looking back inadvertently

Liang He received a call from Yuan Jing that afternoon, but it was Yuan Haochen's voice that came through the handset.

He suppressed his sobs and kept repeating a sentence: "I didn't say, uncle, I didn't tell others..."

"What did you say?" Liang He was confused, but Hao Chen's condition sounded very bad, "Why didn't you tell others? Where's your mother?"

"Mom is still inside... Tell the teacher and the others," he said intermittently, "I didn't tell others about you and Teacher Shen. I never said it. Why do people still make trouble for Teacher Shen..."

"What?!" Liang He was startled suddenly, "Who? At school?"

Yuan Haochen hummed a few times in a row, but the words he said still had no beginning and no end, as if he was frightened.Liang He was anxious, so he didn't bother to call Shen Zhe to confirm the situation, and grabbed the coat on the seat.

There was still half an hour before the normal end of get off work, he took a leave of absence on the grounds of an urgent matter at home, and rushed directly to the school where Shen Zhe worked.

This morning, the class led by Shen Zhe encountered an unexpected situation.Chen Siqi was absent from class without reason, and there was no one in the whole morning reading and the first class.

He tried to contact Chen Siqi's parents, but couldn't get through the phone.It wasn't until the middle of the morning that Chen Siqi's mother came to school with her child, but it was not to send her to school, but to ask the teacher for a crime.

"Mr. Shen," she approached Shen Zhe, "Yesterday afternoon, Yuan Haochen scratched my daughter's neck with a pencil. Do you know?"

Shen Zhe quickly checked under Chen Siqi's cheek, there was indeed a long and thin red mark, as if medicine had been applied, and a simple treatment was carried out.Chen Siqi glanced at her mother timidly, and said in a low voice, "I said it was made after school, and Teacher Shen is not here."

"Shut up!" Mother Chen cut off her daughter's rebuttal, and continued to turn to Shen Zhe, "I want you to ask Yuan Haochen to come out."

When there was a dispute between the students in the class, it was necessary to ask both parties involved to clarify. Shen Zhe had no objection to this, and quickly found Yuan Haochen who was in the classroom.

"Haochen," Shen Zhe lowered his head slightly, "Did you scratch Siqi's neck yesterday?"

Chen's mother glanced down, Yuan Haochen didn't dare to say anything at first, nodded his head, and then murmured, "I bumped into it by accident."

"Then have you apologized to Siqi?"

"Well," he nodded again and looked at the girl next to him, "Siqi, let me tell you again, I'm sorry, do you still feel pain?"

Chen Siqi smiled and said, "It's okay, I don't feel it anymore."

The girl's mother pinched her arm, causing her smiling little face to wrinkle immediately.

"Why don't you feel it anymore?" Her face was gloomy, "What should I do if a scratch leaves a scar on my skin?"

"It's not that serious..."

"Did I ask you to talk?" After reprimanding her daughter, Mother Chen turned to face Shen Zhe, "Mr. Shen, I suggested to you, don't let my daughter stay with Yuan Haochen all the time, do you know why now?"

Shen Zhe stood in front of Yuan Haochen calmly, even if it was inevitable for him to hear these unpleasant words, he still couldn't push a child who couldn't resist in front of angry parents.

"Mother Siqi," he persuaded, "Haochen didn't do it on purpose. It's normal for children of this age to bump into each other. The key is to teach them how to avoid similar situations from happening again."

"Appear again? Do you want to have a next time?" She coldly swept behind Shen Zhe, "Why are you protecting him? He is your student, but not my daughter?"

"Of course I care about Siqi, I don't want to see her get hurt."

"I'm afraid not? Teacher Shen," her voice paused, "Do you dare to say that you don't treat people differently?"

Shen Zhe keenly noticed that there was another meaning in her words: "What do you mean?"

"Years ago, I saw you eating with Yuan Haochen and his mother, talking and laughing together," she smiled ironically, "What is your relationship with this child? You are going to be a family soon? No wonder To protect other people's children..."

Shen Zhe's face became paler and paler. He had only one experience of having lunch with Yuan Jing's mother and son, and that was years ago when Liang He was there.But according to Mother Chen's tone, she didn't notice Liang He, maybe she misunderstood the relationship between herself and Yuan Jing.

Just as the get out of class was over, the dispute between several people attracted the attention of some classmates.The teacher in the next class was worried that the situation would expand, so he called Vice Principal Fan, who was in charge of safety work.

The vice-principal quickly understood what had happened, and stepped forward to mediate: "Well, mother Siqi, since the children didn't do it on purpose, let them go back to class first, and we can talk in the office. If we need compensation, we can also call Haochen's mother , let’s discuss it together, okay?”

Chen Siqi gently tugged at the corner of her mother's clothes: "Mom, I want to go to class."

"What a crappy school..." She seemed to glared at her daughter angrily, "Just go to it, and don't come back after today's class."

"I met Yuan Haochen's mother because his brother and I were classmates in high school," Shen Zhe replied calmly in front of the principal and Chen's mother, "It was also my classmates and I who were eating out that day, and we happened to meet them, so we ate together Had a meal."

"Then why do I only see you three?" Mother Chen was still aggressive.

"What you saw was probably when my classmate went to the front desk to order food. The rest of the time we were four together."

"I really thought there was such a coincidence," she snorted disdainfully, "Who will believe it..."

If Shen Zhe had a more violent temper, he might have confided his true inner thoughts: Whom I eat with is none of your business?

But he knows that this will lead to more endless disputes, which will not only embarrass the principal, but also easily be regarded as an expression of guilty conscience.

"That's what it is."

Yuan Jing could only spare time to come to school in the afternoon, and Chen's mother left temporarily cursing.Shen Zhe stayed alone in the principal's office.

"Mr. Shen," the vice principal said gently, "If you don't mind, I want to tell you something from the bottom of my heart.

"Our school's requirements for teachers mainly revolve around the teaching management work in the school, and do not interfere with teachers' private communication."

"I see."

"Whom you associate with is personal freedom, but the school also has relevant policies. Children who are related to teachers cannot be placed in the same class. If you really have something to do with Hao Chen's mother... it stands to reason that you need to change classes."

"Principal," Shen Zhe said in a daze, "What do you think I have with Hao Chen's mother?"

"I'm not sure, but..." She looked at Shen Zhe, "Mr. Shen, don't be angry if I'm wrong, I don't think you're telling the truth."

"I..." Shen Zhe was surprised by her observation ability.If he doesn't tell about the matter between himself and Liang He, it will probably cause him to fall into an even more embarrassing misunderstanding, and it will also involve Hao Chen and Yuan Jing.

"I'm your senior sister. If you have any difficulties, you can tell me. I will never tell others," she continued, "I'm afraid that if there is something, other parents in the class may see it in the future, cause discussions, and think You are eccentric. Now there is only one child in every family. Parents are very sensitive to children’s affairs. This is the reason why we don’t arrange close relatives in our class. In fact, it is also to protect the teacher. If you are not in the same class as him, this problem will not exist. .”

Indeed, because of his association with Liang He, it is impossible for him to have no contact with Hao Chen outside of class, and it is very likely that the parents of the students will notice.

"Teacher Fan," Shen Zhe collected himself, "I have a personal relationship with Hao Chen, but not with his mother."

"Who is that with?"

"Yuan Haochen's uncle, my high school classmate," he said slowly, "is my lover."
