The sky was clear, but because of the cold weather, the snow on the ground was still hard and made a crackling sound when stepped on.
Fang Yan accompanied Qianye Xun as they strolled along the country road. The two were silent, only able to hear each other's breathing and the sound of ice and snow crushing under their feet.
Qianye Xun was dressed in plain clothes and looked tired. Her knees had wrinkles from kneeling for a long time and there was some fine ash and powder on her hair.
This girl has been really exhausted these past two days. She hasn't even had a hot bath until now.
"Are all men like this?" Qianye Xun suddenly asked. Although she had studied hard for a long time and was able to communicate in Chinese, she still had some difficulties in talking about things that were too profound, so she spoke very slowly, as if she was struggling to pick out the right words.
"What?" Fang Yan went over it in his mind several times before he understood her question.
"If there is a big country, there will be no small family? If there is justice, there will be no private feelings?" Qianye Xun asked with red eyes. There were many things she couldn't figure out, so she asked her teacher for advice alone. Fang Yan was her Chinese teacher and also the head teacher of their class nine.
"-------" Fang Yan was silent. This question was too difficult to answer.
"Teacher Fang, my father - is he really a good person?" Qianye Xun asked.
"Yes." Fang Yan said firmly. He must give a positive answer, otherwise Qianye Bingbu's death would be meaningless. What's the point of being loved by the whole country if he can't get the forgiveness of his beloved daughter? "He is a good man and a great man."
"Then, Mr. Fang, will you be like him? For the sake of the country, for justice, you will sacrifice yourself. You will not care about your wife's loneliness, you will not care about your children's grief, and you will say goodbye to them forever without even saying goodbye?"
Fang Yan hesitated for a long time, and answered truthfully: "I can't do it. I'm too greedy. I want to grow old with my wife, I want to be my daughter's eternal guardian, I want to take care of my parents and the old drunkard until they die, so----I won't choose that way."
Qianye Xun stopped and looked at Fang Yan, smiling silently, like a young chrysanthemum quietly blooming in the wind.
"Teacher Fang, thank you for giving me such an answer." Qianye Xun said softly. "As wives, they hope to have such a husband who will never leave them. As children, they hope to have such a father who can lean on them - my father is great, but he is not a good husband or a good father."
Fang Yan wanted to say something to comfort her, but it seemed that all words had lost their power.
"Don't try to comfort me, because all the comfort is useless. Sadness is always a personal thing." Qianye Xun saw through Fang Yan's hesitant expression and took the initiative to say: "My father is gone, and my mother is going back to her country. My younger brother will also go back. In Japan, he will be taught swordsmanship by the seniors in the dojo. The death of his father will make him mature. I believe he will be able to become an excellent swordsman."
"I will stay in China, to accompany my father. Perhaps his soul has gone to Japan, to the place where he fought all his life, to Jiming Mountain where he practiced sword diligently every morning and night. However, his body is still buried here - I want to stay and accompany him. He was not a good father, but I still love him as much as before."
"Will you return to Suzaku?" Fang Yan asked.
Qianye Xun shook his head and said, "I'm not going back."
"I knew it-----" Fang Yan sighed softly. Qianye Xun is an excellent student and a hard-working student. Because she is new here and has language barriers, she must first understand the meaning of the Chinese characters before studying any subject. In the first few exams, her grades were at the bottom, but by the final exam, she had already rushed to the upper middle level.
Any responsible teacher would not want to lose a good student in his or her class.
"Teacher Fang, I don't hate you. I didn't leave Suzaku because I hated you." Qianye Xun said. "I'm just - I'm just afraid. I'm afraid that every time I see you in class, I'll think of my father. Until now, I still can't accept the fact that he has left. I can't bear that kind of torment, and I'm worried that it will make me emotionally collapse."
"I will leave Suzaku and will not go to any other school. I will learn some knowledge that interests me in the future, and my favorite is the tea ceremony. I think this is what my father would like to see. He hopes that I can concentrate on doing what I like. And I always feel that I have a lot of time."
Fang Yan looked at Qianye Xun sincerely and said, "I respect your choice. We are no longer teacher and student, but we are still friends. If you need anything, just come to me."
"No, you will always be my teacher." Qianye Xun said seriously. "The Chinese believe that a teacher is a father for life. You are my teacher for a day, and you will always be my teacher. And I understand everything you have done for my father. Maybe Qianye Haowu doesn't understand it yet, but one day he will understand. He will know how broad-minded one must be to help his opponent in this way."
