Chapter 9: When It Was Needed Most

I slumped in my chair, my hands clenched into fists. I ordered myself a hot cup of coffee, and it was dry, but I still felt cold and shivering.

I walked out of the café under the surprised gaze of the waiter, the bustling street, there were few pedestrians, I walked aimlessly, not knowing where to go, what to do, and what tomorrow would mean to me.

When I was found, it was already ten o'clock in the evening, and I was lying on a chair in the park, sleeping groggily and with nightmares. I dreamed that I was sinking to the bottom of the water, entangled in endless water and weeds, and I struggled and cried, but to no avail. Just when I thought I was about to die, I saw a hand, a hand that had been warm and generous, slowly reaching out to me.

"Pei Shaobei!"

"I'm here!" Pei Shaobei's voice was still low and gentle, and a person in uniform standing next to him relaxed when he saw me waking up and calling Pei Shaobei's name, and comforted, "If there is anything you can't think about, you can't seek death, otherwise the family should be so anxious! Since you know each other, then trouble this gentleman to send her home!"

Pei Shaobei nodded in thanks.

Only then did I realize that I was lying on a deck chair in the park in a daze, and I had slept for most of the day. When the people who walked at night saw me like this, they thought it was a homeless wanderer and called the police, but the police couldn't wake me up, and they didn't dare to move without permission, so they had to adjust my mobile phone call records, and when they saw that the first one was Pei Shaobei's name, they dialed it.

I smiled at Pei Shaobei with some shame, "I'm really sorry, my phone is full of names, and I don't write the titles of my parents, otherwise I wouldn't have bothered you!"

"Do you think it's more appropriate to call your parents than me?" Pei Shaobei's voice was not in a hurry, but with a thick reproach.

Indeed, at this time, if my parents received a call from the police, they would probably have gone crazy.

"Always bothering you, I ......"

"Let's go!" Pei Shaobei got up and stood up without waiting for me to finish, my hand was still holding his, and he pulled it, and his body was unstable and he knelt directly on the ground.

My knee was on the gravel road, and it hurt.

I hurriedly let go of Pei Shaobei's hand, held on to the edge of the recliner and tried to stand up, but I tried several times, but in vain. Only then did he realize that his whole body was stiff and numb and uncontrollable.

A dark shadow flashed in front of me, and Ling Feng's broad back was facing me.

"Come up!"

"No, no!" I subconsciously resisted.

"Do you prefer me to hug it?" Pei Shaobei looked back at me, his good-looking eyebrows and eyes were slightly bent, with a faint smile.

I know that if I refuse again, Pei Shaobei will definitely be able to act according to his train of thought. I tried again to see if I could stand up, but in the end I had to give up and lay on Pei Shaobei's back.

Pei Shaobei is almost a meter and eighty, it is easy to carry me, I am embarrassed to stalk my neck, try not to let my chest stick to him, the final result of this posture is that my buttocks have become the biggest stress point, and below are Pei Shaobei's hands.

Fortunately, I saw Pei Shaobei's car when I got out of the park, otherwise I really don't know how long this embarrassing time would last.

"Is it really to seek death?" Pei Shaobei started the car and asked leisurely after a while.

"Huh?" I didn't react for a moment, and turned my head to look at him in astonishment.

"I'd rather believe that you just accidentally fell asleep!" Pei Shaobei didn't wait for me to answer, and chuckled and opened his mouth.

I was a little embarrassed!

When did I get to the park, and why did I suddenly lie there and sleep for so long? My mind was a little confused, I only remember that after meeting Lin Dong, the more I walked, the more my heart became blocked, and finally I really had the idea of seeking death, but I am sure that before I fell asleep, this thought had been dispelled by me.

It's not worth dying for such a person!

"I didn't go to death, I was just a little tired, so I fell asleep!"

Pei Shaobei glanced at me again, "It's not bad to be able to fall asleep, it's better than not being able to sleep!"

The distance between the park and the community is not too far, and it is ten midnight, the traffic is smooth, and the time for three songs is up. By the time I got to the door, my mood had completely calmed down.

I opened the door, turned to look at Pei Shaobei, who also turned around and entered the house, and said with a smile, "Last time you invited me to eat noodles, today I will invite you back, do you want to eat!"

"Now?"

"Yes, I've had a cup of coffee since noon!" I replied as a matter of course.

When Pei Shaobei entered the house, I turned on the light and saw that the wall clock on the wall was already pointing in the direction of eleven o'clock.

At eleven o'clock in the evening, a woman who had just divorced invited a single man to dinner at home? I seem to understand Pei Shaobei's slightly embarrassed expression just now.

"Actually, I'm just inviting you to a bowl of noodles!"

After I said this, I wanted to slap myself hard, isn't it obvious that there are no three hundred taels of silver here?

"Otherwise?" Pei Shaobei sat down on the sofa in the living room, his slender body leaning back lazily, and he was not at ease at all.

"It's all right! I'm going to make noodles!" I pulled the shredded hair from my ears and ran into the kitchen with a red face and a thick neck.

