meow if you are happy

Chapter 85 Scars
After a long time, he continued: "Seeing you like this, I was really happy for you... At that time..."

When Teacher Zhang said this, a trace of guilt flashed across his face: "I have always felt guilty. As a teacher, I failed to protect you at that time. I have never been able to find any evidence..."

"Teacher Zhang." Hearing Teacher Zhang mention the past, Chi Yan lowered his eyes slightly, "You have done enough. At that time, you were always helping me find evidence to prove my innocence. When I was bullied, you also You stood up to protect me."

Teacher Zhang is just a mortal, and it is impossible to protect Chi Yan all the time.For him, he has tried his best.

Teacher Zhang shook his head: "It's useless for me. As a teacher, I should protect students from being bullied, but..."

He couldn't ignore the results of other students just for Chi Yan.

"The matter is over." Chi Yan raised his head and looked at the old man with some gray hair on his temples. "You really did a good job at that time, and after so many years, I have already let go."

After hearing what he said, Teacher Zhang felt a little relieved.

Before leaving, Teacher Zhang took Chi Yan's hand and said, "You, come back and have a look when you are free."

Chi Yan nodded.

"Then I will visit you again when I have time." Chi Yan simply stopped explaining and said goodbye to Teacher Zhang.

Chi Yan took Xiaoxiu and left Teacher Zhang's residence. It would take some time to walk from the school staff building to the school gate, and the two of them had nothing to say along the way.

When he was about to reach the school gate, Xiao Xiu suddenly grabbed Chi Yan's hand, and his voice sounded a little timid: "Chi Yan~ Did something bad happen to you in high school? What Teacher Zhang just said..."

Xiaoxiu didn't fully understand the conversation between Teacher Zhang and Chi Yan, but he probably knew that it must be something bad.

Thinking back to the time when she was curious about Chi Yan's performance in high school, Xiao Xiu also roughly guessed a little bit.From the beginning, Xiaoxiu has been hesitating whether to ask or not.

"It's okay." Chi Yan knew that Xiao Xiu was worried about him. He stopped and reached out to touch her head, "It's all over, really."

Hearing what Chi Yan said, Xiao Xiu felt relieved. She stepped forward and held Chi Yan's arm tightly: "Shall we go home later?"

Chi Yan nodded.

"Chi...Chi Yan?" Chi Yan and Xiao Xiu had just walked to the school gate when they heard someone calling him from behind. He turned around and saw a man of similar age waving to him.

he is……

Chi Yan searched in his mind, but there was no memory related to the man in front of him.

Just as Chi Yan was thinking hard, the man ran all the way to Chi Yan. He looked at Chi Yan with some embarrassment: "I thought I recognized the wrong person. It's really you."

"you……"

"I'm Cheng Fei!" Xu Shi saw Chi Yan's hesitation, and the man in front of him began to take the initiative to introduce himself, "Ah, don't you remember? I was in the next class in high school. We fought together. basketball!"

Cheng Fei...

Some pictures flashed through his mind. Chi Yan looked at the face in front of him, and in a trance he saw the textbook that had been cut up at that time, and the laughter that echoed in his ears.

"Hey, what's going on with your book?"

"Did you get retribution for doing bad things?"

"You deserve it!"

The book was cut to pieces, the bathroom door was locked, and... Chi Yan couldn't help but reach out and touch the scar on the other arm...

Those long-forgotten fragments came back to his mind. Chi Yan looked at the person in front of him and said after a long time: "It's you, why are you here?"

"Oh, I'm here to help my sister deliver something to her son." Cheng Fei seemed to have something to say. He scratched his head and only uttered two words for a long time, "That..."

"Huh? Is something wrong?" Chi Yan still looked at the person in front of him calmly.

"You are much more handsome than before. I can't even recognize you." Cheng Fei hesitated, and finally smiled and greeted Chi Yan, "We haven't seen each other for so many years after graduation. I didn't expect..."

"Well, you are different from before." Chi Yan's tone was very cold.

"Oh, what are you talking about? I haven't seen him since I graduated from high school. It's normal that I didn't recognize him." After finishing speaking, Cheng Fei looked at Chi Yan awkwardly.

There was embarrassment in the air, and the two of them really had nothing to talk about.

It was Chi Yan who spoke first: "I have something else to do."

"You are busy, you are busy." When Cheng Fei heard what Chi Yan said, he immediately took a few steps back with a smile, "It suddenly occurred to me that I still have something to say to my little nephew, so see you later."

Chi Yan nodded and took Xiaoxiu to the school gate.

"Chi Yan..." Unexpectedly, the person behind him caught up with him again. He seemed a little nervous. He took a deep breath before he dared to continue, "I'm sorry, Chi Yan."

Chi Yan didn't expect Cheng Fei to suddenly apologize.

"I'm sorry. At that time, others said it was you who did that, so we misunderstood." Cheng Fei didn't dare to look into Chi Yan's eyes. He lowered his eyes and continued, "You were too worried at that time. , you didn’t know how to resist when you were bullied, we thought you acquiesced, so you thought it was okay and continued..."

"I know that we did something very outrageous at that time. However, under the circumstances, you did not resist, nor did you provide evidence to prove your innocence. In addition, although we were classmates at the time, we usually spoke Not much, I don’t know you very well, and I don’t know if you are really like the legend. After all... that incident was very scary in the school. "

After a pause, he continued, "I know what I say now seems to be making excuses for myself, but at that time, at that age, you would be encouraged by the atmosphere, right? And other adults in the school didn't care, except for Teacher Zhang... But at that time, someone in the school said that Teacher Zhang favored you, which was unfair... I... I'm really sorry. At that age, I really didn't realize that I was really bullying you. At that time, I just felt that I was doing harm to the people. I... you You know what I mean, right? I only found out later, and felt that something was not right, and wanted to apologize to you, but you have already transferred to another school."

"It's been a long time since this happened, but in my heart...every time I think about it, I feel very sorry for you, and I always want to say sorry to you. In fact, I saw you just before you went to see Teacher Zhang, but I felt too embarrassed to see you. , I hesitated for a long time before I dared to wait here for you to come out... I just want to apologize, I'm sorry."

Cheng Feiyue spoke in a lower voice, "At that time, if an adult had stood up and guided me, it really wouldn't have happened like that..."

"It's okay." Chi Yan said, his hand touching the scar never leaving.

——Humans are good at self-deception, how could it be okay, how could they not care?How could those dark and difficult pasts and the scars left by bullying be treated as if nothing happened just because of a "I'm sorry"?
However, the man in front of him was still apologizing: "I'm really sorry..."
