It's winter, and there is no sign of snow, and the air in City Z is a little dry.

Wen He put on a scarf and hurried out. Before he left, he changed his shoes and told his uncle who was temporarily staying here: "Uncle, if you are hungry, go and buy something by yourself. The meatball noodle downstairs is very good. I'll go to it." It's school." Without waiting for his uncle to respond, he rushed into the elevator.

Wen Ce actually got up early and ran around for a few laps before eating breakfast, so he smiled and said nothing, went back to his room and contacted a private detective, and asked someone to investigate a phone number at a high price.

Wen He stuffed his mouth full of steamed stuffed buns with meat stuffing in two mouthfuls, and rushed to school in the wind on his bicycle.In fact, there are very few students like him in Z University, and most of them are outstanding people from all over the world. They can't wait to study hard day and night, even many lecturers and professors are like this.

While parking his bicycle, Wen He suddenly saw a person, looked him over and hurried up to strike up a conversation: "Teacher, you are the one from the Chinese Department... the lecturer on some classical major?"

Fang Linchuan, the lecturer of "What classical major?" was taken aback for a moment. He didn't know why so many people greeted him recently, so he smiled and said, "Classical literature major."

"Yes, yes, Teacher Fang, well, my cousin likes you very much, and I always want to ask you for an autograph." Seeing that his expression was slightly distorted, Wen He quickly said, "My cousin also published the book you published earlier. Bought the copy, but didn't get the autographed version, and they pestered me every day knowing that I was also at Z University."

Fang Linchuan agreed after thinking about it, and asked casually: "Students also like these academic things now? I always thought that only old people like us would take a serious look at it."

"Hahahaha, no, my cousin said that a friend of hers recommended it to her, and said it was 'very basic', with a natural rotten smell." Wen He originally wanted to say that his cousin was gay, but after thinking about it Still didn't say it casually.

Fang Linchuan was quiet for a while, not wanting to speak.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Wen He held back for a while and didn't dare to talk nonsense, but couldn't help it: "Teacher, please sign for me."

Fang Linchuan was actually a little embarrassed, took out the pen that he carried with him, wrote his name on the note pad, and tore it down to Wen He.

Wen He thanked him with a hippie smile and then rushed to the teaching building to attend class, thinking that no wonder the little girls like his cousins ​​like him, the writing is really good, the key person is also good-looking, he is the standard male second type who is handsome, gentle and kind, It's much easier to touch than being cool and domineering.

Wen He is a sophomore class, and there is relatively more time in the class schedule this morning.He is an engineering major, majoring in optoelectronics. At the beginning, the name of the picture was cool, but now he realizes that there are many related extended courses and experimental courses, and the content is also very extensive.

After the day's class was over, Si Wenhe Dog dragged his feet and pushed his bicycle back home.

It gets dark early in winter, especially in City Z, which is relatively to the east. It gets dark before five o'clock. When Wenhe returns home from class, there are only some lights and street lights in some 24-hour shops on the road.If it snowed a little, the atmosphere would probably be warmer, but now Wen He only feels gloomy, and his right eyelid keeps twitching.

The road from school to home is a big road, but there are many alleys in Z City. When Wen He was riding through an alley, he was suddenly kicked by someone, and he and the car fell into the gutter next to him.Before he could react, several people had already dragged him into the alley.

Fang Linchuan stayed in school very late, and suddenly realized that his parents came today, so he hurriedly packed up the materials and went home.

He frowned when he heard some beating and scolding sounds as he was passing by an alley, but he still stopped the car, picked up a brick by the side of the road, and walked in.

The boy was squatting at the base of the wall, with no injuries on his face, he clasped his hands together and bowed to the people surrounding him begging for mercy: "Let me tell you a few people, I have paid off the principal and interest, and the interest of one more month will be paid off." What's the matter?"

"Don't bother asking you to give me the money." Several people cursed and wanted to punch again.

Fang Linchuan smashed it up with a brick in his hand, one fell down, and the remaining three were a little surprised by his gentle appearance, so they sneered and hit him up.Since Fang Linchuan dared to make a move, he still had something to rely on. In high school, he took advantage of the winter and summer vacations to learn Sanda for three years. Later, he never slackened up and exercised regularly.

The little bastard had experienced many battles, and he cooperated to beat him, but the others were secondary to force.One circled around Fang Linchuan's waist from the back and wanted to wrap it around. Fang Linchuan's waist was actually very afraid of being touched by others. He trembled and immediately stepped on the feet of the person behind him. A crisp bone cracking sound exploded in the ears of several people.

"..." Fang Linchuan actually didn't think so, but who let him touch his waist.

Although those begging for money ran away, Fang Linchuan was inevitably hit a few times, and his forehead was bruised.

The boy came up and wanted to thank him, but he was startled and said guiltyly, "Fang...Teacher Fang."

