Chapter 17: Confession
Chapter 17 Confession
Early the next morning, Zeng Xunque went to school. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info sat in the empty classroom, looking at every student who came in from the door, looking forward to the appearance of that familiar figure.
But over and over again, the man still didn't come in. It's like the book on the desktop, turning page after page, and never finding what you want to read.
One class passed, and another passed. There are always two empty spaces in the classroom, one is Quan Yunzhen and the other is Guan Zaihang.
As the saying goes, 'good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles'. No, what happened in the class yesterday is spreading in the class today. Almost as soon as we met, there was talk about it.
Some people say that it was Zeng Xunque's fault, but Quan Yunzhen did take the blame for him, saying that Zeng Xunque was really selfish and cold-blooded. Some people also said that the relationship between the two of them is not simple, so Quan Yunzhen will help Zeng Xunque like this.
No matter where Zeng Xunque went, he could hear these gossips, which made his originally guilty heart even more guilty.
There are even such rumors: Quan Yunzhen and Guan Zaihang were ordered to drop out of school because they fought and made trouble, and the situation was particularly bad!
Such news spread in the class in an instant like an explosion. When the news reached Zeng Xunque's ears, he deeply felt that his heart was being pinched tightly, and it hurt and hurt.
Just when he was at a loss and hesitating, Ling Kuihao took the initiative to find him.
This is the first time Ling Kuihao has come to him to 'chat', although they are classmates, but they basically haven't been able to say a few words, if there is no Quan Yunzhen, it is estimated that they will die of old age.
The corridor that was originally empty became noisy due to the warm winter sun. Zeng Xunque put his hands lightly on the railing, and the lazy warm sun sprinkled on his body, but he couldn't shine on the haze in his happiness.
"Zeng Xunque... I know it's bad to look for you like this, but I have to look for you for the sake of Quan Yunzhen, you know? ”
Zeng Xunque knew from the beginning that Ling Kuihao was looking for him, which probably meant Quan Yunzhen's matter. But at the moment, he was silent.
"Quan Yunzhen beat someone in order to help you. In order to help you, bear all the mistakes. He treats you like his best friend, and he doesn't regret doing this for you. However, have you ever thought that he might be expelled from school because of this? Do you know what a big stain on his life it would be to drop out of school? Ling Kuihao said righteous words.
"I know, it's me... It's all my fault. Zeng Xunque's heart was full of guilt, and finally overflowed.
"I'm not saying it's your fault, these are what Quan Yunzhen is willing to do for you, and it's not your fault. What you have to do now is to redeem him, do everything you can to redeem him, and keep him from dropping out. ”
"But I'm ...... How?"
"If you explain the whole thing clearly to the teacher, the teacher will look at your face, and maybe it won't be so serious."
Zeng Xunque was a little choked, and he was uneasy at the moment. The heart was torn in half, half was that vanity, and the other half was full of guilt for Quan Yunzhen.
Ling Kuihao gently patted Zeng Xunque's shoulder, who was immersed in the entanglement, and said comfortingly, "I know you are very entangled, but Quan Yunzhen does not deserve such a punishment, he is like this for you, shouldn't you also help him?" ”
Zeng Xunque never said another word, he was very guilty, and that guilt almost buried him.
Ling Kuihao just smiled faintly, didn't say anything more, and left quietly.
Zeng Xunque was left stunned in place, and his legs seemed to be filled with lead, and he couldn't move his footsteps......
In the afternoon class, time passed quickly. But Zeng Xunque's mind was in chaos, and he couldn't concentrate it. When the school bell rang and the classroom became empty, he realized that the afternoon had passed in vain.
When he passed by the door of the office, he noticed that the lights were still on. The footsteps slowed down hesitantly, and after wandering for a long time, he still knocked on the door that opened his heart.
"Please come in!"
Teacher Wen's voice came from inside the wall, making Zeng Xunque's heart jump nervously.
The door was gently pushed open, and Teacher Wen saw Zeng Xunque with a sad face walking in.
"Zeng Xunque, why haven't you come home yet? Is there anything wrong with finding a teacher? ”
Zeng Xunque nodded, but he kept his head down, not daring to look into the teacher's eyes.
"Oh? What happened to you? Doesn't look like he's in any energy, is it sick? Teacher Wen asked with concern.
"Teacher...... I'm here to confess to you......"
