Rebirth of the Uncrowned King

In just a few months, it feels like years to me.

Except for an occasional phone call from Xiao Ping, I have completely lost contact with my original life.

Work at sunrise and rest at sunset, walking between the two points and one line between the teaching building and the dormitory every day.In addition to students and teachers, the people who deal with it are the owner of the grocery store outside the school.

Although there are computers in the school, I don't have any intention of surfing the Internet.I don't want to know what's going on in the outside world. In my previous life, I had to watch news online for a long time every day, from state affairs to entertainment gossip. It seemed that not knowing was a sign of backwardness.But now here, I would rather use this time to revise the teaching plan.

During the summer vacation, I didn't want to be idle by myself, so I made a report to the principal, held interest classes for the children, and lectured on Tang poetry and Song Ci.

Teaching the children in the morning, watching them do their homework in the afternoon, and playing games with them when the weather is cooler towards the evening, my days are so busy and fulfilling.

But even so, I still often feel that my heart is empty, clamoring for something I once had.

This feeling is particularly strong when I guide the children to run school magazines and write manuscripts.

At the end of the summer vacation, I gave the children a few days off, then I packed some luggage and took a long-distance bus to my hometown to see my parents.

Xiao Ping said that he took time to visit my parents. They were doing well and had nothing to worry about.

"They just miss you. I told them that you have been busy recently and have been on business trips. The elders understand you, but they are also very worried about you. If you can't take some time to go back and see them, at least make a phone call." Xiao Ping said Tell me.

A few times after that, I wanted to make a call, but I picked up the phone and even found the number, but I still couldn't press the dial button.

I don't know how to use a nonchalant tone to chat with my parents, so that these two people who know me best won't notice my strange emotions at all.

When I thought that I was no longer a reporter, I was no longer the career my parents expected most, and I was forced to leave that city to work as an elementary school teacher in a simple and poor place... I didn't have the confidence to talk to them at all. , I was even worried that as soon as I heard the voice of the second elder, I would collapse before opening my mouth.

Ask yourself, even if I try my best to remain calm and indifferent, I can't suppress the unwillingness and grievance.

In front of Ren Min, who is rich and powerful but also pressing closely, escaping is my helpless choice.What I experienced afterwards, although there was joy, happiness, and emotion, was not what I wanted.

There are all kinds of thoughts in the brain, which are like a mess.Sometimes I feel that I should follow my heart and go back to the place I miss; sometimes I worry that once Ren Min finds me, I don’t know what he will do; ; Sometimes, the thought of "Why don't you just give Ren Min a chance" flashes through.

Confused, contradictory, struggling... My mood is getting worse and worse, my mental state is not good, and I even frequently lose my mind when instructing students.I don't want to let myself go on like this, and I don't want to wrong myself anymore. I am so lucky to have that life. I don't want to spend this precious time in emotional depression.

At such a time, the first person who thinks of and thinks that the person who can rely on and ask is the parents.

I have made up my mind to have a good talk with them, and I will do what they say.If it is their expectation, then no matter how difficult the road is, I have the strength to go.

After sitting in the car for more than four hours, after getting off the car, I walked on the winding path from the main road. When the sky was getting dark, I finally stood at the door of my house.

Without the hesitation of last time, I pressed the doorbell with the mood of going home, and then quietly waited for the voice of my father or mother.

"Hi, hello, who am I looking for?" It's not the Mandarin with a dialect accent of the parents, but the words are correct and very standard.

And that voice made me shudder.

I don't know when the door opened, who came out to greet me, or how I got in.When I regained my ability to think, I was already sitting on the sofa at home, next to my mother who was both happy and angry, and on the opposite was Ren Min with a faint smile.

I couldn't say anything, I could only look at him quietly, and I didn't even care about talking to my parents.It took a long time before he managed to calm down and asked him, "Why are you here?"

Ren Min smiled at me: "Didn't you say that these days are very busy and you can't even take care of your family? That's why I came to take care of my uncle and aunt."

This... isn't this talking nonsense with your eyes open!I couldn't help glaring at him, but he responded with calm to somewhat doting eyes.

Aware of my childishness, I turned my head and looked at my mother: "Mom, you and him...what's going on?"

My mother patted the back of my hand: "We understand, Xiao Min has already told us, so don't be shy. It's been several years, and you two are back together after separation, isn't it good?"

"Ah?" I couldn't understand what my mother said, and I realized that Ren Min must have done something in it, but I didn't know the situation, and it was not easy to explode on the spot, so I could only pass it along vaguely.

When I was having dinner, Ren Min and I sat together, and he naturally helped me add vegetables to the meal, as if he was used to it.The mother kept adding vegetables to his bowl, a chicken had two legs, he had one for me, and even my father could only eat the wings.And my father, who has always been unsmiling, didn't look ugly even though he sat next to him and said nothing.

Occasionally, Ren Min and I met our eyes, and he even made a playful gesture like winking at me.Once I stare at him, but before he responds, my mother will scold me first: "What are you doing looking at Xiaomin like this, eat well! He treats you so well, don't be angry with him!"

Xiao Min... I was puzzled, nervous, and a little scared.What exactly did Ren Min do, and why did the second elder seem to have been completely bought by him?
