After the two tossed a paper, Lou Cheng hugged him to sleep and touched a scar on his waist.

 

According to Ding Xuerun, this was a kind of surgical wound.

 

As a result, every time Lou Cheng touched, he didn’t dare to use force for fear of aggravating Ding Xuerun’s old illness. It was the anniversary of Ding Xuerun’s mother’s death in a few days. Lou Cheng could tell that his smile had shrunk. He was still afraid to bring up the subject of his mother. When Ding Xuerun went to the grave, Lou Cheng couldn’t stop himself from asking, “Runrun, do you want me to accompany you?”

 

Ding Xuerun paused and shook her head: “I will go by myself.”

 

“Then I will take you there and wait for you outside.”

 

Ding Zhaowen kept the ashes by his side, but he also bought a cemetery in which two wedding rings were buried.

 

 

He will stand in front of the tomb from sunrise to sunset on this day of the year. Ding Zhaowen never speaks in front of his wife’s tomb because she can’t speak, so he just stands, stands like an eternal tree.

 

Ding Xuerun did the same. He sent a message to Lou Cheng in the middle and told him to go back first, but Lou Cheng refused and said that he would wait for him.

 

The wait is ten hours long.

 

At sunset, Ding Zhaowen took Ding Xuerun out and saw that Ding Xuerun’s classmates were sitting outside. He felt very guilty and told Ding Xuerun: “Such a good classmate, you have to cherish him.”

 

Ding Zhaowen drove up the mountain every three days to buy food and cook for the two children, fearing that they would starve.

 

Lou Cheng saw that he always came to see them. He originally wanted to do something, but now he dared not, for fear of being discovered and his father-in-law would send Ding Xuerun to college early.

 

Ding Zhaowen saw that the two of them were really studying seriously. Ding Xuerun was very attentive to make up lessons for his classmates, and he was also relieved that Ding Xuerun had made a good friend far away.

 

Only in the dead of night, Lou Cheng dared to hug Ding Xuerun and kiss him in the bed.

 

 

Ding Xuerun’s entrance banquet was on the 15th, and he took Lou Cheng down the mountain on the 14th. Ding Zhaowen’s invitation was sent to family and friends, as well as the school’s teachers. Everyone brought their relatives and children and set up seven or eight tables at the same time. A table of dishes costs 1,000 yuan. Lou Cheng went downstairs for a moment to the tobacco and alcohol supermarket, where he purchased one pack of Chinese cigarettes and two bottles of Wuliangye.

 

Because Ding Zhaowen sent invitations door to door, he also sent invitations online, explaining everything: “He didn’t take the college entrance examination in his second year of high school, but because he participated in the math competition and won the international championship on behalf of our national team, he was admitted in advance.”

 

They all know that Ding Zhaowen did not deceive people because this is all information that can be found on the Internet. His son was truly admitted, and he was truly excellent. It differs significantly from the rumored part-time job. They were once again surprised and dissatisfied. It had vanished after half a month since they learned the news, and the meal was relatively peaceful.

 

Ding Zhaowen is a teacher, and many parents of their children trusted him with their children’s education and asked how to teach their children well.

 

Lou Cheng, who had come to eat with them, heard it and said quietly, “Of course it’s an IQ problem.” Even if someone else’s child is taught by your father, they will never be able to become like you.”

 

Ding Zhaowen was so kind that he didn’t prepare a manuscript in advance, so he stood up and said: “Actually, I don’t know how to teach children.”

 

“It’s the child whose mother teaches well.”

 

Most of his relatives and friends know that his wife is deaf and dumb, and it is hard to imagine a normal person will marry such a person and bring her home. Since she is deaf and dumb, she needs to be taken care of by others, so how can she teach the child?

 

“She can’t speak, but she has a kind heart. She teaches the child to be kind and gentle with the world, and she can’t hear either, but…”

 

Lou Cheng listened for a while before he realized the problem.

 

He was very surprised, his heart hurt, and he lowered his voice: “Runrun…”

 

Many people were looking at Ding Zhaowen at this time, but many people turned to look at Ding Xuerun. Ding Xuerun bowed his head and kept a low profile while holding Lou Cheng’s hand under the table.

 

Ding Zhaowen’s speech made many people cry. Those relatives who had misunderstood him and questioned his family at this moment were embarrassed by their suspicions and wanted to get into the ground.

 

Several teachers who had previously taught Ding Xuerun attended the college promotion banquet. Ding Zhaowen also expressed gratitude to his colleagues, saying, “Here, I would especially like to thank Teacher Qiu and Teacher Zhao for their careful cultivation of my son.”

 

The college entrance banquet had come to an end. Lou Cheng noticed that Ding Xuerun was not in a good mood. He realized that Ding Xuerun did not like being in these surroundings where so many people sympathized with him, so he asked, “I have eaten too much, shall we go out for a walk and relax?”

 

Ding Xuerun responded. Two people followed one after another out of the restaurant.

 

They are far away from the city and close to the mountains, so there is a slow pace of life. There are very few cars on the road not far from the green hills and the streets are narrow and there are many alleys.

