Chapter 18: Dieshu's Past

"The squad leader comes with me to the office. The expression on Lin Lao's face was still kind.

Lingyu looked at Candle Ye, and her worried expression was covered with delicate faces. It wasn't until Candle Ye whispered a few words in her ear that the expression on her face gradually recovered.

"Then you have to be careful, who knows what he has in mind. Lingyu instructed softly.

"Well, don't worry, you go back and wait for me first, and we'll eat dinner together." Candle Ye said with a smile, turning around and walking towards Lin Lao, who was not far away.

"It's all over?" asked Lin Lao with a smile.

"That's it, old Lin, do you have anything to do?"

"Come with me to the office, it's quiet. Lin Lao looked at the crowd of people coming and going around him and said.

"Okay. ”

……

The two of them made their way through the bustling crowd of people in the academy and finally came to an office in the academy's office building. Unexpectedly, this office turned out to be independent, which shows that Lin Lao's status in the academy is not low, and he may even be a member of the high-level.

"Sit down. Lin Lao stretched out his hand and put on a "please" posture to invite Candle Ye to take a seat, and he also sat in the office seat, and the two sat face to face across a table like this, and the atmosphere was slightly serious.

"That little girl from the Tang family really ran out. Lin Lao sighed and said.

"Old Lin, ......" Candle Ye just wanted to speak, but Elder Lin waved his hand to interrupt Candle Ye's words.

"I won't report to the Tang family, don't worry. ”

"Then the juniors will thank Lin Lao. But I don't know why you came to know the name 'Spirit Rain'?" asked Candle Ye. Could it be that the Tang family's fame is so great that even the teachers of the academy have heard of it?

"Most of the teachers who serve here are originally generals who have killed countless enemies in various countries, but they are old or tired of killing, so they come to teach in this academy, and I am no exception. ”

"I was originally one of the generals of the Tianhua Empire, but I felt a little tired, so I came to this academy to teach students to see the scenery and live a comfortable life. However, in recent years, there has been a truce between the major powers, and there are not as many wars as before. ”

"After I became an imperial general, I should naturally go to visit a famous assassin family like the Tang family, although the Tang family was already going downhill at that time, but everyone agreed that the emaciated camel was bigger than the horse, and it was at that time that I saw the child in the Tang family's compound, and the eyes that were eager to rush out of the compound and longed for freedom touched me deeply. ”

"During that visit, I had a good chat with Tang Ying, the head of the Tang family, and then I got closer and closer to the Tang family. Later, when Tang Ying was drunk, he told me about the child's background and how far the Tang family had decayed...... He named the child 'Lingyu', precisely because he thought that this child was the timely rain of their Tang family, and he completely put the burden of revitalizing the Tang family on the shoulders of a little girl, but ...... How could a little girl bear the burden of a family? Coupled with the look in the girl's eyes at the time, I had long since concluded that the child would definitely escape, and it was only a matter of time. ”

"I see. Candle Ye said.

"Lingyu, this kid is very talented, she shouldn't be used as a prop to revitalize the family, she can escape, I'm actually happy for her. Lin Lao added again.

"Then I will thank Elder Lin for Lingyu's understanding. Candle Ye said solemnly.

"Hehe, I see that you seemed a little upset when you first saw my reaction in the classroom, you should be afraid that I would catch Lingyu and go back to the Tang family, why did you suddenly dare to come to the office with me generously?" Lin Lao asked with a smile.

"I was indeed a little scared, but the classmate who asked why Lingyu was the cadre on duty reminded me that if you really want to arrest her, why do you want me to be the class leader? ”

"Haha, I don't think you're stupid in the first place, the reason why you didn't think about it right away should be because it was Lingyu's business, so you panicked. ”

"No, no, no, Lin Laogao looks down on me, I was born stupid. Candle Ye waved his hand and belittled himself.

"Hahaha, I've never seen a dual-attribute person who is inherently dull. Lin Lao laughed loudly, seemingly amused by Candle Ye's self-deprecation.

"Uh...... You see that?"

"I'm guessing your other attribute is a spiritual attribute, right? And you should know that...... Dieshu's strength. ”

"Yes, Median Emissary. But the strange thing is that all the median spirit envoys should be everyone's focus without exception, why is she the only one who hasn't heard of it?"

"Alas~" Lin Lao sighed, "Because of her, she didn't sign up at all." ”

"What?!......

No, the best academy in the continent also accepts red envelopes, and it's not right, what kind of backdoor does the strength of the median spirit envoy have to go through?

"She's a repeater. ”

"Repeating a grade?"

"yes, repeat. Lin Lao couldn't help but sigh again, and continued: "Her full name is Cheng Dieshu, her father died early, and she was raised by her mother alone. In order to give her a good future, her mother worked hard to give her all kinds of jobs and borrowed money everywhere to make up the tuition for her to come to this college. Unexpectedly, her mother fell ill after she entered school, so she had to build her own log cabin on the hillside near the college, move her mother to the cabin, and then take care of her every day after school. ”

Lin Lao shook his head, and then said: "Dieshu's talent can only be regarded as average, and she has to be distracted to take care of her mother, although she has worked very hard, but she is still in the last final exam...... Lost. ”

After listening to Lin Lao's story about Dieshu's experience, although Candle Ye had pity in his heart, he was more surprised and distressed: who would have thought that under that energetic smile, there would be such a difficult experience......

