MTL - Is the End Really Coming?-Chapter 16 It's over, the family leaves
"…"
"…"
Father Lin was really embarrassed.
The corners of his mouth kept twitching, and he couldn't express the anger in his heart.
After staying there for a few seconds,
On the side, Mother Lin couldn't help it.
Her expression has softened a lot, but she still maintains a tough and arrogant voice: "Okay, the apology is still sincere, so that's it... But let me tell you, you can't pay less than a cent!"
Father Zhou nodded: "Of course, we will take full responsibility..."
Now, Father Lin finally sighed dully and said, "Since this is the case, we will have no problem."
He scanned the audience and nodded one by one, "Thank you, leaders."
Finally, his eyes fell on Su Zhiyun, who was standing there for a long time, and gave her a deep look.
"And this... Professor Su, thank you for your mediation."
Then he took Mother Lin's hand: "Let's go."
The two turned around and went out.
Seeing that there was no one in the hallway, Mother Lin walked two steps with high heels, close to Father Lin's ear, and whispered, "Husband, since they are willing to compensate, let's do something with Arui's medical record? If it is a minor injury, that Zhou Qi No matter how you make merit, you have to keep the case, otherwise it will be too unreasonable..."
But Father Lin glanced at her and shook his head indifferently: "Don't think about it, I don't want to waste any energy on this."
Mother Lin was taken aback for a moment: "Why! You don't care about the money, you have to fight for your son, right?"
"Fighting?" Father Lin stopped and said calmly, "Because your trash son is too unsatisfactory, I don't want to waste time..."
He looked at Lin's mother: "The whole thing is because of that girl, and because of her, Lin Rui has been arguing with a child from an ordinary family for so long, and it's still to this point... It's just embarrassing me. Exhausted! Even when he came out of the hospital without authorization, it was because he faintly heard the girl slander him when he fainted. He was angry and wanted to reason when he woke up. When I rushed to the hospital, he had already run back by himself. School…"
Mother Lin was unhappy: "Because what happened to a girl? You didn't say anything when Arui made those girlfriends, but now you're just like that because you didn't catch up with that girl? I think you're in a bad mood, and I can't solve this matter, so I say so..."
"Shut up." Father Lin narrowed his eyes and spit out two cold words.
Mother Lin's face turned pale, and there were still a lot of unreasonable things she wanted to say, but she couldn't say it anymore.
Because she knew that Father Lin was really angry...
Finally, her voice trembled a little: "In the end, what's going on..."
Father Lin shook his head: "Do you know who that girl is? Her surname is Li, and there is only one person named Li in Zhonghai. We can't afford it..."
Cold sweat dripped from Mother Lin's forehead: "Maybe it's a coincidence? It happens to be the same surname?"
Father Lin shook his head again, looking at her with a somewhat unclear meaning: "That Zhou Qi's family lives in Taoyang, and that girl has a different relationship with their family... As far as I know, the surname is Li. Yes, it's also from Taoyang..."
The corridor was empty and deserted, and with the words of Father Lin, Mother Lin's face became paler and paler.
squeak...
at this time,
The sound of the door opening sounded, and the two of them looked at the sound subconsciously.
It was Su Zhiyun who came out of the reception room. When she turned around, she saw the two of them, nodded lightly, and then walked away with strict steps.
"…"
Father Lin didn't say anything else and left, while Mother Lin stayed where he was, hesitated for a few seconds, and followed her with gritted teeth...
…
Main building, lobby on the first floor.
The sun slanted westward, and the light coming in from the outside glowed an orange-yellow color, dyeing the entire hall golden.
Many students and teachers came and went, some had brisk conversations, some had serious faces.
but,
Their eyes are always drawn to the two girls sitting in the corner seating area, because these two girls are so beautiful...
It was Li Qing and Zhou Xin.
At this point, they had completely calmed down, so they returned to the main building lobby to wait and took the opportunity to talk about some serious business.
