"He looks like a dog."
If someone stood on a high place and happened to see his back, would he exclaim like this?
Fang Yan thought, "Definitely."
He had been living under the protection and care of the Fang family. His father was very demanding of him but extremely tolerant. His mother often scolded him but loved him very much. His senior apprentice brother accommodated him and his junior apprentice brother admired him very much. Except for being beaten by the violent woman Ye Rou every year, his life was actually quite stable and peaceful.
His father's scolding was not real, and his senior apprentice brother's beating was not real. His father scolded him fiercely and his senior apprentice brother punched him cruelly, but they never really hurt him.
Those people outside would.
When they praise you, they don't really praise you, but when they scold you, they really scold you. They would hurt him when they hit him, and they would kill him when they stabbed him.
The outside world was very wonderful, and the outside world was also very abnormal.
Fang Yan felt that he was hurt.
"Fang Yan … Fang Yan …" A hurried and sweet voice came from behind.
Fang Yan turned around and looked at Yuan Lin, who was running with a schoolbag on her back, and said, "Why did you run out?"
Without waiting for Yuan Lin to answer, he said, "You should call me Mr. Fang. Fang Yan, Fang Yan … Fang Yan is not for you to call me that. "
"Hoo …" Yuan Lin put her hands on her knees, leaned forward and panted, and said, "I … I don't want to call you Mr. Fang. Jiang Qin didn't call you that. Why should I call you that? "
Then she said, "Of course I ran out. I want to go home, or where am I going to sleep? "
"I thought you were going to sleep at Jiang Qin's house." Fang Yan said.
"No, no. My mother doesn't allow me to spend the night outside … "Yuan Lin waved her hand and said. "Fang Yan, where are you going?"
"Me? Everywhere is my home." Fang Yan said with a smile. "If you really don't have a place to sleep, you can sleep under the bridge for the night."
"No, no," Yuan Lin said anxiously. "How can people live there? It's dirty, messy, and dangerous … "
She bit her lip and thought hard. Suddenly, she said with surprise, "Why don't you sleep in my house?"
Fang Yan stared at Yuan Lin with wide eyes. This little girl dared to bring a man home?
"I told Mom that I found a very good home tutor." Yuan Lin said with a smile. "It just so happens that you can help me with my Chinese."
Fang Yan laughed. This little girl was really too naive. Bringing a man home in the middle of the night and saying that he was her tutor … Her parents would probably call the police, right?
"Don't worry. I have a place to stay. "Fang Yan comforted her. "The school had already assigned me a house, but I thought that since I already rented a house here, I might as well stay here for now. Now it seems that it's not suitable for me to live here anymore. "
"Actually …" Yuan Lin said with a bitter face, "Actually, Jiang Qin is very reluctant to let you go. It's the first time I've seen her cry so much … It's not your fault. Those bad guys were doing bad things, so someone had to stand up for them and uphold justice. If someone wants to blame, it should be me. "
Fang Yan smiled and said, "It's your fault for being too good-looking and attracting the attention of the hooligans?"
Yuan Lin was happy and shy, and said, "I'm not as good-looking as Jiang Qin."
This girl really indirectly admitted that she was good-looking.
Fang Yan waved his hand and said, "You go back. It's so late. If you don't go home, your parents will be worried. "
"I want to walk with you." Yuan Lin said. "I know you're in a bad mood."
"Why am I in a bad mood? Isn't it just changing places to live? "Fang Yan said with a smile. "The house in the school is better. There's no rent. "
"Good people don't get good rewards. No one will be happy." Yuan Lin said.
Fang Yan's spirit was lifted, and he looked at the beautiful and lovely girl in front of him in surprise.
It was the first time he looked at her so carefully and seriously. Sometimes he felt that she was young and immature, and sometimes she showed a maturity that didn't match her age.
She could see through his heart, which Fang Yan didn't expect at all.
"Isn't this a normal thing? Why do you look so surprised? "
"Do you have a cigarette?" Fang Yan asked.
"No." Yuan Lin shook her head. "I don't smoke."
"Do you have money?" Fang Yan asked again.
"I'll go buy cigarettes for you." Yuan Lin said, turned and ran to the convenience store on the side of the road.
Soon, Yuan Lin came back with cigarettes and a lighter.
Fang Yan sat on the bench at the bus stop, tore open the cigarette pack, and put the cigarette in his mouth, but he didn't light it.
Yuan Lin sat next to Fang Yan, looked at him curiously, and asked, "Don't you need to light it?"
"No need. I'm afraid I'll choke. "Fang Yan said.
"… Then why did you buy cigarettes?"
"I just want to see if smoking and drinking can relieve the sadness in my heart."
"Is it solved?" Yuan Lin asked with her eyes wide open.
Fang Yan thought about it seriously and said, "I feel a lot better … No wonder everyone likes to find someone to chat with when they're in a bad mood."
