Chapter 6 Appearance and Fact
When getting off the taxi, Bai Tian still thanked the people in the car.
Although she was a little angry with this person, it was an indisputable fact that she was helped by him.
Looking at the people who didn't respond, Bai Tian hesitated, then went to the back of the car and took a picture of the license plate number, and said to her, "Be careful, send me a message when you get home."
She said this to the driver, because the two of them are not close enough to exchange mobile phone numbers.
The person with half of his face hidden in the hoodie didn't seem to understand. He looked at Bai Tian and said, "But I don't have your mobile phone number."
Gritting his teeth, Bai Tian reluctantly gave out his number.
After watching the car go a long way, she held her schoolbag and pushed open the iron gate outside the yard.
Seeing the light on in the room unexpectedly, Bai Tian scratched his face, walked in slowly and began to change his shoes.
The person who had been home for half an hour was sitting in the living room, calculating something with a calculator, and said without raising his head after hearing the voice, "You know you're back?"
Bai Tian put on his slippers, went over to sit down with his schoolbag in his arms.
Bai Laosan ignored her, and took the calculator to do the calculation again.He looked at the calculator in bewilderment, flipped through the account on the previous page of the notebook with some doubts, and when he was about to do the calculation again, the person sitting opposite him said: "Wrong, I added two more 86." Yuan."
Putting down the calculator angrily, he raised his head and looked at the person who obediently admitted his mistake, and his anger flared up again.
"Aunt Li next door said that you didn't come back until after ten o'clock. Are you treating me as dead?"
Bai Tian lowered her head, consciously not to mess with her third uncle at this critical moment.
The clock hanging on the wall is turning the second hand with a click, and it will stop at the number "12" together with the minute and hour hands in a while.
What an unlucky day, Bai Tian thought silently.
"From tomorrow, you will come to the restaurant for me immediately after school, and you are not allowed to go anywhere!"
Bai Tian said without thinking, "Not tomorrow."
The youngest Bai stared at her, as if he was about to lose his temper, Bai Tian immediately became cowardly, and said in a low voice, "I have something to do tomorrow. Next week, I'll go after school from next week on."
"Are you still bargaining with me? What's the matter with you? Go to a black Internet cafe or a game hall? You mean to piss me off, don't you?"
Seeing that he was really angry, Bai Tian had to tell the truth: "No, I'm going to work part-time, and I'll get my salary in a few days, so I'll resign at that time."
Bai Laosan was stunned, looked at her for a long time before saying: "Why are you working part-time? Am I missing you for food or for your clothes?"
The hand holding the strap of the schoolbag was tightened, Bai Tian replied a little discouraged: "No."
After explaining everything about breaking his classmate's hairpin, Bai Tian sat on the sofa irritably, watching the back of the silently walking into the bedroom, and shouted to him after a long while: "I'm going to take a shower first."
The water heater in the bathroom was broken again. Bai Tian waited for the hot water for 10 minutes, and it was almost 12:30 after washing.While wiping her hair, she went back to her bedroom, planning to read a book before going to sleep.
He took out an old textbook from a drawer, and Bai Tian read it for a few minutes, then thought of something, and opened another drawer.
She searched for it, pulled out the first volume of "Economic Applied Mathematics", opened it and spread it on the desk.
Bai Tian took a pencil, looked at the sample problem above, and calculated on the desktop.After finishing the calculation, she compared the answers, wiped the table with an eraser with some satisfaction, and then closed the book and put it back.
There was a knock on the bedroom door, Bai Tian hurriedly put all the books back in the drawer, and then opened a comic.
"Come in." She looked at the manga and replied.
Bai Laosan stood at the door, holding a stack of banknotes in his hand, he put the money on Bai Tian's desk, and said, "I will pay it to your classmate, and I will quit my job in the restaurant tomorrow."
After speaking, he closed the door.
Bai Tian looked at the brand-new six hundred-yuan banknotes on the table, and unwittingly scratched them with his fingers holding the comic book so hard.
She closed the comic book, leaned back, and put all her strength on the back of the chair.
The mobile phone in the schoolbag rang, Bai Tian looked over, then straightened up, picked up the schoolbag and took out the mobile phone.
