"you've been drinking?"

Gu Mochen glanced at her and didn't answer. He bent down and tucked Xiaobei's quilt up: "Go to bed first, brother will come back to accompany you in a while."

After finishing speaking, he turned his head and signaled her to come out with him.

"I drank tonight, so I can't see you off. I'll coax you, Xiaobei. You go back first." When he spoke, his back was facing her, but even if he couldn't see the expression, he could hear it from his tone. Full of boredom and irritability.

Tan Man frowned as she watched the figure walking towards the sofa in the living room, and quickly sorted out her emotions before he turned around.

She smiled: "Okay, then I'll go back first."

Tan Man pursed her lips. She was just an ordinary person, and there would inevitably be hidden resentment in her body. This time, she didn't want to pay attention to it anymore.

Walking to the entrance, Tan Man suddenly thought about the business trip tomorrow, and turned to look at the person who was leaning on the sofa with his eyes closed.

"By the way, I'm going to ask for three days off. I have something to do at school."

Gu Mochen opened his eyes again, turned his head to look at her, his brows furrowed slightly.

"Three days?"

She nodded: "Well, starting tomorrow, come back on Friday."

He paused, as if he didn't understand, but also as if he was thinking, and after a while he said slowly: "Okay."

The moment she turned around, Tan Man softened her heart: "If you feel uncomfortable, drink some honey water."

"Understood." He took a deep breath, "Sorry, I can't see you off, let me know when we arrive."

"It's ok."

After the door closed, Tan Man stood there for a while before leaving.

Humans are really contradictory animals, they clearly want to get closer, but stubbornly back away.

At noon the next day, the plane landed at Beijing Capital International Airport. As soon as Tan Man got off the plane, she shivered all over. She took advantage of the situation and pulled up the scarf to wrap half of her face before going out with the crowd.

Another male teacher in charge of administration from the same school went to the meeting together. The two came to the designated hotel and checked in. Tan Man went to her room first.

The person sharing the same room was a colleague from Guangdong, a girl about her age. When she opened the door and entered, the other party was speaking Cantonese affectionately on the phone. Hearing the sound, he turned to her. Put a smile on your face.

After Tan Man informed her family and colleagues that she was safe, she sat on the bed and looked at the schedule that had just been handed out before the other party finished calling.Tonight is a meet and greet, the official meeting is scheduled for tomorrow, and you can leave in the morning of the day after tomorrow. The schedule is relatively easy. Tan Man was thinking that she could go back early the day after tomorrow, but she received a call from the male teacher who came with her.

The other party said that he wanted to buy some specialty products the day after tomorrow, so could we book the air tickets together in the afternoon.

That teacher is a senior with 20 years of teaching experience, so it's hard for her to say anything as a newcomer.

After the formal meeting the next day, Tan Man was shocked for the first time.

The current situation of special education in China has both a sad side and an exciting side.

In the field of education, special education is in a relatively weak position. In some areas, it has even become a marginalized field of education. Teachers and students in general education and special education have little interaction and communication, while in real society Here, most people will unconsciously regard these children as alternatives.

But fortunately, the country has paid more and more attention to it, and the field of special education has gradually come into people's attention. The education system for the disabled, from pre-school basics to higher education, has been continuously improved. Learning standards and other policies have given everyone a glimpse of hope.

Tan Man understands that only those who have been in close contact with these special children can feel that they are actually yearning for the outside world just like normal children.

During the whole day of exchange and discussion, the teachers from all over the country shared their feelings and expressed their helplessness, which made them comfort and help each other like a group of special education people.

Back in the hotel room at night, she received a call from Qiao Sen.

"Manman, Qiao Ning said you went on a business trip to Beijing?"

"Yes." Tan Man thought for a while and said, "Are you feeling better?"

Qiao Sen seemed to chuckle on the other end of the phone: "It's okay, the hospital gave me a few days off and stayed at home."

"That's a good time to take a break."

"Manman, I..." He hesitated to speak.

"what happened?"

"When will you come back? I'll pick you up at the airport then."

"I have a plane tomorrow afternoon, don't bother, I don't have a traffic jam by taking the subway."

"It's okay, I'm idle anyway, just going out for a drive."

"Then let's talk about it then." Tan Man thought about perfunctory.

"That's it, you send me the flight number, and I will pick you up then."

After hanging up the phone, Tan Man sighed, subconsciously clicked on the address book, slid to the column of Gu Mochen, stared blankly for a while, and then turned off the screen again.

A night without dreams.

In the past two days, Gu Mochen was as busy as usual. This morning, he went to the district court to do business, and met Chen Rui who happened to come to the court.

"What a coincidence, I met you here!" Chen Rui saw Gu Mochen who was about to leave on the parking lot of the court.

"Why are you here?" Gu Mochen stopped.

"I'll come here to get an investigation order." Chen Rui said, "It's almost time for lunch, how about having a meal at noon before going back?"

Gu Mochen looked at his watch and nodded: "Okay, then I'll wait for you in the car."

"Okay, I'll be back soon!"

