looking back inadvertently

On Monday afternoon, Shen Zhe found that Chen Siqi had violated the regulations in the classroom of the class she brought, hiding snacks and small toys in her schoolbag and bringing them to school.During recess, he called her to the corridor to ask about it.

Although Chen Siqi is usually emotionally unstable and often resolves conflicts with classmates by crying, she is relatively easy to listen to in front of Shen Zhe and is not too difficult to manage.

But today, for some reason, no matter how much I ask, I refuse to say a word.

"Why did you bring these to school?" Shen Zhe repeated, the girl still didn't respond, the corners of her mouth drooped, looking unhappy.

"If you don't want to explain it to me, I'll find out about it with your mother."

Unexpectedly, when she heard this, she suddenly curled her lips and burst into tears.Shen Zhe wanted to pull her, but she slapped her away: "Mr. Shen hates it!" Then he turned around and ran back to the classroom.

With a choked breath, Shen Zhe was about to step forward when the bell for the next class rang. The teacher in charge greeted him and walked into the classroom.He had to go back to the office first.

Because of this incident, Shen Zhe's mood was not very happy until after school.He doesn't like to blindly impose majesty on students. He has always maintained a gentle attitude and positive guidance on the premise of adhering to principles in teaching and educating people.Therefore, for more than a month, I have established a basic relationship of trust with the students in the class and formed a virtuous circle. This is the first time I have been confronted face to face like this.

When school was over, he led the team to the school gate, and as soon as the disbandment was announced, Chen Siqi ran to her mother.Shen Zhe wanted to go forward to communicate with Chen's mother, but saw Chen Siqi turning her head and staring at him with almost pleading eyes.

He stopped, changed his mind, and only nodded at the other party, watching their mother and daughter leave from the school gate.I always feel that the girl is hiding something, but she doesn't want to say it, it's better to do another observation.

In the evening, I had dinner with some teachers from the school.In the hotel box, the deskmates, except the vice principal, are all new teachers who have just entered the school like him.Shen Zhe was always thinking about the students' affairs, and was always somewhat absent-minded.

The vice-principal, surnamed Fan, was sitting next to him. She was a middle-aged woman in her forties with rich experience in teaching and student management. She also graduated from the Chinese Department of Normal University and was Shen Zhe's direct senior sister.The young teachers were basically chatting, only she noticed Shen Zhe's silence.

"Mr. Shen," she asked him in a low voice, "have you encountered any trouble at work?"

"Ah? I'm sorry," Shen Zhe realized his abnormality, and adjusted slightly, "It's not too troublesome."

"Children today are much more precocious than before," the vice-principal communicated with him as if chatting with him, "It requires more attention from adults."

"Yes." Shen Zhe was only a little concerned about Chen Siqi's abnormal behavior, but it was indeed like what the vice principal said, children of this age are already very self-sufficient, and it is too easy to see through, so there is no need to deliberately guide them.After talking with the senior for a while, he was no longer entangled in today's matter.

Liang He didn't go well at work today, because he mistyped a letter and was scolded by the manager for half an hour.

The manager became angry, and he had long since lost the easy-going way he had been on business trips. With such a straightforward person, getting along with him at work will inevitably experience the sourness of the "sauna warm".

He did have omissions, and Liang He has nothing to refute. Of course, he also has a set of coping mentality for people with bad tempers, and other people's cannonballs basically can't touch the depths of his emotions.

So when he walked out of the manager's office and his colleagues looked at him with sympathy, he walked back to his desk as if nothing had happened.Nothing went wrong later, and he finished the day's work ahead of schedule and got off work a few minutes earlier than usual.

Wen Hao called to ask him out for dinner, and Ye Minjuan and her roommate were also there.Although Liang He had contacted Ye Minjuan by phone in the past few months, he hadn't seen anyone, so he took the opportunity to get together.

Ye Minjuan's hair has changed back to short hair, and she has the same hot temper as before.Liang He roughly understood her experience - originally planned to stay in Beijing, but ran back after breaking up with the senior.There was no abnormality on her face, so Liang He didn't mention it, as if she had never heard of it.

Liang He didn't see Wen Hao again after the class reunion. He remembered that Wen Hao's QQ signature changed several times in the first few days of September. They were all convulsive and sour sentences. He must have met Cao Lei. Received a lot of stimulation.But when we met tonight, this kid was unexpectedly excited, and he yelled to ask them if they had any introductions for single young women.

