"..."
"..."
Father Lin was really embarrassed.
The corners of his mouth kept twitching, and he was so angry that he couldn't express himself.
After staying there for a few seconds,
Mother Lin couldn't help it anymore.
Her expression had softened a lot, but she still maintained her toughness and arrogance as she said, "Okay, the apology is quite sincere, so let's leave it as such... But I tell you, the compensation must not be less!"
Father Zhou nodded: "Of course, we will fully bear our responsibilities..."
At this time, Father Lin finally sighed dullly and said, "In this case, we don't have any problems."
He scanned the audience and nodded one by one, "Thank you, leaders."
Finally, his eyes fell on Su Zhiyun, who was standing there for a long time, and he looked at her deeply.
"And this...Professor Su, thank you for your mediation."
Then he took Mother Lin's hand and said, "Let's go."
The two turned around and went out.
Seeing that there was no one in the corridor, Mother Lin took two quick steps with her high heels, got close to Father Lin's ear, and whispered: "Husband, since they are willing to compensate, how about we do something with A Rui's medical record? If it is a minor injury, that Zhou Qi No matter how meritorious you are, you must keep a record of the case, otherwise it will be too unjustifiable..."
Father Lin glanced at her and shook his head coldly: "Don't think about it. I don't want to waste any energy on this matter."
Mother Lin was stunned: "Why! You don't care about this little money, you always want to fight for your son, right?"
"Fighting?" Father Lin stopped and said calmly: "Just because your good-for-nothing son is so disappointing, I don't want to waste my time..."
He looked at Mother Lin: "The whole thing happened because of that girl. Just because of her, Lin Rui has been arguing with a child from an ordinary family for so long, and the trouble has reached this point... It's just a shame on my face. What a shame! Even when he came out of the hospital without permission, it was because he vaguely heard the girl slandering him when he fainted. He was so angry that he wanted to argue when he woke up. When I rushed to the hospital, he had already ran back by himself. Got to school..."
Mother Lin was unhappy: "What's wrong with a girl? You didn't say anything when Ari had those girlfriends, and now you're like this just because you chased that girl and didn't catch up with you? I think you're just in a bad mood, and That’s why I say this because I can’t solve this matter…”
"Shut up." Father Lin squinted his eyes and spat out two cold words.
Mother Lin's face turned pale, and she still had a lot of unreasonable things to say, but she couldn't say them anymore.
Because she knew that Father Lin was really angry when he acted like this...
Finally, her voice trembled: "What on earth is going on..."
Father Lin shook his head: "Do you know who that girl is? Her surname is Li, and there is only one surnamed Li in Zhonghai. We can't afford to offend..."
Mother Lin had cold sweat streaming down her forehead: "Maybe it's a coincidence? They happen to have the same surname?"
Father Lin shook his head again, looking at her with a somewhat unclear meaning: "That Zhou Qi's family lives in Taoyang, and that girl has an unusual relationship with their family... and as far as I know, that surname is Li's is also from Taoyang..."
The corridor was empty and deserted. As Father Lin spoke, Mother Lin's face became paler and paler.
Squeak...
at this time,
The sound of opening the door sounded, and the two of them subconsciously followed the sound.
It was Su Zhiyun who walked out of the reception room. When she turned around, she saw the two of them, nodded lightly, and then left with serious steps.
"..."
Father Lin didn't say anything and left directly, while Mother Lin stayed where she was, hesitated for a few seconds, gritted her teeth and followed...
…
Main building, lobby on the first floor.
The sun was setting in the west, and the light coming from the outside glowed with an orange color, dyeing the entire hall golden.
Many students and teachers came and went, some talking briskly, and some with serious faces.
but,
Their eyes are always involuntarily attracted to the two girls sitting in the corner rest area, because these two girls are so beautiful...
It was Li Qing and Zhou Xin.
By this time, they had completely calmed down, so they returned to the lobby of the main building to wait and take the opportunity to talk about some serious matters.
"...So, your brother said that the end of the world is coming? He gave a lot of well-founded evidence, and also said that he might never see him again? And everyone in your family believed it?"
