Chapter 9 Amy: Until Death (4) -2

Shi Yan took the phone number Yao Xiaoping gave her and went downstairs to make a call. She was in a surprisingly good mood, which she didn't even expect. It seemed that she was more concerned about psychological enjoyment than actual benefits.With the opportunity to stay in school, if I don’t go, I won’t be disappointed, because it’s not the school that doesn’t keep me, it’s I who don’t go; if someone chases me, I don’t agree. Boyfriend, it is true that no one is chasing after him; now I don't have a boyfriend, it's because I look down on those chasing people. She dialed twice and dialed the number of the building where Zhuo Liang lived. After a while, the concierge called Zhuo Liang to answer the phone.As soon as Zhuoyue came up, he asked, "Are you ready for the money?"

Now she is no longer fooled by him, he just likes to make her lose her temper, but she just doesn't lose her temper.She calmly said: "The money is ready. Thank you for helping me, but I thought about it for a long time yesterday and decided not to stay in school and go back to my hometown." She felt that he should react a little too much when he heard the news, whether it was because he liked her or because she didn't accept his favor, he should have reacted a little bit too much, but he didn't, and just said: "Then I'll think about something else Find a way."

"You think about it again?" Shi Yan was stunned for a moment, fearing that Zhuoyou hadn't heard clearly, she repeated, "I don't want to bother you, I—I don't want to stay in the teacher's college, I want to go back—to my hometown— " Zhuo Zhuo answered irrelevantly: "I'm a bit busy these two days. I'm catching up on a manuscript, and I'll do it in two days—" She found that what she said was like water dripping on the back of a duck, and it disappeared in a blink of an eye, leaving no trace at all.She raised her voice and said, "As I said, I don't want to stay—"

"You don't need to be so loud, your ears are numb—" Embarrassed, she lowered her voice and said, "If it's not so loud, you can't hear it—" "Why can't I hear? I just omitted a part of the conversation in the middle. You said you don't want to stay in the school, but you actually mean that you don't want to stay in the scientific research office, right? Then I'll see if I can help you stay in the department here, but I’m working on a manuscript these two days, so I have to wait for two days—” She realized that she underestimated him just now, thinking that he didn't hear, or didn't understand, but he actually understood, and contacting what she said yesterday, she deduced that she just didn't want to stay in the scientific research office.This made her speechless, because she really just didn't want to stay in the scientific research office, if she stayed in the department, she was still very willing.Maybe that’s how he speaks. He likes to omit the middle paragraphs, and only speaks from the beginning to the end, so that you can’t keep up with his speed; , he uttered the second half of the sentence again, embarrassing you extremely.

She was a little ashamed, so she chattered away to make fun of her: "What manuscript are you writing?" "Oh, for higher education, the magazine is waiting for—" When she heard the word "higher education", she wished to think that what he wrote was about his own teaching practice, and said casually, "It seems that you have quite a lot of teaching experience—" He guessed at a few paragraphs that she had omitted, and declared: "I am not writing about teaching practice, but about higher education theory—" She had no choice but to continue to mock: "I'm too ignorant. But you -- don't you study politics?"

"Undergraduate studies in politics—" He swallowed another half sentence, but she could guess that the second half was "the graduate student changed his major".She felt that she was more used to his way of speaking now, and she was a little proud of herself.She has always admired those who can publish articles in newspapers and magazines. No matter what newspapers or magazines, as long as their names are turned into typefaces, they are very important in her mind.Seeing that he was about to finish the manuscript, she couldn't bother her anymore, so she hurriedly finished it: "Then go ahead, I won't bother you—"

If he changed his words to say "not busy" now and wants to talk to her more on the phone, it means that he is a little interested in her, but he said straightforwardly: "Okay, then I'll hang up the phone." After finishing speaking, Just hung up the phone. She was a little disappointed, but quickly forgave him, went to the school library, found the section on higher education, and found that there were not many magazines in this area, so she found a few and flipped through them.I really don’t know if I don’t read it. I was surprised when I read it. The name of Zhuoyue appeared a few times. Most of them were written with a person surnamed Wei, and most of them were signed by the surname Wei first, followed by Zhuoyue. Sometimes there are several authors, which seem to be written by Zhuo Liang with his tutor when he was studying at K University.

Now her admiration for him arose spontaneously. She used to think that he was lucky enough to be admitted to K University, because "luck" was her only explanation for the results of the college entrance examination, but now it seems that he is not only lucky, but also It is a combination of talent and luck, both talent and luck.You can't help but love someone who is so favored by fate. She suddenly remembered that Huang Hai didn't publish many scientific research articles, maybe Huang Hai didn't talk about it.She ran to Huang Hai's professional section to find Huang Hai's articles, but there were too many journals and magazines in that specialty, so she had no choice but to give up.Considering that Huang Hai spends so much energy on social surveys, it is normal to have no scientific research papers published, but her admiration for Huang Hai cannot "spontaneously" arise, more or less put him in the "good luck" category went.Of course, she didn't publish any research papers herself, but she blamed it on the broken brand of C Provincial Teachers College.The school is not famous, the teacher is not famous, where can I publish things?

