"Welcome to the BBC evening news program... Our reporter received news in the morning that Ning Qing, the 2019 Nobel Prize winner in Physiology or Medicine, a famous scientist, and the father of mutated plants, was assassinated at around ten o'clock in the morning on June 6th In Rongcheng, China. This news has been confirmed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China and Qinghe Biological Group..."

Gao Zheng, who had just returned home from the hospital after a busy day and was about to watch the news, was stunned.

"...a XX-type bullet was shot into his chest, directly piercing his heart, and he was diagnosed as dead on the spot... This father of mutated plants has made great contributions to global air and environmental purification. His research It has penetrated into people's lives..."

On the TV, the black male announcer was still rambling on about Ning Qing's life, but Gao Zheng couldn't hear it anymore.What roared in his head was an unbelievable voice: Ah Qing is dead!How can this be? !

He picked up the phone tremblingly, pressing out a string of numbers with trembling fingers.

"Beep—beep—" After a long time, the phone was picked up.

"Uncle." Gao Cheng's cold and hoarse voice sounded.

"Ah, Ah Qing..." Gao Zheng's lips kept trembling, as if he couldn't even complete a sentence.

"Ah Qing is dead." Gao Cheng's voice was like coming from the deepest part of hell, icy and cold.

"Click!" The phone dropped.Gao Zheng slumped down on the sofa with his whole body weak, and fell to the ground, covering his face with his hands.

Slowly, the cold and crystal-clear liquid overflowed from between the fingers, and fell drop by drop onto the oak floor...

When Gao Zheng met Ning Qing for the first time, he was only 24 years old.

He is the youngest of the generation in the family, probably because his family spoiled him so much that his rebellious period came very late and lasted very long. At the age of 24, he is still like a stunned young man, and he will get into trouble when he doesn't like it.

At that time, because he was dissatisfied with his family's arrangements for everything, he had a quarrel with the old man, and "run away from home" without authorization and went to be a biology teacher at the Ninth Middle School in Beijing.

On the first day of class, Gao, who was about to step onto the podium for the first time, was sorting out the lesson plans in the office. He didn't look far away until his eyes were tired.I saw under the old pear tree next to the playground, the green young man walked slowly, step by step, from the rain of colorful flowers.

In the capital city in March and April, it is the time when the spring is cold.The boy was only wearing a black school uniform, walking in the steep spring breeze and bright spring light, slender and beautiful.The white pear petals, falling with the wind, seemed to be particularly fond of the boy, always falling on his head, shoulders, and schoolbag.

The young man flicked off the petals on his clothes, gently picked up a flawless white piece, and placed it in front of his eyes, with the corners of his lips slightly raised.

A dense rain of flower petals drifted past quickly, blurring Gao Zheng's vision, but he heard his own strong heartbeat, and in a haze, he felt that that little smile was brighter and more moving than the spring.

From then on, Gao Zheng became Ning Qing's biology teacher.

He found that this child was intelligent and precocious, even a genius, but he seemed too cold, almost never smiled, his face was always expressionless, and he was a little autistic, so he couldn't help but put more energy and care into it. To guide the child out of autism.

It's just that although Ning Qing is still young, she is already very defensive.Even if he is his favorite biology teacher, it is difficult to ask anything from this child. He only found out from the information that his parents died early and lived with his grandfather.

Facing Ning Qing, his temper was actually not very good. Gao Zheng, who was born with a cold temperament, seemed to have infinite patience and gentleness.

Whether he was coldly rejected by him, or he was sweating profusely from those endless "why", Gao Zheng never lost his temper or anger, as if as long as he gets along with this child, his heart will always be peaceful and peaceful. The unruly rebellious factors were all appeased, and they obediently stopped coming out to make trouble.

Time passed like water.

In Ningqing's third year of junior high school, Gao Zheng finally opened the child's heart slightly, so that he would no longer reject his kindness, and slowly and occasionally show his naughty side in front of him.

He thought that life would go on like this, that he would always take care of this child with the mentality of an elder, watching him grow up with pride and satisfaction, and then make a great career...

But what happened next broke his ostrich mentality and made him clearly understand what kind of dirty thoughts he had for this child.

The school students left school very early that day, but the teachers had a meeting, so they got off work very late.

He rode a second-hand bicycle and left the school gate.Ning Qing's birthday is approaching, and he is going to take a shortcut and go to the bookstore to buy a set of biological encyclopedias as a birthday present to make the child happy.

When passing by a remote alley, I heard a discordant conversation.

"Little boy, Gu Yanyan is Brother Gang's horse, you dare to pick her up?!"

"...Aren't you arrogant just because the teachers like you? Why don't you speak now?"

"Tch! Don't talk nonsense, just hit him!"

"..."

This dialogue sounds like bad boys who have watched too many Hong Kong dramas are besieging students with good grades.Gao Zheng frowned. As a teacher's duty, he stopped the car, pulled the car to the side of the road, and walked inside.

There was already a fight inside, and the occasional cries of pain and the muffled sound of fists hitting flesh came to the ears.Gao Zheng hurriedly quickened his pace.

