"He looks like a dog."
If someone was standing on a high place and happened to see his back as he left, would he utter an exclamation like this
Fang Yan thought, it will definitely happen.
He has always lived in the Fang's asylum#to take care of him. His father asked him to be extremely high but tolerate. His mother often scolded but hurt him into his bones.
My father's scolding was not real scolding, and my fellow apprentices' beatings were not real beatings. My father's scolding was fierce, and my fellow apprentices' punches were cruel, but they had never really hurt me.
Those outside will.
When they praise you, they are not really praising you, but when they scold you, they are really scolding you. If they hit you, it will hurt, and if they stab you, you will die.
The world outside is wonderful, but it is also very abnormal.
Fang Yan felt hurt.
"Fang Yan----Fang Yan-----" A hurried and sweet voice came from behind.
Fang Yan turned around, looked at Yuan Lin, who was running out of breath with her schoolbag on her back, and said, "Why did you run out?"
Without waiting for Yuan Lin to answer, he continued, "You should call me Teacher Fang. Fang Yan Fang Yan -- is that you who calls me Fang Yan?"
"Huh----" Yuan Lin supported her hands on her knees, bent forward and panted, saying: "I---I don't want to call you Teacher Fang. Jiang Qin didn't call me, why should I call you?"
Then he said, "Of course I have to run away. I want to go home. Where else can I sleep?"
"I thought you were going to sleep at Jiang Qin's house." Fang Yan said.
"No, no. My mother won't let me stay out overnight." Yuan Lin waved her hand. "Fang Yan, where are you going?"
"For me, the world is my home." Fang Yan said with a smile. "If there is really no place to sleep, just stay under the bridge for a night."
"No, no." Yuan Lin said anxiously. "How can we live there? It's dirty, messy, and dangerous----"
She bit her lip and thought hard, then suddenly said in surprise: "Why don't you sleep at my house?"
Fang Yan stared at Yuan Lin with wide eyes. How dare this little girl bring a man home
"I told my mom that I found a great tutor." Yuan Lin said with a smile. "You can help me with my Chinese lessons."
Fang Yan smiled. This little girl was really too innocent. Bringing a man home in the middle of the night and saying he was her tutor - I'm afraid her parents would call the police immediately, right
"Don't worry. I have a place to live." Fang Yan said comfortingly. "The school originally allocated a house for me, but I thought since I have already rented a house here, I will just live here first. Now it seems that it is not suitable for me to live here anymore."
"Actually-----" Yuan Lin said with resentment on her face: "Actually Jiang Qin is reluctant to let you go. This is the first time I saw her cry so hard----It's not your fault. Those bad guys do bad things, and there must be someone who stands up to do justice. You should blame me if you want to."
Fang Yan smiled and said, "Is it because you are too good-looking that you attracted the attention of the gangsters?"
Yuan Lin was both happy and shy, and said, "I'm not as pretty as Jiang Qin."
This girl really indirectly admitted that she is pretty.
Fang Yan waved his hand and said, "Go home. It's so late. If you don't go home, your parents will be worried."
"I want to walk with you." Yuan Lin said. "I know you are in a bad mood."
"Why should I be upset? Isn't it just a change of place to live?" Fang Yan said with a smile. "The house in the school is better. There is no rent."
"No one will be happy if good people don't get rewarded," said Yuan Lin.
Fang Yan perked up and looked at the pretty and lovely girl in front of him with surprise.
It was the first time that he looked at her so seriously and carefully. Sometimes he felt that she was young and immature, and sometimes she showed a maturity that was inconsistent with her age.
She could actually see through his heart, which Fang Yan never expected.
"Isn't this a normal thing? Why are you acting so surprised?"
"Do you have a cigarette?" Fang Yan asked.
"No." Yuan Lin shook her head. "I don't smoke."
"Do you have money?" Fang Yan asked again.
"I'll buy you some cigarettes." Yuan Lin said, turning and running towards the convenience store on the side of the road.
Soon, Yuan Lin came back with cigarettes and a lighter.
Fang Yan sat on the bench at the bus stop, tore open the cigarette box, put the cigarette in his mouth, but did not light it.
Yuan Lin sat next to Fang Yan, looked at him curiously, and asked, "Don't you want to order?"
"No need. I'm afraid of choking." Fang Yan said.
"-----Then why did you buy cigarettes?"
"I just want to try whether smoking and drinking can relieve the sadness in my heart."
"Have you solved it?" Yuan Lin asked with eyes wide open.
Fang Yan thought about it seriously and said, "I feel a lot better. No wonder everyone likes to find someone to chat with when they are in a bad mood."
"Let me try it too." Yuan Lin took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth.
