Chapter 2: Tragic News

Gao Mingzhe sat on the blue pebble road, there was some hesitation in the eyes of his two eyes, he didn't know what he had experienced, but he was a little incredulous, this feeling of drunken life and dream death made him very familiar, he was a student who studied below average,

This kind of student is in an extremely contradictory position, neither as extreme as a bad student, skipping class every day to play video games, nor like a good student who insists on studying, finds his own goals, and is admitted to the ideal school.

If you want to be self-motivated, he can't reach the edge of the upper grades, and he can't do it when he is transferred to the level of the first and second to last, it is this ambiguous position that makes his circle of friends up and down, and gradually no one wants to talk to him.

Gao Mingzhe himself is actually very contradictory, he doesn't have any ideal goals, but he doesn't want to become a bad boy who doesn't learn and doesn't know how to do it, he spends 30 minutes in class every day to listen to lectures, and the remaining ten minutes are used to slip the number, he is such a student who has always been in the middle and lower reaches.

There are many dandelions planted on the bluestone road of the college, which was planted by the teacher when the first grade did a biological experiment seminar, and Gao Mingzhe tore off a small yellow flower.

"I didn't expect dandelions to be flowers when they were young."

At this moment, a cold girl stopped him,

"Gao Mingzhe, you are destroying the campus again."

Gao Mingzhe glanced back, and the one who called her was the president of their class, named Nan Jing, a girl with an extremely lovely appearance, but a not very good personality.

But a bad personality is not his disadvantage, a girl with a personality will always be popular, but it's not, the teachers like her very much, Nan Jing is indeed a little better than ordinary children, knows more, and knows more things,

No matter what the occasion, class meetings and speeches, she will be generous, she is a new star of the school, the focus of parents' attention, and the object of crush of the boys in the class.

Gao Mingzhe is very strange about the usually aggressive squad leader, why did he take the time to come to her today, to be honest, this little girl is usually very reluctant to pay attention to boys with poor academic performance, and usually doesn't even look at him,

Nan Jing's gaze kept falling on the little yellow flower on Gao Mingzhe's right hand, and her face was full of anger,

"Gao Mingzhe, believe it or not, I'll tell the instructor to go, you are destroying greenery, and you will be criticized by the whole school!"

Gao Mingzhe planted the skinny little yellow flower in a reasonable position,

"This flower has no room to live......"

Nan Jing obviously didn't believe his words, and reprimanded angrily,

"Gao Mingzhe! You're still quibbling! I can see that you're destroying the greenery. ”

Gao Mingzhe knew that it was useless to explain, so he immediately turned his head and ignored her, in fact, part of the reason was also because Gao Mingzhe was a little shy, Nan Jing was very beautiful, not only what the other boys in the class thought, but he also felt. But he is the most wasteful person in the class, and he usually doesn't even have the courage to look at Nan Jing directly, let alone fall in love with her or something.

"Nan Jing, sometimes your temper should be more restrained, you are too proud, this is ...... for you"

Nan Jing took two steps forward and grabbed Gao Mingzhe to interrupt him,

"I don't need you as a bad student to teach me, do you have this time for you to study? Look at your grades, see how many points you memorize for our group every day?

Our group can win the first place every time, but it is because you can't get it, you are not self-motivated at all, I must sue you to the teacher! ”

Nan Jing's two sentences gave Gao Mingzhe speechless, their school has a group system, each class is divided into four groups, and they are evaluated every week, and the group with the highest ranking can get a mobile red flag, but because of Gao Mingze's middle and lower grades, he did not have a good relationship with the class representative or teacher.

So the score obtained is very, very low, and sometimes even the penultimate score is higher than him, and there is a corresponding punishment for the student with a low score, which is why he stays in the school every time to clean.

"Squad leader, you're looking for me this time."

Gao Mingzhe hesitated,

"Is the teacher looking for me?"

