God's Gift

When he was in college, because he loved the ocean, he was admitted to a normal university in a neighboring province. After graduation, he stayed in the neighboring province to teach in a high school with a passion for science.

His life has been smooth sailing after he started working. His excellent teaching ability and kind personality made him very popular among many elders and students.

He sent off three classes of students and watched those children run towards their dreams. He also became a qualified teacher with a stronger ability to teach students well, and everything went smoothly.

But beautiful things always have to be broken to be unforgettable.

It was just an ordinary afternoon. Chen Qingqiu walked on the street where hibiscus flowers bloomed as usual, looking at the sunset in the sky, and walked home slowly.

But he saw his student, a girl named Zhang Shiqi, running across the street in panic, with several boys chasing after her.

Chen Qingqiu reacted quickly. He chased after her and rescued Zhang Shiqi, who was forced into an alley and nearly molested, and called the police for her.

Chen Qingqiu thought that the matter ended here.

But a few days later, he became a molester.

Zhang Shiqi, who was rescued by her, cried and exposed his crimes in front of the media. His other students helped her speak out, saying that Chen Qingqiu had always behaved inappropriately towards Zhang Shiqi.

Chen Qingqiu stood in front of the TV, his eyes full of confusion.

When did he molested his students and when did he behave inappropriately towards Zhang Shiqi?

But whether he is guilty or not is not up to him to decide.

Things that never happened became ironclad evidence in the mouths of others, and his previous gentleness and kindness became shackles that proved his hypocrisy.

Chen Qingqiu pleaded not guilty but was found guilty.

He went to find Zhang Shiqi, who was evasive and only said that she was willing to forgive him, so he could escape punishment.

Everyone around him advised him that this was the best outcome.

But as a teacher, those accusations killed him.

His childhood dream was like the bricks and stones under his feet, carrying him up step by step, but now it has collapsed.

Chen Qingqiu was unwilling to accept it. He refused to admit his guilt, so he insisted on appealing and was unwilling to give up no matter how many times his appeal was rejected.

The principal found him and told him to give up and stop doing these meaningless things. He said that Chen Qingqiu had offended the people above him, and those people made him guilty, so he was guilty. If he persisted like this, it would only lead to worse results.

Only then did Chen Qingqiu know the truth of the matter.

It's not that he did anything wrong, it's just that he offended someone.

It turns out the truth is so simple.

Those who found him guilty knew his innocence better than he did.

He felt hatred for the first time. Even when he was hated by everyone and lived like a rat in a sewer, he had never hated so much.

Chen Qingqiu even began to doubt whether everything he did made sense. Should he save Zhang Shiqi?

But those doubts only lasted for a short time. Over a long period of time, many people around him proved to him that it all made sense. Chen Qingqiu couldn't deny them just because of one person.

But he still couldn't give up. He was too ashamed to see his parents, so he struggled alone in that city. He lost his job and was almost destitute.

Perhaps those people above were really annoyed by him, and on a night with gentle wind, Chen Qingqiu had one leg broken.

He finally left the city.

-

"I didn't compromise with them, I just had to survive first." Chen Qingqiu's eyes fell on his lame leg, and he suddenly laughed sarcastically, then raised his arms to cover his eyes.

Those injustices are wounds so deep that you can see the bone and they will never heal.

"I don't know how long it will take, but whether it takes ten years, twenty years or a lifetime, I must see my innocence cleared."

Ah Chou knelt in front of Chen Qingqiu, gritted his teeth, and said in a trembling voice: "They deserve to die, I will kill them!"

Chen Qingqiu was attracted by Ah Chou's hateful voice. He looked at the crazy hatred in Ah Chou's eyes, stunned for a second, and said: "The purpose of telling you these things is not to ask you to help me get revenge, but because you are willing to believe me."

"But I want to avenge my teacher." Achou moved forward a few steps, closer to Chen Qingqiu.

"No, you don't have to do this." Chen Qingqiu shook his head, "This is all my business, it has nothing to do with you."

"It has something to do with me." Ah Chou raised her head and looked up at Chen Qingqiu. Two tears slid down the corners of her eyes, and her scattered hair slid to both sides.

"I like you, teacher."

Achou saw shock in Chen Qingqiu's eyes, and he took a few steps back, away from Achou.

What happened next was exactly what Achou had expected. Chen Qingqiu rejected her, found out that the letters were written by Achou, and began to distance herself from him.

He is the untouchable moon.

But she still wanted to be closer to him, at least so that she could see her moon a few more times before he left the village.

