Tao Ling frowned and opened the second text message.

"Mr. Tao, let me ask you a question first, do you know that Yunnan likes you?"

Seeing this, Tao Ling was immediately stunned.

Wen Qingying saw him standing by the window and leaned over.

Tao Ling hurriedly turned off the phone, and before he had time to figure out whether to show him or not, the warning light on Wen Qingying's phone also flashed.

Wen Qingying looked at Tao Ling worriedly and asked him what was wrong with sign language. Tao Ling shook his head and motioned him to read the unread first.

It was the news from Baiguan, and the words were very simple: "Qingying, Yunnan knows about your relationship with Teacher Tao, and now people can't find it."

In a short sentence, Wen Qingying instantly grasped the key point, and there was only stunned expression on her face.

Tao Ling's heart tightened, he looked down at his mobile phone, and finished the sentence at a glance.

The eyes of the two met, and he hurriedly took Wen Qingying's mobile phone, dug out the number in Yunnan and called, and the other end was turned off.

Hang up and play again, still shut down.

After looking at each other for two seconds, Tao Ling patted Wen Qingying on the shoulder, signaling him to hurry up.

Wen Qingying nodded, turned around and ran, Tao Ling didn't want to take two steps, suddenly stopped, Wen Qingying ran a few steps back and looked at each other deeply.

wave.

Tao Ling pressed his mind, went back to the classroom to get the bags for the two of them, and by the way helped Wen Qingying take a leave.

The class could not go on, and before the second half of the class started, he left the Palace of Culture.

Standing on the side of the road, he clicked on the remaining text messages:

"Second question, do you know how important Wen Qingying is to Yunnan?"

"The third question, do you know what Yunnan means to Wen Qingying?"

"You are in love with Wen Qingying, why don't you care about other people's opinions? You and Wen Qingying don't mind, there are always people who do. Why can't you hide it?!"

"Back to the first question, I don't believe you don't know that Yunnan likes you. How many times did she run to your campus because of you? She even quarreled with me. She is such an obedient child because you fell out with me! How old are you? How old are you? You are a teacher, can you be more responsible?"

After reading the news, Tao Ling replied, "No matter what you say, emotional matters are very personal. This is Wen Qingying's own business and I don't need to explain it to others."

The text message passed, and the phone call came immediately. Tao Ling took a breath and picked it up.

Yun Xin's voice sounded crazy: "Mr. Tao, feelings are your own business, but is there only love in life? Can love be eaten? What do you think Yunnan is? She is missing now, I Tell you, if something happens to her, Wen Qingying will never have a better life!"

"I will never make you feel better!"

Tao Ling rubbed his free hand on his temple twice, and said with a sullen expression, "Yun Xin, calm down a little bit, it might not be the case in Yunnan."

Yun Xin hissed: "Since she saw your news on the Internet last night, she has been crying, she cried all night, and I went to her in the morning and she disappeared!"

"She doesn't have a mother, she loves Wen Qingying more than me! If it wasn't for Wen Qingying's mercy, the two brothers and sisters would have left me and my dad long ago!"

"Come and see how much she likes you. Her room is full of things related to you. Even if you don't like her, can you stop talking about it?"

"Do you have to watch her and her brother become enemies?"

Tao Ling said loudly: "Be reasonable with your heart! What would become an enemy? Yunnan is a good girl, she is not like that at all! Does she have to give Wen Qingying what she likes? Besides, I am a person. It's not a thing! Is there something wrong with your brain? I'm responsible for whoever likes me, do you think I'm an immortal?"

Yun Xin obviously did not expect Tao Ling to say this. Through the receiver, she was panting heavily, and Tao Ling could almost imagine her gnashing teeth.

"You have the ability to bring Yunnan back to me now!" There was not only anger in her voice, but also tears.

"Let me tell you Tao Ling, Wen Qingying won't be happy! He didn't commit suicide, he didn't jump off the building with his crazy mother, he lived deaf and dumb, and he stayed in Wu City because of Yunnan! You are not only gay, you hurt Yunnan the most when you are together, you will not be happy together! You will feel guilty for a lifetime and suffer for a lifetime!"

"Let Wen Qingying die! He should have died long ago!"

After shouting these words, Yun Xin simply hung up.

Listening to the busy tone on the phone, Tao Ling only felt that his chest was full of anger that he could not vent.

Standing on the spot and calming down a little, Tao Ling opened the call interface.

Just made a call with Wen Qingying's mobile phone, and he remembered Yunnan's number. Enter numbers from memory, dial in, and turn off.

Tao Ling took a deep breath and went home.

After waiting in Wen Qingying's room all day, Tao Ling thought it was not a big deal. The little girl was emotionally overwhelmed. Maybe she just went out for a while and would go home soon.

It's just that Yun Xin is too exaggerated.

But it was already eleven o'clock in the evening, and Wen Qingying still hadn't come back.