"...So, your brother said that the end of the world is coming? He said a lot of well-founded evidence, and he said that he might never see him again in the future? And your family believes it?"
Li Qing asked with a slight frown.
Zhou Xin, who was sitting across from her across a small round table, nodded, her face a little helpless: "Yeah, what he said was very serious, we have to believe it, alas, but now, how can there be doomsday? My brother must be Who was deceived... By the way, Sister Li Qing, didn't my brother send you a message? He likes you so much, he should have told you about it..."
"Well, it seems, you told me, I didn't pay much attention..." Li Qing looked away and replied in a vague tone.
Feeling a little uncomfortable, what's the matter?
Such a big thing, he didn't even mention it to himself!
Obviously, he had offended Lin Rui for his own sake, but he didn't even explain it. So far, he hasn't even sent a message back to him...
Are you still angry?
Are you angry that you rejected his confession?
I'm so stingy! I don't even blame you for being impulsive...
And just when she was thinking wildly, Zhou Xin, who was sitting opposite, sighed again: "Sure enough, if my brother forgets, no one will forget you... But it's fortunate that you didn't run away with him, otherwise you would be embarrassed, Alas, I don't know how he's doing now, although that Professor Su said he's fine, I'm still worried about him..."
Li Qingben wanted to say something else, but seeing her cute appearance, her mind was completely occupied with tenderness, she couldn't help but comforted in a soft voice: "Don't worry, Xiner, you can always trust Professor Su, she said it's fine. , it's really okay..."
"..." Zhou Xin nodded hesitantly, her face brightened a bit, "That's good..."
In fact, she was still worried, but seeing Li Qing so earnestly comforting herself, it was difficult for her to express her negative emotions.
Besides... In fact, the little girl didn't realize it herself, because of various reasons, she had long been convinced by the "very powerful" Professor Su. Li Qing's description caused Professor Su to be so high in her heart, so high...well, so high that she was about to catch up with her brother.
So, after hearing Li Qing say this, her nervousness and worry really eased a lot.
"Call."
Zhou Xin sighed lightly and collected her emotions.
He looked around, then looked out the window, and finally his eyes fell on Li Qing's face.
Then, he suddenly blinked his eyes and said in a soft and cute tone, "Sister Li Qing, you are so kind~"
Li Qing blushed: "What, what's wrong? Where am I better..."
"You're all right, but unfortunately..." Zhou Xin held her face and leaned forward, her little face was a little angry: "It's all my brother's ignorance, I don't know how to think about you at all... I still remember it to this day, you said college He didn't want to fall in love before graduation, but he confessed to you at this time. Isn't this asking for trouble! He still looks so depressed and sad... Hey, it's so angry to say it, why is he so stupid! "
When Li Qing heard the words, she couldn't help laughing. She actually explained that she didn't blame your brother.
Because, the situation was indeed a bit special when she confessed, and Zhou Qi was forced to do nothing... But she knew that the girl in front of her was not really saying that Zhou Qi was stupid...
So she could only helplessly say: "You, you were so worried just now, but now you are complaining..."
"Hmph, it's time to complain. He did these stupid things and made me worry about it for so long..." Zhou Xin pouted slightly, looking puffed up, but her **** and smart eyes kept blinking: "However, Sister Li Qing, you must still like my brother, right? He's an idiot, don't blame him, I'll go back and tell him, let him wait until he graduates from college and then confess to you..."
Li Qing blushed again when he heard the words.
He secretly retorted in his heart.
Who would promise him...
I just don't like that bad guy...
But he faltered and said, "Okay, okay..."
Zhou Xin couldn't help laughing, her eyes curved into a bridge, and the corner of Xiao Qiao's mouth was about to say something.
at this time,
She suddenly saw Li Qing's face change.
Zhou Xin followed Li Qing's gaze and found that a couple had just walked out of the corridor, the man's face was gloomy, and the woman's face was sad...
It was Lin Rui's parents!
Immediately, Zhou Xin's face became tense.
Until this time, the kind of regret and self-blame that she had just beaten came to her heart, and for a while, timidity and fear appeared in her dark eyes.