She read the article written by Zhuoyou, and had to honestly admit in her heart: I don't understand it, and I'm not interested. After all, it's not a novel, and it's not my major. How can I arouse any interest?But seeing Zhuo Liang's name printed in type, articles collected in academic journals, and placed on the shelves of the school library, even if no one else reads them except her, still made her awe-inspiring.Academic articles, no one reads them. If readers rush to read them, are they still called academic articles? After entering the library, the image of excellence in her mind was very different, and the image of a scholar was firmly erected.Thinking back, Zhuoyou really has a scholarly demeanor, which is different from the rigorous ones, and also different from Huang Hai, who is also a student at a prestigious school. Huang Hai still feels like a student to her, while Zhuoyou feels like a scholar to her. There is a difference between the words "student" and "scholar", but they represent two different levels. The word "zhe" has a lot of weight!

This made her a little ashamed. Zhuoyou is so busy and has so many serious things to do. It is not easy to spare some time to help her. She is still guessing and causing trouble for him, which seems too naive , too immature.I wonder if he hates immature girls? In those few days, she didn't bother Zhuo Liang anymore, but waited for him to finish writing the manuscript before contacting her.Every time she thought of him, a small room appeared in front of her eyes, filled with all kinds of books, newspapers and magazines in a mess, Zhuo Liang sat at a desk writing with a brush in his hand.Although thinking about it carefully, "holding a brush in hand" is a bit out of place, "a hut" is a bit forced, and "a pile of books in a mess" is not inevitable, but for some reason, when she thinks of Zhuo Liang writing an article, it comes to mind. To create such a picture, it must be a tube of brush, and it must be a small room, and the books must be piled up in disorder. It seems that if it is not a brush, the articles written will not be academic; Compact; if the books are placed neatly, thinking will be imprisoned.

But Yao Xiaoping didn't care whether he was "a tube of brushes" or not, and came to ask Shi Yan from time to time: "Hey, have you talked to Zhuoyue about the two of us changing jobs?" "not yet--" "Why haven't we talked yet? You don't want to change?" "I -- don't know --, he said that he is very busy these days, rushing a manuscript --" She talked about the article published by Zhuoyou, and Yao Xiaoping was also in awe, but Yao Xiaoping was "awe-struck" in another direction: "Shi, you are so lucky to meet a man who is talented, beautiful, powerful and powerful." , it’s too rare, you must hurry—” "How to hurry up?" "Create more conditions to get in touch with him, or let other girls run away---" "How to create the conditions? People said, this period is very busy—" "It's nothing, he is busy with his academics, you can take care of him in life—" Shi Yan was even more confused, take care of her in life?How to take care of it?Could it be that he ran to his house to help him cook for no reason?That's crazy! She asked: "Then you—are you taking care of yourself carefully?" Yao Xiaoping smiled deeply: "My way of taking care of you is different from yours—and with my current status, I can't make it too public, it would be troublesome to let outsiders know—" Yao Xiaoping suddenly asked nervously, "You didn't take care of me? Tell Excellence about rigorous things?" "No, why would I tell him these things? We only met once or twice in total, and most of the time we were--pissed off at him, didn't talk to him at all--" Yao Xiaoping breathed a sigh of relief: "It's fine if you don't tell him. I have a hunch that he—hates people like me—" "why?" "Why? Because his girlfriend—had been unfaithful to him—" "Being unfaithful to him?" "I also heard it from hearsay. I don't know if it's true. I heard that her girlfriend and the head of her office—fucked—was caught by Zhuoyou—there was a big turmoil, and the man was punished later. , Zhuo Zhuo and his girlfriend also blew, and now that woman is a chicken-and-egg fight, she seems a little nervous—” The pornographic news swept away Zhuo Liang's writing brush and a hut at once, and a distraught Zhuo Liang appeared in Shi Yan's mind, wearing a cuckold and arguing with his girlfriend. Yao Xiaoping said: "Don't tell Zhuoyue that I told you about this, he must have the intention to kill me if he found out—" Shi Yan asked puzzledly: "But how do you say that he—hates you? Is that woman your