Throughout the day, in addition to wanting to hear about Qingying and Yunnan, he kept reading the content on the school's post bar.

Someone helped him clarify the rumor of a third party, but inevitably, his relationship with Wen Qingying was kicked out.

It was daytime when I argued with Yao Zhenzhen and his wife, and it was normal for some students to see it.

Speaking of which, Wen Qingying was originally an ordinary person, and Tao Ling was the same, that is, a few students in the post bar would keep posting when they were bored, and they couldn't make much splash, but when the two fell in love, the entire page was full Boiled.

Eight out of ten are talking about homosexuality.

Tao Ling took a look at the time, and it was true that someone was posting a post yesterday afternoon, and it has been arguing until today.

He couldn't help but think of Yun Xin's last words, and his heart began to feel cold.

Yun Xin's mental state has a problem, sometimes his speech is illogical, and most of the time his emotions are too intense, Tao Ling vaguely felt this way.

But there were indeed a few words in her words that hit him.

Wen Qingying suffered from childhood, and what his parents did, doomed part of his mentality, for example, he once regarded Yunnan as the only reason to live.

Now that Yunnan runs away from home because of this incident, maybe he will collapse, maybe his mental state will get worse...

Thinking about it, Tao Ling panicked, the phone was in his hand, but he didn't dare to send a message to Wen Qingying for a while, so he had to call Yunnan for the first time, but it was still turned off.

He pointed out Yunnan's WeChat and sent a message: "Yunnan, I'm sorry. I didn't detect your emotions before, I was negligent, but I was with your brother and never thought that I would hurt anyone, let alone you. The teacher knows that you are a good boy, if you turn on the phone, remember to message me back and let's have a good chat."

Sitting until twelve o'clock, the door suddenly rang.

The first time he noticed the movement, Tao Ling stood up abruptly, met Wen Qingying's gaze, he made a questioning gesture, and Wen Qingying shook his head wearily.

When Wen Qingying went to take a bath, Tao Ling turned on his mobile phone and copied Bai Guan's number.

Putting Wen Qingying's mobile phone back, he sent a text message to Bai Guan: "Hello Bai Guan, I'm Tao Ling. May I ask how you are looking for Yunnan?"

The other end quickly replied: "Hello Mr. Tao, we have already contacted the counselor in Yunnan, her roommate, and her usual good friends. They all don't know where she is going. Today, I ran a lot with Qingying, Everyone who can run has run away, and the cemetery has also gone. There is no way to call the police for the time being."

Tao Ling's breathing tightened and he thanked him.

When Wen Qing reflected in the bathroom, Tao Ling suddenly found that there was a wound on his neck, he was relieved, and silently helped him clean up.

The two of them didn't communicate much tonight. Wen Qingying didn't send a message to Tao Ling until before going to bed: "Sir, I'm sorry for worrying you, I'll tell her well when I find my sister. Don't be afraid, sir, trust me."

Tao Ling knew what he was talking about, and felt a little calmer, nodded and kissed him on the forehead.

Wen Qingying leaned over to kiss his lips, quickly separated, and lay down with her arms around him.

Sleepless nights.

The next day Tao Ling wanted to follow him, but Wen Qingying refused. He knew that if he went to Yunnan, it would be exciting, so he didn't say much.

This day was almost a repeat of yesterday, with the only interlude being that Tao Ling's online purchases arrived.

Seeing the express box, he laughed at himself, took it back and threw it in the corner of Wen Qingying's living room.

Still nothing.

Wen Qingying came back in the evening, looking more tired than the day before, Tao Ling carefully asked him if he was okay, he smiled and indicated that he was fine.

Tao Ling slept with him in his arms, and both of them were still half-asleep and vigilant.

After such a heavy weekend, Yunnan has been missing for two days.

At work on Monday, Tao Ling has been a little absent-minded, so he has no time to take into account the attitude of his colleagues.

He sent several messages to Bai Guan, and each time the answer was similar.

At noon, I stood by the corridor and looked at the flower shop. The door of the shop was closed, and Wen Qingying was still running around outside.

This feeling of isolation from the outside world continued until the afternoon, when Yao Zhenzhen knocked on the door and told Tao Ling that the dean wanted to talk to him.

Tao Ling entered the dean's office indifferently.

The dean was a man in his 40s and 50s. When he saw him, he smiled and said, "Teacher Tao, sit down."

Tao Ling nodded and sat across from the desk.

The dean cleared his throat: "Mr. Tao, it's like this. Some students reported that you have a bad work attitude and a problem with your life style, so I came to talk to you."

"Student reporting?" Tao Ling's heart burst into flames, but he was smiling, "Dean, may I ask which student he is, is he the one who was scolded by me as a part-timer in the student work group before? Don't you want to stay in our college?"

The dean was stunned for a moment, but still maintained the demeanor of his own leader, in accordance with the rules and regulations, flooding him with those false and empty arguments.

