adversity girl

Chapter 6
"Teacher Gu."

Yan Manjia retreated to the stairs and greeted Gu Zhi politely, then turned and walked down the stairs.

The evening self-study has ended for nearly half an hour, and the teachers in the office are also preparing to leave and go back to the dormitory to rest.

"Walking in crowds is safer."

Gu Zhi said gently in a low voice.

Yan Manjia was stunned at the stairs, she never thought that Teacher Gu would respond to her, her eyes stayed on the ground, recalling that he would also ask herself questions in Teacher Gu's class before, and if he didn't answer, he would carefully answer her questions. Explain to myself that other teachers are indifferent to me and only take care of students with good grades, but Yan Manjia realizes that he seems to be different from other teachers. He is not only rigorous and realistic in class, but also makes mistakes after class. The students who asked the questions were carefully and patiently explained.

Yan Manjia looked up at the empty aisle, recalling what happened last night, she ran up the stairs and looked at Gu Zhi's back in the aisle, and soon there was no one in the teaching building.

"I...can I trust you?"

This sentence seems to have not been carefully thought out, but the meaning of this sentence has long been buried in her heart for a long time.

This was the only time she expressed it directly, and she didn't understand why she asked such a sensitive question, but it was also the safety she needed most.

Yan Manjia looked around and found that there was no one there, so she raised this question to Gu Zhi cautiously. Yan Manjia had a tense expression, pursed her lips slightly, held her schoolbag tightly with both hands, her teary eyes were dim, and she blinked continuously The eyes, the eyes are tense and loose.

Gu Zhi stopped slowly, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, without any obvious curvature, he pushed his glasses, turned around and walked slowly towards Yan Manjia.

"Before you asked the question, you already had the answer."

Gu Zhi stopped at a safe distance three steps ahead of Yan Manjia, and said in a gentle tone.

"I... want to leave... here."

The bright moonlight set off her fair face, and endless tears flowed from the corners of Yan Manjia's eyes. At this moment, all she wanted was to leave this place that made her hate and fear, and she didn't want her brain to recall the terrible things. Before, she pinched her right arm with her left hand.

"Then make yourself stronger."

Gu Zhi noticed Yan Manjia's behavior, stepped forward, and gently grabbed Yan Manjia's right hand.

"Do not hit me."

Yan Manjia subconsciously backed away from the outstretched hand, curled up at the classroom entrance, her head was tightly covered with her hands, her whole body was trembling, and her eyes were closed tightly.

Gu Zhi frowned, his lips parted slightly, and looked at Yan Manjia who was curled up in surprise. He looked around and saw that the teachers and students had finished walking, and slowly squatted down and carefully opened his hands to help Yan Man good.

"I won't hurt you, trust me."

Gu Zhi said gently, his indifferent expression became warm.

Yan Manjia gradually calmed down, calmed down and listened carefully to Teacher Gu's magnetic and gentle voice, not her mother's brutal and fierce voice, slowly opened her eyes, put down her hands, and stood up slowly.

"Teacher Gu, I...I'm fine."

Yan Manjia looked around. It wasn't a closed and narrow space, but bright lights and fresh air. It wasn't an invisible darkness, and there was no stinky smell. She squinted her eyes and felt deeply. Taking a deep breath, he walked down the stairs again.

"It's so late, the teacher will send you back."

Gu Zhi walked past Yan Manjia, walked in front of Yan Manjia, looked back at Yan Manjia with a smile and said.

Although Gu Zhi was usually very humorous and full of smiles in class, Yan Manjia felt that it was the first time he saw such a pure smile from Teacher Gu, and a long-lost smile emerged, and the cute dimples could not be hidden.

"it is good."

Yan Manjia said with a smile.

The street is very quiet at night, only the barbecue shop opposite the school entrance is a little lively, there are a few tables and small benches outside, all of which are full of people, the boss finished grilling a plate of skewers, and another person came in the freezer I took a bunch of skewers in the bag, including grilled wings, grilled sausages, and ribs.

The proprietress took it, and skillfully sprinkled the seasoning behind the grill. There were also a few old men drinking in the shop, drinking skewers while toasting, gulping beer, and would soon lose consciousness.

Gu Zhi walked to Yan Manjia's right, looked at the few boys outside the barbecue shop happily eating skewers, and cleared his throat.

