Tao Ling paused, hesitantly turned sideways, and the crying man behind suddenly looked up to see him, his eyes met, and he couldn't even pretend he couldn't see.
Sitting there was Yao Zhenzhen, a postgraduate counselor at the college. Tao Ling always disliked her behavior, and once had a bit of unpleasantness with her because of a student assistant, so she didn't have much contact with her.
But the two sides are colleagues after all, the office is next door, and the other side is still looking at him with tears in his eyes, so it's too embarrassing to just leave.
Tao Ling's feet could not be lifted.
Seeing him, Yao Zhenzhen immediately raised her hand to wipe her face, and hurriedly lowered her head.
After two seconds of silence, Tao Ling took out a tissue, walked over to her and handed it to her.
Yao Zhenzhen looked at his hand and was stunned for half a minute, then suddenly burst into tears, choked and shouted, "Teacher Tao..."
Tao Ling was in a hurry. He was most afraid of this kind of scene, so he hurriedly pulled out the tissue and handed it to her, saying, "Mr. Yao, don't cry first, if you have something to solve, wipe your tears."
Yao Zhenzhen took the tissue sobbing, Tao Ling said, "Go home early, I'll go first."
He was about to turn around, but Yao Zhenzhen suddenly shouted, "Teacher Tao, I'm sorry."
Tao Ling raised his eyebrows: "I'm sorry for what?"
Yao Zhenzhen wiped her tears: "I feel very sorry for you. I used to think you were arrogant and didn't like you very much. Now I think you are so smart. You don't stand in line when you participate in work, although you are not valued."
Tao Ling: "..." After a long while, he smiled helplessly: "You are too straightforward, so I don't know what to say."
At this point, Tao Ling wanted to leave for the third time, and Yao Zhenzhen said, "I'm serious, you're on your own anyway, unlike me." She pouted, and tears came again.
Tao Ling sighed and pulled another tissue for her.
"What did I do wrong?" Yao Zhenzhen said while crying, "The bottom of the unit deserves to be bullied like this? The department said me, the courtyard said me, such a large college, there are only a few people in the student working group, and there are so many scholarship matters. , it's not the grading rules that I set alone, right?"
"The head of the department said I was unfair, and the head of the teaching and research section said that I didn't know how to be flexible. On the surface, I had no intention of fame and fortune, and secretly wanted my students to get it. It's wrong to co-author and rank grades. I'm just a counselor. , everyone's account is on my head, pointing at my nose and scolding..."
Listening to her talk, Tao Ling thought she was pitiful, but some of the seeds were planted beforehand and he couldn't help it, so he said bluntly: "Mr. Yao, go to the dean, aren't you related to him?"
Yao Zhenzhen was choked for a moment, and then cried even more, almost unable to cry.
Tao Ling took the paper and knew that he had said something wrong, so he bent down and said, "Mr. Yao, if you have something to say, you are crying so badly, it seems like I am bullying you."
"Why? What did I do wrong? Is it easy for me? I have a big family and children, and my mother-in-law forced me to have a second child, a second child! I'm in my thirties, and now the school makes me have to study. Bo, there is a problem with my work, and no one can help me..." She cried intermittently, tired of crying, and suddenly grabbed a life-saving straw and hugged Tao Ling, wiping her tears off him.
Tao Ling was speechless, raised his hands slightly to avoid touching her, and finally sighed helplessly, "It's useless for you to cry with me, I still want to cry myself."
Seeing that she couldn't stop, Tao Ling patted her on the back twice and softened his voice: "Okay, Mr. Yao, you go home now, after a good night's sleep, the problem will be solved."
Hearing this, Yao Zhenzhen couldn't help laughing, she tried her best to restrain herself for a while, then let go of him embarrassedly, and said angrily, "I'm sorry Teacher Tao."
Tao Ling shook his head and stuffed the rest of the paper into her: "It's okay, no one has a moment of emotional breakdown."
Seeing that she finally calmed down, Tao Ling said, "Then I'm leaving."
"Yeah." Yao Zhenzhen lowered her head and kneaded the paper helplessly, "Thank you, Teacher Tao."
Tao Ling twitched the corner of his mouth.
Finally got out of school, much later than usual. Just after passing the zebra crossing, Tao Ling saw several men entering the flower shop.
The visitor looks bad.
With a tight heart, Tao Ling immediately stepped up.
When they got to the door, they saw that group of people were standing in the store, confronting Wen Qingying.
A few big men stepped there, and the not-so-small shop suddenly appeared cramped.
Wen Qingying stood at the very innermost position, frowning, he noticed Tao Ling the second he appeared, and immediately looked over, his eyes softened immediately.