After talking for more than an hour, Tao Ling listened with his left ear in and out of the right ear. He finally heard the end and was about to leave when the dean said, "Mr. Tao, there is one more thing."

"You said." Tao Lingying.

The dean hesitated for a moment: "It stands to reason that there is no reason for our college to interfere in the personal lives of faculty members, but your matter has caused too much discussion in the school forum, which is not very good for the students, and also has a certain impact on the image of the college... "

"President, I'm sorry to interrupt you," Tao Ling said blankly, "Can I ask you a question?"

The dean made an invitation.

Tao Ling raised his eyebrows: "Does the academy have regulations saying that non-heterosexuals can't work?"

The dean paused and said, "No."

"I'm sorry, it's true that I'm gay," Tao Ling said, "but Dean, you have no right to interfere with my sexuality. Whether it's in the school forum or in private, what other people discuss are my personal affairs, and my privacy is subject to others. Onlookers, don't say that as a leader, even as a normal person, you should be angry about this."

"Not only do you not respect my privacy, but you also accuse me of being excavated. You accuse the victim and solve the problem from the victim. This belongs to power, and it is pathological, cowardly in nature, and only knows how to block Ignorant, stupid power. It's a very unreasonable thing."

"With all due respect, although our college has a solid foundation, it has become more and more a place with few achievements and few innovations, largely because of ideas. You told me about this issue today, which is one of the examples.

Everyone is accustomed to eating on their own, and their thinking patterns don’t know how to change. Whenever there is something, they should be pressed first, and they will train others first, and maintain the false peaceful status quo. You are done.

Therefore, even if every position requires a doctor who has done a good job in academics like me, it cannot hide its waning atmosphere. "

The dean's face was extremely livid, and he almost clenched his teeth in the end. He squeezed the cup in his hand tightly, looking like he would be furious at any time.

Tao Ling said: "I'm sorry, those few sentences just now may be biased. At first glance, it doesn't sound logical. If you want to explain things clearly, maybe you can write a paper on the middle things, but I don't have time to organize materials and list arguments."

He said sincerely: "I really wanted to say these words a long time ago. I wanted to say it since I stayed in school and started working, but I am a layman. I was really worried about my position before. Now I don't think it matters. Do you need me to resign? ? If necessary, I will write the resignation immediately, just after the end of the semester I will leave."

The atmosphere in the office froze for several minutes, and the silence was suffocating. At the end, Tao Ling asked, "Is there anything else the dean wants to teach me?"

Seeing that the person on the opposite side didn't speak, he said, "If not, I'll go first, thank you Dean for your teaching."

He stood up and bowed to himself, opened the door of the dean's office, and as soon as he went out, he saw someone flashing by.

He smiled sarcastically and walked towards the office.

After saying these words, my heart suddenly became extremely smooth, and all the gray emotions that had been accumulated since work were simply torn apart.

Yes, simple, the more you press, the easier it is to break.

Back in the office, Teacher Zhang was holding the teacup leisurely again. When Tao Ling came back, he nodded with a smile as usual.

Tao Ling sat down at the table, rested his chin with one hand, and turned his head to observe him with interest.

Aware of his gaze, Teacher Zhang asked, "Mr. Tao has something to ask me?"

Tao Ling nodded, thought for a while, and asked, "Mr. Zhang, do you think we need to be responsible to the outside world for our personal words and deeds?"

"It's inevitable, people live in the world." Teacher Zhang said, "But you haven't hurt the world, don't worry about these big principles, it's too empty."

Tao Ling smiled, and his heart was completely relieved. It was easier than saying those words to the dean just now. He asked again, "Mr. Zhang, was it like this when you first started working?"

Teacher Zhang knew what he was talking about, but he didn't feel offended, and simply replied: "Actually, it's not. Who doesn't have a good time when he's young, but once he starts working, once he has a family, and seeks stability, it's very rare. There is a chance of breaking."

He smiled and looked at Tao Ling: "Do you know what I'm talking about?"

"I know." Tao Ling said, "You are saying that it is impossible to break through and establish, no matter how small an opportunity is, it is an opportunity."

Teacher Zhang nodded and continued drinking his tea.

After get off work in the evening, Tao Ling went home to clean up a little, and went to Wen Qingying's place again.

Like the previous two days, Wen Qingying didn't go home until after twelve o'clock.

As soon as the door was closed, he saw Tao Ling, and his whole person suddenly showed depression.

Tao Ling hurriedly greeted him a few steps, Wen Qingying leaned back, leaned his back against the door, and slowly slid down the door.

Tao Ling was startled and hurried over to squat in front of him. Wen Qingying looked down at the ground for a moment, then suddenly raised her hand to cover her eyes.

Tears fell down and wet his face, Tao Ling's breath stagnated, he knelt down and took him into his arms.
