MTL - Why is the Bright Moon Shining?-Chapter 14
Xu Can pressed his footsteps and went out.
Going out and leaving the studio, sitting in a cafe around, reciting words for two hours, thinking that they should be done with whatever they are doing.
Taking out his mobile phone, Xu Can called Li Mingjuan but recognized it first.
After being connected, I heard her natural voice saying that she had just returned from a business trip and was now in the office.
It was not early, and she didn't bother to say that she was on the road, so she just told her that she was there.
Li Mingjuan came downstairs to pick up Xu Can.
He gave Li Mingjuan the key, and Li Mingjuan smiled and said that he wanted to take Xu Can to dinner. Xu Can said intentionally or unintentionally, "No, it's getting late, you'd better take someone else to dinner."
—
Xu Can walked to the bus stop and confirmed that the last bus time should be able to catch up. The cold wind blew her cheeks, and she raised her hand to put her hat on.
Suddenly, I thought of Tong Mingyue.
In fact, it is not sudden. She strictly controls the frequency of her visits, and deliberately makes her busy. It is just a kind of deep and careful thinking hidden in the fragments. It must not exceed the line of dependence between teachers and students, and must not get carried away or act rashly.
Xu Can raised his lips and sighed a little, how could he be fooled by Li Mingjuan for a while.
Really like what it's like.
Is she still not clear?
She has to think more about every smile, but she doesn't dare to worry too much. It is impossible to continue to be friends the next second you know you are rejected.
How dare you make it clear.
…
Xu Can smoothly waited until the last bus.
After getting in the car, find a seat in the back, look out the glass window, and the night scene of the lights all the way flows past.
Her eyes were blurred, and her thoughts were scattered along the bumpy road.
Thinking of the first time she saw Tong Mingyue that year.
Because she jumped into high school.
The teachers all use her as an example. Xu Can still doesn't understand what flattery is, but he just feels that he can't live up to everyone's expectations.
Only by reading, Xu Can has never really lost. Her requirement for herself is the first place, and if she loses a point, she doesn't understand. But students who are not geniuses themselves are under great pressure.
A quiz is over.
Xu Can was walking home when he received a call from his grandmother, telling her not to come back yet, because the debt collectors were blocking the door and splashing paint. Asked where Dad was, Dad had been hiding in the field.
Just finished the exam, when I was exhausted.
Xu Can walked halfway, the sky was completely dark, he could not see the sun when he looked up, and the street lights were dim. At that time, she was only fourteen years old, a little girl with a heavy backpack, where else could she go.
No way, she quietly went back to school.
Afraid that the security guard would stop him from asking questions, Xu Can took a detour from the back of the playground and climbed over by stepping on the gaps between the bricks of the fence. Catching his waist again, staying away from the place where the teacher would appear, hiding in the stairwell on the third floor of the cafeteria, where no one is monitoring the blind spot.
In her high school, there is no evening self-study, the cafeteria closes very early, and everyone gets off work after 6:30. The stairwell was locked, and no one could go up to the third floor if he couldn't go to the third floor.
Xu Can was dumbfounded.
Time passed by minute by minute, getting quieter and quieter, the light in the corridor slowly disappeared, and the five fingers could not be seen.
Only a dark shadow loomed over him.
It seems that there is only one left in the world, she has been abandoned and forgotten.
Xu Can cried when he thought that he would not be able to go home, and because he was really tired, the crying was just silent tears.
She walked downstairs crying, carrying a heavy schoolbag on her shoulders, not knowing where to go.
Subconsciously want to go to the most familiar place to stay.
When I walked to the class, I found that the door was locked firmly.
Xu Can stood at the door, and his heart was a little broken.
After conscientiously confirming it, she found that the on-duty student was very conscientious, and she really couldn't get in, and her tears rolled down her cheeks.
It doesn't mean that when God closes a door, he will leave a window. Why doesn't he even give her a window?
The big ones, even the long eyelashes are glued together, and the road ahead cannot be seen clearly.
Xu Can just walked out in a daze, out of the teaching building. In front of the empty teaching building, it was dark and silent, a completely different atmosphere from the daytime.
