On December 18, after having lunch in the provincial capital, Xie Wanqing sent a company car to send Zhang Ke and Xu Si back to Haizhou.

Xu Si's mood returned to normal, but the weather was hazy on this day, the clouds like fish scales were very low, and the car was on the air conditioner, but listening to the wind outside the car window, he still felt a trace of cold in his heart.

In the car, Xu Si looked up at the clouds in the sky through the car window, and said thoughtfully: "It may snow." ”

Zhang Ke smiled, he had learned the article "Looking at the Clouds and Knowing the Weather" in junior high school, but he was not good at this at all, the cloud layer was so low, and he only thought it was going to rain, the house in Fuguiyuan had that old-fashioned box air conditioner, but the home in the organ compound was simpler, but my mother would have the quilt loose in advance, but I didn't have to worry about it being too cold, and said: "It's not bad to snow, I haven't seen snow for several years." ”

"Nonsense, there were two heavy snowfalls after the Spring Festival today, and you weren't in Haizhou at that time?"

Zhang Ke smiled, there was no promise of words. In a few years, perhaps due to the impact of the global warming effect, or perhaps due to the cyclical changes in the weather, Haizhou's winter is getting warmer and warmer, and there is rarely sub-zero weather. Even if it snows, it only falls sporadically, not on a small scale, and maybe it can't be called any snow at all, so it means that I haven't seen snow in Haizhou for several years.

When the car exited the highway intersection, the hazy sky was falling with heavy snow. It was not yet five o'clock, and because the clouds were thick, the sky had completely darkened, and the street lights were lit up in time. The snowflakes were large and dark outside the car window, as if black elves were fluttering.

Xu Si's eyes were almost on the car window, staring at the heavy snow outside the car window; Zhang Ke looked at the same side, but stared at Xu Si's reflection on the car window glass, his flawless face and clear eyes, and he had an inexplicable desire and yearning for the snowflakes outside the car window.

"Sending you home first?" Zhang Ke asked Xu Si.

"Well," Xu Si nodded, she was really tired these days, but Zhang Ke's thoughtfulness and concern comforted her, "Do you still want to go to the company?" ”

"If you don't go, what's there to go?" Zhang Ke held his head in his hands, leaned on the seat, and sat very comfortably.

"The new paper mill has been officially put into operation, and the project book of the food court should be completed, so don't you rush to see it?"

"Where can I be useful if there are professionals?" Zhang Ke said with a smile, "Besides, as soon as I go back to Haizhou, I will rush to the company, Jiang Wei and Zhou Fu will complain that I oppress them excessively, forget it tonight, my mother hasn't seen me for several days, I have to reward her with face." ”

"Cut, you're afraid of being trained, right?" Xu Si was disdainful, Zhang Ke was unusually calm and mature in front of anyone, but when it came to his mother, he would reveal a lot of childishness, thinking that he was also so childish in front of him, thinking so, there was a faint joy in his heart.

The car enters the city, is catching up with the rush hour of commuting, passing through the door of Haizhou No. 1 Middle School, the students who go to school late are almost congested on half of the street, most of them are junior high school students, today is Sunday, day students do not have to stay in school for self-study, plus this weekend is the only day off for boarders every month, let go of late school, there will be no one in the school except for the teachers on duty, there will be no one, there are some students who stay overnight will not go home, but never too much.

The car ant moves forward. The car drove very slowly, Zhang Ke opened the window and let the cold wind blow on his face, and after sitting in the car for so long, he felt more stuffy. Xu Si only dared to open the window of the car on her side, the speed of the car was so slow, open the window, and not let the people outside the car see enough?

Li Zhifang rode over in a magenta down jacket from the east, and her mature and charming face flashed past the street light pillar for Zhang Ke to see. Zhang Ke watched Li Zhimang ride into the school on a bicycle, and thought: There are no students in the high school to stay in school, what is she going to do when she goes back to school at this time? Zhang Ke's mind flashed: This is today!

If it weren't for the snow, if it wasn't for seeing Li Zhifang, Zhang Ke wouldn't have thought of today's specialness, if as expected, from today onwards, the lives of Li Zhifang, Wang Yanbin and Cao Guangming will be very different.