relative?" "How could I be related to someone like that? Do you think I look like the type of person who would go crazy? I don't know that woman at all, I just listened to someone else. But the world's cuckolds are a family, and they are treated like him. A man whose girlfriend betrays must hate all the women in the world who betray their husbands." Yao Xiaoping said incredulously, "But my situation is different. I—my husband—wasn't forced to do that?" Regarding Yao Xiaoping's matter, Shi Yan has never been able to figure it out. She seems to sympathize with Yao Xiaoping's experience, but she seems to disapprove of her seriousness. All in all, it's a mess.But Yao Xiaoping treated her well, and she didn't have many close friends, so she still tended to side with Yao Xiaoping.Of course, according to her point of view, if Yao Xiaoping hadn't compromised with the evil forces and married the principal's son just to stay in the county, that would be the best, and now she can fall in love with Yan Jing in a legitimate way.But just as Yao Xiaoping said, if she hadn't compromised with the evil forces, her family's life would not have been improved, and Yao Xiaoping would not have encountered rigor. This detour confuses Shi Yan, she has long stopped thinking about it from a moral point of view.But from a technical point of view, she often considered this matter, so she kept sweating for Yao Xiaoping, fearing that Yao Xiaoping would lose her balance and fall into the water when she stepped on two boats.Every time the two talked about Yao Xiaoping and Yan Jing, she would worry and add: "You have to be careful, don't let your husband know." And Yao Xiaoping said nonchalantly every time: "Only you know about this, as long as you don't tell, how would he know?" This time, I don't know if she was confused by Zhuoyue's romantic turmoil, Shi Yan forgot to tell Yao Xiaoping to be careful, but things turned out to be as predestined, something happened just once without her telling her. That day Shi Yan was reading in the dormitory when she heard the commotion outside, and then saw Yao Xiaoping running into the dormitory, slammed the door shut, put her back against it, and shouted to her: "Shi, my husband is calling, come and help me." I resist—pull a table over—” She jumped out of bed in a hurry and ran to pull the tables, but every table was full of things, so she had to sacrifice her own, swept the things on the table to the ground, and dragged the table to the door.Before the two of them got on good terms, they felt that someone was banging on the door vigorously, and shouted loudly during the banging: "You shameless bitch, you have the ability to open the door!" Not to be outdone, Yao Xiaoping cursed back loudly: "You useless man, don't show off in front of women if you have the ability—" "You have the ability to hand over your stinky man—" "If I hand it over, you won't be able to beat him—" Yao Xiaoping and her husband both spoke their native dialect, and Shi Yan could only understand half of it, but it was basically audible that they were arguing about a "skill".She had heard people say that people in city D have a characteristic of quarreling, that is, they are ruthless, but most of them are working hard on the word "speaking".When two people from City D get into a quarrel, you can hear all kinds of ruthless theories, from chopping hands and feet to beheading and digging out hearts, to killing nine clans, and even launching a world war, all of which may be mentioned, but If you are really not afraid of the height of the stage when watching a theater, expect to see chopped off hands and feet on the ground, or expect the country to start conscription because of the world war, you will probably be disappointed. Yao Xiaoping and her husband are not from D City, but their hometown is very close to D City. Perhaps due to the narrowing of the gap between urban and rural areas, the ruthless customs of D City residents have also spread to Yao Xiaoping's hometown. After listening for a while, Shi Yan wasn't so scared anymore, she just supported Yao Xiaoping against the door and listened to the two of them "talking hard".Sure enough, Yao Xiaoping's husband talked harshly for a while, but didn't really call in, so he yelled and went elsewhere. Yao Xiaoping breathed a sigh of relief, and began to investigate the cause of the incident: "Hmph, that's really weird, how could he know about this? Someone must be inside to inform—" Shi Yan quickly declared: "It's not me, I never told him, I don't know him at all, and I don't know where he is—" "I know it's not you, but have you told