After leaving the school gate, you can see the lively town center to the left. However, it is getting late at this time, and both sides of the streets that were lively during the day are now empty. Only some garbage on the ground shows the presence of the vendors. Most of the shops are preparing to close, and there are There was no movement in the few houses, just looking at the bright lights from a distance. There were no street lights installed in this town, so Zhou Wenlong could only rely on the light from the shops and search carefully around.
He looked panicked and kept walking all the way. Ever since he heard Chen An's words, his heart was beating wildly, for fear that something would really happen to Chu Ye.
He asked himself, he was very kind to Chu Ye. In the past few days, Chu Ye was in a bad mood, and he was always there to comfort him. Although he made some random remarks in school some time ago, he didn't say anything. Wrong, the guard said it. Chu Ye left with the man in the morning and didn't come back by car until evening. Who knows what happened during this period? He was just guessing. Anyway, he had a mouth on his face. What did he want to say? Just say it.
Besides, those who are clear will be clear themselves. If Chu Ye sat upright, he would not be afraid of these rumors.
But on the other hand, he was just talking nonsense. Who would have thought that Chu Ye would be so sad that he couldn't even think about it. If something really happened, he would feel quite guilty.
With this in mind, he eagerly searched for the distance. He didn't know if it was bad luck, but he didn't meet many people along the way. Now he was walking on a small dirt road, with waist-high weeds on both sides. There was no one, night had fallen, and there were small insects hissing in the deep grass.
After standing in this place for a long time, the original eagerness when searching for someone slowly subsided, and uneasiness gradually rose in my heart.
Under the hazy moonlight, Zhou Wenlong could see the road ahead somewhat clearly, but the road ahead was also a vast heap of weeds, so he stood hesitant.
I still remember that some time ago, he and a few boys came here, and they knew that there was a small river ditch at the end of this road. The water in the river is clear, and the deepest part only reaches a person's waist. If Chu Ye wanted to commit suicide after leaving school, this place would undoubtedly be a good choice.
As he stood there, he could already hear the gurgling sound in the distance, but the uneasiness in his heart became more and more pervasive. Reason told him to go to the river and take a look. If the person was really there, it would be considered a meritorious deed.
He swallowed. Although he wanted to save people, there was still a long road ahead, and there were still dark grass on both sides. He was wrestling in his heart. Even if he passed now, if people were still alive, everyone would be happy. If people were still alive, everyone would be happy. He had jumped into the river and died, so wouldn’t he have directly seen the dead body in the past? Even if this person is still breathing, what if he goes to save people and Chu Ye struggles in the water and drags him in?
He stood there and thought for a moment, then turned around and ran back. Chen An must have called the others to come out. He went back to gather with the large army first. When the time comes, a few people will search together. There is strength in numbers. With this thought, he Run back to town.
At this time, all the shops in the town that were still open were closed. Only Xuxu in the state-owned hotel opened a door, and the exposed lights were very eye-catching on the empty street.
"The door is still open so late? The door was closed when it was getting dark last time." Zhou Wenlong muttered as he walked back. The last time he finished eating in the school cafeteria, he wanted to go out to eat some meat, but the result was that When I walked to the door of the hotel, I found that the door was locked tightly.
He couldn't help but curse, and closed the cuffs of his sleeves that were a little messy while running, "Why am I the only one on this street? Where did all the people Chen An yelled go to?"
In his mind, he blamed Chen An for his unreliable work, and felt a little hungry in his stomach. He walked to the only lighted place on the street without hesitation, intending to go in and buy something to eat. Before he could step on the stairs, He looked up and saw the figure sitting at the glass door. Wasn't that the Chu Ye that he had worked so hard to find?
Anger suddenly arose in my heart, and I didn't care about my hunger. I rushed over in three steps and asked sternly, "Teacher Chu! So you are hiding here. Do you know how hard I worked to find you!"
< br>
After saying that, he saw Chu Ye Youyou looking up. Her eyes were a little intoxicated and her cheeks were red. Zhou Wenlong's words of accusation that he wanted to continue suddenly got stuck. He looked down and saw three plates of appetizers and a plate of peanuts placed on the table. Rice, a plate of cucumbers, and a plate of pork head.
There was a small wine cup in front of Chu Ye, and two bottles of white wine on the table, one of which was half empty.
Zhou Wenlong swallowed hard and discovered that Chu Ye was wearing a white skirt today. Looking at it under the light, there seemed to be a stream of light on the skirt, which was particularly eye-catching in this evening.
There were only two of them in the store, and there were faint noises in the room behind the counter. Zhou Wenlong guessed that the waiter might be busy inside.
He looked around again, and Chu Ye in front of him blinked, as if he finally recognized the person, and grinned, "It's you, Teacher Zhou, sit down quickly!"
Now that Zhou Wenlong had found the person, he was not so anxious. He looked around and sat down opposite him.
Chu Ye pushed the filled liquor bottle in front of his eyes, "Drink! We won't go home until we get drunk tonight."
Zhou Wenlong was frightened in his heart. He was obviously at a loss for Chu Ye in this state. The three dishes in front of him were barely touched. At this moment, his stomach began to growl. He hesitated for a moment and took out the chopstick holder on the table. A pair of them took the lead in picking up a piece of pig head meat and put it into their mouths.
He closed his eyes with contentment, and the drunken voice of Chu Ye opposite him sounded very helpless, "What should I do, Teacher Zhou? There are endless rumors in the school. I'm really tired."< br>
She raised her eyes and saw that Zhou Wenlong was only putting meat into his mouth, and frowned, "Teacher Zhou, why are you just eating and not drinking? Come on! Clink glasses!"
