After wearing the book and the future boss HE

The last small self-study in the afternoon is Lao Lu's physics class.

It's just that Lao Lu didn't come even after the class bell rang for a long time.

The students are a little strange, but entering the second semester of the third year of high school, most of the courses are basically review-based.

Everyone has already developed the habit of self-consciousness. Although the teacher did not come, the students in the classroom started to study consciously.

The classroom is very quiet, and even the monitor is not needed to maintain order.

Halfway through the small self-study, the classroom door was suddenly pushed open.

Everyone thought it was Lao Lu, and the active classmate raised his head to tease Lao Lu for being late, but it was not Lao Lu who opened the door, but English teacher Yu Man.

Qin Mo was stunned, "Mr. Yu, did you make a mistake, our lesson is not English?"

His voice made people who were still immersed in their studies look up and look ahead.

Chu Yan also raised his head. He looked forward and saw Yu Man standing at the door of the classroom.

Yu Man didn't go any further, the classroom door was half-opened and half-closed, the half-open part let in the bright sky outside, and the closed half cast a thick shadow on the floor.

She stood in the shadows, looking at everyone with an expression that the students had never seen before.

Chu Yan's heart suddenly "clicked", and a strong uneasiness enveloped him.

——Yu Man's eyes were red.

The students who noticed this all asked:

"What's wrong, Teacher Yu?"

"What happened?"

Because of everyone's questioning, the originally quiet classroom became a little chaotic.

The students were all very strange. Everyone looked at Yu Man anxiously because they didn't understand.

Yu Man, who was standing at the door of the classroom, moved her lips, as if she was about to say something extremely difficult, her voice was choked with sobs: "Ms. Lu... is gone."

The simple five words were like a thunderbolt hitting everyone's heads, covering their heads and faces, and everyone was stunned.

There was a moment of silence in the classroom, and someone tremblingly asked, "It's gone? What do you mean?"

Yu Man met everyone's gaze, and his eyes became even redder.

"After two o'clock in the afternoon, Teacher Lu suddenly fainted in the office—"

Her tears fell, Yu Man lowered her head and wiped her eyes before continuing, "It was a sudden cerebral hemorrhage, I was sent to the hospital but was not rescued..."

Chu Yan felt a pain in his heart, and suddenly felt dizzy.

Yu Man's voice became far away, and Chu Yan couldn't tell whether it was the classroom shaking or his body shaking. In a trance, he thought that he was about to fall from a very high place when he stepped on the ground——

At this time, a hand held his hand, and that hand used some strength to pull Chu Yan back.

Chu Yan raised his head in a daze, and looked at Huo Qiao who was frowning tightly.

Huo Qiao tightened his lips, apparently also in extreme shock, and he tightened Chu Yan's hand again.

Only then did Chu Yan notice that he was trembling non-stop.

Everyone in the classroom was stunned by the sudden bad news, and it was only a moment later that there were mournful cries.

"impossible!"

Qin Mo suddenly stood up and shouted: "Old Lu will be fine! I don't believe it!"

"I don't believe it either!"

"how could it be possible!"

"Old Lu is obviously so healthy..."

"Miss Yu, are you joking, woo woo woo..."

There was the sound of tables and chairs colliding in the classroom, someone rushed out of the classroom first, and then two or three——

It took less than 5 minutes to run from the classroom of Class [-] to the office of the third-year science group.

The people in Class [-] were running in the corridor with chaotic footsteps, which made everyone in the other classes look at them, but no one cared.

They ran all the way, and Lu Kaisheng, who was running ahead, pushed open the door of Lao Lu's office——

The door made a loud bang.

There are still a few teachers in the office, but Lao Lu is not there.

The teachers were taken aback by the rough push on the door, and when they saw that it was everyone in Class [-], their expressions became complicated again.

A teacher patted Lu Kaisheng on the shoulder and sighed, "My condolences."

Lao Lu's desk is still the same as usual, and a physics lesson plan is still spread out on the table, as if he just went out for a while and will come back soon.

But the expressions of the other teachers in the office, and the red-eyed Yu Man following up, all showed that——

Lao Lu will not come back.

