Eternal Burning

Chapter 5: Make a bet

Views:

This situation is something I never expected.

Resisting the urge to rub my temples, I calmly said, "I repeat, it was you who misunderstood that day, and I have nothing against you. By 'opportunity' I mean..." The ridiculousness of this matter made me a little bit At a loss for words, I didn't know what to say about those two papers for a while, "Forget it, it doesn't matter. I've changed my mind now, and I won't give you another chance. My class is scheduled for next semester. Choose your courses well, Shang classmate." After I finished speaking, I pushed open the door and entered the bedroom without waiting for him to answer.

After closing the door, Shang Muxiao's words echoed in his mind: "I can accept your unspoken rules."

"What can I do..." I sighed softly, afraid that he would mess up, I thought about it and locked the door.

Early the next morning, the morning light came in through the gap in the curtains and fell on the eyelids. I frowned and woke up a little bit, glanced at the bedside alarm clock, it was half past eight.

After entering the bathroom to wash, I looked down at the pajamas on my body and felt that it was inappropriate, so I specially changed into my usual clothes before going out.

The living room was quiet, and Shang Muxiao was nowhere to be seen on the sofa. It seemed that he left after the rain stopped last night.

Now that people are gone, I also went back to my room and changed back to my pajamas.

I simply made an egg sandwich with milk for breakfast. When it was almost finished, Yang Haiyang called and asked me if I was free next weekend.

I thought about it and said, "There should be."

He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's great. My girlfriend will also come that day, and I will introduce the two of you."

I thought why he suddenly invited me to dinner, it turned out to be a girlfriend.

Yang Haiyang and I have known each other for more than ten years. They are my junior high school classmates. His family background is average, and he is not too talented in reading. After graduating from junior high school, he was admitted to a higher vocational education. After graduating from a higher vocational education, he went out to work as an insurance salesman.

We have not communicated since junior high school, but he called me every three days because of business needs, and he just asked me to buy an accident insurance. Thanks to this insurance, my family basically didn't pay much money after the accident, and the medical expenses were all paid by the insurance company.

Rounding up, he also counts as my benefactor.

After I was paralyzed, he often called me to ask about my current situation, and invited me to dinner when he was free. After a few years, he became his best friend. When he got married, I was his best man. When his daughter was born, I became a godfather. Later, his ex-wife thought he was incompetent, and he was still a small insurance salesman. He ran away with other men and disappeared. , I also accompany him to get drunk in the middle of the night.

Yang Haiyang cried and vomited while drinking. After tossing for a whole night, he went to the company to quit his job the next day, opened a small shop with a small amount of savings, and said he wanted to start a business.

Now that three or four years have passed, the commissary has been upgraded to a convenience store, and the life of him and his daughter has become more and more enjoyable. I also asked him before if he had ever thought of remarrying. At that time, he had given up on love and marriage, and he was afraid that his daughter would be wronged, so he bluntly said that he would not look for it again. I didn't expect that in less than a year, I would actually introduce my girlfriend to me.

This shows that the man's words are not credible.

After making an appointment, Yang Haiyang hung up the phone. Just as I was about to put my phone away, I saw a few unread messages. I clicked it and the first one was from Shen Luoyu, asking me about my participation in the mutual aid group yesterday.

After thinking about it, I returned three words.

"not bad."

The next one is a message from an unfamiliar number.

"Thank you for your stay last night. Your sofa is very comfortable. See you next time, Professor Bei."

Don't think, this must have been sent by Shang Muxiao.

I frowned, wanting to delete the message, but hesitated with my finger over it, and finally just turned off the screen and threw the phone aside.

"Brother Bei, something is wrong!!" Yu Xixi stopped me at the door of the office as soon as I got to the school.

Her face was full of nervousness, and she changed her usual laughing expression, and said something that surprised me a lot—Yan Ying reported to the school that I threatened to fail a course and sexually harassed her.

Yu Xixi ran very fast all the way and pushed me to the office of the department head.

When I entered the door, I saw Jiang Yi, the deputy director of the Humanities Department, Dong Li, the dean of the department, and Chen Qixue, the dean of the provost.

"Xiaoyu, you go out first." Jiang Yi saw me coming and waved me over.

The wheelchair stopped in front of the coffee table, Yan Ying looked like she was very afraid of me, and shrunk into Chen Qixue's arms. Chen Qixue stroked her back lightly, looking at me like she was looking at a pile of garbage, or harmful garbage.

