Gu Yuan took advantage of the report after processing today's several experiments in the office before sunset, and then endured the sudden twitches at his temples and drove to the third middle school.
She received a call from Yu Shen this afternoon, and she was always a little restless after hearing that Yu Luoyin refused Lan Da's walk-in invitation.
Although his feet were not touching the ground, Yu Luoyin's promotion to school was still the most important thing in the family, so Gu Yuan still came to the school in person.
In time for the students’ rest time before self-study in the evening, Yu Shen was waiting for customers in the office. When she saw Gu Yuan stepping in high heels, she hurriedly got up and poured her a cup of tea with a disposable paper cup.
"Dean Gu is very busy." Yu Shen watched the woman's Mingyan face was thin and pale, with a vague black shadow glowing under her eyes, and coughed a little embarrassingly. At this stage... we can't neglect our children's education, right?"
"Teacher Yu, I know you are a good teacher." Gu Yuan's time is as precious as gold every second, and she is not interested in'spending money like earth'. She smiled and said straightforwardly: "I have something to say. Coming today, I also want to come over and learn about Yi Shizi Yin's recent movements in school."
Yu Shen: "It's true that I have been in class well, and I'm in a good state."
But it's strange if he is in good condition. Gu Yuan frowned: "Then why would he refuse Lan Da's pass? This is unreasonable."
Linlan University, one of the top ten in China, is particularly good at majoring in science and engineering, and it fits well with what Yu Luoyin wants to try.
It is not impossible for Yu Luoyin to sprint to the top three domestic institutions with Yu Luoyin's achievements, but the problem is that Gu Yuan understands that Lan Da is Yu Luoyin's wish, which he also said.
Lin Lan is a first-tier city, and he was born and raised. It is convenient to stay in the local area. It is good to accumulate contacts for future work arrangements or even business.
The point is, Yu Luoyin doesn't reject him and his goal is Lan Da, so why does he reject it
No matter how you look at it, this is an incredible thing.
Unless... something happened recently that changed his inherent thinking that made him so "abnormal".
Gu Yuan's slender fingers turned the fluttering paper cups on the table a little bit, he pondered for a moment and then deliberatedly asked: "Teacher Yu, Luo Yin recently...have you done anything unusual in school?"
"Abnormal?" Yu Shen was taken aback and shook his head after thinking about it: "No, he is studying very well. Some time ago, he was ranked second in the school in the model test. He went to class on time and did not arrive late or leave early... Oh, yes, he asked for leave some time ago. once."
When Yu Shen talked about it later, he remembered the horrible morning, and hurriedly said: "On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, didn't the school give the students an early holiday, but it was catching up with the wind and heavy rain. Luo Yin caught a cold and caught a cold after returning home. I didn't come the next day. It happened that there was a physics lecture that day, and at noon I asked the student to send him a note."
Gu Yuan was taken aback.
On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, catch a cold? Why doesn't she know anything
Gu Yuan remembered that those few days happened to be the busiest days for experiments in the Science Park. She didn't go home to live, but... If Yu Luoyin got sick and caught a cold, Yu Yuan should tell her.
Even if Yu Yuan is too busy to go home, the babysitter Liu Jie was personally promoted to serve at Yu's house for more than ten years. She should always call her and tell her, right
If Yu Luoyin is ill to the point where he needs to take time off and not go to school, it must be a very serious matter, and they dare not tell themselves.
Unless Yu Luoyin lied, or he was really sick but didn't go home at all in those two days.
Yu Shen looked at Gu Yuan's uncertain expression. After a moment he was a little clear, and he hesitated to ask, "Don't you know about this?"
…
Gu Yuan's fingers holding the purse tightened unnoticeably, and she suddenly felt extremely embarrassed—it seemed that she hadn't even a teacher knew clearly about her son's affairs, and she was concerned about it in a timely manner.
Taking a deep breath, the woman smiled reluctantly: "No, I know, is there anything else abnormal besides this accident?"
