Chapter 467: The love and hatred of two generations
"Speaking of which, I haven't seen what's inside this thing." Gu Mian said as he reached out to the fat man's butt and pulled out a tattered file bag from under his butt.
Gu Mian rubbed the dark brown file bag in her hand.
To be honest, except for the similar shape, this thing can no longer be seen as a file bag.
Probably because it has been in the humid underground all year round, the writing on the surface has been completely blurred. Fortunately, the seal is still tightly adhered, and the contents inside are still there.
It feels thick to the touch.
"I almost got pushed under the ground trying to get this thing," Gu Mian reached out to remove the seal, "If there's a pile of useless paper inside, I'll go to the supermarket and buy some bombs and blow up the school."
The fat man looked over with the thick photo album in his hand: "But the doctor's supermarket doesn't seem to sell bombs..."
At this time, Gu Mian had already opened the seal of the file bag and reached out to touch the contents inside.
The fat man sitting opposite on the sofa watched Gu Mian pull out a piece of paper the size of a palm.
The paper was facing away from him, and the fat man could only see the blank back side.
Immediately afterwards, he saw Gu Mian looking at the front of the paper for a long time, his face changing from calm to strange, and finally turned into an expression that he could not explain.
It was as if I had seen something extraordinary.
It seems the school is safe.
What is it exactly……
The fat man stretched his neck out of curiosity to see what was in Gu Mian's hand, but before he could take a look, Gu Mian slapped the thing in his hand onto the table in front of him.
Now the fat man understood.
That's a photo... Well, the person on it looks a bit familiar...
"So why are there photos of you as a child under the ground of Songcheng College?" Gu Mian looked at Chu Changge opposite and kept smiling.
If he wanted to see photos of Chu Changge when he was a child, he didn't have to go underground to grab them. They were all in the orphanage's photo album.
In Fatty's opinion, Gu Mian's current expression is exactly the same as the "smile" expression on QQ.
"Ha...ha..." Fatty smiled awkwardly, "Maybe Xiaohong stuffed it in secretly when we weren't paying attention just now, don't you think so Xiaohong?"
As he spoke, he looked towards the corner.
I saw the little red head standing in the corner shaking like a rattle.
At this time, he saw Gu Mian pull out another photo from the file bag. Gu Mian stared at the photo for a long time, and the expression on his face changed from weird to as if he had eaten shit.
Is it possible that there are still photos of me when I was a child? Just when the fat man sneaked up to Gu Mian and looked sideways, Gu Mian handed the photo to him: "There is also a photo of your dad."
Hearing this, the fat man felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and stretched out his trembling hand to take the photo from Gu Mian's hand.
He looked down and saw a familiar face on the faded photo. He was smiling cheerfully at the camera.
The man in the photo was still very young at that time, and looked sunnier than the mature man in his memory. He looked handsome and frivolous.
But these are not the most important.
The fat man's hands were shaking like a sieve. He held the photo and shook it for about three minutes before stiffly raising his head: "How do you know..."
"Your dad is my class teacher," Gu Mian said matter-of-factly, "otherwise, why do you think I would dare to bring a fat man into my home when we first met?"
When she said this, Gu Mian looked at Fatty with an almost surprised expression: "Do you think you hid it well?"
The fat man twitched the corner of his mouth: "Yes, I thought I hid it damn well..."
Wang Shenxing was Gu Mian's math teacher and class teacher when she was sixteen. By coincidence, Gu Mian's class had a spring outing when she was sixteen, and he went.
At that time, Gu Mian had not participated in such activities for many years. In the past, every time when his classmates went on an outing, he would lie by the window and watch other people lining up to leave the school. The queue of students in the entire school was very long.
They all walked for more than half an hour before they all left. Gu Mian lay down by the window and watched for more than half an hour.
Then he sat alone in the classroom and waited for people to come back. He waited from early morning until noon, and then from noon until it got completely dark. It wasn't until the lights were turned on in the classroom that he saw people returning to school one after another.
The students who came back were all limping. I heard that they walked more than a hundred miles. The students who came back cried and said they would never participate in such an activity again.
But the next time they went out happily, only Gu Mian stayed in the empty school.
When she was sixteen, Gu Mian changed her class teacher to a teacher named Wang.
"It'll be fine." - He remembered what his math teacher told him at the time, and he still remembered his inner excitement and joy at that time.
Due to Gu Mian's own reasons, previous teachers were not willing to let him participate in group activities, and Gu Mian would never ask for it.
But the new teacher is different.
He has always been very kind to Gu Mian, and even made Gu Mian feel that he was her long-lost biological father.