Fang Yan snatched the cigarette away and scolded him, "Students are not allowed to smoke."
"------"
The buses came and went, one after another.
There were fewer and fewer people on the platform, until only two lonely figures were left.
If Fang Yan doesn't leave, Yuan Lin won't leave either.
Fang Yan didn't speak, and Yuan Lin didn't speak either.
The two of them sat side by side, watching the cars and people coming and going in front of them.
The lights flickered and the world gradually became quiet.
puff-----
Fang Yan spat out the cigarette in his mouth and crushed it to pieces with his foot, saying, "Go back."
"Okay." Yuan Lin said.
She played with her phone in her hand, then frowned again.
"Lend me your cell phone." Yuan Lin said.
"Don't you have a cell phone?" Fang Yan said.
"My phone is out of money. I can't make calls."
Fang Yan handed over the phone and thought to himself, today's students are so pitiful, their phones are often shut down due to unpaid bills.
Yuan Lin took the phone and searched for a while, and sure enough, she found her pitiful number in the blacklist.
"Damn Jiang Qin." Yuan Lin cursed in his heart.
She quickly dialed her number from the blacklist, and then added Jiang Qin's number to the reject call list.
After doing all this, she returned the phone to Fang Yan contentedly and said, "Forget it. It's so late, it's better not to call and disturb others-----"
Yuan Lin stood up from the bench and said, "Fang Yan, I'm going back."
"Call me Teacher Fang----" Fang Yan said angrily.
"Fang Yan, goodbye." Yuan Lin said with a smile. She hailed a taxi, opened the door and got in.
"These children-----" Fang Yan shook his head.

When you wake up, it's a new day.
Before Fang Yan had time to open his eyes, a faint fragrance wafted into his nose, and his mouth, nose, heart and lungs were all filled with the aroma of osmanthus.
There is an osmanthus tree at the gate of the yard, and the osmanthus flowers are in bloom.
"This feels so good." Fang Yan thought to himself.
When he was at home, he could also enjoy this kind of life. When he woke up in the morning, there was the fragrance of flowers, the chirping of birds, people singing operas, and more fellow practitioners practicing Tai Chi. Life was comfortable and easy, as if he was living in a paradise.
He also found a sense of home here.
But why can't I be happy at all
Fang Yan's heart ached inexplicably. She thought of the scene where the girl was caught by her mother and couldn't break free, crying and shouting "It's all my fault" over and over again.
"It's all my fault." Fang Yan said softly.
The sky was hazy, the clouds were very low, and it looked like a storm was coming.
The weather forecast says it will rain heavily today, and it seems like they are sometimes right.
He got up and did a few rounds of Tai Chi, then helped Lu Chaoge weed and water the flowers and plants, and cut off some overgrown branches and leaves. Then he took a shower, changed his clothes, and finished cleaning up.
After finishing all this, Fang Yan opened the gate and went out.
Li Ziqiang was about to go to school with a newspaper tucked under his arm. When he saw Fang Yan walking out of Lu Chaoge's yard, he was stunned.
"Good morning, Director Li." Fang Yan greeted with a smile.
"Hmm----" Li Ziqiang responded. "Fang Yan, why are you here?"
"Principal Lu said that her house was empty anyway, so she lent it to me," said Fang Yan.
"There are rules in school-----"
Fang Yan interrupted Li Ziqiang and said, "Director Li, shouldn't you talk to Principal Lu about this matter? You are at the same level, right?"
Li Ziqiang thought so too. What was there to talk about between him and a teacher? If Lu Chaoge hadn't given him the house, what qualifications did he have to live here
Li Ziqiang was about to say something harsh, telling him to behave himself and not think that living here would make him a school leader who was arrogant and overbearing. Before he could do so, he found that Fang Yan had turned around and walked away.
"Pretty boy." Li Ziqiang spat fiercely at his back.
After cursing, I felt a little sad.
He also has a heart that loves beauty, but he doesn't have a beautiful face.
Fang Yan did not walk out of the teachers' courtyard, but walked east along the Que River, passing the newly built teachers' building, crossing the villa courtyard, and then stopped at the door of a small building at the entrance of Que River.
This small building is mostly made of wood and is older than Lu Chaoge's small building. However, it is three stories high and the area of the yard is several times larger than Lu Chaoge's yard.
Fang Yan knocked on the door, and the wooden door opened.
A silver-haired old man in a white Tang suit came out, with tiger eyes, thick eyebrows, and full of energy. He looked intimidating.
Fang Yan greeted him with a smile and said, "Grandpa, you haven't had breakfast yet, right?"
The old man glanced at Fang Yan and said, "Let's go. Justice is more important than eating." (To be continued)
