Wanderer

Chapter 21 Years

Wu Guangming was standing on the podium giving the opening remarks of the parents' meeting, when he turned his head and saw Wen Hai walking in from the door, the bloody back molar from that year flashed before his eyes, and his cheek hurt inexplicably.

The dog-like Wen Hai nodded and greeted him, and smiled apologetically, then walked straight to the last row of Bai Yunqi, and sat down peacefully.

"..." Wu Guangming seemed to understand something, and felt that he had discovered something terrible.

The teachers of each subject came to the stage to speak one by one, and briefly analyzed the results and existing problems of the midterm exam of each subject.Except for Chinese language, Bai Yunqi is the first in other subjects, so the name has a sense of presence in the analysis of the teachers of each subject. The physics teacher who was once cried by Bai Yunqi also specifically praised the boy by name, saying Not only does he have a high score, but he is also worth learning from other students in terms of problem-solving ideas.

"I know why they all love to hold parent-teacher meetings for Bai Tong'an." Wen Hai propped his chin and thought, "It's really the treatment of Guangzong Yaozu."

After all the teachers finished speaking, Wu Guangming came to the stage and said a few polite words like "Thank you for coming today despite your busy schedule". The people below applauded sparsely, and the parent meeting was officially over.

Wen Hai, who had no experience in this field, looked around and found that most of the parents had gone out through the front and back doors, and only a few were surrounding Wu Guangming to ask about their children's situation, so they stood up calmly and prepared to leave, but they were surrounded by parents Wu Guangming suddenly shouted: "Hey, that kid who didn't learn well, stop!"

"..." Wen Hai stepped out of the back door with one foot in a dilemma for a few seconds, following the bad feudal habit of people having to bow their heads under the eaves, he took it back slowly.He straightened his collar, walked over like a wolf with a big tail, and said politely: "Teacher, are you looking for me?"

Several parents may often communicate with Wu Guangming, standing in the same place without seeing anything, and looking at the new face of this parent.

Wu Guangming said cheerfully: "Let me introduce to you, this is my former student, who almost got into Beijing University back then, and now..."

"Now I'm just eating and waiting to die, and I'm going to end my life." Wen Hai answered slowly.

The parents all laughed, and one of them asked, "What are you doing here today, are you visiting Teacher Wu?"

Wen Hai smiled and said, "Just like you, I held a parent-teacher meeting for my son."

"Oh...you..." The parent looked at Wen Hai in amazement, thinking that he was only in his twenties, and he didn't expect to be the father of such an older child, "Whose parent are you?"

"Bai Yunqi."

"Oh, your child did really well in the test this time," another parent interjected, "That's really a tiger father without a dog."

"Thank you, but he is not my own."

Wu Guangming: "..."

Parent: "..."

"I'm just kidding." Wen Hai showed his usual smile when he asked middle-aged women about the client, "I'm Bai Yunqi's cousin, and his parents are busy with work."

Wu Guangming quietly watched him pretending to be aggressive. The parents saw with a wink that he might want to have a private chat with Wenhai, and they all said that they would go to the office to wait for him. After a while, there were only a few in the classroom who helped clean up Of the students, only Wu Guangming and Wen Hai were left.

"Why are you here?" Wu Guangming asked with a smile.

Wen Hai took it for granted, "I'm Xiaoqi, so why can't his brother come here?"

Wu Guangming waved his hand: "Bo Yunqi didn't tell you about the parent meeting, and I didn't notify you. How did you know?"

Wen Hai coughed a few times, "Isn't it customary to hold a parent-teacher meeting after the mid-term exam? You'll know as soon as you inquire."

"Hey!" Wu Guangming said in amazement, "It's amazing, you still have this kind of heart?!"

"Ah... I was entrusted by someone..." Wen Hai pinched his ears uncomfortably, and after hesitating again and again, he said directly: "Then what... Teacher Wu, Xiao Qi didn't tell me about it because he was afraid of trouble. , nothing else, you adults don’t care about children, don’t mention this in front of him.”

