    ?

    The next morning, I got up very early.

    The air in the early morning was particularly fresh, and I shook off the haze in my heart, and my expression was lifted.  I ran out to buy soy milk and deep-fried dough sticks and went home, and cooked a big pot of porridge with the leftovers.  These are breakfasts that my family has eaten for more than ten years.  The door of the father and mother's room opened. Seeing their son's behavior, they shook their heads and stood there stupidly.

    "Good morning, Mom and Dad! I bought breakfast, come and eat some hot ones." I said with a smile.

    "Oh! Oh!" They slurred in surprise.

    I turned my head, took a deep breath, then grinned, and bit the fritters in my hand vigorously.  When the first ray of dawn appeared in the sky, I made up my mind: I must go back to school, even if I begged them, I must go back to school. This is my lifelong hope.  In a weird atmosphere, my parents sat down next to me for breakfast.  I ate with relish, but they tasted the same.

    "Son." Mom asked tentatively, "Shall I go to school with you?"

    "Oh." I felt dejected, looked at my mother's worried eyes, and tried to smile again, saying: "It's okay, it's not that serious, I'll ask the teacher, it will be fine."

    Over the years, my mother has been the pillar of the family. Although she looks weak and beautiful, she is strong inside.  She handles all the major and minor matters in the family, and she supports the family like a man among women.  On this point, Dad never dared to complain in front of her.  Why did such a beautiful and strong woman marry a man like him?  What a flower on cow dung.

    I didn't go to the classroom, I didn't want to disturb my classmates.  This kind of thing is not honorable after all.  After class, my mother and I came to the school's Academic Affairs Office to find Director Liang.

    "Cough" Director Liang was the first to break the dull atmosphere in the office: "Haozhong has always been a very good child, and we never thought that such a thing would happen. Two days ago, Lin Manjing came to me accompanied by her father.  Tell me this amazing news. At that time, Lin Manjing was in a bad state of mind, and she would cry when asked. His father said that Lin Manjing invited Haozhong to do homework at home, and Haozhong "that" killed her when there were no parents at home.  Director Liang was embarrassed to say the word "rape" in front of my mother.

    "I couldn't believe it at the time, because after all, this child is so good and his future is so good. Sigh But her father has sufficient evidence. If the school doesn't deal with it, he will call the police. When he said that there was evidence, Lin Man  Jing rushed out crying like crazy." Director Liang described the situation at that time.  My heart felt like being viciously picked up by a woman's sharp nails. Could it be that Lin Manjing really regretted it.  Did she think I hurt her, that's why she did it?

    "This incident is very serious. It can be said that it has never happened in our school for a hundred years. If it is reported, it will be a big scandal and the school's brand will be smashed. I don't know what happened between Haozhong and Lin Manjing.  What, I would rather not believe it. But his father must ask the school to give an explanation, and we have nothing to do. "

    "Ms. Liang, my son said that you usually care about him. After getting along for more than two years, do you think he will be a child who does such stupid things?" Mom asked earnestly.

    "Huh?" Director Liang pondered for a while, and replied more sincerely, "I always thought that Yang Haozhong was a good student, and I even hoped that these were all wrong. He can be said to be the most talented and willing student I have seen in the past ten years of teaching.  Hard-working students. There really aren¡¯t many of them these days.¡±

    Director Liang looked at me with benevolent and kind eyes, and I felt extremely warm.  I am very grateful to the teacher who stood up and said these pertinent words for me at this time.

    "But" His eyes suddenly became sharp, he looked straight at me, and asked, "Are you and Lin Manjing dating?"

    I avoided his gaze, lowered my head, and nodded my heavy head slowly.  I think it's too ironic. Are Lin Manjing and I really in love?  I feel immensely ashamed.

    "Oh. You shouldn't touch that kind of girl." Director Liang sighed meaningfully, "You'd better go out first, I want to talk to your mother alone."

    His "shouldn't" was like a needle piercing the back of my head, making me dizzy with pain.  At this time, I didn't have any ability to judge, so I could only look at my mother in pain, and my mother nodded slightly, beckoning me to go out.  I got up and walked out in embarrassment.  Walking outside the office, I collapsed in the corner like a collapse.  Although I was mentally prepared in the morning, I was deeply hurt when someone pointed out how naive my so-called "love" was.  I'm like the emperor wearing new clothes on the street, and finally someone exposes the same, which makes me feel ashamed.  My mother talked for a long time inside, and I could roughly guess what they were talking about, probably some things about evidence. Director Liang thought that I was still a child and couldn't listen, so he kicked me out.

