Chapter 18: The Scarred Big Boy
Thinking that he actually said such ambiguous words to his students in such a gentle and ambiguous tone, plus his buttocks unintentionally had such an intimate contact with his face, He Xiaoyu really wanted to die, and even more wanted Li Zedao to die.
And I'm even more worried in my heart, will Li Zedao think more about it when he comes out like this? Will he think stupidly that she, a teacher, is really a little interesting to him?
The most crucial point is, will Li Zonghan retaliate? Maybe he, Li Zonghan, can't help himself, but after all, Li Zedao is just an extremely ordinary student, and it should be very easy for Li Zonghan to take revenge on such a student, right? Just find two hooligans at the school gate and ambush them is enough for Li Zedao to drink a pot.
Thinking that Li Zedao was likely to be retaliated against because of his momentary hot head, He Xiaoyu's heart was full of apologies.
"I was really touched by my kindness. He Xiaoyu muttered, then suddenly stopped and turned around. There are some things that she must explain clearly to Li Zedao as soon as possible, otherwise it may make the misunderstanding deeper and deeper, and it will not be beneficial to anyone at that time.
Li Zedao also stopped, and continued to maintain a distance of more than three or four steps from He Xiaoyu, he knew that the taste on his body was not very good, and he didn't want to bring some unnecessary trouble to He Xiaoyu.
And he also knew that He Xiaoyu would definitely explain some things to him, although he had already understood those things.
He Xiaoyu's eyes fell on Li Zedao, his heart twitched slightly, and his brows furrowed even more.
At this time, with the help of the not too dim street lamp on the side, He Xiaoyu clearly saw that Li Zedao's face and body had some blood marks and bruises, the blood was solidified, and his clothes had many footprints, and they were obviously torn, not at all as he said, something was scratched by a branch.
"You...... What's going on??" He Xiaoyu asked, but there was a hint of concern in his tone.
"It's not a fight, it's just ...... Siege beaten. Li Zedao said with a faint smile, as if he was talking about a sparse and ordinary thing.
"Fighting?" He Xiaoyu's eyes widened, and he suddenly understood, "The two hooligans I met at noon brought people to your house to beat you, so you ran to the beach?"
She just said, how could a person like Li Zedao, who knew at first glance that he was very old-fashioned and had no mood, come to this beach to blow the wind at night, and this beach was not too close to the ghost place where he lived.
Li Zedao nodded and said, "It's them, they burned all the things in my house, and waited for me in that room." ”
"Ah......" He Xiaoyu exclaimed in surprise, with a stunned expression.
"I was lucky enough to escape without any injuries. Li Zedao said, then shrugged his shoulders and smiled freely, revealing a row of neat white teeth that did not match the complexion of his skin at all.
It's a smile that's so clean that people are jealous, you can't see any sadness in his eyes, as if all the things in the house were burned didn't happen to him, as if the person who was beaten was not him, of course, you can also say that he has no heart and lungs, and you can also say that he has calmly faced all kinds of tribulations in life.
But no matter what, after He Xiaoyu looked at the clean smile on this dirty smile, his decisive heart was pinched hard.
"Then you're not ...... Homeless?" He Xiaoyu asked, inexplicably feeling a little sorry for this student.
Originally, He Xiaoyu was a very kind person, and he usually felt pity when he saw those stray cats and dogs, let alone a living person?
And this individual is still her student, and the reason why this student has this kind of experience is because he helped her drive away the hooligans and was retaliated.
He Xiaoyu was thinking about how to help him so as not to hurt the other party's self-esteem.
Li Zedao didn't answer, but opened his broken bag, then took out five hundred yuan from the wad of banknotes inside, and then handed it to He Xiaorou and said, "Teacher He, give it." ”
“......”
"The money for two hospital stays. Li Zedao said with a slight smile.
"Get out!" He Xiaoyu almost slapped Li Zedao to death, he was already homeless, this guy still wanted to pay her back, did he need to be so outside?
I don't know why, Li Zedao saw her so much, she was angry. At that moment, he glared at Li Zedao fiercely, and simply turned around and left.
"Teacher He......"
"Don't call me!" He Xiaoyu said without looking back, suddenly turned around after walking a few steps, and then walked back quickly in Li Zedao's somewhat stunned gaze, and then took the five hundred-yuan bills from Li Zedao's hand, stuffed them into his bag casually, and then said angrily, "Li Zedao, is this okay?"
