eighth story

But now that the certificates have been issued, there is no reason for Wan to return them, so Wu Qinyang can only keep them.When Zhu Mingyue thought that her parents had written a thank-you letter to the school without telling her, she felt so embarrassed that she wanted to dig a hole and bury herself in it, but she didn't know what expression to use to face Wu Qinyang.Zhong Liyin looked at the expressions of the two of them, smiled slightly, and then said: "It's nothing, let's go." He picked up his schoolbag and walked out.

Wu Qinyang and Zhu Mingyue hurriedly said: "Goodbye, teacher." They said in unison, the voices overlapped, and Zhu Mingyue couldn't help but peek at Wu Qinyang again.

Wu Qinyang only felt that Zhu Mingyue looked at him very strangely today, and worried: "Squad leader? Are you okay?"

"Ah?" Zhu Mingyue didn't expect him to ask such a question, and subconsciously avoided Wu Qinyang's eyes, "No...no." She thought to herself that Wu Qinyang was really an elm lump, and thought of herself as a girl. Reserved, of course he would not open his mouth to explain Wu Qinyang's doubts, so he quickly changed the subject and said, "Mr. Zhongli is gone, let's go too."

Wu Qinyang responded, and put away the big red certificate.Zhu Mingyue exhaled lightly, this kind of solitude made her heart beat uncontrollably, and her face almost burned.Zhu Mingyue pretended to touch her hair to cover up the unnatural expression on her face, and the two walked out of the classroom together.

There was no one in the corridor on the third floor of the social building, even the students in the classroom next to it were pitifully small, only the lights in the corridor were still on silently.Zhu Mingyue carried her small handbag and looked down at the elongated shadows of herself and Wu Qinyang on the ground, vividly depicting a man and a woman walking side by side.Zhu Mingyue pursed her lips, and subconsciously licked her dry lips with the tip of her tongue, and then mustered up the courage to say, "That...Wu Qinyang?"

Wu Qinyang stopped naturally, and said in response, "What's wrong?"

"I want to say thank you..." Zhu Mingyue said with some embarrassment, "Mr. Zhongli said just now... If I hadn't called you over rashly that day, you wouldn't have encountered those things... But if it weren't for you, I might not be able to stand here and talk to you today. So... Even if I have said it, I still want to say it again, Wu Qinyang, thank you, thank you for saving me... in my life When you thought you were going to die."

Wu Qinyang looked at Zhu Mingyue with some doubts: "Squad leader..."

"Actually, to be honest...my parents, and Shanshan's parents, I'm afraid they still don't know what happened that night. Shanshan and I are the same... I was so scared at the time, I was completely scared. I don’t know what I’m doing now, let’s talk about that kind of monster... adults won’t believe it.” Zhu Mingyue paused at this point, and smiled helplessly, “So until now, my parents still I thought Shanshan and I had met a gangster... But I knew that the situation at that time was a thousand times or ten thousand times more terrifying than encountering a gangster... What kind of thank-you letter my parents would write is their responsibility , but I want to say 'thank you' to you, this is my business."

"Thank you, Wu Qinyang!" Zhu Mingyue finished speaking quickly, turning around and running away without giving Wu Qinyang any time to react.

"Ban..." Wu Qinyang looked at Zhu Mingyue's back, wondering if he should stop her, but with this hesitation, Zhu Mingyue had already run downstairs.

Wu Qinyang stood in the same place and recalled what Zhu Mingyue said just now, and he didn't know which subtle nerve was touched——Zhu Mingyue's thanks, judging from the situation at the time, he should be worthy of it, right?