Nan Jing said angrily,

"Nonsense, then do you think I'm going to look for you? Who do you think you are? ”

Suddenly another student ran out of the teaching building, his name was Lu Kang, and he was also a very close student around the teacher, he walked over, first glanced at Gao Mingzhe, his eyes were full of disdain, and then he looked at Nan Jing, the class leader who was standing on the side,

"Nan Jing, the teacher asked Gao Mingzhe why he hasn't come yet? Let him hurry over. It seems that there is a very important and urgent matter. ”

Nan Jing said with a complaining face,

"It's all he is grinding around here, destroying the greenery, and after a while, I will ask the dean to buckle him and let him punish him for pruning the greenery here for a day."

Lu Kang leaned into Nan Jing's ear and whispered,

"What are you doing with this big sheep? You still know like a big sheep, don't you know what kind of waste he is? If it weren't for the teacher looking for him, I wouldn't be too lazy to come, let's not be angry, and laugh at him the next time we compose! ”

After speaking, Lu Kang approached Gao Mingzhe, who lived on the gravel road, and kicked his school uniform fiercely,

"Big sheep hurry up, you haven't handed in your homework today, don't think about those essays here, I really think you are a big writer, the teacher is looking for you in a hurry, and you are still grinding here!"

Nan Jing also reprimanded, "Hurry up!" ”

Gao Mingzhe got up and followed the two of them to follow the teacher's office, which is located on the top floor of the teaching building, where the lighting is very good, and it will not be very cold in winter.

In the summer, there is air conditioning, and compared with the students' classrooms, the temperature regulation here is more comfortable, and many students will rub the air conditioner against the crack of the door in the summer.

Nan Jing knocked on the office door casually, and a familiar voice came out,

"Please come in."

Gao Mingzhe just wanted to push the door but was pushed open by Lu Kang, Lu Kang looked at him with disdain, and then opened the door and walked in, Gao Mingzhe's head teacher is a middle-aged woman in her early 40s, named Li Xiaohua, although Li Xiaohua is forty years old, but the skin is very well maintained, from the appearance it looks like about 30 years old, compared with peers, it is simply a heaven and an earth,

Many parents also know that Li Xiaohua is good at maintenance, and in order to please Li Xiaohua, the parents tried their best to give her a lot of cosmetics and beauty cards, and several times they happened to be seen by him.

Gao Mingzhe has deep memories of these, because Gao Mingzhe's mother, who is also in her early 40s, is already wrinkled and gray, and the vicissitudes of time baptize his mother's face, and it is precisely because of this that he wants to save money to buy a high-end skin care product for his mother.

Lu Kang looked at Gao Mingzhe's stunned appearance, pinched hard behind him, and walked to the teacher in a hurry.

"Teacher, big sheep, no. Gao Mingzhe, I can be regarded as calling you, he was still playing downstairs when I called him, calling him is more difficult than calling the whole class, anyway, I can't call him. ”

The teacher didn't pay attention to Lu Kang, but looked at Gao Mingzhe behind him, with a hint of unprecedented warmth in his eyes,

Lu Kang saw that the teacher didn't respond to him, thinking that what he just said was a little fast, but the teacher didn't hear it clearly, and then added,

"Teacher, Gao Mingzhe, he doesn't listen to you, he sits on the playground privately, he doesn't sleep when he should sleep, and he hasn't handed in his homework today."

The teacher glanced in Lu Kang's direction, his face was no longer warm, and he said coldly,

"Get out."

Lu Kang looked at the teacher incredulously, usually the teacher is more annoying than anyone else Gao Mingzhe, I don't know what happened today, but he turned to Gao Mingzhe, his heart was angry and annoyed, in order to make him more popular at school, his parents didn't think less,

"Teacher! Gao Mingzhe ......"

"Get out!"

"Don't you understand?"