Zhang Ke patted the driver's shoulder, asked him to stop on the side of the road, and said to the driver: "You send Xu Si home first, and then give the DVD player in the car to Jiang Wei......"

"Why did you get off here and not go home?"

Zhang Ke didn't want to care about these things, but once it happened, it would have a great impact on Du Fei, so he couldn't stand idly by.

"I remember that there are still some things in the school, so I won't send you back." Zhang Ke opened the car door, the wind swept the snowflakes on his face, this is a snowflake in 1994, it feels so good, he reached out and took a few snowflakes, and wanted to put them on Xu Si's palm, which had melted into a few drops of cold water and fell on Xu Si's palm.

Xu Si smiled gently, Zhang Ke closed the car door, watched the car go away, and then turned around and walked towards the school gate. It's still early, there are still many students in the school, walked to the front of the high school teaching building, looked up and saw that the classroom on the fourth floor was still lit, I don't know who was still in the classroom, presumably Li Zhifang saw the classroom with the lights on, and would definitely go to the classroom to see first.

"Zhang Ke," Du Fei's head poked out from the balcony, Zhang Ke stood under the street lamp, did not deliberately hide, although the snow was big, it could not block people's vision, so that Du Fei could see it at a glance, "Why did you come to school today?" ”

Zhang Ke may disappear at any time even during normal classes, but it is indeed strange enough to come to school on the weekend when the high school is closed.

The others poked their heads out one after another, they were all class committee members, and they didn't see Tang Jing, Zhang Ke raised his head and asked, "Where is Tang Jing?" ”

"Our class committee has a meeting, Tang Jing asked for leave and didn't come, you don't know where she went?" Du Fei poked his head out of the railing and shouted, "Come on, it's snowing so hard outside." ”

Zhang Ke went upstairs, and Li Zhifang was in the classroom, not looking like he had rushed over to cheat.

Zhang Ke also heard about it afterwards, after so many years, I can't remember the details of what is about to happen, and I don't know if she came to school at this time specifically to keep warm up with Wang Yanbin, and because the class committee held a meeting today, probably to discuss next month's speech competition. Zhang Ke sat in the classroom, watching the class committee members continue to discuss, and Li Zhifang asked Zhang Ke if he had any opinions. Suddenly, Zhang Ke thought that Li Zhifang completely ignored his existence. Zhang Ke had heard Tang Jing talk a little before, but he didn't take it to heart, he kept thinking about her and Wang Yanbin's affairs, and his reaction was a little short-circuited, and he shook his head and said that he had no opinion. Li Zhifang was quite disappointed and asked Du Fei and them to continue the discussion.

Li Zhifang did not participate in Du Fei's discussion, and left the classroom with a stack of test papers. As soon as Li Zhifang left, Du Fei and the others were not in shape, and began to laugh and play. Zhang Ke couldn't play with them, and sat aside, feeling a little lonely. In the middle, Li Zhifang came back again and asked everyone to go back.

Everyone else left first, and Zhang Ke and Du Fei dragged behind.

Du Fei asked Zhang Ke: "Where to eat, where have you gone on leave these days, no matter how much you ask, I can't inquire about your whereabouts." He took out a pack of cigarettes from his schoolbag and handed it to Zhang Ke.

Zhang Ke smiled dumbly and decided to quit, but he didn't expect Du Fei to start learning to smoke at this time. took a cigarette and squatted in the shadow of the flower bed in front of the office building, Du Fei turned his back to light a cigarette for the two of them, both of them hid in the shadows of the flowers and trees, only two cigarette butts were lit up in the shadows, and if they didn't go close to take a closer look, they couldn't find the two of them at all.

Several rooms in the office building were lit up, the school leader's office was on the second floor, and the lights in the corridor were very bright. Zhang Ke raised his hand and looked at his watch, with the faint fluorescence, it was already half past six, and even if there were teachers in the school, there were not many.

