me and the king next door

Waiting for the phone to pick up seemed to take a long time. I stared at the tiles on the hospital wall, and my mind was completely empty at this moment.

How could it be? The school committee must have made a mistake.

I thought about it, and actually smiled, and the phone was picked up at this moment.

"Hello? Who is it?"

I hesitated for a second: "It's me, Teacher Lu, I'm Xie Jiayu."

Lu Fang snorted, "Xie Jiayu, what's the matter?"

When I was a student, I usually didn’t call my head teacher. In fact, in the end, I was still afraid of the teacher in my heart. Those words rolled around in my mouth, and I still didn’t know how to say them.

Lu Fang asked me again: "Did something happen?"

Me: "Mr. Lu, I want to ask about my liberal arts department."

After talking for a few minutes, after putting down the phone, I just felt like I was fished out of the ice cellar.

After my repeated confirmation, my list of liberal arts and science subjects has indeed been changed, and Ms. Liu handed it in herself.

Lu Fang's first words after hearing my question were: "So you know everything?"

So I know everything?

As soon as my face became hot, tears rolled out like pearls.

It turned out that I was the only one who didn't know.

Lu Fang: "Your mother is also doing it for your own good."

All the way to the end, I couldn't say a few words, because I was afraid that if I opened my mouth, my emotions would collapse at that moment.

Lu Fang: "Actually, I don't agree with your mother's approach, but she promised me that she will convince you. To be honest, as your head teacher, I also think that choosing science is more helpful to your future."

"It's okay, you can talk to your mother when you go back."

I stood facing the wall for a few minutes, and when I calmed down, I raised my hand to wipe away my tears, but I didn't dare to enter Zheng Bao's ward again, so I just sent him a message: I'm leaving.

Ms. Liu returned home very early today. She was promoted recently, and her salary has also increased a lot. She is smiling happily.

When I got home, she had already finished the dishes. When she heard the sound of my closing the door, she shouted in the kitchen: "Jiayu is back? Put down the schoolbag, wash your hands, and eat."

I didn't answer as usual, I put my schoolbag at the entrance, took off my shoes and went in silently.

On the dining table are braised pork ribs, fried garlic moss, fried small yellow croaker, and a pot of bone soup in the middle.

The hot air rose slowly, making my eyes turn red.

When I got home, the anger mixed with grievance and sadness surged up again, and my eyes started to water again.

Ms. Liu hurriedly brought up a plate of food, then turned back to serve the meal, and didn't notice anything unusual about me.

I looked at her busy back, thinking, why?

Ms. Liu went early in her previous life, so she didn't wait until I got married and started a business.

Probably because I used to be mediocre and not very smart. She never expected me as much as other parents. Although she would talk about it occasionally, she didn't ask much from me, just be safe.

Maybe there is only one son like me. Ms. Liu has lost her husband, and her parents have already left. She has almost no one to rely on except me, so she often depends on me for everything I do.

I don't understand why she would secretly change my wish.

Ms. Liu sat on a chair, looked at me standing, and said, "What are you doing standing up, sit down and eat soon."

I sat down slowly like a log, and Ms. Liu picked out a piece of spare ribs and put it in my bowl: "Try it quickly, is it delicious?"

I picked up the chopsticks, poked the piece of meat in the bowl, pinched it twice, and finally put it down.

Ms. Liu: "What's the matter today, you don't eat what you like the most?"

My lips trembled, and I suddenly raised my head to look into her eyes: "Mom, did you change my arts and sciences?"

Ms. Liu was taken aback for a moment, she froze for a few seconds, and suddenly an awkward smile appeared on her face: "You...you know."

When I heard what my class teacher said, I wasn't so sad yet. Hearing what she said, my heart felt like a knife had been gouged out.

Ms. Liu put down the chopsticks in her hand, with a dodge on her face: "Jiayu, be good, listen to mom."

As soon as her voice fell, my emotions completely exploded at that moment. I couldn't stop shaking when I spoke, but I still suppressed it and tried to say to her in a calm tone: "Mom, change it back for me."

Ms. Liu rubbed her hands and looked at me: "Jiayu, didn't you tell mom that you want to be an engineer?"

That's what I said when I was still playing with tractors in kindergarten. She used these words to block the gun, and I was so angry that I couldn't say anything.

Ms. Liu knew that what she did was very bad, she wiped her hands and smiled dryly: "Jiayu..."

I stood up abruptly, pushed the chair back, and the stool's feet rubbed against the floor, making a screeching sound. I turned around too far, and accidentally knocked the rice bowl on the table to the ground. The porcelain bowl immediately shattered with a "pop", and the rice was scattered all over the floor.

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw that Ms. Liu's eyes were red, but I still didn't stop. I walked straight into the room and closed the door.

I was reluctant to yell at her, but she did such a thing, and I couldn't finish the meal with her in peace and harmony. stand up.

Maybe if I stay by myself for a while, I will calm down, maybe if I stay by myself for a while, the resentment in my heart will pass, and I will understand her good intentions.

But I stayed by myself, sitting blankly on the bed, but I didn't think that I would calm down after staying by myself for a while.

That unwillingness and anger seemed to be slowly brewing, accumulating more and more.

I suddenly covered my head in pain and started to cry.

Why it came out like this.

I am no longer the Xie Jiayu I used to be. In the past, I would not have cared whether I chose liberal arts or science. But now, I have a new life, and I want to live as I want to live.

Without Wang Xun, I thought it would be fine, but Ms. Liu...she is my mother.

My eyes were covered with water, but at this moment my mind was terribly clear.

I stood up, opened the door and walked out.

The dishes were already cold, and Ms. Liu was sitting on the sofa, seemingly in a daze.

I went over and said to her: "Mom, I want to study liberal arts. The teacher said that as long as the school hasn't started yet, the parents can sign a consent form to change the subject."

Ms. Liu looked at me. She seemed to have cried too. I had never hurt her. Just now when the bowl fell on the floor, she seemed to be taken aback.

Ms. Liu asked me: "Do you really want to study liberal arts?"

I sat next to her and nodded: "If you help me change it, I won't be angry with you."

Ms. Liu pinched her sleeves with her hands: "Go and eat first."

Ms. Liu sat on the sofa alone, not knowing what she was thinking, she was stunned for a long time, and said by herself: "Forget it."
