060. The Fallen High School Years (Part II)
Mr. Huang picked up his glass, the tea leaves in the cup were brewed long, like the lush aquatic plants in the clear waves, which was seven points high, and he took a sip of tea: "When you are old, you have to drink it strongly, otherwise it will have no taste!" ”
Putting down the cup, he looked sideways at several students, and slowly spoke: "I have the impression that our admissions team specially interviewed a few children, including Kong Fei, who successfully passed the interview with the conditions that he won the first prize in the junior high school mathematics Olympiad, and was directly sent to the high school, and did not participate in the high school entrance examination.

"It's a pity," Mr. Huang shook his head, leaned back in the chair, and sighed, "He was okay in his first year of high school, and all the indicators played normally, but as soon as he entered the second year of high school, his grades slowly declined, and after that, this child was completely annihilated in the crowd, and I didn't hear much about him later, until he had an accident this time, and I remembered some things back then." ”
Ning Hao felt an inexplicably ominous feeling in his heart, the second year of high school, it was the year he and Zuo Ling graduated and left high school, could it be that at that time, something happened to Kong Fei?
Seeing Ning Hao's brows frowning slightly, Teacher Huang continued: "After all, I don't know much, so after receiving Ning Hao's call, I contacted Mr. Guo, Kong Fei's homeroom teacher back then, and specially asked him about the child's situation. ”
"Teacher Guo told me on the phone that after the summer vacation of Kong Fei's first year of high school, it was like a different person, he was no longer as diligent and hard-working as before, he was absent-minded all day long, and his academic performance plummeted."
"At first, Mr. Guo thought that the situation at his home had a negative impact on him, so he went to his house to make a home visit, although his parents are halfway husband and wife, they are both very good-tempered people, especially his stepmother to him, it can be said that it is better than all the examples of being a stepmother I have heard, and his parents have a good relationship."
"The parents were completely unaware of the reason for his change, and according to Mr. Guo's recollection, his parents' speech and demeanor revealed their doting on this son everywhere, and they were reluctant to say anything bad about him, and what was especially impressive was that his stepmother was more prominent than his father in this regard."
Mr. Huang gestured from time to time when he spoke, just like his body language in class when he was younger, and he looked very talkative, which also made the conversation more vivid, and the audience seemed to be transported to that slightly weird family atmosphere.
The three people who listened to the story looked at each other, although their parents were good to the young Kong Fei, but for some reason, the listener felt an inexplicable sense of depression, and felt that he was always a little uncomfortable, but he couldn't say why.
After a pause, Mr. Huang continued: "The effect of the home visit is not very large, and his parents have neither encouraged nor restrained him, so Mr. Guo learned about it among his classmates. ”
After understanding, Mr. Guo found that Kong Fei wrapped himself tightly and never confided in his classmates, to be precise, he was actually a person who had no friends.
Teacher Huang sighed again and continued: "How lonely this child is......"
Wu Dong rubbed his hands and didn't forget to interject at the right time: "This guy must be hiding some ulterior secret!" ”
Ning Hao cushioned his chin with the back of his hand, and his doubts grew in his heart.
Mr. Huang's thoughts were pulled back by Wu Dong's sudden summary, he took a sip of tea, moistened his slightly dry throat, regained his vitality on his face, and continued to tell the story of the young man who did not seem to be vicious.
"This man's heart is like a city, how can there be an impermeable wall? He didn't say anything, but others could guess a few points through his eyes, the few words he occasionally revealed, and the inadvertent small movements. Therefore, a male classmate in the same class reported to Mr. Guo that Kong Fei might have a crush. ”
Speaking of this, Mr. Huang laughed like a young man.
"My Fair Lady, I can't ask for it, I toss and turn, this is what the good deed said he was in at that time. And they guessed that when facing that girl, Kong Fei's heart should be extremely inferior, and he didn't even dare to confess. ”
"As for the reason for the sharp decline in the sophomore state of high school, these students also have their own statements."
Ning Hao and the three of them looked at Teacher Huang's face seriously, looking forward to the rumors they would hear next, which might bring some useful information.
"It was said that his crush had an accident that summer, either a girl a few years older, who got married at that time, or died in an accident...... In short, there was no hope for him. But in reality, no one knows what's going on, and no one knows who his crush is! ”
The rumors were really just rumors, and they didn't sound convincing, but Ning Hao's heart twisted up, and a sense of tension hit his chest, making him very unhappy, and an unpleasant thought gradually took shape in his mind.
This Kong Fei, who seemed to have nothing to do with him before, the object of his crush was his Zuo Ling?
It just so happened that they graduated that year, and Zuo Ling was far away from Kong Fei's field of vision, which made the teenager who had just entered the second year of high school feel stunned, and then gave up on himself and became sinking, this explanation seems to have some truth.
Ning Hao thought quickly, and looked at Zuo Ling from time to time, only to see her puzzled face, her eyes staring at Teacher Huang, she shouldn't have thought as much.
Thinking of this, Ning Hao was slightly relieved, he didn't want Zuo Ling to be bothered too much, she always had some hindsight for such things, Ning Hao knew that for so many years, Zuo Ling only had him in his heart, and as for the other eager eyes around her, she was almost unaware.
Due to his relationship with Zuo Ling, Ning Hao was not convenient to put forward his bold guess in front of Teacher Huang, so he put down the water glass, gently supported his thighs with both hands and straightened up, looking polite and decent, and asked softly: "Teacher, look, can you show us his previous files?" ”
"Oh! That's right! Look at me, I almost forgot! Teacher Huang took out a bunch of keys from the drawer, got up and led the three people to the next door, and while opening the door, he said, "I have found it in advance, I will take out Kong Fei's information and put it on that shelf alone, you see!" ”
Everyone circulates a pile of slightly yellowed materials, searching for Kong Fei's past in the traces of time, hoping to find clues to his motives for becoming a "robot ghost".
The information did not bring too many surprises, but it confirmed the well-documented part of Mr. Huang's recollection, such as Kong Fei from Shuangqing City No. 1 Middle School, and it is also the junior high school alma mater of three people who came with him today.
Wu Dong patted the finished paper and added: "According to the resume collected by our company's human resources department, he was not directly employed after graduating from his bachelor's degree, and was unemployed at home for two years, and then came to work in our 'Hahaxiao Robot Company' until he was recently arrested." ”
Out of the archives, Ning Hao thanked Teacher Huang for his kindness.
"Thanks to you, we have gained a lot from this visit!" Ning Hao held the teacher's hand, an elder he had admired since he was in middle school, and the teacher he would inevitably visit whenever he returned to Shuangqing City in the past few years.
"You're welcome, kid," Teacher Huang said, and suddenly his face turned bright, as if he remembered something, "Oh! By the way, Professor Zhang of Qingyi College is good? Now that you have become colleagues, what a rare fate! I still remember when you were in high school, he often came to me to learn about you, as your father's old colleague, he was very concerned about you, he used to be afraid that you would be distracted, and he was afraid that you would feel uncomfortable when you missed your father, so he wouldn't let me tell you. ”
"Professor Zhang from Qingyi Academy?" Ning Hao repeated in a low voice in confusion.
"Hmmm! Oh, yes! "Teacher Huang was very interested.
"Speaking of which, Professor Zhang is still Kong Fei's university teacher......" Ning Hao muttered.
Wu Dong shrugged: "This world is too small!" ”
After saying goodbye to Teacher Huang, Zuo Ling held Ning Hao's hand in the back of the car, she didn't think too much about it like him, but faintly felt that Ning Hao seemed to be under some kind of pressure, and now, she just wanted to bring him warmth and support, even if it was just a little bit.
