( ) Lin Fan's father didn't really want to participate in our investigation, he was just a pretense, a pretext that allowed me to investigate freely in school, although the college entrance examination was over, but another equally important work was also being carried out intensively

I don't care which university Lin Fan wants to go to, with the results I gave him, it is estimated that the worst university may not want him, and his failure is a foregone conclusion, but with the financial resources of the Lin family, it should not be a problem to send him to a similar university and let him continue to mix for four years

How to fill in the specific volunteers, that is Lin Fan's father and the teachers, I went to find Li Manqiu, who was in a trance, to understand the situation

Yesterday, Li Manqiu returned to her home directly after leaving the Lin family, and then she was bored at home until this morning, and she didn't go out until work time this morning

Early this morning, Chang Le also followed Li Manqiu to the school, and then easily blended into the school, and joined me and Qiao Wei

Every year at this time, the school will become very lively, no matter how busy parents will come to the school, so Qiao Wei and Chang Le will not attract too many people's attention when they appear in the school, but Li Manqiu and I have become the focus of everyone's attention

There's nothing strange about that

Li Manqiu was still a beautiful woman in her prime, and she became old and yellow overnight, and similar strange things happened to fat students like Lin Fan

In order to avoid those curious eyes, I asked Li Manqiu to go to the playground after I came to school, in fact, I wanted to change the environment and talk to her, Li Manqiu did not refuse, it seems that she is also tired of those unfriendly eyes in the office

There is a small forest on the north side of the school's playground, and there is a small pavilion in the forest, and there is a rockery pond next to the pavilion, which I used as a place for me to talk with Li Manqiu

After I struggled into the gazebo, I sat down on the chair inside, and asked Li Manqiu how he was doing yesterday

Li Manqiu shook his head gloomily, "It's not good, it's terrible."

"I can understand that I lost three years of my time, and I am afraid that no one can accept it right away, and the eyes of those people in the office may also make you feel annoying," I said

"Well, a lot of people ask me what's going on, how did I change so much, I really don't know where I've changed...... No, I know, I've changed a lot, I've looked at the pictures I've taken in the last few years, the person is really beautiful, I've dreamed like that, but that's not me, it's not even the person I was when I was younger."

Li Manqiu's words made me very concerned

"You said it wasn't you when you were younger," I asked

"Well, no, although many years have passed, I still won't forget what I looked like when I was 20 years old, and I have photos of my youth, and I have changed a lot in the past two years or so, and I have become what I dreamed of, I may have lived a very happy life, but I can't remember anything."

The more Li Manqiu spoke, the more he lost his tears, and even began to slide out of the corners of his eyes

I didn't try to comfort Li Manqiu, because what I was thinking about now was how to connect Li Manqiu with the teaching director who had beaten people before

When I came to school this morning, I heard rumors in the school that the dean had woken up, but he didn't remember what he had done, and he didn't even know why he was in school, let alone why he was beaten

Normally, a situation like the dean of education should make people think that he was stunned and lost his memory, and the rumors of the students' ghost possession are just a rumor, but in my opinion, the behavior of the dean and Li Manqiu is very similar

Both of them did something that hurt the student or hurt themselves, and both of them lost their memories afterwards

Li Manqiu said that she had become what she was in her dreams, so did the teaching director dream every day that she could happily teach this group of disobedient rich children with no one in their eyes?

Another person who has to make me think deeply is Lin Fan

What is his dream?

I was looking for something relevant in Lin Fan's memory, but the part about "dreams" seemed to have become a blank area, I don't know if he didn't have dreams at all, or if this part of his memory was lost or locked, in short, I didn't find the dream in his memory

But I know very well that Lin Fan likes to be thin, and he also likes to have such a beautiful woman as Li Manqiu by his side, until Li Manqiu proposed to be with Lin Fan's father, Lin Fan has always been very happy, very happy, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he has been living in a world as beautiful as a dream

If the person who heard Li Manqiu's words yesterday was Lin Fan instead of me, what would the result be

Maybe Lin Fan will gladly accept everything, while letting Li Manqiu play the role of his stepmother in front of everyone, and at the same time playing heavy taboo play with his stepmother in the back of the people

"What is your dream, do you want to be young and beautiful?" I asked Manqiudao

"No, how can this be ......" Li Manqiu smiled and wanted to deny it, she stopped halfway through the words, and then the smile was also put away by her, "I really want to become a young woman, as soon as I reach my age, I really feel old all of a sudden, what woman is not like turning back to 18 years old, when she is the most glamorous, but she may not be my dream."

