Tsinghua University

Shen Tinglan and Li Xu stood at the door of the political and educational office on the first floor of the Deyu Building.Because the three of Tian and Lin were beaten seriously, the school decided to send them to the hospital for examination first. The focus of this conversation was Shen Tinglan and the others.

The first person to be called into the political and educational office was Yang Yan. He didn't know what to ask, and he was indeed a persuasive one. After he made it clear, he returned to the classroom to attend class.

The second is Jiang Susheng, who has not come out yet.

The corridor was quiet, Shen Tinglan was bored, silently counting the Brazilian wood leaves around him.When he counted to No.17, he heard Li Xu say in a low voice: "Thank you."

Shen Tinglan turned to look at Li Xu: "If I didn't run into this, what are you going to do in the future?"

Li Xu was speechless for a while, if Shen Tinglan hadn't encountered this incident, he might still find a way to collect the so-called "protection fee" and continue to be useless.

Shen Tinglan knew what Li Xu was thinking, and said slowly: "I have been bullied before, from kindergarten to junior high..."

Li Xu didn't interrupt him and listened quietly.

"At that time, I often wondered if I was really as stupid and useless as those people said. It didn't take long for me to understand that it was them who were stupid and stupid, and I was the best in the world. Later They came to grab my stuff again, right in the classroom. I thought I couldn't take it anymore, the weaker I was, the happier they were. So I got a ruler, the kind that math teachers used to use to draw on the blackboard Big wooden ruler, you know? I smack them in the mouth with that kind of ruler.

"Then they beat me. I knew I couldn't beat me. I caught someone and bit them. In the end, I bit the person's arm and bled a lot. I cried and complained to the teacher. Later, I put a wooden stick in my schoolbag." , Whoever provokes me will hit him.

"In about a few weeks, no one dared to bully me anymore, and they all avoided me." Shen Tinglan paused, and then said, "Of course I didn't tell you to fight, it's not good to fight, good students don't Fight. I mean, be confident."

Li Xu didn't speak, and lowered his head even lower.The lighting in the corridor was not good, and Shen Tinglan couldn't see his expression in the shadows.

"Shen Tinglan."

Jiang Fusheng unscrewed the door and walked out, "Director Yang is calling you."

He nodded, turned around and walked into the political and educational office, and closed the door: "Mr. Yang is good."

Yang Wenyu sat at the desk opposite him.He unscrewed the thermos and took a sip of water. The water was too hot, which made him frown: "Mr. Yang, I'm not feeling well right now. There's a seat over there. Let's sit down and have a good chat."

Shen Tinglan slowly sat down in her seat, waiting for Yang Wenyu to speak.

"Student Jiang Xusheng told me about the specific situation. Did you fight because Tian Lin blackmailed your classmate?"

"Yes, I called first."

"You are very loyal." Yang Wenyu laughed, but his tone became cold again, "Tian Lin bullied Li Xu, it was his fault. But if you put him in the hospital, you are doing justice? Then the police station will close down!

"Shen Tinglan, you only came to No. [-] Middle School for a day, and you caused this incident! Do you know the consequences of fighting at school? You will be taken lightly if you are revoked from school and placed on probation! I have already called your mother. She came to pick you up and go home to reflect on you for seven days, come back and submit a thousand-word self-criticism, and then fill in the punishment..."

Yang Wenyu was still talking non-stop, Shen Tinglan didn't listen to a word, his mind was full of Yang Wenyu's words, "She came to take you home to reflect."

Shen Tinglan couldn't imagine what that "home" would be like. After a long while, he tentatively asked, "Can you not go home...?"

Yang Wenyu thought he was scared, and shook his head: "No, call Li Xu in."

"Oh." Shen Tinglan stood up from his seat dully, opened the door, and asked Li Xu to go in.

He leaned against the wall, not noticing that his hands were burned by the heater.

Jiang Fusheng saw that Shen Tinglan was unhappy, and remembered that there were still a few pieces of chocolate in his school uniform pocket, so he grabbed them all and stuffed them into Shen Tinglan's hands.

He still wishes he could be happy.

"Thank you." Shen Tinglan picked a piece, tore open the package, and put the chocolate into his mouth.It melts slowly, leaving a bit of a hard hazelnut core that is crunchy and delicious to chew.

Jiang Fusheng looked sideways at him, and suddenly asked, "Is it sweet?"

Shen Tinglan was slightly stunned: "Sweet."

"Sweet is good."

"Would you like a piece?"

"no need."

"Oh."

The two were silent for a while, and Jiang Fusheng said again: "Well, I broke your hair by cutting it, I'm sorry."

Shen Tinglan still had the sweet taste of chocolate in his mouth. He turned his head to look at Jiang Fusheng, and suddenly felt that this person was pleasing to the eye: "It's okay, my hair grows fast."

"Oh."

The atmosphere in the corridor was so still that it made people panic.They both wanted to chat with each other, but they couldn't find anything to talk about, so they fell silent again.

Not long after, the parents rushed to the school one after another.

Shen Qingyi was the last to arrive.

She and Shen Tinglan have been separated for a long time, and basically have not cared about his study. This is the first time she has been to school.

For some reason, Shen Tinglan had a strange idea in his heart.He hoped that Shen Qingyi could reprimand him like other parents did.

However, Shen Qingyi didn't show any expression, she just glanced at him indifferently, then turned her head away again, and walked into the political and educational office with her bag on her shoulders.

