Don't suffer Lao Tzu

In the early morning, Tang Shiyi went downstairs half an hour early, and there was a thick fog, and he couldn't see clearly from ten meters away.

I walked along the street in the opposite direction of my usual walk for more than 20 minutes before stopping, and the phone rang.

--Hi, it's me, where are you?

--I am here.....

There were no buildings around Tang Shiyi, as if he was walking in a dream.

--On the turntable side of the Sub-Zone Bridge

---Okay, right away

Tang Shixi hung up the phone without saying a word, and stood by the side of the road waiting for Tao Zihuai's car.

It was quiet early in the morning, save for the chirping of birds and the occasional engine sound.

Hearing the sound of cars in the fog, Tang Shixi knew that Tao Zihuai was coming, so he took two steps forward on the side of the street.

Sure enough, the white BMW drove over slowly and stopped precisely in front of Tang Shiyi.

Tang Shixi took a deep breath and opened the car door. A scent of sandalwood that he didn't like instantly enveloped him. After getting in the car, Tao Zihuai said warmly, "Fasten your seat belt."

Tang Shiyi sighed, and impatiently buckled up the seat belt with a crisp click.

When I looked up, the photo frame was gone, and I sneered in my heart.

The two didn't talk anymore, Tang Shiyi turned his head and looked out the window at the vast expanse of whiteness, he couldn't see the outline of the buildings and the forest clearly, the fog directly reflected that his heart...was empty and blank.

With poor vision, Tao Zihuai drove very slowly, and finally arrived at the cemetery. Tang Xiyi unfastened his seat belt and got out of the car first. The moisture in the air and the fragrance of the trees purified his soul.

Tao Zihuai got out of the car, opened the trunk and took out the flower basket that he had bought in advance. The black "liberation" on the pure white chrysanthemums shocked Tang Shishi's heart.

"Let's go." Tao Zihuai said.

Tang Shixi followed behind him and walked inside.

After entering the gate, Tang Shiyi didn't know if it was a psychological effect, but Tang Shiyi felt a chill behind him.

The footsteps of the two were very clear. Tang Shiyi looked to both sides, and the tombstones on the faint slope were lined up neatly. The deceased were buried here. Tang Shixi tightened his breathing and walked lightly, so as not to disturb them.

Cross the avenue, there is a small path on the left, and then go up to the stairs and slopes, the more you go, the more you go.

Although Tang Shiyi didn't know Fengshui, he also felt that the place he was going to was not very straight.

"Here we are." Tao Zihuai stopped and turned to face a tombstone.

Tang Shiyi stopped a few meters away, looking at the black and white photo of Xie Zeran, which was similar to the one on the ceramic cup, but now...he didn't even have a bitter smile.

Undisguised desperation emerged from the photo. Tang Shiyi looked away, unable to look any further, feeling very depressed.

Tao Zihuai put the flower basket away, stood solemnly with his hands folded in front of him, and bowed deeply to the tombstone.

Tang Shiyi sighed softly, took out his phone and looked down...no signal.

Tao Zihuai straightened up, and saw Tang Shiyi walking up while lowering his head and fiddling with his phone.

Seeing Tao Zihuai approaching, Tang Shiyi held the phone with a black screen in his hand, "What happened?"

"We're talking in the car?" Tao Zihuai said.

"Right here, tell me, what does Xie Zeran's death have to do with Shen Qing?" Tang Shi kept looking into Tao Zihuai's eyes.

Tao Zihuai turned around to avoid Tang Shishi's gaze, "He and Shen Qing are very close, both my students, but no matter how close they are, they will only be jealous when faced with benefits. Because of his good reputation among teachers and students, he won the first place three times, but Xie Zeran had nothing, his family was in a difficult situation, his father was seriously ill, his mother worked hard, and his younger sister who was in school committed suicide on impulse."

"I don't believe it." Tang Shishi's eyes were calm as if nothing had happened.

Tao Zihuai suddenly laughed, "Why?" He said and looked over.

"If you don't believe it, you don't believe it. There are so many reasons." Tang Shixi insisted as he shook the phone.

"Do you really believe that Shen Qing is a good person? Aren't you afraid that everything he gave you is fake?" Tao Zihuai suddenly changed his face, and walked towards Tang Shiyi cunningly.

Seeing Tao Zihuai rushing over, Tang Shiyi didn't move at all. "Trust doesn't need conditions. I believe it. I believe it. What about you? Teacher Tao, do you dare to say that you have nothing to do with Xie Zeran's death?"

Tao Zihuai raised the corner of his mouth and pointed at Xie Zeran's tombstone, "He is dead, can he still talk?"

