Shen Youyi watched the video on Cheng Mo's phone several times over and over again, and asked with a somewhat solemn face, "Where did you get this video?"

Cheng Mo didn't answer immediately, but pretended to be unsure and asked, "Is this really Shen Mengjie?"

Shen Youyi hesitated, frowned and said, "It's Xiaojie, but how could she go to that kind of place?" No, I have to call my uncle and aunt immediately.....

"Teacher Shen....." Cheng Mo hurriedly pressed Shen Youyi's hand to hold the mobile phone, and said in a slurred voice: "I know a little reason, I don't think you should be in a hurry to tell her parents." ”

Shen Youyi turned her head to look at Cheng Mo and didn't speak, but there was an unbelievable sadness in her expression, obviously she still couldn't accept her cousin doing this kind of thing.

"The video was given to me by a friend of mine, who is also from our school, but he graduated from high school this year, and the place on the video is called Little Swan, which is a high-end club..... I guess she lost too much in the school-end gambling..... So I had to choose to go there to work, my friend said that the little swan is a more formal place, the guests can hug at most, and there will not be too many excessive actions. Cheng Mo said softly, first he had to calm Shen Youyi's emotions, and then narrow things down to a relatively small scope.

Shen Youyi was a little relieved when she heard Cheng Mo's words, and then asked puzzledly, "Learn to gamble?"

Cheng Mo smiled bitterly, "This ..... It was organized by Du Leng, the president of the student union, and the school also knew it, because it felt that it would also stimulate the students to study hard, so they didn't stop it, and it is estimated that the teachers didn't expect the students to play so big!"

"How much can she learn as a student, why won't she go to work in the club!" Shen Youyi remembered that before the final exam, Shen Mengjie also borrowed 5,000 yuan from herself, saying that she was helping a classmate with a very good relationship to turn around, and her parents didn't give it to her, and she didn't think much about it, so she lent it to her, but now she hasn't paid it back, and she didn't ask, and she suddenly felt a little big.

Maybe Shen Mengjie felt that she would win the final exam, so she pressed herself a lot of learning points on herself. ”

"You tell me honestly, did you get a zero score in the exam because you learned to gamble?" Shen Youyi turned his head and looked at Cheng Mo sternly.

Cheng Mo hurriedly shook his head, this kind of thing must not be admitted.

"Cheng Mo, I didn't want to ask you why, because I trust you very much and know that you must have a reason why you don't want to say it.... But today I really want to know the answer, I remember you said that if I wanted to know, you would tell me, so can you tell me now?" After a pause, Shen Youyi said solemnly: "I hope you don't lie to me." ”

Cheng Mo sighed in his heart, lowered his head, pretended to be very sad, and said hesitantly: "Actually..... In fact..... I've never wanted to say ..... I'm finishing the ..... After my dad's funeral..... I got the strange disease of cognitive impairment..... I'm battling the disease every day..... I want to prove myself.... I brush at least 200 questions a day...... But when it comes to the exam..... I can't think of any formulas..... I'm a perfectionist..... If you don't get a perfect score..... Didn't get the first place..... I'd rather be last in the exam...."

Shen Youyi was stunned, she didn't expect this reason at all, she saw Cheng Mo burying his head low, she couldn't see his face clearly at all, and her body was still trembling slightly.

"He must have suffered a lot, right? My father died, and I not only had a heart attack but also a cognitive impairment! If I had I, I would have collapsed! Was he in tears? He must have been very sad, I didn't trust him like this! I was too much, how could I not believe in such a poor child?"

Shen Youyi was a little flustered, feeling a huge sense of guilt hammered into her heart, making her heart collapse a piece, and then her whole heart was like a building block, falling down one by one, she threw her mobile phone on the sofa, hugged Cheng Mo, and pressed him hard into her soft and warm embrace.

She stroked Cheng Mo's messy hair and whispered, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry..... Cheng Mo, I'm sorry, Sister Xi shouldn't believe you, Sister Xi is wrong, can you forgive Sister Xi?"

"No, I should have said it sooner. Cheng Mo didn't know how to describe his inner feelings, he felt that he was a little greedy for the stern gaze and soft hug, the fragrance on Shen Youyi's body carried a fresh scent of leaves after the rain, her twisted braid swayed at the tip of his nose, her collarbone was like a curved crescent moon, her body was shrouded in a thin sweet hazy mist, he felt the warm liquid on his cheeks sliding over the corners of his lips, he licked it gently, salty.