The three-chamber trial was really bad.

"You should also listen to Xiaoyu about the situation." Dong Li tapped the marble tabletop with his knuckles, and said with a serious face, "I called you here to hear your explanation. Director Jiang and I both I don't think you are that kind of person..."

"Director Dong, both of you are your students. I know it's difficult for you, but you don't have to be so biased, right?" Chen Qixue interrupted Dong Li's words, his words were full of gunpowder, "No one will know who knows who knows how to do it. Write the word 'beast' on your face."

When it comes to the word "beast", her eyes dazzled on my face, clearly referring to me.

"Okay, don't talk for now, and listen to what Bei Ji has to say." Jiang Yi is the oldest among the three, and has more right to speak, "You can't be partial, and you can't listen to partial beliefs, do you think? Dean?"

Chen Qixue snorted coldly and said nothing.

I pondered for a moment and went through the ins and outs of the incident: "Yan Ying has been absent from class since the beginning of the school year. According to the rule of five absent classes to cancel the examination qualification, I asked Yu Xixi to send her an email last week..."

When it was said that Yan Ying wanted me to let her go through sexual bribes, Yan Ying, who was close to Chen Qixue and cried with red eyes, suddenly refuted me fiercely.

"I didn't! It's you, I really wanted you to give me another chance, but I didn't want to bribe you with such dirty means! It's you, obviously you let me go over, and then grabbed it He took my hand, and forced me to kneel down to give you..." At this point, she seemed to have a hard time opening her mouth, and she didn't say it, but she didn't mean it, everyone is an adult, and you can guess.

What it means to refer to a deer as a horse and reverse black and white, today I finally realized it.

"Then did you do it?" I asked calmly.

Chen Qixue looked at me like a monster, and some couldn't believe what I was saying.

"I was forced to bow my head because of your arrogance... But I didn't do it voluntarily, you forced me." Yan Ying's voice was sharp, her eyes were spitting fire, her acting skills were really superb, "The more I think about it after I go back, the more wrong you are. This kind of black sheep, I can't let you continue to stay in Qingwan University to poison more people. I want to report you to the school and make you discredited!"

Only the last sentence of this sentence is true. She did it just to bring my reputation down.

I looked at her and saw the maliciousness in her eyes that was almost gushing out, I almost applauded her for this trick.

"Student Yan, do you know why I sit in a wheelchair?"

Unfortunately, she is still too young and lacks the necessary medical knowledge.

Yan Ying was taken aback: "How could I know..."

"Because my spinal nerve is damaged, the lower limbs cannot perceive the instructions from the brain." I don't think she understands it very well, so she can only continue to say, "You may not know that the erection reflex also depends on the brain. . Although I still have some sense of touch, the neural pathway between my spinal erectile reflex high center and the brain has been completely blocked. In other words, I have no sexual function."

As soon as these words came out, let alone Yan Ying, the expressions of the other three people present changed.

"You..." Yan Ying was shocked and couldn't come up with a reasonable explanation for a while, why a person without sexual function suddenly became invincible in her mouth, which is not an exaggeration to say that it is a medical miracle.

It is a very humiliating thing for a man to admit in public that he is not good. I'm actually fine, but looking at the expressions of several school leaders, they are quite embarrassed.

"I can provide my medical records." I added, and then several people looked even worse.

"I use my personality to guarantee that Xiaojie is not such a person. Are you happy now, Provost Chen, are you still investigating?" Dong Li has a hot personality. If Minister Jiang was still there, he would have already To file a case.

Chen Qixue's face was also not good. She changed her previous protective attitude towards Yan Ying, pulled back her hand that was held by the other party, and said coldly, "This is a little different from what you said, classmate Yan."

"I didn't lie..." Yan Ying wanted to argue, "Really, teacher, you believe me!"

She was going to pull Chen Qixue, but was avoided by the other party with disgust. Provost is like this, love and hate are clear, and there is no room for a grain of sand in his eyes. Yu Xixi said that she is easy to offend people, but I think this character is also very good. People who can see through at a glance are always easier to get along with than people who have a set of things behind the surface.

"Beijing, don't worry, we won't say anything about it." Jiang Yi swept the crowd, and finally his eagle-like gaze fell on Yan Ying, implicitly warning, "Today's affairs can only be rotten here. In a room, understand?"

I don't care if this matter gets out.