Ten minutes later, two men showed up at a Chinese restaurant near the courthouse.

"I heard that you and Lao Xiao are very busy recently. The Hangzhou branch is really about to open?!" Chen Rui picked up the Kung Fu teacup and poured seventy percent of their quilts full.

"Yeah, I stayed in Hangzhou for a week last week, and it may open in the next year." Gu Mochen picked up the cup and took a sip.

"Is that your past, or Lao Xiao?"

"I just told him that I couldn't leave. After all, Xiaobei is still young. Maybe he will pay more attention to the matter over there."

"Well, is Xiao Bei all right?"

"I've improved a lot from before. When I come back after the new year, I have to think about going to elementary school."

Chen Rui couldn't help teasing: "Thanks to Xiaobei, you will have rich experience in raising children in the future."

Gu Mochen shook his head with a wry smile.

"How are you and that little teacher?" Chen Rui had a smirk on his face, "Since I sent you a photo last time, did you take any action?"

Gu Mochen paused: "What nonsense, I've said it all, she is Xiaobei's teacher."

"Well, when I'm worrying about it, but I said, whether it's her or not, you have to hurry up, otherwise. Next summer, when I invite you to drink my son's full moon wine, you will still be alone!"

Hearing this, Gu Mochen raised his eyebrows and looked at him: "Why, Zhao Lei has it?"

Chen Rui nodded proudly.

Gu Mochen smiled and said: "Congratulations, you have finished all the important things in life without making a sound. How many weeks old is the child?"

"I just found out that it's only over six weeks now." After finishing speaking, Chen Rui's face darkened slightly, "However, considering that during the premarital examination, Zhao Lei was found to be a carrier of the thalassemia gene, so it may take a while Go do some checks."

Gu Mochen thought for a while: "When I was studying, I seem to remember that as long as you don't have it, the child basically has no major problems."

"Yes, that's what I told Zhao Lei, but she was worried, so she went for a checkup. Anyway, she is pregnant, and she is ready to go to the hospital every three days."

At this time, the waiter came up with the dishes, and after serving all the dishes at once, the two began to eat.

"Before you two got married, you knew she was a carrier of thalassemia?"

"Yeah, at that time, Zhao Lei still brooded about it for a long time, as if she had some incurable disease." Chen Rui put a peanut Joe into his mouth, and said while eating.

"Then what did you think at the time? After all, it is something that will affect the next generation." Gu Mochen raised his eyes and asked.

"How can I think about it? I don't think much about it. When I become an adult, I find that I carry the thalassemia gene. It is mild and has no effect on daily life. As for the child, I am a normal person, so it has a high chance of being healthy. Besides , Because she is a carrier of the thalassemia gene, it is too irresponsible to break up with her." Chen Rui smiled lightly, "When I was chasing Zhao Lei, I didn't consider other things at all, and I was only thinking about what to do. After chasing her, it is even less likely to have other thoughts when she gets the certificate. It is too uneconomical to give up the happiness you know now for the sake of unknown difficulties in the future."

Gu Mochen nodded and said nothing.

"When Zhao Lei stabilizes, call Lao Xiao and come to my house for a meal."

He chuckled: "Okay, as long as you can get him."

……

After eating and drinking, the two of them rushed back to work without talking much.

All afternoon, Gu Mochen had difficulty concentrating. He looked at the computer screen several times, but his thoughts went elsewhere.

"You can't give up the happiness you know now for the sake of unknown difficulties in the future."

Thinking of Chen Rui's words, he put down the pen in his hand, slumped on the back of the chair, and stared straight at the glass partition opposite. Outside the office, the busy figure back and forth was reflected in his eyes through the frosted glass. The space finally gained a little more popularity.

He suddenly wondered if he was too stubborn for Tan Man.

Turning his eyes back to the table, looking at the mobile phone on the table, he pulled out the phone out of nowhere, and when he realized it, the other end had already spoken.

A mechanical female voice informed that the dialed phone was turned off.

He breathed a sigh of relief, but felt a sense of loss for no reason.

Staying in the office until the end of get off work, Gu Mochen packed his things and left the law firm on time, and drove to the kindergarten to pick up Xiaobei home.

The plane finally took off after a delay of nearly an hour, and landed at Pudong Airport two hours later. Tan Man saw Qiao Sen as soon as he left the arrival area.

After Tan Man bid farewell to his colleagues, Qiao Sen walked over.

"Wait a long time?"

"It's okay." Qiao Sen glanced at her face, "Is it better?"

Tan Man didn't react at first, she paused, and then touched the wound on her cheek: "It's okay, it's all scabbed over."

Qiao Sen still had some guilt in his eyes, Tan Man smiled and said, "Let's go."

He nodded and pulled the suitcase for her: "Go to eat, what do you want to eat?"

Tan Man actually didn't plan to have dinner together, but the plane was late, and it happened to be the meal time at this time, so she couldn't refuse, so she said, "You decide, I'll treat you, thank you for coming to pick me up."

He didn't refuse, and the two walked to the parking lot.