"I'll try it too." Yuan Lin took out a cigarette and put it in her mouth.
Fang Yan snatched the cigarette away and reprimanded, "Students are not allowed to smoke."
"…"
The buses came and went one after another, coming and going again.
There were fewer and fewer people on the platform, and finally there were only two lonely figures.
Fang Yan didn't leave, and Yuan Lin didn't leave either.
Fang Yan didn't speak, and Yuan Lin didn't speak either.
The two of them just sat side by side, watching the traffic in front of them.
The lights were on, and the world gradually quieted down.
Puff …
Fang Yan spat out the cigarette in his mouth on the ground, crushed it with his foot, and said, "Go back."
"Okay." Yuan Lin said.
She played with the mobile phone in her hand, and then frowned.
"Lend me your mobile phone," Yuan Lin said.
"Don't you have a mobile phone?" Fang Yan said.
"My mobile phone is out of money. I can't call it. "
Fang Yan handed over the mobile phone and thought that the students nowadays were so pitiful. Their mobile phones often stopped working because of arrears.
Yuan Lin took the mobile phone and searched for a while. Sure enough, she found her pitiful number in the blacklist.
"Damn Jiang Qin." Yuan Lin cursed in her heart.
Her fingers quickly moved, restored her number from the blacklist, and then threw Jiang Qin's number into the call rejection list.
After doing all this, she returned the mobile phone to Fang Yan with satisfaction and said, "Forget it. It's so late, and it's better not to disturb others by phone … "
Yuan Lin got up from the bench and said, "Fang Yan, I'm going back."
"Call Mr. Fang …" Fang Yan said angrily.
"Goodbye, Fang Yan." Yuan Lin said with a smile. She reached out to a taxi, opened the door and got in.
"These children …" Fang Yan shook his head.
…
…
When he woke up, it was a new day.
Before Fang Yan opened his eyes, a faint fragrance came to his nose. His mouth, nose, heart, and lungs were full of the fragrance of the osmanthus.
There was an osmanthus tree at the entrance of the courtyard, and the osmanthus was in full bloom.
"This feels so good." Fang Yan thought in his heart.
When he was at home, he could also enjoy this kind of life. When he woke up in the morning, the fragrance of flowers was everywhere, birds were singing, some people were singing, and more brothers were practicing Tai Chi. Life was comfortable and easy, as if he was living in a paradise.
He also found the feeling of home here.
But why couldn't he be happy at all?
Fang Yan's heart was inexplicably painful. He thought of the picture of a girl being grabbed by her mother and unable to break free, crying over and over again, "It's all my fault" …
"It's all my fault," Fang Yan said softly.
The sky was misty, and the clouds were very low. It seemed that a storm was coming.
The weather forecast said that there would be heavy rain today. It seemed that there were times when the forecast was accurate.
He got up and practiced a few rounds of Tai Chi. Then, he helped Lu Chaoge weeding and watering the flowers and plants, and cut off some cumbersome branches and leaves. After that, he took a bath and changed his clothes.
After that, Fang Yan opened the door of the courtyard and went out.
Li Ziqiang was about to go to school with a newspaper under his arm. When he saw Fang Yan coming out of Lu Chaoge's courtyard, he couldn't help but be stunned.
"Good morning, Director Li." Fang Yan greeted with a smile.
"Well …" Li Ziqiang responded. "Fang Yan, why are you here?"
"Principal Lu said that her house was empty, so she lent it to me." Fang Yan said.
"There are rules in the school …"
Fang Yan interrupted Li Ziqiang's words and said, "Director Li, shouldn't you talk to Principal Lu about this kind of thing? You two are at the same level, right? "
Li Ziqiang thought it was true. What was there to talk about with a teacher? If Lu Chaoge didn't give him the house, how could he be qualified to live here?
Li Ziqiang was about to say a few harsh words to tell him to behave himself and not to think that living here made him an arrogant leader of the school. Before he could do that, he realized that Fang Yan had already turned around and walked away.
"Pretty boy." Li Ziqiang spat at his back.
After he finished cursing, he felt a little sad.
He also had a beautiful heart, but he didn't have a beautiful face.
Fang Yan didn't walk out of the teacher's courtyard. Instead, he walked east along Bird River. He walked past the newly built teacher's building and the courtyard of the villa before stopping in front of a small building at the entrance of Bird River.
This small building was mostly made of wood. It was slightly older than Lu Chaoge's building. However, it was three stories high, and the area of the courtyard was several times larger than Lu Chaoge's courtyard.
Fang Yan knocked on the door, and the wooden door opened.
A silver-haired old man in a white Tang suit walked out. He had tiger-like eyes and thick eyebrows, and he was full of energy. It looked like it had an intimidating aura.
Fang Yan greeted him with a smile and said, "Grandfather, you haven't had breakfast yet, right?"
The old man glanced at Fang Yan and said, "Let's go. Justice is more important than food."