"Get out! Don't mess with me!" At this moment, a familiar childish voice came.

Gao Zheng was taken aback, why is it Ah Qing?

He became anxious all of a sudden, and ran towards the place where the sound came from with his long legs.

Ning Qing is stunted and has always been thinner than her peers. How could she beat those tall and strong bad boys?It will definitely hurt!

Panting, he rushed into the alley, and before he could see what was going on, he shouted: "Stop!"

"The teacher is here! Run!"

"Teacher Gao?!"

When the unscrupulous teenagers saw Gao Zheng, they were shocked and ran away.After all, he is still a child of thirteen or fourteen years old. Although his grades are not good, he learns ruffianly from the gangsters in the society, and he can't change his natural fear of teachers.If you do something bad, you are afraid of being caught by the teacher, please parents.

But Gao Zheng couldn't care less about chasing them, he took a breather, and ran to Ning Qing who fell on the ground in a few steps, carefully helped him up, and asked worriedly and anxiously: "Ah Qing! Are you injured?" ?”

Ning Qing followed Gao Zheng's arm, slowly got up, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said, "It's okay." In fact, he didn't suffer just now. Although he had few people and little strength, he fought fiercely and viciously , Grab one and kill it, that kind of ruthlessness makes people feel frightened, but it frightens those bad boys, many timid ones dare not come up to beat them up.

Although Ning Qing said so, Gao Zheng was worried, picked him up and walked out, the light in the alley was too dim, he really couldn't see how badly the child was hurt.

"Teacher!" Ning Qing was picked up suddenly, struggling unaccustomedly, "Put me down, I'll go by myself!"

Gao Zheng coaxed: "Be obedient, the teacher will take you to the hospital." Feeling the child in his arms struggling harder, he patted him on the back and threatened: "If the child is disobedient, I will spank you!" ! Do you want to be spanked by the teacher?"

Ning Qing froze, not daring to move.

After leaving the alley, Gao Zheng put Ning Qing on the back seat of the bicycle, and gasped when he saw the situation.

Her body was covered by clothes, so she couldn't see it; but one of her shoes was missing, revealing her red, swollen and dirty feet; the worst part was her beautiful little face, not only half of it was swollen, His eyes were still blue and black, his pink lips were swollen and swollen, and there was a trace of blood winding around the corner of his mouth.

It seems that those little kids are most jealous of Ning Qing's handsome and beautiful appearance. They will focus on taking care of that handsome face after winning the favor of most of the young girls in the class and even the school.

Looking at it, Gao Zheng felt that his heart was being pulled hard. He took out his handkerchief, carefully wiped off the blood and dirt on Ning Qing's face, and asked softly, "Does it hurt?"

The tingling pain from the corner of her lips made Ning Qing flinch instinctively, but she still shook her head and said, "I won't go to the hospital." These minor injuries will heal soon, and there is no need to waste money.

Since the death of his parents, because of his good grades and his thin body, he has been bullied by many children who are jealous of him, and he has fought a lot. He has learned how to protect himself, so the injury is not serious.

Gao Zheng frowned, and said in a stern voice: "The injury is so serious, don't lose your temper!"

Ning Qing turned her head away, didn't look at Gao Zheng, jumped off the bicycle without saying a word, turned around and left.But the tingling pain from his feet made him break out in a cold sweat instantly, and he limped and staggered when he walked.

Gao Zheng rushed over in three or two steps, picked up the person, brought him back, put him on the back seat of the car again, and fixed him with his strong hands to prevent the child from running away.

With a pale face, he said, "How dare you run away after being injured like this? You don't listen to what the teacher says, do you?"

The child still turned his head away from him, but the circles of his eyes gradually turned red.

Seeing his stubborn appearance, Gao Zheng felt tightness in his chest, as if being pricked by needles. He was angry and distressed at the same time, "How will the injury be healed if we don't go to the hospital?"

But Ning Qing still said: "Don't go to the hospital."

In a fit of anger, Gao Zheng forced the child's head to look at him, but was surprised to find that the child's eyes were red and ready to cry, and he panicked all of a sudden.In the past two years, he really hadn't seen a child cry. No matter how much he was wronged, he still looked cold. Why did he suddenly cry?

He quickly wrapped the child in his arms, gently patted the little back, and coaxed: "Be good, don't cry! Let's not go to the hospital, okay?" For a while, cold sweat broke out.

Ning Qing didn't cry, but just stayed quietly in the teacher's warm and safe embrace, although he felt inexplicably wronged.

After a long time, feeling that the child was not crying, Gao Zhengcai wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and said softly, "If you don't want to go to the hospital, why don't you go home with the teacher to apply the medicine?"

"En." Ning Qing buried her head in his arms, making a muffled voice.

Gao Zheng drove Ning Qing back to his bachelor apartment next to the school.

After returning home, let the child take a bath first, change into his own clothes, and carefully and gently treat the child's wound, Gao Zheng was relieved.Helping Ning Qing dry her hair that was still wet after bathing, and seeing that it was almost ten o'clock, she said, "It's too late now, let's stay at the teacher's house. I've already called to inform your grandfather, I didn’t tell him that you were injured, I just said that I was helping the teacher correct the paper.”