The children in the village were ignorant. After hearing the rumors about Chen Qingqiu, they would always scold him when they met him on the road. Some even threw stones at him. This was not good, but Ah Chou found a good excuse for himself and was able to walk by Chen Qingqiu's side.

She wasn't trying to touch the moon, she was just trying to protect him.

In fact, only Ah Chou knows what really happened.

Does she really not want to touch the moon?

she thought.

Therefore, when she learned about the rumors about Chen Qingqiu, she even felt secretly relieved, as if this would bring her one step closer.

But just like the letters she wrote herself, the moon will always be the moon and will never dim because of anyone.

The gentler and kinder he was, the more despicable and darker she seemed, and the more she realized how far away from him she was in the dirty mud.

One day later, Chen Qingqiu received news from the city that Zhang Shiqi had changed her confession, and he had a chance to clear his name.

That was the first time that Achou saw such a happy smile on his face, he smiled until tears filled his eyes, unlike his previous smiles which were always mixed with sadness and helplessness.

Achou was happy for him.

There are millions of people in the world who love the moon, but her love is so small that even if she sends her love, it will be eclipsed by countless stars.

As autumn passed, the weather became colder and a layer of snow accumulated on the mountain peak above the Wanfo Temple.

Achou went into the mountain again. She climbed up along the cracks in the cliff and finally reached the top of the mountain and saw the snow-capped mountain peaks.

The gentle moonlight fell on the snow. Achou stared blankly at the snow reflecting the moonlight, and then reached out and scooped up a handful of snow, as if he was scooping up the moon.

Achou put the snow in his pocket, and after climbing down the mountain, he immediately took it out and held it in his hands. The moonlight fell on the snow again.

She held the moon in her hands and walked down the mountain carefully.

Her hands were frozen red, but the snow continued to melt and the water dripped down her hands.

When they reached the foot of the mountain, the last bit of snow disappeared in Achou's palm, along with the moonlight.

Achou raised his head, stretched out his stiff hand, and touched the moon from a distance.

She went home and wrote the last letter, but that letter was never delivered to Chen Qingqiu.

He still discovered how dirty the village was, but Ah Chou knew very well that he could not save those girls. She spoke harshly to him for the first time, and then watched Chen Qingqiu leave in disappointment.

-

The retrospection ends here.

The blue light in Ah Chou's eyes gradually faded. Yu Youyou retracted her claws and looked intently at Ah Chou's ghost. She said to her in a childish but serious voice:

“You know what happened in the future.”

Achou's movements were unusually slow, as if they were frozen in time. She slowly turned her head and looked at Yu Youyou.

Yu Youyou looked at her for a few seconds, her eyes distant and calm, and said word by word:

"The past cannot be changed. No matter how many times you go back, what is supposed to happen will still happen."

Achou's body began to twitch gradually, and a scarlet tear fell from his eyes.

Lu Keming stood aside. He didn't know what Yu Youyou and Achou saw, but from the moment Yu Youyou touched Achou, his eyes fell on Yu Youyou. His thick eyelashes drooped, covering the unknown look in his eyes.

Until Yu Youyou started talking to Achou, Lu Keming concealed his thoughts as if nothing had happened, walked behind Yu Youyou without changing his expression, and was on guard against Achou.

But Achou did not make any other movements. The skin on her face began to fall off, revealing her original appearance.

The surrounding space began to distort and time ran rapidly. Within just a few seconds, time came again to the time when Chen Qingqiu and Achou were arguing.

The few people who had already left returned to the door of Grandma Li's house and watched Chen Qingqiu and Achou arguing. After Chen Qingqiu left, the sky was covered with dark clouds and it began to rain.

But this time, the rain gradually turned into snow.

"The flashback has been lifted?" Shen Minghua glanced at the mountains in the distance, then looked at the white snow floating in the sky, and exclaimed in surprise.

Lu Keming carefully examined Yu Youyou, glanced at the snow in the sky, and responded calmly.

“Time is starting to run normally, but we’re still in the past.”

After saying this, Lu Keming paused for a second, and a faint arc appeared on the corner of his mouth: "But what happened later will be seen soon."

At the same time, Yu Youyou's intelligent brain vibrated.

She lowered her head in confusion and opened the intelligent brain, only to see that the task interface that was originally inaccessible was opened and the tasks inside were revealed.

"Please follow the original character's ending: die to save Granny Li."

Yu Youyou only took a glance and closed the task panel without changing her expression. Lu Keming heard the vibration of the intelligent brain, looked down at Yu Youyou, and asked softly, "What's wrong?"

Yu Youyou looked up at Lu Keming with her bright eyes, blinked twice innocently, and said, "It's okay."
