Chapter 20: The Expected Redemption
"It's not good to be white, the old class asked you to go to the office."
Lin Xiaoxiang walked to Bai Hao's seat and said with a smile.
"Okay, I'll go over here." When he heard this, he put down the pen he was writing his homework on.
Glancing at the seat in front of the side, Lin Xiaoxiang was a little puzzled and asked.
"Shouldn't Ning Xin be sleeping at this point? Why is it gone? ”
"He didn't come all morning this morning, so he probably asked for leave for something."
"Hmm..."Lin Xiaoxiang nodded, thoughtful.
Bai Hao said goodbye to her, and walked to the office.
solemn is still the same as before, holding the teacup in both hands, looking at the prepared courseware, and taking a sip from time to time.
"Teacher, are you looking for me?" The boy walked up to her.
"Well, how's it going?"
The solemn corners of his mouth chuckled, looking very happy.
"It's good, I'm not as distracted in class as I used to be." The boy thought for a moment, then replied.
solemnly took out a piece of paper from the table, looked at it for a while, and then said with satisfaction.
"I did well in the exam this time, and I improved by 15 places, and it seems that I have been studying hard recently."
The results of this midterm exam have not been announced, and the one held by the old class should not have been posted yet, so I thought to myself.
"But to be honest, I really didn't expect you to go up that day at the class meeting, and you read so well." solemnly did not hesitate to praise himself, and said.
"I just wanted to give it a try, but I didn't expect it to be like this." Shiro scratches his head and feels very shy.
"It's really like..."The solemn and beautiful eyes looked at the white face, I don't know what I thought, I was a little emotional, and muttered.
Bai Hao bit his lip, lowered his head slightly, and didn't dare to look into the teacher's eyes. Put your hands behind your back, a little overwhelmed.
He frowned again, solemnly as if he had thought of something, and after a moment of silence, he said:
"Do you know why Ning Xin didn't come today?"
"Why?" Bai Hao was a little stunned, and he didn't know why Lao Ban suddenly asked him this.
solemnly picked up the teacup and took a sip, then said slowly:
"Ning Xin didn't come today, and she didn't ask for leave, so I called her mother and asked what the situation was. Her mother told me that Ning Xin had locked her room and stayed in it for a day, but she was in a hurry, but she couldn't open the door no matter how much she called. ”
"Did something happen?" Bai Hao was even more confused.
"It's something that happened." Zhuang nodded emphatically, then sighed, and said. "Ning Xin's parents recently divorced, and her mother told me that the relationship between their husband and wife has always been bad, and it has been dragging on all these years, and it was only recently that she made up her mind to leave, so she first took Ning Xin back from the dormitory for two days to do ideological work for her, but she didn't expect Ning Xin's reaction to be so big."
It turned out that such a cheerful person would also encounter this kind of thing, and Bai Hao began to worry a little about Ning Xin.
"Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, according to Ning Xin's character, I usually never thought that her family would be like this anyway." solemnly took another sip of tea, blinked his eyes, his long eyelashes swayed, looked at the boy, and said. "I hope you can go and see her, after all, it is easy to talk to peers, and I may not be able to listen to Ning Xin if I interfere."
Bai Hao nodded, but he was a little strange in his heart why Lao Ban would give him this task to do, he was obviously not very familiar with Ning Xin...
As if she saw through what the boy was thinking, she smiled solemnly and lightly, and said, "You and Ning Xin are friends, not only you, but everyone else must also be good friends with her, even if she doesn't want to say it, she definitely hopes that someone can comfort her." ”
Then he patted Bai Hao's shoulder and looked at him with deep meaning. "Come on, come to me if you have any questions, and I will try my best to help you."
Seeing that the boy in front of him slowly raised his head, his eyes looked at her brightly, and his mouth opened, as if he was about to say something in response, solemnly felt very relieved.
"Teacher, you know us so well, it seems that you have a lot of experience in raising children."
Ah, the solemn face instantly turned red, and he was a little overwhelmed.
"You... Don't talk nonsense, I, I'm not married, although I really want to have children, but..."
Suddenly caught a glimpse of Bai Hao's snickering expression, solemnly understood that he was making fun of her, his chest rose and fell sharply, and he quickly took a deep breath and said with a tense face.
"I'll get carried away if I progress this time, don't you, next time if you can't retreat, I won't be so easy to talk to."
"Okay, teacher, I'll do my best." Bai Hao hurriedly held back his laughter and quickly ran out.
Whew, seeing the back of the boy leaving, solemnly and hurriedly breathed a sigh of relief, patted his chest, and muttered.
"I was almost tricked by this kid, but I'm looking forward to whether I can do it......
......
As soon as he came back from the office, Bai Hao saw Liu Ze, He Xiaoye and Zhen Tian standing in Ning Xin's seat, their expressions very worried.
"What's going on?"
Bai Hao returned to his seat and asked behind Ning Xin's seat.
"It's not like Ning Xin hasn't been here for a day, everyone is worried about her." Zhu Tianyi said in a low tone.
"Yes, Master, Ning Xin hasn't come back since she was picked up by her mother yesterday, and I don't know what's wrong."
Zhen Tian pouted and said.
"Master?!" Liu Ze and He Xiao also asked in surprise,
"I haven't told you yet, I already think of Bai Hao as my literature teacher, and I hope he can teach me how to write poetry or something." Zhen Tian turned his head to look at them and explained.
Bai Hao grinned, feeling a little embarrassed, not knowing what to say, Zhu Tianyi next to him made a hateful voice.
"Oh." Liu Ze looked at Bai Hao thoughtfully, with a suddenly realized expression, and then sighed. "What's wrong with Ning Xin, he didn't come without saying a word."
"I didn't reply to my messages with her, and I've never seen her like this." He Xiaoye frowned and added on the side.
Bai Hao looked at their worried expressions, pursed his lips, hesitated, struggled a little, and then took a deep breath and said.
"Just now in the office, the old class told me about Ningxin's situation......
After explaining the situation to them, Bai Hao seemed to be relieved, and then everyone was silent, and they couldn't help but be a little nervous.
"If it's not late for self-study, let's take leave to go to Ning Xin's house to have a look, I'm a little worried."
Zhen Tian broke the silence and said softly.
"But can I take a leave of absence? The old class is very strict about this, and it has just finished the exam, so I don't know if it can be done. Liu Ze frowned, very uneasy.
Bai Hao hesitated, rubbed his thumb against his palm, saw everyone's worried looks, bit his tongue, remembered what Lao Ban had said, and said.
"I will definitely be able to ask for leave, since the old class told me about this, I must hope that we can help Ning Xin."
Everyone else looked at Shiro, but the boy didn't avoid their eyes this time, and his eyes looked back at them.
Zhen Tian looked at the boy's eyes, stunned, and then the corners of his mouth lifted lightly, and said.
"I believe what Master said, and I also believe that the old class will definitely approve it."
"Well, let's just say it." Liu Ze's eyes flickered, staring at Bai Hao's eyes away, and said to the others. "After a while, we will go to the old class to ask for leave, explain the real situation, and see what the old class says."
Everyone nodded.
