Exclusive Memory Chapter 11 Part 3

The next day, Zhang Lili said nothing about her drunken talk about her network status. I don't know if she remembers and pretends that nothing happened. The busyness and fulfillment of military training suddenly diluted the impression of this matter in my mind.

Seeing these half-grown children leave their parents and come here to study, I can't help but think of myself back then.

"Teacher, when you let your hair down, you look a bit like that sassy girlfriend." A boy said.

"What sassy girlfriend?" I wondered.

"It's the Korean drama "My Sassy Girl"."

"Actually, there is quite a difference in figure." I said modestly.

"It's not about the height, it's mainly about the bun face."

"..."

Is this kid bullying me?

What bun face, this is called baby fat, I complained wordlessly in my heart.

On the way, Zhang Lili and I took a ride back to the city to do some shopping, but unexpectedly, we ran into Chen Ting outside the professor's college.

"Teacher Chen." Seeing that I couldn't dodge, I bit the bullet and called out.

"Oh, Xue Tong, it just so happens." He approached, "I brought some special products to Mu Chenghe from my hometown, they said that he went on a business trip when school started, I thought you were there, so I brought it, but I didn't expect that there was no one after coming twice."

I glanced at the things in his hand, and he didn't speak secretly, it seemed that he also knew that I lived here, since he avoided Mu Chenghe alone and came to me, he just wanted to talk to me.

"Teacher Chen, go up and sit down." I said.

Opening the door and entering the house, I poured him water and sat down awkwardly.

Chen Yan looked around the living room, but remained silent for a while.

Regarding the matter between me and Mu Chenghe, I feel a little guilty about Chen Yan. He gave me so much earnest persuasion and warning, and now it seems that all of them have fallen on deaf ears.

"Mu Chenghe told me about you." He spoke first.

Unexpectedly, what he listened to was not gossip, but Mu Chenghe's confession.

"Well." I said.

"Mu Chenghe seems to be smiling all day long, and he can talk to everyone, but he doesn't really fit in well. Since you're together, you must not let him down. He can't bear that kind of blow."

After hearing Chen Ting's words, I thought, why do these words feel like the father-in-law said to the son-in-law! What can I do with him?

Chen Ting lit a cigarette, "Have you lived here recently?"

"Our school is doing military training, and when Mu Chenghe is not around, he wants me to go to the school dormitory, and he doesn't want me to live here alone." Maybe it's because I'm afraid.

He took a drag on his cigarette and glanced around the room.

"Xue Tong, Mu Chenghe and I have known each other for about ten years. I am an only child and have never had brothers or sisters. He is four years younger than me. I have always regarded him as my younger brother. Maybe he thinks the same way."

"He often talks about you studying abroad together."

"When I tell you this, I don't think of you as my student, just a friend, or a younger sibling." His brow furrowed in the smoke, "So we're talking from an adult's point of view."

"I see."

"I went to Russia after graduating from high school. At that time, I did not do well in the college entrance examination, and we had relatives doing business there, so they sent me there. I studied the preparatory course first, and then took the general college entrance examination."

I listened intently, not understanding what he was trying to express by recalling these.

"It took me two years to meet Mu Chenghe. At that time," Chen Ting pondered, "he was about seventeen years old. It is said that he is very famous in the circle, the first is good brain, the highest scholarship is rarely given to foreigners, but he is the only one, so young but higher than my grade, the future is immeasurable. The second is that he is good-looking, and there are many girls who are seven or eight years older than him and have a crush on him. Itching. The third is that he has a good temper, which is so weird that even if you slap him for no reason, not only is he not angry, but he is also happy with you, as if nothing happened."

"I just think it's so strange that a half-old child can be taught like this so well. Is this normal? It's either dead or insane."

"Until I saw him smoking marijuana."

My heart skipped a beat, "Marijuana?"

"He is well concealed. If I hadn't lived with him and observed him carefully, maybe I wouldn't have discovered it. If I hadn't discovered it then, maybe you wouldn't have met Mu Chenghe now."

Some playful children come to study abroad, maybe they have not graduated at all, they squander the tuition and living expenses given by their parents, and when they graduate, they make a fake diploma and go back to the family, there are many such people. But Mu Chenghe is not. We know that his family has a background, otherwise they wouldn't be consulate people at the New Year.

"I won't come to see him specifically. But he was surprisingly well-behaved, quiet and docile, how could he have thought that such a good child actually smoked marijuana, and it was not for a short time." Chen Ting said.

"But why does he?"

I asked Chen Ting, but I wanted to ask Mu Chenghe.

Chen Ting stood up and looked around the living room.

"Do you know why he doesn't want you to live alone in this house when he's away?"

I shook my head in disbelief.

"It is said that this room has been renovated twice. The previous gate was not the current security door, but an old-fashioned one, with a glass window above and a wooden door below." Chen Ting described it.

"I know what you're talking about, the glass window above can open a little gap." I answer.

"Just enough to hang a short rope, tie a knot, hang it on the door frame, and hang it is very convenient."

I also know that a female inmate in my mother's prison committed suicide with shoelaces in this way, and I saw the woman who attempted suicide in the hospital at that time. But thinking of what Chen Ting said to me, as well as the truth that was about to be understood, my hand began to tremble uncontrollably.

"This is how Mu Chenghe's father died, and he was not in good health for a while, but he talked a lot about it, so he told me this. He said he was sleeping in his bedroom and woke up in the morning to see his father hanging like this, and his body was stiff. ”

When the truth was torn apart, a surge of pain approached the brain , as if all the water in the whole body had gathered in the eyes and wanted to burst out. I wanted to cry, but I didn't like doing this in front of outsiders, so I quickly stood up, widened my eyes desperately, and took a deep breath.

"I know, I know, I know..." I kept repeating this sentence to Chen Ting.

Seeing this, Chen Ting approached me and patted my head.

"I only told you this now that you are a big girl. It was not easy for him. He had been taking antidepressant drugs for the past few years. After all, I am still an outsider. He will tell you some things himself. Xue Tong," He pondered and said, "I hope you love him sincerely, if not, maybe it's not too late to retreat now."

Later, I went to the agreed place to take the car back with Zhang Lili. While I was on the way there, there was no sound.

The first time I went to his house, he said in joking tone that someone had hanged himself on the door, and I thought it was really a joke.

No wonder he had a house and ran to squeeze Chen Ting.

No wonder he said that without me, he would not have the courage to live there any longer.

Talking on the phone with Mu Chenghe at night, I felt extremely sour, but I didn't know where to ask about those things.