Excellence?" "No, why should I tell him this?" Yao Xiaoping opened the door, walked out and said, "Hmph, that's weird, I think it can only be his tip-off" Shi Yan asked: "Where are you going? Watch out for him—hit you—" "It's okay, he's a bastard with little ability, if he really dares to hit me today, well, I'll admire him from now on—" Shi Yan chased him out and warned: "Don't go, I think he's really angry today—" Without turning her head, Yao Xiaoping said solemnly, "I'm afraid he will go to the department to make trouble, so I have to catch him quickly—" as if she was a Communist Party member covering the retreat of the masses, as if she was going to protect the "department" "in". Shi Yan wanted to ask Yao Xiaoping if she wanted to accompany her, but she was really a little scared. First, she was afraid that Yao Xiaoping's husband would slap her eyes red, and he would beat her too; second, she was afraid that she would be involved in such a farce. Those who didn't know the truth thought it was someone from her who made trouble at the school.Fortunately, Yao Xiaoping didn't ask her to follow, so she hurriedly took advantage of the situation and hid in the dormitory. Once Yao Xiaoping went there, there was no news, and Shi Yan was so anxious that she couldn't fall asleep all night, thinking that Yao Xiaoping must have been beaten to death by her husband, or forced to die in love by her husband, or her husband fought with Yan Jing. At that time, Yao Xiaoping rushed out to protect her lover, but was accidentally injured by her husband and died.All in all, before her eyes was a river of blood, one dead and two injured, one injured and two dead, all three injured, all three dead, all combinations are possible. She didn't know where to inquire about Yao Xiaoping's whereabouts. If she asked too much, she was afraid of affecting Yao Xiaoping's reputation; if she didn't ask, she was very worried about Yao Xiaoping's life and death.Finally, a classmate said that she seemed to be relieved when she saw Yao Xiaoping eating with her husband at the "Sijichun" outside the school gate. Maybe Yao Xiaoping finally turned the tide and stabilized her husband. She firmly believed that Yao Xiaoping had such courage and charm. , ability and stamina. It was not until the evening of the next day that Yao Xiaoping appeared in the dormitory. She was a little tired, but her body was intact, her skin and hair were undamaged, and there was no sign of blood flowing into a river. Shi Yan said happily: "You are finally back, I was so anxious last night." Yao Xiaoping was very grateful: "I'm sorry, I made you worry yesterday, but I'm fine—" Seeing Yao Xiaoping putting clothes in a bag, Shi Yan asked, "Where are you going?" Yao Xiaoping lowered her voice and said, "Go to the hotel. My husband hasn't left yet, so he may stay for a few days. I left in a hurry yesterday, and I didn't bring a change of clothes. I came back today to get a few. , I left for a while, and he followed, and now I keep him outside, saying that this is the girls' dormitory, and he cannot come in. Can you do me a favor? Tell me to be strict, just say that I have God—I'm busy, I don't have time to see him, I'll contact him after I've been busy for a few days—but don't tell him about my husband—" When Shi Yan heard that Yao Xiaoping's husband was outside, she became nervous again: "Then you have to be careful, watch out for him—" "He didn't dare to do anything to me. I'm afraid that Yan Jing will find out now. Yan Jing's fiery temper is not a joke. You must keep it a secret for me—" "Don't worry, I won't tell him about it, but will he know about it from other sources?" "I'm not afraid that he will know about it from other channels. As long as I don't admit it, he won't believe it. But if you said it, he will definitely believe it—" Shi Yan didn't expect her reputation to be so good, but it seems that this good reputation will not be useful, but will cause bad things.In case someone else spread the word to Yan Jing and Yan Jing believed it, wouldn't Yao Xiaoping think it was her whistleblowing?It is best to inoculate Yan Jing as soon as possible, lest he listen to rumors from other channels.She asked, "Then can I call him?" "You can call him to make an appointment, but don't talk on the phone, lest someone overhear—" After Yao Xiaoping left, Shi Yan started to act. First, she went downstairs to call Yan Jing. Fortunately, she found Yan Jing right away, and then made an appointment with Yan Jing. Said that he could come and pick her up by bike. After a while, Yan Jing came over and took Shi Yan to a not-so-dirty pond in the