067 Back to the abyss
Professor Yao?"
Bald, humorous, and speaking in a dialect, Professor Yao will really make a deep impression.
Zhao Anyue still remembers that he was Professor Yao who had taken an elective class a few months ago and helped Qi Siwen replace him once.
"Why are you here?"
"Uh-huh. "Zhao Anyue has a frank temperament, and she really doesn't know how to lie.
She glanced at the receipt in her hand, and said with a red face: "Because I am pregnant with a baby, I came to handle the suspension of school." β
"Yo, that's a big congratulations. β
Because Zhao Anyue has always been thinner, the pregnant belly in the small month is also more obvious.
However, at this moment, the clerk teacher shouted: "Zhao Anyue, make two copies of the marriage certificate and ID card." β
"Oh!"
Zhao Anyue turned around and took the original, ready to walk to the photocopier in the corner.
"I'll print it for you," Professor Yao enthusiastically stretched out his hand, "and it just so happens that I'm going to print the document too." You stand farther away, photocopiers generally have radiation. β
Zhao Anyue hurriedly thanked her and handed over her documents.
When he saw Professor Yao open the marriage certificate and prepare to spread it on the light screen, his expression paused slightly.
She was still blushing and thought that the photo on Shen Xingye's marriage certificate photo was too stiff and indifferent.
Later, I thought about it for a moment-
No, Professor Yao knows Bai Luoya.
Since you know Bai Luoya, how can you not know Shen Xingye?
"Professor Yao, you ......"
Zhao Anyue felt that instead of letting people guess in their hearts, it was better to take the initiative not to avoid this topic.
So she settled down and asked, "Do you know my husband?"
Professor Yao looked at Zhao Anyue and returned the hot copies and originals to Zhao Anyue. Then the teacher at the office counter said that he had to hand it over upstairs to knock on the stamp, and it might take the afternoon to give Zhao Anyue the confirmed certificate of suspension.
"Do you have to wait until the afternoon?" Zhao Anyue was a little regretful, she thought that she would be able to get everything done with a trip today. Only by returning to the community with the certificate of suspension can it be convenient to go through other procedures such as birth permits.
"Yes, it's almost noon, and the leader upstairs is not there. The teacher in the office was still cold-hearted.
"Then I, can I wait here a little longer?"
"Whatever, or you go out for dinner. β
At this moment, Professor Yao, who was behind Zhao Anyue, took the initiative to say, "Student Zhao, go and sit in my office for a while." β
Zhao Anyue sighed involuntarily, but soon, she found a reason for herself that she couldn't refuse at all.
Professor Yao's invitation must have something to say to her face to face.
Professor Yao's office is clean, bright, and unpretentious.
Zhao Anyue didn't know why she thought of Qi Siwen all of a sudden, thought of the huge bookshelves displayed in his apartment, and thought of him opening the house full of ink incense.
"Drink something?"
"Oh, thank you, just white water. β
When Professor Yao went to pour water on the table, Zhao Anyue glanced at the bookshelf against the wall.
The row on the right of the third grid couldn't help but attract her very exaggerated attentionβ
There are about twenty or thirty books, in different bindings, in different disciplines, and even in different publishing houses.
But there is one thing in common, it is all translated by Wen Fan.
Zhao Anyue's heart moved slightly. Wen Fan's name, she remembered it thoroughly at the cost of the scar on her forehead.
Ling Jue said that he is a professor at University A, an expert in languages, and has translated dozens of foreign books in his lifetime.
It should not be surprising that Professor Yao has his translation here.
"What's the matter? Your husband told you about Professor Wen?"
Professor Yao came over with water and found Zhao Anyue staring at the row of books.
"Oh, it's not ......" Zhao Anyue bit her lower lip, took the glass of water and said thank you, "I just heard his friends talk about some things in the past, not very pleasant." β
Zhao Anyue still didn't know what Professor Yao's position was, so she tried to be very tactful.
"Friend?" Professor Yao lifted his reflective glasses and sighed at the corner of his lips, "Isn't that the lawyer surnamed Ling next to him?"
Unexpectedly, people would stick their tactfulness to the wall in half a sentence, and Zhao Anyue's face turned even redder.
But now that the words have been said and said, it will be difficult for anyone to get down the steps.
"Professor Yao, do you mean that the matter between Professor Wen and Bai Luoya is actually ......?"
Professor Yao sighed, took off his reading glasses and carefully wiped them with a piece of flannel.
"It's been so many years, and the people are gone, so what's not true?"
"So Professor Yao, are you telling me in disguise that there is really something hidden in what happened back then?"
Zhao Anyue set her eyes on Professor Yao's desk. There is a group photo of the faculty and staff of a very old age.
She easily found Professor Yao on the right and left of the first row, and he must have been thirty years old at that time. It looks quite similar to what it looks like now, but it's noticeably thinner. And the reason why Zhao Anyue can see it at a glance is mainly because some people have hair loss, which seems to have nothing to do with age.
