The sky was bright, but because of the cold weather, the snow on the ground was still hard and squeaky when one stepped on it.
Fang Yan accompanied Chiba Kaoru on a small road in the countryside. The two of them were silent. They could only hear each other's breathing and the sound of the snow under their feet.
Chiba Kaoru was dressed in plain clothes and looked exhausted. There were wrinkles on her knees from kneeling for a long time, and there were some ashes on her hair.
The past two days had really tormented the girl. She hadn't even taken a hot shower until now.
"Are all men like this?" Chiba Kaoru suddenly asked. Although she could already communicate in the Hua Xia language after a long period of hard work, there were still some obstacles when it came to talking about things that were too profound. Therefore, she spoke very slowly. It was as if she was trying very hard to articulate her words.
"What?" Fang Yan thought about it a few times before he understood her question.
"If there's a big country, there's no small family? If there's justice, there's no personal feelings? "Chiba Kaoru asked with reddened eyes. There were many things that she couldn't understand, so she asked her teacher alone. Fang Yan was her language teacher and also the homeroom teacher of Class 9.
"…" Fang Yan was silent. It was too difficult to answer.
"Mr. Fang, is my father really a good person?" Chiba Kaoru asked.
"Yes," Fang Yan said firmly. He had to give a definite answer. Otherwise, the death of Chiba Kaoru would be meaningless. If he couldn't get the forgiveness of his beloved daughter, what was the point of being loved by the whole country? "He's a good person and a great person."
"Then, Mr. Fang, will you be like him? For the country, for justice, you'll sacrifice yourself. You won't care about your wife's loneliness, your children's sorrow, and you'll say goodbye to them forever without saying goodbye? "
Fang Yan thought for a long time and answered honestly, "I can't do it. I'm too greedy. I want to grow old with my wife. I want to be the guardian of my daughter forever. I want to take care of my parents and the old drunkard when they die. So, I won't choose that way. "
Chiba Kaori stopped and looked at Fang Yan. She smiled silently, like a chrysanthemum blooming quietly in the wind.
"Mr Fang, thank you for your answer," Chiba Kaori said softly. "As wives, they hope to have a husband who will never leave them. As children, they want a father who can lean on them — my father was great, but he wasn't a good husband, a good father. "
Fang Yan wanted to say something to comfort her, but it seemed that all words had lost their power.
"Don't try to comfort me, because all consolation is useless. Sadness has always been a personal thing. " Chiba Kaori saw through Fang Yan's hesitant expression and took the initiative to say, "My father is gone, and my mother is going back to China. My brother will also go back. In Japan, he will receive guidance from the seniors in the dojo. My father's death will make him mature, and I believe that he will definitely become an outstanding swordsman. "
"I will stay in Hua Xia to accompany my father. Perhaps his soul has already reached Japan, to the place he fought for his entire life, to the Pheasant Mountain where he diligently practiced his swordsmanship every morning and night. But, his body is still buried here — I want to stay and accompany him. He wasn't a good father, but I still love him as much as before. "
"Will you return to Rosefinch?" Fang Yan asked.
Chiba Kaori shook her head and said, "No."
"I knew it —" Fang Yan sighed softly. Chiba Kaori was an outstanding student and a hardworking one. Because she had just arrived and had a language barrier, she had to understand the meaning of the words before she learned any subject. She had been at the bottom of the class for the previous few exams, but she was already above average for the final exam.
Any responsible teacher would not want to lose a good student in their class.
"Mr. Fang, I don't hate you. I didn't leave Rosefinch because I hate you, "Chiba Kaori said. "I'm just — I'm just afraid. I'm afraid that every time I go to class, I will think of my father when I see you. Until now, I still can't accept the fact that he has left. I can't bear that kind of suffering, and I'm worried that it will make me break down.
"I will leave Rosefinch, and I won't enter any other school. I will learn something that interests me in the future, and my favorite is the tea ceremony — I think that's what my father is happy to see. He wants me to focus on what I like. And I always feel that I still have a lot of time. "
Fang Yan looked at Chiba Kaori with sincerity and said, "I respect your choice. We won't be teacher and student in the future, but we will still be friends — if you need anything, just come to me. "
"No, you will always be my teacher," Chiba Kaori said seriously. "People in Hua Xia believe that a teacher for a day is a father for life. You are my teacher for a day, and you will always be my teacher. I understand everything you have done for my father — perhaps Chiba Haowu doesn't understand it now, but he will one day. He will know how magnanimous he must be to be able to help his opponent like this. "
She bowed deeply to Fang Yan, then jogged toward the dojo.