Shen Tinglan was slightly disappointed.

The door inside the Political and Education Office was closed, and he didn't know what Yang Wenyu had said to the parents.I moved my numb legs twice, and stood against the wall in an irregular manner.

Jiang Fusheng reminded him: "Don't stick to the wall, the wall is dirty, it's full of white dust."

Shen Tinglan didn't care: "Anyway, I have to go back and reflect on it. If the clothes are dirty, they will be dirty."

"The heart is really big." Jiang Fusheng said something disgusting, but he also imitated Shen Tinglan and leaned against the wall lazily.

As the sun gradually sets towards the west, the light in the corridor becomes more and more gentle, covering the broad Brazilian wood leaves with a layer of light gold.

The degree of participation in the fight this time was directly linked to the length of time Yang Wenyu talked with several parents. Parents involved in minor incidents left early, and parents involved in serious incidents had to stay longer.

Shen Qingyi was the last parent who came out of the Political and Educational Office. When she saw Shen Tinglan, she didn't express anything, but simply asked: "Go back to Changning Street by yourself, and remember to send me a message when you arrive."

"it is good."

Shen Tinglan instantly understood Xie Zhirong's attitude towards her, and she also understood Shen Qingyi's attitude towards herself.

He felt that he was an idealist. After more than ten years of getting together and leaving more, the family relationship was as thin as a layer of cellophane. He really shouldn't expect such a fragile thing.He left the school silently, rode a shared bicycle on the side of the road and returned to Changning Street.

At 06:30, the sun had already sunk into the horizon, so Shen Tinglan locked the car and looked up at the sky.The sunset glow is very beautiful, like a large bottle of Fanta soda was sprinkled in the sky, and when the wind blows, the changing clouds become a sweet orange smell.

Shen Tinglan returned to the room, opened the curtains of the bedroom, and the soft light instantly covered the bed.He took off his school uniform and lay down on it, feeling a terrible pain in his back.So I turned over and lay down on the pillow to make myself more comfortable.

The window was opened in the room, and the noise of the small vegetable market outside could be faintly heard.Shen Tinglan closed her eyes and gradually fell asleep.

After an unknown amount of time, when it was dark, he was awakened by the sound of a key turning the door lock.Grabbing the cell phone next to the pillow to check the time, I found that there was a missed call, and the contact was Jiang Xusheng.

At twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, Shen Tinglan didn't reply to the other party.Get up from the bed, step on the slippers to look at the door.

He changed the lock from the first day he checked in. The person outside the door tried many times but couldn't open it, and kicked the door angrily.

The door panel kept vibrating, making a "bang bang" sound.

An impatient voice came from the corridor: "Who, you don't sleep at night!"

A woman yelled: "The door to my room is broken, I can't open it!"

Shen Tinglan recognized that the woman was another neighbor of his, she was a hostess in a nearby bar, presumably she drank too much and went crazy again.

Shen Tinglan opened the door and pointed to her side: "I went to the wrong door, your house is over there."

The woman was stunned for a moment, then turned her head to look in the direction Shen Tinglan pointed.Suddenly, she laughed nervously, leaned against the wall and slowly sat down on the ground, muttering: "This is not my home."

Shen Tinglan was a little familiar with the woman's accent, and guessed that she might be from her hometown, so she sat down and asked, "Where are you from?"

"People here."

The woman's way of thinking was obviously not in line with Shen Tinglan's.She looked at him, her mouth grinned with inferior lipstick, her expression was very similar to that of a beautiful woman in a swimsuit printed on an old calendar, that professional smile was beautiful but dull: "You are at this age, you don't study hard, why don't you come out to work gone?"

"I'm here to go to school."

"Nonsense...nonsense! Today is Monday, students are in school, who are you lying to?!"

"I'm really a student. I made some mistakes in school. I came back to reflect on it for a few days."

"Fighting?" The woman laughed twice, but soon lowered the corners of her mouth, and said helplessly, "You really look like my younger brother. He also often fights in school, and he always asks his parents to go home and reflect."

Before Shen Tinglan could answer, she said with a big tongue: "I have two younger brothers who are disobedient. But the family has to raise an intellectual, so I was asked to work in the weaving factory at first. The boss is too bad, he always loves to use hands and feet, I ran to Binhai in a fit of anger..."

The hostess drank too much and talked incoherently, "Many people in the bar said that I look like the female star Zhang Panpan, and they also like to buy my wine. I just have to drink a few glasses with me every now and then, which hurts my stomach. Sometimes I feel uncomfortable Now, I have to go to the hospital by myself."

"Then why don't you go home?"

She looked up at the ceiling with her mouth slightly raised, squinting her eyes and murmured dreamily: "This world is like a big tree, and I am just an inconspicuous bug on the tree. I don't care about smell. Wherever I am happy, that is my home."

Shen Tinglan looked sideways at her, and suddenly felt that this scene was a bit interesting.A drunk hostess, and a high school student who was ordered to go home to reflect, sat and chatted together in the narrow corridor in the middle of the night.

He smiled: "Yes, wherever you live happily, you are home. The world is so big, we will always find such a place."

The author has something to say: Shen Tinglan counted Brazilian wood leaves to No. 17, a tribute to Gu Long's "Sentimental Swordsman Ruthless Sword", and Li Xunhuan counted the small fragments of plum blossoms.