Ning Qing nodded, dried her hair, and climbed into Gao Zheng's warm and soft bed by herself.He has lived in Teacher Gao's house several times, so he doesn't feel uncomfortable at all.

The child was just growing up and fell asleep a lot. Ning Qing, who originally wanted to say good night to the teacher, yawned and fell asleep quickly before Gao Zheng came out of the shower.The child who still thinks about the teacher before falling asleep will be very happy...

When Gao Zheng came out of the shower, he saw the child wrapped in a duvet, with his little face hugged in the soft fabric, sleeping flushed.I couldn't help reaching out and pinching that cute little face, but seeing the scars on his face, I subconsciously softened my movements, and just touched him lightly.

He looked at the child's sweet and immature sleeping face with a smile, and felt a little relieved in his heart. He had finally made up a lot of this little face, and it was no longer as before, with a trace of blood gone.

It's just that looking at it, there is something strange.

Those pink lips, like a magnet, attracted his gaze, making him hold his breath involuntarily, leaning over and approaching slowly.

Finally——pasted it gently.

The soft and cool touch made Gao Zheng, who had been fascinated for a while, wake up suddenly, and suddenly realized what he was doing, he straightened up suddenly, and his face turned pale instantly.

Why would I want to kiss Ah Qing? !He was so shocked that he took several steps back, as if the child lying quietly on the bed was some kind of terrifying monster, he leaned against the wall unsteadily in fright, frightened and horrified at his obscene behavior.

Even the cold wall failed to pull back his reason, and he ruthlessly spurned himself: Gao Zheng!What are you doing?That's my student!It's a child who is less than 13 years old!

When he thought that he would have dirty thoughts and desires for a boy who could still be called a child, he wondered if he was crazy, so he stumbled into the bathroom, turned on the cold water and poured it on himself.

The cold water rushing down his head and face finally calmed him down a little.

but--

The beautiful and sweet touch and taste just now still lingered on his lips, making him unconsciously reminisce about it.

Gao Zheng couldn't help covering his face and smiling wryly.It turns out that I am a //child//obsessive?The crush is still a boy!

He looks gentle and gentle, but he has been cold since he was a child. He has never had a real sexual//impulse towards anyone, no matter whether it is a man or a woman, no matter how good-looking the other party is. He even once thought that he was narcissistic or asexual. Thinking of falling into the hands of a 13-year-old child!

Gao Zheng, you are really a beast//beast!

Never daring to share the same bed with Ning Qing again, Gao Zheng was tossing and turning on the sofa in the living room, his body and brain were extremely exhausted, but it was difficult to fall asleep, and finally he fell into a half-dream and half-awake state.

In the dream, there was Ning Qing, who was between a child and a teenager, naked, or only wearing his own big shirt. That clean and beautiful slender body and crystal-clear eyes made him the first time in 26 years. Had a wet dream once.

After sending Ning Qing away, Gao Zheng took a long vacation, locked himself in the room and got very drunk.

He finally made the painful decision to leave.My own feelings are distorted, abnormal, and even more disgusting. If I continue to get along with the child, I will lose control before the other party grows up, ruining myself and Ning Qing.

Gao Zheng, who was so drunk that he was unconscious, had a sad sense of fate flooding his heart.Before he was completely drunk, he thought vaguely that perhaps he had been waiting for Ah Qing for so many years.

When the children grow up, if they can meet again...

Later, Gao Zheng stayed in the United States as if evading, studying psychology, and did not and did not dare to deliberately search for the whereabouts of the child.He thought that he was just infatuated with//children, and when the children grew up, his infatuation would pass, and there was no need to disturb the other's life.And in his calm heart, he seemed to be so certain of his own thoughts, that the dirty past had really passed.

He didn't expect that when they really met again, it would be like that.

Twelve years have passed, and if his child has grown into a tall and handsome man, he no longer has the obsession he had before, he thought, this is very good.

It's just that when he realizes that the person his nephew Gao Cheng said he loves deeply is the other party, his heart is inexplicably empty.

But this emotion was quickly suppressed by him forcefully. Like a real elder, he facilitated them and blessed them.Occasionally, I also feel that I am really hypocritical, but I quickly put aside these thoughts, comforting myself like Ah Q: I and Ning Qing are both cold and indifferent people, and there will be no results together, children live a happy life happiness is enough...

After many years, Gao Zheng's life is still the same, he still has no sexual//impulse towards anyone, and he has never fallen in love with anyone, but these are all subconsciously ignored by him.

Until, hearing the desperate news.

Gao Zheng, who was over forty years old, realized that he was wrong!

It turned out that he had always loved that child, Ning Qing!Regardless of whether the original relationship was because of love//children, or because of sympathy and pity, children are the only person he has fallen in love with in his life!

Gao Zheng, who stayed alone in the United States, sat on the floor and howled heartbreakingly, crying bitterly, as if he wanted to vent out all the emotions that had been suppressed for decades...

The author has something to say: Teacher Gao, I am sorry...