"You really raised him as your son?!" Wu Guangming felt refreshed, thinking that Wen Hai, a little bastard who didn't recognize you back then, would be begging for help like this today, so he nodded happily and said, "Okay, I'll do it too." Knowing Bai Yunqi's situation, don't worry too much, the kid is in pretty good shape now, and it won't be a problem to keep going to a key university for the college entrance examination."

Wen Hai nodded hurriedly.

Seeing his low-browed and pleasing-looking appearance, Wu Guangming felt the joy of "revenge", and made up the knife without pain: "Besides, what can I care about, this child is more worry-free than you were back then." How much."

"..."

Walking out of the classroom, Wen Hai saw Bai Yunqi and Bo Tongan talking side by side against the railing from a long distance away, and suddenly recalled that he often chatted with Bai Tongan like this when he was in high school. At that time, urbanization had just begun to develop. Leaning on a hill that has now been flattened, the two of them chatted indiscriminately towards a lush forest. Occasionally, a few birds flapped their wings and jumped out of the forest, neighing and flying towards the edge of the city.

"More than ten years later, is Bai Yunqi still in contact with me?" A strange thought inexplicably popped up in Wen Hai's heart.

What can more than ten years do?Bai Tong'an, a kid who can't figure out the attributive clauses, is passionate about starting a business, and now he has started to discuss cooperation with well-known foreign companies. He spends three months abroad every year; He suffered the last secondary illness, rolled around the border of life and death, put away his hostility and began to struggle to survive; even Wu Guangming became a provincial famous teacher from a trainee class teacher who just graduated from a normal school...

The old tree at the school gate finally became a piece of rotten wood, and it passed without paying attention for more than ten years.

"Did you get scolded by Old Wu?" Bai Tong'an was chewing gum, saw Wen Hai walking over with a blank face and asked casually, and just after he finished speaking, he felt someone's breathing tightened, and he caught sight of the suddenly tense face from the corner of his eye. Bai Yunqi felt amused in his heart.

Wen Hai took out two green arrows from his coat pocket, peeled off the candy wrapper and said, "Do you think Xiao Qi is the same as you were back then?"

Bai Tong'an sneered: "I told Xiao Qi all the embarrassing things you did in high school... Xiao Qi, do you know that this Chinese class was fined to copy "Li Sao" fifty times while sleeping? Brother Wen copied it for half a semester, and now he can recite it backwards...Hey, you dare to bully me in front of my brother?!"

Bai Tong'an dodged Wen Hai's kick, turned his head to Bai Yunqi and said, "Xiao Qi, help me hit him."

Wen Hai raised his eyebrows: "Come on, Xiao Qi will definitely help me... Why are you shaking your head secretly, do you still want to eat meat?"

Bai Yunqi: "..."

Bai Yunqi, who was shot innocently with an arrow in his knee, stood there dumbfounded. He was slapped lightly on the back of the head by Wen Hai, and an electric current rushed down his scalp instantly. The person who pinned his head unconsciously said: "Go tonight!" Shall I eat there?"

Bai Tong'an glanced at his watch, shook his head and said, "Just now the legal department called to say that there is something wrong with the qualification of a project, and there is an emergency meeting to be held, and we got the company at 06:30."

Wen Hai was very calm and didn't have the slightest intention to hold back, "Oh, in fact, I'm just being polite, goodbye."

"..." Bai Tong'an didn't hear that Hai was so shameless, he was worried that his younger brother would not dare to be virtuous, and in his head, speaking Chinese, English and French, he hacked this thing that unloads grinds and kills donkeys into thousands of cuts, and squeezed out a piece of paper. Smiling with a toothache, he said, "Then you are very polite."

"I can't help it. After all, I was not punished by Teacher Bai to recite the text until 03:30 in the morning."

"..."

The corner of Bai Yunqi's mouth twitched, and he almost laughed.

After sending Bai Tong'an away, Wen Haiteng took action to clean up Bai Yunqi's "deception" this time. This guy is also very self-aware, and he was prepared to be beaten and scolded early in the morning. When he saw that he turned his head Looking at him with a smile on his face, he immediately put on a gesture of "I am guilty, I plead guilty and hope the government will deal with it lightly", and looked behind Wen Hai with evasive eyes - a few students who hadn't left asked curiously. Head over here to watch the excitement.