It was a message from an unknown number.
【I am home. 】
Bai Tian looked at this message, pressed the delete button, and closed the phone half a day later without doing anything.
The next morning, Bai Tian overslept without any surprise.
She climbed out of bed top-heavy, took out a packet of cold medicine, and went to the kitchen to heat up her breakfast.
Taking a look at the time, Bai Tian didn't even wear his school uniform at all, picked up his phone and keys and went out.
The restaurant hadn't opened yet, so she approached the store manager and offered to resign with apology.Fortunately, enough manpower has been recruited at this moment. The store manager was a little soft-hearted when he saw that she came out to work at such a young age, and did not deduct half a cent of her wages.
Bai Tian thanked him again and again, and left the restaurant.
Holding the warm wages, she stepped into the shining silver jewelry store again.
Almost impatient to pay off the debt, Bai Tian didn't even go home, and went to school directly in casual clothes.
Maybe Bai Tian's bad luck has come to an end. Today, Li Laobald went to attend a class in another school, and he was not in school. Bai Tian was lucky to escape the catastrophe.It was already lunch time when she arrived in the classroom, she searched around and found no one, so she simply stopped a class committee member and asked, "Have you seen the class monitor?"
The boy wearing glasses thought for a while and replied, "I should have gone to the laboratory building. She said she wanted to get the test paper from the chemistry teacher."
Bai Tian said thank you, and walked towards the laboratory building with the gift bag.
The chemistry laboratory is on the fourth floor, and she has hardly been there a few times. She finally climbed up to the fourth floor, but she was a little lost in the direction, and it took a long time before she arrived at the place smoothly.
The classroom door was closed, Bai Tian looked outside wonderingly, only to find that the curtains had also been drawn.
Is it already gone?
She thought about it with the bag in her hand, and prepared to return the same way with a helpless face.
When he passed the classroom door again, there was a small sound coming from inside. Bai Tian stopped and listened carefully, and vaguely heard crying.The scene that she ran into not long ago suddenly reappeared in her mind, her heart sank, and she slowly approached the door.
Before she reached out to knock on the door, the people inside pushed it open and came out.
The tearful man met Bai Tian's eyes, then quickly passed by, and trotted away.
Bai Tian stood there in a daze, and turned to look at another person in the classroom.
The person leaning against the edge of the iron platform accepted Bai Tian's gaze expressionlessly, she remained silent, and seemed not to want to give any explanation for this strange scene.
Bai Tian looked at her incomprehensibly, the gift bag in his hand was pinched so hard that it was deformed.
"What did you do to her?"
When encountering these things again and again, even if he doesn't want to interfere, Bai Tian can't remain indifferent.She is also just a high school student, seeing her classmates being hurt in front of her, how could she pretend that she didn't see it.
The people in the classroom ignored her, raised their hands and took out a tissue from the side, and wiped their fingers.Bai Tian keenly caught a glimpse of red dots on the paper towel, like bloodstains.
She walked into the classroom, closed and locked the door.
There seemed to be a strange smell in the airtight classroom, but mixed with the smell of chemicals, Bai Tian couldn't tell what the strange smell was.
"Ye Wan, I've seen it all." Bai Tian called her name for the first time, and he couldn't even hide the calm on his face.
"Including the last time, it was also this girl, right?"
She has a good memory, and she will not easily forget a face she has seen once, let alone on a special occasion.
Bai Tian stepped forward and stood in front of Ye Wan. The height of the two forced her to raise her head to look at each other, but it didn't make her look weak, because at this moment, Bai Tian was really angry.
The person leaning against the iron platform met her gaze with a calm expression, as if he had no intention of talking at all.
This look reminded Bai Tian of the day he first saw her outside the school, when Ye Wan, who was wearing a black sweater, watched the bloody bullying unfold in front of her with this look.
And she herself is that leader.
"You are too much."
Seeing her unmoved, Bai Tian felt chills all over.
"If there is another time, I will definitely report you."
She gritted her teeth and said these words, threw the bag in her hand on the iron stand, then opened the classroom door and left quickly without looking back.