Li Qing noticed it, she glanced at Zhou Xin, then at Lin Rui's parents, her beautiful little face suddenly became serious.
Just when the couple looked at them, she got up and walked towards them.
The fairy-like white dress Ping Ping swayed, her long black hair jumped, and the elf-like Miao Man figure attracted the attention of many people.
Li Qing walked in front of the two of them and said in a condensed voice:
"I'll just say something straight... Your two sons, just now, actually pestered me again, and he was still touching me in public, so I beat him again, maybe now again I was sent to the hospital... Compensation is all right, but now I just want to ask you one thing, can you take care of your son so that he doesn't come out and be embarrassed!?"
Swish—
The hall became quiet for a while.
Many people were surprised.
Because Li Qing looks a little more mature than ordinary college students, and her elegant and graceful appearance naturally carries a serene temperament, but, no matter what, she is facing two adults who are not ordinary just by looking at their clothes. people…
They couldn't help but tug at Li Qing.
However, just when everyone thought something was about to explode.
Father Lin spoke in a low tone: "You're right, Miss Li, this incompetent son really gave me a lot of trouble, it's his fault for causing you trouble, there's no need for compensation, let him learn a lesson, You deserve to be beaten a little... Well, your father is Li Kong, I know him, and I respect him very much. He is a very powerful person. When I have time, I will bring Lin Rui to visit and pay homage..."
After speaking, he pulled Mother Lin, whose face was very ugly, and left.
"…"
The onlookers were discussing.
Li Qing breathed a sigh of relief, returned to Zhou Xin, and whispered, "It's alright, Xiner... Since they have all come out, the matter should be over, let's go and see..."
Zhou Xin nodded, but she couldn't help but look in the direction where Lin Rui's parents were leaving, her eyes full of worry.
"Sister Li Qing, I'm sorry, I caused you trouble..."
She said in a low voice.
"Okay..." Li Qing took her arm and said with a smile, "It's alright, let's go, let's find uncles and aunts."
"Uh-huh…"
The two little beauties left under the amazed and envious eyes of everyone,
The entire hall suddenly lost a scene.
…
However,
The two did not walk into the reception room as expected to witness anything.
But just as they came to the corridor, they met a group of people who had already come out of the reception room. Among them, Zhou Qi's parents had obviously looked better, and they were still talking politely with several school leaders.
And Guan Xiao's cute baby face is much more relaxed than before, and there is even a faint hint of ... pride?
Li Qing and Zhou Xin looked at each other for a while.
But the sensible ones didn't ask much, just silently joined the ranks.
Under the watchful eyes of many students and teachers, a group of people walked out of the main building all the way, and then came to the school's highest-end Minghu restaurant canteen for a meal.
During this period, several school leaders even arranged accommodation for the three Zhou family members.
Of course, it was rejected.
The three members of the Zhou family all said that since Zhou Qi can't come back for a while, then it's better to go home first and not bother the school here...
The dean of the department said with a smile.
...Unconsciously, two hours passed.
When the sun was about to set, everything was quiet, and a group of people came to the parking lot.
Li Qing followed Guan Xiao, quietly watching Zhou Qi's parents who were waving goodbye to several school leaders.
Until now, she didn't know what these people were talking about in the reception room, and what happened after Professor Su passed.
All I know is that Zhou Qi seems to have done something extraordinary, which resulted in his punishment being waived, and even a commendation meeting...
And the attitude of those leaders is also very different from before. Their faces are no longer rigid, and their attitude of "doing things according to the rules" may be a little serious and formal, but more of goodwill.
This seems to be enough...
Soon, the polite farewell was over, and then Zhou's father and Zhou's mother turned around and said to Guan Xiao: "Mr. Guan, since Professor Su is busy, we will not disturb her. You must thank her for us..."
Guan Xiao nodded again and again and said yes.
Li Qing just looked at it like this, and only took a step forward after they had finished speaking, and politely said, "Goodbye, uncle and aunt, please pay attention to safety on the road..."