Li Qing asked with a slight frown on her beautiful eyebrows.
Zhou Xin, who was sitting opposite her across a small round table, nodded with a helpless face: "Yes, he was very serious about what he said. We have to believe it. Alas, but now, how can there be any doomsday? My brother must be Who was deceived... By the way, Sister Li Qing, didn't my brother send it to you? He likes you so much, so he should have told you about it..."
"Well, it seems that you told me, I didn't pay much attention..." Li Qing looked away for a moment and replied in a vague tone.
What's going on, you feel a little unhappy?
He didn't even mention such a big thing to himself!
He obviously offended Lin Rui because of his harsh attack, but he didn't even give an explanation. Until now, he hasn't even sent a message back to him...
Are you still angry?
Are you angry that you rejected his confession?
So stingy! I haven't even blamed you for being impulsive...
And just when she was thinking wildly, Zhou Xin, who was sitting opposite him, sighed again: "Sure enough, if my brother forgets, no one will forget you... But luckily you didn't run away with him, otherwise it would have been embarrassing. , Alas, I don’t know how he is doing now. Although Professor Su said that he is fine, I am still very worried about him..."
Li Qing originally wanted to say something, but seeing her cute look, his mind was completely occupied by tenderness. He couldn't help but softly comforted: "Don't worry, Xin'er, you can always trust Professor Su. She said it's okay." , it’s just that it’s really okay…”
"..." Zhou Xin nodded hesitantly, her face becoming a little brighter, "That's good..."
In fact, she was still worried, but seeing Li Qing conscientiously consoling herself, she couldn't express her negative emotions anymore.
Furthermore... In fact, the little girl didn't realize it herself. Due to various reasons, she had already become convinced of the "very powerful" Professor Su. The powerful impression brought about by the brief contact before, plus Later, Li Qing's description caused Professor Su to be very, very, very high in her heart, so high that... well, so high that he could almost catch up with her brother.
Therefore, when she heard Li Qing say this, the tension and worry in her heart did fade a lot.
"call."
Zhou Xin let out a breath and collected her emotions.
He looked around, then looked out the window, and finally his eyes fell on Li Qing's face.
Then, he suddenly blinked his eyes and said softly and cutely: "Sister Li Qing, you are so kind~"
Li Qing blushed: "What, what's wrong? What's wrong with me..."
"You are good at everything, but it's a pity..." Zhou Xin held her face, leaned forward, and said with a little anger: "It's all because my brother is ignorant and doesn't know how to think about you... I still remember that you He said he didn't want to fall in love before graduating from college, but he just confessed to you at this time. Isn't he asking for trouble! He actually looks very depressed and sad... Hey, I feel so angry just talking about it, why is he? So stupid!"
Li Qing immediately couldn't laugh or cry when she heard this. She actually wanted to explain that she didn't blame your brother.
Because the situation was indeed a bit special when she confessed her love, and Zhou Qi was forced to do nothing... But she knew that the girl in front of her was not really saying that Zhou Qi was stupid...
So she could only say helplessly: "You, you were so worried just now, but now you are complaining..."
"Humph, I should complain. He did these stupid things and made me worry for so long..." Zhou Xin pouted slightly, looking angry, but her big black eyes kept blinking. : "However, Sister Li Qing, you must still like my brother, right? He is just a fool. Don't blame him. I will go back and tell him that he will wait until he graduates from college to confess to you..."
Li Qing's face turned red again when he heard this.
I secretly retorted in my heart.
Who wants to promise him...
I don't like that bad guy...
But he hesitated and said: "Okay, okay..."
Zhou Xin couldn't help laughing, her eyes curved into a bridge, and the corners of her small mouth raised as she was about to say something,
at this time,
She suddenly saw Li Qing's face change.
Zhou Xin followed Li Qing's gaze and found that a couple had just walked out of the corridor. The man's face was gloomy, and the woman's face was sad...
It's Lin Rui's parents!
Suddenly, Zhou Xin's face became tense.
