"Huh?" Yuan Weiting, who had just been crying sadly, suddenly stopped and looked at me with strange eyes.

"What...what's wrong?" I was numb from her stare and couldn't help but turn my head away and not look her in the face.

"Could the rumors be true?" Yuan Weiting muttered.

"Rumors?" I tilted my head and looked at her.

"Yeah, don't you know? Some classmates have already said it privately... Um, don't get angry if I tell you..."

"Well, tell me."

"Saying that you and Tang Xin are gay."

"Eh!" I was stunned and stood there speechless.

"Looks like what he said came true?" Yuan Weiting's mood improved a lot, and it seemed that the matter had shifted to me.

"I'll tell you the truth, and you have to tell me what happened to you, okay?" I took a deep breath, and seeing that I couldn't hide the truth anymore, I had no choice but to do this. However, this time the sacrifice was huge, and I had to find a chance to get Teacher Song to compensate me.

"Okay!" Yuan Weiting nodded solemnly.

"I like Tang Xin. I should say I love her. But I don't know if she likes me or not, and I don't know if she likes girls."

"that's it?"

"correct."

"I thought you were together..." She curled her lips.

"Just be together. It's your turn."

"Huh...my father, he passed away..." Yuan Weiting said, her emotions rising again, and tears welled up in her eyes again.

"Oh... I'm sorry..." For a moment, I was stunned. I had thought of many plans to comfort her, such as divorce and how to persuade my parents when they quarreled, but I never thought that the matter was so serious.

"During the summer vacation, he had advanced liver cancer and died in a month... My family is not short of money, but... even if we had money, we couldn't get treatment." Yuan Weiting clenched her fists, her whole body tense, and it was obvious that her emotions were out of control again. "My mother was so sad that she got drunk all day. Now this house... doesn't feel like a home... I don't want to go home..."

"My condolences..." I patted her back gently. At this moment, any words of comfort seemed redundant. I have experienced it before, so I naturally know the pain of losing a loved one. Too much sympathy is actually a kind of harm. When you are helpless, having one more person by your side is enough.

"My father used to love me the most. When I thought about not having a father anymore, I suddenly lost all motivation to live. I often wondered, if I died, would I be able to see my father again?"

"Yuan Weiting, do you want to hear a story? A true story." I asked her.

"story?"

"Well... a story that happened not long ago." I told the story slowly.

-

I have to go to work again tomorrow. I am so tired! What if I don’t want to go to work? Who will support me?

Chapter 110: Climbing the Wall

I told her word for word the stories of Xiaoling and I's early years that I remembered, and mentioned in passing how I had depended on my aunt over the years.

Yuan Weiting was stunned: "Are the sisters in the story you and your sister?"

"Yeah!" I nodded.

"I'm sorry... I thought you didn't feel the same way as me, and that you were just here to comfort me. I didn't expect... you felt even worse than me..."

"Stop! I'm not here to compare my misery with yours." I stopped her quickly. "I told you my story just to make you stop being pessimistic. The future will be bright and everything will pass. Look at me, I can make a lot of good friends! I live a happy life! Your father must also want you to live a good and happy life, right?"

"I understand the truth, but I still can't stop feeling sad..." Yuan Weiting said helplessly.

"Not being sad is the most terrifying thing, right? It's normal to be sad when your closest person leaves. Just don't be pessimistic about the world anymore. Your mother must need your comfort too! You are an adult now, and your mother was once a girl. She wasn't born so strong, was she? If you as a daughter don't comfort her, who else can comfort her?" I smiled and rubbed her head.

"I...I seem to have done a lot of things wrong..." Yuan Weiting was distracted for a moment, and suddenly grabbed my hand, "Li Xiaomeng, do me a favor!"

"Ok?"

"I want to go home!"

"what?"

……

Ten minutes later, Tang Xin, Yuan Weiting and I were hiding in a tree at the corner of the school wall and discussing something.

"Are you sure you really want to climb over the wall?" Tang Xin held her forehead and looked at us, "I don't think this is a good idea."