"Confession? Confess what? ”
"Yesterday's fight was actually caused by me. Guan Zaihang provoked me, I didn't control my emotions, I originally wanted to fight Guan Zaihang, but Quan Yunzhen did it himself in order to help me. All this had nothing to do with him, but he helped me stupidly, and I kept avoiding it, asking him to help me carry the black pot...... I'm sorry, it's all my fault that the teacher has nothing to do with Kwon Yunzhen. ”
Zeng Xunque's frank words shocked Mr. Wen a little, but it seemed that this was what he expected.
"Alright, Zeng Xunque. The teacher is very happy to hear you say that. This is the end of the matter, don't worry about it. You can't be blamed for this, it's fine. ”
Teacher Wen's attitude is surprisingly good today, which Zeng Xunque did not expect.
"Teacher...... I want to help Quan Yunzhen share a little punishment, after all, this matter is caused by me......" Zeng Xunque lowered his head in shame.
"Punishment? What sanctions? Who said it was going to be punished?" Teacher Wen said that he was in the fog and didn't understand.
"Listen to my classmates...... Quan Yunzhen is going to be expelled from school, and he didn't come to class..."
Teacher Wen smiled very helplessly, sighed and said, "Where was Quan Yunzhen punished for being dropped out of school!" Who is talking nonsense. His father took him a few days off, it's okay, you're worrying too much. ”
"Really?" Zeng Xunque was overjoyed at the moment, as if he had come back to life after death, "Teacher Wen, Zeng Xunque really hasn't been punished?" ”
"No, not really. It's just a good education. ”
"Thank you, teacher, so that I feel much more at ease." As if a big stone had been removed in his heart, Zeng Xunque laughed easily.
"Zeng Xunque?"
"Huh?"
"Can the teacher ask you a question?"
Zeng Xunque nodded curiously, this was the first time he had heard Teacher Wen speak in such a tone.
"When did you and Kwon Yunzhen become good friends? Because in the teacher's memory, you don't seem to have a very good relationship. ”
"We've been good friends lately, and because his grades have dropped recently, I asked me to help him with his lessons. Over time, the relationship will be better..."As he spoke, he seemed to see the person who was smiling in front of him all day long, the person who invited him to a 'big meal' all day long, and the person who helped him to fight hard......
Only now did he realize that he no longer had a bad impression of Quan Yunzhen, and all he left behind were good memories.
"It's good to see you helping each other like this. The teacher hopes that you can help Quan Yunzhen who has dropped her grades recently. Of course, don't let him do it again if there is such a thing as fighting. ”
"Okay, teacher, I know."
When he came out of the office, Zeng Xunque was completely relaxed, and the words that he had been holding back for a long time finally came out, not only that, but he also heard the good news that made him feel at ease, which can be said to be the happiest day in so many days.
――――――
Quan Yunzhen is still in a stalemate with his father, he is like a rebellious teenager, and he has conflicts with his family, although his heart has long passed the age of rebellion.
After not going to school for two days, he began to worry about his son. Worried about whether he has eaten and slept well, whether he has taken good care of himself, and whether he has studied well......
These are things that are of particular concern to a father, especially to such a sentimental father.
If the problem of the 'father' here is not solved, he will not be able to see his son over there, and he will be tired just thinking about it.
The heart is tired, but often the tired things are always accompanied by the comfortable things. Therefore, when Quan Yunzhen was at home, he received a letter from Zeng Xunque to 'himself'.
In order to receive the letter sent by his son, Zeng Xunque did not work hard to get this letter to his 'father'. Although the content is very simple, some simple homely words, just a few sentences have written all the joys, sorrows and sorrows in his heart.
To Quan Yunzhen's relief, his son wrote the person 'Quan Yunzhen' clearly in the letter, saying that he had found a friend who was very good to him. He smiled warmly, and as a friend, he truly integrated into his son's life.
Talking to his son as a father and taking care of his son as a friend, although he doesn't know how long such a lie can last, he will not give up such an opportunity.
After reading the letter, although he did not shed gratitude or tears, he smiled happily.
In the second drawer under the desk on the right, Quan Yunzhen folded it cleanly, and stored his son's first 'family letter' intact and locked it in the hidden place of the drawer.
There may be a second letter later, a third one... 's family letters, he will keep each one of them in the future, and treasure them as the last bit of comfort for himself to 'secretly' be a father.
Picking up the pen again, Quan Yunzhen tried his best to imitate his handwriting during his lifetime, imitating word by word, and compiled everything he wanted to say in his heart into a letter - a reply letter sent to his son.
He realized that the letters he had written to his son and sent to the post office were too unreliable, and he had to write them one by one himself if he wanted his son not to discover his secrets.
Take care of his son as a hypothetical father and give him a sense of security. That's what he should do as a virtual father!
