The breeze does not pass me by

Chapter 5 Liang Chan is gone

Liang Chan didn't study by herself in the evening.The math teacher who came to give a lecture found out and immediately notified Zhang Caiqin.

Zhang Caiqin came to the class, frowned and looked at the empty seat, and asked Liang Chan's deskmate: "Where did your deskmate go?"

Lou Xinyue stood up and replied, "I don't know, she was still in the last class in the afternoon, and she didn't come back after dinner."

Zhang Caiqin glanced around and asked other students in the class: "Have you ever seen Liang Chan?"

There were a few sparse responses from below.

"never seen it."

"I met her when I was eating in the cafeteria, but I don't know after that."

"What can happen in school, she is always alone..."

Zhang Caiqin didn't listen to their nonsense, and contacted several teachers to search around the campus, the library, the laboratory building, the canteen, and the places that students often go to, but there was no sign of Liang Chan.

I asked the doorman, but there are so many students coming in and out of the school every day after school, the doorman has no impression.

Zhang Caiqin didn't have Liang Chan's contact information, and when she was in a hurry, she suddenly remembered that her guardian, a Mr. Shao called her last night.She promptly retrieved it from the call log and called back, but the reminder that "the user you dialed has turned off" came from the phone.

Zhang Caiqin was discouraged and had no choice but to continue looking for someone.

After two nights of self-study, there was movement on Zhang Caiqin's cell phone, and Mr. Shao called.

There was an extremely gentle and comfortable voice on the opposite side, and he said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Mr. Zhang, I'm busy with work and my phone is turned off. What can I do for you?"

He could think that the head teacher's call was related to Liang Chan, but he couldn't guess what it was.

Zhang Caiqin anxiously said: "Liang Chan is gone, we can't find her everywhere, has she contacted you?"

"What does Liang Chan's disappearance mean?" Shao Linfeng calmly asked, "She didn't go to school?"

"No." Zhang Caiqin said carefully, "She was there all day long, and disappeared after dinner. She didn't come for evening self-study. Her academic performance is very good, and she has never been absent from class before."

"Okay, I see." Shao Linfeng said, "I'll try to contact her first, and I'll get back to you later."

Shao Linfeng took off the coat hanging on the hanger, put it on while walking, went out from the study, and asked Aunt Rong to call the driver, he was going out for a while.

At the same time, he made a call from the mobile phone in his hand.

The bell rang for a long time, and when Shao Linfeng gave up hope, the phone was connected. There was the sound of howling wind, and Liang Chan's voice was mixed with it, so weak that it was almost inaudible: "Mr. Shao."

Even though she skipped class and ran out, Shao Linfeng didn't lose his temper, he just asked her, "Where are you?"

Liang Chan: "I'll be back soon, you don't need to look for me."

Shao Linfeng asked stubbornly, "Where are you?"

Liang Chan had no choice but to report the address.

The driver just drove the car out of the basement and parked it in the courtyard. Shao Linfeng put away his phone and went out.

A strong wind blew up at night, blowing a few strands of hair on his forehead. Shao Linfeng sat in the car with a bow, and told the driver the address, which was the famous Li River Bridge in Yicheng.

When the car stopped at the bridge, Shao Linfeng saw the paper-thin figure from a distance, standing precariously in the middle of the bridge, as if it would be blown off the railing by a gust of wind at any time.

The bleak wind lifted her hair, and her long hair seemed to be expressing dissatisfaction with teeth and claws, covering her face.

Shao Linfeng got out of the car and approached her. Before he could speak, Liang Chan caught a glimpse of someone approaching from the corner of his eye, and said with a smile, "Did you know? Before you came, a traffic policeman on a motorcycle passed by and thought I was going to commit suicide by jumping into the river. The car pulled me off the bridge to take me home. I said I was just going for a walk and my parents were coming to pick me up."

She said a joke, because the voice was so weak that it made people unable to laugh.

Shao Linfeng took off his thick woolen coat and put it on Liang Chan's shoulders. When she turned her head, he saw that both her cheeks were swollen and bloodshot, and immediately frowned, "What's going on? I'm with you guys." The head teacher said, let her deal with the student who beat you, did she not care?"

Liang Chan didn't want to discuss this matter, but only noticed that after he gave her the coat, he was only wearing a woolen sweater, which was dark black, and the place where the neckline met the skin was in sharp contrast.His skin is too white, and the black is more intense.

"I'm asking you something." Shao Linfeng stared straight at her as if he didn't feel the cold.

Liang Chan didn't know where to start. She raised her face that was pale with cold, and said softly, "The teacher is very good to me, but she can't help me with this matter, and no one can help me. I deserve it."

The more she spoke, the softer she was, like a good child who did something wrong and was willing to be punished.