east of the school by bicycle. As soon as the bicycle stopped, Yan Jing asked Shi Yan: "What's the matter with Yao? We agreed to meet yesterday. I waited for several hours and didn't see her come, and I didn't make a phone call. I was so anxious that I didn't sleep well all night—" She was immediately moved by this man's infatuation, and said comfortingly, "She's fine, but she's busy these days and doesn't have time—" "No matter how busy you are, can you make a phone call? How can you be so busy that you don't have time to call? Did her husband put her under house arrest?" Shi Yan was taken aback, and denied it flatly: "No, no, she—how can she have a husband?" "She may not have told you, but she had a husband—was it her husband—what did she do?" Shi Yan made a small calculation in her heart, thinking that if she told Yao Xiaoping's recent situation, what harm would it do to her, Yao Xiaoping, and rigor, but the result of the little calculation was that it was better to tell than to keep it secret, because rigor was obvious. She was very anxious, and she couldn't bear to see him so anxious, and she was afraid that he would make things worse by asking around, so she said frankly: "Don't worry, her husband came to the dormitory, but he didn't do anything to her— " "He didn't—hit her?" "No--" "Then he—has he made trouble in the department?" "Probably not, because Yao Xiaoping has already stabilized him—" "Then why hasn't she come now—to find me?" "Her—uh—her husband hasn't returned in City D, she has to continue to hold him—" After she finished speaking, she regretted it, for fear that she would be rigorous enough to imagine how Yao Xiaoping was "holding" her husband. But rigor doesn't seem to have such a rich imagination, or love has overcome jealousy, he didn't jump up to compete with the husband to be "stabilized", but said gratefully: "That's good, I'm afraid She was hurt by her husband for me -" She was so moved that her nose almost felt sour, and her rigorous image grew a lot. She asked, "How do you know that she has a husband? Didn't she tell you?" "How could I not know? I also came from her place, and I don't know anyone there?" "But you—if you knew she had a husband—how could you—" Seriously and solemnly said: "If you don't understand, you can call me a third party, you can also call me a hooligan, but I can tell you that this is love. Do you understand?" Shi Yan seemed to be overwhelmed by the rigorous solemnity, and kept nodding her head, with an attitude of "I understand, I understand", her admiration for Yao Xiaoping in her heart was no longer "spontaneously", it was like an oil well Oil leaks out.This is not simply to captivate a man with beauty, beauty can only captivate a man's body, but Yao Xiaoping is captivating a man's heart! She didn't know how Yao Xiaoping did it, but she felt that she definitely didn't have the ability and charm.She couldn't imagine that Huang Hai or Zhuo Liang would love her so obsessively after learning that she had a husband.She doesn't have a husband now, and these two people are so indifferent to her. Even the way they are jealous is to take her knife and lose their temper. If they know that she is in two boats, with both a husband and a lover, then the two of them People haven't united to kill her? Her only consolation to herself is that rigor is not as good as Huang Hai and Joyoung, maybe rigor also knows that she is not good, so she has lower requirements in love, and can be satisfied with the love of a married woman.But this doesn't seem to be very convincing. Rigorousness is also a university teacher. How is it lower than Huang Hai's excellence?In terms of appearance, rigor is better than Huang Hai, right?All in all, if there is a boy who is obsessed with her like Yan Jing, she will definitely choose him instead of such outstanding talents as Huang Haizhuo. What's the use of being excellent?What matters is love.If there is no love, no matter how good you are, it has nothing to do with you. The better you are, the more annoying you are.But if there is love, can it be ignored whether it is good or not?It seems that it is not all.She couldn't think clearly about this question for a while, so she had doubts first, and then she would think about it slowly later. After the two finished talking, Yan Jing took her back to the dormitory by bicycle.Walking halfway, he said rigorously: "The front is the place where Lao Zhuo lives. I want to go up and say a few words to him. If you are not busy, go up with me. If you are in a hurry to go back, I will see you off first." go back--" Now she is very interested in anything