
"Dad." Huang Haoran stood at the door of the study and gently knocked on the door.
Huang Wenqiang looked up and saw his son. He adjusted his glasses and said with a smile, "Haoran is back."
"Dad, I want to talk to you," Huang Haoran said.
Huang Wenqiang hesitated a little, but he still closed the manuscript in his hand and said, "Let's talk."
He knew his son and knew that his son was very calm. If there was nothing important, his son would not disturb his work. Even though his manuscript was in a hurry, he was still willing to give his son some time.
Huang Haoran walked to the chair opposite his father and sat down. He said, "Dad, I want to ask you to pay attention to an event."
"Oh, what is it?"
"A teacher of Rosefinch Secondary was fired …" Huang Haoran said.
Huang Wenqiang couldn't help laughing and said, "Haoran, don't be ridiculous. Do you know what kind of newspaper Dad works for? If it was just a matter of a teacher being fired from a school, it would be impossible for it to be on the Huaxia Metropolis Daily … Hurry up and wash your face. I'll take you to eat something delicious later. "
"Dad …" Huang Haoran looked at his father stubbornly. "He's different from other teachers."
Huang Wenqiang wanted to say, "As long as it's a teacher of Rosefinch Secondary, it's all the same to me." That was because their newspaper would not publish such trivial news. That would be a waste of space. The editor-in-chief wouldn't approve it either.
However, looking at his son's serious expression and firm eyes, he didn't say it in the end.
"How is he different?" Huang Wenqiang changed his sitting position and asked aloud.
"He was wronged. He was fired because of us. "Huang Haoran's voice was a little emotional. Thinking of what Zheng Guodong and the others said, his heart was filled with anger.
What kind of era was this? Why were bad people always free and unfettered?
After listening to his son's narration, Huang Wenqiang's expression also became solemn.
"How do you want me to help him?" Huang Wenqiang asked aloud.
"Report it." Huang Haoran gritted his teeth and said. "You should seek justice for him in the newspaper. If you don't put some pressure on the school, they won't recruit Mr. Fang again … It's said that the school leaders have already discussed and approved it. "
"If I do this …" Huang Wenqiang looked at his son and said, "Do you know what this will bring to you? The school leaders will look at you with colored glasses, other teachers will also see you as a marginal person because of the attitude of the higher-ups … Are you sure you want to do this? You're still young, there's no need to get involved in such a level of struggle. If there's too much mental pressure, it will affect your academic performance. "
Huang Haoran was silent.
"Think about it carefully." Huang Wenqiang said.
"Dad, I've already thought about it." Huang Haoran's eyes were firm and he said very solemnly, "Mr. Fang is a good teacher. A good person shouldn't be treated like this. "
