Heartburn

That day when Jiang Mingyuan came to find Fu Nan'an, Chi Zhaoyuan heard the whole process. Outside the door, he heard Jiang Mingyuan admit that he had replaced the list, and he also heard Jiang Mingyuan begging Fu Nan'an not to pursue it any further. He said he would replace Fu Nan'an's team. His team is the son of one of his mentors, and he must repay this favor.

Chi Zhao listened to it with a smile when the words came to this point, and listened to it as a joke. His first reaction was to be relieved when he heard Jiang Mingyuan admit it. Since Jiang Mingyuan would admit it, it must mean that Fu Nan'an has some evidence , Do you need to worry about the future?Professor Fu is not the kind of person who has no principles. He will not put up with this matter just because of a few good words from others. This is not only his own project but also the project of the entire team. Professor Fu will not be unclear.

"You shouldn't be looking for me." As Chi Zhao imagined, Fu Nan'an's answer was very calm, and he was not moved by Jiang Mingyuan's plea, "You know my character, we have known each other for so many years, I am not alone It's a human project, it's a team effort, and I can't let this kind of injustice happen."

"It's not that I can't help it." Jiang Mingyuan's tone was embarrassing, of course he was unwilling to leave like this, and continued to explain his difficulties to Fu Nan'an, "All the projects are excellent, and they have opinions on whoever I replace. I have to choose one, and I am very confused about which one to choose, and I can't explain it to my superiors."

Fu Nan'an asked him: "Then why did you choose us?"

"There is a reason for choosing you." Jiang Mingyuan's tone paused, he seemed to hesitate, and when he spoke again, his voice was a little lower, but he finally spoke: "I can find a reason for choosing you, your eyes can't see , I can say that you are not suitable for this project."

Fu Nan'an was silent for a while when he said this, but the fire in Chi Zhao's heart suddenly came up. He never thought that Jiang Mingyuan would say that about Fu Nan'an.

Professor Fu's strength is obvious to all, how could it be because of a change?This is too prejudiced, not to mention that Jiang Mingyuan is Fu Nan'an's most trusted friend, he clearly knows Fu Nan'an's ability very well.

Chi Zhao clenched his hands tightly and almost rushed up. He waited for Fu Nan'an's strong and firm rebuttal. He believed that Professor Fu must be as angry as him, but as time passed, after waiting for Chi Zhao's future, Fu Silence on the South Shore.

Jiang Mingyuan spoke again, pleading in his tone: "It's really not what I thought, I really have no choice but to replace this, I really can't think of anyone to replace, only your eyes are the reason."

Fu Nan'an was silent for a long time, and finally only said three words: "Got it."

Jiang Mingyuan's eyes lit up all of a sudden, and he asked, "Are you agreeing to stop the investigation?"

Fu Nan'an didn't affirm or deny, but just said: "Go back first."

His tone was exhausted, the exhaustion that Chi Zhao had never seen before, and Chi Zhao did not believe that Fu Nan'an had such a side at all.For him, Professor Fu is absolutely confident and powerful. So many people said before that his eyes, in the countryside, in front of the vice president, he has always been very calm, and he can even joke naturally, but now his eyes His expression was not calm at all, as if twisted.

So because of Jiang Mingyuan's words, is Fu Nan'an going to give up the efforts of their entire team?Chi Zhao couldn't believe it.

Jiang Mingyuan explained in Fu Nan'an's ear for a long time again. He promised Fu Nan'an that it was only this time, and said that he would think of Fu Nan'an as soon as he had a project in the future. Fu Nan'an didn't speak anymore, and pushed him away.

Jiang Mingyuan's expression was tense when he was about to leave the house, so Chi Zhao still had expectations in his heart. Professor Fu shouldn't be the one to be defeated just because of one sentence. Professor Fu has already obtained the evidence. Would Jiang Mingyuan give up their entire team's efforts with just one sentence?Chi Zhao didn't believe that he would do this.

But Chi Zhao waited, waited, waited until the corners of Fu Nan'an's mouth curled up, waited until the other people in the group started preparing for the next project, and waited until the end of the publicity period was two days away, Fu Nan'an still didn't know anything. Did not do, his expression is still tired, he has been silent.

Chi Zhao couldn't wait any longer, standing in front of Fu Nan'an at this moment, he finally couldn't help asking him: "Why don't you fight again?"

"You were not like this before." Chi Zhao looked into Fu Nan'an's eyes seriously.Fu Nan'an frowned slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but Chi Zhao didn't wait for him to speak, but continued one sentence after another. He had endured it for too long: "You clearly told me that rights are for you Why did you give up because of Jiang Mingyuan's words? You dare not fight for your eyes because of his words? Are you going to deny all the efforts of yourself and our entire project team because of his words? We obviously can do it, and we won the first place in the defense, why are you suddenly so timid and hesitant?"

