Chapter 48 The villain

Although Zhang Ting's matter had been clarified, it did not leave too many traces in Mu Qing's heart.After all, the past is really irrelevant, the most important thing is always the person in front of you.

It's a pity that it's already June, and the final exam of Chaohai University is approaching. Mu Qing not only has to work with the teachers to write questions for the final exam, but also takes time to manage the class that is temporarily assigned to him. The leisure time is getting more and more few.

Recently, Yu Yifeng has to help his grandmother deal with the company's affairs, and the dragon never sees the end, and has no time to come to Mu Qing's office to harass him, and as for the private meeting, there is no chance .

So occasionally when passing by in the corridor, the eyes that look at each other while smiling are all very precious.

Mu Qing didn't have much emotion about this change in the frequency of getting along, after all, a degree of relaxation is the long-term solution; but when he saw Zhang Ting waiting at the door of the teaching building after he got off work on Friday, he suddenly began to regret, why did Yu Yifeng Not at school anymore.

He paused and subconsciously wanted to go out through another door, but Zhang Ting, who had been paying attention to the door, had already caught his figure and blurted out his name: "Mu Qing!"

Mu Qing paused and sighed helplessly. When he turned around, he had a polite smile on his face, which was perfunctory and polite: "Hi, I'm Mu Qing. May I ask who you are?"

Zhang Ting paused, and smiled bitterly: "You are still the same as before, and you refuse to give any extra attention to others." He stretched out his hand to Mu Qing, "I am Zhang Ting, and I was in the city last Saturday. You bumped into me at the entrance of the restaurant near the art gallery, do you still remember it?"

Mu Qing really wanted to say that he had no memory, but after all, it had only been less than a week, so it was a bit false to insist that he didn't remember.He had no choice but to show a slightly dazed expression: "Ah, so you are that gentleman. If you come to the Institute of Foreign Languages ​​to do business, the administrative department has already closed, so you can come back tomorrow."

The tactful refusal in his words was very obvious, but Zhang Ting still stood in front of him as if he didn't understand: "I'm not here to do business, I'm here to find you."

"Me?" Although Mu Qing vaguely guessed, when he actually said it, he was somewhat surprised, "If I remember correctly, I was not familiar with Mr. Zhang before, did you find the wrong person?"

"I'm not wrong." Zhang Ting stopped in front of him, "Although you can't remember some things for a while, I still remember them."

As Zhang Ting said, he took out a photo from his pocket and put it in front of Mu Qing: "This is the class photo we took when we graduated from the second semester of high school."

He didn't notice Mu Qing's perfunctory at all, and pointed out the person in the photo to Mu Qing seriously: "This is you, this is me. You were sitting in the middle of the fourth row, and I was sitting in front of you... ..”

Mu Qing saw that he had no intention of stopping at all, glanced at the empty corridor, and suddenly felt a little lucky.

Fortunately, it was getting late now, and there was no study room in the teaching building dedicated to the outer courtyard. Otherwise, people who came and went would feel that the scene was a bit outrageous when they saw themselves being pointed at for recognition.

"...So, I'm your sophomore classmate." Zhang Ting put away the photo and looked at Mu Qing earnestly, "Do you remember?"

"Ah, I seem to have a little impression." Seeing that he came prepared, Mu Qing couldn't help but insist that he didn't remember, so he continued to maintain a perfunctory smile.

Seeing him admitting, Zhang Ting suddenly showed some apprehension on his face.He put the photo back into his pocket again, clenched his fists nervously and then relaxed, and after repeating several times, he mustered up the courage to say: "I, I came to you to apologize."

"apologize?"

What Gong Shichen said to himself earlier flashed through Mu Qing's mind, and a bad premonition suddenly arose in his heart: This person will not drag him here to relive the high school, right?

Zhang Ting nodded: "Well, it happened in the sophomore year of high school. I kept it in my heart for a long time. At that time..."

"Student Zhang." Mu Qing didn't intend to continue spending time with him here, so he said directly, "I don't remember any conflicts with you before, so you don't have to apologize to me. If you are really sorry, don't want an explanation , then I can tell you now that I forgive you."

He looked at Zhang Ting and smiled: "Let's let the past go, you don't have to worry too much about it."

After Mu Qing finished speaking, he nodded politely to Zhang Ting, bypassed him and walked down the steps of the teaching building.However, the sound of footsteps immediately told Mu Qing that Zhang Ting had followed.

"Is there anything else?" Mu Qing stopped and looked back at the person who was chasing him.

Zhang Ting looked at him stubbornly: "I did this wrong back then, and I have to explain it clearly to you."

It seems that you can't leave until you finish listening.Mu Qing felt a little helpless, sighed and said, "Okay, tell me."