It was only then that the regret and self-blame for having just hit someone came to her heart. For a moment, timidity and fear appeared in her dark eyes.
Li Qing noticed. She glanced at Zhou Xin, then at Lin Rui's parents, her beautiful face suddenly turned serious.
Just when the couple also looked over, she stood up and walked towards them.
Pingping's fairy-like white dress swayed, her long black hair danced, and her graceful figure like an elf attracted the attention of many people.
Li Qing walked up to the two of them and said in a condensed voice:
"Let me tell you straight... Just now, your son got entangled with me again and even touched me in public, so I beat him again. Maybe now He was sent to the hospital again... You can pay compensation or whatever, but now I just want to ask one thing, can you take care of your son and prevent him from embarrassing himself!?"
Swish——
The hall suddenly became much quieter.
Many people were surprised.
Because although Li Qing looks more mature than ordinary college students, and her elegant and graceful appearance naturally carries a tranquil temperament, no matter what, she is facing two adults who are unusual in their clothes. people……
Their hearts couldn't help but twitch for Li Qing.
However, just when everyone thought something was about to break out.
Father Lin spoke in a low tone: "You're right, Miss Li, this useless son has really troubled me. It's his fault for causing trouble to you. There's no need to compensate. Let him learn a lesson." You should be beaten... Well, your father is Li Kong. I know him and respect him very much. He is a very powerful man. When I have time, I will bring Lin Rui to visit and apologize..."
After saying that, he pulled Mother Lin away who looked very ugly.
"..."
The onlookers were talking a lot.
Li Qing breathed a sigh of relief, returned to Zhou Xin, and whispered: "It's okay, Xin'er... Now that they are out, the matter should be over. Let's go and take a look..."
Zhou Xin nodded, but couldn't help but look in the direction Lin Rui's parents left, her eyes full of worry.
"Sister Li Qing, I'm sorry, I caused you trouble..."
She said in a small voice.
"Okay..." Li Qing held her arm and said with a smile: "It's okay, let's go find our uncle and aunt."
"Uh-huh……"
The two beauties left in the eyes of everyone with admiration and envy.
The whole hall suddenly lost a scene.
…
However,
The two of them did not walk into the reception room to witness anything as expected.
But as soon as they came to the corridor, they met a group of people who had come out of the reception room. Among them, Zhou Qi's parents looked much better, and they were still talking politely to several school leaders.
And Guan Xiao's cute baby face is much more relaxed than before, and there is even a hint of... pride?
Li Qing and Zhou Xin looked at each other for a moment.
But they were sensible and didn't ask any more questions. They just silently followed and joined the procession.
A group of people walked out of the main building all the way under the gaze of many students and teachers, and then went to the school's most upscale Minghu Restaurant for a meal.
During this period, several school leaders even had to arrange accommodation for the three members of the Zhou family.
Of course, it was rejected.
All three members of the Zhou family said that since Zhou Qi wouldn't be back for a while, they should go home first and not bother the school here...
The dean of the department smiled and said anything.
...Unknowingly, two hours passed.
When the sun was about to set, everything was quiet, and a group of people came to the parking lot.
Li Qing followed Guan Xiao and quietly looked at Zhou Qi's parents who were waving goodbye to several school leaders.
Until now, she didn't know exactly what these people talked about in the reception room, or what happened after Professor Su passed by.
I only know that Zhou Qi seemed to have done something extraordinary, which resulted in his punishment being exempted, and a commendation meeting was even held...
The attitude of those leaders is also completely different from before. There is no trace of rigidity on their faces, nor the "do things by the rules" attitude. They may be a little serious and formal, but they are more of goodwill.
This seems to be enough...
Soon, the polite farewells were completed, and then Zhou's father and mother turned to Guan Xiao and said: "Teacher Guan, since Professor Su is busy, we will not disturb her. You must thank her for us..."
Guan Xiao nodded and said yes.
Li Qing just watched like this until they finished speaking, then he took a step forward and said politely: "Goodbye, uncle and aunt, please be safe on the road..."