Only 10% of the lucky ones are still fertile after being paralyzed in the lower body. Although I am not 10%, it is not a pity. It is a miracle that I am alive, a true miracle. There are four people in one car, and the other three are not as lucky as I am.

"In this way, according to the procedures, you should investigate, investigate, and punish." I suggested, "Although I don't have... actual ability, I can't rule out the possibility of my verbal harassment. Do you think so, Dean Chen?"

Chen Qixue's face was indistinguishable, and I probably didn't expect that I would make such a request myself.

"Okay." She thought about it for a while, nodded and said, "This matter has already spread in the school. If it ends like this, I don't know what everyone will think. If the investigation is clear, the innocent people will be innocent. "

Leaving the office of the head of the department, Yu Xixi rushed up to ask questions immediately, as if I was tortured inside.

"I'm so pissed off, everything is said on the forum, it's as if they were there. And there are people who say that your big devil has become a big ****..." Yu Xixi clutched her chest, looking like she couldn't get angry, "It must be those people. The unscrupulous people you have been linked to are spreading rumors. I have asked the administrator to delete a few related posts. Brother Bei, do you want to completely shut up?"

"The more blocked you are, the more others will think that I am a thief." As the protagonist of the incident, I was more calm than Yu Xixi, "Relax, trust the school, and wait for the announcement."

As a result, the notification did not come, and Shang Muxiao came first.

As soon as he entered the door, he leaned on his desk and always said to himself: "Is your car not repaired yet? How about I take you home every day until your car is repaired?"

I typed on the keyboard, ignoring him. After a while, the mouse moves, minimizing the form I'm filling out.

I sighed inwardly, I had no choice but to look up at him.

"Thank you, but no need." After I said that, I went to touch the mouse, and just as I put my hand on it, Shang Muxiao held it down.

He leaned over slowly, with a faint smile on his lips: "I heard about you, do you want to help?"

I don't have much to do, just that one recently.

"How can you help me?" I was a little curious.

"I was outside the door that day. Did you guys do anything? Could it be that I don't know?"

That's right.

I nodded and said, "Then trouble you to testify for me."

"But I have a request." The strength of Shang Muxiao's hand became gentle, his thumb rubbed the back of my hand suggestively, and his smile was somewhat innocent.

He really likes to laugh. This is different from Shang Lu. Shang Lu takes the cool brother route, and the characters he plays do not like to laugh, and his smiles are not good-looking.

"What?" Looking at this face, I couldn't help but feel a little stunned.

"Sleep with me."

It took me a few seconds to realize what he was talking about, not asking me to eat or not dropping my class, but... sleeping with me.

As if caught by fire, I suddenly pulled my hand back, and said in a tone that couldn't hide my unhappiness, "Go out."

He looked me up and down, saw my firm attitude, raised his hands in a perfunctory gesture of surrender, expressing that he was only joking.

"It seems that I really misunderstood you before. Let's change it, I'll testify for you, how about you let me chase you?"

not so good.

"Don't know what's wrong." I returned what he said to me before.

Shang Muxiao was stunned for a while, apparently still remembering this sentence. The smile faded away, he straightened up, and his feet fell to the ground.

"Make a bet."

I frowned, wondering what he was doing.

"Just bet... I will definitely catch up with you." After he finished speaking, he raised the corners of his lips, revealing a slightly ruffian smile, "If I lose, I will stop pestering you."

What is this useless bet

Sometimes I really envy these young people, such self-confidence. Confident to the point... People can't help but want to beat them down and see how they no longer feel confident.

"One month." I reported the deadline, and it was considered a bet.

Shang Muxiao's smile widened, and he understood the meaning of "one month" almost immediately.

"Can."

He glanced at the time on his mobile phone and said, "Can I send you back now? There is an additional clause in the bet, you can't avoid me on purpose."

Since it's a bet, it's fair.

I glanced at the unfinished form on the computer, then at Shang Muxiao, and finally turned off the computer.

"Let's go." I controlled the wheelchair and walked out.

A few days later, news came from the Academic Affairs Office that because a well-meaning student who did not want to be named testified for me, it was Yan Ying who wanted to bribe me instead of me sexually harassing her. This matter can be finalized.

The Office of Academic Affairs then issued a notice to punish Yan Ying for this false accusation. About half a day later, another bulletin was issued, and Yan Ying's serious absence from school was given another demerit punishment. Due to Yan Ying's repeated demerits, she was expelled from the school after a meeting of the principal's office decided.