Zhang Ting took a deep breath and said: "In the second year of high school, someone put an anonymous love letter on your desk, and you put it on my desk because you wanted to pack up. At that time, the reason why I asked you was not Because I heard others say that you put the letter."

With a trembling voice, he said, "Because, I hope you gave it to me."

Admiration in childhood has always been hazy, and the concealment of gender makes this emotion a bit more taboo.

He looked at the beautiful handwriting on the letter paper that obviously did not belong to Mu Qing, but he still deceived himself and fabricated the origin of the letter, pretending to be distressed, but in fact with a hint of showing off, he told the lie to his brother.

The elder brother's anger was beyond Zhang Ting's expectation, but he kept silent and did not defend himself with some secret self-pity.

Why do you make me care so much, but you don't have any impression of me?If you are really blocked by the students in the third year of high school, I will stand up and protect you at the right time, and you will definitely be grateful to me.

So you can remember me.

Zhang Ting was complacent about this, thinking he had calculated everything, but after school, the teacher suddenly called him to the office.

He didn't have the courage to say no to the teacher, so he could only listen anxiously, praying that his brother would not act so quickly.When the difficult conversation was over, he immediately ran out of the school, but when he arrived, he only saw people lying on the ground, and Mu Qing standing in the crowd with blood dripping from his fingertips.

What happened later was out of his control.

"So," Zhang Ting looked at Mu Qing with guilt in his eyes, "This incident was all caused by me. I didn't have the courage at the time, so I want to formally apologize to you now. I'm sorry."

Mu Qing looked at the remorse that was almost overflowing on his face, and suddenly wanted to laugh: "The purpose of telling me this is not to apologize, is it?"

He looked at Zhang Ting and said lightly, "You just want to forcefully share this memory with your uneasiness with me."

Zhang Ting smiled wryly: "You are right if you say that."

"This incident is all my fault, so it has tortured me for so many years, and I have missed you for so many years. At first I thought of you because of guilt, but after thinking about it for a long time, this feeling deteriorated and became- —”

"Zhang Ting." Mu Qing interrupted him suddenly, "It's better not to say what is inappropriate, otherwise you will not only fail to achieve your goal, but will also cause a burden to others."

"I'm sorry." Zhang Ting smiled self-deprecatingly, "It's my wishful thinking."

Seeing that he was no longer entangled, Mu Qing nodded and was about to leave, but Zhang Ting stopped him again: "Mu Qing! Can I ask you one last question?"

"You ask."

Looking at his estranged face, Zhang Ting said slowly: "At that time, you chatted with other classmates and said that I was the most stable boy in the class, and I would be very attractive to girls in the future. If you were a girl, you might also consider me; You even asked me with a smile, is it because I have a crush on you that I always ask you questions...Mu Qing, when you said these words, what were you thinking?"

He took a deep breath: "Can I understand that——you liked me a little at that time?"

Zhang Ting stared at Mu Qing closely, hoping to catch some clues about the past from his face, but Mu Qing's mood did not fluctuate at all, and even smiled slightly when he met his gaze.

"If my words and deeds in the past have caused you trouble, then I solemnly apologize to you now." Mu Qing looked at Zhang Ting and said, "But I mentioned you at that time only because the teacher told me that you were too introverted, and I hope to let you I took you to play together, so I chose the simplest and most direct way when everyone was joking."

"So, when you mentioned me and smiled at me, it turned out that it was just—"

"It's a joke." Mu Qing looked at him and said calmly, "If you find it hard to accept, or if you feel that you are not reconciled to being tricked, then you just treat me as a villain."

"Is that really the case?" It turned out that the sweetness and sourness that surged in my heart when I was young, and the bitterness that surged in my heart now have nothing to do with others, but my own wishful thinking.

Zhang Ting looked at Mu Qing, trying to force a smile, but the corners of his lips could only curl into a forced arc: "Mu Qing, you are not a villain, I am. It was my selfishness and cowardice that ruined your original good life."

He was sincere, but Mu Qing's expression remained indifferent: "Have you finished speaking? After finishing speaking, I have one last thing to tell you."

"Zhang Ting, I have never liked you. Not in the past, not now, and of course not in the future. I mean, do you understand?"

The night wind passes through the trees on campus, playing the prelude to summer evening.

Mu Qing walked in the brightly lit campus, but suddenly felt a little lonely.He took out his mobile phone like a ghost, hovered his fingers on the screen for a moment, and dialed the familiar number for the first time.

The phone rang twice and was quickly connected.

A familiar voice came through the phone, with the usual considerateness and gentleness: "What's wrong?"

Mu Qing was silent for a moment, then suddenly sighed softly: "Yu Yifeng."

"Ok?"

"I......"

The person on the other end of the phone didn't rush, so the voice came out quietly: "I miss you."