As soon as Wen Hai raised his hand, Bai Yunqi quickly took a step back like a frightened rabbit, then seemed to be frightened by his own actions, pursed his lips tightly, and walked back tremblingly, lowering his head and not daring to go Seeing Wenhai, his hands were tightly clenched at the seam of his trousers—a murderer awaiting death sentence was nothing more than that.

"You..." Wen Hai was extremely helpless, "Are you so afraid of me?"

Bai Yunqi glanced at him in a panic, then lowered his head and shook it invisibly.

——That look was frightening and humble, and completely extinguished Wen Hai's last bit of anger.

"It's nothing." Wen Hai didn't wait for Bai Yunqi to make another move, and grabbed his shoulders. The muscles under his palms tensed and stiffened, and he was even trembling slightly, "Don't be afraid of me, I will I won't hit you."

Bai Yunqi whispered, "I was wrong."

"It's okay, it's not an example." Wen Hai was not used to this kind of intimacy, so he patted the other person's shoulder stiffly, embraced him, and took the little boy out in this shoulder-to-shoulder posture, saying: "You are physically The teacher praised you today, saying that you have a very new way of solving problems."

Bai Yunqi: "...Didn't she say that my letters are ugly?"

"She didn't say it." Wen Hai gave a short laugh, "Now I know, I'll pass by the bookstore later and buy you an English copybook."

"..."

"Wu Guangming also praised you, saying that you are in good condition, keep it up."

"Ah."

"Xiao Qi," Wen Hai sighed, "tell me, what are you afraid of?"

Bai Yunqi paused, "I'm afraid it will delay your work."

"Well, that's it." Wen Hai looked forward, "If you make up a few more carefully, I might believe it."

"..." Bai Yunqi was a little aggrieved, "Really."

"Twenty percent... of the reason is because of this." Wen Hai hooked the child's chin, "You don't need to say the rest if you don't want to, but don't be afraid in the future, raise your head and talk to others."

Bai Yunqi was "tucked up" by this frivolous touch, and almost lost his wits. Just as a blush appeared on the tips of his ears, there was a sudden fierce quarrel in front of him. The inside was shattered, and a stool flew out in a whirl, hit the wall of the corridor and fell apart.

Wen Hai looked up at the class board, and muttered, "Isn't Class [-] always the key class? What's going on?"

Bai Yunqi's complexion changed drastically, and just as he was about to speak, a group of people poured out from the door of class one, the leader was the slightly embarrassed head teacher, who kept persuading him, "Calm down..."

There were also a few parents who came out with the class teacher, standing quietly on the outside watching the play.

Then a thin figure came out from inside, holding his head and talking non-stop, and finally couldn't bear it and shouted behind him: "I have no money! You fucking have the ability to kill me!"

Before she finished speaking, another stool fell to pieces at her feet, followed by the man's yelling and cursing: "Where did your mother hide the money?! I hate you..."

The man picked up a stool leg and threw it at the squatting person cursingly. The girl squatting there with her head in her arms kept dodging. Several parents around her went over to persuade them symbolically, but they were all rejected. The drunken man pushed away, still chasing the girl and beating her relentlessly.

Just as Wen Hai wanted to stop it, Bai Yunqi, who was beside him, turned into a violent afterimage and rushed towards the man, knocking the man down one meter away, and the stool legs in his hand flew away out.

"Are you okay?!" Bai Yunqi didn't care how many people were looking at him, and reached out to lift up the girl who was half lying on the ground, "Are you hurt?"

Sun Miao stared at him blankly, her tears rolled down a few times but none of them fell, "I didn't... be careful!"

Hearing the screams of the onlookers and feeling a gust of wind behind him, Bai Yunqi hugged Sun Miao without hesitation and leaned down, caught the drunk man with his back and gave him a stick with all his strength. After a muffled grunt, he pushed Sun Miao aside, turned around and kicked the man's stomach, twisted the man's wrist and snatched the bench leg, hesitated for a few seconds and caught sight of Wen Hai who was coming, threw the stick on the man's stomach aside.