"It's not there anymore. Although this kid is a little bit skinny in front of me, he has always performed well in school." Yu Shen sighed, "So I don't know why he refused this place this time, and even refused. So determined."
There must be a reason for something abnormal. Gu Yuan was silent for a moment, and then asked, "Who is Luo Yin closer to at school?"
Yu Shen replied indifferently: "Just the few of them who play frequently, Zhou Xin will follow them."
Zhou Xin followed this person Gu Yuan knew, but this was not the answer she wanted.
Gu Yuan: "Are there any female classmates?"
Yu Shen was taken aback.
"Teacher Yu, we are all teachers who have been teachers for many years." Gu Yuan smiled: "We should understand that one of the factors that makes adolescent boys' mood floating and behavior abnormal is the girl."
"This..." Yu Shen frowned, feeling a thin layer of sweat from his spine under Gu Yuan's extremely oppressive sight supervision.
He quickly searched for the girl who was next to Yu Luoyin—for a moment, Yu Shen really thought of Bai Xunyin, but he soon thought of Bai Xunyin and Yu Luoyin in the office. The look of tit-for-tat in front of him was cold.
Yu Shen shook his head helplessly: "Really not, Dean Gu, you are worried..."
"Yeah." Seeing him hesitating and opening his mouth in embarrassment, Gu Yuan simply interrupted, very frankly: "I'm worried about his premature love."
In Gu Yuan's mind that is calm, precise, and making'accurate decisions' all the time, there is no doubt that such things as premature love are comical.
This is an extremely mindless, mentally handicapped behavior, which she would never allow.
"Don't worry, these students spend almost ten hours a day in the school, all under my nose. If there is something really happening, can I not know?"
Hearing Gu Yuan's words, Yu Shen couldn't help laughing, and said confidently: "Puppy love is absolutely impossible, and Yu Luoyin is not that kind of kid."
The faint melancholy in Gu Yuan's eyes remained unresolved, but he smiled politely: "Thank you, teacher, for your trouble."
She left the school in the afterglow of the setting sun. The first thing she did was to dial the assistant's phone, and her voice was deep: "Help me check the latest consumption records, bank cards, and credit cards."
Amo felt that Bai Xun Yin was a little strange.
From rest after school to self-study in the evening, she dragged her together, whether it was buying food or talking about topics, the latter always seemed to be a little divorced.
It was as if Bai Xunyin was thinking about something, his beautiful eyes were hollow, and even the box lunch was eaten very mechanically in one bite.
"Hey, hello." After the evening self-study, Amo couldn't help but drag Bai Xunyin to the corner, and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong with you tonight? I feel that the state is not quite right."
Bai Xunyin's thin school uniform jacket and a thick overcoat could not withstand the cold wind of Lin Lan in March. He only felt that after going out, he felt a chilly body, his face was white with cold palms, and his nose was red. Yes, it makes people feel sorry to look at it.
She waved her hand to indicate that Amo was okay, and then took the little girl to accompany her to the carport to fetch the car.
This has always been the case during this period. After school in the evening, Amo accompanied her to pick up the car, and the two of them pushed to the school gate together and separated reluctantly...
Then Yu Luoyin followed her all the way silently, every day.
Only today, probably not anymore.
When Bai Xunyin and the others arrived, it happened that Yu Luoyin came to pick up the car. The moment their eyes met, the two of them turned their heads aside.
Yu Luoyin rolled out his car expressionlessly, stepped on his long legs while the bell rang, and rode away quickly without saying a word, without looking back at the whole process.
When the car and Bai Xunyin passed by, there was a rush of wind, which reminded her of the time when she first met Yu Luoyin—yes, he should be like this.
Indifferent, not easy to enter, this is him.
So those gentle and gentle silks were really fake in the past, and the corners of Bai Xunyin's lips curled up with a smile of relief.