Shao Linfeng grabbed her by the arm like a chicken, took her into the car, and told the driver to drive back.

Passing by a convenience store, Liang Chan glanced at him cautiously and said, "I want to eat oden, can I?" In fact, she is not hungry, she just wants to eat something hot to make her body less uncomfortable.

Shao Linfeng raised his eyes, the driver stopped the car, and Liang Chan went down to buy oden. Shao Linfeng was rarely in the mood to sit with her on the high stool in the convenience store.

A whole glass wall is clean and clear, opposite is the road full of traffic, intertwined with neon lights.

Liang Chan knew that he had too many questions to ask, so she took a bite of the soft boiled radish, and she took the initiative to raise the topic: "Didn't my uncle tell you about my family's situation?"

Maybe it's because the family ugliness should not be publicized. Ye Peiyong only said that Liang Chan lost his parents, but did not elaborate.

Liang Chan pushed the paper tube between the two of them: "Do you want to eat? This fish steak is delicious."

"You can eat." Shao Linfeng thanked Bumin, he never ate these.

Liang Chan thought of it, and didn't force him, she ate two skewers silently, and then she said something surprising: "My mother cheated two years ago."

She witnessed her mother going out in the middle of the night, hugging and kissing a man she had never seen before under the street lamp.

"She wants to divorce my father. My father disagreed, and the two dragged each other for more than a year. Finally, my mother couldn't bear it and forced her to die, just to get a divorce certificate and be with the man she liked."

As Liang Chan spoke, she lowered her eyelids, and her eye sockets, which had been dried by the wind, were covered with mist.She couldn't see what was in the paper tube, so she stuck it with a bamboo stick for a long time, but the ball that fell into it still couldn't get up.

Shao Linfeng didn't interrupt, and handed over a tissue.

Liang Chan sniffled, said thank you in a low voice, wiped away her tears and continued, "My father let go, the only request is to meet my mother's lover before going through the divorce procedures. My mother also knows how ridiculous this request is. , but in order to get rid of my dad, she didn't care so much, and invited that man to come to the house to meet. My dad cooked a table in advance, waiting for my mother and her lover to come to the door. During the meal, he went to the kitchen and detonated the gas tank... …three people perished in the flames."

Liang Chan couldn't stop crying, the whole paper was wet.

Her father is such an honest person, she couldn't figure out why he would do such extreme things, maybe he was really driven to nowhere before he wanted to drag everyone to die together.

Shao Linfeng kept silent, neither comforting nor asking other questions.

What Liang Chan needs most is a listener.

From the time of the accident to the present, she had heard too many comforting words, and she no longer needed them.

*
The two went back very late, and Aunt Rong found the medicine box to give Liang Chan some medicine.

"Why are you injured twice in three days, the school teachers don't know how to restrain you, and the child has to take the college entrance examination, what should I do if this continues to affect my studies?" Aunt Rong was angry and distressed, her eyes were red.

Shao Linfeng stood in front of the French windows in the living room and called Liang Chan's head teacher.

Only then did Zhang Caiqin know that Liang Chan had been beaten again, which was worse than the last time. She felt deeply guilty, and kept trying to blame her on the phone, blaming herself for not caring enough about the students and failing to handle the conflicts among the students well.

From the information disclosed by Liang Chan, it was not difficult for Shao Linfeng to deduce that the girl who beat her was the daughter of her mother's lover.

Liang Chan lost her parents, and the girl lost her father. She had nowhere to vent her grief, so she transferred her hatred to Liang Chan, never thinking that Liang Chan was also a victim.

Liang Chan rested her hands on her knees, and when Aunt Rong was treating the wound on her face, her eyes never left the man in front of the French window for a moment.

He held a cigarette between his pale and slender fingers, and was only wearing a V-neck sweater. His side face was as quiet as the most beautiful moon in a midsummer night. He lowered his head and talked with the person on the phone. Buddhas and Bodhisattvas enshrined in the temple.

Xu Shi noticed something, Shao Linfeng turned around, and met Liang Chan's gaze that he hadn't had time to look back.

Liang Chan was flustered and hurriedly turned her face away, but she didn't expect that Aunt Rong just reached out a cotton swab and poked it on her cheek, causing her to bite her lip in pain, tears streaming down her face.

After finishing the call, Shao Linfeng extinguished the cigarette, walked up to Liang Chan, and said in a negotiating tone: "I didn't think carefully before, and thought that explaining the situation to the teacher would stop it, but now it seems a bit hasty. Little Chan, would you Willing to transfer? I can help you with the formalities."

It's really not wise to transfer a student who is about to take the college entrance examination, but if she lets it go, she may not have a clean environment to study, and the college entrance examination is still hopeless.
