“Teacher Sheng?”
Bai Lixin was stunned on seeing the person outside the door, then reacted after seeing the pen in the other party’s hand: “You’re here to return my pen?”
Teacher Sheng held the pen case with both hands and hesitated for a moment before giving it to Bai Lixin, “I was in a bit of a hurry that day and forgot the pen, so I’m returning it to you.”
He watched Bai Lixin take the pen back with reluctance, then said, “The lights will be out in five minutes, so get some rest.”
“Teacher Sheng,” Bai Lixin called out to Teacher Sheng as he was about to leave, “I was going to look for you too, and now that you’re here, I have something to show you.”
Teacher Sheng stopped in his tracks and stared at the pen case in Bai Lixin’s hand, his eyes, which had gone dim, instantly brightened up.
Seeing the look in Teacher Sheng’s eyes, Bai Lixin took out a pouch from his backpack.
The pouch was deflated, but Bai Lixin dug inside it for a long time and took out a box from it, saying, “I found this in Huang Xiaolian’s basement.”
Teacher Sheng’s puzzled gaze moved away from the pen case and fell on the box.
Inside the box were a few tapes, and Teacher Sheng froze when he saw the words on the spine of the tapes.
He immediately grabbed the box and, without waiting for Bai Lixin to say anything, swiftly pulled off the films inside, ripping them straight off and balling them up.
Bai Lixin watched Teacher Sheng’s actions in silence, the other party didn’t stop until he destroyed the last tape.
Teacher Sheng’s usual indifferent face showed a bit of shame and resentment, but also a bit of relief. The sharp eyes stared sharply at Bai Lixin, and he asked in an almost oppressive tone, “Who the hell are you?”
It was almost time for lights out, so Bai Lixin sidled to the side to make way for him, “Do you want to come in and talk?”
Teacher Sheng hesitated for a few seconds, looked at the pen case again, and finally walked in with the box in his arms.
Su Fan had just come out of the shower and was covered in a mist. He saw someone walk in, and his cold eyes looked over like a fierce shark in the deep sea.
Teacher Sheng was startled, and a layer of sweat faintly seeped out of his forehead.
Why are you staring at me like that? I’m not digging up your ancestral grave.
In contrast, Bai Lixin was much more reasonable.
Teacher Sheng moved his feet and silently moved to Bai Lixin’s side.
Bai Lixin pulled out a chair for Teacher Sheng: “Teacher Sheng, please sit down.”
Teacher Sheng sat down and looked up at the young man in front of him, asking again, “Who are you?”
Bai Lixin: “I’m an ordinary student; I just met Xiao Jing by accident.”
Teacher Sheng froze for two seconds. ‘Met Xiao Jing?’
Bai Lixin: “I’ll tell you a story; I hope you can listen to it. About twenty years ago, there were two people in a certain institute, one named Xiao Jing and one named Sheng’er.”
A distant bell sounded for lights out, and the lights in the dormitory were instantly turned off.
Darkness suddenly struck, but also the past.
The young man’s spring-like, warm, and clear voice rang out in the dark room, “What a coincidence! Someone in there even has the same last name as you, teacher.”
“The two might have become friends because they were both hurt by their families or had a lot in common; in any case, in those painful times, the two lonely boys relied on each other and became close friends.”
“The boys probably even made plans for the future, it didn’t have any adult nastiness, just pure friendship.”
“However, Xiao Jing started becoming more and more withdrawn. Sheng’er later found that Xiao Jing was being bullied by an evil man, he wanted to ask Xiao Jing but was also afraid that Xiao Jing would feel inferior and despair, so he pretended not to notice.”
“Until one day, Xiao Jing was tortured so much that he chose to commit suicide in the dormitory.”
“At that time, Sheng’er was determined to help Xiao Jing take revenge.”
“After graduating, he returned to the school that the two despised the most. He started as a school doctor, and after more than ten years of hard work, he slowly got closer to that evil man.”
Bai Lixin calmly narrated the story that had been precipitated by the years. At this point, he noticed that the pen case in his hand had started shaking.
Teacher Sheng: “What a bad story, the beginning was beautiful, the development was full of tragedy, and the ending remained open.”
Bai Lixin’s soft laugh rang out in the darkness, “What does Teacher Sheng think of Sheng’er in the story?”
“What else?” Teacher Sheng said coldly, “he doesn’t deserve sympathy.”
“He knew what happened to Xiao Jing even before the tragedy struck but chose to keep quiet. He was Xiao Jing’s friend, and he should have pulled him out of the abyss when he was at his most desperate. But when Xiao Jing was in such pain, he pretended like nothing had happened.”
“If he had done something at the very beginning, perhaps Xiao Jing wouldn’t have died at all.”
“Whatever he did later doesn’t deserve praise, nothing will bring Xiao Jing back.”
“Revenge just satisfies the desire for revenge; what can Xiang Jing feel when he is already gone? It’s all just wishful redemption for that man.”
“So what if he went undercover to defeat the villain? Indirectly speaking, he is considered to have joined the camp of the villain.”
“The tainted heart has long since been unworthy of being Xiao Jing’s friend, if Xiao Jing were still around, he would only spit at him for becoming the evil man’s lackey. This story has no meaning.”
The pen case in Bai Lixin’s hand trembled with every word Teacher Sheng said, and Xiao Jing’s voice rang out in Bai Lixin’s mind, [No, I wouldn’t do that.]
As time passed, the three people gradually adjusted to the darkness in front of them, and their eyes were able to see a little.
Teacher Sheng could only vaguely see the blurred form of the young man in front of him, a pair of shimmering eyes being the only features that could be seen in the dark outline.
Bai Lixin: [It would be more believable if you said this kind of thing yourself.]