The grade display board on the back also has the ranking list of the last exam. Xu Can, who was the first in high school.
Xu Can shrank his shoulders and sat on the steps, his face hidden in his palms, he couldn't help crying. No one saw it anyway, and she hadn't been able to cry generously for a long time.
Unexpectedly, a voice suddenly appeared above his head and asked, "What's the matter with you?"
At that moment, Xu Can was really frightened and trembled.
He looked up in confusion, thinking that he was about to meet the witch in the fairy tale who deceived the sad child.
Through the film of tears, she raised her chin, and saw a young woman in a white shirt and black skirt, bending slightly to look at her.
Looking up, Xu Can subconsciously took a breath.
"Why haven't you gone home yet?"
The voice is gentle and soft, so sweet that a crying child can be distracted for a moment.
"I..." Xu Can stumbled, of course he didn't want to tell the truth, just after the exam, he subconsciously said, "I didn't do well in the exam, I don't want to go home."
Tong Mingyue curled her lips, that kind of official and gentle smile.
In the dark night, it is still warm.
Silence for a few seconds.
She didn't seem to be good at saying the most basic comforting words of teachers, so she just took out a tissue from her bag and handed it to her.
Xu Can was stunned and did not respond.
She actually felt in a daze that someone should wipe her tears away at this time. I don't know why I feel this way, it seems like it's played like that on TV.
So she looked at Tong Mingyue, but didn't reach out to take it.
The two stared at each other for a few seconds across the thick darkness.
Tong Mingyue's eyes moved slightly, she leaned over as if she understood what she meant, and bent her lips.
She squatted down, lightly supporting her chin with one hand, and gently wiped the tears from her cheeks with a tissue.
Xu Can came back to his senses.
She felt a little embarrassed, and turned her head slightly.
She lowered her eyes and wanted to take a tissue from her hand, but when she reached out, she inevitably reached Tong Mingyue's hand.
As soon as Xu Can finished crying, he couldn't help but sob.
She coughed a few times, slightly embarrassed.
"Which class are you in?"
Tong Mingyue put the tissue in her hand, stroked her skirt, and sat down beside Xu Can.
Xu Can didn't answer, this question was too much like the teacher's tone.
Waited a while.
Tong Mingyue sighed softly and turned to say something else. Start with examples of particularly important things outside the book, and then talk about the classic encouragement stories familiar to students. All kinds of side hints and positive guidance, in short, they comforted her very seriously for a long time.
Xu Can nodded tired.
It's not that she really failed the exam...
In the end, Tong Mingyue wanted to take her home.
Xu Can called home and vaguely confirmed with his grandma if he could go home. He got a positive answer and the person blocking the door had already left.
So she carried her schoolbag and repeatedly assured Tong Mingyue that her home was very close, so she didn't need to trouble her to deliver it.
She left under the watch of Tong Mingyue.
Come home that day and wait until everything is done.
Xu Can was lying in the bed, and then he began to think slowly, who was the beautiful big sister whom he met at night.
Definitely not a teacher, otherwise she wouldn't be impressed at all. After thinking about it, Xu Can didn't think of any reliable answer. When I saw her, I was crying in an oxygen-deficient state, and I recalled it later, and even had some unreal feelings.
Xu Can fell asleep with this matter in his heart.
When I woke up the next day, I still remembered this incident in my head, and the remaining unreal feeling became heavier.
If Tong Mingyue doesn't appear anymore and time passes, Xu Can recalls this scene again, maybe he really regards it as his hallucination after he was under too much pressure at the time.
Xu Can went to school as usual.
When Tong Mingyue was brought into the classroom by the head teacher and introduced to everyone, she said that she was the substitute teacher of their class and was responsible for teaching chemistry in the second half of the semester. Xu Can's eyes widened, and for the first time he suspected something was wrong with his eyesight.
She was wearing a light-colored dress, her jet-black hair hung down on her chest, her eyebrows and eyes were like ink and blue, and her writing style was poetic and light.
But the curvature of the double eyelid is perfect, which makes the eyes big and bright, making people unable to move their eyes.
Didn't wait for the students to be amazed.