"Then your dream is to become Mrs. Kuo, eat and drink without worry, don't have to stay with these difficult children every day, and be angry with the leader every day"

Li Manqiu was stunned by my question, and then looked at me in surprise

"It's me who said it wrong," I asked directly without avoiding Li Manqiu's gaze

"I ...... I did think so," Li Manqiu admitted in a very small voice

I smiled at her, "Actually, to be honest, there is nothing bad about the big truth, just leave it to those educators and thinkers to say, there is nothing wrong with the prosperity that ordinary people like us want to live, and say that who have you told these little 'dreams' of yours, such as a student in school, or made a wish to something like a Buddha statue?"

"It doesn't seem to be, how can I be embarrassed to say this kind of thing, when I was young, I was really like a broad wife, but I got older and older, and I was unwilling to find a mediocre person, but now I am forty years old and not married, hey, I feel ashamed to say this."

"Then why are you willing to tell me this," I continued

"This ...... I...... I don't know, I just feel very close to you."

"It's because I'm fat, I have low self-esteem, and no one is willing to deal with me at school, don't you have any friends, do you think it's natural to talk to someone like me who is not as good as you, right?"

"......," Li Manqiu opened and closed her lips a few times, but she didn't say a word, but her expression already told me the answer, I guessed right

Li Manqiu didn't mention what she wanted to anyone because it was too embarrassing; The dean of students would not tell anyone that he wanted to hit a student, which would ruin his future; Lin Fan has blind spots in his memory, but I believe he will not tell anyone that he wants to find a woman, and he even recruits prostitutes in Thailand, he definitely doesn't want anyone to know

If these things are the dreams of the three of them, then their dreams have come true, but who is realizing their dreams, is there anyone else in the school who has realized their dreams, and the question is in the school or someone in the school

"By the way, Mr. Li, you've been working in this school for a few years," I asked in a different direction

"If you don't count the three years when I lost my memory, it should be ten years."

"What do you remember about anything strange happening in school in the 10 years, like someone suddenly going crazy and then having amnesia or something," I asked

"Well......" Li Manqiu responded with some hesitation, and then said while shaking his head lightly: "I'm not sure if this is a strange thing, when I first came to work in this school, I heard that the school is a bit chaotic, for example, students look down on teachers very much, there will be teachers who are surrounded by students looking for people to beat up, and I heard that some students drop out of school to rob, and every year, students or teachers jump off the building."

"Yes, but according to my investigation, it seems that there is no negative news about the school, and there are no dead people or anything."

"That's for sure, some things are things that parents don't want to let things be exposed, and some things are things that the school itself doesn't want to publicize, after all, the students who come here to go to school have some backgrounds in their families, hey, how can I talk to you about these topics, we still ......."

"No, it's very interesting to talk about it, and I want to ask some ......."

This time, the person who stopped in the middle of the conversation was replaced by me, because I suddenly noticed that there were four male students walking towards the pavilion, and the eyes of the four of them were all staring straight at me, and there was no trace of brilliance in their eyes, as if their souls had been hollowed out and turned into puppets of ** control

"Qiao Wei Changle" also shouted after noticing these four people

Lin Fan's body is a burden to me, but his loud voice is a good thing for me, my shout can almost be transmitted to the other side of the sports field, Qiao Wei and Chang Le, who are hiding less than 50 meters away from me, can naturally hear it clearly, and they also appeared from the bushes for the first time

At the same time as they appeared, the four students suddenly fell into a trance, and then the four of them looked at each other strangely, as if they didn't understand why they were here

I quickly got up and walked out of the pavilion and shouted at the four of them, "You four come here, I'll ask you something."