"Damn, what did Yu Luoyin pull? That black face seems like we owe him money!" But Amo couldn't understand Yu Luoyin's unbelievable death virtue, and couldn't help but vomit angrily:" It's obviously that he is following you every day, okay—hey, by the way, why isn't he following you today?"
Amo made a fire, only to realize this later.
Bai Xunyin was silent for a moment, took out the cold cell phone in his pocket and typed for her: [Amo, I told him clearly. ]
[I hope we can really break this time without interfering with each other. ]
That's it, she has said everything she should have said.
Bai Xunyin pulled the cruel truth in front of Yu Luoyin-she was destined to pursue her ideals, but she was afraid to avoid him.
Yu Luoyin didn't know if some things could only be experienced once in his life, and if they missed it, there would be nothing.
Because his life has always been smooth, he didn't know that he would be so at a loss when facing the'shock'.
He was just mentally numb, and went back and forth as usual, and rode the car back to the rented house for almost forty minutes in the cold wind of the midwinter night.
After moving the frozen slender fingers a few times, Yu Luoyin pressed the code. When he accidentally saw Gu Yuan sitting on the sofa in the living room in the brightly lit room, his brows subconsciously jumped.
"Why did you come back?" Gu Yuan was not surprised that he would come back here. In fact, he got a copy of Yu Luoyin's most recent consumption records two hours ago, knowing that he had rented a house privately and had not returned home for half a month. , Gu Yuan knew he would definitely come back here.
That's why she chose to wait here.
"Self-study in the evening ends at 9:30, from your school to the house you rented—son, your taste is good." Gu Yuan laughed a little, and continued: "From your school to this house, you can ride a bike. Ten minutes, one hour now, where have you been?"
Yu Luoyin couldn't help frowning. Since childhood, the most annoying thing about him is that every time Gu Yuan sees him, this picture of a teacher who is'office by business'.
It was as if she had to educate him from time to time and ask him to make a report. Every time he saw it, Yu Luoyin couldn't resist resisting, his speech stabbed.
"Nothing but the Three Treasures Hall, what are you doing here?" Of course it is not surprising this time. Thanks to Gu Yuan's'careful teaching' since childhood, Yu Luoyin knows how to live as calmly as her, and put on a gentle and elegant skin to say the most Stabbing words: "It's hard for you to remember that you have a son, and now you know that I rented a house outside."
Gu Yuan pursed his lips and fell silent, and the room suddenly fell into a weird silence.
Yu Luoyin smiled lightly, went to the refrigerator without incident and took out a bottle of ice water, and drank half of it in one breath.
Gu Yuan looked at him fixedly, saying, "Don't always drink cold, hurt your stomach" around the tip of your tongue and didn't say it, instead—
"Why not accept Lan Da's recommended quota?"
"Oh, you came here because of this? Who knows?" Yu Luoyin walked over and half-leaned on the soft leather sofa, smiling indifferently: "Maybe it's because I don't want to go to Lan Da."
"Naughty." Gu Yuan scowled, stiffly as if meeting in a conference room, clearly analyzing the pros and cons: "Landa has the top three chemical engineering majors in the country. This is not the major you wanted to apply for. Huh?"
"What's more, Lan Da is in the local area. Whether you need food, clothing, housing, or transportation, it will be more convenient."
"Also, going to Lan University is your own previous thoughts. If you are a human being, your words and deeds are different..."
"Mom, can you stop talking for now? I want to be quiet for a while." Yu Luoyin looked up at the snow-white ceiling and said in a daze, "I am very tired today."
Whether it was the self-confidence that was completely shattered by Bai Xunyin in the afternoon, or just still couldn't help but guilty of escorting her all the way home, and then stood there without a clue for half an hour downstairs, from physical to psychological, tired.
"Yu Luoyin, what's the matter with you?" Gu Yuan stood up angrily as he looked at his lazy and depressed appearance.
Her slender fingers tightly grasped the bag in her hand, hating that iron can't make steel: "What kind of state are you in now, is it the state that a senior high school student should have?"
