Chapter 37: The Past Is Like Smoke (Part II)
"Yan'er, is this your boyfriend?",
On the way back, Yu Yan's mother asked.
"No, it's not, Mom. β
Wang Yuyan said.
"Hello, Auntie! My name is Chen Fu, and I am now interning with Yu Yan in No. 2 Middle School. β
"I'm sorry for your trouble, Mr. Chen. Will you also become a teacher in No. 2 Middle School in the future?"
"No trouble, Auntie. You're welcome. I ......."
"Mom, I forgot to tell you. Chen Fu was admitted to graduate school, and he went to study after his internship. β
When Wang Yuyan said this, Chen Fu could hear that her mood had improved a lot.
"Oh, I'm going to graduate school. That's pretty good, too. It's a pity that Yan'er, she could have gone to graduate school. I'm dragging her down. β
Wang Yuyan's mother said, wiping the corners of her eyes with her hand.
"Mom, it's okay. In the future, when I want to go to graduate school, I can apply for the exam again. I've been with you for the past two years. β
Wang Yuyan took her mother's arm and leaned her face on her shoulder.
Yu Yan's mother looked at her and sighed.
"By the way, classmate Chen, which school in the island city are you studying for graduate school?"
"Auntie, you can just call me Xiao Chen. I went to the School of Foreign Chinese Language of the Provincial Normal University. β
"Where to go?"
"Mom, Chen Fu is going to the provincial city Normal University. β
Wang Yuyan suddenly whispered.
Her mother didn't make a sound.
Chen Fu seemed to realize the problem.
However, there is no escaping this.
"Master, you park in front. β
Yu Yan's mother said.
"What's the matter, Mom, it's still some distance from the hospital. β
"Let's go to the hospital. Let's let Chen go back. β
"No need Auntie, I'm fine today. I can accompany you to the hospital. Besides, when I went to No. 2 Middle School, I happened to pass by the hospital. β
"No need. Let's go down. I won't waste your time. β
Her mother was about to push the left door as she spoke. This frightened the driver and quickly pulled over. The car on the left is running, and the probability of being hit is too great.
Wang Yuyan couldn't, so she had to push the car door and come down.
Chen Fu also came down.
"Are you still leaving? No, settle the bill. β
The driver was impatient.
"Master, wait a minute. Right away. β
"Auntie, you and Yu Yan will go to the hospital first, and then I'll take a taxi. β
The matter has come to this point, and Chen Fu can only do this.
"No need. You go first. Yan'er and I will wait. β
Chen Fu glanced at Yu Yan.
She nodded.
Chen Fu had no choice but to say goodbye and sit back in the car.
"Is that woman sick?"
After the driver started the car, he suddenly said.
"Master, don't say that. She's not easy either. β
"I'm nosy. Go straight to No. 2 Middle School?"
"Yes, No. 2. β
When I returned to No. 2 Middle School, Mr. Tong was also there.
He asked about Yu Yan's mother's situation and sighed that this child is really not easy.
He hoped that Yu Yan would return to school as soon as possible. Although the entire teaching and research group is more optimistic about her staying, this period is still a critical period of inspection.
So many people are staring at this piece of fragrant bread. Teacher Tong also tactfully told Chen Fu that there are still people who are doing work through the leaders of the Education Bureau.
To this extent, Chen Fu is still grateful to Teacher Tong for his trust.
Of course, he also hopes that Wang Yuyan, a good seedling who is a teacher, can stay smoothly and become a famous English teacher in No. 2 Middle School in the future, and maybe he can share part of his duties.
On this day, Wang Yuyan did not come back.
The next day, Teacher Tong told Chen Fu that Wang Yuyan called again to ask for three days off.
Although it is excusable to take care of patients, Mr. Tong is still a little displeased.
Chen Fu knew that Teacher Tong was drinking. I went to the tobacco and alcohol store outside the school, gritted my teeth, and spent more than 700 yuan to buy two bottles of 52-degree Wuliangye. After the evening self-study, I brought it to his office and said that Wang Yuyan asked me to buy it, thank Teacher Tong for taking care of it, and I have to ask Teacher Tong for more help in the future.
Teacher Tong said that he should take care of it, after all, he admires Wang Yuyan, and he can try his best to fight for Wang Yuyan in the future, but he is just a director in this school, he looks very glamorous, but his actual power is not much, and he can't even have the voice to speak for many things, let alone the right to decide. In a word, people are soft-spoken, and Wang Yuyan has to be asked to return as soon as possible. The internship period is coming to an end, and those like her who plan to stay are more strictly assessed.
Chen Fu understood that Teacher Tong couldn't help himself.
It's just that in this situation, family affection is the most important.
Choose between work and mother, Wang Yuyan will definitely choose the latter.
Parents still have a place to come from in life, and parents have only a way to return in life.
Now the mother and daughter depend on each other. Chen Fu can only hope that her mother can come out of the shadows as soon as possible, and Wang Yuyan can come back again.
It's just that three days later, Wang Yuyan still didn't come, and she didn't call the school.
There is one day left for the final assessment. Teacher Tong was very anxious. When I called Wang Yuyan's home, no one answered, and I called the Chinese College of Foreign Normal University in the provincial capital, but the college didn't know it, and I thought that Wang Yuyan was still interning at Daocheng No. 2 Middle School.
