Zhang Wei was horrified by her cold attitude, and the desire to survive overwhelmed everything.
He took a step forward, almost throwing himself in front of her, and said humbly, "Dafeng... Comrade Dafeng, please help! Please help! My brother... something happened at home!"
Wang Dafeng frowned even tighter, leaning back slightly to create some distance. "Your brother? What's going on?"
Zhang Wei spoke incoherently and quickly recounted the story of his brother being arrested, emphasizing the "wrong" and "mistakes", and finally almost begged:
"Dafeng, I know your family has connections. Please... please talk to your family and help me. I will... I will obey you from now on. I can even marry into your family."
He was eager to express his promise, but was speechless for a moment and could only look at her.
After Zhang Wei finished speaking, she was silent for a few seconds.
This brief silence made Zhang Wei's heart rise to his throat.
"Comrade Zhang Wei."
"Let's forget about this matter. Wang Dafeng can't be involved with a family like yours."
Zhang Wei's heart sank suddenly, and he wanted to argue: "Dafeng..."
Wang Dafeng raised her hand and decisively interrupted him, "Your family can't help you, and besides, you shouldn't help. If you make a mistake, you must accept the organization's review and handling. This is the principle."
"As for the relationship between you two, it was originally just a way for classmates to get to know each other. Now that something serious has happened in your family, I feel that it's not appropriate for you to continue to have any contact. You... take care of yourself."
After saying this, she turned around neatly without even looking at Zhang Wei again.
Zhang Wei was frozen in place, with only the biting cold wind blowing fallen leaves, swirling around his feet.
His legs went limp and he collapsed completely onto the cold cement.
Zhang Wei left school the next day.
A few days later, I stepped into this familiar campus again.
He came with his head hung, his steps dragging, his hair messy, and his eyes cloudy.
The family was completely ruined. The eldest brother was basically charged with embezzling public funds and was awaiting sentencing.
The little savings and valuables he had saved had already been used up in the process of asking others for help.
Not to mention continuing to study, even surviving became a problem.
Moreover, his elder brother influenced him, and he was pointed at wherever he went.
After completing the withdrawal procedures, he walked out of the gray building of the Academic Affairs Office in a daze, ready to completely leave this place that no longer belonged to him, when his eyes inadvertently swept across the tree-lined avenue not far away.
The footsteps were so strong that they nailed the original.
놆沉茉.
She was walking side by side with two or three female classmates, still holding a few books in her arms.
The sunlight filtered through the sparse branches of the sycamore trees, casting mottled shadows on her pretty face.
She tilted her head slightly, as if listening to something her companion was saying, with a smile on her lips and her brows relaxed, an expression Zhang Wei had never seen before.
That posture formed a glaring contrast with the gloomy and depressing surroundings and the surging despair in his heart.
Zhang Wei rushed over with red eyes.
He roared, his finger almost poking the tip of Shen Mo's nose, "Shen Mo, are you okay? Tell me, this is your family's business, your brother's business... are you up to something?"
The sudden change shocked the girls.
The smile on Shen Mo's face disappeared instantly. She took a half step back, frowned, and looked directly at Zhang Wei's face, which was distorted by anger, with her cold eyes, without panic.
"Comrade Zhang Wei, what does your family incident have to do with you? Do you think you are capable of such a thing?"
Zhang Wei's emotions were completely out of control, and saliva was almost spitting out: "You are pretending, and you are still pretending. I haven't offended anyone except you..."
His words were rudely interrupted.
Two school guards wearing faded green uniforms and red armbands had quickly surrounded them at some point, apparently startled by the noise nearby.
They were big and strong, with serious expressions. They clamped Zhang Wei's waving arms on the left and right with great force.
"What are you doing? Are you causing trouble in school?" one of them shouted harshly.
Zhang Wei struggled hard, like a wild beast caught in a net, and roared: "Let go, I want to ask her, Chen Mo, you..."
"This student is agitated and harassing several of us female comrades. Please ask him to leave the school."
"Chen Mo! You..." Zhang Wei roared and his mouth was covered tightly by a rough big hand.
"Behave yourself!" another guard pushed hard, "Go! Don't act wild here!"
Zhang Wei was half-dragged and half-carried by two guards as he walked towards the school gate in a panic.
The last scene he saw was Chen Mo picking up the book again and whispering something to the frightened classmates around her. Then they calmed down and continued to walk along the boulevard, as if the farce had never happened.
The sun still falls on her, so far away.
Since then, there has been no news from Zhang Wei, and Shen Mo's life at Medical University has become quiet.
That evening, Shen Mo had just returned from school and was about to pour a glass of water when her eyes were attracted by something extra on the windowsill.
That small bunch of flowers in full bloom exuded a clear and distant fragrance in the twilight.
Next to the flower branch, there was a small packet of honey carefully wrapped in oil paper.
Shen Mo's fingertips gently brushed across the cold petals, and the corners of her lips curved slightly.
It was autumn and the weather was a little cooler, so she put on a coat before going out.
Lu Qingyang was sitting in the yard. "Are the flowers still there?"
"Yeah." Shen Mo responded, her eyes fell on his face, and she said directly, "Mi Sandao is okay."
"Zhang Wei dropped out of school, his family is broke, and his brother is in jail. Tell me, this thing can't be solved?"
"Tell me, did you do that?"
"His brother is dishonest and embezzled public funds. The evidence is irrefutable and should be investigated. As for him..."
Lu Qingyang paused and said, "He has bad intentions and doesn't study hard at school. He's always thinking of crooked ways and harassing his classmates. If he stays in school, it will waste his place and affect the atmosphere."
"You're right. Life is much quieter now." Shen Mo raised a smile.
"Now, you can rest assured at school. It's the best of both worlds."