related to Excellence, not to mention going to Excellence's residence to see the real thing?This is like an archaeologist who has studied dinosaurs all his life and finally has the opportunity to see a live dinosaur, so can he let it go?She said: "I'm not busy, I'd better go find Mr. Zhuo with you first, lest you send me off later and have to return later—" So the two came to the building where Zhuo Liang lived, and they knew it was a family building at a glance. The corners of the corridor were used as much as possible, and some broken copper and iron were piled up. Some bamboo poles were stretched out from the balcony, hanging up Flags fluttering.Shi Yan couldn't figure it out, how could a young scholar like Zhuoyue live in such a mother-in-law's place?The image has been discounted a little. Before the two came to Zhuoyue's residence, they knocked on the door rigorously, and they heard Zhuoyue ask inside, "Who is it?" "It's me, and Shi Yan——Your brother, dress up before opening the door—" After a while, Zhuo Liang opened the door, dressed up a bit, wearing shirts and trousers, and welcomed the two into the room, pouring them each a glass of cold water. Yan Jing was in a hurry to talk to Excellence, so Shi Yan could only look around at Excellence's residence while drinking water. The living room was nothing, just like most people's living rooms, with sofas, coffee tables, tables and chairs, but there was a large picture frame hanging on the wall. , there is a black and white photo inside, probably Zhuo Zhuo's father who died young.Perhaps because of the black and white photos, the character looks very handsome, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a well-defined face, which seems to be a little more attractive than Zhuoyou.There is also a family photo next to it, with excellent parents and excellent middle school appearance, and a little girl, probably the younger sister of excellent, the photo is also black and white, all four of them look outstanding. The photo was hung a little high, and she was looking at it with her neck stretched out. Zhuo Liang came over, took the family photo off the wall, and handed it to her.In order to repay this kindness, she had no choice but to make a gesture of careful study.Zhuoyou seemed to repay her kindness for studying so carefully, and went to the bedroom to get a photo album for her to read.In order to repay this kindness, she had no choice but to look more interested and read the album. She found that the album mainly contained old photos from the past. Zhuo Liang seemed to have been outstanding since he was a child. Whether it was a class photo or a small photo with friends, he stood out from the crowd.As she flipped through it, she thought, if this is Huang Hai's album, what would it be like?He was born with a bad face, isn't that all in the album--horrible images?Maybe his parents didn't take pictures of him at all? She didn't know what Yan Jing was talking about with Excellence, because they ran into the bedroom, but she could hear Yan Jing's impassioned voice, but she couldn't hear what Zhuo Liang was saying, because he spoke very little and his voice was very low.Finally, Yan Jing finally finished speaking, and he came out of the bedroom and said to her, "Let's go, Lao Zhuo is still busy—" But Zhuozhuo said: "I want to say a few words to her, and I will send her back later——" Yan Jing said obediently: "Okay, then I'll take a step first—" As soon as Yan Jing left, Shi Yan's heart skipped a beat, not knowing what Zhuo Yue wanted to say to her.Zhuo Liang didn't seem to be in a hurry to speak, he sat on the sofa, turned on the TV, and tuned to a news program to watch.Shi Yan sat awkwardly for a while, and finally couldn't help asking: "Didn't you say you wanted to say a few words to me?" "Well," he pondered for a moment, then asked, "What's going on with Yao Xiaoping?" She wasn't sure what he meant, so she didn't know where to answer, so she asked defensively, "What is Yao Xiaoping?" "I mean she--the matter of her husband coming to the school, I just heard it carefully--" "Oh, it's like this—" She was about to start speaking, but suddenly remembered Yao Xiaoping's doubts about Excellence, and she didn't want to continue, "Didn't I tell you everything about the rigor just now?" "He only said that Yao Xiaoping's husband was making trouble, and nothing else—" She thought, since she refused to say anything strictly, why should I say it?She evaded and said, "I don't know very well—I don't like to inquire about other people's affairs—" He didn't ask any more questions, and just said: "I think it's better