"Hey! What are you doing?" Tao Ling said loudly, hurriedly pulled away a few people when he entered the store, turned around and blocked in front of Wen Qingying.
Only now did he see the people in front of him clearly. The man who took the lead looked normal, with a briefcase under his arm.
"Excuse me, is the owner of this shop called Wen Qingying?" the man in front asked.
Tao Lingying: "Yes, what is the matter with Wen Qingying?"
The man nodded with satisfaction, and glanced at Wen Qingying with interest.
Wen Qingying wanted to pull Tao Ling away, but Tao Ling stubbornly refused to let him, insisting to stand in front of him.
The man took out his mobile phone and said in a polite tone, "That's right, there is a man named Wen Tongwei who spent 80,000 yuan in our store, but he didn't have the money to pay it back. Finally we discussed it and he said that his nephew could help. he still."
Tao Ling frowned: "What kind of shop are you? What evidence do you have?"
The man smiled politely, clicked a video, and handed him the phone. Tao Ling reached out and took it, turned his head to look at Wen Qingying, and clicked play.
It was indeed Wen Tongwei inside, but he didn't seem to be hurt. I saw him put his hands together in front of the camera and said, "Good nephew, save my uncle, I owe this store 80,000 yuan, so please help me with it first. Uncle will pay you back in a while."
The video is very short, the other party should know that Wen Qingying is deaf and dumb, and it is specially accompanied by subtitles.
After playing it twice, Tao Ling's head was big. He knew that his uncle would not be good, but he didn't expect it to be so bad. He handed the phone back and said coldly, "IOU."
"Stop talking nonsense, give me the money!" A man in the back took a step forward and raised his hand to push him.
Almost immediately, Wen Qingying pulled Tao Ling behind him and flew a leg. The man raised his hand and blocked it. The foot just kicked on his arm, directly kicking the man back and knocking over a pot of flowers.
At the same time, Wen Qingying had already moved half a step, ready to meet the counterattack.
The man shook his hand bitterly, and the remaining two strong men also stepped forward, and the man in the lead shouted: "Stop!"
Everyone stopped at the same time, Tao Ling put one hand on Wen Qingying's shoulder and said, "Boss, you are here to ask for money, is it normal procedure to ask for IOUs? If you want us to give money, you have to beat people and smash the store?"
He raised his chin: "You can smash it, just give me the money first."
The man was stunned for a moment, waved to the people behind him not to be restless, looked at Tao Ling and smiled.
Wen Qingying took a step to the side vigilantly and completely placed Tao Ling under her protection.
Tao Ling held up his mobile phone and pushed his glasses: "I have recorded the audio just now, and I have real-time backups. If you disagree like this, I have a reasonable suspicion that you are loan sharks or open casinos. You want money or you want to fight. Why don't you call the police first?"
The man smiled: "My friend, you are too vigilant. The people in our company are rather grumpy, but we are all legitimate businesses, and we open regular stores. If you really want to call the police, feel free to call the police. I have no problem. ."
Tao Ling took a breath. Both parties knew something, but he just didn't want to be left behind.
Feeling that Wen Qingying's whole body was still tense, Tao Ling squeezed his shoulder lightly, touched his arm to signal him to relax, and said, "Bring me the IOU."
The man pulled out a note from his briefcase, which indeed had Wen Tongwei's signature and a red handprint on it.
Handing it to Wen Qingying to take a look, Wen Qingying's face was expressionless, Tao Ling knew that he was uncomfortable, so he turned to the man on his own initiative: "Are you transferring money?"
Wen Qingying saw that he was opening the mobile banking, and grasped his wrist. The two of them looked at each other for a moment. Tao Ling shook his head and mouthed to him, "Send someone to leave."
After a stalemate for a while, a man said impatiently: "Will it be done soon? It's humming! It has to be urged!"
Tao Ling looked at him indifferently.
"Be polite," said the man in the lead.
After giving the money and watching those people leave the store, Tao Ling immediately turned around, touched Wen Qingying's neck affectionately, held his face and said, "Don't be afraid, darling."
Wen Qingying knew that he deliberately treated himself as a child to comfort him, so he smiled briefly, the corner of his mouth flattened in the next second, and then he pursed into a straight line.
Tao Lingxin sighed and watched him take a few steps before squatting down to help the pot of flowers.
Fuck uncle.
While Wen Qingying was packing the flowerpot, Tao Ling sent a message to Yunnan: "Yunnan, has your uncle looked for you during this time?"
Yunnan replied, "No, what's wrong, Teacher Tao?"
Tao Ling: "It's alright, it was your brother who suddenly told me about it, saying that your uncle disappeared once he came here, and I don't know where he went. I was just idle and asked him for help."
Yunnan: "Well, if my uncle finds me, I'll tell Teacher Tao."