The people standing there watched her disappear into the corridor. After a while, they reached out to pick up the crumpled dark blue gift bag.
The exquisite and compact box is packed inside, the weight is very light, but the price is not cheap.
The slender fingers opened the box, and a pair of finely crafted crystal hair clips appeared in front of the eyes, shining faintly in the dimly lit classroom.
"It's really cute."
The casual words fell lightly, but I don't know if it was the hairpin or something else.
The next morning, the girls in Class A discovered that the crystal hairpin that had disappeared from the monitor's head for a long time had returned.They withdrew their gazes enviously, and comforted themselves that "no matter how good-looking something is, it must be good-looking", and finally gave up the idea of buying the same style.
The monthly exam is imminent, and the only one in the teacher's office is Li Laotu, who is leisurely exercising downstairs with a teacup all day long.
"Ms. Liu, you should not underestimate your lumbar disc herniation, move more, don't sit all the time."
The chemistry teacher let the fat old man drag him to babble for a long time with a sad face, and was only let go when the class bell rang.
He walked back to the office with the thick kraft paper bag in his arms, and while there was no one around, he complained to the new female teacher: "It's the same for Teacher Li, she still doesn't retire at such an old age, and she still has to teach the top class. "
The female teacher smiled: "I think Teacher Li is still in good health. It is a blessing for the students to stay in school."
Teacher Liu pursed his mouth and said nothing more.
He took out the new test papers in the kraft paper bag, divided them into several parts and placed them on the table, and then began to prepare lessons.
Half an hour later, before the get out of class bell rang, someone knocked on the office door and made a report.
Teacher Liu replied, "Come in."
"Ms. Liu, I'm here to get today's test paper."
He raised his head and immediately smiled when he saw the person coming. He picked up the paper on the table and handed it to her, and asked casually, "You haven't finished class yet, why did you come here to get the paper?"
Ye Wan smiled back and replied politely: "Ms. Li asked us to study by ourselves."
He smacked his tongue in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face. He stretched out his hand and patted her shoulder, and said with a smile: "Take it and do it well. I will teach this paper in class tomorrow."
When that hand was withdrawn, Ye Wan turned around with the paper in her arms. She seemed to remember something after taking two steps, and turned back to ask: "By the way, Mr. Liu, were you in the laboratory building at noon yesterday?"
Teacher Liu looked over in surprise and asked, "You're not here, what's the matter?"
Ye Wan looked at him, and said a little embarrassedly: "Maybe the students in Class C misread it. He said you were in the laboratory building, so I went to ask you to get the paper, but I couldn't find you."
He laughed: "Come to the office when you find me in the future. I won't go to the laboratory building when I'm not in class."
Ye Wan nodded, and walked out of the office with the paper in his arms.
The smile on her face disappeared, and when the bell rang for the end of get out of class, she put on her gentle expression again.
When Bai Tian woke up, there was no one in the classroom.
Sleepily, she took out her mobile phone to check the time, took out her schoolbag and prepared to leave.
Maybe it's the sequelae of a cold. In the past two days, she has become more and more lethargic, but she has no energy after sleeping for a long time. Today, she even slept until after school.
There are three high school teaching buildings, and now only the farthest high school is still lit, and the other places have long been quiet, empty and no one is there.
Bai Tian yawned and slowly went downstairs with his schoolbag.When passing the corner of the door of Class C, a voice came faintly, which was still somewhat familiar.
"...You hurt yourself!"
She stopped in her tracks, her dull brain was still reacting to whose voice it was, and another voice sounded: "I can't help it, I really can't help it, I beg you, just treat it as..."
Bai Tian walked over quickly, and pushed open the classroom door of Class C.
The crying red-eyed girl was taken aback, she turned her head to look at Bai Tian who suddenly barged in, as if she was stunned and didn't respond.
The person standing beside her looked over, and after seeing Bai Tian's face clearly, showed an impatient look, and warned coldly: "It's none of your business, don't meddle in it."
Bai Tian's temples hurt intermittently, and she knew it was from being angry.
"I just told you at noon yesterday, if there is a next time..."
"Bai Tian, let me say it again, it's none of your business." Ye Wan looked at her with unprecedented sharpness in his eyes.