"No," Ye Minjuan said unceremoniously, putting her arms around the girl next to her, "My sister's idea is not allowed to be fought, and a famous girl has someone to marry."

"I know, isn't this to say hello to you in advance and ask you to help pay attention?"

Wen Hao felt that the hotel hall was too boring, so he occupied a table on the balcony on the second floor, ordered a few dishes casually, and lined up beer and drinks.In City C in October, it is very cool in the open air.

"Why don't we go to the living room?" Liang He asked, "Will it be a bit cold here?" It doesn't matter to him that he is not afraid of the cold, as the two girls are dressed thinly.

"It's okay!" Ye Minjuan waved her hands nonchalantly, "The wind is very comfortable." Her roommate also said that she is afraid of heat and doesn't feel cold.Liang He followed them and sat outside with peace of mind.

Because it is close to the road, the hustle and bustle can be heard endlessly, the sound of cars, the continuous voice of pedestrians, or the pop songs played in roadside shops... the chaos fills the night, but it does not disturb people, at least Liang He feels relaxed.Fly in the ointment, the hotel's dishes are very general, the taste is too strong, and it has to be served with drinks or wine.

In the beginning, their communication was pretty normal. Liang He didn't talk much, and Ye Minjuan's sister-like roommate was also relatively shy. Hearing that Hao and Ye Minjuan talked to each other with a bright voice, all kinds of strange clients they met at work , or the complaints that I dare not express on weekdays seem to find an outlet, but it is not a complaint. There are more elements of self-deprecation, so I will be unscrupulous in front of acquaintances.

Later, several bottles of beer went down, most of which were drunk by Ye Minjuan. She drank too much, and her expression became strange.

The two girls left their seats halfway, and there was no sign of anyone after a few minutes.After searching around on the second floor, Liang He returned to the terrace and found the two of them leaning on the railing in the corner.

In fact, he couldn't hear their voices, but saw Ye Minjuan's trembling shoulders from behind.She must have been crying, another girl patted her on the back.

As he approached, Ye Minjuan's intermittent sobs fell into his ears.

"That bastard Zheng Shunan...for so many years...why do I like him!"

Liang He could tell that what she was talking about was the senior who wanted to forget but couldn't forget.He had never seen her cry before, and this look reminded him of his former American classmate Yao Jie.The two of them have similarities, they are both girls who never seem to shed tears, but they cry more violently than anyone else.

Liang He couldn't help wondering, what kind of frivolous thing is love, which makes people look normal without turning back, and completely loses control like a different person when they lose it.

But faintly, a little envious, at least she has taken that step, and she has experienced it unforgettable.

Liang He took another step forward, just in time to hear her say to her roommate: "Starting tomorrow, I will never cry for him again."

The two of them turned around and met Liang He's gaze. Liang He didn't ask, nor did she explain, and went back to the dining table quietly.Wen Hao was rather stunned, and when he noticed her strange behavior, he almost opened his mouth, but Liang He gave a "shut up" wink, and then stopped at the right time.

When the diners left one after another, the hall and terrace, which had been unusually lively just now, suddenly became deserted.

"Teacher Shen, come on." Principal Fan said to Shen Zhe in an encouraging tone before leaving.

"Thank you," Shen Zhe smiled, "Are you ready to go back?"

"Well, my lover's car is here." She pointed to the direction behind her, and there was a gray car parked on the side of the road not far away, "Why don't you take our car and let you go back?"

"No need," the vice-principal promised to take another female teacher home. He doesn't need to join in the fun as a boy, and he has to trouble the other party one more time. "It's easy to take a bus here. I can go back by myself."

"Then be careful on the road!"

"Ah."

Shen Zhe waved his hand towards the leaving figure, and he was also preparing to go to the bus station. The weather tonight is good, a bit cool, but not to the point of being cold.

Suddenly, Faye Wong's "Fleeing Years" was played on the stereo of a shop by the side of the road.Shen Zhe felt strange, he didn't listen to Faye Wong's songs very much, but this song would remind him every time he heard it, as if it was connected to a special switch in his brain.

The neon lights flickered, blurring the figures on the ground.An indescribable sadness filled my heart, not because of the school, but for myself.

He took a deep breath, raised his head, and glanced back inadvertently.

"Shen Zhe." Liang He called him on the balcony on the second floor.
