This middle-aged man is naturally Cao Aiqing's father.

In fact, He Tianran had a hunch in his heart that the biggest obstacle with Cao Aiqing in this way this time would definitely not come from the school, but a series of follow-up reactions caused by this incident.

This is a mode of thinking that he is slowly developing now, including events such as "parental involvement" are also within his scope of consideration, which can almost be said to be reasonable and expected, but it is a different matter when it is expected, when it is really seen.

"Uncle, he is He Tianran, you talk first, I still have some things, so I'll leave first, hahaha......"

Xue Yong saw that the situation was not good, and after introducing himself with a dry laugh, he found a reason to leave, and he found Bai Tingting who was watching from a distance at the other end, and the two simply sat on the grass, holding the mentality of eating melons, watching the good show that happened here.

He Tianran swallowed his saliva, he had never been good at dealing with this kind of middle-aged man who seemed to be a successful person.

Cao Aiqing's father glanced at his nervous daughter, who was holding a mobile phone in his hand, he was silent, and did not ask about the content of the mobile phone message, but said:

"Qingqing, you avoid it."

"Dad...... You ......"

In the girl's impression, her father has always been good-tempered, kind and polite, but the words just now made her faintly worried.

"Don't worry, I'll talk to classmate He, and I won't embarrass him."

The lenses of Cao's father's glasses reflected the sunlight, and Cao Aiqing couldn't see his eyes clearly, but couldn't help but say:

"That'...... Okay, I'll be waiting for you next to you, Dad, you must communicate well, God...... He already knows that he is wrong, and I forgive him...... You...... You must not be embarrassed for him......"

The more the girl explained beside her, the more nervous He Tianran became, what a stupid girl, your father listened to your words, and the murderous aura he exuded was about to condense into substance, can't you see it?

"Well, got it, go ahead."

Father Cao smiled and patted Cao Aiqing's back, and the girl looked back at He Tianran step by step, and finally walked away.

"Hello uncle...... I...... So what......"

"Classmate He, what is the content of the message you just sent to Qingqing?"

“…… Yes? ”

He Tianran was about to say hello here, but Father Cao pushed his glasses and looked directly at the boy, his tone was strong, and he went straight to the topic.

"That's it...... I just want to have a meal at noon, and I want to apologize to Mr. Cao......"

He Tianran was flustered, fortunately, the message he sent just now was not out of line, he was ready to take out his mobile phone to show it, he would delete the chat history with Cao Aiqing every night, I was afraid that one day the teacher or parents would come to conduct a surprise inspection, and now if you want to check the words, you can't see any ambiguity.

"Well, you're mature, but you're both kids who haven't left school, so it's better to talk to your parents and me directly, if you want to apologize, in fact, my uncle thinks that the two of you are keeping your distance now and studying hard, which is already the best way to apologize."

Father Cao is also an old man no matter what he says, He Tianran, if this kid has any crooked ideas, he is simply a door, he has even guessed what this kid is going to say next, only to hear the boy nod and say:

"Okay uncle, I have already done a review just now, I will definitely keep my distance from classmate Cao in the future and study hard......"

Sure enough, He Tianran's answer was no different from what Father Cao thought, and the middle-aged scholar also had a countermeasure, he chuckled:

"Okay, you promised your uncle, and that uncle has two conditions, please be sure to do it. One, last time Mr. Chen called your father to come to school, and your father didn't come because of something, I would like to ask you to make an appointment with your father in private, and we will talk about you in person; Second, since you are a man, I will ask Mr. Chen to help you go through the relevant transfer procedures, I heard that you are an art student, you should not have to stay in the second class, which is a class where cultural students are gathered, I heard that Class 13 is good, and there are many art students, after you transfer there, it will be a little easier. ”

After Cao's father finished speaking in an orderly manner, He Tianran was almost stunned by his combo moves, first looking for parents, and then changing classes, if the average high school and middle school couple heard this, I am afraid that ten pairs will have to break up nine pairs.

Students, when they hear the words "find parents", there are really not many people who can not be cowardly, and the word "love" has always been the most disgraceful word on campus in China, and the severity is even worse than "skipping class".

