middle aged

Yan Nan stopped talking, just lowered his head, staring blankly at the Coke cans on the coffee table that he had squeezed into iron pieces, and his mother called one after another, like a prank, asking him to confide these things in front of his teacher The unknown pressure hidden in my heart for many years.Although there are still heartaches and sorrows when mentioning the past, Yan Nan is more of a relief to confide and a release of pressure.

The momentary silence in the small apartment was embarrassing. Although Mo Pingfan could understand Yan Nan's past, he had always been a clumsy person and never said nice words to comfort others. At this time, he just walked to the kitchen silently, He changed to a glass of warm water and handed it to Yan Nan.

"Drink some hot water. The teacher is not very good at comforting people, and I don't know what to say to make you feel better." Mo Fanfan said apologetically.

"No, teacher, I am already very happy if you are willing to listen to me talk about these things." Yan Nan took the water, and slightly loosened her frowning brows, showing a little immaturity that should be at this age .

"Mr. Mo, I'm actually not afraid of your jokes." Yan Nan lowered her head embarrassedly: "I have always liked biology, otherwise I would not have learned it when I chose a major during the college entrance examination. They all like to sit at the back, but I always listen to your lectures." Yan Nan rubbed her nose, seeming a little shy.

"Huh?" Mo Pingfan knew it in his heart. Although he was lying on the table in class on weekdays, half-closed his eyes and looked absent-minded, after leading him a few experiments, he had already seen that , the kid is still very interested in this subject. "Since I like this subject, why do I sometimes fall asleep in class?"

"Sometimes I work part-time and stay up late, so sometimes I can't hold on during the day, but teacher, I will definitely change it in the future."

"Then run out to play games in the middle of the night?"

"Sometimes the pressure is too great, so I want to go out to vent, but don't worry, teacher, I will never go again." Yan Nan rubbed the back of his head and promised Mo Fanfan swearingly.

"Okay, I'll see how you perform in the future. In addition, if the part-time job will affect your schooling, you can quit. If you want, you can help me in the laboratory during the summer vacation. I can give you a daily subsidy according to the standard of a student assistant. You can learn a little more, too."

"That's great, thank you teacher!" Yan Nan looked at Mo Pingfan in surprise, her joy was beyond words, "Mr. Mo, do you know that since the day you brought me and Xiangqian back from the police station, I have Yes, you are a good teacher. Unlike other teachers."

"Oh? Why, are you prejudiced against other teachers?"

"In fact, Teacher Han is also very good. Although she often scolds us, I also know that she wants us well. But Teacher Mo, my former teacher was not like this. I used to get hurt often. At that time, many teachers saw it. I also know that my mother will beat me when she is drunk, but many of them turn a blind eye, but I can't blame them, who wants to take care of other people's housework?"

"Yan Nan, the past is over, don't worry too much about it. Fortunately, you are grown up now and can take care of yourself. Forget about the past if you can," Mo Fanfan comforted.

"Teacher..." Yan Nan smiled wryly: "I want to forget too, but I can't forget... Sometimes when I dream, it's my mother chasing and beating me full of alcohol."

Mo Fanfan kept silent, forgetting as soon as he wanted, how could it be so easy, isn't he still bound by the past and unable to get rid of it?

"Teacher... the final exam is coming soon. If there is something I don't know, can I come and ask you?" Yan Nan folded his left and right hands on the glass in front of him, rubbing it uneasily. Mo Fanfan thought of Yan Nan just now. The look in his eyes, the kind of ambiguous and shy eyes, made him feel a pain in his heart, and he almost refused.

However, after all, this child is a child who has a similar experience with himself. If he rejects him so straightforwardly, I am afraid that he will not even have this kind of self-motivation.

"Usually in the laboratory, you can ask me any questions, or you can come to the office to find me. You all have my mobile phone number. If you don't know how to do the questions, just call me. .” Secretly rejecting the possibility of him being alone in the small apartment with himself, Mo Fanfan replied calmly.

However, Yan Nan didn't seem to see the teacher's intention at all. Seeing that the teacher agreed to his request, a satisfied smile hung on his face unabashedly.

"Thank you teacher!" Yan Nan suddenly stood up from the sofa, and the 1.9-meter tall man looked really scary.He straightly bowed a 90° bow to Mo Fanfan. The big ceremony was too sudden. Mo Fanfan couldn't hold back his laughter and said, "Okay, okay, don't be so polite to the teacher, the teacher has to thank you for helping me Change the dressing." He shook his injured left hand and said with a smile.

"It's getting late, Mr. Mo, go to bed early, and I won't bother you."