Tao Ling thought for a while: "Okay, your campus is in the suburbs, pay attention to safety, and try not to run around at night."
Yunnan: "Okay, thank you Teacher Tao!"
Wen Qingying had been squatting on the ground, Tao Ling knew that he was adjusting his emotions, and he walked over after a while, leaned side by side with him, and handed him the screen with the writing on it: "Your uncle should have never looked for Yunnan, don’t worry."
Wen Qingying obviously expected it, and just nodded.
Tao Lingxin said the same thing, Yunnan has always been guarded by Yunxin, Bai Guan looks so nasty, no one is blind, only us little dumb people are easy to bully.
Because of this, Tao Ling also forgot that his monograph was killed, and the two packed up the flower shop in advance and returned to Wen Qingying's house.
After entering the room, Tao Ling reluctantly used Wen Qingying's mobile phone to make a call even though he knew it was useless, and Wen Tongwei turned it off.
Wen Qingying took the phone from him and wanted to transfer money to him. Tao Ling understood that it was useless to refuse, and accepted it calmly.
Wen Qingying's mood had been very low all night, Tao Ling felt that he didn't dare to face him directly, but he didn't know what to say. When it was time to go home, he didn't move.
Wen Qingying tacitly brought him pajamas, Tao Ling motioned him to wash first, Wen Qingying nodded, kissed him gently on the lips, and went into the bathroom.
Sitting in the living room, listening to the sound of water in the bathroom ringing and stopping, Tao Ling knew that Wen Qingying had adjusted the water temperature.
After a moment, he took off his coat and got up with his pajamas.
Because Tao Ling was usually the only one at home, Wen Qingying didn't have the habit of locking the door. He had just twisted the sprinkler and went underwater when the door suddenly opened.
He was startled and looked at Tao Ling in surprise.
Tao Ling didn't say anything, just raised his hand and took it off, followed by walking under the water stream, getting close to his body a little bit, then raised his hand and hugged his neck, hanging his whole body on him.
Taking a bath together was particularly difficult. Facing Tao Ling's sudden clinging, Wen Qingying accepted it naturally. He put his arms around Tao Ling and washed them with the other.
After washing and washing, the fire surged up, and the movement involuntarily changed its nature. Sweat seeped out of the pores and was immediately taken away by the water flow.
Tao Ling's thoughts suddenly ran away, remembering that every time he did this, he was in the bathroom, and the two of them had never rolled on the bed. want.
Towards the end, he suddenly felt that it wasn't that they couldn't face each other, because there was no doubt that they loved each other. You need to cover up, perhaps because you can't face yourself calmly.
Both are.
After a while, Wen Qingying finally spared Tao Ling's lips. He lowered his head, closed his eyes, and kissed Tao Ling's ear.
Tao Ling frowned tightly and bit on his shoulder, blocking the sound that overflowed his throat.
Going back to the room and leaning on the head of the bed, Tao Ling half pressed Wen Qingying's shoulder and sent him a message: "Are you in a better mood?"
After Wen Qingying read these words, she tightened her arms around his waist, hugged him completely, and lowered her head to kiss his exposed shoulder.
Tao Ling breathed a sigh of relief and turned his head to kiss him.
After all, he still didn't talk about the monograph. Tao Ling felt that he was actually able to face these things calmly. All he was worried about was Wen Tongwei, and he didn't know if this happened in the past.
After waiting quietly for a few days, Tao Ling breathed a sigh of relief.
Just like spending money to buy peace.
Fortunately, each other's confusion can be resolved as long as they are close to each other, so these episodes can only be a little accident, not enough to destroy their happiness.
After a week, the students began to check the grades of the previous semester one after another, and evaluated the teachers of each subject and the academic affairs of the students.
That is to say, during this time period, in the middle of various matters of the start of the semester, various departments of the college are also organizing the work evaluation of the previous semester.
Because of the rewards involved, the procedure was not simple, and he had to evaluate himself, but Tao Ling never paid attention to these matters.
Unexpectedly, when the evaluation results came out on Friday, Tao Ling actually got an excellent award. On the same day, he learned that the research project he cooperated with Kou Huai was officially approved.
However, the good mood did not last for a day.
Just after get off work in the afternoon, the colleague in the outer courtyard sent him a message: "Brother Ling, you have a problem." A link was attached.
The form of the link is too familiar to Tao Ling, and every time it is sent by this colleague.
Tao Ling: "It's so boring, what's wrong with me this time?"
Colleague: "This time I said you seduce married women, and there are pictures. Brother Ling, is this true? You like young women? But they haven't divorced yet."
Tao Ling: "What are you talking about?"
Colleague: "Just kidding, I know you're not that kind of person, so hurry up and clarify."
