Chapter 14: The Promise to Watch the Lanterns
As a teacher, if you realize that the consequences of your decision are bad for students, you will not tell them explicitly. This is not conducive to the teacher establishing his or her own authority, nor is it conducive to his or her subsequent management of the class.
Therefore, after learning about the relevant situation, Teacher Wang walked into the classroom and stood on the podium and said: "Recently, I have found that some bad trends have appeared in the class. What is a school? What is a classroom? It is a place for you to study hard. Things that are not conducive to learning should not appear."
Some students lowered their heads and dared not look him in the eyes, some were puzzled by the "bad habits" he mentioned, and some looked straight at him.
Teacher Wang made a serious decision: "For this situation, I have decided to make some minor adjustments. If this situation still occurs after the minor adjustments, I will report the situation to your parents truthfully and let you off this time."
Xu Yan sensed something. Sure enough, Teacher Wang looked at him and said, "Xu Yan." He pointed at Gu Mingxing and said, "Switch seats with Gu Mingxing. And..."
Huo Ting was bored and remembered several classmates who changed seats. Xu Yan put his things next to Huo Ting. Huo Ting smiled softly and said, "I changed the seats of three classmates in total. One likes to play with his deskmate in class, and the other has a bad relationship with his deskmate. Xu Yan, why did you change to next to me?"
Xu Yan was in a bad mood and remained silent.
It was the first time that Huo Ting saw his expression like this, and he laughed as if he was mocking him. This laugh made Xu Yan even more annoyed. He gritted his teeth, feeling angry but not knowing why.
Since ancient times, there have always been people who are happy and people who are sad. Xu Yan is the sad one, and the happy one is naturally Gu Mingxing, who has swapped roles with him.
The first thing Gu Mingxing did after changing seats was to give Yu Xiaoan a box of orange juice. Yu Xiaoan smiled at the box of orange juice in his hand and said, "Are you used to it?"
Gu Mingxing was busy packing up his things with both hands. He saw from the corner of his eye that she had already taken out the straw and inserted it in: "Aren't you used to drinking it?"
Teacher Wang heard the sound of whispering when Wei Yi changed seats. He was already in a bad mood and patted the podium to warn: "What are you talking about when you change seats!"
The classroom suddenly became quiet again, with only the slight sound of clothes rubbing against each other.
"Okay, let's start the class now. Turn to..."
After class, Huo Ting saw that his deskmate seemed to be fixed in the chair and motionless. Looking at his frozen expression, he asked, "What are you thinking about?"
"..."
"Chen Kang?"
Xu Yan still didn't move. Huo Ting felt it was boring and stretched lazily: "I'm going to find Chen Kang to play."
When he stood up and walked towards Chen Kang, he glanced at Xu Yan. Xu Yan was still immersed in his own world, motionless.
Yu Xiaoan was writing the homework assigned by the teacher in the last class. Huo Ting took a look and asked, "I've wanted to ask for a long time, who taught you this handwriting?"
Yu Xiaoan was writing down the answers to the questions, and as he was writing he said, "No one taught me, I just kept writing and writing."
"Your handwriting is much more beautiful and delicate than Gu Mingxing's."
Yu Xiaoan wrote a period, looked at him and asked, "Are you trying to say that my handwriting looks like a girl's?"
Huo Ting nodded, and Yu Xiaoan smiled and said, "no one stipulates that boys can't write beautifully."
"Why don't you tell me how to write better? Last midterm exam, the teacher deducted extra marks from my composition because my handwriting was ugly."
Yu Xiaoan started to look at the next question and said, "I can't teach you. You should buy a copybook. If your handwriting is not good, practice more."
"Puff," Gu Mingxing had just come back from getting some water. As soon as he came back, he heard what Yu Xiaoan said to Huo Ting. He ruthlessly exposed Yu Xiaoan's meaning and said with a smile, "If you're not good at it, practice more."
Huo Ting was a little exasperated: "how dare you say that to me? Your handwriting is the same as mine. What's the point of laughing at others here?"
When Huo Ting wanted to talk to Chen Kang about something, he was stopped by Gu Mingxing as soon as he opened his mouth: "My deskmate is doing homework. If you are bored, go find your deskmate."
Huo Ting got a little angry when he heard this, and imitated him in a weird way: "your deskmate is the only one who wants to study. People who don't know really think you are his father, protecting him so much." He was angry here, so naturally he didn't speak here and returned to his seat.