"Me too!" I nodded in agreement with my wife.

"No, I have to go home tonight!" Yuan Weiting said seriously.

"Xiao Meng, what the hell did you feed her?" Tang Xin and I looked at each other and said.

"I really didn't." I said awkwardly, "Yuan Weiting, how about I say that you can go back after the two days off. If you climb over the wall and get caught, you will be punished... You can call Teacher Song first... and ask her to ask for leave for you to go home."

"I won't! I don't want to cause trouble for Teacher Song. Besides, I used to climb over the wall a lot when I was in junior high school. It's okay, you just need to give me a hand. If I get caught, I will take responsibility for my own mistakes and won't betray you." Yuan Weiting seemed to have made up her mind to leave and no longer paid any attention.

……

Ma Zhengye has served as the director of studies at No. 1 Middle School for more than 20 years. Every morning when he arrives at school, he likes to walk around all the classes, catch some students who violate discipline and rules and give them symbolic punishments in order to maintain his status among students and his image of hard work in the minds of leaders.

But today was an exception. He came to his office early in the morning and paced back and forth, feeling anxious. He sighed and used boiling water to make a cup of green tea in his executive cup. Then he took a sip, and because it was too hot, he blew several times to cool the water down. Or maybe it was because he was burned, so his movements were a bit too big, and the wig on his head was shaking a little crooked, which looked very funny. He patted the water droplets on his clothes that had just splashed, and sat down on the big sofa office chair, as if a mountain of meat had fallen on it, and the aftermath was shaking.

You asked me why I described it in such detail, because at this moment Tang Xin and I were standing by the wall of the office...

The story begins last night when we sent Yuan Weiting out of the wall.

"Okay, I'm leaving." Yuan Weiting successfully climbed over the wall and jumped easily to the sidewalk outside the school, waving at us.

"Hey! What are you doing?" The shout scared me so much that I shivered. A strong flashlight shone on the place where Tang Xin and I were standing.

"Oh no!" Tang Xin and I looked at each other, "Escape?"

"Don't run away, you can't outrun them." Since the last time I had an accident, the school has strengthened the quality of the school security, and it is no longer as simple as the old gatekeepers. They are all strong players selected from the security company, and there is no chance of winning.

I raised my hands above my head and made the standard French military posture: "Surrender!"

"What are you two doing here?" Two security guards came over at the same time, and one of them asked.

"If I say I'm going to take a walk here, do you believe me?" I smiled awkwardly.

"take away!"

After that, we were taken away, our names, classes and other information were written down in the security room, and we were forcibly sent back to the dormitory to await processing the next day.

"Li Xiaomeng!" Director Ma took a sip of green tea and spat the extra tea leaves into the cup. "You are the top student in the grade! You are a good student, but you don't do it. Why do you learn from bad students to climb over the wall? Huh? You are a girl, why are you out so late?"

"I didn't..." I denied quickly.

"Not yet! I checked the surveillance and saw that you three went together. What's the name of the one who left? Yuan Weiting, right? The last in the class! Huh?" Director Ma seemed to be very angry. After all, in the provincial key middle school, he had never encountered such things as climbing over the wall. Now, not only did he encounter it this time, but it was three girls. Don't you think it's outrageous?

"I've investigated everything, Li Xiaomeng, and your roommates have confessed to me. You brought Tang Xin with you, right? You think she'll cover for you, right?"

Director Ma became more and more angry as he spoke, staring at me, not expecting me to answer him anymore, as he had already prepared all the answers in his mind. I simply learned my lesson and stopped answering, standing obediently and respectfully beside Tang Xin.

"Director Ma! I'm here." Teacher Song knocked on the door gently and appeared in front of the door.

"Xiao Song, how do you manage these students? What happened? Last night we thought that only the two of them failed to climb over the wall, but when we checked the surveillance in the morning, we found that one of them had already climbed out! Now, we can't contact the parents of that student!" Director Ma beat his chest and stamped his feet, "If anything happens, neither you nor I will be blamed!"