Yu Luoyin sneered blankly: "What state should I be?"
Shouldn't he always be rational, calm, and wear a vacuum mask that is thousands of miles away? As long as it is a human being, there will be times of confusion and weakness, right
"Of course you should be accepted by Lan University to prepare for university studies!" However, Gu Yuan didn't allow it. Her chattering voice tried to help him decide everything: "Instead of not knowing what to die for, like now, Yu Luo Yin, are you mad at me?"
Yu Luoyin was silent.
"... Your dad and I are very busy at work, and we are indeed negligent in caring for you." Seeing his uncooperative attitude, Gu Yuan sighed slightly, and softened his tone a little: "But this is not your arrogant act. The reason, Luo Yin, don’t you remember what I told you? Willful indulgence is the beginning of a person’s degeneration. In any case, I don’t allow you to be irresponsible to yourself."
"Mom, don't say it." Yu Luoyin was expressionless, with a slight chill on the corners of his eyebrows and eyes: "I'm tired, you go first."
Gu Yuan frowned, sitting still.
"You still want to talk about the recommended quota?" Yu Luoyin raised his eyebrows and smiled mockingly: "I don't want it, do you think I can't pass the exam?"
"You," Gu Yuan was stunned and murmured: "Aren't you making a fuss?"
"I'm willing." Yu Luoyin waved his hand'great rebelliousness', and pointed to the door: "Please."
…
Gu Yuan understood Yu Luoyin's temper, and knew that his current state would have to quarrel when he was arguing. She swallowed and stood up, but when she walked to the door, she couldn't help but turn her head back—
"Yu Luoyin, do you think your extravagant behavior is very handsome? Or does it fit the chic of you little boys?"
"Don't have to take the college entrance examination by yourself if you have a recommended quota? I admire your self-confidence, but you seem to forget the truth that there are always surprises in life."
"Fever, cold, traffic jams, nervousness, etc. can cause so-called'accidents' in the college entrance examination!"
"The ideals and goals in life are not for you to abuse at will. Some people may only have one chance to grasp their dreams and realize them in their lives.
Gu Yuan finished speaking in one go, and slammed the door to leave with a'bang'.
In the room full of silence, Yu Luoyin's eyes that had just been closed slowly opened.
[Some people may only have one chance to seize their dreams in their lives. ]
[It's over if you miss it. ]
So, should he catch it
When Bai Xunyin missed it, it was over, and Yu Luoyin was convinced of this in his heart.
But the girl clearly told him in the afternoon that between herself and her ideal, she had chosen her ideal.
If you are posting upside down... Is that too cheap
After almost a month, Yu Luoyin finally couldn't help lighting a cigarette, Qingjun frowned.
Otherwise... Forget it, Bai Xunyin will bother him anyway. Yu Luoyin thought aimlessly, and his heart was empty.
But when she closed her eyes, the girl once smiled softly, and her cruel past flashed back in her mind, just like watching a movie.
Yu Luoyin's eyelashes trembled slightly, and when a cigarette burned out, he made a decision that was completely opposite to the decision in his mind just now—fuck, isn't it just sticking it upside down? He is guilty.
Gu Yuan's words were like a divine enlightenment, which calmed Yu Luoyin's heart after a whole afternoon of restlessness and depression, and at the same time made a decision that is closely related to the future direction of life.
I don't know if she knew the truth in any month or year, would she regret that she couldn't control her mouth through time and space.
For nearly a week, Bai Xunyin did not continue to be entangled by Yu Luoyin.
Xu was because he had listened to his own words, and knew that they were destined to be people from two directions, and all intersections were unnecessary, so he just looked away.
Bai Xunyin breathed a sigh of relief, but was not happy about it, because some things at home made her a little worried.
In the past few days, I don’t know what’s going on. Ji Huiying seems to be hiding something from her-leaving early and returning late, her whole body is full of restlessness, and Bai Xunyin even happens to see her checking her savings in her family account...
