After a while, Liu Xiyue sobbed and whispered:

"Don't you ignore me? Why are you bothering me again? ”

"Of course I don't care about you, now it's the ninety-fifth class teacher who cares about you."

Liu Xiyue cried loudly when she heard this. Gao Wutong hugged her tightly.

"Don't worry, I will take care of you, I will take care of you for the rest of my life, as long as I am here, I will protect you if I sacrifice my life. There is no one here, have a good cry, and after crying, you can't shed any more tears. ”

Liu Xiyue sobbed and cried for a few more minutes. Gao Wutong let go of his hand and took out a few tissues, and Liu Xiyue took one and wiped her tears. Gao Wutong picked up the water cup on the ground, wiped the soil stuck to it with a paper towel, opened the lid and handed it to her.

"Take a drink and relax."

Liu Xiyue drank a few sips of water, and her pale face improved a lot. Gao Wutong helped her wipe her cheeks with a tissue, took her hand and walked back, and saw that there was no one in the small pavilion just now, so they went in and sat down together. Liu Xiyue opened her backpack, took out a bag of hawthorn slices and a bag of dried plums and handed them to Gao Wutong.

"I don't want to eat now, you eat more."

Gao Wutong smiled, tore open the bag, took a piece of hawthorn and handed it to Liu Xiyue's mouth.

"If you don't eat something, I won't eat either."

Liu Xiyue opened her mouth and chewed it, and took another slice with her hand. Gao Wutong ate a few pieces of hawthorn and pointed to Liu Xiyue's backpack.

"There's something delicious for me, take it out."

"I won't miss you!"

"I think of someone, and I am happy when I think of her. Do you want to know who it is? ”

"I don't care who you're thinking!"

"Okay, I'm going to empathize and say goodbye."

"I didn't hear you clearly, you say it again."

"I only have Yue'er in my heart, and I am very happy when I think of her."

"I heard it clearly this time."

Gao Wutong tore open the plum bag and handed it to Liu Xiyue, who grabbed a few and put them in her mouth. One fell through his fingers and tumbled down next to a ham sausage. Liu Xiyue saw that it was the one she knocked off from Gao Wutong's hands. Gao Wutong smiled meaningfully.

"You two are really good friends!"

"I'm not a plum!"

"Umeko has a lot of advantages, not only can she sing, but she can also say 'I'm sorry'."

Liu Xiyue pouted and smiled faintly.

"Got it, Mr. Gao."

The two walked out of the small pavilion, and Liu Xiyue went to pull Gao Wutong's hand again. Gao Wutong avoided smiling.

"There are too many people on the road, and it's safe."

Liu Xiyue slapped Gao Wutong's arm and complained:

"You're so bold and cowardly!"

Not long after the two walked on the road, Zhu Geqi, Liang Qingfeng and several other classmates caught up. Liu Xiyue quietly melted into a few people and left Gao Wutong.

On the bus back to school, Gao Wutong saw Liu Xiyue and Lan Lingmei standing together, talking and laughing, as if nothing had happened, so he was completely relieved.

On Wednesday morning of the second week, after the last class ended, Gao Wutong lowered his head to pack up the lesson plans and organize the homework book, and nodded from time to time to the students who passed by the podium and said "goodbye teacher". He packed his things and saw that Liu Xiyue and Lan Lingmei were still sitting and didn't leave. Gao Wutong walked over and said with a smile:

"Listen to it or don't have money to eat?"

"Teacher Gao, how can I thank you?"

Gao Wutong saw Lan Lingmei's solemn appearance, thought about it and said:

"Three things to remember. The first point is to pay more attention to safety in the future and not to trust others too easily. In case of danger, you should be calm and calm, don't panic, 'choose the lesser of two evils', adapt to the situation, it doesn't matter if you suffer a little loss when you can't do it, there is a way to think about it when you live. ”

"Teacher Gao, you don't seem to be afraid."

Lan Lingmei's face was full of admiration. Gao Wutong shook his head and smiled faintly.

"I'm going to be scared, too. That day, I dragged you to run quickly, because I was afraid that they would have helpers, and that they would have knives and sticks. Seeing that you are in danger, I am actually more afraid than you, afraid that you will be harmed, but I have no choice. ”

"Teacher Gao, you've fought before."

"When I played football, I played a few times in my first and second years of college because of the malicious collision, and then I changed my ways. Also because of the fight, I have practiced Sanda, Xingyi Boxing and Chen's Taijiquan with others, although they are all half a bottle of vinegar, but I can still bite like a rabbit when I am in a hurry. ”

"I usually look at you Sven, but you don't have any softness when you fight."

"For your sake, killing those two pieces of garbage won't be a hate."

"Mainly for the person next to me!"

"The main thing is that the weight is different."

Liu Xiyue glared at Gao Wutong.

"Chinese teacher, please pay attention to the words."

"Got it, Liu Xiyue."

"What about the second point?"

"Forget about it, don't say anything like thanks."

"The third point?"

"Go to dinner."

"Nothing?"

"Since you ask, I'll give you a little more."

"Please."

"Nails are often cut."

"Thanks for the reminder. But I'm going to keep the bad guys. ”

Lan Lingmei smiled and pushed Liu Xiyue.

"You have pinched the bad guys away, and if you meet the good guys again, who will save you?"

"Your question is too difficult, the teacher is in front of you, you ask the teacher."

"It's better to save some strength to eat."

Gao Wutong returned to the lectern to get the briefcase and homework book. When Liu Xiyue passed by the podium, one hand was clenched in the shape of a claw, scratched at Gao Wutong, and left with a smile. Gao Wutong smiled with satisfaction.

Outside the window of Gao Wutong's writing desk is an abandoned deserted temple courtyard, formerly known as Wenchang Palace, after being destroyed by the war, there is no incense, only the old vicissitudes and deep are left. Year after year, the small pond in the courtyard is sometimes full and shallow, and the ginkgo trees, magnolias, spring flowers on the rockery in the small pond, and dandelions on the grass rise and fall with the seasons, and it seems that no one needs to take care of them. Once Liu Xiyue asked Gao Wutong the name of the courtyard, Gao Wutong casually said that it was called the Waste Garden. Since then, the two have called it the Abandoned Garden.

On a Saturday afternoon in late April, when Gao Wutong was copying Liu Gongquan's calligraphy, two small birds landed on the outer windowsill, chirping crisply, and jumping up and down in search of food. After a while, Gao Wutong turned her head to look at Liu Xiyue next to her, and saw that she was flipping through the "Leaf Collection" with a calm face as if she hadn't heard the birdsong. Usually, whenever the birds came, she would scatter wheat on the windowsill and watch the birds peck.

Gao Wutong got up and sprinkled some wheat on the outside windowsill.

"Yue'er, the little bird is coming for you."

"Which sycamore leaves?"

Every time they went out to play, they would pick a leaf, put it in a booklet and bring it back to the courtyard, put it in a thick ancient Chinese dictionary and press it for a few days, and then fix it on a thickened loose-leaf paper with thread or glue, write the time and place, sign the names of the two people, and put it in a loose-leaf folder in chronological order. In addition, every time the season changes, they will also go to pick leaves as a souvenir.

"That day, a college classmate brought a few cigars and said that it tasted good to light them with firewood, and if he couldn't find them, he lit the leaves with matches, and then lit the cigars with the leaves, and used up those sycamore leaves."

"Excellent! Burn them all. ”
