Eye of the Leopard

"I just transferred from Kaixian Middle School to Bashu Middle School this semester. I often have to report to the principal's office early in the morning. The day before October 10, Director Mao Xiaopeng called me. He said: 'Principal Wang turned over your Class schedule. You didn’t schedule classes on the morning of the 9th, so he asked you to go to the principal’s office on the sixth floor at 9:45 in the morning. He wanted to know and care about your adaptation to Bashu.’ I wanted to be more temperamental that day, so I wore strappy stilettos Go. At 7:50, I waited ahead of time at the door of the principal’s office, facing the reminder on the sticky note on my mobile phone, thinking about how to report to Principal Wang later. The door of the vice principal’s office was suddenly opened, and a high school girl rushed Come out. The sound insulation in the office is so good. I waited outside for so long, but I didn't notice anyone inside. With a 'bang' sound, the girl slammed the office door and rushed up the spiral stairs. [-]:[-] was displayed on the upper right corner of the phone. "Liang Yan paused, recalling memories.

"The spiral staircase leading to the seventh floor of the laboratory building?" Xu Yiqing carefully confirmed.

Liang Yan said, "Yes, it's the outer staircase."

Xu Yiqing thought: This is just as I guessed, there are indeed people on the Z-shaped spiral staircase.The laboratory building blocked the spiral staircase on the lower floor, so when looking up from the top of the teaching building, Teacher Liang Yan could not be seen.

Liang Yan went on to say: "The girl ran too fast. I was a little worried, so I followed her up the stairs. She didn't stop, but I was wearing strappy stilettos, so I went upstairs much slower than her. When I reached the end of the spiral staircase , She was already standing on the roof of the seventh floor. There was only a single circle of stainless steel railings on the roof, the height was only to the middle of the calf, and nothing could be prevented." Liang Yan recalled in detail, "She said to me on the roof: "Teacher, don't come up!" I didn't dare to go up. She stepped outside the railing. The outside of the railing was very narrow, and the wind on the roof made her crumbling. I persuaded her from below: "Student, if you have something to discuss." You are still young, there is nothing you can't get through." She shook her head: "I can't get through. Teacher, if my mother asks, you can tell her for me that she is the best mother, but I am the most failed daughter. I am sorry for her .' The class bell rang at eight o'clock, which was very harsh. She jumped down in front of my eyes." Liang Yan covered her face with her hands and stopped talking.

She didn't speak for a long time, so Xu Yiqing could only ask softly: "Then...you went back to the administration building?"

"Yeah." Liang Yan lowered her hands and picked the wooden bench seat with her right index finger nail, "I went downstairs thinking that I should notify the principal, but also thought that other people must have found out and I didn't need to notify, so I sat on the sixth floor of the administration building. I was in a trance on the stairs. After some time, Vice Principal Zhang Chengjun came out of the office. The door of the principal’s office was open, and Principal Wang was flipping through his cell phone inside. The Vice Principal asked, “Teacher, did you see Yao Lingling running up this morning?” Building?' I said: 'Yes, she fell from the laboratory building.' The vice principal said: 'I set out a set of questions in the office. After I finished, I swiped my phone and found that her circle of friends was full of her. How could she really Going to seek death?" He seemed shocked. Principal Wang came out of the office and said, "Cheng Jun, did Yao Lingling come to your office this morning?" The vice principal said, "Yes. I took her to junior high school. She will be tested in September. She didn’t do well in the exam, so she came to talk to me. I comforted her a few words. She said like crazy that her parents had high expectations for her, and that leaving the Qingbei class would disappoint her parents. But I can’t do anything about her test scores. So I called She went home and communicated with her parents.' Principal Wang said: 'Cheng Jun, stop blaming yourself. Teenagers are impulsive, and no one can stop them. I will deal with it from the Municipal Education Commission.' The vice principal said:' Yao Lingling said in my office that she didn’t have to face her parents when she died. I should have stopped her at that time. I didn’t expect that she would really jump off the building just because of this.’ Well, President Wang is right Teenagers are too impulsive." Liang Yan squeezed the plastic bag of peppery beef with her right hand.Those red oils were squeezed and deformed, as if blood splattered, "Principal Wang's phone rang. He picked it up and said: 'Hello. I can't stop it. Parents know that Yao Lingling jumped off the building and went to the hospital first. The first thing is to send The emergency water drops have been transferred to my circle of friends. It turned out that the principal was in the office looking through the circle of friends just now. He asked the person on the other end of the phone to deal with the strike. After hanging up the phone, he said to me: "Mr. Liang, I don’t need it today. Reported. You go back to the office.'”

Xu Yiqing thought: The person handling the strike in our class should be the grade leader or the teaching director Mao Xiaopeng.

Liang Yan said: "Before I left, I heard Principal Wang say to the Vice Principal: 'Xiaopeng is stuck on the way to the Second Hospital. Strike. Team leader Yin came to me at noon: "Mr. Liang, are you the last to see Yao Lingling?" They found you from the surveillance camera and wanted to ask you for questioning. I will accompany you to the small meeting room on the top of the building.' I went upstairs with him. He said in the elevator: 'I don't know what's going on today, Yao from the first year of high school. Lingling jumped off the building, and the third class of the second year of high school went on strike. 'When the police are about to finish their questioning, you come up and call me."

"Mr. Liang," Xu Yiqing said cautiously, "Then why did you donate so much 5000 yuan to Yao Lingling?"

"I didn't avoid you by losing the amount, you saw it." Liang Yan said, "I felt a little guilty after seeing Lingling jump off the building. I usually run very fast. If No. 9 didn't wear strappy high heels, I might be able to stop Yao Lingling. I'm really sorry I didn't hold her back." Liang Yan felt that she had talked too much, "You are only 17 years old, although you can't forget the scene of jumping off the building, but you won't understand the teacher's guilt for the student falling from the building."

"Teacher, I understand." Xu Yiqing said suddenly, "I know what it's like not to save others. I will always remember it, and I can't forget it even in my dreams. Once faced with a similar situation, I will very much want to make up for it."

"No one ever murdered Yao Lingling. I've thought about it many times these days, jumping off the building was Yao Lingling's own decision, and neither you nor I can make up for it. Now that she survives, I guess you also donated to her water drop. Xu Yiqing, you have done everything you can. Don’t overthink it. Study hard.” Liang Yan picked up the plastic bag, “I took the beef.” She walked towards the dormitory building.

Xu Yiqing stood up and walked towards the school gate.Teacher Liang Yan explained her abnormal behavior.

But with Yao Lingling's mathematical foundation, how can she be recommended to high school by competition?

Thinking of Zhang Chengjun, the vice principal who escorted her, Xu Yiqing thought again: Why is Yang Yue in the teacher's dormitory building on Sunday?And why did you hit Teacher Zhang?Purely because he has a mental problem?
