When Lin Qingrou heard him say this, her heart tightened, but after thinking that every time she returned there, it would only bring embarrassment and pain to herself, so it was better not to go, so she nodded at Du Zeming.

Du Zeming stood at the door of the room and looked at her quietly for a while.

Being stared at by him like this, Lin Qingrou was a little cramped and uneasy, holding the corner of her clothes with her right hand, not daring to look at Du Zeming.

Du Zeming looked at it for a while before turning around and leaving, leaving no words.

Lin Qingrou breathed a sigh of relief and stepped forward to close the door of the room.

The next morning, although it was a weekend, Lin Qingrou still took the time to go to school.

"Leave?" The headmaster frowned and looked at the leave slip in her hand. "It's not that I won't give you leave, Qingrou, you calculate how many days you've been at work this month?"

Lin Qingrou saw the principal's attitude and hurriedly wanted to explain in sign language, but the principal hurriedly waved his hand.

"You don't have to explain this and that reason to me, I know that there are many rights and wrongs for famous families like you, but Qingrou, you also have to remember that we are an ordinary school for the deaf and dumb, and the teachers for each semester are fixed, so you can't always find someone else to help you substitute for you, right? It's not your own class, it has nothing to do with your own performance appraisal, you know, it's very bad for our teaching management. The headmaster said in a seemingly serious tone, "What a nice thing you said when you first came to us, in order to be able to give those deaf and dumb children a little light and a future." But now, explain this and that to me, ask for leave at every turn, and have emotional conflicts with your colleagues, this is the example and future you make for your children? ”

Lin Qingrou was originally a little ashamed, but she keenly noticed that the principal shook her tongue emphatically when she said that she had a conflict with her colleagues.

Although she is not too sensitive, it seems that after the conflict between her and Chen Fengling has come to light, the principal's attitude towards her is much worse than before.

"I know, I'm sorry, I'll try my best to take care of my personal affairs during the holidays, and I will definitely not take any more leave after next week."

She gestured to the principal and repeatedly reassured him, and the principal waved his hand: "Okay, you just need to know it yourself." ”

didn't say that it was not allowed to leave, so Lin Qingrou walked out.

Lin Qingrou went out a little embarrassed, and when she walked to the office, she suddenly remembered that her handbag was still thrown in the principal's office, and she could only walk back to the principal's office helplessly.

As soon as he approached the door, he heard the principal's laughter inside: "Haha, what can I do?" Her husband is too big, I can only talk about her. ”

Lin Qingrou was just about to knock on the door when she heard the principal continue.

"Don't worry, what is she Lin Qingrou, I have already inquired, Du Zeming didn't take her as a mute woman in his eyes at all, I heard that at the charity banquet in the north of the city last time, he brought another woman to appear, and the marriage is just what everyone means, so there is no need to be afraid of her at all."

Lin Qingrou's hand that originally wanted to knock on the door suddenly retracted, hung down a little weakly, slowly walked over and leaned against the wall, looking up at the window of the corridor.

"Now that she's in our hands, isn't it how we can bully us? Don't worry, if she is really so important to Du Zeming, how can she come to our school to work? It is estimated that she didn't sleep with Du Zeming, and she rented a house outside, and no one might remember who she was. ”

I don't know who the principal is talking to, but it doesn't matter who it is.

She always thought that the principal, who was kind and kind-eyed and would really think about the deaf and mute, actually said such utilitarian and ugly words, and secretly felt sorry for her behind her back.

After a long while, the laughter inside stopped, and Lin Qingrou breathed a sigh of relief, and stood outside for a few minutes before knocking on the door.

"Please come in." The headmaster's voice returned to its original calmness, completely devoid of the frivolity of the phone call just now.

She walked in and picked up her handbag and left, not even wanting to make extra movements, and she didn't care about the headmaster's expression.

When she left the school gate, she breathed a sigh of relief, and the depressed feeling in the school just now was much better. The wind outside was still a little strong, and the corners of her skirt swayed slightly.

For the first time, she was so confused, about the future, about herself, about the world.

When she looked at the sky and was stunned, she was suddenly stopped.

"Qingrou? Why are you here? Zhou Rui seemed to have just run over from outside, with a little blush on his face and panting.

"I'm here to ask for leave, and I probably won't be able to come to class next week."

Zhou Rui immediately asked a little nervously, "Is something wrong?" Two days ago, someone called me and asked if I had seen you, and it scared me. ”

Lin Qingrou smiled at him, and suddenly felt a little sad, Zhou Rui is really a very good person, like a gentle brother next door, if he hadn't experienced so many things and didn't have so many fates behind him, what he liked must be such a gentle and lovely boy.