Thanks to Lin Dong's machismo, my craft can still be seen.

Pei Shaobei ate very happily, and with the homemade sauce beef in the refrigerator, he ate two large bowls.

"Not bad!" Pei Shaobei wiped his mouth with a tissue and looked at me with appreciation, "You don't have to pay the lawyer's fee!"

"Huh, two bowls of noodles are on top?" I opened my mouth in disbelief.

"You want to be beautiful!" Pei Shaobei looked at me with great disgust, "That money is just my pre-deposited food expenses, you don't want to deduct it casually, otherwise, you won't be able to bargain with the lawyer!"

After Pei Shaobei finished speaking, he got up and walked to the door, I paused for a moment before I reacted, and shouted unhappily, "Then I can't pay off the noodles I have been doing for a lifetime!"

Pei Shaobei paused for a moment, stood at the door and looked at me, the orange light hit his body, softening the lines, making his whole person look extremely warm!

I couldn't help but be a little stunned.

"Not bad, either!"

Pei Shaobei replied to these three words in a low voice before opening the door, and I finished cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, took a shower, and still didn't understand the meaning of these three words while lying on the bed.

What's good? My face? or?

I buried my head in the quilt, and my exposed legs kicked desperately, but the irritability and inexplicable feelings in my heart were like crazy seaweed growing in a nightmare, and I couldn't break free.

Sleepless nights.

In order to prevent me from running into Pei Shaobei again, I walked out of the house before half past six.

With two dark circles under my eyes and poor spirits, I received the warm care of Sister Yu and other colleagues, which made me a little ashamed, but I also had to face the mess brought by Liu Juan again.

Today's class was scheduled for ten o'clock, but I couldn't sit still, and from time to time I looked out the window, this feeling of fear was even more painful than Ling Chi.

It wasn't until the clock pointed to half past nine that I breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that the method I used to threaten Lin Dong worked, and with his current situation, it is impossible because I will run to the police station again. I went to the bathroom and washed my face, covered the dark circles on my face with foundation, and smiled at myself in the mirror.

I have to face my students with the best possible attitude, this is the only dignity and pride I have left, although I know that yesterday's turmoil may have spread throughout the school!

Walking up to the podium, the whispers from below disappeared instantly, which made my face burn slightly.

These were two of the hardest classes I've ever had, with no echoes, no questions, not even pauses. I was afraid that once I stopped, the embarrassment of the air condensing would make me feel at a loss from this familiar podium.

For the first time, I was so eager for the bell to come after class.

When I saw Liu Juan's face, my head exploded with a "buzz".

"You, you hurt my son so badly, I'll kill you, I'll kill you!" The slap on my head and face trampled on the last bit of my self-esteem as a teacher.

I was pressed to the ground by Liu Juan, pulling my hair and clothes.

This circular square, connecting the front and back of the two school buildings, at this moment, all the students who have just finished class are poking their heads out to look at us, and I even saw that someone with a good family is pointing at me with a mobile phone!

I subconsciously covered my face, but I didn't know how to break free from Liu Juan's nonsense.

"You let go of my teacher!" An angry shout came, and the hand that was clamping my arm was forcibly broken, and I looked up and saw Pei Zile's angry face.

"Pei Zile, it's none of your business, you go quickly!" I immediately stretched out my arm to block Pei Zile behind me, but was slapped to the ground by Liu Juan's angry slap.

"I know you kid, you're the lawyer's younger brother! Like your brother, you've been brainwashed by this slut! Gu Wan, you're really good, even your own students are going to seduce! You stinky and shameless slut! Hey, everyone come and see, you shitty school, even this kind of slutty slut, what can you educate?"

"You are not allowed to insult my teacher!" Pei Zi was about to step forward happily, but I hurriedly reached out and grabbed him.

At this time, the security guard rushed to hear the news, and when Liu Juan saw it, she immediately ran to the rockery platform in the middle of the circular square, pointed at the security guard and scolded, "If any of you dare to come, I will crash and die here! My son was almost lost his job by that woman, but she continues to do something immoral here! If your school doesn't give me an explanation today, I will never go down from here!"

Liu Juan saw that the security guard hesitated, and immediately began to cry again, and the rhetoric was not the same as yesterday!

I pushed away Pei Zile's support, returned to the office alone, and collapsed on the table! Liu Juan is willing to give up if I can't stay here, and Lin Dong doesn't care at all, I go to the police station with Liu Juan, and the family dispute will only end up being a reconciliation in the end!

I don't know what's going on outside, I don't even have the strength to move.

At this time, Sister Yu suddenly ran in from the outside in a hurry, poked her mobile phone in front of me, and I fixed my eyes to see that the video of me being abused by Liu Juan just now was actually transmitted to the campus network, and a forum for interacting with parents opened on the campus network has exploded.

The huge characters read: Resist moral degradation and return the students to a pure land!

Here's a picture of me in disheveled and embarrassed ways!