Tao Ling opened the link suspiciously, and was immediately stunned.
There have been a lot of replies to that post, and the title is very straightforward - "Isn't it? Tao Ling from the Faculty of Letters got involved in someone else's marriage?"
The main building said: "First of all, let me state that this photo was not taken by me, but was accidentally seen by my friend who happened to be working in the College of Letters that day."
Tao Ling pulled down and saw several photos that directly showed his face. The key was that he was still holding Yao Zhenzhen.
The angle of the person who took the photo was just right, and he directly comforted Yao Zhenzhen in a false way, and the photo became two people embracing affectionately.
Someone below recognized it at once: "Is it our counselor? It's a counselor! Fuck, doesn't she have babies?"
"I can't see it, Tao Ling is so cold and aloof as he likes this kind of thing. What are you doing? Knowing people, knowing faces, but not hearts, good knowledge does not mean good character."
"Da, my classmate is going to be heartbroken. She has had a crush on Tao Ling for a long time, and she was going to confess this semester. Fortunately, I poured cold water on her. I thought he was asexual, but it turned out to be his grandma's."
"My three views exploded."
"I said earlier that he has a problem, report it! Report it to the school!"
Tao Ling looked down from above, these were still mild, and the more he went to the back, the more ugly he said. Looking at the screen, his hands trembled with anger.
Just after flipping through the post, he immediately carried his bag and was about to go out. He wanted to find Yao Zhenzhen, but before he left the office, he heard a voice from outside shouting, "Tao Ling! Tao Ling!"
There was another woman saying, "What are you doing? Don't shout! Husband, listen to me!"
Tao Ling gritted his teeth and went out, only to see a man rushing menacingly from the other side of the corridor, shouting as he walked, "Everyone don't go! Don't go! Look at this shameless third party! Tao Ling can't Damn!"
There were a few people working overtime in the office, all of them came out to watch, Yao Zhenzhen said anxiously: "Husband and husband, listen to me, it's really not like that!"
Tao Ling glanced coldly at the colleague who was watching the excitement, turned around and was about to walk towards the stairs. He originally wanted to find a quiet place to talk, but the man immediately followed, and he was about to pull him.
"Let go!" Tao Ling threw it abruptly.
The man raised his hand, but Tao Ling grabbed it and threw it away.
"I have nothing to do with your wife!" Tao Ling said, "Mr. Yao, I haven't made it clear to you yet, why did you find me?"
Yao Zhenzhen quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Teacher Tao, I'm sorry." She went to pull the man again: "Husband, listen to me!"
The man was still yelling, Tao Ling frowned: "Big brother, let's go out of school and talk? I really have nothing to do with Teacher Yao."
"Then tell me how this photo came from?" The man went to get his cell phone.
Taking advantage of this gap, Tao Ling stepped down the stairs with long legs. The man followed him while cursing. Yao Zhenzhen had no choice but to follow.
"Fuck/your mother, you have to kill Tao Ling! You interfere in other people's marriages! Did you know that I have a daughter?"
Tao Ling turned his head and roared, "Tell me some truth! If the photos are real or fake, you will come to me?"
After he shouted, he continued to stride, and the man continued to scold: "I have gone to see others, the photos are not from PS, I tell you if you can't run away, I will never divorce! You can't run away! You are broken. Marriage kills the whole family!"
Tao Ling gritted his teeth.
Yao Zhenzhen's husband, even if Tao Ling usually doesn't like to talk to others, he can't help but hear that this man is a rogue at all, and he is idle, and it is all supported by Yao Zhenzhen.
Sure enough, there is no one like this. I don't think about the truth and I don't know how to make such a fuss. How will my wife behave in the future.
The more Tao Ling thought about it, the more angry he became. The abuse never stopped. Yao Zhenzhen persuaded anxiously. The three of them passed by the school gate, and even the security guard gave them a second look.
When he left the school gate, the green light happened, and Tao Ling was able to quickly cross the road. The couple followed behind, one scolded the other, and everyone looked at him along the way.
Tao Ling looked towards the flower shop and found that Wen Qingying was standing at the door, looking towards this side suspiciously.
Seeing that the situation was not right, Wen Qingying took two steps towards Tao Ling. Tao Ling was so excited that he rushed up to him, grabbed his neck regardless, and kissed him fiercely.
The noise from behind suddenly disappeared.
Wen Qingying was stunned by the kiss.
He saw the two people behind Tao Ling watching, their hands habitually wrapping Tao Ling's waist, but he didn't know whether to push or hug.
After the kiss, Tao Ling turned around and said loudly, "I see clearly! I'm a fucking gay, fuck your third person!"
The author has something to say: Do you still remember this counselor? In Chapter 8 ~
