If the world had no daylight

Chapter 20

Ye Wan's anomaly was foreshadowing.

But apart from Bai Tian, ​​no one noticed this so-called omen.So when things happen, most people find it hard to accept.

On February [-]th, the final exam for the first semester of No. [-] Middle School began.

Li Xuemin never worried about the test scores of Class A, what he cared about was the accumulation and state of the students in their daily life.As long as everything is learned, then the test, which is an experiment in which impromptu performance takes a certain factor, is nothing.

Nevertheless, he is still looking forward to what kind of test paper his students will answer this time.With a full semester coming to an end, it's time to see the fruits of the crowd.

But in this class, Bai Tian and Ye Wan were the least of his worries.

Anyway, Bai Tian will always have that grade, he is used to it.On the other hand, Ye Wan, although she has always been at the top of the pyramid among her peers in No. [-] Middle School, she is still making progress.

The reference for this progress is her past self.

No teacher would dislike such a student who is never complacent, always challenges himself, and keeps improving.

Therefore, every time Li Xuemin took the exam, he had certain expectations.

How many perfect marks can Ye Wan get this time?While thinking about this, he walked into the examination room of the second year of high school and began to distribute the test papers.

The bell rang on time, and the old god Li Xuemin was sitting on the podium drinking tea, watching the children in the classroom concentrate on answering the questions.

Li Xuemin laughed as he looked at these vibrant faces.Among these people, there may be those who do business, enter official careers, engage in scientific research, and study academics in the future.Or continue to stay on campus, teaching and educating people like him.

The life of each of them has not officially started yet, and there are still infinite possibilities.But at this moment, no one knows what they will be like in the future, but they are not stingy to look forward to it with the most beautiful words.

Li Xuemin has taught countless students in his life, and he can be said to be full of peaches and plums.But he never cared about what the students look like after entering the society, and how much they have achieved.

His career lies in the process of teaching and educating people.

It was this process that made him reluctant to leave.

The first subject was Chinese. When Li Xuemin collected the papers, he looked at the words on each paper, then shook his head, thinking that the principal should find time to do a calligraphy practice activity, and supervise the calligraphy of these students.

He collected all the papers, put them in a sealed bag, and walked to his office.

The teaching building of the second year of high school is separate from that of the first year of high school, and there is not a long distance between them.Li Xuemin walked down the corridor slowly, and bumped into the anxious-looking English teacher of the first year of high school, who happened to be the one who taught his class.

"Teacher Zhou, what's the matter?" Li Xuemin asked hurriedly.

When the young male teacher wearing glasses saw him, he almost trotted over, grabbed him and asked, "Mr. Li, has the monitor of your class asked you for leave?"

Li Xuemin was taken aback for a moment, and asked him, "What leave?"

"This is bad." Teacher Zhou's forehead is covered with sweat. Although he has high teaching quality, he is young and has little experience. He always shows his emotions on his face.

"She hasn't come to school yet, Mr. Li, this child is not like this usually, so don't let something happen."

Li Xuemin was also surprised when he heard the words, but he soon remembered that Ye Wanwan missed the exam once, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong.He quickly comforted Mr. Zhou and asked him to go back to invigilate the exam first and handle it by himself.

The first call was still on Ye Wan's cell phone. Hearing the notification sound of shutting down the phone, Li Xuemin thought about it, and called the principal again.

This time, no one answered at all.

Li Xuemin cursed secretly that Ye Chengze would never be able to find anyone at a critical moment, turned around and walked to the principal's office of the Academic Affairs Office.

He walked faster than a high school student at his feet, and the students around him looked at him in amazement.

"Mr. Li, please slow down, don't fall."

Someone shouted that Li Xuemin had no time to deal with them right now, so he rushed to the Academic Affairs Office without stopping.

The principal's office is on the second floor. He climbed up the stairs out of breath, and pushed open the door of the office, only to find that there was no one inside.

Li Xuemin called Ye Chengze again, and the phone rang a few seconds later, which came from the desk.

"I don't have a mobile phone, and I don't have a mobile phone!" The fat old man was so angry that he circled around in place. He pressed the phone and continued to dial Ye Wan's mobile phone number until he was about to get through.

Ye Chengze, who came back from the bathroom, pushed open the door, saw Li Xuemin, frowned, and asked, "Mr. Li, what's the matter?"

When Li Xuemin saw him, he scolded immediately: "Do you know that your daughter didn't come to school? What do you do every day? Is it your own? You don't care?"

Ye Chengze was a little bit overwhelmed by the scolding, but the person in front of him was his teacher anyway, so he could only bear the scolding.

"Teacher Li, don't get excited, tell me what's going on?" He walked over, helped Li Xuemin sit down on the sofa, and poured him another glass of water.

Li Xuemin became angry when he saw his unhurried appearance. He patted the coffee table and asked in a raised voice: "I told you to pay attention to her emotions during this time, did you not listen? This child Don’t you know how easy it is to go to extremes? Don’t worry if you’re still here when everyone’s gone, is there such a father as you?”