Fang Linchuan glanced at the boy who asked him for an autograph during the day, and raised his eyebrows: "This is the first time I've seen a student from Z University in such a desperate situation, borrowing a loan shark?"

"Yeah." The boy picked up the bicycle. Fortunately, he didn't fall too hard and he was able to ride it. "There was a bit of a conflict at home. I was a little nervous about paying the tuition a while ago. I didn't have any place to borrow money, so I asked these people to borrow some. Actually It’s been paid back, but they’re pestering me to ask for more.”

"How old are you. Can't you borrow money from your classmates?" Fang Linchuan frowned and kept driving at the same speed as Wen He.

Wen He chuckled: "I'm sorry." He thought he had already borrowed it all, and even several teachers couldn't help him.

"How embarrassing can you be? How embarrassing can you be? Huh?" When Fang Linchuan said this, he didn't notice that although Wen He was beaten a bit hard, his face didn't show at all. On the contrary, it was Fang Linchuan, who looked like he was in a fight. .

Wen He pursed his lips: "Teacher, take a look at your own face first."

"..."

When Wen He returned home, he found that Fang Linchuan and him lived across the street. Because of the time difference, they hadn't met each other before, and their fields of expertise were also far apart, so naturally there was no intersection.

Wen He said with a smile: "Since the teacher is the opposite door, we neighbors must help each other. Although we both specialize in arts, I will tell my cousin later that she must be happy to come to my place."

Fang Linchuan thought goodbye, just smiled, his ears were red and he didn't say a word.

Wen He saw that he was not very happy, and understood quite well, no one would be willing to be pestered like this, especially since the teacher looked so cold and cold, he must have a thin skin?

When Fang Linchuan returned home, Xu Juan was cooking when she heard a sound and poked her head out of the kitchen: "Linchuan, what do you usually eat? You can go to the cafeteria or eat better at home. There are no fruits and vegetables. No, not even snacks. I made some soup to make up for it.”

"Put more food." Fang Linchuan replied after hearing the words.

"Okay, you don't need to eat so much meat at night." Xu Juan nodded.

City T and City Z are not too far adjacent to each other, but they are considered cross-province.When Fang Linchuan was studying in University Z, he lived on campus, and later he studied in graduate school and stayed on as a teacher. Fang Qing rented a house near the school. Later, Fang Linchuan decided to develop in Z City, and quietly bought it with the money he saved. One apartment, the rented house was returned, and it took two years for Fang Qing to find out.

Although Fang Qing and Xu Juan thought it was too tiring for him to bear the housing debt by himself, they were also happy that their son could afford it on their own, so they came to stay for two days during this period.

"Mom, will you teach me how to cook? Just a few dishes you are good at." Fang Linchuan said as he went into the kitchen and picked up the dishes.

Xu Juan boiled the lettuce into the soup, and the aroma was overflowing. Fang Linchuan liked this green piece the most: "Why do you want to learn to cook? You were forced to refuse to learn before. Is it not good to eat here? I look at the building In the next few stores, even breakfast has a spicy taste, and sooner or later it will get angry."

Fang Linchuan smiled: "It's nothing, I got used to it slowly. I suddenly want to learn, always...I always want to cook a meal for others, don't you know I've started it, it's a mess."

He didn't speak clearly, Xu Juan didn't know what was on her mind, she was very sad, she pushed him lightly: "Okay, go out, you are still crowded here, go talk to your dad. Hey you How did you get this head? Don’t tell me it fell! It only fell on the head, and the clothes are not dirty at all?"

Seeing the bruise on Fang Linchuan's face, Xu Juan put down the spoon and touched it.

Fang Linchuan pushed her hand away without any trace, and turned back to the living room: "It's okay, it's not a big deal, I helped a student, and I accidentally knocked it, I just apply some medicine."

Xu Juan originally wanted to follow, but thinking about her son's age in his late twenties and the incidents that had happened in the past few years, she didn't dare to chat with her.

Fang Qing was watching the evening news. Seeing Fang Linchuan coming out, he patted the armrest of the single sofa next to him: "Come on, tell me what you plan to do in the future. You just bought a house by yourself without saying a word. If you think we are dragging you down, why not?" You don't want to drag us down? Other people's children are going to die and wish their parents could buy three suites, you're fine."

Fang Linchuan adjusted his glasses, but before he could speak, Fang Qing frowned and asked, "What's going on with your head?"

Reluctantly, Fang Linchuan took out a small medicine box from under the coffee table, squeezed some medicine and applied it on himself: "It's okay. You are always surprised. Go on."

If Fang Qing and Xu Juan want to put it aside, they must let Fang Linchuan explain the cause and effect clearly, but now as long as he says it's okay, he doesn't dare to ask any more questions. If it's really serious, Fang Linchuan will say hello to them, which is okay rest assured.

Fang Linchuan took a sip of the soup, and his whole body became much warmer. City Z does not have heating in winter. Although the air is relatively dry now, there is no need to worry about humidity and coldness, but winter nights without heating can kill people.