With this statement, Teacher Tong knew that the big thing was not good, so he asked the leaders of the School of Foreign Chinese Language of the Provincial Normal University to contact Wang Yuyan's father.
Although Wang Yuyan's parents are divorced, with Wang Yuyan's bond, they can't completely break off the connection.
Her father, Director Wang, inquired in many ways, and only learned from Wang Yuyan's uncle that Wang Yuyan's mother still did not get out of depression and chose to commit suicide by jumping into the sea.
Wang Yuyan followed her uncle and aunt during this time, and just finished the funeral.
Her whole mental state was also not good, and she couldn't sleep for many days.
When Teacher Tong told Chen Fu this, Chen Fu himself felt heartache. Why is it that the person who was sitting in the same car not long ago is suddenly gone?
He was also worried about Wang Yuyan.
At this age, where can you bear it?
On the day of the assessment, Wang Yuyan still did not come.
Teacher Tong and the entire foreign language department felt sorry for her. However, the position could not be reserved for her.
The dust has settled on the internship. Chen Fu felt that it was impossible to see Wang Yuyan again, so he decided to return to Haibin Normal University with the internship report that day.
No. 2 Middle School arranged a dinner, and Mr. Tong repeatedly asked him to attend.
He originally brought Wang Yuyan and Chen Fu, two proud protΓ©gΓ©s, but neither of them could stay, and he was not happy in his heart.
Chen Fu also participated.
I couldn't see Wang Yuyan, so he and Teacher Tong drank one cup after another.
Until he got drunk and was sent back.
The rain is still falling.
Chen Fu felt bored and empty.
He couldn't read a book or sleep, so he could only watch the rain outside the window.
Da-da-da.
At first, he thought it was the sound of rain hitting the door.
Click, click, again.
There was a knock on the door.
He also thought that Teacher Tong came to see him off.
When I opened the door, it turned out to be Wang Yuyan.
She was soaking wet, and the rain was running down her hair and clothes.
Chen Fu hugged her and patted her on the back.
She seemed completely numb.
After a long time, he suppressed his crying softly, and then he cried profusely.
"Chen Fu, my mother is gone. β
Her voice was hoarse, and the word seemed like a little breath coming out of her throat. If you weren't so close, you wouldn't be able to hear it.
"Yu Yan. It's all gone. You have to live. β
He hugged a little tighter.
Wang Yuyan's hand was slowly raised, put on his waist, her face rested on his chest, and she cried again.
After a while, she shivered.
Although it was the height of summer, she was watered by heavy rain, and she didn't eat well and sleep well, and her energy had already been exhausted.
I didn't feel the cold air in the rain, but now it's cold.
"Yu Yan, let's change your clothes. You're going to get sick like that. β
She shook her head.
Chen Fu touched her forehead, it was okay.
After a few more minutes, she stopped crying.
Maybe it's been so many days that the tears have finally dried up.
"Chen Fu, I want to sleep for a while. β
"Okay. I'm there for you. β
Chen Fu helped him to the bedside.
People who grieve excessively, everything is numb.
She has no gender in her heart.
Untie your wet clothes.
Chen Fu twisted his face away. This is the first time that a girl has a wide dress in front of him.
"Accompany... Lie down with me for a while. I'm scared alone. β
She was pale and her lips were purple.
Chen Fu nodded.
Her pile of laundry was still dripping from her desk.
Chen Fu's face was hot when he saw the bras and underwear of adult girls.
She wrapped herself in the thin quilt and lay on her side.
Still shivering.
It was a June day, and it rained, but it was still so cold.
Chen Fu's predecessor was also soaked by the rain on Wang Yuyan's clothes. However, he did not dare to take it off. Fortunately, his back was not wet, and he was able to lie flat on the bed, leaning against the edge of the bed from the waist down, with one foot on the ground.
"Take it off, hold me for a while. β
Chen Fu hesitated for a moment and took off his upper body and trousers.
Wang Yuyan loosened the quilt. Chen Fu pulled over a corner and covered himself.
His breathing became heavier at once, and his throat was dry, but he didn't dare to move.
Wang Yuyan turned around, pressed her face to his chest, and spread the quilt out to cover him.
Chen Fu felt a hot and moist liquid slip down his chest and towards his abdomen.
It was Yu Yan's tears.
Chen Fu didn't know what to say.
He couldn't find the words to comfort him, so he lay there mechanically, occasionally patting her with his right hand across the covers.
"Sleep, Yu Yan. Sleep will be, it will be better. β
Yu Yan nodded with a grimace.
Chen Fu patted her, feeling that she was a heartbroken child who needed comfort.
"Chen Fu, I can't sleep. As soon as I closed my eyes, I saw my mother in the sea. β
"Yu Yan, it will pass. β
"I don't want to think about it. As soon as you close your eyes, it is. β
"The closest person is gone, it's all like this. Gotta be alive. Mom still wants you to be better. β
Yu Yan didn't speak.
Chen Fu felt her hot tears surging wildly, and her whole body trembled in the bed.
"Yu Yan, cry out. β
Chen Fu touched her short wet hair.
Whining.
She cried again.
"Mom......"