The couple laughed and said repeatedly: "Okay, when Xiaoqing returns to Taoyang, don't forget to come to our house as a guest..."
As he said that, they also got in the car.
"Sister Li Qing, I'm leaving then..." Zhou Xin obediently followed her into the car and sat in the back seat, waving her head through the open window.
Li Qing stood beside the car and smiled and nodded: "Yeah, goodbye Xin'er!"
"Buzz..."
The sound of the engine sounded, and the car left under the gaze of everyone.
——
The red clouds burned out on the horizon, and the sky gradually dimmed.
The street lights came on one by one.
On the broad road,
Father Zhou drove the car calmly.
In front of you, it is divided into two colors:
One is the traffic flowing in the same direction ahead, which is densely packed in red.
The other is the traffic flowing in the opposite direction in the next lane, with weak warm lights one after another converging into a sea of stars.
At this time, it had been more than half an hour since we came out of Zhonghai University. The car kept moving along with the tide of the evening rush hour and was finally leaving the city, but the car was always quiet.
Finally, when the car stopped again,
Zhou's father casually glanced at the rearview mirror and found that Zhou Xin had fallen asleep leaning in the back seat.
Then he sighed softly and said: "This brat...has made a big splash this time."
Mother Zhou rolled her eyes at him when she heard this, and her voice was gentle and angry: "What kind of limelight is this? I'm worried to death."
"Haha..." Father Zhou smiled helplessly.
The car fell silent again.
But Zhou's mother didn't want to be silent anymore. When the car started again, she started talking again: "Do you think what Professor Su said is true or false? I think it's too exaggerated. Xiaoqi is a liberal arts major. I don’t know much about computer technology, so how do I get the ability to go to external networks and see foreign secrets? But I see that the leaders seem to believe it, so I’m embarrassed to ask..."
Zhou's father shook his head when he heard this: "I don't know, but the Public Security Bureau didn't say it clearly, so it's possible...have you forgotten? When we called the Public Security Bureau later, they said that there was no accurate conclusion on this matter yet. First, Let’s not rush, there are some things that are inconvenient to disclose...then it may be true.”
"Oh, but I don't want Zhou Qi to be in the limelight at all," Zhou's mother said with some worry: "You have been saying it for so long, and there is no news about him at all. I heard from Professor Su that he might be sent to some secret base in the capital. Go, why are you going, he is a child..."
"..." Father Zhou did not answer, but nodded in approval.
at this time,
A lazy and soft voice came from behind the car: "Don't worry... You can always trust Professor Su..."
"??"
The couple was stunned for a moment, one looked in the rearview mirror and the other looked back.
"Xin'er, are you awake?"
"Where did you learn this from?"
Listening to her parents' inquiries, Zhou Xin rubbed her slightly confused eyes and said, "Sister Li Qing told me. She said that Professor Su is the most powerful professor at Zhonghai University. He can do everything well. There is no other classmate or teacher." I don’t admire her...so you can always trust her."
"Yeah, that's really awesome."
Listening to their daughter's serious and cute words, the couple both laughed.
But when I smiled, I felt really relaxed.
Although their impression of Su Zhiyun only lasted a few minutes in the reception room, their smooth and powerful ability to control the field was indeed impressive.
As Zhou Xin said, she...is really a very powerful professor.
Thinking like this, Zhou's mother got excited and started to explain to her daughter what happened after Professor Su went to the reception room.
Zhou Xin didn't hear anything at first, but then the more she listened, the brighter her eyes became. She even couldn't help but exclaimed. Now she said that her brother was amazing, and then she said that Professor Su was amazing. After hearing this, stars almost appeared in her eyes.
The atmosphere in the car suddenly became warm and joyful.
In this way, as if to cater to the mood of the family of three, the road actually became smoother. The traffic was blocked for more than half an hour, and then it never stopped again. It took only a few minutes to drive out of the city and onto the highway. …
At this moment, Zhou Xin suddenly raised a question.
"But...since it's not the end of the world, rebirth, and my brother only knows the secrets of foreign countries through the Internet...then how did he know those things in our family?"
…