"Then we can help her, for example, the whole class can donate so that her mother can live in the clinic, or we can ask someone to take care of her mother...... There should be many ways, right?" Candle Ye hurriedly asked.

"Alas...... What you said, her homeroom teacher in the last session thought of it, who knew that this girl was as stubborn as a donkey, and she actually refused everyone's donation in front of the class. Speaking of which, for the first time, Candle Ye saw a little anger on Lin Lao's face, mixed with a little helplessness.

It seems that Lin Lao is also worried about this student.

"No...... However, with her current strength, it shouldn't be difficult to pass the final exam of the first grade, after all, she is already higher than others. Candle Ye spoke out to comfort Lin Lao.

"If she can pass it, she will still be labeled as a 'repeater' and ridiculed......" Lin Lao said in distress with his head in his hands.

"It's okay, right? Anyway, only you, me, and her know about it, as long as we don't say it, it won't be exposed. ”

"Alas...... You're underestimating the speed at which news spreads from the Academy......"

"Okay, that's all I have to say, you can go back first. Lin Lao sighed again and shook his hand, it seemed that he was almost powerless in this matter.

“…… It's ......" Candle Ye softly closed the door and left Lin Lao's office.

……

Standing at the door of the dormitory, Candle Ye patted his face vigorously so that he could walk out of Dieshu's story, and then put on a smiling face and pushed the door in.

But the face behind the door was sullen.

"Lingyu, what's wrong? Why do you have an unhappy expression?" Candle Ye asked with concern as she leaned in front of Lingyu.

"Candle Ye, do you remember that girl named Dieshu, do you know how pitiful she is?" said Lingyu with big watery eyes.

"You...... Where did you hear that?" Candle Ye's eyes widened, his eyes full of surprise.

"After you left with the teacher, I had a few conversations with some of the girls in the class, and one of them said she heard about it from her sister in the second grade. What about you, did the teacher tell you?"

"Yes, we just talked about it, but I really didn't expect the news of the academy to spread so quickly, I think the students in the class will know about it tomorrow. Candle Ye spread his hands helplessly and sighed.

"Isn't there any way to help her?" Lingyu asked aloud.

"Yes, and there are many, the key is that she doesn't accept it herself, so who can help her?" Candle Ye looked up at the sunset in the west, his eyes were foggy, and he sighed again.

For the first time, neither of them spoke at dinner time, they just ate quietly, and there was a trace of loss in their eyes. The two of them are kind-hearted people, and when they hear such news, they can't do anything about it, how can they have much appetite?

……

The next day, Candle Ye and Lingyu came to the classroom, both of them with faint dark circles on their faces, which showed that they did not sleep peacefully last night.

As soon as she entered the classroom, Candle Ye first looked at Dieshu's seat, but it was empty, and she hadn't arrived yet. However, in the noisy classroom, you can still faintly hear people talking about her.

"Yo, squad leader, morning. ”

An arm behind him struck and put it on Candle Ye's shoulder, making Candle Ye a little heavy. Candle Ye turned his face, and beside him was a male classmate in his class, although he was also a child, his figure was much stronger than his peers.

"Yo, morning, Dawu. "Hu Dawu Candle Ye is one of the few names in this class that he remembers, and there is no special reason, just because this name is so compatible with himself, as if he deliberately grew like this in order to match this name.

"Hey Tianhao, did you hear me? The squad leader remembers my name, hahaha...... Oh, and the squad leader's wife is also early. Hu Dawu hurriedly showed off to his partner who came in with him, and did not forget to use the title of "squad leader's wife" to say hello to Lingyu stupidly. Lingyu's delicate little face turned red again.

Although it looks stupid, and he is familiar with himself, he is quite good at speaking, and the assist is good, buddy will definitely support you in the future, Zhu Ye silently saluted Hu Dawu in his heart.

"It's not because your name is as 'direct' as yours that people are so easy to remember. Coming to the classroom with Hu Dawu, Luo Tianhao complained. I have to say that he really said what was in Candle Ye's heart.

"The squad leader is early, and the squad leader's wife is early. Luo Tianhao also learned from Hu Dawu to greet him with "Mrs. Squad Leader".

There were also a few classmates who hurriedly surrounded Candle Ye after the two arrived, some just said hello, and some had flattering smiles on their faces, trying to find ways to have a good relationship with Candle Ye. If some parents in the world see it, they will be amazed: Is this really a child? Why are some sycophants more skilled than officials?

After dealing with the enthusiastic classmates, Candle Ye and Lingyu returned to their seats and sat down, as soon as they sat down, Candle Ye felt a strong "resentment", and glanced forward, sure enough, it emanated from Patricia, who lost to Candle Ye yesterday. At this time, she was staring at Candle Ye with cannibalistic eyes, but as soon as she saw Candle Ye looking at her, Patricia turned her face away angrily, obviously quite dissatisfied with Candle Ye.

The classroom door was pushed open, and Dieshu finally hurried in before the bell rang.

As soon as she walked in the door, the class immediately exploded, and the classmates chatted and discussed with each other, but the bottom of the conversation revolved around the matter of repeating students.

However, Dieshu still didn't seem to hear it, and jumped up and down to the classmates who had a good chat with her yesterday, still with the same cheerful smile on her face as yesterday.

But the group of classmates still talked to themselves as if she didn't exist.

She faced the group with the same smile she had had done yesterday, but they didn't.