The students finally accepted the reality, the girl covered her face and cried bitterly, and the boy also shed tears silently with red eyes.

Huo Qiao's eye sockets were also red, and he rubbed Chu Yan's hair.

Chu Yan was still out of breath because of sprinting all the way, but his face was pale.

He looked at Huo Qiao in a daze, and suddenly asked with trembling lips:

"In the first class in the afternoon, Lao Lu... came to the classroom specially to meet everyone, right?"

Chu Yan thought of the way Lao Lu looked into the classroom through the window.

Through the glass, Lao Lu looked at the classroom and them in the classroom with a smile and nostalgic expression.

On that drowsy, unnoticed afternoon, Lao Lu came to see them for the last time.

As Chu Yan spoke, tears fell straight down.

He raised his arms to cover his face and bit his lip to keep himself from crying.

Huo Qiao's Adam's apple rolled slightly, he stretched out his hand to hold Chu Yan in his arms, and patted him on the back.

-

On the day of Lao Lu's funeral, the sky was gray.

Chu Yan lowered his eyes, paused for a moment while grasping the black coat, and then took the clothes and began to put them on.

Wang Mei looked at him worriedly and sighed softly.

"Oh, what is this called?"

She remembered that Chu Yan's head teacher even praised Chu Yan to her at the parent-teacher meeting.

What a great teacher, why suddenly...

"Yanyan, I see that you haven't slept well these two days, and your complexion is so bad."

Wang Mei said distressedly, "Is there anything uncomfortable for you?"

"I'm fine, Mom." Chu Yan forced himself to smile.

Looking at Chu Yan's pale face and lips, Wang Mei couldn't help sighing again.

"Birth, old age, sickness and death are also unavoidable things. Those who are alive should live a good life."

Qu Xiangmin came out of the kitchen, and he packed two freshly steamed buns for Chu Yan, "Take it, eat it on the road. People are iron rice and steel, don't ruin yourself too."

"Thank you, Uncle Qu."

Chu Yan took the bun: "Then I'm going out."

"Hey, wait, wait," Wang Mei said hastily.

She ran to the kitchen to grab a handful of rice and put it in Chu Yan's pocket, "It's better to avoid going to that kind of place."

Chu Yan obediently asked Wang Mei to put rice in her pocket, and then waved to the two of them.

After going out the door, Chu Yan stood in front of the elevator and lowered his eyes sullenly.

Thinking of Wang Mei's worried expression, he patted his face again, "I have to cheer up."

If Lao Lu was still there, he would definitely not want to see them because he was so depressed.

When Chu Yan walked to the gate of the community, his eyes suddenly widened in surprise.

——He saw Huo Qiao standing at the gate of the community.

Huo Qiao was also dressed in black, with a straight body, tall and thin, and very conspicuous.

Chu Yan hurried over, "Huo Qiao, why are you here?"

Huo Qiao also saw Chu Yan at a glance when he came out.

"I'll wait for you."

"Did you wait long?"

Chu Yan was a little anxious immediately, "Why didn't you tell me, I would have come down earlier if I knew you were coming, or you could go to my house to find me."

He has never been very good at hiding his emotions, and when he is in a hurry, it is written on his face. Even his dark deer eyes seem to be able to talk, revealing the emotions of self-blame and distressed.

Huo Qiao looked at Chu Yan's anxious look, and slightly curled his lips.

He rubbed the top of Chu Yan's hair, "It won't be a surprise if I tell you."

Chu Yan blinked and looked at him blankly.

Chu Yan's skin is fair, unlike Huo Qiao who can't tell even if he stays up late, he will have two dark circles under his eyes when he stays up late.

Huo Qiao touched the dark blue under Chu Yan's eyes, Chu Yan's eyelashes drooped down and touched his fingers like feathers.

"Didn't sleep well again?"

Chu Yan wanted to shake his head, but under Huo Qiao's gaze, he could only tell the truth: "I can't sleep."

When he closed his eyes recently, he would think of Lao Lu, and the expression of Lao Lu looking into the classroom through the window that day.