"This money originally belonged to Mr. He. Li Zedao nodded and said.
The corners of He Xiaoyu's mouth twitched, and he almost ran away again, smashing this guy with his high heels.
"Then what are you going to do?" He Xiaoyu asked after a while, "Go find your father...... By the way, what the hell did your father do?"
Li Zedao didn't answer, but raised his head slightly, looking at the little stars in the sky, but the sadness in the depths of his eyes flashed.
He Xiaoyu saw him like this, but her heart suddenly chuckled, she suddenly thought that when Li Zedao was drowned and sent to the hospital, she had called his father countless times, but she couldn't get in touch......
Thinking of He Xiaoyu's heart getting tighter and tighter, she remembered that when she was at the door of Li Zedao's house, she heard the extremely sad and painful sound coming from the house, and when she knocked on the door, Li Zedao suddenly opened the door and called her "Dad" with a look of ecstasy, but when she saw that it was her, her ecstatic face was instantly numb.
She remembered the contents of the seawater-soaked paper she had overheard when she was in the hospital, could it be ......
"Your father ......," He Xiaoyu asked after hesitating.
"He's gone, he's a star. Li Zedao said in a very calm tone, his gaze fell on the brightest star in the sky.
He Xiaoyu was already completely stunned, what he meant...... His father died?
"A few weeks ago, my father was diagnosed with uremia and luckily my kidney matched him. Li Zedao looked at the star and said softly, "But even so, the cost of the operation is also sky-high for a family like ours." I didn't go to class yesterday, and I chose to go to the overpass and kneel to ask for help just to see if there were any good Samaritans to help, but I didn't expect to be deceived in the end, and finally I was thrown into the sea and almost drowned. ”
He Xiaoyu looked at Li Zedao's dirty side face in a daze, she was so shocked by what Li Zedao said that she almost forgot to breathe, that is to say, when she was in the hospital, she misunderstood him.
Li Zedao's tone was still calm: "But when I left the hospital and returned home, my father was gone, he shed some money and a note, he told me that he was useless, he was sorry for me, he couldn't give me a better environment, he was already ashamed of me, how could I cut off a kidney, and at the same time have to bear the huge pressure of raising money to save him? So he said he left, he found a place where no one could find and ended his life......"
He Xiaoyu subconsciously covered her mouth with her hands, tears had already flowed down, she completely understood, why Li Zedao cried so sadly and helplessly at noon yesterday, and also understood why Li Zedao was so excited to open the door and call her "Dad", and finally fainted with a fever.
I also understood why Li Zedao seemed to be a different person in a blink of an eye, and also understood why Li Zedao was in a daze when he was in class in the afternoon.
Of course, He Xiaoyu misunderstood Li Zedao about being in a daze, but she didn't know.
At that moment, her hand moved forward gently, she wanted to take this scarred big boy into her arms and comfort him, she wanted to tell him, even if your father is gone, what teacher do you have...... But she gave up after all, she was afraid that Li Zedao would think too much and misunderstand, so that this simple teacher-student relationship would eventually deteriorate.
She has studied psychology, and she knows that a little virgin at this age (He Xiaoyu firmly believes that he must be a little virgin, after all, he is not handsome, he is not outstanding in his studies, and he has no shining points, and his family is not very good, how can there be a girl who likes him and dedicates himself? As for going to find chickens...... Is he rich?) is very restless and prone to overthinking.
This is also the reason why she stopped to explain what happened at the beach, but what she didn't expect was that she hadn't explained it yet, but she knew such a thing that caught her a little off guard.
"I had just fallen asleep on the beach, and I had a dream in which my father sat down next to me, and as usual, he slapped me on the head with his big hand, and said to me, 'Son, everyone has the right to choose their own life, and what I choose may not be the best for you, but it is the best for me, so you don't need to forget all the good things in this world because of my ......."
He Xiaoyu fully believed that such philosophical words must have been said by his father when he gave him a dream, and she had the impression that Li Zedao, who had some poor Chinese scores, would never be able to say such things.
Before my father could say the rest of the sentence, I felt something soft and smelly smash on my face. Li Zedao said with some regret, "So I woke up." ”