Wang Yanbin walked out of the principal's office, hesitated at the door for a while, walked to the west end of the aisle, knocked on the door of the office of the Academic Affairs Office a few times, he did not wait for the people inside to respond, he turned around, came down the stairs, hesitated downstairs for a while, looked up and saw Li Zhifang coming out of the office, and then turned around and walked towards the newly built science and education building behind the office building.

Du Fei twisted the cigarette butt on the ground, Zhang Ke adapted to the light in the dark, saw Du Fei's expression was very vicious, and sighed in his heart: This kid knows the relationship between Li Zhifang and Wang Yanbin?

Li Zhifang then got down and also walked in the direction of the Science and Education Building. When she was in the classroom before, her high heels kicked on the ground. Although Zhang Ke was far away, the campus was quiet at this time, but he didn't hear the sound of her high heels hitting the ground.

"." Du Fei spat viciously, his face was a little distorted, and he was very vicious.

Zhang Ke patted him on the shoulder, Li Zhifang and Wang Yanbin's behavior is normal in the eyes of adults; But sixteen-year-old Du Fei probably couldn't accept that the image of the perfect mature woman in his mind was destroyed.

"Do you know about Teacher Li and Wang Yanbin?" Du Fei stared at Zhang Ke, "How do you know?" ”

"I'm not blind, I'm not stupid, who can't see it?" Zhang Ke is talking nonsense.

Du Fei's eyes were round, a layer of snow had accumulated on his body, he slapped the snow away, and threw his arms to leave, Zhang Ke grabbed him.

Cao Guangming came out of the office at this time, he walked to Wang Yanbin's office and knocked on the door, but he didn't see any reaction inside, so he tiptoed to Li Zhifang's office and knocked on the door, waited for a while, and flew downstairs as if he was going downstairs, and then turned to the direction of the science and education building.

Du Fei startled Cao Guangming's strange movements, and asked Zhang Ke, "Where is Cao Guangming going?" ”

Zhang Ke still handed over the decision to Du Fei and said: "What are Li Zhifang and Wang Yanbin doing, Cao Guangming probably guessed that if he can catch the traitor on the spot, Li Zhifang and Wang Yanbin will be ruined, and he can successfully become the principal of the first middle school." ”

"......" Du Fei took a breath of cold air, didn't say anything, his fists were clenched tightly, and by the faint light, he could see his shoulders trembling slightly. Zhang Ke took out a cigarette and a lighter from his pocket, handed him one, and lit it for him. For a sixteen-year-old boy, these things may be too complicated, but as long as he has experienced these things, he will probably suddenly mature a lot.

Du Fei took a puff of cigarette and walked towards the science and education building with a fierce face, Zhang Ke leisurely lit a cigarette, smoked it slowly, shook off the snow on his shoulders, and halfway through the second cigarette, he heard a dull scream from the direction of the science and education building, something rolled down the stairs, and it was faintly heard in the quiet campus.

The voice was a little quieter, and I couldn't hear it clearly, and after Zhang Ke finished smoking the cigarette in his hand, he heard Li Zhifang's scream: "Du Fei, stop it, you will die!" ”

The teachers who remained in the office all heard Li Zhifang's cry and walked to the aisle one after another, looking at each other, unsure where the sound came from. Zhang Ke threw away the cigarette butt and ran to the science and education building, although Du Fei is sixteen years old, he is tall and big, it doesn't seem to be his old son Du Xiaoshan's species, if he is really ruthless, something big will happen.

Du Feiren rode on Cao Guangming's body, punching Cao Guangming's face fiercely, Li Zhifang was disheveled, she didn't care about tidying up her clothes, she ran over to grab Du Fei's arm, but threw him away. Zhang Ke rushed over, grabbed the fist that Du Fei was about to swing, and suddenly pulled him down, seeing that Du Fei was about to rush up and beat Cao Guangming to death, he stretched out his hand and scraped his ears: "Enough!" ”

The teachers on the other side of the office building gathered around at this time, watching the chaotic scene, not knowing what was happening. Cao Guangming's body was trembling on the ground, his face was covered with blood, Li Zhifang fell to the ground on the side, his clothes were disheveled, and Du Fei's body and hands were covered with blood, which was obviously blood flowing from Cao Guangming's body.