"Director Ma, calm down!" Teacher Song glanced at me and was also a little surprised, but she still tried to comfort Director Ma first, because he looked even more scared than us, afraid of losing his job.

"Teacher Song, it's okay. Yuan Weiting just went home..." I said to comfort Teacher Song.

"How do you know she's fine? What if she lied to you? What if she had an accident on the way home? Who will be responsible? Isn't it me and your teacher Song who are responsible?" Director Ma slammed the table and said in a very serious tone, his face was very embarrassed. "I haven't reported this to the principal yet. Teacher Song, take these two students to Yuan Weiting's home and bring her back to me! If you can't find her, go to the principal's office in an hour to confess your crime."

"Okay!" Teacher Song nodded solemnly, "I believe my students won't talk, Yuan Weiting will be fine."

I worked overtime at night, and updated it on my phone. There may be format errors, and typos and grammatical errors have not been corrected. I will correct them later. Warning for working overtime all night...

Chapter 111 I will support you!

"Now can I tell Teacher Song what happened?"

We followed Teacher Song into the car, and the atmosphere in the car was a little subtle.

"How should I put it? Teacher Song will understand when he goes to her house. For this kind of thing, I feel sorry for Yuan Weiting if I say anything." I shook my head and gently poked Tang Xin beside me: "Right? Tang Xin."

"She didn't even tell me." Tang Xin spread her hands, "I'm still confused and don't know what happened."

"No wonder everyone says Li Xiaomeng is stupid. She was probably sold and would have helped others count money. When she gets out into society, you'll see how you'll be bullied." Teacher Song shook his head helplessly.

Yuan Weiting's home is not far from the school, and she lives in a high-end residential area. The security guard at the gate did not let us in at first. It was not until Teacher Song repeatedly told us about the home visit that the other party let us in with some doubt. After all, it is not common for teachers to visit homes during the day on weekdays.

"Ding Dong!" Teacher Song took us to the 9th floor of one of the buildings by elevator with familiarity, and she pressed the doorbell.

"Has Teacher Song come here many times?" I asked from the side.

“This is the second time.”

"Teacher Song remembers it so clearly." Tang Xin also sighed.

“I am a very responsible teacher!”

"Who is it?" A sleepy voice came from the room, and it was clearly Yuan Weiting's voice.

With a creak, she opened the security door and was a little surprised to see the three of us standing outside. Her red eyes showed that she didn't sleep well the whole night. I guess she was just catching up on her sleep when I woke her up.

"Yuan Weiting, you are so brave that you even learned how to climb over the wall?" Teacher Song said angrily, with his hands on his hips.

"Ah, Teacher Song...ah, I forgot to ask for leave from you..."

"You still have me, Teacher Song, in your eyes! Will you let us in?"

"Ahhh... Teacher Song, please come in..."

"Well, I'll call Director Ma first..." Teacher Song sighed, and finally felt relieved.

……

"Teacher Song, I'm really sorry for making you suffer. The child suddenly came home last night and scared me." The slightly plump woman sitting in front of him was Yuan Weiting's mother. She looked very similar to Yuan Weiting, with a round face, short hair, thin lips, and dark eyes. She must have been a great beauty when she was young, but now that she is approaching middle age, wrinkles have already appeared on her face.

"Yes, she even asked two of my students to help her climb over the wall... and was caught by the school security. She was being criticized by the dean this morning."

"Ah! Li Xiaomeng, Tang Xin! I'm sorry!" Upon hearing this, Yuan Weiting stood up in fear and kept apologizing to us.

"It's okay. I agreed to it." After all, I am also responsible for it. I was too rude to her.

"Last night, Tingting came home, hugged me and cried, and kept apologizing to me. She seemed like a different person, and I was very relieved. Teacher Song, you may not know that a month ago, the child's father, my lover, passed away." Yuan Weiting's mother hugged her in her arms and patted her gently, "This child has been close to her father since she was a child. We were both devastated by this fact..."
