Wen Liang and Ye Yuting stood by the bedroom window, watching Shan Wei being pulled into the car by An Baoqing and his men, and soon disappeared on the other side of the street. Ye Yuting subconsciously leaned towards Wen Liang, not noticing that the distance between them was already much smaller than that between normal friends, from shoulders to waists and thighs, they were tightly pressed together, and through each other's clothes, layers of numbness appeared.
"Who are they? Wen Liang, don't do anything illegal for a villain like Shan Wei. It's not worth it. Do you understand?"
Ye Yuting was obviously a little worried. She didn't know An Baoqing, and had never even heard of this name. But just by looking at the group of ferocious subordinates around him, she knew that he would definitely not be a good man who could stay at home. Her sense of professional ethics as a teacher instantly took over, and like all teachers who were afraid that their students would go astray and make friends with gangsters, she started to scold him.
"Friends in society," Wen Liang found it somewhat amusing, yet also somewhat moved. Only children who are ignorant of the ways of the world would regard other people's care and love as meddling, or take it for granted. This is the most ridiculous and saddest thing in the world!
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing!"
Wen Liang turned his head to look at Ye Yuting, who happened to be looking at him as well. His thin lips touched lightly like clouds.
What meets the eye is a pretty face that is almost picturesque. The pink and tender skin seems even more delicate if it is blown by a baby's, and the scent from the mouth and nose is as fragrant as orchid, which makes people feel moved.
They both froze for a moment. It was already dark, and the lights were not on yet. The whole bedroom was shrouded in a dim yellow. The bed sheet next to it seemed to be saying something sweet, which made people feel confused at a glance. Ye Yuting had not yet changed from her teacher's identity, and immediately encountered such an ambiguous situation. The pressure of the identity and the stimulation brought by this identity were intertwined, almost making her weak and limp on Wen Liang.
I can't... He's my student, I can't...
Ye Yuting bit her lower lip, and placed her hands on Wen Liang's chest. Tears seemed to drip from her eyes, and she said in a trembling voice, "Don't get so close to me..."
Seeing her so coquettish, Wen Liang's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, but he still took a step back, turned his head away, and calmed down for a moment with his back to Ye Yuting. He brought the topic back to what happened just now. He chuckled and said, "You also said that Shan Wei is a villain. You have to use villain methods to deal with villains. If you don't find someone to teach a lesson to a dog-skin plaster like him, he will get stuck with you and you can never get rid of him."
Ye Yuting didn't know why she was so easily moved. Maybe it was because he saw her body last night. She always felt that she no longer had any secrets or concealment in front of him, and she couldn't look at their relationship with a normal heart as before.
She took a breath, moved a few steps to the side with difficulty, put one hand on the wall, and whispered: "Why do you want to find these people? These people who are mixed up in society, you can't get rid of them if you get involved with them. They are much more dangerous than Shan Wei."
If Ye Yuting knew that these people whom she feared like snakes and scorpions were controlled by Zuo Yuxi behind the scenes and helped them grow and develop, her expression would be very interesting. Although Uncle Wen was wretched, he did not have the bad taste to stir up the relationship between sisters. Although he liked Zuo Yuxi like that, he did not mind having more girls like Ye Yuting in the world.
"Except for girls, there is no one I can't get rid of." Wen Liang joked, squinting at the direction the car left, and said, "What's more, the so-called danger only lies in who has more chips in your hand. Shan Wei saw us and became suspicious, and tried to use this to achieve his own goals. He already has enough chips in his hand. This is the real danger!"
Ye Yuting looked at Wen Liang at this moment, but the scene of him kicking Shan Wei in the face just now flashed through her mind. He was sometimes rude and domineering, and sometimes he could discern people's hearts. He stood up when she was humiliated, and he could solve all the troubles neatly. All these things, let alone a young man like him who was full of vigor and vitality, even many adults who could do one of these would show a little smug look, but Wen Liang seemed calm and indifferent from beginning to end, as if to him, this was just a trivial matter.
Ye Yuting was poor and looked down upon when she was young. She lost her mother when she was young and became lonely. After returning to the Zuo family, she still couldn't untie the knot in her heart. Over the years, she rarely felt the feeling of being protected like this. For a moment, she looked at his profile as he talked eloquently, her eyes as gentle as clouds.
"Well, I'll listen to you!"
Wen Liang felt a sense of accomplishment to be able to make the always majestic and domineering Teacher Ye say such words. He sighed and said, "It seems that I can't have dinner with you tonight. I still have to take care of some things..."
Ye Yuting nodded meekly and said, "I don't have much appetite either. I'll cook for you another day."
The two returned to the living room. Wen Liang looked at the messy doorway and frowned, saying, "You'd better not stay here tonight. Go squeeze in with Director Zuo."