"I'm working as a lecturer now, anyway, take my time, I have to wait for a few years to become a professor, so I plan to develop here for the time being, and relatively speaking, the cultural environment in City Z is much better than City T, and I personally prefer I tend to go here." Fang Linchuan explained a little bit, and continued, "I have almost mastered German, and it happens that the school will lead a team to Germany next year for an exchange study program, which has a lot to do with our department. It will last for two years. I want to think about it."

In fact, he doesn't really understand why he has such a big obsession with German or going to Germany. It may be a pure liking for a country that is said to be rigorous and restrained.

Fang Qing and Xu Juan were stunned for a while, and said a few perfunctory words.

Fang Linchuan saw that their minds were not on this, so he took a few mouthfuls of vegetables: "If you are tired, go to rest first, it's not good to go to bed too late. I'll just do the dishes."

"Okay, remember to put the leftover soup in a bowl and put it in the refrigerator." Xu Juan reminded.Fang Linchuan responded, and she and Fang Qing went back to the room.

Xu Juan flipped through WeChat, but there was nothing interesting, so she put down her phone and lay down, looked at Fang Qing next to her: "Tell me, Linchuan has always wanted to go to Germany, is he still thinking about his classmate?"

Fang Linchuan lied a few words to other students when he didn't know the news at the beginning, so he found out.

Fang Qing sighed: "Otherwise? I knew it earlier... Sigh, where do I know so much now? The key is that you have intentions and no intentions. After bringing Lin Chuan back, he still subconsciously called people. It's okay, just turn off the phone directly. You jumped to an empty number. You were so angry that you broke Linchuan's mobile phone number in half, so you had to change the phone number, let alone whether he would give up his family business in Germany and come back. Even if he came back, what would he use to contact Linchuan? Don't you dare come to see us? Will it be like back then... still want to be with Linchuan?"

Fang Qing had mixed feelings in his heart, and he didn't keep the door open, saying all the bad things.

Xu Juan's face turned pale, and her eyes were red: "It's all my fault... We were able to support Linchuan in other matters, but why did we not know about this kind of matter and caused him to suffer so much. His classmates also have many What a child, I always feel like I have ruined two children for so many years..."

"Why are you crying again?" Fang Qing helplessly wiped his wife's eyelids.

Xu Juan glanced at him, held back her tears, sniffed and said, "It's been almost eight years, Linchuan is like someone who stays at home all day, except for the two of us and the people we know in school now, you Let's see who he remembers? It's been eight years."

Fang Qing was silent.

The two struggled and felt uncomfortable for a long while, Fang Qing stretched out his hand to turn off the lamp beside the bed, but both of them couldn't sleep well, they were groggy until midnight and managed to sleep for a while.

Fang Linchuan got up early the next day. Although he didn't have his class, he developed a habit of getting up early to exercise in the past few years.

Fang Linchuan simply cooked a millet porridge, added some beans in a mess, and then knocked on his parents' door.After knocking for a long time, no one answered, Fang Linchuan was a little worried, so he knocked twice more vigorously and called a few times, then he heard Fang Qing hoarsely reply: "I heard, you take some cold medicine, me and Your mother is feeling a little sick."

Fang Linchuan hurried to get a board of pills, mixed it with slightly hot water and put it on the table.Fang Qing and Xu Juan got dressed and came out. Fang Linchuan served them two small bowls of porridge: "Drink some porridge to rest your stomach first. If it's not enough, then fill it up. The air in Z city is dry. You've been in T city for a long time. It will definitely not suit you.”

"You did the same at the beginning?" Xu Juan blew on the porridge.I have a bad appetite when I have a cold, and I don’t eat much even if I pretend to be something. This amount is just right.

Fang Linchuan nodded: "It was okay at the beginning. I paid attention to drinking plenty of water and exercising a lot. I didn't catch a lot of colds. It snowed once, and I didn't take it seriously. I had a fever for a few days."

Xu Juan nodded.

Wen He went back the night before and found that his uncle was still awake, so he praised Fang Linchuan happily.

Wen Ce said nothing.Wen He saw that he was not interested in these things. To be honest, his uncle didn't seem to be very interested in anything, so he hurried back to his room and called to please his little cousin.

Wen Ze was ten years older than Wen He. After graduating from high school, the Wen family dragged him to Germany to study at university.At that time, Wen He was surprised that this uncle was too young.

The private detective called, and Wen Ce went to the balcony to catch it: "Hello."

"Mr. Wen, you reversed the mobile phone number you gave me once. It was used by a man for three years. It was used by a woman eight years ago. She is a very young high school student and has now graduated from university. " said the other end.

Wen Ce nodded subconsciously: "Okay, then help me check the current situation of the previous owner."

"it is good."

After hanging up the phone, Wen Ce heaved a sigh of relief.

He glanced out, the sky was full of stars.