Seeing that his deskmate was still deep in thought, he asked, "What are you thinking about? Haven't you figured it out yet?"
"Can you be quiet for a moment?"
Huo Ting leaned on the desk behind him with his hands in his pockets: "isn't the purpose of opening your mouth to eat and talk?"
"You have a brain, why haven't I seen you use it?"
"What's wrong with you today?" Huo Ting was puzzled: "Why are the three of you talking so harshly today, especially you? Did you talk like this before?"
Xu Yan elegantly took out the textbook for the next class and asked, "You were indeed a little noisy today."
Huo Ting snorted, then lay hard on the table and buried his head in his arms. Seeing his movement, Xu Yan asked, "Are you angry?"
Huo Ting secretly glanced at him sideways. Xu Yan was still doing his own thing. He didn't really care whether he was angry or not. Huo Ting locked his face in his arms: "I shouldn't have woken up today. The world changed when I woke up."
"Don't sleep."
When he heard Xu Yan say this, he thought he was trying to comfort himself, but who knew there was another part to his words: "The next English class will be a sleeping class for you."
Huo Ting lay back hard again. He shouldn't have expected Xu Yan, who said he didn't use his brain, to say something good.
The holiday was approaching, and during the evening self-study session, Gu Mingxing used the excuse of "discussion" to find Yu Xiaoan to discuss where to go for the holiday.
Yu Xiaoan smiled and said, "It's easy to come up with a destination, but I don't know where to go, it might not be in 'Chen Kang'."
Gu Mingxing showed no sign of worrying about this and said, "You didn't change during all the previous holidays, so how could you change this time?" He wrote down two place names on the draft paper and pointed at one of them with the tip of his pen: "Let's go play there? I heard there are lanterns to watch at night."
"Okay, let's call Xu Yan and Huo Ting too."
"Why did you call them?"
Yu Xiaoan replied as if it was a matter of course: "If I wasn't here, you would have someone to play with."
"You must be here," Gu Mingxing was more certain than she was, "It would be boring if you weren't here."
Yu Xiaoan analyzed: "playing alone will be a bit lonely, and you are not used to being alone. Since you are not used to it, you need someone. They are the stabilizing factor. If you want to play, not to mention that Xu Yan may have something to do, Huo Ting will definitely go, and I am an uncertain factor, so call them."
"Fine……"
Yu Xiaoan laughed at him: "Why did you agree so reluctantly?"
"I think you're worrying too much," Gu Mingxing circled the place name, "I'll wait for you at the door."
"If I can't go, remember to take more photos. I can not go, but I can't miss it."
"Don't say such unlucky words."
And that day, it turned out that Yu Xiaoan was not worrying too much, because she was really not there, or to be more precise, she was not there as "Chen Kang".
Bai Ruan looked at the time displayed on her mobile phone. She was already late. She ran, hoping that the man would not have to wait for her so long.
While running, she saw an old lady fall to the ground, but there was no one around to help her. Bai Ruan stopped running and walked quickly towards the old lady.
"Grandma, are you okay?"
"Ouch... oh... child," the old lady grabbed the soft white clothes with difficulty, as if she had grabbed a lifesaver: "My waist hurts, I can't stand up..."
Bai Ruan didn't know what to do. She was afraid that helping the white-haired old lady up would make her feel more pain and discomfort.
She took out her cell phone and called "120" while calling for help: "Is there anyone who has studied medicine? This old lady can't stand up!"
People gathered around, but no one stood up. Someone even asked what happened. At this time, the phone was connected, and Bai Ruan answered the questions in detail based on the inquiries from the other end of the phone.
Soon the ambulance arrived and the old lady was carried into the ambulance. The old lady looked at the child's worried and anxious expression and comforted him: "Child, thank you for helping me."
Bairuan said, "This is what I should do," and she asked the doctor, "Doctor, do I need to follow?"
The doctor asked: "Are you a family member of the patient?"
"I didn't know her. I just saw her lying on the ground."
The doctor said, "You don't have to follow."
Bai Ruan watched the ambulance drive away before she remembered that she had an appointment. She glanced at her phone and found that she was already an hour late.
She ran again, reached the entrance, and saw Gu Sheng.
When Gu Sheng saw Bai Ruan running towards him, he started from walking to running and finally ran towards her.
"Why are you out of breath?"
