The whole empire knew the general was going to get a divorce

Autumn in Krems is a bit cold.

Reston University is a comprehensive university located in John Town, Krims. It was founded by private individuals. After more than 200 years of development, the school is also quite large.At five o'clock in the afternoon, the students leave school on time. By six o'clock, the school is basically empty, and the whole campus gradually quiets down.

Looking out from the window of the office, you can just see the campus avenue covered with maple leaves, which is quiet and desolate.Ai Wen stretched his waist, looked away, and his eyes continued to fall on the computer in front of him.There was the sound of closing the door next door, followed by the tapping of high-heeled shoes. After a while, there was a blonde standing at the door, half of her body leaning in.

"Oh my God, Ivan, is that old devil tormenting you again?" Alice's exaggerated expression contained sympathy.

Alice is Ivan's colleague and a mathematics teacher at Liston University. This hot-looking girl is actually an academic fanatic. When she encounters an interesting mathematics topic, she instantly turns into a primitive person. At that time, she completely lost her current temperament and became Crazy and sloppy.

Aiwen shrugged his shoulders, showing a helpless smile, imitating the appearance of the director of the supervision department panting heavily due to obesity: "Ai... Aiwen, enter all the information of these new students into the system, tomorrow I will Come and check. These are very important, if something goes wrong, it will cause great damage to the reputation of the school!"

Alice was immediately amused, and laughed loudly: "Hahaha, the old devil must be pissed off seeing you like this! There's no need to be so anxious about these materials. It took at least four or five days before, and he deliberately tormented you. "

"Who told him to dislike me?" Ivan said helplessly.

When Aiwen came to the school to report with his own information, Colin, the director of the supervision department, was extremely dissatisfied.Although Cypress College is the best school in the empire, it is only a university, the same university as Liston. How can the students of Cypress College be qualified to teach?He felt that Aiwen had lowered the overall level of Teacher Liston and dragged everyone down.Of course, more importantly, Ivan took his nephew's position.Colin's nephew was also applying with Aiwen before, but the recruitment department chose Aiwen.Colin is a caring person, and he has always been worried about this matter, so he will leave these tasks that do not require brain power to Ivan, and deliberately make things difficult for him.

It is Colin's common method to make things difficult for Ivan by asking him to finish a few days' work in a day.But Ivan has no choice, Colin is his boss and owns shares in the school.

Alice left after expressing her sympathy again, leaving Ivan alone in the entire teacher building.

Looking at the dense data in the computer, Ivan rubbed his temples. He was a little tired, but he didn't stop working because he wanted to go back early.

At the back, even coffee couldn't stop Ivan from drowsiness, and he continued almost relying on willpower.He had to get it done, or Colin was going to make a big show about his laziness tomorrow and find an excuse for him to resign.Reston University teaching is the best job he can find, good pay, lots of free time, he needs money, so he needs this job.

At nine o'clock, Aiwen's cell phone rang suddenly, which also woke Aiwen up instantly.

"Dad!" A childish voice came from the phone.

Hearing that voice, Ai Wen suddenly showed a smile on his tired face, and said softly: "Baby, do you miss Dad?"

"Baby's little head is full of dad!" As if to prove his miss, the little doll on the phone tried his best.

Ai Wen chuckled twice, and at that moment, it seemed that all the fatigue disappeared: "Sleep first, baby, Dad will be back later."

"Then when Dad comes back, the baby is asleep, Dad remember to kiss the baby!"

"Okay, baby, good night."

After hanging up the phone, Ivan held the phone and stared blankly at it, with a smile on his lips.When he put down the phone, Ivan instantly gained motivation, rubbed his stiff arm, and continued to work.

When Ivan got off work, the entire town of John was immersed in sleep, and there were no pedestrians and cars on the street.Aiwen has his own cheap second-hand electric car, which just comes in handy at this time.It takes at least two or three hours to walk from Liston to home, but with this car, it only takes half an hour.

It was already twelve o'clock when Ivan returned home, and the whole house was pitch black.Ai Wen quietly opened the door, and saw a figure in the corridor.The strong smell of smoke invaded from the nostrils, irritating Aiwen's nerves. Aiwen coughed twice, and he could clearly see the figure in the dark.

"James, haven't you slept yet?" Ivan asked in surprise.

"Mom took Ryan to sleep, and I couldn't sleep." James said annoyed.

The landlord, Mary, is a kind woman and James' mother.Four years ago, he gave birth to Ryan and met Mary and James at the most helpless time.For the past four years, the mother and son have taken good care of him and Ryan.When Alvin goes to work, Mary will help him pick up Ryan and take Ryan to sleep.For this mother and son, Ivan can only be grateful.Four years of getting along has made them a family.

James is his relative, so Ivan is very worried about James' appearance.James often suffers from insomnia. Ivan often sees James wandering around when he comes back from overtime work. Sometimes when he wakes up in the middle of the night, he will see James outside the window.Like a ghost, James' thin figure appeared in the darkness, with a bit of desolation and bewilderment.Mary said that James used to suffer from depression, and then he gradually got better.

"An old problem again? Have a drink together." Ivan suggested.

"Go to sleep, it's so late, I'll just walk around." James passed Ivan and walked straight out.

Watching James' back disappear into the darkness, although Ivan was already exhausted, he couldn't leave James alone.Ivan followed closely behind James, and as he walked the long street, James finally stopped under a camphor tree.

Leaning against the tree, James rubbed his hair irritably, then picked up another cigarette and said, "Ivan, don't follow me, go to sleep."

In the dark, James' back is extremely thin, as if he would be swallowed up by the night at any time.

Ivan stood leaning against the tree, watched James exhale a smoke ring, and suddenly said: "In the first year of coming to Krems, I often couldn't sleep. I kept forgetting someone, but as long as I When I close my eyes, I will see him. Then I miss him more and more, and miss him to the point of suffocation. It is really scary. At that time, I really feel that I am going to die. Then I dare not sleep. Keep your eyes open till dawn. James, are you afraid of something?"

James shook his head: "It's an endless road, surrounded by darkness, as long as I close my eyes, I will stand on that road, and I can't get out no matter how I walk. I used to take sleeping pills, but now there are no sleeping pills." used."

"Then why do you want to come out, James, you can sit down where you are, adjust your breathing, wait for the darkness to disappear slowly, and then open your eyes, it will be dawn." Ivan said seriously.

James smiled: "Ivan, you are not a psychiatrist, you are a teacher. You don't need to use the same way you teach students to deal with a patient. It's useless. It's too late, go back."

James threw the cigarette butt into the trash can, put his hands in his pockets, and walked back.Evan followed behind him.The footsteps of two people came from the dark alleyway, one in front and one behind, overlapping each other.

Before James walked to his room, he suddenly asked Ivan: "Ivan, is the man you saw in the dream you just said is Ryan's father?"

Ai Wen nodded: "In fact, Ryan saved me. He let me get out of the past and really start my own life."

"Then do you still love him?" James continued.

Ai Wen shook his head: "If there is anything to say, it can only be hate."

James nodded: "Good night." After finishing speaking, he turned and entered his room.

"Good night."

Ivan first took a hasty shower, then put on his nightgown and walked outside Mary's room.As much as he wanted to sleep with Lane, it was so late that he couldn't wake Mary and Lane.Ai Wen stood quietly outside the door for a moment, then printed a kiss on his hand and printed it on the door.

"Baby, good night." Ivan said softly.
