right eye life

Chapter 1. Returning to China

When Zhang Shiyu got off the plane, it was exactly one o'clock in the afternoon, and the sun was so bright that people couldn't keep their eyes open.He was dressed casually, with a backpack on his back, and sunglasses as he walked out of the airport, dragging a small suitcase behind him. He looked like a student.So the teacher who came to pick him up held a sign and looked around the crowd for a long time but couldn't find him. It was Zhang Shi and his sharp eyes who saw the sign and walked over to say hello.

"Hello, are you a teacher from the Information Institute of Z University?" Zhang Shiyu took off his sunglasses, put on ordinary glasses, and stood in front of the man holding the sign.

It was a male teacher who came to pick him up from the airport. He looked around thirty, and he was surprised when he saw Zhang Shiyu: "Uh...yes, are you..."

"I'm a new teacher at the Information Institute of Z University. I received an email saying that someone will pick up the plane, so I came to ask." Zhang Shiyu looked at the man's disbelief, and handed over the letter of appointment and some messy things. The proof was handed over.

The man looked left and right at a pile of materials, compared the ID photos for a long time, and then hurriedly explained, "Oh, oh, yes! That's right, so you are the new teacher Zhang! I am from the Department of Electronics, Z University My teacher's name is Zhao Ling. Teacher Zhang looks so young, I thought..."

Zhang Shiyu took over the conversation with a smile, "I went to school early, and I have been staying in school since I graduated. Maybe it looks like Xiao Zhang. Teacher Zhao will just call me Xiao Zhang." He reached out to shake Zhao Ling and exchanged pleasantries. After a few words, I got into the car.

City C is Zhang Shi and his hometown. He left his hometown to study abroad when he was 14 years old. It took him more than ten years to return to his hometown before he realized that things were different. I don't have much emotion, and I can't help but sigh that the world is changing.

The airport is in the south of the city, and the school is in the west of the city. It took nearly an hour to drive to the school.Zhao Ling handled the affairs very well. First, he took Zhang Shiyu to go through the relevant procedures according to the school's arrangement, then led him to the staff dormitory, and introduced to him where the school playground, cafeteria, supermarket, etc. were, and how to get there. After talking about the rules and regulations and precautions, I was ready to leave.Before leaving, I still didn't forget to add: "By the way, it's too late today, Xiao Zhang, you just arrived, take a rest first, and familiarize yourself with the environment by the way. Then don't forget that there is a reception banquet prepared for you in the courtyard. It will be tomorrow, you I am not familiar with the place, I will come to you tomorrow, and we will go there together."

Zhang Shiyu quickly expressed his thanks: "Thank you so much, Mr. Zhao. I didn't understand anything when I came here. Thanks to Mr. Zhao's help, I will treat you to dinner alone after a while. Thank you very much!"

Zhao Ling waved his hand: "They are all teachers from the same academy, so thank you very much. I have to go to the courtyard to hand in the materials, so I will leave first. We will talk another day."

"Well, okay, you are busy first, goodbye."

After seeing Teacher Zhao off, Zhang Shiyu took a look around.This is a small apartment, about 30 square meters, divided into upper and lower floors, the upper floor is a small attic, used as a bedroom, and the lower floor is a living room, kitchen and bathroom.After being unoccupied for a long time, a thick layer of dust accumulated on the floor and furniture.He didn't care too much, he kicked his backpack aside and leaned on the sofa in a daze.

Zhang Shiyu's left eye cannot see.

Very few people know about it.He was injured when he was a teenager, and his left eye became invisible. Although it looks good, but if you look closely, you will find that the left eye is dead, with no expression, and the eyeball can't move. It's just a decoration.Later, various Chinese and foreign experts successively tried to treat her, but they all had no effect, and gradually they ignored it, and got used to it after so many years.I only notice my left eye occasionally, and I still feel sorry for myself for a while.

Shouldn't have come back.Zhang Shiyu rubbed his eyes and thought. Although City C is his hometown, this hometown has never left him with any good memories.The feeling of being close to the hometown is because there are too many past events, and the feeling of changing things and changing people is too sad.But Zhang Shi and his hometown are timid, he is really afraid, he is afraid that he will be awakened in a dream, and he can't help shaking three times after waking up.

Returning to China this time is considered a coincidence and a sinful fate.Zhang Shihe, a postgraduate student in country A, stayed in the school to teach for less than a year after graduation, and a place for exchange and study with China came down from above.There are only two teachers in their department who can speak Chinese, and one of them is half-baked with 1/4 Chinese descent.No one wants to come to a country where they are not familiar with the language and language, so this opportunity of "exchange and learning" fell to Zhang Shiyu.He only found out that it was City C when he applied for a visa, but it was too late, so he came here out of nowhere.

Sure enough, there is a destiny in the dark, and what should come will not be avoided after all.Zhang Shiyu comforted himself in this way, and after thinking wildly for a while, he got up from the sofa and started to tidy up the house.