There, her mother, brother, and Phantom were waiting, waiting to leave Swallow Dock with her. They would stay in Huacheng for a short while, then fly to Japan from there.
To them, it was a sad country.
Her figure was thin, and her long hair was flying. Her back view was so desolate and sorrowful.
She was smart, beautiful, and a girl who had lost her father.
Fang Yan couldn't bear to look at her anymore, so he looked in another direction.
"Hey, are you dumbfounded?" a girl with a rosy face shouted at him.
No matter how bad the haze was, the sudden sight of two bright and beautiful faces would immediately brighten one's mood.
This was a common problem for men.
Two beautiful girls appeared in front of Fang Yan. One was wearing a white shirt, white pants, and a pair of white sports shoes. It was Ye Wen, whom he hadn't seen for a few days. The other one was Leaf, who was wearing a red down jacket, white jeans, and a pair of black leather boots.
They were both young and beautiful. One was elegant, and the other was cute. They were both beautiful.
Seeing Fang Yan looking at them without saying anything, Ye shouted impatiently, "Hey, I'm talking to you. Didn't you hear me? I didn't expect such a beautiful girl to like such a shameless man. There are so many idiots nowadays. "
Ye obviously misunderstood the relationship between Fang Yan and Chiba Kaoru, and regarded Chiba Kaoru's action of running away as Fang Yan's heartless betrayal of girls.
Ye started her studies in Swallow Dock. Because her parents worked in Yan Jing for a long time, she transferred her school registration to Yan Jing City. Although she lived in Yan Jing City, she often went to Swallow Dock. Her growing up was almost the history of Fang Yan's cheap deeds.
The competition between her cousin Ye Rou and Fang Yan every year was the biggest drama of the year that she looked forward to the most. She had watched the competition between Ye Wen and Fang Yan since she was five or six years old, and now she had grown up watching the competition between Ye Wen and Fang Yan.
As a result, she had seen Fang Yan's ugly face, all kinds of shameless expressions, all kinds of funny ways of begging for mercy, and all kinds of ways of running away.
This almost subverted her outlook on life and values. Until now, she was still wondering why a man could have such a shameful side.
Therefore, she wasn't talking nonsense when she said that Fang Yan was a shameless man. It was the result of watching the competition for ten years.
Moreover, because she was the most hardcore audience, she gnashed her teeth at Fang Yan's behavior every time. She was sharp-tongued and liked to sneer at Fang Yan. Fang Yan was not a man who was willing to suffer losses, and his way of fighting back made her so angry that her liver hurt.
In the competition before the New Year, Fang Yan ran away, which made her extremely angry. How could such a guy with no chivalry be her sister's opponent?
Fang Yan was a little angry and said, "You can scold me for being shameless, but don't scold your sister. What's wrong with her liking me?"
In terms of eloquence, ten Yezi were not as good as one Fang Huohuo.
Sure enough, Yezi was ashamed and annoyed. She said angrily, "How can you be so shameless? I'm not talking about my cousin. My sister doesn't like you. "
"How do you know your sister doesn't like me? What if she likes me? You said that those who like me are idiots. Isn't that calling your sister an idiot? " Fang Yan said to Ye Wen, who looked calm and indifferent, as if she didn't care about anything.
"Of course I know. How could I not know? " Yezi reached out and took Ye Wen's arm, saying, "My sister is such an excellent, elegant, and beautiful woman. How could she like a man with no taste, no looks, and a vicious mouth like you? Do you think my sister is blind? "
"Only the person involved knows about this kind of thing. What right do you, an outsider, have to say such things?"
"Okay, then I'll let the person involved tell you personally." Yezi turned around and took Ye Wen's arm, saying, "Sister, tell him. Do you not like him?"
Ye Wen looked at Yezi in silence.
"Sister, just tell him." Yezi showed her divine skill of acting coquettishly again. The girls of Swallow Dock didn't know how to act coquettishly, but they knew how to roll up their sleeves and fight. Yezi had lived in Yan Jing City for a long time, so she learned this powerful skill. She shook her petite body and said, "Sister, say something. Say something. I want him to be convinced of his defeat. "
"I like him," Ye Wen said softly.
In an instant, the wind stopped, the clouds dispersed, and everything was still.