Ye Yuting obeyed his orders without saying anything. She picked up her bag, packed some clothes for changing, and followed Wen Liang downstairs.
While Wen Liang was teaching Shan Wei a lesson, Xu Yao stood at the door of Ji Su's house with a bag of fruit. She let out a long breath, patted her chest, clenched her fists and waved them vigorously, saying to herself, "Xu Xiaoyao, you can do it!"
After encouraging herself, Xu Yao rang the doorbell. After waiting for a while, Ji Su opened the door. She obviously didn't expect Xu Yao to appear here. She was slightly stunned, and a smile barely appeared on her face. She said, "Xu Yao, why are you here?"
Xu Yao shook the fruit in her hand and said with a smile: "I've brought you food. Why, you don't welcome it?"
Even though Ji Su was full of worries, he felt much better when he saw Xu Yao who was always sunny and happy. He hurriedly pulled her hand and said, "How could that be? I'm so happy. Come in quickly."
As soon as he entered the living room, Su Rui, who looked as sick as ever, came out of the bedroom. Seeing Xu Yao, he asked in confusion: "Su Su, this is..."
"This is my classmate and good friend Xu Yao. Mom, don't worry about it. Go in and accompany Dad first. Let's talk."
Xu Yao called her auntie obediently. Su Rui seemed very happy. After a few words of greeting, she turned around and went back to the bedroom. Ji Su pulled Xu Yao to sit on the sofa. She was very smart and certainly didn't think that Xu Yao would come to her house for no reason. A trace of sadness flashed across her beautiful eyes, and she asked in a low voice: "Why are you here? Did something unpleasant spread in school?"
Xu Yao was just about to use the expertise she learned from Wen Liang to change the subject and was about to laugh and fool the matter away, but Ji Su held her hand tightly. Although his face was a little pale, his eyes were extremely firm: "Tell me, okay?"
Xu Yao looked at her for a moment, then held her hand and said, "There are some people who talk nonsense, but you don't have to pay attention to them. Rumors stop at the wise and will disappear in a few days."
Ji Su's hands became cold. In fact, the news was not just in the school, but also in the Qinghua Factory. Some gossipers would deliberately stand at the stairs or downstairs and talk loudly about what happened in the explosion that morning, what was the inside story of He Xiaobo's death, how Ji Zheng forced people to death, how he was expelled from the party and removed from office by the government, and so on. They spoke with details, as if they had seen it with their own eyes.
Someone once said that if there were fewer gossipers in every community, the grand goal of building a harmonious society would have been achieved long ago. This is truly a true saying.
During the day, Ji Su went out to buy groceries. Along the way, people pointed at him from time to time, and he could always feel all kinds of strange looks behind him. The uncles and aunts he met on weekdays also smiled awkwardly as if they were avoiding the plague, and then quickly avoided him.
If it were earlier, Ji Su might have panicked, been terrified, and been at a loss, but when she thought of the young boy's figure and his gentle yet powerful words "Ji Su, believe me", the girl would straighten her back involuntarily, and her immature face would still be filled with a bright light!
Just like that day on the rooftop, when it was raining heavily, and under that sky-blue umbrella, there was a light blooming on that young man!
Hearing Xu Yao's words, Ji Su's body froze. She had expected that there would be rumors in the school, but when she heard the news, she was still greatly shocked. She stared blankly in the direction of the bedroom, and after a long while she said, "Rumors stop at the wise? Xu Yao, what if these are not rumors?"
Xu Yao looked at the girl worriedly, put her arms around her shoulders, and said, "Don't overthink it. The death was just an accident. Your father, as the factory director, should take leadership responsibility, but this doesn't mean that he has anything to do with it..."
Ji Su shook her head but said nothing. She slowly fell into Xu Yao's arms. Xu Yao just held her quietly without saying a word.
Ji Zheng suddenly rushed out of the bedroom. When he saw Xu Yao, he immediately became excited and was speechless for a moment. Ji Su stood up and said, "Dad, why did you come out?"
Xu Yao stood up and called out, "Hello, Uncle Ji."
Ji Zheng finally came to his senses and said with a smile, "Okay, please sit down. Susu, your classmate is here, why don't you treat him well? Bring out the peanuts and fruits from home."
Just now Su Rui mentioned that Ji Su had a classmate named Xu Yao who came to his house. He was stunned at first, thinking that the name sounded familiar, and then he remembered that this was the daughter of Secretary Xu. He hurried out to take a look, and found that she was indeed the real one.
He didn't know why Xu Yao came at this time, nor did he know how his rushing out to see the little girl would help, but a drowning man would not let go of even a straw. Especially at this time, hearing and seeing someone related to Xu Fuyan was like seeing a window that could be opened in the dark despair.