The drunk man was severely kicked by Bai Yunqi's kick. He coughed a few times, gasped and blew his nose, and was about to rush over to teach this child who appeared out of nowhere. Being stepped on heavily, he immediately lost consciousness in his calf and threw himself forward uncontrollably.

Wen Hai moved extremely quickly, taking advantage of the other party's unstable center of gravity, grabbed the drunk man's shoulder with one hand, grabbed his wrist with the other, cut his arm behind him, pressed down with his whole body, and the man was caught half kneeling On the ground, he kept struggling, cursing and cursing non-stop.

"Don't move, policeman." Wen Hai squeezed his wrist hard, and immediately heard a scream.

"Fart your grandma! I still think he's your ancestor! Your mother is so fucking..." All kinds of foul language kept coming out of the man's mouth, and several people present showed unbearable sarcasm expressions.

Sun Miao bit her lip tightly, trembling all over, Bai Yunqi standing aside didn't know what to do, so she could only block her behind, trying to reduce her sense of existence.

"Xiao Qi," Wen Hai said impatiently, "take out the police officer ID from my pocket and let him see it."

"It's not illegal for me to beat my own child!"

"First of all, you are picking quarrels and provoking trouble. If someone is injured, it is the crime of intentional injury or abuse. The specific handling will be handled by the police station in your jurisdiction. I think there are surveillance cameras in this corridor. Who is the head teacher? Stay as a witness... ...Is that kid hurt?"

Sun Miao was taken aback for a moment, realizing that he was asking herself, and quickly shook her head.

"Oh, that's it." Wen Hai still held the man's wrist with one hand, took out his mobile phone with the other hand, and ordered: "Xiao Qi, there is a sign at the corner of the corridor, go and see what the security phone number is." .”

The drunk man was completely overwhelmed, kowtowed to Wen Hai tremblingly, apologized vaguely, and kept saying, "Miaomiao, Miaomiao, hurry up and talk to me."

Sun Miao gave him a disgusted look, then turned her head and ignored him.

Bai Yunqi came back in less than half a minute, fluently reported a series of numbers, and then stood in front of Sun Miao.Liu Xinyu, whom he met at the stairs just now, also followed. He originally planned to join in the fun, but when he turned around and saw Sun Miao in the crowd with disheveled hair and red eye circles, he was stunned in an instant, dazed by Bai Yunqi's eyes Pushed to the periphery.

Liu Xinyu scratched his hair, and couldn't help stretching his neck to look in the middle. He accidentally saw a big hole in the back of Sun Miao's shirt, revealing a bit of "shouldn't be seen", and that glance made him blush. Su Linen turned around in a hurry, and after a while, feeling that it was still inappropriate, she raised her hand and took off her baseball shirt, walked over and patted Sun Miao on the shoulder with her eyes closed.

Because Sun Miao was often with Bai Yunqi, and had a few conversations with Liu Xinyu, now that he was in a state of embarrassment and was seen by people he knew, the tears that had been suffocated came out again, and he asked in a trembling voice: "what are you doing?"

"Then what..." Liu Xinyu didn't dare to open his eyes, "Your clothes...uh...a bit..."

Bai Yunqi turned his head to look, his face was also red, and he almost whispered, "You... cough cough... put it on."

Although Sun Miao didn't know what she looked like behind her back, she couldn't help blushing seeing the faces of the two boys had a tendency to spontaneously ignite. She took the baseball shirt and put it on her body, and whispered to Liu Xinyu, "I'm sorry. ……Thanks."

Liu Xinyu quickly waved his hands, "It's all right...what's wrong with your face?"

Sun Miao rubbed the back of her hand and said indifferently, "It's okay, it just broke."

Bai Yunqi secretly shook his head at Liu Xinyu, motioning him not to ask any more questions, Liu Xinyu nodded knowingly, and hurriedly left with an excuse.
