Fang Xiqiao stood on the balcony, his hands propped up on the relief railing, his eyes always fixed on the front, there were two people in front of him, but his eyes only fell on the woman.

Looking at the woman in the distance, his thoughts were brought back to the day he left his first university, when the woman sat on a bench outside the teaching building, and the bench was shrouded in the shade of the trees, and the light and shadow between the branches fell on her in a scattered manner, she sat very dignified, and her hands were folded on her legs, as if she were the standard beauty of the eighties and nineties.

At that time, a glance was a thousand years.

And today, there is no light and shadow falling on her, she is sheltered in the shadow by the shed above, sitting on a retro white iron-framed chair, wearing a dress that really belongs to the seventies and eighties, she is no longer the same, she is the standard beauty who has crossed over from that era today.

"Don't look at it, come and play a game of chess with me, an old man, and when the chess is over, the interview will be over." Seeing that Fang Xiqiao's nerves had been tense, Professor Hu walked over with a chessboard and a chess box, "Then Reporter Liu won't be embarrassed by Miss Yan." ”

Fang Xiqiao walked over quickly, took the heavy chessboard with both hands, turned around and put it on the table, and took two boxes of chess pieces and put them on the table, but he was still not at ease in his words: "Although I have only been in Wutong City for more than a year, I have also heard of the name of that Liu Feng, and I can make up anything in order to attract people's attention." ”

Professor Hu stepped forward and patted Fang Xiqiao's shoulder, and after motioning for Fang Xiqiao to sit down, he also went around to the other side to sit: "Then you may not know that Reporter Liu's wife committed suicide five years ago because of online violence, and after his wife committed suicide, he also changed, and the style of the article became gentle, most of the time he was reporting on the current situation of some stray animals and elderly people living alone, and this matter was talked about by everyone in Wutong City." ”

"Nantong Daily has a heart." Fang Xiqiao pulled out a chair and sat down, only people who have suffered the same pain can empathize, although Liu Feng has not suffered from online violence, but has experienced the suicide of his loved one due to online violence, so Nantong Daily sent Liu Feng to interview, it can be seen that their minds are very delicate.

Professor Hu laughed, stretched out his hand and put a white piece on the chessboard: "Quickly, it's your turn, Miss Yan's interview, but please ask me, an old man, to help you relax and relax your nerves." ”

Fang Xiqiao took a box of black chess pieces in front of him, took a chess piece out of the chess box and fell down directly, then turned his head to look at the garden through the balcony, and smiled helplessly at the woman, helpless and regretful.

An old man and a young man on the balcony were engaged in a gentle fight on the chessboard, and the men and women on the other side of the garden had already finished talking, each got up, shook hands and walked side by side to the house, there was no unpleasantness on the faces of the two after talking, Yan Yue still had that indifferent expression, but Liu Feng's expression was a little heavy, but he still adhered to his professionalism and still maintained the state when he was working.

He misunderstood his wife for five years, resented why his wife chose to commit suicide, and resented why his wife didn't think about him, their children, and the piano she loved when she committed suicide.

But today here in Yan Yue, he got the answer, his wife must want to live, want to continue to play the piano, and want to continue to accompany him and the child, so she will persist for a year.

It's not her who is at fault, it's the perpetrators, it's him.

"I lost." Fang Xiqiao held a chess piece in his hand and did not fall, just glanced at the chessboard and said this.

Professor Hu took out an old-fashioned pocket watch from his coat pocket, looked at the time on it and smiled: "It's only ten minutes, but we can fight for half an hour." ”

Fang Xiqiao picked up the sunspots on the chessboard and put them into the wooden chess box, and the sound of the chess pieces falling on the wood was not harsh: "There are only two explanations, either Professor Hu's chess skills have improved to the next level, or my chess skills have regressed." ”

"Let's go to the living room, Miss Yan, they should finish the interview." Professor Hu put the pocket watch back in his pocket and stood up on the table, how could he not know that Fang Xiqiao had deliberately lost, because the two people from the garden in front got up and walked into the house, "Professor Fang wants to accompany Miss Yan more, and when the interview goes out, the dark clouds will disperse." ”

Fang Xiqiao then got up and followed behind Professor Hu, responding with "yes", but he also knew that the dark clouds in the sky were easy to disperse, and the dark clouds in this world may not be easy to disperse.

As soon as the two arrived in the living room, they saw Liu Feng about to leave, but when they heard footsteps, he suddenly stopped and walked towards this side: "Hello Mr. Fang, hello Professor Hu." ”

"Hello Reporter Liu." Professor Hu laughed heartily, and as a junior, Fang Xiqiao just smiled and nodded, and as an elder and master, Professor Hu spoke, "I've always heard of your name. ”

The look on Liu Feng's face froze slightly, because the reason why Professor Hu had heard of his name was because he had previously written an article questioning hybrid rice, which misled many netizens to attack the academician, that is, Professor Hu's old buddy.

"I wonder if Professor Hu can be interviewed?" Liu Feng could only bow his head to avoid the embarrassing words, "I want to interview Miss Yan about it, and we can send it out together tomorrow." ”

Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Professor Hu began to laugh again: "Naturally, you can, go and sit on the sofa in the living room." ”

After a few people sat down, Professor Hu looked at the restless Fang Xiqiao and asked Liu Feng with a smile: "Reporter Liu, where did my wife and Miss Yan go?" ”

"Oh, Mrs. Hu and Miss Yan went to the garden to harvest dried vegetables." Liu Feng took out a notebook, a pen, and a voice recorder from the briefcase he was carrying.

Professor Hu patted Fang Xiqiao's arm to reassure him, but Fang Xiqiao was still not at ease, got up and apologized, and then got up and walked to the garden.

