Chapter 215: Teachers and Students Meet
He stood at the top of the Meiyin Building, the colors of autumn were extremely gloomy, and he opened his arms, as if he wanted to embrace the whole world.
That was where Yanran jumped, as if he could see the girl he loved the most after seeing the desolation of the world, leaping hard, and finally dying tragically in a pool of blood.
He once said that he would be with her for the rest of his life.
Don't give up!
Now he has broken his oath and lives alone, but he is more desperate than death.
This, he thought, was the sin he was going to atone for.
But now, is it time for this sin to be ended?
It's been eight years, day after day, full of torment and torture.
The world without her is too cruel and sad for him, and has no meaning in life.
So be it!
If there was no Gu Yanran in this world, then he would go to another world to find her.
***********
In the Nanhua Academic Affairs Office, a pot of tea, the warm fragrance permeated the room, and the thin smoke rose.
There are several layers of bookcases in the office that are used to place various medals and medals, which have been placed for a long time and are not often taken care of, and there is a layer of dust.
There is a large wall on the right side near the door, which is dedicated to the photos of the graduates over the years, the owner of the photos cherishes these photos, each one is framed with a delicate photo frame, and the lower corner is marked with the name of each student according to the position where he stands, and there is no trace of dust on the glass of the frame, so you can know that these photos mean far more to him than which golden trophies.
"Come and drink tea, this tea was bought in the summer vacation when I went to Hangzhou to play. The taste is fragrant and not bad. The man who spoke was dark-skinned, with dark eyebrows, and short, thick hair that was somewhat curly.
It is precisely because of this dense curly that many classmates secretly nicknamed him "Curly Hair", and after calling it for a long time, they forgot that his real name was actually Zhang Xi.
The guests in the office are standing next to the photo wall, looking so distracted that they seem to have fallen into some kind of dream. Hear his words. Only then did he pull his sanity back and sit down on the couch.
Xuanmu took a sip of tea, although it was not a top-notch green tea, but the taste was also fragrant.
It was a place he frequented when he was a student. In and out so many times. But I never stopped to take a closer look at this photo wall that recorded the teacher's years of life.
"I haven't seen it in years. I almost didn't recognize you! Teacher Zhang said with emotion that every year there are students who graduate, and naturally many students enroll.
He has taught countless students. But almost every teacher has in mind a few children who are impressive, either with exceptional academic performance or very mischievous children.
But no matter how you look at it, the young man sitting in front of him doesn't look like the latter.
Now this young man who drinks tea calmly is no longer an ignorant teenager who is ignorant of the world, but the heir of Nangong Group, who is known as a new generation of business wizards.
"It's been eight years!" He said lightly, his expression was calm, and there was hardly any expression on his face.
Oh, yes! Eight years, eight years is enough for a person to have earth-shaking changes, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he must have never thought that the originally naughty and mischievous big boy would become what he is now, exuding an atmosphere of indifference and alienation, a sense of distance that is unattainable and rejects people.
Teachers and students should talk about the past when they meet, and it seems that there should be many bits and pieces in the three years of high school that can become the talk of this long-term absence, and they will say that they want to think about how you were a kid at the beginning, or at that time, everyone was most afraid of you...... And so on, but it's a topic they can't talk about.
There is no other reason, for Xuanmu, all the memories in Nanhua must involve other people.
At that time, they were almost inseparable, laughing and teasing all day long, I don't know how many jokes they made, but now they are dead, sick, crippled, and have a sad ending, even if the memory is beautiful, it will become an untouchable pain.
After a short greeting, the two of them chatted, mostly Mr. Zhang was talking, and it seemed that he wanted to enliven the atmosphere, but he couldn't hide his smile and smile.
Eventually, Genki got up and said that there was still something to do, and that he was going to leave first, saying that he was grateful for his tea.
Xuanmu is very polite and polite, and if the boy who didn't understand the world eight years ago was judged, it should be regarded as progress, and it can also be said to be mature, but for some reason Teacher Zhang has an indescribable melancholy.
Teacher Zhang also stood up, wanting to say something, but he wanted to stop talking, and finally smiled, and said that he hoped he could come here more often, after all, it was his alma mater.
Xuanmu didn't say anything more, turned and left.
Teacher Zhang stood by the window of the office, looking at the backs of the people downstairs gradually moving away, and couldn't help but lament, things are people, that's it.
I didn't expect to see each other again after many years, it would be the scene like it is now, so embarrassed and unfamiliar that I have nothing to say.
He vaguely remembered that in high school, they stuck together all day long, walked in four of them, laughing and playing, and enjoying the best years of their lives, but now they were all brought into the grave of a girl, and no one dared to recall.
He remembers that spring, when the kapok on campus was blooming, he held a guitar under the tree and sang for her, and the song was "Xiaowei".