The house had not been lived in for a long time, and it was not popular at all. Zhang Shi and mopping the floor and wiping the furniture were busy until after eight o'clock in the evening, before they finally came up with a rough idea.He had been on the plane for nearly 20 hours, and he hadn't rested until now. He was so tired that he was almost exhausted, so he ordered a takeaway and ate it hastily. After taking a short shower, he threw himself on the bed.

Lie on the bed but can't fall asleep again.Although the beginning of autumn has passed in C City in August, it is still unbearably hot. Occasionally, a gust of wind will blow by, lift a small corner of the curtain, and it will disappear in less than a second.Zhang Shiyu stared at the corner of the curtain, climbed out of bed irritably, shut the window firmly with a "snap", then turned on the air conditioner, listening to the humming of the old air conditioner engine, lying on the bed straight Staring at the ceiling.

ten years.

It has been ten years since I left home when I was young, and now I finally come back.In this hometown, there have never been any good memories.Zhang Shi and his mother left early, and when he died, his eyes were wide open, as if he was about to stare out unwillingly.Zhang Shiyu was eight years old that year, knowing everything and knowing nothing.He watched the woman swallow her breath with her eyes wide open, and he was too scared to go forward.It wasn't until she was covered with a white cloth that Zhang Shiyu hugged her and cried loudly as if awakened.He had been dependent on his mother since he was a child, and at this time the only support was lost. He was shocked, frightened and sad, and cried for two or three hours until he passed out from crying.

Later, Zhang Shiyu's biological father finally showed up and took over his custody.Later, he was sent out of the country.

After thinking wildly for a long time, Zhang Shiyu finally fell asleep amidst the buzzing sound of the air conditioner.

Zhang Shihe took the plane for nearly 20 hours and didn't rest after arriving. In addition to the jet lag and other messy problems, he fell asleep until four o'clock in the afternoon before being woken up by knocking on the door.

In his dream, he vaguely dreamed that someone was beating drums, and the noise was disturbing. When he opened his eyes, he realized that someone was knocking on the door. Then he remembered that Mr. Zhao said he was coming yesterday, so he quickly got up, He plucked his hair randomly twice and went to open the door.

As soon as the door opened, it was indeed Zhao Ling. Zhao Ling was surprised when he saw Zhang Shiyu's appearance, "Xiao Zhang, you, you just woke up?"

Zhang Shiyu laughed while letting him in: "Yeah, I didn't sleep for 20 hours on the plane, so I slept a little bit this time."

"So that's how it is." Zhao Ling came in with some embarrassment, "Then what, Xiao Zhang, you haven't forgotten the reception banquet I told you yesterday, have you?"

"How can it be?" Zhang Shiyu took out the cup that he just washed yesterday from the kitchen table, poured a glass of water and brought it to Zhao Ling: "Mr. Zhao, I'm really sorry, I haven't had time to buy tea at home. Drink a glass of water, I'll go wash up and change clothes, I'll be fine soon."

"It's okay, you're busy." Zhao Ling took a sip of water from the cup.

After about a quarter of an hour, Zhang Shi and Zhang Shi came out of the bathroom refreshed, ate a few biscuits to pad their stomachs, and the two went out.

When they arrived at the private room, many teachers had already arrived. They were chatting at this time. Zhao Ling first introduced them to each other. Only then did Zhang Shiyu realize that not only the teachers from the school came this time, but also some teachers who had been cooperating with the school for a long time. business executives.He picked up the wine glass on the table and filled it with wine and said to everyone: "I'm really sorry for the delay and made you wait so long. I will punish myself for three glasses first. They are all taught by the same school. Teachers call me Let's go, Xiao Zhang, I will rely on the teachers to take care of me in the future." After speaking, he drank three glasses of white wine in a row.Seeing that he was cheerful and his face was a little better, everyone also held up their cups to salute. After exchanging greetings, the atmosphere became warmer.

Zhang Shiyu is a newcomer, and this time the dinner was specially organized for him, so he was poured wine in turn during the banquet, several bottles of white and red were poured down, no matter how good the drinker was, he was dizzy .The meal didn't end until it was close to twelve o'clock. Zhang Shiyu was drunk, reluctantly sent these teachers and executives to the car, watched their car drive away, and then slowly walked towards the school go.He drank too much and dared not take a taxi for fear that he would vomit in the car.

Fortunately, the school dormitory is not far from the hotel, and Zhang Shiyu arrived there after walking for more than an hour.When he arrived at the door of the house, he found that there were already several people waiting there. Before the drunken man could see the faces of those people clearly, a man came up to him and bowed first, "Shi and Young Master, Mr. I'll take you back."

Hearing Mr.'s word, Zhang Shiyu was shocked, and most of the wine was sober.He glanced at the man and said slowly:

"How did he know that I had returned to China?"

"This..." The man hesitated for a moment, "Shi and Young Master, sir is still waiting at home."