"Okay, go back and read a book, go to bed early." Mo Pingfan sent Yan Nan out of the door of the small apartment, watched him go down the stairs, and then closed the door.

"Hey... I hope this kid just sincerely wants to learn more from me." After washing up, lying on his soft little bed, Mo Fanfan looked at his almost perfect left hand and said to himself It's just that the child's bright eyes are too dazzling and familiar, which makes Mo Fanfan still have lingering fears and find it difficult to calm down.

The final exam week lasts about two weeks. Because of his hand injury, Mo Fanfan, who should be the busiest at this time, has become more relaxed. Dean Zhang Jinkou has already opened the exam papers and won’t let him do it. Then the director of the teaching group He also gave him a favor - he didn't need to invigilate the examination and change the test papers, but he only needed to do some work such as patrol examinations.

This afternoon, Mo Fanfan was idling in the apartment, when suddenly, his phone vibrated.

"Hey?"

"Pingfan, are you in the apartment?"

"Brother?" On the other side of the phone was Mo Pingfan's senior brother, Hui Matsumoto, "I'm in the apartment"

"Then open the door for me quickly, I'm at your door."

"Huh?" Mo Pingfan hung up the phone, ran to the door of the apartment in two or three steps, opened the door, and saw Matsumoto Hui dragging a large brown suitcase, looking at him tiredly.

"Brother, why are you here?" Although Mo Fanfan was surprised, he was also very happy. Since the Chinese New Year, Mo Fanfan hadn't seen Matsumoto Hui. This time he came here suddenly, and he didn't expect it at all.

"Look at your hand, can I just come and take a look? Careless, you hid it for me during the video chat last time. Like a child." Matsumoto Hui scolded Mo Fanfan while Dragging his suitcase into this small apartment.During the video a few days ago, I found the gauze wrapped around his hands. This man probably hid his hands behind his back. He is really a worry-free guy.

"Brother, Xiaoshang, why did you come to see me just for this?" Matsumoto Hui has always been used to scolding Mo Pingfan as soon as he entered the door, but Mo Pingfan knew that the worse the scolding, the more worried the senior brother would be. he.

"The teacher will come to China next week to participate in an academic exchange meeting. He asked me to come over here to communicate with the partners here. After seeing your hand last time, the teacher asked me to come here a few days earlier to see you first. This is not reassuring, what happened to the hands? Is it serious?" Matsumoto Hui put down the suitcase, pulled Mo Fanfan to sit on the sofa, looked at his hands, and asked.

In the past few days, Yan Nan's final exams, and Mo Pingfan's burns are also recovering well, so he declined Yan Nan's kindness to come over every day to help him apply medicine. Although his right hand can also handle the dressing change process, it's just a bandage The technique is far worse than Yan Nan's, and his left hand is still wrapped like a rice dumpling, which looks a bit horrible.

"It's okay, brother. It's just a burn. It's not serious. I'm not very good at bandaging myself. It's just a few extra layers. If you don't believe me, take it apart and have a look."

Matsumoto Teru untied the bandage on Mo Fanfan's left hand and saw that the wound had begun to form a thin layer of blood scab. Although it looked a little scary, at least it was recovering.

"How did you get burned?"

"...When I was doing the experiment, I accidentally...was caught by the alcohol lamp..." Mo Fanfan watched Matsumoto Hui's face getting more and more ugly, and his voice became smaller and smaller. His experimental operation was brought out by his senior brother back then. To make such a low-level mistake at this time, it's really no wonder the brother's face is so ugly.

"You, are you living more and more now? Can such a simple operation as the alcohol lamp go wrong?" Although he felt sorry for Mo Fanfan, Matsumoto Hui was not soft-spoken when he taught him a lesson.

"People say that people who fall in love have a negative IQ. It's true. Ever since you got together with the kid surnamed Qi, have you been overwhelmed by emotions and can't work anymore?" Matsumoto Hui nodded to Mo Fanfan. Forehead, said angrily.

Mo Pingfan listened, but couldn't laugh anymore. Apart from the two of them, he didn't say much about his separation from Qi Yunze. Even the elder brother who always talked about everything, he chose to hide it. But now, it seems that there is no need to hide anything.

"Brother... He and I are separated after all..."

"Separated...separated?!" As expected, Matsumoto was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth. "How do you say that we separated? Could it be that the kid surnamed Qi can't bear the pressure anymore?"

"It's not him, it's me. When I think of the two children in his family, when I think of the guilt I felt when I was with him when I was a child, it's too painful. I really can't bear it."

"...Since this is the case, let's separate. If you break up early, it will save you hardship. Then when do you plan to return to Japan?"
