Chapter 15371537: Liar (24)
It was midsummer and the room was a little stuffy. Seeing that Teacher Qin's head was covered with sweat, Ning Huanxin searched on the coffee table and found the air conditioner remote control. She turned on the air conditioner and adjusted it to a very comfortable temperature.
At this moment, Teacher Qin was completely immersed in a certain emotion.
"Back then, Yao Rui and I had a very good relationship, so when I saw him with a female student outside of school, I was very nervous, fearing that he would make mistakes due to his youthful impetuosity."
Teacher Qin looked into the distance and gradually opened up, telling Ning Huanxin about what happened more than 20 years ago.
"The female student at that time was Ruan Qingqing. Her dress was very unique. In today's words, it should be called...weird."
Teacher Qin sighed, "I've seen them together several times, and I was very worried at the time, because although Yao Rui is a good kid and a good role model in the eyes of others, he has a good relationship with me and always treats me as an older sister. He told me privately that he is actually very rebellious and was once very decadent when he was abroad. It was only after returning to China that he gradually restrained himself, especially when he taught at a university, where he had acquaintances everywhere, and he had to wear a mask to live his life. In fact, the him in the eyes of others is not the real him at all."
perhaps……
It is because he has been suppressing himself that Yao Rui only reveals his true self once he leaves school and is surrounded by strangers.
"I don't know what happened between him and Ruan Qingqing. Maybe they had some kind of dispute outside of school. Not long after that, Ruan Qingqing became pregnant. It caused a big uproar in the school. Ruan Qingqing insisted that the baby in her belly was Yao Rui's."
Teacher Qin had a complicated expression when she said this: "At that time, no one believed that the child was Yao Rui's, except me. I had some doubts, so I secretly went to confront Yao Rui. He was not in a good mood at that time. No matter what I asked him, he was unwilling to say more. He just kept telling me that the child in Ruan Qingqing's belly was not his. He refused to reveal anything else when I asked him."
Although these past events happened many years ago, when I think back on them now, they still seem like yesterday.
Teacher Qin looked at the photo again, and his expression looked particularly sad.
"Later, not long after, Ruan Qingqing jumped off the building and died. Many people secretly said that she died to prove her innocence because before she died, she wrote a line of words on the rooftop of the teaching building - liars will not have a good end. Everyone thought she was hinting that Yao Rui had been lying all along."
If Ruan Qingqing was the one who lied, why did she leave that line of words and jump off the building to die? Most people are used to sympathizing with the weak. The weaker the party, the more support and understanding they will get.
"At that time, the atmosphere in the school was very strange. Everyone went from believing that Yao Rui was innocent at the beginning to looking at him with suspicion and strange eyes in the end. At that time, I actually believed in him even more."
Teacher Qin couldn't help but look up at Ning Huanxin as he spoke. "After all, I watched him grow up, and I don't think he would lie. Later, I went to see Yao Rui again. At that time, he was close to a breakdown. He said that Ruan Qingqing's child was really not his. He had only met Ruan Qingqing a few times outside of school before, and wanted to help her get back on the right track, so he kept in touch with her. Later, Ruan Qingqing even complained to him, saying that she was being watched and threatened by some people in the school. But... Yao Rui didn't know who those people were, because no matter how he asked, Ruan Qingqing refused to say, until the day before Ruan Qingqing committed suicide, she found Yao Rui and asked him to go to the rooftop."