Chi Zhao questioned each sentence. He asked Fu Nan'an why he did this. His tone was disappointed. He said, "This is not the Professor Fu I know."

After finishing speaking, Chi Zhao left. There was a crisp sound when the door closed, and Chi Zhao's footsteps quickly disappeared into the corridor, so determined that he didn't hesitate.

When the sound of the door slamming sounded, Fu Nan'an stretched out his hand subconsciously, hanging in mid-air, and finally lowered it slowly.

Chi Zhao ran so fast that Fu Nan'an couldn't see him, Fu Nan'an couldn't catch up with him, and the surroundings quickly became almost silent.

It didn't know when the sky started to rain. When the dense raindrops hit, Fu Nan'an didn't hide and let the raindrops hit him.When the torrential rain hit, all senses were blurred, and the cold rain drenched his body. Fu Nan'an finally got off the roof. He wiped off the water droplets on his hands, took out his mobile phone and made a call.

That was the phone number of the staff of the Commission for Discipline Inspection.

"I have proof here," he said.

Chi Zhao was right, he did get the evidence that Jiang Mingyuan tampered with the list, Jiang Mingyuan's approach was not clever, as long as he did it, there would always be evidence.

This matter was originally easy to solve. He originally planned to directly publicize the results to raise objections and submit evidence after questioning Jiang Mingyuan. When Jiang Mingyuan mentioned his eyes without hesitation, he suddenly felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

Jiang Mingyuan said he could only look for him, and he said his eyes were the best reason.

Later, Fu Nan'an thought maybe it wasn't because of that sentence, nor because of this incident. Jiang Mingyuan's words were like the last straw that broke the camel's back, causing all his long-logged negative emotions to surge up.

He and Jiang Mingyuan have known each other for many years. Since college, Jiang Mingyuan has witnessed everything from his fall to his standing up, but he still thinks of him first in this kind of thing, just because of his eyes, just because he can't see .

More than one person and more than one thing, Fu Nan'an has experienced too much, from the initial painful struggle to the later coping with a smile.He couldn't tell whether he wanted to be distracted or numb.At that moment, Fu Nan'an was really tired. He had persisted for too long, and Jiang Mingyuan's attitude gave him the illusion that everything was futile.

At that moment, he thought to forget it, he thought maybe his efforts were really useless, he was a disabled person after all.It is actually difficult to think so much when negative emotions are overwhelming. Fu Nan'an wants to tell himself that hard work is useful, but he can't stop more negative imaginations.

Jiang Mingyuan thinks so, is there any point in fighting for it?Will others deny him because of his eyes too?

He suddenly didn't want to fight anymore, and didn't dare to fight anymore. Reason and emotion were intertwined, and he finally chose to remain silent.

This was a wrong decision. When Chi Zhao said it, Fu Nan'an wanted to understand that a person's success should not be judged by outsiders. He had used his own efforts to prove this countless times before, and he also He had told the students this truth countless times, how could he want to give up just because of Jiang Mingyuan's words?

The contradiction in thinking is a matter of a moment, and everything will be smooth after solving it. After Fu Nan'an submitted the evidence, Jiang Mingyuan still quibbled and used Fu Nan'an's eyes as an excuse. He never thought that Fu Nan'an was actually looking for He recorded that day, and when the conversation between the two was laid out in front of the discipline inspection team verbatim, Jiang Mingyuan finally had nothing to say.

"What I said is also true..." Jiang Mingyuan muttered, "It is true that you will face many problems if you are blind."

Fu Nan'an took a deep look at him. Jiang Mingyuan's words were still harsh, but he would no longer be hurt by his words. He said, "But I know that I am the one who has the ability to solve problems."

Even if the matter of the project was successfully resolved here, the investigation team issued a report after understanding the situation, Fu Nan'an's project was approved, Jiang Mingyuan also received the punishment he deserved, and everything was back on track, except for Fu Nan'an and Chi Zhao's relationship gradually cooled down.

At the beginning, it was Fu Nan'an who was running around for the project, and later it was Chi Zhao who was preparing the materials needed for studying abroad. Before they knew it, the two hadn't seen each other for a week.

During the period, Chi Zhao also apologized to Fu Nan'an on WeChat, saying that he was too impulsive that day. Still inevitably cold down.

A week passed in a flash. On the day when the project was officially approved, the whole team had dinner and celebrated together. They booked a large private room in the hotel next to the hospital. Even Chen Kaiji, a non-staff member, came, but there was one missing in the private room. silhouette of man.