 

Lou Cheng was nervous at this time because he was afraid of saying something inappropriate, so he held back for a long time: “Your father’s literary talent is really good.”

 

“I didn’t ask you to go to the cemetery with me that day because my father was there,” Ding Xuerun said, smiling and looking at the ground.

 

“My mother is, in fact, a very patient person. She is easy to accept things that ordinary people would find unacceptable. It’s probably because God has taken something away from her, so she’s always hesitant to embarrass others.”

 

Ding Xuerun also took out his cell phone and showed Lou Cheng the old photos in his cell phone: “Don’t you always want to see it.”

 

From the motionless photos, Ding Xuerun’s mother looks a bit similar to him. A beautiful type with white skin and big black eyes.

 

Lou Cheng praised her beauty sincerely, and Ding Xuerun said again: “If she knew you, she would definitely accept you.”

 

Ding Xuerun did not avoid the subject on purpose and walked easily along the road toward his old school because Lou Cheng wanted to see the traces of his life.

 

However, before they arrived at the school, a car and several motorcycles appeared beside them and stopped next to them. The car window was rolled down, and a voice from the front passenger seat asked, “classmate, could we ask where XXXX is and how to get there?”

 

Lou Cheng keenly smelled the bad breath of these people and subconsciously pushed Ding Xuerun behind him: “Can’t you use navigation?”

 

“I don’t know that thing.”

 

Ding Xuerun stared at these people for a few seconds, then took out the phone and quickly let Lou Cheng go first in hushed tones. “Go straight, turn right at the fourth intersection, and then…” he said.

 

Lou Cheng was taken aback when he heard him let himself “go”.

 

“It’s too complicated to understand.” Two people on the motorcycle get down and forcibly held hostage Ding Xuerun. “You can just get in the car with us and lead the way! We won’t treat you badly. “

 

Lou Cheng was aware of the problem and punched the man on the left without asking. He looked down uncomfortably at the blood on the finger bones and rubbed it against the tree trunk next to him. Then swept the leg to kick the man on the right to the ground.

 

Several people did not expect that he would suddenly move his hands. For several seconds, one of them cursed and said loudly: “What are you waiting for! Come on!”

 

Lou Cheng made a defensive posture, one hand protecting Ding Xuerun in front of him, lowered his voice and asked: “Do you know them?”

 

Ding Xuerun nodded. He fixed his gaze on the closed car back seat window, which revealed a figure inside. He’s already made a quick phone call to the police: “You go first, Lou Cheng, don’t fight them. It’s me they’re looking for.”

 

Someone had already rushed towards Lou Cheng and thrown a punch at him, so he didn’t have time to respond. Lou Cheng wanted to hide not only by himself but also by dragging Ding Xuerun with him. He moved quickly. Someone on the other side throws a punch right away. Lou Cheng turned around and lowered his head, avoiding another punch. “Don’t call the police, call my dad, I have a GPS on my phone,” he said quickly.

 

There are many of them, and some of them are quite tall and strong. Lou Cheng couldn’t help but suffer a few times, and he couldn’t bring himself to push Ding Xuerun away. He’s afraid he won’t be able to protect him, so he gets in from of him to fight.

 

Ding Xuerun picked up the phone and dialed Lou Cheng’s father’s number. When he turned his back to assist Lou Cheng in blocking a fist, he was kicked in the abdomen. Ding Xuerun didn’t scream, but he turned pale. He was aware that he was in poor health, he couldn’t outrun the motorcycle, and that he didn’t want to slow down Lou Cheng.

 

“Runrun!” Lou Cheng’s heart began to race, his eyes turned red, and he turned to face the person who had just hit Ding Xuerun. He greeted him with a flood of punch. With each punch, he depleted his strength, rendering the opposing side helpless to fight back, and nosebleeds splattered. Lou Cheng’s feet stepped on the wall behind him and flew up as soon as he put his fists away. An incredible round kick hit the man’s forehead directly, kicking him far away, his face covered in blood, and he fainted instantly.

 

“Why are they bothering you?” Lou Cheng asked Ding Xuerun.

 

“I transferred to another school last year…”

 

Lou Cheng suddenly remembered that Ding Xuerun had just transferred to another school at the time, and his entire body was covered in injuries. He suddenly became aware of something, and his face darkened: “Are they the one who bullied you?”

 

Several people were taken aback. They didn’t dare to move for a few seconds, but Lou Cheng took advantage of the situation by turning sideways and screamed. Violently kicked the opponent’s abdomen and lifeline, swept his legs and exchanged side kicks, quickly defeated four people in one breath. They lay on the ground with blood on their face.

 

There were only three injured people left at this point. Lou Cheng’s eyes were ablaze with rage, and he was prepared to fight. He scared a few thugs away, and they almost knelt down and begged for mercy.

 

Lou Cheng wiped a speck of blood from the corner of his mouth, fiercely guarding Ding Xuerun behind him, and said coldly: “Is there still a group in the car? Let’s get along, shall we?”