The alarm bell sounded in his heart instantly, Bai Tian advised himself that it would be better to stop here, because the Ye Wan in front of him is the real Ye Wan.It is already a serious mistake to be paralyzed by her disguise for too long and forget how dangerous she is. Only by stopping the loss in time can I avoid causing greater trouble.
However, the boy covered in blood popped out of her mind again, even the pained expression was extremely terrifying.
Bai Tian took a deep breath, looked at the girl who hadn't wiped away her tears, pointed at her and asked, "What did she do to offend you? You want to bully her over and over again? Even if you are the principal's daughter , doesn't mean you can be lawless, right?"
The girl pointed at froze for a moment, as if she hadn't recovered.
And Ye Wan's impatience had reached the extreme, she stopped looking at Bai Tian, and pulled the girl to leave the classroom.
Bai Tian stepped forward quickly and grabbed the girl's other hand.
The two looked at each other, and neither of them would give in.
"That... this classmate, you seem to have misunderstood something..."
The girl who was pulled between the two hesitantly broke the deadlock, looked at Bai Tian, and said slowly: "Ye Wan didn't bully me..."
Bai Tian looked at the expressionless person vigilantly, and replied, "Don't be afraid of her, I will help you."
"...No, she really didn't bully me, you misunderstood."
The girl struggled to break away from the hands of the two, wiped the tears from her face, and mustered up her courage to say, "She just wants to help me."
Bai Tian was a little confused, so: "But I have seen her bullying you twice in the laboratory building, the wound on your face, the blood on your body, and..."
Seeing the girl's paler face, Bai Tian closed his mouth.
She finally calmed down, followed by annoyance.
Probably, perhaps, she really misunderstood something.
Quickly analyzing the scenes he saw several times in his mind, Bai Tian realized the blind spot caused by his own preconceived ideas.
——She did not witness the process of Ye Wan bullying this girl with her own eyes, she just made her own judgment based on those superficial things, and then convicted Ye Wan.
Bai Tian was silent for a long time, then raised his head again.
"Sorry, I misunderstood you, I'm sorry."
Bai Tian looked at the expressionless person with some embarrassment, and sincerely apologized for his blindness.
She shouldn't recognize a person just by seeing something in a hurry outside the school.Too self righteous and too stupid.
Perhaps, the incident that happened in the alley may also have something hidden.
Bai Tian thought vacillatingly.
After listening to the apology, the person just said lightly: "It doesn't matter."
Then, he took the girl's hand and left the classroom.
Bai Tian stayed where he was for a long time, heaved a long sigh, and walked out of school depressedly with his schoolbag in his arms.
It was already dark, she stood at the station waiting for the bus, and sent a message to Sanjiu saying that she would be there soon.
After looking at the SMS box on the phone for a while, Bai Tian clicked on the dialog box of the unfamiliar number, typed a sentence and sent it.
Bai Tian didn't receive a reply until he got home with his third uncle at night.
She thought, this is what she deserves.If I had been wronged so indiscriminately, I would still be angry.
But the mistakes she made must be borne by herself. Bai Tian didn't like to avoid problems. She sat on the bed and thought about it, and decided to write an apology letter to the other party, expressing her apology sincerely.
The next morning, Bai Tian arrived at school on time with the envelope in his arms, but he didn't see his deskmate.
There was a noisy discussion in the classroom, but she yawned and lay down with her eyes closed, not listening.
Ye Wan didn't show up in the classroom until lunch.
Liu Ran sat in the corner of the cafeteria, chomping on beef and rice noodles, and said to Bai Tian, who had no energy, "Boss, Boss, do you know why Teacher Liu was taken away by the police?"
Bai Tian was stunned, and asked blankly, "Took away by the police?"
Liu Ran looked at her with wide eyes, and asked in disbelief, "Don't you know? Everyone saw it this morning. Two policemen came to the school and took Teacher Liu away."
Bai Tian shook his head, "Why? Teacher Liu committed a crime?"
Liu Ran glanced around, then approached mysteriously and whispered, "I heard that he was reported anonymously."
"Report him for what?"
"Sexual assault on female students."