He Tianran was silent, thinking about how to answer, but just this silence, in the eyes of Cao's father, had already confirmed the relationship between him and his daughter, and it would not be as good as the two of them said.

This one of them is one of the few, and they are frowning.

"Uncle, I know that you are doing these two things for the good of classmate Cao, and I understand your feelings, so I will first answer you about the reason why I can't do it when I transfer classes......"

After a while, He Tianran finally spoke:

"I scored more than 650 points in this month's preliminary exam, ranked 5th in the class, and ranked 14th in age, although it is not as good as Cao's classmates, but this is also a high score.

"Also, you just said that I am an art student, but an art student does not mean that my grades are bad, you asked me to change classes, the environment has to be changed, the teacher has to be changed, and even the atmosphere of learning has to be changed, let's compare our hearts to hearts, you are my father, maybe you will not easily agree to this matter, take a step back, I don't bother Cao, but you can't disturb my study, right?"

“……”

This kid...... The speech is quite logical, and it is not at the same level as the general review book of the eighteen bends of the mountain road he just had.

Father Cao listened to the young man's words, although he knew that his real purpose was to change the concept, but he didn't refute it for the time being, because this was a conspiracy, he said it openly and with a lot of backbone, after all, he had the confidence and ability to say so.

And Cao's father also heard He Tianran's subtext, which meant nothing more than to tell himself that he was no worse than his daughter.

"As for the first question, you said you wanted to meet my father......"

He Tianran suddenly seemed to be a little depressed, he didn't hide it, and his eyes spit out the truth gloomily:

"To tell you the truth, I don't have a good relationship with my family, don't talk about you, it's also difficult to see my father right now...... By the way, you must have heard about my father's identity from Mr. Chen's mouth, after all, she will not fail to tell you about such a big matter. ”

"I know, He Panshan, I'm also surprised that he still has a son like you, after all, your father rarely talks about his family in public."

Cao's father added that years of life made him see that the child was not lying.

"However, if you would like to meet with an elder who can discipline me, I will do my best to arrange it for you. Rest assured, I will not pretend to hide anything in this matter, and even if you want to make an appointment at school, I have no objection. ”

He Tianran's alternative plan made Cao's father feel a little surprised, a boy of this age can have this way of thinking, which can be said to be relatively mature, but when he thinks of his family background, he is quickly relieved.

This almost rational way of dialogue calmed down the anger in Cao's father's heart a little, and when he calmed down, he wondered:

"You can say this, so that your uncle can feel that you are a sensible child, but the things you did to Qingqing are too frivolous and public, and I can't help but put a question mark on what you just said."

He Tianran is glad that the other party is not like his father, according to the current contact situation, Cao's father is a person who knows how to communicate.

His question, translated into Cao Aiqing's old father, is afraid that his daughter will be deceived by a rich second generation who knows how to romance, but is actually pretending to be a rich second generation, as for him He Tiantian understands whether he understands or not, that is, he just said it casually.

When cultural people speak, every sentence is packaged, and if you don't answer well if you are not careful, you will definitely be caught by it.

In this regard, He Tianran said unabashedly:

"Uncle, I'm only eighteen years old, and I just want to do one thing I should do at my age."

"So you let Qingqing make such a big joke with you in front of the whole school? Have you ever wondered how much of an impact this will have on her later on? Just because you're young? ”

Father Cao raised his eyebrows, obviously dissatisfied with He Tianran's answer.

The boy suddenly showed a surprised expression and asked rhetorically:

"Uncle, do you usually spend a lot of time with classmate Cao?"

"What do you mean?"

Cao's father was confused, his usual place of work was in other places, and it was not until he was transferred back to Hong Kong City this year that he had time to spend with his family.

He Tianran looked sideways at the girl who was nervously watching the situation in the distance, and then said seriously to Father Cao:

"I'm sure it won't affect her, and your daughter is much stronger than you think."

Father Cao said angrily: "Hmph, is your kid better than me?" ”

He Tianran paused, and said cautiously about this question: "Uncle, do you know why classmate Cao's hair was suddenly cut short?" ”

Father Cao was stunned when he heard this, his brows were tightly locked, and he did not speak.