Although he was born with a golden spoon in his mouth and grew up held in the hands of his family, he claims to be shrouded in the aura of a natural Jack Su, but Wu Qinyang is very aware of the fact that he is actually a war scum, if he can't wait until that day Jue came to rescue him, I'm afraid he was talking to Zhu Mingyue in the underworld today.He knows that everyone in this family has a past that he doesn't know about, Qin Yao does, Wu Chunxing does, Qin Zhi does, Xiao Yunhe does, even Xuan Jue does, he doesn't want to be the one protected by his family, worry-free A large greenhouse plant that grew up carelessly—the feeling of being unable to save oneself and waiting to die is simply horrible, so he wants to become stronger, and wants to "become a powerful adult like his uncle and aunt", this wish has been from his childhood to the present— — never changed.It was just this incident that made him reconsider his position - he wanted to be with Xuan Jue, not just to overcome the obstacles of Qin Yao and Wu Chunxing, he wanted to be on the same level as his brother On the surface, just like Qin Zhi and Xiao Yunhe, that is the ultimate goal he wants to achieve.

Even if he knew that he might not be able to reach the height of Qin Zhi and Xiao Yunhe in his whole life, it was not a reason for him not to work hard.

Strictly speaking, Zhu Mingyue should be thanking Xuan Jue.

Including myself, everyone should be grateful to Xuan Jue.

Wu Qinyang was silent for a long time, and suddenly remembered the appearance of Xuanjue who appeared from the darkness holding a lantern that day. At that moment, it seemed that all the light was concentrated on him. At that time, Xuanjue gave him the feeling that Zhu Mingyue saw himself appearing. The feeling of peace at the time——Wu Qinyang couldn't help but slightly raised the corners of his mouth, and lowered his head slightly while smiling, which was a very gentle expression.After a while, he covered his forehead with his hands, raised his head slightly, and saw the shining white lights in the corridor, like a group of illusory, bright shadows.He unconsciously grasped the certificate with the bright red cover in one hand, and Zhu Mingyue's words of thanks completely inspired his fighting spirit, the battle flag fluttered, and for the first time he felt that kind of pure blood boiling and fighting spirit - completely She didn't care to appreciate the deep meaning of shyness and timidity in Zhu Mingyue's words that belonged exclusively to the girl's family.

But it's not a bad thing either.

Wu Xiao, who was completely unaware of female hormones, completely cheered up, twirled the certificate in his fingers, and went downstairs quite easily.

But he didn't notice that there was a pair of eyes watching him and Zhu Mingyue in the dark.

Zhong Liyin stood sideways in the shadow of the corner of the corridor, with a gloomy expression, raised his eyebrows slightly after a while, and said in a low voice: "Wu Qinyang..." His cold eyes were completely different from the persuasive and seductive teacher just now.

But soon, he regained that relaxed and friendly expression, and went downstairs from the stairs on the other side of the corridor.

Zhu Mingyue ran a long way, but still felt that her face was burning.

The weather at the end of February was still very cold at night, but the beating heartbeat made Zhu Mingyue unaware of the cold.Zhu Mingyue slowly slowed down her steps and breathed smoothly, feeling a little regretful that Wu Qinyang didn't catch up, and she couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.What she said just now was indeed her impulse, but she almost confessed her whole heart.Zhu Mingyue covered her face with her hands in some annoyance, took a deep breath, and when she put her hands down, she saw a couple walking past her arm in arm very intimately, making her purse her lips soundlessly.

She didn't know when she fell in love with Wu Qinyang—maybe it was just the moment when Wu Qinyang stepped forward, which made her put all her hopes on this person, and wait until the crisis was resolved before she wanted to withdraw , but it was too late.

Zhu Mingyue didn't expect that she would fall into such a seemingly long-term crush. Wu Qinyang is handsome and has good grades. Judging from various clues, his family background should also be quite outstanding. Having the courage to stand up is the most precious thing for ordinary talents. Zhu Mingyue really can't find a reason why she doesn't like him.Zhu Mingyue sighed deeply, took a few steps and sat down on the stone pier of the gazebo, and began to call Ma Shanshan: "Shanshan...I'm so confused now, I always feel that I have done something wrong... "

Over there, Zhu Mingyue was talking to her best friend about her inner distress, and from time to time rejected Ma Shanshan's seemingly unreliable suggestions, but here Wu Qinyang had already returned to the dormitory, and began to figure out how to make her happy. Qin Yao accepted the fact that she was already bent.Wu Qinyang has always been his mother's enemy, and he knows Qin Yao's personality well. Facing the possible thunderous wrath, after careful consideration, it is safer to decide to adopt a gradual approach.Wu Qinyang twirled the pen between his fingers, looked up at Tan Yi who was just coming out of the bathroom after taking a shower, and a very absurd idea suddenly appeared in his mind.