"Isn't it good to sleep in a comfortable bed?"

Gu Zhi looked stern, and reprimanded several male students in other classes he taught in a cold tone.

Several students suddenly felt a little bit of chill. When they heard the strict and deep voice, they knew it was the chemistry teacher.

Gu Zhi looked at the backs of several students running away in a panic, and smiled helplessly.

When it should be strict, Gu Zhi is also very strict.

Although Yan Manjia lives not very far from the school, it takes more than ten minutes to walk.

On the side of the street, there is only the buzzing sound of bees flying around under the street lamps, and there are stray dogs looking for unpalatable food discarded by others, even though there is no one around.

"What was your name yesterday morning?"

Gu Zhi quickened his pace, walked in front of Yan Manjia, and said in a lower voice.

Yan Manjia stopped in her tracks, stared at Gu Zhi in a daze, she couldn't believe what Gu Zhi said, and she didn't want to admit that someone knew her difference.

She pretended not to hear, and continued to walk in front of Gu Zhi as if nothing had happened.

"If you don't tell me, teacher, how can I distinguish you from her?"

Seeing that Yan Manjia didn't respond, Gu Zhi continued.

Yan Manjia stopped under the street light. Under the light, she had short, shiny shoulder-length hair. The chilly evening breeze gently brushed her cheeks. Strands of hair brushed against her perfectly layered facial features. A piece of broken hair couldn't help but keep kissing her moist mouth, she swallowed nervously, the curve of her jaw was clearer than the mountain in the painting.

She frowned and blinked continuously.

She hesitated, not knowing how to face Teacher Gu's question, she gently brushed the hair on her lips behind her ears.

Seeing that Yan Manjia did not respond for a long time, Gu Zhi walked up to a safe distance of three steps in front of Yan Manjia with his long legs.

"The first step in trust is not hiding."

Gu Zhi's attitude was very sincere, and he said very gently.

Yan Manjia looked up and saw Teacher Gu's eyes were very kind and sincere under the street lamp, and her heart began to shake slowly.

"She... doesn't have a name, but she will have one in the future."

Yan Manjia pursed her lips lightly, her eyes gradually faded from apprehension, and she looked at Teacher Gu with anticipation in her eyes. She seemed a little timid, and the worry of adversity in her heart was still lingering.

"I am home."

Yan Manjia walked to the stairway between several stores and stepped on it. The dim yellow light on the top of the corner of the stairwell lit up.

"Okay, the teacher will leave after you go up for a while."

The street lights behind him rendered Gu Zhi's slender legs, and he looked like a model in front of the lights.

Yan Manjia took out the key from her schoolbag, and turned the key slowly. After all, the door was too old.

No matter how carefully Yan Manjia opened the door, there would still be a sound. Yan Manjia stepped in lightly and closed the door lightly, but the door was disobedient, and it had to make a sound to close the doorframe obediently.

Although the sound of the door was not loud, Gu Zhi's ears were relatively sensitive. As soon as Gu Zhi, who was leaning against the wall, heard the sound of the door closing, he put his hands in his trouser pockets and walked away with calm steps.

He walked alone in the center of Pingning Street. He kicked and kicked as he walked, and jumped up when he kicked. He took this street as his stage as he danced, and a picture emerged in his mind. Step forward in time to perform at the lively Stage Pool.

He is dazzling on the stage pool, and his handsome and tall figure is even more powerful in his gorgeous dance costumes. His unique dancing posture full of confidence on the stage has attracted the attention of many girls in the audience, especially the eyes of one of the girls never left him. , The sweat from his waving on the stage soaked his strands of hair, and he never stopped for a moment.

At the end of the dance, there was applause. He was exhausted, and his dance clothes were soaked in sweat. The applause did not stop at the curtain call. He bent down and bowed to express his gratitude. The sweat from his hair dripped drop by drop on the stage, leaving Suddenly his smile broke into the girl's eyes unexpectedly.

What Yan Manjia said just now further proved that Gu Zhi's speculation was correct, which made Gu Zhi more determined that his decision was correct. However, he recalled Yan Manjia's behavior in the teaching building, which made his own He was very puzzled in his heart. He seemed to guess that maybe the relatives in her life treated her badly, but he was helpless. He could only let his guess disappear and silently pray that his guess was wrong.