for you not to get together with Yao Xiaoping, now you are going to stay in school, you get yourself involved in this kind of sexual dispute--it will affect-- " She is a person who doesn't like to be taught by others, so she immediately retorted: "What does this sexual dispute have to do with me? It's not like I'm talking to someone—how—" Zhuoyou didn't insist any more, just said: "I'm just saying that, mainly because I'm thinking about your staying in school, it's nothing else, you don't have to be so angry—" "I'm not angry. But Yao Xiaoping expected that you—would speak ill of her, because she knows you—don't like her—" Excellence said indifferently: "For her, there is no question of liking her or not—" "I don't mean liking in that sense—" "There is no liking or disliking in any sense—I just think she—is of low quality—" "Is it because of her relationship with—strict matter?" Excellence smiled noncommittally: "When you are with such a person, it is easy to make yourself vulgar—" Shi Yan didn't like him talking in this tone very much, but she couldn't find anything to refute him. Yao Xiaoping seemed a bit vulgar, but Shi Yan never felt that way, and now being pointed out by Zhuoyou made her feel a little bit annoyed. I don't know why. Because Zhuozhuo belittled her friends, or because she herself never noticed Yao Xiaoping's vulgarity.She insisted: "Yao Xiaoping is my friend, I will not alienate her just to stay in school—" "Well, you're very nice to your friends—but—you can't be harmful, you can't be defensive—" Shi Yan asked suspiciously: "Is it because Yao Xiaoping is behind the scenes -- speaking ill of me?" Zhuoyou's expression was unfathomable, and his head remained motionless as a rock, making Shi Yan unable to see what his answer was.But she felt that if Yao Xiaoping hadn't said bad things about her, Zhuo Liang would have come out to make a statement. Now that he didn't make a statement, it meant that he knew that Yao Xiaoping was talking bad things about her behind her back. She asked, "What did she say about me?" Zhuoyou seemed unwilling to talk about this matter in depth: "Some things are better if you don't know. You are not deeply involved in the world, and sometimes you underestimate the complexity of the world—" She thought angrily, I only asked you because I was not deeply involved in the world. If I was deeply involved in the world, why would I ask you?But she didn't say it that way, lest he take it to mean that she was losing her temper again.She never expected that Yao Xiaoping would speak ill of her behind her back, but thinking about Yao Xiaoping's actions, it seems not uncommon for a person who can stand on two boats to speak ill of others behind his back, is it a fantasy? ?But she couldn't figure out why Yao Xiaoping wanted to speak ill of her. She didn't offend Yao Xiaoping, and she had no conflict of interest with Yao Xiaoping. Could it be that Yao Xiaoping was crazy and must speak ill of her?She defended Yao Xiaoping, saying: "Maybe those who hate her are spreading rumors, she doesn't need to speak ill of me at all—" He didn't insist anymore, and moved to other topics: "If you can stay in the department, are you happy?" "Of course I'm happy, but isn't there only one person left in the department? Do you think it's possible for Yao Xiaoping to switch with me? Let her go to the scientific research office and let me stay in the department? She is willing to go to the scientific research office—" "If she is willing, it depends on whether the school is willing—" "Have you asked the school? Are they unwilling?" "I didn't ask—" She knew that her question was unreasonable. She just told him about it today. How could he have talked to the school long ago?She changed her mind and asked, "Then do you think the school will allow me to switch with her?" "If you change to the department, the school will definitely be fine, but—she caused this disturbance, I'm afraid—" She became nervous: "Ah? But how did the school know about this incident? Yao Xiaoping has already secured her husband, and her husband will definitely not go to the department to make trouble—" Zhuo Zhuo smiled: "This kind of thing still needs her husband to go to the department to make a fuss? Hasn't it spread a long time ago?" "But --- not many people know about it. How could it spread? I didn't pass it on. Yao Xiaoping certainly didn't pass it on. Neither did her husband. How could it spread to the school?" "There is no impenetrable wall—" "Then—what should I do? Yao Xiaoping can't stay in school?" She really panicked, "Then what should I do? Then what should I do? If Yao