The husband and wife laughed and said repeatedly, "Okay, when Xiaoqing returns to Taoyang, don't forget to come to our house..."
While talking, they also got into the car.
"Sister Li Qing, then I'm leaving..." Zhou Xin obediently got into the car and sat in the back row, waving her hand from the open window.
Li Qing stood by the car and nodded with a smile: "Mmmm, goodbye Xiner!"
"Om..."
The sound of the engine sounded, and the car left with everyone watching.
—
The red glow burns out on the horizon, and the sky gradually dims.
The street lamps turned on one by one.
On the broad road,
Father Zhou drove the car calmly.
In front of you, it is divided into two tones:
One is the traffic in the same direction ahead, a dense red.
The other is the opposite traffic in the lane next door, one by one weak warm light, converging into a sea of stars.
At this time, it had been more than half an hour after leaving Zhonghai University, and the car kept rubbing against the trend of evening rush hour, and finally it was about to leave the city, but the car was always quiet.
Finally, when the car stopped again,
Father Zhou casually glanced at the rearview mirror and found that Zhou Xin had fallen asleep reclining in the back row.
Then he sighed lightly, and said, "This stinky boy... this time, he's in the limelight."
Mother Zhou gave him a blank look when she heard the words, and her voice was gentle and angry: "What kind of limelight is this? It worries me to death."
"Haha..." Father Zhou smiled helplessly.
The car fell silent again.
But Zhou's mother didn't want to be silent anymore. When the car started again, she started talking again: "You say, is what Professor Su said is true or false? I think it's too exaggerated. Xiaoqi is a liberal arts student. I don’t have any computer technology, how can I go to the Internet and see the secrets of foreign countries? But I see that those leaders seem to believe it, and I am too embarrassed to ask…”
Father Zhou shook his head when he heard the words: "I don't know, but the public security bureau didn't say it clearly, it's possible... You forgot? When we called the public security bureau later, they said that there was no accurate conclusion on this matter, so let me Let's not worry, some things are inconvenient to reveal...then it may be true."
"Ah, but I don't want Zhou Qi to be in the limelight at all," Zhou's mother said with some concern: "You have been talking for so long, and he has no news at all. I heard that Professor Su said that he might be sent to some secret base in the capital. Go, what are you going to do, he's a child..."
"..." Father Zhou didn't answer, just nodded in approval.
at this time,
A lazy and soft voice came from behind the car: "Don't worry... You can always trust Professor Su..."
"??"
The husband and wife were stunned for a moment, one looked in the rearview mirror and the other looked back.
"Xiner, are you awake?"
"Where did you learn this from..."
Listening to her parents' inquiries, Zhou Xin rubbed her confused eyes and said, "Sister Li Qing told me that she said that Professor Su is the most powerful professor in Zhonghai University, and can do everything well, so there is not a single classmate or teacher. I don't admire her... So, you can always trust her."
"Yeah, that's really amazing."
Listening to their daughter's serious and cute words, the husband and wife both laughed.
But when he smiled, his heart really relaxed a lot.
Although their impression of Su Zhiyun was only a few minutes in the reception room, his steady and powerful ability to control the field was really admirable.
As Zhou Xin said, she... is really a very good professor.
Thinking like this, Mother Zhou was so excited that she started explaining to her daughter what happened after Professor Su went to the reception room.
Zhou Xin didn't hear anything at first, but her eyes became brighter as she listened, and she couldn't help exclaiming. One moment she said that her brother was amazing, and then she said that Professor Su was amazing, and when she heard it, stars appeared in her eyes.
The atmosphere in the car suddenly became warm and happy.
In this way, it seems to cater to the mood of the family of three, and the road has become smooth, and the traffic has been blocked for more than half an hour. …
At this moment, Zhou Xin suddenly asked a question.
"But... Since it's not the end of the world, rebirth, and my brother only learned about foreign secrets through the Internet... How did he know about those things in our family?"
…