"Hey, where's Brother Chi? Is he here?" Ever since Jiang Mingyuan was found to have a problem, everyone's attitude towards Chi Zhao has changed, and he is completely regarded as a hero. Chen Kaiji said half-jokingly, "So On an important occasion, why didn't our great hero Chi come?"

Everyone shook their heads, no one knew what was going on.

"I don't know, do you know?"

"I don't know, Xiaochi hasn't come for several days, right?"

In the end, everyone looked at Fu Nan'an eagerly, and asked him, "Where is Xiaochi teaching us?"

Fu Nan'an paused and explained: "He is still preparing materials at school, so he won't come over."

"Are you really not coming?" a student asked, "Do you need to give him a call? It would be a pity if he didn't come when he was so happy."

"No need." Fu Nan'an shook his head, "I asked him."

Fu Nan'an did ask Chi Zhao, and Chi Zhao did indeed refuse. He said, "Professor, I'm too busy these days, and I really don't have time. You can eat. I'll take your wish, don't worry about me."

Like talking about eating or talking about other things, Chi Zhao said to Fu Nan'an: Leave me alone.

A meal is lively and lively, but the lively dinner is coming to an end after all.When going out, someone yelled "It's so cold outside", Fu Nan'an moved his fingers, feeling cold too.

Some time ago, Chi Zhao always liked to hang out with Fu Nan'an. After the dinner party, he always found various reasons to send Fu Nan'an home. He was very good at talking, and he often made Fu Nan'an laugh with a few words. Now everyone walks back together On the way, Fu Nan'an was silent all the way, but he didn't hear the voice he was expecting.

Chi Zhao did not come, he did not lie to him.

In fact, I can understand that Fu Nan'an knew that he had hurt his heart the day Chi Zhao came out. In Chi Zhao's eyes, he had always been a gentle and powerful professor, but he suddenly discovered his hesitant and unsteady side. , anyone will find it difficult to accept, no matter what reason he has, if the filter is broken, it is broken.

People always love positive, upward, and sunny characters. No one likes a fragile, evasive, and irresponsible protagonist. No matter what the reason is, if you escape, you escape. Fu Nan'an will not deny it. After making mistakes, he will try his best to make up for them. He is just a little regretful. The relationship between him and Chi Zhao will probably come to an end here.

It is a pity that there is no other way. It is said that no one is perfect. If you want to say that it is impossible for a person to make no mistakes at all, it is true that Fu Nan'an's emotions have been accumulated for too long at that time, and there will be an explosion, but love is too precious. Feelings, not everyone is willing to continue to accompany a person after seeing his fragile and unsteady side, and Chi Zhao has no such obligation.

It feels very unaccustomed to suddenly lose someone by his side. Fu Nan'an is still walking forward step by step. It is beyond his control at this point. In the past few days, he has gone to Chi Zhao to apologize more than once. He wants to I wanted to chat with Chi Zhao again, but Chi Zhao kept saying he was busy and didn't agree to him.

The road is long, and it will end soon. As usual, Fu Nan'an sent a few students to the apartment downstairs, and not far away is the family area where he lives, but he knows that no one will turn back to see him off for a while. .

He turned around and took two steps back, when he suddenly heard someone calling——

"Professor Fu?"

It was Chi Zhao and it was the voice.

Fu Nan'an's footsteps stopped.

"Brother Chi!" Chen Kaiji became excited instantly, and walked quickly to Chi Zhao, "Brother Chi, didn't you go to school to do some business? Are you back?"

"Well, I just came back, and it's finally over." Chi Zhao and Chen Kaiji explained with warm tones, so Fu Nan'an's stiff feet moved again.

That's right, Chi Zhao is back, so what does it have to do with him?

Fu Nan'an turned around, and he tapped the ground with his blind stick to continue walking back, when Chi Zhao suddenly grabbed his wrist.

Chi Zhao's palms were hot, and he came after Fu Nan'an without even thinking about saying a few words to Chen Kaiji. His tone was a little urgent: "Professor, are you in a hurry to leave?"

"Why do you..." Fu Nan'an was stunned for a moment when the skin was touching, but he soon showed a faint smile, "Why, what can I do for you?"

He naturally found many reasons for Chi Zhao: "No one in the dormitory? Didn't bring the key? Did something fall into my place?"

There are too many reasons, more Fu Nan'an didn't think about it, he didn't want to think about it and couldn't think about it, what else could he think about, he asked a lot of reasons, Chi Zhao said no, Chi Zhao was just nervous Hold his wrist tightly.

"There is someone in the dormitory and I didn't forget to bring something. I haven't come back because I was busy," Chi Zhao said, "I think you seem to have misunderstood something. I came back today to find you. I have been thinking about it." Come on, I want to talk to you."
