When you go up to the top floor, the first room on the right is the principal's office. The doors and windows face west, a typical west-facing orientation. Through the glass windows of the corridor, the sun at three or four o'clock in the afternoon comes in hotly, as if it is about to ignite this corner out of thin air.

Staggering the place where the temperature rose, Xie Lin leaned against the wall facing the office.

Lifting his head, he looked at something—

Once a sign with the words "Principal's Office" appears, such an ordinary room will be given an invisible pressure, and it will be so unpleasant to look at.

Especially the door that was so dark that it was almost pitch black.

Xie Lin lowered his eyes, plugged in his earphones, and began to concentrate on watching the video.

The first time I followed Wu Yiming, but it was mostly smooth. After watching the second and third times, many details gradually surfaced...

This is a dangerous building that has been mostly demolished. You can see the dilapidated walls, exposed reinforced concrete, and piled up messy gravel and bricks. It is not an ordinary monitoring facility, but a serious hand-held DV, which can be heard in the video. Clear vocals with a slight echo.

The place is very open, the wind was not small that day, and it seemed to be drizzling, the soil on the ground was soft and sticky, and everyone's clothes were covered with a lot of mud.

Lin Jiuxin was the only one in school uniform.

This is in line with Xie Lin's conjecture——

Lin Jiuxin clashed with this group of people without planning and without preparation. Even if he didn't fight often, anyone with such a brain would know that even if he slapped him, he would have to take off his school uniform. Xie Lin, the primary means of getting picked up by the school, doesn't think that Lin Jiuxin will be unexpected.

It's not that I didn't think about it, it's that I didn't have time to take it off.

This urgency was also reflected in the man he knocked down to the ground. Fuck, I was wrong, on that beast, his pants were not fastened at all, and if you zoom in carefully, you can still see the exposed goods.

It wasn't just him. In the first second or two, Xie Lin noticed that there were others frantically packing their pants...

The video was played back over and over again, Xie Lin's face sank to the extreme, livid and dead silent.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes wide and pressed the screenshot button several times in a row.

The DV pixels are super high, and the enlarged picture is not distorted. It is a set of car window photos.

It was very late at night, and there were no lights in the dangerous building area. It was all powered by a car parked in an open space with its headlights turned on.

On the car window, a shaking figure.

It looks like a girl, and the shot is very short. Xie Lin tried his best to capture it, and kept intercepting——

She seemed to be groping for something on the ground, and finally caught a corner of the clothes under the wheel. Her long black hair kept shaking when she pulled the clothes, and her shoulders were exposed, and she could even be seen from curling up to crawling and kneeling To reach the back waist, buttocks and whole legs of those clothes time slippery...

The girl has no clothes on.

I couldn't see my face clearly, and the shadow of the car window was still too blurry.

Is it useful?

Didn't know who she was.

……

The earphones were caught off guard.

Xie Lin didn't move, his eyes still fell on the phone, and a mezzo-soprano made him look up.

That voice was so special, Xie Lin said hello: "Teacher Zhen."

"explain."

The double-speed speech is so concise, and one more word is not wasted.

His gaze crossed Zhen Wanrou's shoulder and landed on the door behind her, no one came out except Double Speed.

"Practice listening." Xie Lin also cherished words like gold.

The mobile phone was snatched away. This action was fierce and sudden, which was equivalent to an attack to some extent. Xie Lin almost slapped his head teacher out of reflex.

Glancing at VOA Slow English on the screen, Zhen Wanrou turned her gaze back to Xie Lin's face.

Xie Lin was not polite: "What? Is there a rule that you are not allowed to practice English listening in the corridor?"

"In front of the principal's office." Zhen Wanrou corrected her.

"Not allowed to practice English listening in the corridor and in front of the principal's office?" Xie Lin said again.

I have to say that such a hard-core head teacher is really rare and hard to come by. No matter the contemptuous gaze Zhen Wanrou looks at, or the sneer on the corner of her lips, Xie Lin can feel the unique and powerful aura among the teachers.

"Xie Lin, don't be so arrogant, this is not a place for you to gossip."

"I'm not this kind of person, Teacher Zhen." Xie Lin said calmly.

"You better not." Pointing at the phone, Zhen Wanrou walked backwards, and the moment she turned around, she threw the phone behind her back, that action made her heart beat faster.

After receiving the hand, Xie Lin couldn't bear to look away, clicked his tongue, and just turned around, the door opened.

"—Yes, Teacher Zhen has this kind of temper, but it's a good thing to show it. It shows that she is open-minded, so don't worry about her tricks behind the scenes——No, really not, Principal Jiang, you worry too much, I won't take it to heart, of course I won’t be afraid of her! There are many teachers who are better than her—”

Let's talk in your sleep.

Glancing at the little old man from another class, Xie Lin looked behind him with a sneer. He was a middle-aged man with big arms and a round waist and a smooth head that could be used as a light bulb. Lin Shaonan and the three of them blocked the door of the principal's office, blocking Lin Jiuxin inside.