She held the small wine cup and stretched it out to the middle of the table, as if she would not stop drinking.
Zhou Wenlong originally planned to eat a few more bites of food and fill his stomach before dragging Chu Ye back to school. But now seeing her reluctance, he had a headache. He was not a drinker.
However, opposite Chu Ye, her face was red and her eyes were blurry. Her white skirt outlined her good figure curves. He swallowed, hesitated for a while, walked to the counter and took a small wine cup, opened the white bottle of wine on the side, and added some wine. After finishing the meal, he raised his glasses and clinked his glasses together, gritting his teeth and drinking it all in one gulp.
"Good job! I didn't expect Teacher Zhou to be a good drinker." Chu Ye filled up his wine cup, and after Zhou Wenlong turned red and stuffed several pieces of cucumber into his mouth, he said again leisurely, "What do you think I should do?" I really don’t know what to do if I get stuck on this kind of thing. I can’t stay in this school anymore.”
"Hey, why can't you think about it when others say a few words to you? You must know that a person who is clear will be clear, and he will not be afraid of a slanted shadow if he is upright." He specifically found a relative to be transferred to this school for Chu Ye. If Chu Ye left, What else does he mean here? "But then again, I'm not wrong. You do have a boyfriend, huh."
After saying these words, Chu Ye's expression paused, and then he lay on the table and sobbed softly.
Zhou Wenlong couldn't pick up the chopsticks, nor put them down. "What's wrong? This is it again."
After a long while, Chu Ye raised his head, his eyes were red, but there were no tears on his face. However, Zhou Wenlong didn't notice this at this time. Seeing that Chu Ye stopped sobbing, he put a few peanuts into his mouth, "But your partner That’s right, it’s quite unreliable that he won’t come to see you even though you’re like this.”
"Why are these peanuts so salty?" He whispered, and there was no water on the table. He picked up the wine cup and took a sip.
"I'm afraid we won't be able to make it." Chu Ye looked downcast.
"Look, I just said this man is unreliable." Zhou Wenlong raised his eyebrows, and a faint expectation rose in his heart, "Teacher Chu, this lesbian still needs to observe more when looking for a partner, but young people can take some detours. It’s normal. You can forgive it if you correct it in time. You should also keep your eyes open and look at the people around you.”
He deliberately straightened his waist and sat upright. Then he saw the emotion on Chu Ye's face. She raised her glass and said in a sincere tone, "Teacher Zhou, I only know what is right after listening to your words. Come on, I respect you." One cup.”
After hearing this, Zhou Wenlong felt happy, raised his glass and drank it all in one gulp.
Chu Ye picked up the wine bottle at hand and filled it for himself, then put it aside, then picked up the wine bottle at Zhou Wenlong's hand and filled it up for him.
Zhou Wenlong focused on looking at Chu Ye and did not pay attention to these details.
After pouring the wine, Chu Ye pushed the peanuts towards him again, "Teacher Zhou, continue eating."
Zhou Wenlong obediently picked up a dozen peanuts. During this period, he felt salty, so he poured two glasses of white wine into his stomach.
Slowly, the corrosion of alcohol crept into his brain. He shook his head, trying to stay awake, but he was only clear for a while before the drowsiness crept up again. He wanted to open his mouth to say that the two of them should go back, but the person on the other side heard that Continue to lament, "Teacher Zhou, you are the only one who doesn't believe the rumors in the school. You are the only one who believes from beginning to end that I am not that kind of person."
Chu Ye's eyes were full of trust, which made Zhou Wenlong feel carried away. He spoke a little loudly, "Of course, I believe Teacher Chu is not that kind of person. Of course, you made a mistake before and talked about someone. This is indeed wrong. , but luckily you found your way back.”
"Let me tell you, you young girls like to look for those educated youths... those pretty boys and so on. These are not reliable. They are all temporary novelties. As a person... you have to be down-to-earth. Look at me, for you. ...I just came to this school, this is called giving!”
Chu Ye nodded excitedly, toasted him again, and then urged him to eat peanuts, "Alas, I understood it too late."
"It's not too late. Although you... have some flaws, it still... lets you... know... who is good to you. You have to... know in your heart." Zhou Wenlong was a little drunk and spoke intermittently.
He couldn't open his eyes, half-closed, and his head began to fall on the table.
Chu Ye spoke softly, very softly, as if the spring breeze was blowing into his ears, "Oh, it's useless to say so much now. I don't know who spread the rumors. I'm so angry that I want to leave the school."
"No!" Zhou Wenlong was startled, but in the end he couldn't withstand the power of alcohol. He leaned on the table and murmured, "Don't go, don't go... I believe you, I know who... passed it."
"Then tell me, who spread those words." Chu Ye's tone was as soft as a ball of snow-white cotton. Zhou Wenlong felt sleepy after listening to it, and his mouth was no longer under the control of his brain. He subconsciously replied, "Hey... It’s me.”
"Tell me again, who is spreading those rumors about me in school?"
The voice in his ears was so soft. Zhou Wenlong's unconscious brain vaguely remembered that it was Chu Ye's voice. She had never spoken to herself in this tone. It sounded like she was lying on a cloud, feeling itchy in her heart. He smiled foolishly. , "Hey, it was me...I, I said it at...school."
"Papa!" Zhou Wenlong's cloud bed was shattered by thunder. He opened his eyes dimly, and Chu Ye was still in front of him. She stood up at some point, and looked down at him from a high position, with the coldness in her eyes like a sharp sword.
A bad premonition crept up his spine and into his head, making him sober up. There were footsteps behind him. He turned his head and saw Chen An and the dean standing at the counter, looking at him coldly.
It's over.
This was the only thought left in Zhou Wenlong's mind.