Xiao Jing sounded a little timid: [No, I’m too ugly now. I have always looked the most perfect in my mind; I can’t let him see my disgusting appearance.]
Bai Lixin: [You’ve been with him for the past two days and you haven’t even shown yourself?]
Xiao Jing: [I’ve been sneaking a glance after he falls asleep; how could I show myself?]
[He grew up from a teenager to a middle-aged man in a step-by-step manner, while my destiny is at the age of 18.]
[If I can’t grow up with him, why do I have to come out and add to his worries?]
[It’s enough that we are in the same world.]
Bai Lixin looked at Teacher Sheng, who was hiding his sadness and regret in the darkness, and then recalled Xiao Jing’s words and gave a helpless laugh.
Bai Lixin: [You two are really suited to be friends.]
[Why not let go after so many years? You worry that he will feel disgusted after seeing your face, while he feels that his actions led to your death and that he is not worthy of being your friend.]
[The two of you are always looking out for each other, but this kind of behavior makes the other person suffer more.]
[Haven’t you already paid a terrible price twenty years ago?]
[The starting point is the same, but the end may not be as good as it should be.]
[The fact that so much time has passed is proof enough that your friendship is indestructible. You don’t have to be so careful when taking care of it; it’s much stronger than you.]
Teacher Sheng didn’t say another word after that sentence. The minutes passed, but he sat in his chair quietly, as if he had turned into a stone.
An indescribable sadness spread out from around him, he was still alive, yet he seemed to be dead, as if he would be pulled into the abyss of death in the next moment.
Xiao Jing looked at Teacher Sheng’s change with some fear and anxiety in his tone: [What’s wrong with him?]
Bai Lixin: [I told you, he is guilty and very remorseful towards you. I’ve heard it mentioned occasionally before: he hasn’t had a single friend for all these years; he hasn’t gotten married; he is always alone.]
[You can just go, pat your sleeves, and leave without any worries. But I think that the moment you died, he might have died with you. Only the matter of avenging you has been supporting him, but that support is now gone.]
Xiao Jing: [What happens if I hold on? What did you mean when you said: “go”? Does it mean “die”? Are you saying he will end his life soon? There’s no need to go this far for me!]
Bai Lixin: [High mountains and rivers meet bosom friends. Some die for fame and fortune, and some choose to die for loved ones. No one forces them to.]
[Xiao Jing, I called him in because I saw the aura of death emanating from his body.]
[Only you can save him now, I’m just telling you for fear that you will go down the cycle of regret in the future. The ultimate choice is yours.]
Xiao Jing hid in the pen and listened to Bai Lixin’s words in a daze.
Xiang Jing knew Teacher Sheng’s state clearly, he suffered from insomnia every night, so he would look at his mobile phone, read a book, or just sit in front of the window, staring out of it in a daze.
He would not go to bed until 3 or 4 a.m. and would only sleep for an hour before washing up and going to work.
like a walking corpse.
He thought Sheng’er was just having insomnia, seeing as he usually acted normally during the day. He always had a cold expression, hiding all his emotions, when in actuality, things were already so serious.
Xiao Jing finally made up his mind: [Give him the pen.]
After a long silence, Teacher Sheng finally spoke again: “Bai Lixin, why did you give those tapes to me? Is it a coincidence? Or…?”
The voice was cold, with a touch of frustration.
Bai Lixin followed the voice and shoved the pen into Teacher Sheng’s arms, “Didn’t I say that I knew Xiao Jing?”
The pen case he had just returned was back in his hands, and Teacher Sheng did not react, still pondering what Bai Lixin meant by “I know Xiao Jing.”
As he looked down at the pen in confusion, he was suddenly tapped three times on his left shoulder.
That was his and Xiao Jing’s code.
Teacher Sheng instantly froze; he suddenly looked up but found Bai Lixin still opposite him. The always silent Su Fan was walking around the bed, tinkering with something.
Weren’t there only three people in this room?
And why would this other person know this secret code?!
It was his secret with Xiao Jing; no one could know it except them!
Teacher Sheng’s pupils contracted violently, his shoulders stiffened abruptly, and his whole body tensed up like a spring.
The hand was still clasped on his shoulder, with no intention of leaving.
He didn’t hear the sound of breathing, but he could feel a person standing behind him.
or rather, the presence of someone.
Bai Lixin stood up and walked to the balcony after leaving the words, “You guys can talk slowly.”
‘Su Fan has been sneaking around since a while ago; what was he up to?’
–“You guys talk slowly?”
Who is the “you” that Bai Lixin was referring to?
After all, the always-cold Su Fan had followed Bai Lixin to the balcony.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
“Teacher Sheng?”
Bai Lixin was stunned on seeing the person outside the door, then reacted after seeing the pen in the other party’s hand: “You’re here to return my pen?”
Teacher Sheng held the pen case with both hands and hesitated for a moment before giving it to Bai Lixin, “I was in a bit of a hurry that day and forgot the pen, so I’m returning it to you.”

The always silent Su Fan was walking around the bed, tinkering with something.Weren't there only three people in this room?And why would this other person know this secret code?!It was his secret with Xiao Jing; no one could know it except them!Teacher Sheng's pupils contracted violently, his shoulders stiffened abruptly, and his whole body tensed up like a spring.The hand was still clasped on his shoulder, with no intention of leaving.He didn't hear the sound of breathing, but he could feel a person standing behind him.or rather, the presence of someone.Bai Lixin stood up and walked to the balcony after leaving the words, You guys can talk slowly.Su Fan has been sneaking around since a while ago; what was he up to?'You guys talk slowly?Who is the you that Bai Lixin was referring to?After all, the always-cold Su Fan had followed Bai Lixin to the balcony.