Zhang Shiyu sneered: "Whether he waits or not, what does it matter to me?" He glanced at the other people guarding the door of his house, all of them looked elite in suits, "Forget it, let's go." Let's go see your husband." The word "Sir" circled on the tip of his tongue, Zhang Shiyu laughed again, "What age is it, there are really people who call people like that." His voice was very low , only the man who was standing close heard it, his face was full of embarrassment, "Shi and Young Master, let's go."

Shen's house.Far away from the city center, it is built on the hillside, facing a small river, and the Feng Shui is very good.Looking up in the middle of the night, the stars in the sky are clearly visible one by one.Such a beautiful house, Zhang Shiyu frowned in boredom when standing in front of the door, wishing he could burn it down and burn it clean.This place is very big, the car drove into the gate and drove in for a few minutes before arriving at the main house. The person who picked him up opened the car door for him and whispered in his ear:

"Mr. is in the study on the third floor. Shi and the young master, you can go up directly."

Zhang Shiyu nodded: "I understand, I will trouble you."

The man said something that he didn't dare to take, and drove away.Zhang Shiyu looked up to the third floor, and sure enough, he saw a light was still on in a window, so he entered the door.It took another two hours to drive from the apartment where he lived, and it was already past three o'clock in the morning when he arrived, so the servants in the house must have gone to bed, leaving only a few lamps in the living room. The ground lamp was on for illumination.Zhang Shiyu went upstairs, pushed open the door of the study, and saw a man sitting at the computer desk and seemed to be working.

This is what they call "Mr." Shen Wu.

This Shen Wu is Zhang Shiyu's father.

An illegitimate child, this is the label Zhang Shiyu has carried since birth.

The memory of Zhang Shi and those before the age of five is only a small sky with wires intertwined.His mother was young and energetic, and was kicked out of her family because she was pregnant with him as an unmarried woman. Later, she never went back and went south to G City to work.In those days, having a child out of wedlock meant bearing a lifetime of shame.Zhang Shiyu remembered that her mother seemed to be a female worker in a garment factory, leaving early and returning late, and sometimes returning home at night without saying a word, crying all night long.At that time, the little Zhang Shiyu only dared to hide on the bed, sobbing secretly with his mother.They were always pointed at, although Zhang Shiyu didn't know what crime he and his mother had committed at that time.

Then, when Zhang Shiyu was eight years old, his mother died of illness.Then, when he met Shen Wu for the first time, he was taken to the Shen family and finally sent out of the country.

The Shen family didn't do business seriously in the early years, and they made a lot of money they should have earned and shouldn't have.Later, the elders of the previous generation of the Shen family found a good backer, and slowly whitewashed the Shen family.In Shen Wu's hands, Shen Jiaming's business is clean on the surface, but no one knows what's going on inside.

It's been whitewashed now, but Shen Wu was the one who licked blood from his father's knife in his early years.He was sitting in front of the computer desk upright like this, and he also carried an aura of calmness and prestige.

Counting it, Zhang Shiyu hadn't seen Shen Wu for more than ten years, not to mention meeting, even making a phone call or even sending an email.Because after all, even if something really happened, it would be arranged by Shen Wu's assistant, and Zhang Shiyu's matter was not serious enough for Shen Wu to intervene in person.

Even so, Zhang Shiyu's scalp was still numb when he saw Shen Wu.He knocked on the door, walked up to Shen Wu, bowed his head respectfully and called out, "Mr. Shen." Gritting his teeth, he stabilized the unconscious physical trembling.

Shen Wu glanced at Zhang Shiyu, then turned back to the computer screen, "Are you back?" He said casually, unable to distinguish the tone.

Zhang Shi and cold sweat were about to drip down, and his voice became more respectful, "Yes." The more casually he was, the more likely he was really angry.

Shen Wu didn't say anything else and concentrated on his work.Zhang Shiyu didn't dare to move, and stood obediently with his head bowed.He drank too much wine at night, and was frightened sober for a moment when he first saw Shen Wu. After a few minutes, he finally couldn't help but tilted to one side.

He staggered and almost fell, and woke up with a start. He touched his nose and stood up again. He sneaked a glance at Shen Wu, and found that the man was looking at him and laughing.So Zhang Shiyu had no choice but to laugh along with him, secretly thinking that it was a mistake to drink, and complaining that it was not good for Shen Wu to find someone at any time, and he preferred to look for people in the middle of the night.

"Go to bed when you're sleepy. I asked the housekeeper to clean up your room. You can sleep there tonight." Shen Wu's face had already recovered at this time, and he seemed to smell the alcohol on Zhang Shihe's body only now. Wei'er frowned and said, "Don't drink so much in the future, what does it look like."

"Yes, yes..." Zhang Shiyu was still wandering, and when he heard his words, he hurriedly agreed, "Then sir, you should go to bed earlier."

Walking out of the study, Zhang Shiyu still couldn't figure out why Shen Wu had found him in the middle of the night.