Liu Feng and Professor Hu looked at each other and smiled, probably seeing their own shadows on Fang Xiqiao's body, and he couldn't let his lover leave his sight for half a moment, and after laughing, he immediately entered the state of a reporter again: "May I ask Professor Hu did you know Miss Yan before?" ”

"Miss Yan and I just met today, and she is the girlfriend of my professor at the same school... It should be a fiancée. Professor Hu couldn't stand such an interview, so he couldn't help but pick up a newspaper, put on reading glasses to read, and showed the characteristics of an old man with a mouth, and couldn't stop saying, "But I like this girl at first sight, the temperament on her body is too much like a lady from a petty bourgeois family at that time, similar to when my wife was young, my wife is a lady from a petty bourgeois family, but my wife is not squeamish from a petty bourgeois family." ”

Liu Feng smiled politely, and then brought the interview back on track: "Then why did Professor Hu help Miss Yan?" ”

Professor Hu seemed to be a little incomprehensible, glanced up at Liu Feng, and then shook the newspaper in his hand: "First of all, regardless of whether Miss Yan really abandoned her father, this matter is always a personal matter, and the twists and turns are not something we can know, and no matter how bad the judge is, my old man just can't get used to this phenomenon of online violence." ”

Liu Feng gasped, and the guilt on his face deepened.

"Judges have to investigate multiple parties to decide a case, and listen to the evidence, what kind of ability do they have? Yes? Professor Hu's emotions were a little more excited, "Moreover, Miss Yan is enthusiastic about public welfare, I believe that the girl who has been doing public welfare for nine years will never be the kind of person who ruthlessly abandons her father, it must be her father who has done something immoral!" ”

Liu Feng's eyes lit up: "Do public welfare? ”

At this time, there were also three people standing outside the door leading to the garden, Fang Xiqiao, Yan Yue and Madame Hu.

Yan Yue frowned slightly, a little puzzled; Fang Xiqiao wanted to hear Professor Hu continue, because he didn't know about it; Mrs. Hu pursed her lips and smiled, as if she knew about it.

"That's not it." Professor Hu's face was full of pride, as if he was praising his own children, "My colleagues and I used the prize money from the research to set up a Wutong City Public Welfare Fund, specifically to help the disadvantaged groups in the society, every month Miss Yan will regularly send money over, if there are old clothes will also be sent, at first only a few hundred, but will also write a letter to explain that she is a sophomore, limited ability, I hope to understand." ”

Yan Yue let out a sigh, as if she had figured out the doubts in her heart, it turned out that Professor Hu was the founder of the public welfare foundation.

Professor Hu continued: "One year later, when she was in her senior year, a letter of only a dozen words suddenly came, saying that she had encountered challenges in her life and needed to solve them, and that she would support public welfare in the future. ”

"Within two years, we received a few thousand dollars and old clothes from her, saying that she had completed the challenges given by life, was already working, and now she was coming back to help others complete the challenges of life, and she didn't break it every month."

Fang Xiqiao reached out and touched Yan Yue's head, it turned out that the person he loved was warmer and more positive than he imagined, but this also made him feel more distressed.

"Although she doesn't send as much money as others every month, not 120,000, but I have never seen anyone who has been doing public welfare for nine consecutive years, most of them are direct transfers once or twice and then don't continue, of course, I am not criticizing those people, I am very grateful to all those who do public welfare."

Professor Hu is terrible about these reporters, if he doesn't make it clear, I don't know what will happen when the report goes out: "Because she has been doing public welfare all year round, we went to apply for an honorary public welfare medal from the mayor of Wutong City, and wanted her to come to participate in the press conference of Wutong City's awards, but she wrote to say that doing public welfare is to warm the society, not for the sake of fame, saying that she is not in Wutong City, let us do public welfare with the bonus." ”

"Did Professor Hu know that it was Miss Yan from the beginning?" Liu Feng finally found an opportunity to speak in Professor Hu's eloquent conversation.

Hu Jiao shook his head: "I don't know, she didn't write her name, and her signature is 'A Crooked Moon'." ”

Liu Feng continued to ask: "When did Professor Hu know about it, or did he only know it today?" ”

"Then I already knew." Professor Hu is very proud of this matter, "I am a curious old man, I was determined to find out who this person is, so I searched for the location of the letter, and then found her university school, and after several twists and turns, I knew that it was a little girl named Yan Yue, but I didn't continue to look for it later, people didn't want us to know, so we pretended not to know, but I watched TV more than ten days ago, only to find out that this girl was on TV." ”

Madame Hu pursed her lips and smiled, she knew about this with Professor Hu, and at that time she only thought that the young people of contemporary China were no worse than the previous people, or even better.

"It's okay to say I'm confused, it's okay to say that I like it, anyway, I don't believe that such a girl can do such a thing, there must be cause and effect." Professor Hu sighed, "Reporter Liu, can you do public welfare for nine years?" Can those netizens? ”

Professor Hu finally threw out a sentence, which made Liu Feng completely speechless, because he couldn't do it, the things in work and life were enough to make him dizzy, how could he remember to send money to do public welfare every month, and those netizens couldn't do it, if those netizens could do a real good deed every month, they wouldn't be full of anger.

After Liu Feng shook his head with a smile, he also took the opportunity to end the interview, before he left, Yan Yue specially chased him outside the door and asked him not to report Professor Hu's interview and name, because she was afraid that even Professor Hu would be given flesh by those netizens, Professor Hu is a person who has contributed to the country, and he should not wade for her.

After Liu Feng hesitated, he nodded and agreed, after all, no one knows whether tomorrow's report will bring dawn or a greater disaster.