The statistical money is not terrible, but the terrible thing is that it is only the two of them who have to count secretly. It is definitely not a simple matter to hide things from people like her who depend on each other for their lives.
When Bai Xunyin thought of this layer, his brain buzzed, and his first thought was to rush to Ji Huiying and write in a silent but hurried manner: [Mom, is Dad not doing well recently? ]
Bai Hongsheng's body functions have always been quite stable, but since the last accident, Bai Xunyin is now always a little bit afraid of being bitten by a snake.
She was afraid that she might hear bad news someday.
"No, no, no, where did you think of it?" Ji Huiying quickly denied, her eyes drifting: "Your father's physical condition is very stable."
She unconsciously performed repetitive behavior without knowing it, obviously the whole person was anxious to a certain extent.
But their recent lives have remained the same... What is Ji Huiying anxious about
Bai Xunyin's delicate brows frowned worried, and couldn't help but continue to ask on the paper, his handwriting was scribbled: [Mom, what's the matter with you lately? ]
"Don't ask, Yinyin, can you go back to study?" Ji Huiying rubbed her temples, feeling uncontrollable for a while, but then forced a smile.
She pushed Bai Xunyin back to her room and kept saying: "The college entrance examination is about to go in three months, Yinyin, you only need to take the exam, and don't worry about the rest."
But the more Ji Huiying said so, the harder Bai Xunyin felt.
It's like being depressed by the people closest to me hiding things from me, nowhere to vent, panic-she even wanted to talk to Amo about Ji Huiying's recent abnormalities, but she still couldn't say what she said when she came to her lips.
What she didn't know about herself, how could that careless girl Amo understand
What's more, at this juncture, it is a crime to add trouble to others, and Bai Xunyin doesn't want Amo to be annoyed with her.
She could only silently swallow all the doubts, and accompany Ji Huiying'acting' as if she was okay.
And this superficial "peace" was completely broken until the weekend.
As usual, senior high school students on Sunday have a half-day holiday. Bai Xunyin is worried about Ji Huiying's recent state. He wants to take advantage of this half-day to go home and accompany her well, so he refuses Amo's invitation to make up classes with her.
But Bai Xunyin didn't expect that when she rode a bicycle into the cramped alley of Ajun Hutong, she saw Ji Huiying being blocked in the corner by the two tall backs!
With a'buzz' in Bai Xunyin's brain, he rushed over without paying attention to the harsh bicycle bell—
"Fuck! Where's the lunatic!?" The girl's white figure suddenly rushed over to the two ferocious big men. She would avoid the bicycle wheel and yelled: "You fucking don't have eyes? Huh? Didn't you see anyone here?"
"Yinyin! Why are you back? Didn't you go to make up the class?" Ji Huiying was frightened, and she was angrily and frightened guarding Bai Xunyin behind her.
She looked at the girl's stubborn and blue face, and kept urging: "Don't worry about this, go back and make the paper..."
"Oh, surnamed Ji, is this your daughter?" The leading man glanced up and down at Bai Xun Yin, then suddenly smiled, "The little one looks good."
"Yinyin!" Ji Huiying shook her body slightly, and shouted sharply: "Go home!"
Bai Xunyin was stunned in place, staring at the man in front of him with his clear eyes.
This voice, in a familiar tone... She recognized that it was the group of people who collected debts from loan sharks three years ago!
Seeing them, you can think of the scene of Bai Hongsheng jumping down from the eighth floor. A familiar chill surged from the sole of Bai Xunyin's feet, and his teeth creaked unconsciously.
"My surname is Ji, it's useless to ask your daughter to go home. We don't know your address." The man smiled indifferently. He had a pair of dangling eyes, and he was fierce and fierce: "Anyway, if you don't give money, we Just come here every day, if your daughter’s college entrance examination is delayed by that time... Who do you think has lost a lot?"
Bai Xunyin recovered, and suddenly understood.