That's the smell of tears.

I don't know what my tears taste like, but will they also taste like inorganic salt plus water and protein? Why do tears in movies always have magical power, and it's really a magical setting.

But why doesn't anyone find this premise nonsensical?

Why would such a thing as tears, which do not exist much, bear such a great significance? Cheng Mo did not understand.

But he understands that he shouldn't care about Shen Youyi's little gentleness, he shouldn't care about a place called "home", he only has one person left, where he goes is home, or in other words, this kind of hiding place like home doesn't exist at all after his father leaves.....

Why did he want to stay in that old, cramped two-bedroom building? He could have left, or let his uncle and aunt's family go, but he didn't.

He has another big world to conquer, he has one of the strongest skills in this world, he can grow into one of the best people in this world, but he still only wants to be his librarian.

If it were a different person, I am afraid that he would have started to level up day and night upside down, but he still lived his life slowly and leisurely.

Wake up every morning with an egg, drink a glass of milk, and make a bowl of cereal.

No, my father wouldn't think so, he just wanted to live well.

In Shen Youyi's arms, Cheng Mo was motionless and cranky.

"Have you been to the doctor?" Shen Youyi pushed Cheng Mo out of his arms, and quietly, pretending to wipe the corners of his eyes inadvertently, and asked seriously.

"I've seen it, and the doctor can't ..... this disease," Cheng Mo said in a low voice.

"It's okay, it's okay, it's going to get better, Sister Xi believes you'll get better. Shen Youyi said a little nervously.

Cheng Mo could hear Shen Youyi's sincere concern, and he was a little ashamed, "The doctor said that it may be caused by strong stimulation, it's not a big deal, it just affects the exam, it won't affect life, and you will get better if you adjust your mood.... Teacher Shen, don't talk about my business yet, let's solve Shen Mengjie's trouble first..."

"Are you still blaming me?" said Shen Youyi with some resentment.

"It's not.... No.... Just shouted smoothly.... Sister Xi. Cheng Mo hurriedly raised his head, and Teacher Shen's hands were twisted in front of his chest, looking a little cramped.

"I'm sorry, Cheng Mo, Sister Xi promises that no matter what happens in the future, she will believe you.... Let's pull the hook...."Shen Youyi stretched out his hand to Cheng Mo.

Shen Youyi saw Cheng Mo's strange eyes, and thought that she was going to pull the hook last semester but was rejected by Cheng Mo's cold eyes, so she hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, I'm too naïve." ”

"Not naïve. Cheng Mo raised his hand and hooked his little finger with Shen Mengjie's little finger.

Cheng Mo didn't speak, his expression seemed to be concluding some kind of contract.

Shen Youyi smiled and whispered: "The hook will not change for a hundred years.... yes, and you have to press your thumbs together....."

Shen Youyi clasped Cheng Mo's thumb and his own thumb together with his left hand, "You haven't hooked anyone before, have you?"

Cheng Mo shook his head.

"No wonder it's so serious. Shen Youyi couldn't help but laugh and tremble twice, and suddenly the waves surged.

"Swearing is a solemn thing. Cheng Mo turned his head and said dissatisfied.

"It's me who was wrong, I shouldn't have been so undignified, and I wasted my time as a teacher!" Shen Youyi chuckled and patted Cheng Mo's shoulder and said, and then immediately seemed to remember something, "That's right, that's right, Xiaojie's matter.... I need to call her parents quickly. ”

Cheng Mo could only turn his head and press Shen Youyi's slippery hand again, "Sister Xi, it's really inappropriate to tell Shen Mengjie's parents about this matter, I think although you are Shen Mengjie's sister, you should be inferior to me to her..... She just doesn't know like her own parents, so she would rather go to work in Little Swan, if you really want to help her, instead of thinking that she resents you, or even has depression or something..... It's better to call her over and solve it in private!"

"Depression?..... Could it be so serious?" Shen Youyi was taken aback.

"You are a teacher, and you should know better than me how fragile the psychology of students is. Cheng Mo said lightly.