Or do they all say that a thirty-year-old man is like a dandelion - you think it means the yearning for wandering and freedom, more than half of the journey in the world? No, that's because when the wind blows, he becomes bald.
After finding Professor Yao in the photo, Zhao Anyue set her eyes on the man next to him.
He was also in his early thirties, and was mild-mannered, with good facial features and a modest demeanor.
It's the kind of existence that sits there quietly and doesn't move, and it will be robbed of a bit of attraction by people with the temperament of a beautiful man.
But for some reason, Zhao Anyue felt that there was something about this person that made her feel familiar.
The face must have never been seen before, if there are other details - the shirt, the tie, the watch......
However, most of the intellectuals of that era were such a standard, and they couldn't see why.
"That's Professor Wen. β
Professor Yao glanced at Zhao Anyue, and she was suddenly so frightened that she couldn't help but shudder.
If at this moment, Zhao Anyue couldn't see that Professor Yao was Wen Fan's good friend, then she would be stupid enough.
So in this way, the tacit identity makes the continued topic between the two even more embarrassing.
Professor Yao glanced at Zhao Anyue and sighed heavily: "Student Zhao, since you are in a hurry to talk about it today, you have left the matter here. I'll be honest with you. Your husband Shen Xingye, I don't know. only knew that at that time, he was Bai Luoya's boyfriend. If something happens to my beloved girlfriend, as long as it's a man, I can't bear it, so there's nothing incomprehensible. But anger is anger, and facts will be facts. Anyway, let's put it this way, it's not because I've been a colleague with Lao Wen for more than ten years that I favor him. But even if any man in this world can do such a thing, I don't believe that Lao Wen can do it. β
Speaking of this in one breath, Professor Yao picked up his old water cup and moistened his throat: "Classmate Zhao, I can see that you are different from Bai Luoya. I don't know what fate you young people are doing. How did you know Shen Xingye and be with him, because it doesn't matter anymore. But I beg you, if you have the opportunity, please advise Shen Xingye - when you have eyes, you may not be able to see the truth, then you can close your eyes for a while and think about it. β
Zhao Anyue heard these words, and her heart was mixed.
But she knew better than anyone else that it was impossible for her to convey Professor Yao's insistence to Shen Xingye.
It was not easy for me to get to this point with him, and those difficult trusts were simply in danger.
Does she want to simply and rudely point to Shen Xingye's heart and tell him that your white moonlight may not be as simple and pure as you think?
The dead are great, and no matter what the past has or what is hidden, the dust has already settled......
But Zhao Anyue finally nodded and said, "Professor Yao, I remember, but I still have something to ask you...... Well, what about Professor Wen's family after his accident?"
Zhao Anyue felt that if a person was really wronged and caused suicide. So the first thing that will not be spared is his family, he has heard so many things about Wen Fan intermittently, regardless of whether Yao Liguo's position is contrary to Shen Xingye Lingjue's position, there is only one thing that makes Zhao Anyue particularly strange - no one has mentioned Wen Fan's family.
"He should be about your age, Professor Yao, doesn't he have a wife and children?"
"He ......" Yao Liguo's expression on his face was slightly strange, and finally shook his head, "He has never been married in his life, and he has no children. He only had an adopted son, and he went abroad to study when he was about ten years old. It seems to be a relative or a friend with him...... Anyway, I don't know much about City A, Lao Wen will go out every winter and summer vacation. After Lao Wen's accident, he didn't see the kid show up. Speaking of which, I haven't seen each other in more than ten years. β
Seeing that the time was almost up, Zhao Anyue left Professor Yao's office and went to the administrative office to get the list.
After Zhao Anyue left, Yao Liguo sat on the office chair with wolfberry tea for a while. I heard footsteps outside the door and stopped, and there were three knocks on the door.
He called out in a calm voice.
The door creaked open, looking at the man in front of him in a straight suit and his eyes were shining, Yao Liguo was stunned for a moment, then squinted his eyes, and said, "Are you still here?" I know that you can't just give up on Lao Wen's matter. β
"You told Zhao Anyue, everything?"
The man stood for a long time, and a strong sense of oppression paved down.
"I didn't say it, I just knew that she was Shen Xingye's current wife. Yao Liguo turned his back and slowly walked back to his desk. He stared at the group photo on the table, and said slowly: "That day, when I was substitute teaching, Zhao Anyue unintentionally mentioned that Bai Luoya had an accident, and I guessed that you did it." I'm just an outsider, and I know so much about some things that I'm really bothered. Mr. Shen, did you come to me just to tell me not to talk nonsense to the outside world?"
"It's not enough to die a Bai Luoya. Since you already know that it was me who did it, you still have to remind her cleverly, what do you mean?"
Shen Qiufang walked up to Yao Liguo and stopped at the yellowed group photo.