But he had his own children. Gu Mian often saw a picture of a cute little fat man on his desk. He smiled and told Gu Mian that that was his son, named Wang Xianzhi.
Just as the teacher said, nothing happened to Gu Mian that time, it was someone else who did.
When she was sixteen years old, Gu Mian ran five kilometers along a mountain road in the middle of the night against her dying math teacher before running out, but in the end it was too late.
By the time he got to the hospital, he had run out of breath and was dead.
"Your dad was very good to me when he was alive," Gu Mian held her chin in her hands as she recalled the past, "If it weren't for me, he might... What are you doing?"
At this time, the fat man's eyes were red, and he was wiping his nose with the corner of Gu Mian's white coat.
Gu Mian patted his shoulder: "Stop crying, Wang Xizhi."
"My name is Wang Xianzhi!"
I didn't expect that this fat guy is quite careless in appearance, but his name is very artistic. If this name is used in a romance, he might be able to become a male protagonist.
Gu Mian pushed the fat man's head aside in disgust: "I didn't expect you to look anything like your father."
The fat man pinched the corner of Gu Mian's clothes and wiped his nose: "Actually, my father is not my biological father. He took me away from the orphanage when I was five years old..."
As he spoke, he looked at the photo in his hand: "Ever since I was a child, I felt that he was different from others. When he was very young, he told me the passwords of all his bankbooks, as if he would die at any time...
Later, he told me that there was something important that he would tell me when I was older...
"But year by year, I have grown a lot, and in the end he didn't tell me that important thing when I was about to graduate, as if he had decided not to tell me...
"But I was still waiting, waiting and waiting for him to die."
When she said this, there was a big ball of snot on Gu Mian's clothes.
Gu Mian: "..."
"Later, when I was sorting out my dad's belongings, I discovered that he had been secretly observing someone in the past few years... I always felt that this was what he wanted to tell me but didn't tell me..."
"That person is me?" Gu Mian probed.
"It's you," the fat man sniffed, "but I didn't know you were his student at that time. I foolishly searched for you for three years before I found you. Three years ago, I found you in a bank. It turns out
I wanted to have a relationship with you directly, but before I could get to you, two armed robbers came outside. I was so scared that I ran away immediately... The second time I saw you was in an Internet cafe, but still
Before I could go up to you to start a relationship, I saw a kid next to you suffering from electric shock and epilepsy due to a power leak on his computer. I was so scared that I ran away again... After that, I didn’t dare to start a relationship with you."
Gu Mian could roughly guess what happened next.
This peeping tom has been spying on me for three more years. If Fatty's car hadn't broken down on New Year's Day this year, he might still be following him and peeping now.
Well, he might have died a long time ago.
After all, peeping at an event can still be fatal.
There was a thick pile of files in the file bag. Chu Changge sat across from him and said nothing. Gu Mian reached out to touch the things in the file bag again.
This time he touched another photo.
This time it's his own...
Gu Mian silently looked at the photo in her hand. This was a photo of him as an adult. It looked like he was about the same age as he is now.
But the person in the photo didn't look like him in terms of dressing style or behavior, and Gu Mian was very sure that she had never taken this photo.
At this time, the fat man also leaned over and stared at the photo in Gu Mian's hand.
I saw Gu Mian's face in the photo, but the person in it was gloomy and listless, as if he was not interested in anything.
The fat man stretched his neck: "Doctor, is this a photo of you? It doesn't look like me."
"No," Gu Mian denied, "I never took this photo."
And it seems that the underground has obviously been sealed for many years, so the photo must have been put there many years ago, when Gu Mian was only a teenager, and it is different from this photo.
At this time, Fatty remembered the previous "Gu Mian's twin brother theory", but now the twin brother theory is no longer applicable. The person in the photo was already in his twenties many years ago, which is different from Gu Mian's age.
He stared at the photo and frowned: "Maybe it's a relative of yours, brother? It could also be a photo of your father when he was young..."
But it's rare to see them look exactly the same.
The photo has faded so badly that it is difficult to tell when it was taken.
It is also pitch black behind the characters, and it is impossible to infer the era based on the background.
There are only these three photos in the portfolio.
What's left are a dozen pages with consecutive page numbers, which look like they were torn from a certain book.
But this is not the most important thing right now.
Gu Mian felt a headache and pinched her forehead a few times: "I don't know why there are photos of me in that damn place."
As he spoke, he took away his photo and stared at the two remaining photos on the table: "Do you know why these two photos appear in the activity underground? Don't tell me you don't know."
The fat man looked like he was about to cry: "Doctor, I really don't know."