"Actually, I really have something to do in the past two days, and the health of the elderly at home is not very good, so I run around the school and the hospital every day, and I haven't had too much time to care about you recently, how about it? How are you doing? Zhou Rui looked at her face and asked with some concern.

Lin Qingrou smiled and nodded, her face already showed a little intention of wanting to leave, but Zhou Rui rarely met her, and he didn't want to let her go so soon.

"I was really embarrassed about the previous things, I think I can't do it anymore, I also know that you have your own difficulties, and many things are not something we can say......" Zhou Rui said later, his voice slowly lowered, and finally showed a somewhat self-deprecating smile, "I'm sorry, I talked too much, where are you going?" Why don't I send you? ”

"No need, I'll go home." Lin Qingrou gestured, declined Zhou Rui's kindness, thought about it and then asked, "What are you going to do after the internship period is over?" ”

Zhou Rui scratched the back of his head: "I originally planned to stay in school, but now the situation at home is a little complicated, and there may be no way to continue teaching in the school, so let's take one step at a time." ”

Zhou Rui and Lin Qingrou have been colleagues for a while, but Zhou Rui basically never mentioned his family, so Lin Qingrou doesn't know what the situation is in his family, but every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, and she is not a person who is too gossipy, if Zhou Rui doesn't say it, she won't ask.

The two of them exchanged two more words, and Lin Qingrou left.

When she walked around the corner, she glanced back, but found that Zhou Rui was still standing at the door, looking at her side in a daze, her heart tightened, and she hurriedly lowered her head and walked past the corner.

After making an appointment with Song Miao for dinner at noon, the two of them went straight to the hospital in the afternoon to prepare for the "operation".

Because the last time they met Du Zeming and Jiang He, Lin Qingrou was a little ashamed to see Jiang He, but when they met again, Jiang He didn't have any extra expressions, as if he and Lin Qingrou were just ordinary friends who hadn't seen each other for a few days.

"Don't worry, this hospital is a central hospital, although it has the brand of our city, it is directly subordinate to the medical colleges in the province, so even if the people in the city are powerful, they can't reach in." The obstetrician and gynecologist sitting next to him saw that Lin Qingrou was a little worried, and comforted, "Basically, many ordinary people like to come to us for treatment, because most of us here are interns, and the fees are in accordance with national standards, and there is no problem of deliberate deductions." ”

Hearing him say this, Lin Qingrou was also a little relieved, but a trace of doubt quickly flashed in her heart, if most of this hospital were interns, then Fang Jiawen said last time that she shouldn't come here for an examination, obviously Du Zeming has a good relationship with several other hospitals, and he can get better service and examination results in other hospitals.

This thought flashed through her mind, and she didn't bother to think carefully about why.

"After a while, I will directly arrange a ward for you, you can lie on the ward for a week, your body and bones are not good, just take a good rest in the past few days, I will prescribe you a little more tonics."

Lin Qingrou smiled and nodded at the doctor, the doctor patted Jiang He on the shoulder, and Jiang He went out with him, thinking that he was going to get medicine.

"You just have a good rest, take advantage of these few days to enjoy a rare leisure time, the future days will be difficult." Song Miao sat beside her, held her hand and said.

Song Mian's hands were warm, with the temperature of the sun.

Lin Qingrou also smiled and nodded at her.

When Du Zeming received Lin Qingrou's news and rushed to the hospital, the "operation" had already ended, and Lin Qingrou was lying on the hospital bed reading a book.

"The patient's family, right? This is the case book, and the taboos of the past few days are also on it, so you must remember to take a look, and the patient's physical condition is already very unoptimistic, so you must be careful and cautious. The nurse said expressionlessly.

Du Zeming looked at the case book, then at Lin Qingrou who was lying on the hospital bed, and nodded.

"Are you feeling okay?" After the nurse left, Du Zeming sat on the chair next to the bed, looked at Lin Qingrou and asked.

Lin Qingrou nodded lightly.

Du Zeming sighed: "I was supposed to accompany you, but the company really couldn't leave." ”

Lin Qingrou lowered her head and stared at the book in her hand and stopped talking.

"By the way, I have signed a contract with the Lin Group, and Lin Qinghe has recently made a few projects, which look pretty good." Du Zeming put his hand on the bedside table and said without a moment.

Lin Qingrou looked up at him in surprise, trying to see some clues from his face.

Du Zeming also knew what she meant, and chuckled.