At that time, Xuanmu was the most naughty of his many students, and he had a lot of bad ideas, and the key was the student with whom he had the best personal friendship, and it was a shame to say that his first confession was arranged by this student.
He remembered her embarrassed expression that night, and remembered that Xuanmu suddenly took Yanran's hand and got out of the bushes, shouting "Hello teacher" at him and Qi Wei, which frightened them into immediately pulling away a long distance.
Naturally, I also remember that night, this bright and innocent boy once said to them: "Report to the teacher, we are dating." ”
"I like Gu Yanran, I will be good to her for the rest of my life, and after graduating from college, I will marry her. When we get married, you and Teacher Qi must be our witnesses. ”
He remembered that the boy's voice was very loud, not hidden, not cowardly, not afraid. More sincere than anyone else, echoing in the sky above the small garden, with crooked eyebrows and bright smiles.
Now, he couldn't see it on his face anymore.
Eight years have passed, and what has changed is not only Nangong Xuanmu?
Next to the bookcase, there are photos of their family of three traveling, known as the four wicked curly hairs got married, the family is happy, the daughter is 6 years old this year, and their family of three will travel to various places every winter and summer vacation. The office is full of the marks of their family's happiness.
It's just that. The person in the photo is not Qi Wei who he pursued eight years ago.
There are always some people in life who come and leave in a hurry, leaving too many good memories, too happy but too sad.
Too many vows are destined to come true. For example, Xuanmu once said that he wanted to marry Yanran. For example, he and Qi Wei also secretly promised to attend their wedding together.
But actually. Not long after the two dated, Qi Wei suddenly broke up with him and left his job in a hurry. He was in pain for a while, and even thought that he would never be able to fall in love with someone else again in this life.
But then he met his current wife, got married, had children, and lived a happy life.
He believed that when God closes a door for you, He will open a window for you.
There may be more than one way to achieve happiness, as long as you dare to face the sun, the future will always be full of hope.
In fact, in the end, he had something to say to Xuanmu, wanting him to face life positively and wishing him happiness.
It's just that in the end, these words were all held in my chest.
Perhaps, the girl's death has become a distant story for them, and even faded out of their memory.
But for Xuanmu, it was like a tragedy that had just happened.
If he binds himself, no amount of warm sunlight will burn his eyes, and no matter how positive his words are, they will provoke his anger.
It was purely accidental to meet Xuan Mu for Curly Hair, he was going back to the office, but he saw a figure from a distance, in a suit and leather shoes, with a straight body and outstanding temperament, he thought he was a guest of the principal, but he immediately denied this possibility.
Nanhua has always been strict with the management of outsiders, if it is a guest, there will usually be someone with him, but this person is obviously a person, and seems to know the location of Nanhua's buildings very well, and is very purposeful to go in the direction of Meiyin Building.
It may be because of this that the students are full of curiosity about the girl who jumped off the building and committed suicide, and the more curious they are, the more mysterious they feel, so there are several versions of ghost stories circulating on campus, and the three words Gu Yanran are synonymous with female ghosts in Nanhua, and they are also synonymous with learning gods.
Someone picked up Yanran's grades, and was surprised to find that she was one of the few full-scoring students in Nanhua, and died tragically on campus, so inexplicably she became the "god of learning" that must be worshiped before every monthly exam and joint entrance examination.
But to those who witnessed her fall, she was neither a ghost nor a god, but a poor girl.
Yanran's matter more or less left traces in everyone's hearts at that time, especially for curly hair, so he followed behind the man like a ghost, although it was only his back, and he had changed too much, he didn't dare to recognize it, but he guessed who that person was.
Think about the whole of South China, who can come and go so freely?
Last year, Nanhua College was officially included in the name of Nangong Group, from the school board of directors to the organizational structure of the school has undergone huge changes, the entire Nanhua College is panicked, and recently there are rumors that Nanhua College will face a heavy choice, which directly affects the question of the entire college.
And the person who controls this qiē is none other than Nangong Xuanmu, the only heir of the Nangong family, who is known as a business wizard and serves as the youngest president of Nangong Group.
But why did he come here suddenly?
Moreover, if he came as the president of Nangong Group, he would definitely alarm a group of executives, so it can be seen that he did not seem to attract too much attention this time.
And what made him most uneasy was that Nangong Xuanmu's direction of travel was very clear, Meiyin Building.
Eight years ago, Gu Yanran jumped from it.
So he followed him until he reached the top of the roof, and stood on the top of the roof, with his arms outstretched.
Curly shouted: "Nangong Xuanmu"
Then he turned his head and looked at him, and his eyes were black and hollow, like a soulless shell.
Until now he was afraid if he was one step late...... He didn't dare to imagine what Xuanmu would do.