Lu Kang pushed open the door unwillingly, and gave Nan Jing a look before leaving,

Nan Jing quickly understood what he meant, walked to the teacher's side, looked at Gao Mingzhe with a mocking expression, and whispered in the teacher's ear,

"Teacher, Gao Mingzhe destroyed the green value, and was discovered by the teaching director again, this week's mobile red flag is gone, and our group's points have been deducted, which is really a shame for our class."

Nan Jing wanted to see the teacher's angry face, but today it was empty, and the teacher just said to her with a calm face,

"Nan Jing, you can go out too."

She couldn't believe the scene in front of her, if the teacher didn't face her, Lu Kang might be an exception, but it was the first time that she didn't face her in front of other students.

Nan Jing did not continue to complain to the teacher like Lu Kang, but slowly pushed open the door and walked out, she knew that this would annoy the teacher.

Li Xiaohua saw that there were no other students in the office, and beckoned to Gao Mingzhe, who was standing motionless next to the door,

"Mingzhe...... Come here, the teacher will tell you something. ”

Gao Mingzhe looked at the teacher's gentle attitude and peaceful tone, he couldn't believe that this was the head teacher he knew, the crazy woman who would reprimand the whole class in front of him every day at noon, he walked to the desk with trepidation,

"Mingzhe, the teacher wants to tell you one thing, you should be mentally prepared, and you must tell the teacher if you are sad."

Gao Mingzhe looked at the teacher's gentle face,

"Teacher, this is the first time you've done this to me."

Li Xiaohua's face obviously showed a trace of guilt,

"I'm sorry ......"

"I'm sorry for this kind of thing, it only exists when you feel guilty, and how can you show such a look, teacher, is it that I did something to make you happy?

If anything, I don't want to make it a happy thing, and it's not a happy thing for my life. ”

Li Xiaohua was slightly stunned, obviously touched by Gao Mingzhe's words, he has been in the industry for twenty years, and has seen many smart students, including many geniuses,

And this is the first time he has seen a student who said such a thing, an elementary school, although he is in the upper grade, but the students here are only eleven years old at most, and many are thirteen years old.

If there is any provincial experimental special enrollment, he will throw out such words, he is not surprised, after all, the education he has received since childhood is different, and the waste material in the middle and lower reaches in front of him does not look like a smart person in the sky.

Li Xiaohua was distracted for a moment, she quickly remembered what she was going to say to Gao Mingzhe next, and her eyes not only showed a trace of sadness,

"Mingzhe, your father ......"

Just when Li Xiaohua was halfway through speaking, the TV in front of the office suddenly turned on and turned to the news channel, Li Xiaohua was startled, and quickly looked at the remote control on the table, and then took a breath, it turned out that she was too nervous and accidentally pressed her elbow,

"The latest news from this station, the Ma Group experienced an attack by a gang of gangsters yesterday, all the employees of the Ma Group were killed, the police have intervened, and we will follow up and report on the specific process......"

There was a trace of confusion in Gao Mingzhe's eyes, he slowly raised his head, looked at the familiar building, and seemed to remember something, he pointed to the front page headlines on the news barrage,

"Daddy......"

Li Xiaohua looked at him sadly,

"Ming Zhe, you are still young, originally we didn't want to tell you, see that your mother fainted after receiving the news, and ...... because the rescue was not timely"

Li Xiaohua didn't have the courage to say any more, he looked at the eleven-year-old boy in front of him, his eyes were full of unbearability, if he heard the news when he was eleven years old, he might go crazy on the spot,

But she has no choice, as Gao Mingzhe's homeroom teacher, she must be responsible, she can only do this, she knows what a cruel thing this is for an eleven-year-old child, but Gao Mingzhe has no immediate relatives, only two distant cousins who can't be far away, they obviously can't take time to take care of Gao Mingzhe,

She admits that he is a devil and lets eleven-year-old children know about such things, because she does not have the courage to hide a child's whole life from the philanthropist on TV, in order to protect the child's heart, she also has her own family.