Ye Chengze was so scolded that he couldn't speak, so he could only pick up the mobile phone on the desk and call Ye Wan.

Still shutting down.

"She hasn't come to take the exam yet?" Ye Chengze couldn't help asking.

Li Xuemin was out of breath, took a few sips of water, and said, "I don't care how you fight with the child's mother, but you are the father who has the responsibility to care about her. Her mother just left, can the child bear it? You today Don't go anywhere, hurry up and get him back."

Ye Chengze thought about it, and said with some embarrassment: "This matter may have nothing to do with her mother."

Li Xuemin knew it from his expression. Among his students, Ye Chengze had spent the longest time with him. The two had been working together in school. Li Xuemin understood his personality and even family affairs very well.

"Don't tell me that you brought the woman back home."

Ye Chengze didn't speak, but Li Xuemin still didn't know anything.He stood up, pointed at Ye Chengze and trembled, and was speechless for a long time.

"... Confused, you!"

Li Xuemin was anxious, walked back and forth with his hands behind his back, pointed at him and cursed: "What is your daughter's personality? You know better than me, right? What are you doing to bring her back at this time? You are trying to force her to deny you Are you willing?"

"Her mother's bones are not yet cold, and she is at such a sensitive age. It seems that the college entrance examination will be in two years. You don't want to make her feel better, do you?"

Ye Chengze was a little wronged, and he quickly said: "Mr. Li, I have no choice but to do this. I have my own reasons, but don't you know what I am? I can still distinguish the priorities. There are reasons for this."

"Wanwan is just in a bad mood right now. After a long time, she will understand me." He said, lowered his head and sighed.

Ye Chengze didn't even have the confidence to say this.

No one knows better than him how bad the relationship between Ye Wan and him is now.

It could almost be called walking on thin ice. If there was a little carelessness, both father and daughter would have to do it.

"The character of this child is too much like her mother." Ye Chengze wiped his face, feeling a little depressed.

Li Xuemin glanced at him, shook his head, and said after a while: "Chengze, the relationship between children is based on maintenance. Don't really hurt your daughter's heart."

"She is a good child, and she is also the pride of our No. [-] Middle School. I have watched her grow up from birth to this age. She can be so good because of her own hard work, and she has never relied on your relationship."

"Think about how to save it, and don't let what happened to her in junior high school happen again."

After Li Xuemin finished speaking, he sighed and went back to invigilate the exam.

Sitting in the office, Ye Chengze picked up his mobile phone and opened it.He looked at the photo on the screen and smiled wryly.

The lesser of two evils, whichever is the lesser, is his life.

"Hey, Old Zhao. I need you to do something for me." Ye Chengze put the phone to his ear, took a pen in his hand and wrote a string of addresses on the paper.

"I'll give you an address, and you can rent it for me. Find someone to clean it up, and it's enough for two people to live in."

"Thank you, I'll treat you to a drink another day."

Bai Tian finished the last subject step by step, and did not see Ye Wan come to school.

According to Liu Ran's reliable information, Li Laotu was worried about this matter for a day, and even went to the principal.

After the exam, she returned the borrowed pen, packed her things, and quickly slipped out of the school under Liu Ran's usual eyes.

Today's temperature has dropped, Bai Tian is wrapped in the new down jacket that third uncle bought her yesterday, afraid that the clothes will be scratched by climbing over the wall, so she can only dig out of the dog's hole.

As soon as she left school, she took out her mobile phone to call Ye Wan.

Shut down.

Bai Tian was not surprised, nor even anxious.

It's long overdue, she thought.

With Ye Wan's character, it's normal to do such a thing, so normal that Bai Tian even heaved a sigh of relief.

She called the landline in the small shop, and when she heard Wei Zheng answer the phone, she asked, "Has she been here today?"

Wei Zheng hesitated for a long time before answering: "She won't let me tell."

Bai Tian understood, and directly took a taxi to the store.

Wei Zheng hung up the phone, and when he turned around, he saw Ye Wan who came downstairs at some time, he patted his chest with lingering fear, and asked, "Why are you silent?"

Ye Wan squinted at him: "If I speak up, do you still have a chance to betray me?"

"Don't put it so harshly, I'm creating opportunities for you." Wei Zheng said with a playful smile.

Ye Wan didn't bother to talk to him.

When Bai Tian pushed aside the thick curtain and walked in, Ye Wan was at the cash register to settle accounts, she didn't raise her head, and said directly: "Don't cook today."

The person who walked in was empty-handed and rolled his eyes at her, "I'm not the cook you hired, so I'm here to cook?"

Ye Wan smiled, put the account book back and locked the drawer.

"Let's go." She picked up the mobile phone at the side and walked towards Bai Tian.

Bai Tian looked at her wonderingly, and asked, "Where are you going?"

The hand was held suddenly, Bai Tian let Ye Wan drag her out of the shop in a daze.The girl in a white winter coat turned around and said to her with a smile:

"I'm in a good mood today, let's go on a date."