She bowed deeply to Fang Yan, then trotted towards the dojo.
There, her mother, brother, and ghost were waiting, waiting to leave Yanziwu with her. They would stay in Huacheng for a short time, and then fly directly from Huacheng to Dongyang.
It is a sad country for them.
She was thin, her long hair was flying, and her back was so desolate and sad.
She is very smart, very beautiful, and a girl who has lost her father.
Fang Yan couldn't bear to watch any longer and shifted his gaze in another direction.
"Hey, are you stunned?" a rosy-cheeked girl shouted at him.
No matter how bad the smog weather is, suddenly seeing two bright and pretty faces will instantly make you feel better.
This is a common problem among men.
Two beautiful girls appeared in front of Fang Yan. One was wearing a white shirt, white pants, and white casual sneakers. She was Ye Wenrou, whom he had not seen for a few days. The other was Ye Zi, who was wearing a red down jacket, white jeans, and a pair of black leather boots.
They are equally young and equally beautiful, one is elegant and quiet, the other is coquettish and lovely, both are beautiful sights in the world.
Seeing Fang Yan looking at them without saying anything, Ye Zi shouted impatiently: "Hey, I'm talking to you, can't you hear me? I never thought that such a shameless man would be liked by such a beautiful girl ----- there are so many idiots nowadays."
Ye Zi obviously misunderstood the relationship between Fang Yan and Qianye Xun, and regarded Qianye Xun's behavior of covering her face and running away as Fang Yan's ruthless betrayal of the girls by this unfaithful man.
Ye Zi started her education in Yanziwu. Because her parents worked in Yanjing for a long time, she transferred her school registration to Yanjing City. Although she was in Yanjing City, she often liked to go to Yanziwu. Her growth history was almost the same as Fang Yan's history of being a masochist.
The annual competition between her cousin Ye Wenrou and Fang Yan is the annual drama she looks forward to the most. She started watching it when she was a little girl of five or six years old, and now she is a young girl of fifteen or sixteen years old. She has almost grown up watching Ye Wenrou and Fang Yan compete with each other.
Therefore, she saw all of Fang Yan's ugly faces, rogue expressions, ridiculous ways of begging for mercy and ways of escaping.
This almost overturned her outlook on life and values, and she is still wondering why a man would have such a shameful side.
Therefore, she was not speaking nonsense when she said Fang Yan was a shameless man, but it was the result of her impression of the competition after watching it for ten years.
Moreover, because she was the most hardcore audience, she always gnashed her teeth at Fang Yan's behavior. She was sharp-tongued and liked Fang Yan's sarcasm. Fang Yan was not a person who would suffer a loss, and his way of counterattacking made her feel so angry that her liver hurt.
Fang Yan had actually escaped from the match a few years ago, which made her extremely angry. How could such a guy without the spirit of a knight be the opponent of her sister
Fang Yan got a little angry and said, "You can call me shameless, but don't call your sister shameless - what's wrong with her liking me?"
When it comes to talking skills, ten Ye Zi are not as good as one Fang Huo Huo.
As expected, Ye Zi felt embarrassed and annoyed, and said angrily: "How can you be so shameless? I'm not talking about my cousin - my sister doesn't like you."
"How do you know your sister doesn't like me? What if she likes me? You said that those who like me are idiots. Isn't this calling your sister an idiot?" Fang Yan said to Ye Wenrou, who had a calm face and indifferent eyes, as if she was in a trance and didn't care about anything.
"Of course I know. How could I not know?" Ye Zi held Ye Wenrou's arm and said, "How could my sister, such an excellent, elegant, and beautiful woman, like a man like you who has no taste, no looks, and a vicious mouth? Do you think my sister is blind?"
"Only the parties involved know about this kind of thing. What qualifications do you, an outsider, have to say such things?"
"Okay, then I'll let the person involved tell you in person-----" Ye Zi turned around and took Ye Wenrou's arm, saying, "Sister, tell him----do you dislike him?"
Ye looked at Ye Wenrou in silence.
"Sister, just tell her." Ye Zi started to use her magic of acting like a spoiled child again. The girls in Yanziwu don't know how to act like a spoiled child, but they know how to roll up their sleeves and fight. Ye Zi had lived in Yanjing City for a long time and had learned this powerful skill. She shook her petite body and said, "Sister, please speak. Please speak quickly - I want him to admit defeat with all his heart."
"I like it." Ye Wenrou said softly.
In an instant, the wind stopped, the clouds dispersed, and everything was still.