"Okay, let's go here first today." Principal Jiang patted the little old man on the shoulder kindly, intending to end the conversation: "Teacher Yuan has worked hard."

Teacher Yuan said calmly, Principal Jiang had already turned to Lin Shaonan: "Father Lin Jiuxin has worked hard too, he came all the way here, if you can't ask, just change the environment and take your time, Teacher Zhen has always been Lin Jiuxin's friend Head teacher, she is actually very anxious, too anxious, her attitude can't help but—"

"Principal Jiang, I don't mean to blame Teacher Zhen at all, but I should say sorry to you and Teacher Zhen. The child has caused trouble for the school and the teacher." Lin Shaonan said sincerely, "The fight took place outside the school. It is our parents who are not strict in discipline, so please don't implicate the head teacher."

"No, don't worry," Principal Jiang said in a tactful tone, "I won't give any advice on how to deal with this matter until the investigation is clear. It's just that the Parents' Committee reacted too violently. In order not to make the situation worse, Lin Jiuxin... ...just suspend classes for a few days, I hope you understand."

……

What he said after that was nothing serious, Xie Lin didn't listen to it, his eyes only narrowed to one person.

On the whole, Lin Jiuxin maintained his usual character of dragging the king, the more things get worse, the less he can see the movement, and he didn't show too much emotion, but in this corridor with the sun set and the light dim, his whole body was dyed a layer of love for no reason. Sombre dark.

After talking with the principal, he turned around and saw Xie Lin, Lin Shaonan was startled.

He moved his mouth as if to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything, and went downstairs alone.

Maybe it was an illusion, but for a moment, Xie Lin felt that this middle-aged man, who was approaching his age, seemed not as tall and straight as before, as if he had aged a lot in the past two hours.

Lin Jiuxin made a movement unexpectedly. When Lin Shaonan turned his back to him, he turned his face to stare at him. Xie Lin couldn't figure out exactly what kind of eyes it was. It seemed that there were too many indescribable and indescribable things. Inside, you have to look carefully, but you can't see anything...

He didn't close his eyes until his back turned around the corner of the stairs. Lin Jiuxin approached Xie Lin and asked him for cigarettes. Just as he was about to fumble in his pocket, the man didn't want it anymore. He stood there and watched Xie Lin for a while, then turned around go downstairs.

Xie Lin looked down at the toffee he had taken out, put it back, and followed behind Lin Jiuxin.

**

The day gradually faded, the sky turned dark, half gray, half dark, most of the street lights on the campus were on, the three of them walked in a line, maintaining a certain distance from each other.

At six or seven o'clock, those who should be dismissed from school, those who should be dismissed from work, the placement test is over, and even the senior high school students who usually study late at night have disappeared. Nan Xiao fell into an unprecedented tranquility, only occasionally listening to In the early autumn, there were insects chirping and birds chirping, and the voices of two students next to the green space fluctuated....

Wu Yiming and Chen Xi sat there for a long time.

The soymilk machines all left obediently. On the contrary, the second master did not set an example to listen to Xie Lin's words. Whether he was unwilling or too worried, anyway, he waited for this situation. Chen Xi was his pull, of course he was willing wait……

Two hours later, after feeding countless mosquitoes, large and small, he slapped himself on the thigh again. Wu Yiming was furious as he twisted the broken mosquito corpses and a little blood on his palm.

He cursed angrily, and before he could swear a few cursive words, Chen Xi hurriedly grabbed him.

He pointed out to him three people walking in a row along the avenue.

The parking lot was on their side, and Chen Xi took Wu Yiming to hide behind the nearest tree.

The three walked and came to a car.

It was easy to identify the middle-aged man who seemed to be Lin Jiuxin's father. He got into the car and sat in the back seat with Lin Jiuxin and Xie Lin.

Chen Xi looked straight.

If Xie Lin expressed condolences to Comrade Lin Jiuxin on behalf of Soymilk Machine, and followed him out of the teaching building, even if the three of them said goodbye at the school gate, it would not be an exaggeration, but they just got into the car so happily? !

Chen Xi patted Wu Yiming: "Hey, look quickly! How did you get in the car?!"

"Papa Lin is so enthusiastic about sending him off," Wu Yiming intentionally perfunctory, got up while sighing, "Oh, I fed two and a half catties of mosquitoes for nothing, so I can't ask any more questions, I'll go back..."

A ruthless tugging, pulling the skin and flesh like clothes so brutally, Wu Yiming almost cried out, but Chen Xi covered his mouth.

It can't be that simple!

Judging from Xie Lin's unceremonious behavior towards other parents' parents, who didn't even have the most basic courtesy, Chen Xi didn't think it would be like this... Before he could think about it carefully, another even more unbelievable thing happened——

For some reason, the back door opened suddenly, and Lin Jiuxin felt like being dragged out of the car by Xie Lin, and Xie Lin's hand was tightly grasped on his upper arm.

One walked, and the other was dragged away. When the two passed in front of the car, the window fell, and Lin Jiuxin's father stretched out his head. The sound brought by the wind was a little far away, but it was clear enough——

"Linlin, where are you taking Xinxin?"