He Tianran saw the other party's reaction, and guessed what Cao Aiqing said to his parents after the bullying incident, he sighed and said:

"Uncle, let's find a place to sit down, and I'll tell you more about it."

……

……

That day, He Tianran and Cao Aiqing's father talked for a long time in the café outside the school, and the boy didn't come back until the second class was about to end in the afternoon......

The bell rings for the end of class, and the third class of today is the whole school cleaning.

The math teacher, who had never had a good head, rarely did not drag the class, he put down the chalk, and the students left their seats and went their separate ways.

Some girls went to the toilet in pairs, some boys leaned on the table and chatted with their classmates, and some took their brooms and brooms and went downstairs one after another.

He Tianran and Xue Yong lay on the railing of the corridor, watching the junior classmates downstairs sweep every corner of the campus in gangs, they ran and frolicked, and the senior classmates upstairs laughed at their positive work.

Suddenly, a friend poked He Tianran with his elbow and told him to look to the side.

Only then did the boy find out that the girl he liked was also standing in front of the railing, chatting with Bai Tingting and several girls.

The afternoon sun is still so favored on her face, like a golden veil, this scene He Tianran has secretly seen many times, but every time I look at it, I will think of the allusion in the textbook that "still holding the pipa and half covering the face".

It was an ordinary afternoon as usual.

The only difference was that he knew she was waiting for him.

It's so intense.

In the past, this kind of scenario could only be imagined in the minds of boys.

Xue Yong called Bai Tingting, and the boys and girls got together tacitly, snickered quietly, and gradually left.

Soon, in front of the corridor railing of the second class of the third year, only a man and a woman were left at a distance.

He Tianran approached slowly, Cao Aiqing found his movements, so nervous that she stood in place and didn't dare to move, she pretended to look at the scenery of the campus, and finally there was a distance between the two.

The boy bent down, his hand resting his chin on the railing, and he also pretended to look at the scenery.

Just looking at it, he suddenly smiled.

"You...... What are you laughing at? The shy girl thought he was laughing at herself and couldn't help asking.

"It's nothing, I just think 'tacit' is really the most beautiful idiom in the world...... That's nice. ”

He Tianran turned his head and said cheerfully.

The girl's cheeks flushed, and she looked around weakly, and she said softly, "Why did you suddenly become a liberal arts student again?" ”

He Tianran quipped: "Your father and I have been chatting for a long time, and the big truths in the book have been said a bunch of things, and staying with the descendants of cultural people, it is natural to improve your literary accomplishment." ”

Cao Aiqing couldn't help but sneer, and then quickly straightened his face.

"He is engaged in history, and there are a few cultural relics in the Port City Museum that he dug up with his own hands when he was young." There was a slight smug look on the girl's face.

"Yo no wonder, Captain Jin?"

"Hmm~ Speak well!"

"Okay, good, honorary professor of the Department of History of the University of Hong Kong, I know, it's amazing~"

"You're all talking about this?" Cao Aiqing's eyes widened.

"How can I be, I didn't take the initiative to ask."

"That's right...... That...... So how did you talk? The girl asked cautiously.

He Tianran shrugged: "What else, it's the same as what the teacher said." ”

Cao Aiqing panicked: "Ah...... So what to do...... When I was in class just now, my dad sent me a message asking me to go back early today. ”

"Then you'll go back early."

"You...... I didn't know my dad was going to come to school today...... If I knew, I would have let you know in advance......"

Looking at He Tianran's indifferent look, Cao Aiqing looked aggrieved again, and was busy explaining.

Suddenly, she felt a heat on her face, and it turned out to be a hand that reached over and gently rubbed it against her cheek, and the movement of the hand was very light, slowly rubbing the gloom between her eyebrows.

"Okay, your father didn't say that he wouldn't let us be together, he just didn't want us to delay each other at this critical moment, and I also promised him that I would keep my distance from you before the college entrance examination, and I would never let your grades drop, but you were going to be a girl in the architecture department of the University of Hong Kong."

After He Tianran finished speaking, she withdrew her hand, Cao Aiqing's ten fingers were pressed together, the temperature on her face was still there, and she snorted: "You can't be regarded as keeping a distance......