Another Li Xiaohua was surprised that Gao Mingzhe did not cry, did not faint, did not scream, and did not lose control of his emotions, he just stood quietly in place, as if he didn't hear what she said at all.

Li Xiaohua bit her lip,

"Mingzhe ......"

"Nothing."

Li Xiaohua looked at Gao Mingzhe with a shocked face, he couldn't believe what Gao Mingzhe said, how could it be nothing? This is the loss of two loved ones in an instant, and it is a devastating blow to an adult! Not to mention an eleven-year-old teenager, the age group that lacks the most parental care,

Li Xiaohua took Gao Mingzhe's hand and calmed his tone a little more,

"Ming Zhe, I know you are very sad now, you must tell the teacher about something, it is very uncomfortable to hold it in your heart, you are always worried like this, you must not scare the teacher."

"Teacher, don't worry, I won't commit suicide by jumping off the building, can I go back to class, Teacher Cheng is very fierce, I don't want to be punished."

Li Xiaohua couldn't control his emotions anymore, looked at the poor boy in front of him, stretched out his hand and hugged him tightly,

Gao Mingzhe was not touched by the sudden warmth in front of him, his face still showed his usual expression, it seemed that it was only two people who had nothing to do with him who died, he said coldly,

"Teacher, it's time for class."

"Ming Zhe, you can skip class these days, you can go to school whenever you want, I won't blame you."

"Teacher, your current concern should be a kind of guilt for me, but I don't think you need to be like this, since I said I don't care, then you shouldn't care, this is the communication between normal people, isn't what I said wrong......"

Li Xiaohua looked at him with a surprised face, he couldn't believe what a child said, she kept trembling, and her eyes were full of extreme regret.

Two lines of tears slipped down her face, Li Xiaohua thought about it for a long time and didn't know what to say, she couldn't control her emotions, she didn't dare to imagine what this child had experienced, what senior teacher, what honor, she said with some self-deprecation,

Gao Mingzhe looked at him questioningly, with a little worry in his eyes,

"What the hell did I do...... What the hell did I do......"

"Teacher, are you blaming yourself, all this is the fault of those robbers, I don't think this matter has anything to do with you, why do you blame yourself and regret it,

I should be happy that you are sad for me, but I can't be happy right now, and I should cry on this occasion, right? ”

Gao Mingzhe looked at Li Xiaohua, who was squatting on the ground and crying bitterly, and reached out to touch her head,

"At this time, you should be comforted, teacher, don't cry, I never blamed you."

Li Xiaohua looked at Gao Mingzhe with a frightened face, as if he felt that he was a monster, he was not a human at all, and he had no feelings, he was the cruelest demon in the world, Li Xiaohua quickly moved away from Gao Mingzhe, and the chairs around him were touched by her,

"Teacher. I'm comforting you. ”

The expression on Gao Mingzhe's face still didn't change, but there was a little more confusion in his eyes compared to just now, his movements did not stop, and his warm little hand stretched out towards Li Xiaohua,

"Teacher, why do you look at me like this?"

Li Xiaohua looked at the hands and collapsed directly on the ground, what Gao Mingzhe did just now had made every hair on her body tremble,

"Don't come, don't come!"

"Teacher...... I'm just comforting you, why are you running? ”

Li Xiaohua couldn't control her emotions anymore, with a hint of madness on her face, she grabbed the handle of the house with both hands, but the door couldn't be opened, she was locked by Lu Kang's anger.

"Teacher, am I doing this wrong? This should be comforting,"

Fear stimulated her adrenaline, she desperately grabbed the doorknob, pulled hard, and broke the door lock with amazing force, and soon the door was pushed open, and she escaped from the office, disappearing from Gao Mingzhe's sight.

In the evening, the students received the news of Li Xiaohua's resignation, saying that he had suffered a serious mental blow, resulting in a mental breakdown, and he could not serve for a long time, let alone have no chance to come back to teach them again.