Tang Shiyi frowned, watching Tao Zihuai pull off his disguise layer by layer with his own hands.

"He won't, but Brother Qing will."

Tao Zihuai sneered, "You may have never seen your love brother desperately begging me to give the scholarship to Xie Zeran, right?"

"What do you mean?" Tang Shixi said gloomyly.

"If Shenqing really chooses to appeal for him, will he suffer from anxiety attacks? Didn't he drive himself crazy? I promoted him, favored him, and tried my best to give him enough opportunities. It turns out that I was wrong. He will always Hesitantly dragging back the past in the same place, standing still, and finally refusing even Baoyan, against me? It is clearly self-destructive, I don’t understand why some people believe in such a person unconditionally?”

Tang Shiyi looked at Tao Zihuai's vicious face, "You will reap the consequences."

"Tang Shiyi, if you have enough power, you can cover the sky with one hand. I think you should understand the meaning of this sentence because of your family's background. Xie Zeran is not in my plan for Shenqing at all, but he is stubborn about it. The south wall, no one else is to blame for this, no one to blame me—" Tao Zihuai said, looking back at Xie Zeran's tombstone, "It's just your ignorance of the world"

"Enough power?" Tang Shiyi asked.

"As long as the number of scholarships reaches the number of times, the school where he is guaranteed graduate school will pass. In order to get the application for these three times, Xie Zeran became a victim, and I tried my best to give him the opportunity, but he didn't want it. This is not stupid. What... The only thing I did wrong was that I didn't recognize Shen Qing, so he is as stupid as Xie Zeran." Tao Zihuai spread his hands and smiled helplessly.

"So...you changed their grades?" Tang Shiyi asked with suppressed anger. He needed to be patient before the truth finally came to light.

"The second time the two got the same score, I changed Xie Zeran's score by one point at the end. The scholarship was for the application. The third application was canceled, but I dropped the paper and it was still for the application... ...." Tao Zihuai suddenly laughed as he spoke, as if he had been moved by how great what he had done.

"Aren't you afraid that I'll tell others?" Tang Xiyi raised his eyebrows.

"You can go on and on about it, just like Shen Qing was mad at the time to vindicate Xie Zeran. In the end, he almost lost his student status. It was because I protected him that he was able to be stable in school... But Tang Eleven, are you really capable of protecting him? At the end of the day, you are just a child, and you are more than successful than you are, yelling at each other, what have you done for him?" Tao Zihuai approached step by step, his eyes almost crazy , Tang Shiyi seemed to see the shadow of Shen Qing in Tao Zihuai's eyes, what a deep and twisted love this must be...

"I removed all the obstacles for him, but I couldn't even get a word of thanks, and as soon as you appeared, Shen Qing's heart followed you. Why? What are you? You can really last forever? Have you ever thought about it? What about the future? In the final analysis...you are just a child." Tao Zihuai said viciously, the anger and jealousy in his eyes reached the extreme.

"You drove his friend to death in a frenzy, and you used means to give him a disgraceful reputation. You always controlled him to follow your plan and made him into a... Now this pair has to rely on pretending to suppress his true nature. You still want him to thank you and make him fall in love with you?" Tang Shiyi gritted his teeth and almost crushed the phone screen.

"Trying to drive away everyone around him, and let him rely on you alone? Do you think that the relationship between people is as fragile as paper, and you can listen to you at will? Or do you think that you can be true because of your high degree and high status?" Omnipotent? Have you ever asked him how he feels? Do you know how much Xie Zeran's death has cast a shadow on Shen Qing? You don't know anything fucking. You deserve to be a teacher...you don't even deserve to be a human being." Tang Shixi put his phone in his pocket, rushed up and grabbed Tao Zihuai by the collar, his heart was burning with anger.

"Tao Zihuai...are you setting yourself too high? If I were you and did this kind of deed, I should be the one who jumped off the building, not Xie Zeran. You should kneel in front of his tombstone until your head is bleeding." It's not an exaggeration to be an ox or a horse...you should be the one who died." Tang Shishi fiercely pushed Tao Zihuai away, utterly spurning him.

"Heh, Shen Qing is nothing more than an abandoned child in my eyes...without my protection, he has nothing—"

Tang Xiyi rushed forward with a punch, and the muscles in his back tensed instantly to drive all the strength in his body. Tao Zihuai fell back two or three meters without exaggeration, knelt on the ground and covered his face with his palms together. The pain was so painful that he couldn't make a sound.

"Does it hurt?" Tang Shiyi rushed up and kicked Tao Zihuai over, "Tao Zihuai, you have never appeared in Shenqing's life, only me."