"What did you say?" The boy asked deliberately.

"I ...... I said, how did you convince him? ”

He Tianran thought for a while and shook his head: "Actually, it's not convincing, it's just ...... Men, you don't want your baby to be bullied, outside school, you have your father, but at school, you still have me to protect you. ”

Cao Aiqing probably knew what the two of them were talking about in the afternoon, but the word "baby" made her ears and neck red, and after a while, she spit out three words:

"It's so boring......"

"Huh?"

He Tianran didn't figure out Cao Aiqing's brain circuit for a while.

"Treasure ...... Baby...... What ......"

The boy was stunned for a moment, then bent down, hahaha laughed, his tears came out, Cao Aiqing gritted his teeth in anger, stretched out his finger and poked the itchy flesh between his ribs, this time it really worked wonders, He Tianran was poked in place and jumped.

He wiped away his tears, looked at Cao Aiqing, who was pretending to be serious about the scenery, and asked:

"I'm curious, what do you call your parents at home? When there are no outsiders, it won't always be called Qingqing and Qingqing, right? ”

Cao Aiqing said: "My dad just called me Qingqing, and my mother would call me Xiao Ai." ”

He Tianran was puzzled: "Still calling separately?" ”

The girl shook her head, carrying this, she looked proud, raised the corners of her mouth and said:

"No, when I first took the name, my father and mother found a sentence respectively, and each took a word in it, and my father was looking for the green character in the Book of Poetry 'Qingqing Zijin, Yoyo My Heart', because the two of them were very young when they were together, and it was a love letter written by Dad, and there were only four words in it, called 'Young Mu Ai', so my mother chose the word 'Ai' in it, and these two words together are '' The homonym of 'love' means that I am the proof of love between them, so until now, they like to call me the word they are looking for. ”

Seeing Cao Aiqing speak the truth, immersed in the good memories of his father, He Tianran also smiled and listened quietly.

The boy can't empathize with this kind of thing because of his own family, but this does not prevent the girl in front of him from filling in the missing part of his life for him little by little.

This girl, who was born in a beautiful family, still retains the original tenderness and kindness to everything in this world.

"You know, my parents never call each other...... Husband or wife's. Cao Aiqing said to He Tianran very fascinated.

"What's that called? My dear? Or is it 'Lao Cao' or something? He Tianran smiled and continued.

"Privately, they'll still call each other by name, just like you...... You call me Ai Qing, but in the face of outsiders, my mother will say 'my husband', and my dad will say 'my lover', although there is nothing special, but every time I hear it, I feel very sweet...... Feel...... Much better than 'baby'......"

The boy was blushing at the sudden title, and both of them bowed their heads, at a loss.

"This ...... This is what it is called after marriage......"

“…… Well...... Hmmm......"

"Ai Qing ......"

“…… Well? ”

He Tianran scratched his head and said, "I'...... I'll call you by that name from now on...... But you know that...... Significance...... It's not the same ...... as before."

"Hmm!"

"Know...... It's good to know......"

Cao Aiqing was so ashamed that he turned into a hmm-hmm-hmm, and He Tianran was also so impatient that he fanned with one hand, pretending to fan next to his face, and he found the topic and said:

"This cultural person is just different, so I want to recite a poem......"

"It can't be some kind of 'so-called Yiren, on the water side', right?" Cao Aiqing said with a smile.

"This ...... Not really. ”

Oh no, the answer was guessed, He Tianran was so anxious that he searched his stomach, and there were only a few love poems in high school textbooks, and they were either tragic poems or out of place.

Cao Aiqing looked at him with a faint smile on his face.

The boy looked at her for a moment, and the person slowly relaxed, and at this moment, the hearts of each other seemed to melt into their respective eyes.

The beauty in red and the friend in white are singing and drinking together.

The world says that I love Chang'an, but in fact, I only love Chang'an.

It was an ordinary afternoon, and the teenagers and girls were secretly holding hands on campus.

Many years later, the boy recalls the afternoon and finally finds the love poem that he had not found until then.

However, it was something that came to me many years later.
