Stand by

The author has something to say: Treasures post stickers~

Jiang Xing's parents were also respected university professors in their small town more than ten years ago. They are an academic couple, gentle and open-minded. Jiang Xing, who grew up in a scholarly family, admired his father Jiang Yu the most since childhood.

He has excellent grades, and his father would stand on the podium to speak as a parent representative in every parent-teacher meeting, and his style of conversation won the respect and admiration of a string of teachers, parents and even female students in the class.

This is an enviable and happy family, until Jiang Yu's long-time friend and another professor in the same department, Hu Yu, plagiarized and embezzled Jiang Yu's academic achievements and took the lead. The respected young scholar was nailed to the list of plagiarists overnight. on the pillar of shame.

Jiang Yu was running around to reverse the case, but in that era, the awareness of evidence and the means of proof were far from perfect as they are now, and the time of publication was almost the biggest evidence.

There were many difficulties, but Jiang Yu and his wife never had the idea of ​​giving up. From the department office to the appraisal office to the court, they encountered obstacles everywhere and failed repeatedly.

Until the young Jiang Xing was found to have a heart problem and needed a major operation, the cost of the operation was astronomical for such a simple and poor family of faculty and staff who were content with academics.

Jiang Xing's condition worsened, and it was determined that the operation was imminent. Jiang Yu smoked on the balcony all night, and the next day he accepted Hu Yu's private reconciliation without telling his wife, and took money to have the child undergo an operation, but he could never Make a name for yourself.

Scientists and intellectuals have to bow down for five buckets of rice. This is cruel, but it is a reality.

Jiang Xing's body is recovering day by day, but his life in the future is completely turned upside down. He is no longer the proud son of a scholarly family, but the son of a shameful plagiarist.

The gossip in the school has never stopped, and the cynicism in the staff dormitory compound is suffocating. At that time, everyone's work and life were connected together, and the neighbors and friends around were almost all Jiang Yu's colleagues. Plagiarism, looking at their family with pity, contempt or hatred in their eyes.

The insignificant passers-by were filled with righteous indignation, as if they were the victims of Jiang Yu's plagiarized results.

When Jiang Xing took the No. 1 exam again, what greeted him was not the admiring eyes of the teacher and the envious eyes of his classmates, but the question of whether he cheated.

"The big ones copy other people's papers, but the small ones can also copy other people's answers."

At that time, little Jiang Xing didn't understand that there was nothing wrong with wanting to commit a crime, he was just wondering, No.2 was a few points lower than him, who did he copy?

He is no longer a child prodigy genius who is excellent in character and learning, and is no longer a three-good student who other parents say his children should learn, but a plague god who can't be avoided.

"The upper beam is not upright and the lower beam is crooked. Please stop interacting with his son. It doesn't matter if this person is stupid, but once his heart is broken, even gods can't save him."

The experience of being rejected and isolated has tempered Jiang Xing, who is now a penny-pinching, indifferent and docile man. He receives too many vicious words and mocking eyes, and he automatically enters a state of numbness to a natural state. It's really hard to have ups and downs.

"Actually, I really don't care what they think or say. These people just take the opportunity to take the unsatisfactory life in their lives and spread it on me. Anyway, I will leave one day."

So when filling out the application, I did not hesitate to fill in the S University thousands of miles away, and I have no plan to go back to develop in the future.

Jiang Xing hugged his knees and stared blankly, blinking at Pei Lu blankly, looking very puzzled, wanting an answer: "I just think my parents are working hard, I don't care anymore, I don't know if they are still there Don't care."

He curled up like a weak animal, his head lowered lower and lower, covered his face in shame, and said in a muffled voice, "Pei Lu, do you know? I was very ignorant when I was young, and my classmates talked about me behind my back. I went to question why my father didn't pursue it to the end, but the fact is clearly not the case."

"I cried and asked, why didn't he insist, why didn't he be braver and more resolute, obviously it wasn't his fault, not our whole family's fault, the real plagiarist became a hero, and the plagiarized person became a human being People shouted and beat rats crossing the street."

"It's all because of his cowardice, compromise, and connivance that our family has become what it is now. I also said that I would rather he hadn't received that money to treat my illness, and I don't want to be as humble as I am now."

"My father was speechless at the time, but he just said sorry to me. My mother scolded me severely when she found out. I may never forget that disappointed look in my life. I can't forget all the words. Remember a sentence, she said, there are more important things in this world than facts and truth."

Jiang Xing's voice was very thin and light in the empty room, with painful tremors: "You said, how could I say that at the time, my father must be very sad, but I didn't apologize to him afterwards."

"I can't say it." Jiang Xing was very stubborn, and the little Jiang Xing was already very stubborn.

"But they forgave me just like that, forgiving me without saying anything."

"They also forgive a lot of people, but those who framed and slandered them are still doing well, making great progress and having prominent official positions."

"How can such a thing happen in the world?"

"It's been so long, I don't know whether my parents have really crossed over or not. I always feel that they have not, but it may be that everyone has let go, and I am the only one who has not crossed over."

That's why Jiang Xing is extremely sensitive to plagiarism, hates it, and is obsessed with it. When he was in junior high school, he forced a classmate who copied his composition to read an apology letter in front of the whole school in the broadcasting room.

Jiang Xing was a little agitated, but his tone was very calm. He muttered by himself and didn't need to respond. He just grasped the corner of the quilt with white fingertips. Pei Lu subconsciously stretched out his arms to wrap him around, His gentle and comforting hug completely enveloped him, accommodated him, and let him land on the island in the eye of the emotional storm.

"Jiang wakes up."

"Jiang wakes up."

"never mind."

"good."

"never mind."