"You just continue to deceive yourself and others in your perverted dream of spring and autumn... Besides—" Tang Shixi took out his mobile phone, and Tao Zihuai stood up tremblingly while clutching his bleeding nose.

Tang Shiyi turned on the phone, and the recording page was displayed, and the time was still going on. All their conversations just now were recorded by the phone.

"I often walk by the river, where are the non-wet shoes, Teacher Tao, wake up, if you continue to pester me and Brother Qing, I will be happy to make this recording public." Tang Shiyi shook his mobile phone in front of Tao Zihuai shaken.

Tao Zihuai wiped his nose, leaving a dark red mark with blood, the hatred and anger in his eyes were fully revealed, he looked embarrassed but suddenly morbidly laughed, "I was really careless."

"You go, I don't think Xie Zeran wants you to stay here too long and pollute the air." Tang Shiyi put away his phone and looked at Tao Zihuai domineeringly.

Tao Zihuai stared at Tang Shishi for a few seconds, took out a handkerchief from his jacket pocket to stop the nosebleeds that were gushing, turned around and walked away as if he was defeated.

Tang Shiyi held the phone tightly and looked at Tao Zihuai's panicked back with complicated emotions. He probably never thought that the seemingly impulsive child would become a hindrance to him.Even when he was running away, he looked around to see if anyone could maintain his image, the car started immediately, and it took several rounds before driving out...

The roar of the car in the cemetery reverberated around. Tang Shishi stood in place and listened to the sound of the car fading away. He turned around slowly and let out a sigh of relief. He looked at Xie Zeran's photo quietly. He stopped there forever. On the top of the building, life was still in the sound of the wind and the screams of the falling building.

Tang Shiyi couldn't fully perceive the pain he was carrying and the despair he felt, as his heart was weighed down by something extremely heavy and he couldn't breathe.

Tang Shixi sat down on the open space between the two tombstones, next to Xie Zeran, took out his mobile phone and put it gently in front of Xie Zeran, and said calmly, "It's not the time yet, brother Qing is still at school, I need a bargaining chip in my hand, just wait...I will speak for you..."

Tang Shiyi reached out and gently touched Xie Zeran's tombstone. It was extremely cold, like the temperature in his eyes.

In the cemetery in the early morning, the surrounding birds chirped together, and the fragrance of trees and soil lingered in it. Tang Shiyi suddenly felt that this place was actually very good, without the noise and disputes in the city, and everything returned to harmony and tranquility. Thinking of this Maybe it's what Xie Zeran has always wanted...

The fog receded, and the sun shone into the cemetery, gently stroking every person sleeping here.

There are soft footsteps approaching...

Tang Shiyi looked up vigilantly, and saw Shen Qing walking over.

The moment their eyes met, Shen Qing stopped in her tracks and looked at Tang Shiyi who was sitting next to Xie Zeran's tombstone in disbelief.

"Brother Qing..." Tang Shiyi was at a loss for words.

Shen Qing showed no expression and walked over, "Why are you here?"

"I.....it's a long story..." Tang Shishi was at a loss for words.

"Today is the anniversary of his death..." Shen Qing's voice was hoarse.

Tang Xiyi understood Tao Zihuai's intentions in an instant, and let himself put down his guard first, and put out a bait to lure him here. Knowing that today is the anniversary of Xie Zeran's death, then Shen Qing would definitely come, seeing himself with him, It was in front of Xie Zeran's tomb again...but he didn't expect to be forced back by Tang Shiyi before the time was up...

"Did Tao Zihuai bring you here?" Shen Qing asked.

"Well...he told me something about Xie Zeran." Tang Shixi said truthfully.

A trace of fear and disgust flashed in Shen Qing's eyes.

"Brother Qing...these are not your fault..." Tang Shixi said softly.

Shen Qing stood there without speaking, looking at Xie Zeran's photo blankly.

"Brother Qing, listen to me, Xie Zeran's death has nothing to do with you, don't take all the mistakes on yourself." Tang Shiyi grabbed Shen Qing's shoulder and forcibly faced him, staring into Shen Qing's eyes.

"I know Brother Zeran's grievance. It's not your fault. What you did was right. It's not your fault. Do you understand, Brother Qing!"

Seeing that Shen Qing's condition was not very good, Tang Shiyi put his hands on his face and looked directly at him.

"Shhhhh, shhh, let's not look at him, shall we?" Tang Shiyi approached Shen Qing's face and said patiently, "Brother Qing, come, look at me, I'm here, look at me... .”

Shen Qing took a breath, the warmth on her cheeks awakened him from the memories, and she turned her eyes to Tang Shiyi.