"do you know?"

Chu Yan said sullenly, "Mr. Yu said that Lao Lu fainted at [-]:[-], that is to say, he..."

He bit his lips, "Could it be that he was already uncomfortable..."

Chu Yan couldn't continue, his eyes were red.

He has too many regrets for Lao Lu.

Mr. Lu said that he wanted them to cherish their last year of high school, and that after they finished the college entrance examination, they would have a brighter future, and they could play however they wanted.

But Lao Lu did not say that he would not even wait for their college entrance examination.

Their high school career was not over yet, but Lao Lu left first.

Chu Yan's last look at Lao Lu turned out to be the back of the man who was slowly leaving with his hands behind his back.

He always wondered if he could have noticed it at the time, would he have less regret.

Huo Qiao let out a deep breath.

He held Chu Yan's hand, "Old Lu is reluctant to part with us, so let's not disappoint his expectations."

Lao Lu's requirements for them have always been simple, nothing more than studying hard, hoping that they will get good grades in the college entrance examination and go to a good university.

And behind these expectations is the hope that they can live a happy and successful life.

Chu Yan pursed his lips, held Huo Qiao's hand back, and nodded solemnly.

At this moment, Chu Yan suddenly remembered the steamed stuffed bun that Uncle Qu brought him. He touched the bag, and the steamed stuffed bun was still hot.

Chu Yan hurriedly asked Huo Qiao: "Huo Qiao, have you eaten yet? Uncle Qu just steamed the steamed buns for you."

Huo Qiao really didn't eat much in the morning, he took a taxi here early and waited for Chu Yan.

He glanced at Chu Yan, "You don't want to eat?"

"I'm not hungry." Chu Yan shook his head.

Huo Qiao frowned slightly, and he held the bun in a plastic bag and handed it to Chu Yan, "Open your mouth."

Chu Yan was stunned for a moment, but obediently opened his mouth and took a bite.

Then Huo Qiao said: "How can I do without eating?"

Chu Yan had no choice but to say, "Okay."

He and Huo Qiao ate two buns one bite at a time.

Chu Yan felt a little thirsty, so he asked Huo Qiao: "Do you still want to drink the soy milk I brought you earlier?"

He was afraid that Huo Qiao would not be able to remember, so he added, "It was the time when I went to see Su Nianqing's painting exhibition."

How could Huo Qiao not remember.

He said, "Yes."

Chu Yan took his hand, "I'll take you to buy it."

The two walked through the small park and bought two cups of soy milk at the soy milk stand.

While waiting for the soy milk, Chu Yan suddenly said to Huo Qiao: "Last winter, Lao Lu invited me to eat a roasted sweet potato."

That was the saddest time for Chu Yan.

Although Lao Lu was shocked when he mentioned the seat later, he still feels very warm when he recalls that hot roasted sweet potato.

Huo Qiao looked down at him, reached out and rubbed his head, "I will buy it for you in the future."

Chu Yan's nose was a little sore, he smiled at Huo Qiao, "Okay."

After drinking the soy milk, they arrived at the subway station.

Chu Yan was completely muscle memory, and walked along to get here.

He looked at the sign of the subway station, hesitating whether to let Huo Qiao squeeze the subway with him.

Huo Qiao held his hand, "Let's go."

Chu Yan quietly squeezed Huo Qiao's hand, and said "um".

They entered the subway station, walked straight in, and reached the front of the subway.

A subway came just in time, its lights were dazzling, the car was surrounded by the sound of swift and violent wind, and even the ground seemed to be trembling.

Chu Yan and Huo Qiao squeezed into the bustling subway on weekdays.

The subway roared forward, and their figures in black clothes were reflected in the car windows.

This is an ordinary day, and there will be no more markings on the calendar except for the date and the day of the week.

But for Chu Yan and Huo Qiao, for everyone in Class [-] and [-], this was a day they would never forget.

Chu Yan pursed his lips and said in his heart:

——Let's go, see Lao Lu for a ride.

How many encounters and partings there are in life, only life and death are the most difficult barriers to overcome.