"What's going on?" Wu Bingsheng, the leader of the mathematics group, was only fifty years old with white hair, and was the most prestigious teacher in the school, he reached out to probe Cao Guangming's snort, and turned back to order a young teacher, "Teacher Li, you go and call an ambulance," staring at Du Fei, it was obvious that it was Du Fei who beat the teacher, and the student beat the teacher so badly, and he was extremely annoyed, and said sharply: "What's the matter, so late, why are you still in school?" ”

Du Fei stared at his blood-red eyes, not afraid at all.

Zhang Ke kicked him and said to Wu Bingsheng: "I hid at the staircase with Du Fei to smoke, and Teacher Cao and Teacher Li came to see it, Teacher Cao slapped Du Fei indiscriminately, and Du Fei hit Teacher Cao like crazy. ”

With the help of the street lamp, everyone clearly saw the bright red handprint on the left side of Du Fei's face, which was really clear, and the strength of the slap could be seen.

Zhang Ke also used ruthlessness in order to wake up Du Fei. Du Fei saw everyone looking at his left side of his face at this time, and only then did he realize the pain, covered his left face, and still didn't say a word.

Li Zhifang tidied up her clothes, everyone thought that when she was dissuading Du Fei, her clothes were messy, she heard Zhang Ke say this, she was stunned, looking left and right in a panic, and she couldn't see Wang Yanbin's shadow.

Wu Bingsheng turned around and glanced at Li Zhifang, not doubting Zhang Ke's words, here Li Zhifang is the director of the Academic Affairs Office, how to deal with the matter has to listen to her opinion, and asked her: "Director Li, how to deal with this matter?" ”

Li Zhifang's heart was in turmoil, she didn't have the courage to expose Zhang Ke's lie that was obviously defending her and Du Fei, but she knew how this lie could not be punctured by others, seeing that everyone was looking at her, seeing Cao Guangming lying on the ground and convulsing, she said in a panic: "Do you want to send Teacher Cao to the doctor first?" ”

Wu Bingsheng ordered someone to call an ambulance, she didn't say this, and everyone didn't expect the female teacher to deal with this kind of sudden incident, Du Fei is the son of Du Xiaoshan, secretary of the Xicheng District Party Committee, and Cao Guangming beat people first, and the teachers who stayed behind were silent.

"Where's Principal Wang?" Wu Bingsheng suddenly realized that Wang Yanbin did not appear, and remembered that the other person was still in the office and did not leave the school.

Zhang Ke scolded secretly, this turtle son, slip away quickly, the matter is not handled well, you turtle son escaped to the sky!

"Or didn't you hear me?" One teacher said, "I'll go to the office and call him." He turned around the building in front of him and turned back, and Wang Yanbin appeared after him.

Wang Yanbin forced his composure and said, "What's wrong, what's going on?" He hid and watched the situation. Pretending to listen to the teacher's report next to him, he said: "Send Teacher Cao to the hospital first, it's not too early, let the two students go back first, and leave the matter until tomorrow." ”

Zhang Ke saw that Du Feitou was there, and he hadn't been able to completely recover his senses, so he pulled him and half-dragged him out of the science and education building. Walking to the front of the office building, Du Fei asked Zhang Ke as if he had come back to his soul: "Go, go drink with me." ”

"Does your face hurt?" Zhang Ke saw him nodding, "I know that the pain is not sober, hurry up to contact your Lao Tzu, Cao Guangming will lose half his life if he doesn't die, do you think it's okay to drink with you?" Why the fuck are you so ruthless? ”

Zhang Ke ignored what he was about to say aggrievedly, and asked him to wash off some of the blood stains on his body, and then come to the newsstand outside the school gate. I'm not sure that I can contact Du Xiaoshan immediately, Zhang Ke only remembers Du Fei's home phone, but the phone number of the Xicheng District Party Committee can be called 114 to inquire. Du Fei's mother was at home, Zhang Ke asked Du Xiaoshan's big brother number, but he couldn't get through, so he called the Xicheng District Party Committee, but the switchboard didn't help you pass the word at all, and waited until Du Fei came out to call Du Xiaoshan's secretary.