It turns out that Ji Huiying's hesitation, tossing and turning, and even secretly looking at her passbook these days... are all because these debt collectors are entangled again.
They obviously made up their minds to take advantage of this knotty, so that Ji Huiying was afraid of stepping on her before and after the college entrance examination to disturb her mood, so they had to take money.
Bai Xunyin's hands hanging down to his side were clenched into fists, and his nails penetrated into his palms.
"You, you can't be so unreasonable." Ji Huiying has worked in her physique all her life. She has a gentle temper, and her face is pale and reasonable even if she is anxious: "My husband was forced to jump off the building by you, and the court has cleared us and The debt between you..."
"Bah! The court is a fart!" The man interrupted her anxiously, and sneered coldly: "The court can control Lao Tzu coming to this broken community every day to'walk'? It can't control it! Your man owed Lao Tzu so much at the time. Money, think it’s fine if you die? Whether you give it or not, you can figure it out by yourself!"
After the man had finished speaking, he took a stroll with the attendant behind him.
The two of them returned home with great thoughts.
Hanging up the bag, Ji Huiying looked back at the pale girl and sighed, softly comforting: "Yinyin, don't be afraid, we will call the police when they come again. There will be a way."
But whether the police will control it is not certain.
Bai Xunyin knew this, but she didn't want Ji Huiying to know that she knew everything, lest she worry, so she nodded.
Orphans and widows are most vulnerable to being bullied, especially when they are two women, weak and useless women in the eyes of the world.
Bai Xunyin can almost think of the thoughts of the group of debt collectors, thinking that they will definitely not be able to bear the money to keep them safe, and then compromise once and again, which is never ending being threatened, but...
Bai Xunyin's tea-colored eyes flashed with a bit of cold light, she opened the drawer, took a knife out of it and put it in her schoolbag.
This is the Swiss Army Knife Bai Hongsheng gave her back then. When necessary... it can save your life.
The seventeen-year-old girl wanted to touch a sharp blade for the first time, and she never told anyone that she was in the mood of'fishing to death and breaking the net'.
Is life always so difficult? Should we wait until we grow up
Bai Xunyin asked himself this question again, and then chuckled softly.
Fate is a bitch, life is so difficult.
Bai Xunyin was not surprised when she returned to the alleys of the community after school the next day to see the two debt collectors—since she saw these two people at the gate of her community yesterday afternoon, she knew they would definitely come.
Vampires and assholes only like to stare at the weak and bully, and she looks weaker than her mother.
Bai Xunyin pushed his bicycle and stood in front of the two tall men, his eyes cold.
"Little girl, what's your expression?" The man couldn't help but smile when he saw her look like death. "We just want to talk to you. I heard that you are a good student, a top student?"
As he said, he wanted to reach out and touch the girl's chin.
However, in the next second, there was a scream like killing a pig from the silent alley in the middle of the night—
"Fuck!!! I'm fucking fucking!!!"
The man clutched his bleeding hand, the spreading blood seemed to be immersed in his eyes, his eyes were bloodthirsty and he stared at Bai Xunyin viciously and cursed: "You bitch cousin! How dare you fucking bring a knife? !"
However, Bai Xunyin didn't listen at all. When she took out the Swiss Army Knife to scratch the man's hand without hesitation, her first reaction was to run while he was screaming.
Must run! The faster you run, the better! Run out of this cramped alley!
Bai Xunyin's heart and lungs continued to pour in the cold wind with the violent running, and she felt hot and painful, but she still felt the rapid footsteps behind her getting closer and closer.
The one who is close seems to be able to touch her right away, making people feel like despair falling into an endless abyss—
However, someone gave her a hand!
"Bai Xun Yin!" Yu Luoyin, who still quietly sent her home every day, bought a bottle of water at the entrance of the alley. Before he left, he saw the little girl running out desperately, as if there was a scourge behind him.
His pupils shrank violently, and his first reaction was to throw away the water in his hand and rush over to grab her: "What's the matter!?"