Seeing Brother Qing's reaction, Tang Shiyi breathed a sigh of relief. He remembered clearly what was said in the book. Now Shen Qing was already in an anxious stage, and he had to divert his attention to calm down.

"Brother Love? Think about when we were together, we met for the first time in a haunted house, strolled in a small house by the river, played on a swing, watched a fountain, watched a movie, fed pigeons, and looked at a garden that had no flowers... ok Is it? Be obedient, I am by your side now, there is nothing to be afraid of, I am here..."

Seeing that Shen Qing was always in a state of fear, Tang Shiyi felt as if his heart was burnt by being put on a pan.

"Brother Qing, don't be afraid, don't be afraid, it's all over, I'm here... Eleven is here..." Tang Shiyi whispered, tilting his head and lightly pecking the corner of Shen Qing's mouth, the tip of his nose Rubbing the tip of his nose, he felt Shen Qing's gradually calming breathing.

Tang Shiyi kept whispering like this, and after an unknown amount of time, Shen Qing finally responded to the outside world, closed his eyes and sighed softly, and embraced Tang Shixi in his arms...

"Eleven... are you there..." Shen Qing's voice was hoarse.

Tang Shiyi's heart twitched, and he buried his face in Shen Qing's shoulder, and nodded, "I'm here."

After Tang Shiyi finished speaking, he felt that Shen Qing tightened himself in his arms again, and Shen Qing's deep and trembling voice came from his ear——

"Great....."

Tang Shiyi's nose was sour, his eyes were blurred, he was silent, and he stroked Shen Qing's back with his hands.

"Listen to you something." Tang Shiyi left Shen Qing's embrace, took out his phone and pressed the play button, and Tao Zihuai's almost sickly laughter and sinister tone came out.

Shen Qing paused for a few seconds, then came to her senses, and looked at Tang Shiyi in surprise, "Did you record it?"

"En." Tang Shixi pressed the pause button, and the surroundings returned to silence.

The two looked at each other for a long time, and Shen Qing didn't know what to say for a while.

"Brother Qing, I have always believed in you, but I just wanted to see what Tao Zihuai wanted to do, so I followed. Compared with hearing things about you from other people, I hope you will say it yourself Tell me, but it is your right to say how much, and I will respect your choice no matter what. Brother Qing, I will stand with you, with me, you must be happy, nothing else." Tang Shiyi pulled Shen Qing hand, looking sincerely into his eyes, "It's not pressure, but I hope you are well."

A smile finally appeared on Shen Qing's cloudy face, mixed with emotion and joy. He didn't know what kind of blessing he had cultivated, meeting such a perfect person as Tang Shiyi...

"I know Tao Zihuai looked for you." Shen Qing said.

Tang Xi paused, "Then why didn't you mention it?"

Shen Qing was silent for a few seconds, then smiled lightly, "Because I believe in you too, Eleven."

Tang Shiyi looked into Shen Qing's eyes, smiled too, tilted his head and kissed her...

Brother Qing..... I will protect you from now on

The two stood side by side in front of Xie Zeran's tombstone, and Tang Shiyi quietly took Shen Qing's hand.

"You said if he was still alive, what would he be like now?" Shen Qing asked softly.

Tang Shiyi glanced at Shen Qing, thought for a while, and said, "It will be excellent..."

"However..." Tang Shixi paused for a moment, "A peaceful and worry-free life...maybe what he wants most..."

Shen Qing sighed softly, squeezed Tang Shiyi's hand tightly, looked at Xie Zeran's photo, and said in her heart:

You are not alone, you have us

Neither do I

"What are you thinking about?" Tang Shiyi turned his head to look at Shen Qing's side face, the morning light fell into Shen Qing's eyes, and the brown pupils showed a touch of sadness.

"It's nothing, let's go down the mountain and go home." Shen Qing smiled lightly.

"it is good."

"Brother love, how do we go back?"

"I came by bicycle."

"Is it Xiao Hei?!"

"Well, it's been a long time since I saw it, right?"

"That's right... Zhang Jun said that you are pulling a cool car."

thank you....eleven

The author has something to say:

Hungry Dog struggled a lot when writing this chapter

How should I put it, it is the idea that the most dangerous place is the safest place.

Instead of thinking about various conspiracies and schemes, it is better to let Eleven use the simplest method to rule Tao Zihuai.

Although the cuties may think it is childish or too simple and straightforward...but isn't it our common dream to wipe out Tao Zihuai, as long as the matter is resolved, hahahaha!

I love you all, it’s all ninety chapters, and I’ll continue tomorrow.