Xiaoping can't stay in school, she has to go back to that county. She went back there, You have to be under the jurisdiction of the headmaster, then—” Zhuo Zhuo comforted her and said: "Don't worry too much, there is nothing wrong with her going back to the county, her home is there, her husband and children are there, she goes there to go home, not to go to the killing field—" "But—in that case—she and serious matters—what to do?" "It's up to her to decide the matter between her and rigor. It doesn't matter what you and I say--" She also knew that nothing she said to him would work, but wasn't she worrying about Yao Xiaoping?When people are in a hurry, why do they care if it works?If you can manage that much, then don't worry. Zhuo Zhuo asked with interest: "Why are you so stubborn with her? If only one of you and her can stay in school, would you still be like this - speak for her?" She couldn't answer, and finally admitted: "At first, I felt a little bit that she got this place to stay in school through the back door. For a while, I thought about exposing her, but I figured it out later. Now—even if she doesn’t open the back door, it may not be my turn to stay in school, so—I can only blame my bad luck—” "Fate is one thing, but hard work is another. You can't push everything to fate—" He said this proverb-like words, and didn't say anything else. After being silent for a while, Shi Yan stood up knowingly and said goodbye: "I should go back." He didn't object, he found a pair of sneakers and put them on, followed her downstairs, pushed his motorcycle out of a small shed, and sent her back to the dormitory.This time he was wearing a coat, probably for the convenience of her grabbing it, but she didn't grab it, she still grabbed him under the seat. The next day, Yao Xiaoping came back to class, but the two of them had no chance to talk. After class, Yao Xiaoping disappeared again, and probably went to the hotel to "stabilize" her husband.It was not until the fourth day that Yao Xiaoping went back to the dormitory to eat and sleep, presumably her husband had already been "stabilized" and returned to the county.Shi Yan seized the opportunity to ask, "Yao, your husband is gone?" “总算走了，谢天谢地，再不走，我简直要发疯了－－”姚小萍的情绪似乎不错，正在箱子里挑来挑去，大概要打扮了去见严谨。 石燕警告说：“我听卓越的口气，好像学校已经知道－－这件事了－－” “哪件事？” “就是你丈夫－－来闹的事－－” 姚小萍眼珠一转：“学校怎么会知道？我们就是在寝室楼里吵了一下，后来我很快就把他稳住了，怎么会－－是不是你－－告诉卓越了？” “我没有，我可以向你保证，我绝对没有告诉卓越。不过－－严谨他－－” 姚小萍的眼睛灼灼发光，好像要吃了谁似的：“你告诉严谨了？” “我没有－－但是他－－知道你－－丈夫的事－－” “他怎么会知道？肯定是卓越搞的鬼，我第一眼就觉得这个卓越－－不地道－－鬼点子多得很，绝对不是一个好家伙－－” “应该不是他，因为他还是从严谨那里知道你丈夫来闹事的－－” “我才不相信呢，如果不是他，严谨怎么会知道我丈夫的事？除非是你告诉他。” 石燕简直是有口难辩，几边不是人，她声明说：“不是我告诉严谨的，而是他说了你有丈夫之后，我才－－承认的。” “有你这么傻的人吗？他那样说，肯定是在诈你嘛，你就承认了？” 石燕听姚小萍这样说，心里很后悔，如果严谨真是在诈她，那她也太没用了，太经不起诈了，居然栽在严谨这小子手里。她替自己辩护说：“我觉得他－－不是在诈。他一开始就知道你是结了婚的，他说他也是从你们那里出来的人，那里的人他都认识，怎么会不知道你－－结没结婚呢？” 姚小萍还是不相信：“怎么可能呢？他是从我们那里出来的，但那已经有好多年了，他在那里的时候，我根本没结婚，我是在县里结的婚，他也没回去过，怎么会从我老家的人那里听到什么？” 这个石燕也没把握，没法反驳，只好干受着。 姚小萍咬牙切齿地说：“一定是卓越干的，我早就对你说过，这个卓越不是个好东西，他为了你留系里，就使出这么毒辣的一招。也怪你没早点对他说我愿意去科研办公室，如果说了，那就两全其美，他也不用踩我这一脚了－－” 石燕现在完全糊涂了，难道卓越是这么－－阴险的一个人？联想到他曾经说过姚小萍各方面都素质低，她觉得这不是完全不可能。但是她很难说服自己相信卓越有这么阴险，他看上去不是一个使阴坏的人，而是那种嘴上讨人嫌的人。如果他真的在背后算计姚小萍，应该就不会公开叫她别跟姚小萍在一起了，那样说的话，不是很容易暴露出他对姚小萍的痛恨吗？ 但是她没再替卓越辩护，知道越辩护姚小萍就越要那样认为，因为姚小萍是有点爱抬杠的人。 姚小萍见她不说话，着急地追问道：“是不是卓越已经知道学校－－不要我留校了？” “他也是猜的－－” 姚小萍好像失去了主心骨一样，一会拿起衣服，要换了去找严谨，一会又把衣服丢箱子里去了。石燕安慰说：“你别急，现在不过是在乱猜，要等到学校通知你了才证明是真的－－” “等学校通知我了还有个屁用! ”姚小萍终于下定决心，换上一件漂亮衣服出去了。 那段时间石燕跟姚小萍两个人都很着急，因为两个人都在担心留校的事，两个人都有一种预感：这回她们两个要“干上了”，虽然不是故意的，但肯定是有你无我，有我无你的结局。现在两个人见面就很尴尬了，谈什么都不行。如果谈留校，两个人肯定会争起来；谈别的，又显得很虚假。 石燕给卓越打了几次电话，叫他别为她搞留系的事了，因为她不想留了，免得把姚小萍挤下去了。但每次卓越都说：“你留系的事要等我把这篇稿子写完了才有时间去办。” 她催促说：“不是我留系的事，而是我不留系的事，我不想留系里了，因为我不想把姚小萍挤下去了。” “没事，她不是想跟你换的吗？她不留系里，可以留科研办公室嘛－－” “但是学校还会－－愿意留她吗？” “如果学校不愿意留她，那也就不是你把她从系里挤出去的了－－” 她知道他说得对，但她仍然希望他能出手相救，最好是把她跟姚小萍都留在学校，一个去科研办公室，一个留系里。万一不行的话，她也宁愿自己不留校，因为她不想占了姚小萍那个名额，那会让她内疚一辈子的。 姚小萍知道她一直在找卓越帮忙，很感激，但并不看好卓越，劝阻说：“石，算了吧，别求他了，他不会帮我的，如果这事不是他在中间捣鬼，我把我的姚字倒挂起。他本来就恨我这样的人，为了他的好朋友严谨，肯定也想把我们拆散，现在又加上你想留系，他还不三把刀一起往我头上砍？” 石燕不相信卓越会因为自己的女朋友不忠就恨姚小萍，也不相信卓越会为了严谨就破坏姚严的爱情，她问：“卓越他－－想把你跟严谨拆散？那我怎么看见严谨那天专门跑去跟卓越商量你们的事？” “卓越很狡猾的，他就是想拆散也不会做得那么明目张胆，肯定是在里面使阴坏－－” “但是他拆散你们对他有什么好处呢？” 姚小萍也回答不上来。 石燕见姚小萍也说不出什么具体事例来，知道她只是瞎猜，就安慰说：“你别瞎猜了，我觉得严谨对你很－－忠诚，他知道你有丈夫，还是那么－－喜欢你，我要是遇到这么一个男生，那就不错了－－” “那不是卓越的功劳，只能说我把严谨迷得够深，不然的话，他被卓越这么一挑拨，肯定跟我吹了。我有丈夫的事，肯定是卓越告诉严谨的－－” “卓越怎么会知道你有丈夫？” 姚小萍又答不上来了，但坚持说：“反正我觉得是他，不是他的话，我把我的姚字倒挂起－－” 这段时间，姚小萍已经把“姚”字倒挂了无数回了，石燕是完全看不出把“姚”字倒挂起能吓唬谁的，也不知道倒挂之后的“姚”该怎么念，但她可以体会出姚小萍对卓越的成见，已经到了深不可测的地步，有没有证据，都怪在卓越头上。 但要说石燕完全不相信姚小萍的话，那也不正确，她还是有点相信卓越会为了她留系就把姚小萍搞走的，她甚至把他上次来报信让黄海逃走也算到这一类手段里去了。但她又有点想不通，他完全用不着把姚小萍搞走啊，他让她跟姚小萍换一下不就行了吗？何必下这么狠的手？ 姚小萍开始策反：“石，老话说，不看朋友对我，只看朋友对人，你也看见了，卓越就是这样的人，阴险狡猾得很，整人就往死里整。我看你还是趁早别跟他来往了，不然的话，死在他手里都不知道是怎么回事。”
