The old dean's room was simple.

A bed, a desk, a chair, and a lamp.

The old dean had the habit of reading books at night.

Therefore, this table lamp accompanied the old dean for many days and nights.

On the desk, Chen Ming saw a lot of books, the types of books were very mixed, basically involving everything, most of which were children's publications.

The entire orphanage was renovated.

Only this one room remained untouched.

Even, a faint layer of ash accumulated on the desk.

The original quilt and sheets on the bed also fell a layer of dust, which was taken out by the aunt and washed and replaced with a new one.

Suddenly, Chen Ming imagined in his mind the picture of the old dean sitting here reading a book.

In the quiet night, the old dean browsed books by the light of the lamp.

In the room, the sound of turning pages can be heard from time to time.

In addition, the old dean also has the habit of going to the dormitory building every night to check, there was no security guard before, and the door was also very broken, so you could turn in casually.

For the safety of the children, the old dean would go out at 12 o'clock at midnight to inspect the children's dormitory.

Sometimes I can't sleep, and I get up at 3 a.m. to check it again.

Chen Ming sat on the chair and flipped through the books in front of him like the dean.

After a while, Chen Ming found that he had no intention of reading at all.

On his first day back in Cloud City, Chen Ming spent the night in an orphanage.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Chen Ming got up to open the door, and the moment he opened the door, Chen Ming was stunned.

Outside the door, it was not an aunt, not Han Bingbing, but Su Rou.

"Why are you here?"

Chen Ming was a little surprised.

Su Rou carried a large insulated box: "I'll accompany you." ”

Chen Ming was stunned for a while, then hugged Su Rou: "Thank you." ”

To be honest, Chen Ming is not the kind of person who is prone to extremes.

Whether it was Han Bingbing's worry or Su Rou's concern, Chen Ming wanted to explain.

But on second thought,

There was no need to explain, he just needed to know that these people cared about him, it was enough.

Su Rou brought Chen Ming a porridge, thinking that Chen Ming had no appetite and might not have eaten much at night, so it was easy to digest by eating some porridge.

Warm porridge for the lower abdomen.

Chen Ming's mood also improved.

Wait until late at night,

Chen Ming hugged Su Rou and lay on the bed, and began to tell him what happened when he was a child.

Talking and talking,

He himself fell asleep first, and Su Rou stared at the sleeping Chen Ming with a pair of bright eyes.

Su Rou subconsciously stroked Chen Ming's cheek, although the man who hugged her into her arms was not handsome, but always gave people an inexplicable sense of security.

merely

Now the man is going through a long sad phase.

There is no comfort in the trauma of the death of a loved one.

When Su Rou's mother died, Su Wen was like a different person, he didn't say a word all day long, and he also contracted the bad problem of alcoholism.

If it weren't for Su Chuanxiong beating a few times, maybe Su Wen would have passed without doing anything in his life.

For Chen Ming,

The old dean was his father.

I don't know how long it will take to get out of this psychological trauma.

"Sleep, you'll be fine tomorrow."

Su Rou muttered, and subconsciously hugged Chen Ming's waist.

In your sleep,

Chen Ming also hugged Su Rou tightly.

Following.

Chen Ming woke up from his sleep, and that night he had a dream that he had made a mistake when he was a child, and the old dean spanked him.

After waking up from a dream,

Chen Ming himself smiled helplessly.

In her arms, Su Rou was still asleep.

Chen Ming then remembered that he had fallen asleep first while chatting last night.

Chen Ming felt uncomfortable, and Su Rou would also feel uncomfortable.

Actually, Chen Ming knew it in his heart.

Su Rou came to the orphanage to accompany him last night, just to help him share some psychological sadness.

Thinking of this, Chen Ming leaned over and kissed Su Rou's forehead, got up and went out to prepare breakfast.

The children haven't woken up yet.

The only people who are still awake in the orphanage are the two aunts who get up early to cook, and Chen Ming.

Chen Ming made a breakfast for the children, the old dean is gone, and he will be the oldest child in the orphanage in the future, so he should pay more attention to these children.

After breakfast,

Chen Ming urged again: "Bingbing, when things are done, go back to school early, and come back after the holidays." ”

From Chen Ming's tone, he seemed to have recovered from the death of the old dean.

As for whether there is really relief or not, no one knows.

It stands to reason that

When Chen Ming returned to Cloud City, he should go to the branch, after all, he was already the music director of the branch, and some things were still waiting for him to deal with. But Chen Ming pushed everything off.

Even, he even pushed off the New Year's party in December.

Su Chuanxiong conveyed Chen Ming's thoughts to Zhu Chengyi, and Zhu Yiyi was very puzzled.

It's all been arranged, why don't you suddenly participate?

The New Year's party is not a small one.

Even if it is the New Year's party of the Yuncheng local channel, the weight is very heavy, and many artists are eager to go up and perform a show, but Chen Ming actually pushed it down.

Of course, it is not difficult for the director of the evening to temporarily replace a program.

But the question is,

Chen Ming's backsliding behavior can easily make people feel disgusted.

Zhu has always been an old friend with Su Chuanxiong, and he made his dissatisfaction with Chen Ming clear directly on the phone.

After Su Chuanxiong finished explaining, Zhu Cheng was silent on the other end of the phone for a long time, and said: "I will have the opportunity to arrange him to attend the party again next year." ”

After experiencing the great sorrow of life, Chen Ming had no mind to focus on work at all.

Instead of working absent-mindedly, it is better to put everything off and wait until your mood is a little better before thinking about work.

November 10th.

The old dean was buried.

Buried in the Yuncheng first-class funeral cemetery, the tombstone is engraved with the name of the old dean and the date of birth and death, and there is a small line below the name: Director of Yuncheng Happy Orphanage.

Before the funeral, Chen Ming had been thinking about whether to tell the children the truth.

After thinking about it for a while, I still gave up.

It's good to let them grow up happily, there is no need to tell them these sad things.

So, very few people came to the funeral.

In addition to the relatives of Chen Ming and Han Bingbing, there are also three members of the Su family.

Simplicity in life;

The same is true after death.

The old dean struggled for the orphanage all his life, but unfortunately he did not die, and finally ended up with a serious illness.

After the funeral,

Cloud City ushered in a rare autumn rain.

It's also the last autumn rain of the year!

From this day on, there was no Chen Ming's news on the Internet.

No matter who it is,

I couldn't get any news about Chen Ming.

It was as if Chen Ming had disappeared from the Internet.

Only the upcoming new drama "The Beginning" is still setting off Chen Ming's sense of existence.

This winter,

For Chen Ming, it was extraordinarily cold.