"Hey, I said Jerry..." Wu Qinyang said, "Let me ask you something, you and your teacher Tang Yu... No, I mean if I ask you to do me a favor..."

Tan Yi raised his eyebrows, wiped his hair with a towel and said, "Let's listen."

Wu Qinyang told Tan Yi what he thought, and looked at Tan Yi with a look of anticipation after speaking, and asked, "What do you think?"

Tan Yi really wanted to touch his head to see if he had a fever, but seeing Wu Qinyang's excited face, he didn't have the heart to pour cold water on him, and was thinking of how to tactfully criticize Wu Qinyang, who is ridiculous. Thoughts, but there was a slight movement in my heart, and I felt that this was a good time to ask Wu Qinyang for help, so I thought about it, and slowly changed the subject: "By the way, I remember you told me about the case in the cafeteria. The chief is your aunt, right?"

"Ah?" Wu Qinyang said, "Well..." I don't know why Tan Yi suddenly mentioned this, but thinking of Tan Yi's frankness to himself in his relationship with Tang Yu, and his intimacy as a "same kind", He didn't choose to hide it, and said tacitly, "What's the matter? But my aunt has gone out recently, do you want to find him?"

"I'm not looking for him." Tan Yi said, "Well then, I'll help you with this favor, but you have to do me a favor too..."

What information Tan Yi exchanged with Wu Qinyang that night is temporarily unknown, anyway, until the next morning when Wu Qinyang was in class, he was still thinking about what Tan Yi told him last night.The high math courses in the new semester are still very simple for Wu Qinyang, and he can get full marks in the exam with his eyes closed, so he can be unscrupulously distracted in class, hesitating in his heart whether to tell Xuan Jue about it, and I was afraid that my "plan" would cause some misunderstandings because of this incident—anyway, Tan Yi asked him to help in no hurry, and even if he wanted to help, he had to think about it in the long run, so Wu Qinyang put the matter on hold for the time being. mentioned.

As the bell rang for the end of get out of class, Wu Qinyang finally ended his long and deep thinking, feeling that he had a long way to go, and he really felt that "heaven will send a great responsibility to everyone".Wu Qinyang loosened his shoulders, decided not to think about these laborious things for the time being, and then listened to the movements of the students around him.Recess is the best time to get all kinds of gossip. Wu Qinyang lives alone in Building No. [-], and usually has no chance to get in touch with his classmates, but he is very happy to hear all kinds of anecdotes that happened in the dormitory. A girl sitting in the front row said to another girl, "Did you see the one that was forwarded on Weibo this morning?"

The other was a little puzzled and said, "Which one?"

"The one at the station, don't you still know about it?" The girl replied, "There is a long Weibo that I sorted out, and many people on my homepage have reposted it. It is said that the friend of the post owner has already called the police, but I don't know. Is it a prank, or would it be too scary if it wasn't a prank?"

Wu Qinyang became interested at this time, and couldn't help but ask, "What station?"

"It's just a girl who went home from a meeting with friends last night and disappeared on the subway..." The girl seemed a little surprised that Wu Qinyang would interject, glanced at her phone again, and continued to explain, "She first posted on Weibo Said that the subway stopped at a station called 'Xuejun', and after getting off the train, I heard a strange ringtone at the subway station... You can check it out on Weibo, search for 'Pan be careful and work hard to fight the sixth level', it's her .”

Wu Qinyang didn't remember that there was a station called "Xuejun" in the subway line of City A, so he took out his mobile phone and searched for the account mentioned by the girl in the front row, and soon saw several Weibo posts posted by the person concerned last night .
