Chapter Seventy-Eight: Reality
"You wait here...... "The vice president said to a pair of middle-aged people and entered Lin'er's room, the middle-aged man was in a straight suit and wore a black hat, the middle-aged woman's white skirt was very neat, and the lace and white flowers on the hat could still set off her charm.
"Okay......" The two of them replied together, the man looked at the house very politely, but he looked at it a little obliquely, and he couldn't see the house, and the woman wanted to see more and put her hand on the side of the door, watching the vice president gently walk to the bed, following the rabbit-like alarm clock, pink sheets and pillows, and a small quilt bulging up, inside was their adopted child, they had already seen it, the two of them had hesitated for a long time in front of this kind of big event, and today was the day they took Lin'er back.
They desperately want this little cutie to become a member of their family, as they said, they felt kind, sensible and well-behaved when they first saw Lin'er, when they made up their minds, they even couldn't sleep happily all night, they even thought about this petite girl every day by their side, caring about her, loving her.
The vice president gently uncovered the quilt, Lin'er was awake, but did not answer her, the vice president was stunned for a moment, Lin'er's tears had soaked the pillow, her hair was sticky, it was covered with tears, and new tears flowed out of the corners of her eyes little by little, she looked at the ceiling blankly, even if she choked and did not make a sound, a plum blossom-like scar on her forehead was shocking, the tears on her immature face were not dry, and a wordless distress was revealed on the vice president's face, but she couldn't speak, she didn't know what Lin'er was for, she could only pick her up, I could only pat her on the back, and there was no way to say anything.
Lin'er was picked up by the vice president weakly, her sadness was indescribable, her red eyes were blurred even when she looked at the woman outside the door.
"What's wrong?" The woman outside the door came in like the wind, looking at the girl who was about to come to her family, her haggard face made her mouth open in surprise, she wanted to try to comfort, but she could only put her hand behind the vice dean's back in embarrassment, and there was no way to touch it.
"Why is this happening? What's going on? The man outside the door was angry and wanted to crush his teeth.
"What's wrong with her?" The woman looked at Lin'er distressedly, she was not angry, but her voice was very soft, she looked at this child crying like this, she half-knelt and slowly put her hand on her head.
"Lin'er, what's wrong with you? Is it okay to tell Ah Po? The vice dean patted Lin'er's back gently, it was the first time she had seen Lin'er like this, she was always sunny, and that sad expression seemed to never appear on her face.
"No ......" Lin'er tried to stop sobbing, she was hoarse and couldn't make any sound. She felt like she wanted to beat her spirits, but there was no way to smile, the vice dean wiped away her tears, turned back to the women and men and said, "I'm sorry, she can't leave with you in such a state......"
"Did anyone bully her?" The man took off his hat, entered the room, and stood half-kneeling in front of the woman, he looked at Lin'er's red eyes, and he couldn't look at her directly, so he could only turn his face away.
"Last night, we were all looking for her, I don't know if she was scared, there was a child like a king with everyone around her, although we stopped it in time, but there was still no way to know how much it hurt her......" The vice dean's tears fell little by little: "I'm really sorry, I didn't think there would be so much harm......"
"Boom!" The man slammed his fist against the wall, and the alarm clock flew up and shifted its position.
"Let me go see that little bastard!" The man angrily put his hat on, his eyes and eyebrows were almost entangled in anger, and motioned for the vice president to lead the way. It was obvious that he hadn't been angry before, so his expression wasn't so serious, and his fists weren't clenched so tightly, but this feeling like his own daughter being bullied made him angry directly.
"Ah Cheng, don't be like this......" The woman was also a little stunned, stood up, she looked at Lin'er and said, "Can you take us to see that child?" We need some explanation."
“…… I'm really sorry, it's my last night here, but I still haven't been able to protect Lin'er......"
"It's not your fault...... Vice Dean, I really want to go to that kid and theorize...... I know it's not what an adult should be like when I can't get along with a child, but doing something like bullying is the same as what the inmates in the cells do. Lin'er is such a good child, what if she leaves a psychological shadow and follows this child for a lifetime? That kid must get the punishment he deserves! The woman stood up and looked at the vice president, Lin'er's red eyes were even a little dull, she didn't seem to hear what they said, she looked out of the door, a golden little man came into her eyes, the golden little man tilted his head to look at her, the golden eyes were distressed and not wide open, he didn't come in, just looked like that, no one knew why it appeared, and no one could see him, except Lin'er.
Lin'er looked at him, her heart was still like ashes, the tears in her eyes were condensed in the corners of her eyes, crystal clear, she no longer had any strength, she couldn't speak, she couldn't do anything. She looked at the man and the woman, the two soon-to-be parents, and the tears still did not disperse.
"I can't excuse myself, Lin'er was bullied last night and I didn't rush to stop it in the first place, as for that kid who has been taught repeatedly, has not changed, there is no punishment to make him correct, we have tried...... He's still young, and there's nothing we can do with him...... He gave up on himself, even if you see him, there is nothing you can do......" The vice president could only touch Lin'er's head over and over again, what happened on the Internet yesterday had shaken her heart, the fat boy named Chang Yufeng led a group of people to pull Lin'er's hair, they even punched and kicked, this was beyond her cognition, she had no way to rush over and slap the group of children, the security guard didn't know where she went, and the little nurse was not there, sometimes, when this feeling of powerlessness really happened, No one is immune.
"Nor can we let our children bear his sins! What a little brute! The man punched the wall again in a hurry, and it seemed that the only way he could vent was like this.
"I don't know how Lin'er was intimidated or bullied by that boy last night, I only know that my Lin'er was surrounded and bullied by them! I had to do something! I can't look at the poor child like this, I feel bad, as the child's adoptive mother, I have to teach her a lesson for the person who bullied her, it's my responsibility! The woman's eyes were red, and she motioned for the vice president to lead the way.
The vice president hugged Lin'er, Lin'er hugged her tightly, she got up, her back was no longer straight, she looked at the man and woman whose face was already dark, and walked out of the room step by step, the man and woman followed behind her, unable to say anything.
At the moment when they went out, the golden little man stretched out his hand to hold Lin'er's hanging hand, and the golden hand passed through it, like smoke. The little golden man was sad and surprised, and his sad golden pupils were full of sad her.
The little golden man chased after him and came to the room, he watched the woman scolding at the ears of the girl with buckteeth, and watched the man and the fat boy scuffle together, he suddenly felt that this absurd world was so absurd.
He slowly walked to the side of the vice dean, he looked at Lin'er's face, stroking, Lin'er looked at him, the corners of his mouth were a little smiling, but he was still too tired to raise the corners of his mouth.
She smiled miserably. He saw it, but he couldn't do anything.