But his guess never went wrong.

"I don't want to be punished to kneel, so wash the bowl quickly."

Yan Manjia's father opened the door, and the fierce eyes in the crack of the door were extremely terrifying. His father yelled at her, and then closed the door with a "snap".

The sound of the door made Yan Manjia tremble all over. She stood still and did not dare to move. She took a deep breath to calm down, and hurried back to the room, put her schoolbag on the chair lightly, and then walked into the kitchen carefully. Washing the dishes, not daring to make any noise to disturb my sleeping father.

In the room, the father opened the drawer and took out a wrinkled photo. It was a photo of himself and his wife with a little boy in between. His rough hands trembled and stroked the little boy in the photo, and his expression became deep.

The scene from a long time ago appeared in my mind. The sunny park was full of laughter and laughter, and it was a place for children to play. On the slide, there was a sunny and handsome little boy sliding from the beginning to the end.

The little boy stopped where he was, then ran to a person who was holding his thigh tightly, and said with a smile: "Dad, I am very good today."

The father squeezed the little boy's face, took the little boy's hand and walked home. When climbing the stairs, the father whispered in the little boy's ear. As soon as he opened the door, the little boy took off his shoes and rushed into the kitchen. With a bright smile, she pulled the apron of her mother who was cutting vegetables, and said coquettishly, "Mom, I want candy."

The mother gently put down the kitchen knife, took out a box of candy from the apron, bent down and touched the little boy's head, looked into the little boy's eyes with tender eyes, and said softly, "Did your father tell you?"

The little boy shook his head, took the candy and put it in his arms, looked at Ge You's paralyzed father watching TV in the living room, and whispered in his mother's ear, "Yes."

The little boy bounced back to the room, and the mother smiled gratifiedly when she saw her son beaming. When she was about to pick up the knife to cut vegetables, she heard the sound of her husband watching TV and laughing. She glanced back at him. Then he wiped the water from his hands on the apron, went to the living room and pulled his husband's ears.

Said in a whispering voice: "Didn't I tell you not to tell your son."

The father broke away from his mother's hand and glanced at her. He changed the channel with the remote control and said, "Tang, what a surprise, my gift is what my son wants most."

Mom looked at Dad suspiciously and said, "Yes."

Then he smiled and left the living room and entered the kitchen to start cooking his son's favorite dish.

The delicious dinner is in progress, the son blows out the candles after making a wish, and while his father is eating the meat with relish, he mischievously smears the cake on his father's face, the son runs after his father, and the mother looks at the cake with pity, A hand was stretched out to her, and there was happy cream on her face. She saw the joy on the faces of her son and husband, and realized that the cake released the meaning of existence, and the whole room was full of laughter...

Dad reluctantly put the photo in the drawer, covered it with a quilt and went to sleep.

Yan Manjia had just finished washing the dishes, and she sat on the chair in a state of confusion. She picked up a pen and looked out the window at the white crescent moon in the dark sky. At this moment, the moonlight shone into her piercing eyes , She was so amazed that she began to write and tell the other herself everything that had happened.

She put the pen cap on the table, looked at the moon in the dark night, lay down on the table, slowly closed her eyes and fell asleep, entering her consciousness space.

After a while, another soul woke up. She rubbed her eyes and saw the words on the table. Her expression became heavy like a bolt from the blue. Her sad eyes looked at the lonely moon outside the window, and she continued to look at Yan Manjia. The written text, the last sentence directly poked into her heart.

The last sentence of the text: "What I need most is always you."

She couldn't hold back her emotions anymore, she held the paper tightly, her eye sockets were already moist, and the corners of her mouth were drooping. At this time, the gentle moonlight shone on her face, and scratches were drawn one after another on her fair little face. She looked at the bright white moon, touched her forehead with one hand, covered her mouth with the other, and wept a little.Strands of hair and beard were stained with tears on the face.

But she was crying with joy, she smiled and had two dimples on her cheeks, wiped away her tears, picked up a pen and started writing.

What makes her happy is that Yan Manjia finally mustered up the courage to start trusting the people around her, and she also feels that Teacher Gu is worthy of trust.

Text: "I am here because of you and my name is because of you."

Simple Jane, blank empty, is her name.

Yan Manjia will always need Jian Kong.