Bairuan looked at him who was also panting and said with a smile: "You are the same." Bairuan took a breath and asked: "How long have you been waiting?"
The two walked side by side, and Gu Sheng smiled and said, "It didn't take long."
"Nonsense, I'm an hour late."
"So the monitor knew he was an hour late. This is the first time he's been late."
"I won't be late next time," Bairuan said confidently, "Maybe I'll arrive earlier than you, so I'll wait for you."
Gu Sheng shook his head proudly and said, "That's impossible. I will never let you wait for me."
"Are you so confident?" Bai Ruan looked at him with suspicion. Gu Sheng smiled very confidently and said, "If you don't believe me, let's just wait and see."
"Okay," Bai Ruan asked Gu Sheng proudly, "Do you know why I was so late just now?"
"why?"
"I just saw an old lady lying on the ground, so I went to help her..."
Gu Sheng and Bai Ruan walked into the stone gate side by side. Gu Mingxing leaned his head against a stone lion beside the stone gate. He had been waiting here for two hours.
He arrived two hours ago, happily and excitedly sent a message to Yu Xiaoan, and the one who replied was Chen Kang.
So he waited. He thought Yu Xiaoan would come, so he let Xu Yan and Huo Ting, who arrived an hour later, go in first. Huo Ting asked him if he was waiting for Chen Kang, and Gu Mingxing shook his head and said no.
After seeing Gu Sheng and Bai Ruan appearing, talking and laughing, Gu Mingxing knew that he would not be able to wait for Yu Xiaoan.
He put his hands in his pockets and turned to look at the scene behind the stone gate.
As night falls, the lights hidden in the lanterns are all lit up, colorful and beautiful. Many people who come here to play hold up their mobile phones to take pictures, and some people raise their hands high and point at a lantern and say that it is beautiful, and that it looks like an animal, a plant, a monster, or a god.
Under the lanterns, the streets are lined with busy food stalls. People stand in front of the snacks they want to eat, chatting while waiting for the delicious food.
Chatting and laughing, neon lights shining, fireworks from the world, what a lively scene.
But Gu Mingxing, who was standing at the stone gate, felt that it was a noisy, dimly lit, smoky and extremely deserted scene.
He suddenly sneered, no one knew what he was laughing at. He stepped into the stone gate, raised his mobile phone, turned on the camera function, found a good-looking lantern, and pressed the shutter.
He remembered Yu Xiaoan had told him that if she couldn't come, she should let him take a few more photos. Perhaps she had anticipated that she wouldn't be able to come, so she asked him to take a few more photos for her to see so that she could see what the lanterns looked like.
In the hospital, Yu Xiaoan sat on the bed, looking out the window. The light in the ward allowed her to only see the ward and her own strange and old face through the window.
Outside the ward were the old man's family and doctors, and they were talking about something.
Yu Xiaoan couldn't hear clearly what they were saying, she just looked at the window, as if the cold light in the ward reflected on the window was like a lantern.
"I'm sorry, Gu Mingxing, I really broke the promise. You should take more photos and show them to me next time I come to see you."
She spoke so softly that no one could hear her.
The old lady's family came over, and one woman said worriedly but gently, "Mom, be sure to bring a cane with you next time you go out."
The man next to the woman was more stern: "Otherwise I won't let you go out."
The woman blamed the man: "Talk to your mother nicer."
"I remember there seemed to be a place with lanterns to watch today," Yu Xiaoan looked at the woman and asked, "Can I go?"
The woman smiled helplessly and said, "Mom, please stop acting like a spoiled child. You can't see it today. I'll go with you tomorrow."
tomorrow?
Gu Mingxing will not be there tomorrow, her only friend will not be there. She seems to be just a person watching lanterns in this world, which is boring.
Yu Xiaoan realized that she had lost her habit of being alone and wanted to play with her friends.
"I want to sleep……"
"Okay, Mom," the woman carefully smoothed the bed, covered her with a blanket, and said gently, "The doctor said you are not suitable for riding in a car or exercising tonight. You should rest here tonight, and we will pick you up from the hospital tomorrow."
"Um……"
The woman and the man left and closed the door quietly.
Gu Mingxing couldn't remember how many photos he had taken, but when he opened the album, it was full of photos of lanterns. He thought, "These should be enough for her to see."
Yu Xiaoan looked at the lights in the ward. The cold lights were not glaring, but they were ugly. She thought to herself, "The lanterns must be more beautiful than this one."