    When my mother came out, I had already curled up in a corner and fell asleep.  happened so??Things, I didn't sleep well at night and I finally couldn't hold on.  She woke me up and stroked my face and hair gently.

    I opened my eyes and saw my mother's crystal clear tears.

    "Go home. Teacher Liang promised to help us talk to Lin Manjing's father tomorrow. Don't worry too much. He also told you to go to class tomorrow and don't miss the final review." She dragged me up, but  She couldn't move at all and staggered.  I quickly got up and supported her.  I clearly saw a few white hairs added to her black hair, which was a head shorter.

    My nose was sour, and I deeply blamed myself for not living up to expectations and inheriting my father's weakness and incompetence. I actually asked my mother to be a shield.

    The next day, I went to class as usual.  After the first get out of class, I didn't go back to the classroom, and ran to the window outside the office of the Academic Affairs Office to look around.  They have all arrived, but Lin Manjing is nowhere to be seen.  I sneaked to the door and eavesdropped close to the crack of the door.

    "Compensation? What compensation do you use at home?" Lin's father gave his mother a contemptuous look, "I would be ashamed of rubbish like yours touching my fingers. Your son dares to touch my daughter. Do you know how precious she is?"  ?¡± I stared at the man through the crack of the door, filled with indignation.  I clenched my fists, afraid that I would lose control and push the door open and beat him.

    "Mr. Lin, if you have something to say, talk it out. You promised to sit down and talk about it. Why can't we talk about it?" Director Liang was very handy in dealing with this kind of self-righteous rich and unkind person, and immediately hit back Father Lin's words.  His righteousness not only won my mother's gratitude, but also left a deep impression on my heart.

    "Hmph. I don't want to say anything more. Your school is not responsible for not managing the students well. If I expose this matter, you know what the consequences will be." Although Father Lin's arrogance was no longer so arrogant, he  Still full of confidence in the negotiation with all the chips in hand.

    "Lin Manjing has no way to study now. She is devastated every day, and she is about to take the college entrance examination. Your school is responsible for her situation."

    "What do you mean?" Director Liang frowned.

    "I know that your school has recommended places for admission to key universities, you should have the right to take them out?" Father Lin put on a standard businessman's face.

    I took a deep breath: Lin Manjing, are you using me just to get a recommendation from a key university?  I have the urge to laugh, a girl ruined her innocence only for one recommended spot.  What kind of world is this?  For the first time, I understood what a transaction is. The first transaction in my life cost me too much.

    "But as punishment for that brat Yang Haozhong, you must fire him immediately." A vicious flame burst out of Father Lin's eyes.

    "Mr. Lin, I've just said it. I beg you to let my son go. He is still a child and doesn't understand anything. He said he was in a relationship with your daughter and did something wrong on the spur of the moment. He has  He has a very good future, you will completely destroy him like this." Mom pleaded bitterly.

    "Future? What kind of future do you think your son can have? Oh you want your son Xianyu to turn around. Haha, but he shouldn't mess with my daughter or bully my baby. If killing people is not illegal,  I can't wait to stab him to death immediately." I clenched my fists that had just relaxed.

    "Don't! I beg you." My mother was facing a breakdown under Lin's father's harsh words.  She grabbed Father Lin's arm and wanted to kneel down.

    Father Lin shook her off in disgust, and Director Liang rushed over to catch the falling mother in time.  I couldn't bear it anymore, I pushed open the door and rushed up to beat him.  Director Liang grabbed me.

    "What do you want?" Father Lin shrank back in fear, hastily covering up his embarrassment.  He tidied his shirt slowly, and deliberately touched the gold chain on his wrist that was as thick as a thumb.  I gritted my teeth in hatred.

    "I won't take advantage of you, how dare you treat me like this!" Father Lin got up rudely, picked up the handbag on the coffee table, put it under his arm, and walked out the door.

    My fist was clenched tightly, and my mother kept sobbing.  I looked back anxiously, hurting her by my own stupidity.  His impulse reversed the situation that this woman had exchanged for her dignity back to its original appearance.  I really wanted to bang my head to death.  Director Liang took out a facial tissue and handed it to my mother, then snarled at me, signaling me to go out and stop provoking her.  I walked out helplessly, watching Director Liang comfort my mother in a low voice while walking.  I have always admired Director Liang similar to my father's generation, and I have imagined how happy it is to have such a father.  This time, although he blamed me, I feel that compared to my overwhelmed father, Director Liang disciplines me more like a father and helps me deal with these things.  For me, who never enjoyed the love of my father since I was a child, I deeply respect Director Liang.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
