67. Night talk(1/2)
"So, what about the new school and environment?" Liang Jinmin asked.
Yu Hao knew what this meant. With Liang Jinmin's care, he took the college entrance examination again. As long as he passed the admission score line, with Liang Jinmin's help, the college will recruit him, and the subsequent major relocation will be smooth. More importantly, after studying, he will be able to obtain a university diploma!
"I asked Zhou Sheng." Liang Jinmin said, "Zhou Sheng also gave me an answer, but he said he was unwilling to influence your choice, so I want to hear your opinion first."
Yu Hao thought to himself no wonder Zhou Sheng suddenly said that today.
"I'll look at Zhou Sheng." Yu Hao only took a short time to think about it, and then said, "If he wants to drop out of school and retake the exam, it's okay for me to change places. But... I think that studying in this school does not mean that there is no way out in the future. If you study well, I can also take the postgraduate entrance examination in a school."
Yu Hao has not yet formed a clear understanding of his future, future, and life ideals, but suddenly, all of this has become clear.
"It's not that I don't have any opinions," Yu Hao smiled, "I just don't know how to express some things. My thoughts are very similar to Zhou Sheng most of the time, but he can say it more clearly. After we graduate, if we have the chance and want to apply for your graduate student, if you get the score, you will accept me, right?"
Liang Jinmin smiled and said, "I understand. I have nothing to thank you. I just want to do my best to protect two children who will be revenge for sin in order to protect me."
"No." Yu Hao suddenly said, "You don't understand, Teacher Liang."
Liang Jinmin was stunned.
Yu Hao said: "Is this over? You plan to break the past with one knife, right? You will stay away from him for the rest of your life, so in this way, you will forget the past without being hurt again?"
Liang Jinmin stared at Yu Hao in a daze.
Yu Hao knew why deep down - Liang Jinmin had not defeated the metal monster entrenched in the city in his dream until now.
"There must be some way." Yu Hao thought for a while and said, "I think all this may not be over..." His brows frowned and shook his head. He always felt that some details were ignored by him, and this detail might turn around the current predicament. If he was really helpless, it would be fine. When he was facing giving up everything, he was not unable to accept reality.
But he had a premonition that things would turn around.
It would be great if I was as smart as Zhou Sheng... Yu Hao had discussed this case with Zhou Sheng many times, and the answers were almost the same every time.
While talking, the waiter opened the door and Chen Yekai came in.
"Sorry, I'm late." Chen Yekai said with a smile, "I'm almost done eating? I'm starving to death, let me eat something first."
Liang Jinmin's expression returned, as if he had been thinking about Yu Hao's words. Yu Hao gave Chen Yekai the menu and asked him to order something. Chen Yekai was wearing the long-lost navy shirt and black casual shorts today, and had a pleasant smell of cologne, mixed with the warmth of his summer body, revealing the complete sexy of the intellectuals.
"What are you talking about?" Chen Yekai ordered sushi and said, "This sea urchin is good, Yu Hao, please try it."
"Talking." Yu Hao said, "Nothing."
Liang Jinmin said: "Nicky, Yu Hao doesn't want to go to your alma mater to re-study his undergraduate degree."
"I guessed it." Chen Yekai swallowed the sushi hard, drank tea, and said, "I actually don't want to go back to my alma mater. I also decided to stay here, Teacher Liang."
"Ah?" Yu Hao said, "No, you must be as you please!"
Chen Yekai said: "Staying here does not mean staying in the college. There is also a book in Ying City, which is just right for review and preparation. Who wants to take the graduate school in this college?" As he said that, he added tea to Yu Hao and blinked in a slight manner.
"Then..." Liang Jinmin seemed a little depressed and had to nod.
"Do you want to pack Fu Liqun and Zhou Sheng?" Chen Yekai asked.
Yu Hao saw that the sushi was all 128 yuan, so he hurriedly said, "No, Zhou Sheng must have eaten it. Just bring some hand-catch cakes to Fu Liqun..."
"Nicky." Liang Jinmin suddenly spoke.
"Yes." Chen Yekai continued to flip through the menu, but didn't look at Liang Jinmin, and said, "I'll do some, I'll treat you today." He said and asked to pay.
Yu Hao: "?"
After Liang Jinmin finished speaking, he was silent again, and the three of them were speechless for a moment. After the waiter came over, Chen Yekai asked to pack it, and smiled and lowered his head to send a message to Zhou Sheng.
"Yu Hao, you..." Chen Yekai's mouth slightly raised.
"What's wrong, Teacher Chen?" Yu Hao said uneasy.
"Stop calling me Teacher Chen anymore." Chen Yekai said, "I have resigned long ago. Just call me whatever I want. In short, I don't want to hear the title of Teacher, so I'm tired."
Yu Hao laughed and suddenly noticed that Liang Jinmin was always sitting quietly, as if tears were rolling in her eyes.
After the packaged food was delivered, Chen Yekai said, "Let's go and send you back."
Chen Yekai went to drive, Yu Hao and Liang Jinmin stood under the street lights. At night, the office buildings were all on, standing like crystals in the dark night.
"You are right, Yu Hao." Liang Jinmin said, "I don't understand."
Yu Hao turned his head and looked into Liang Jinmin's eyes.
"When I was unconscious, I saw an archangel with white wings and a black suit, and a warrior in armor." Liang Jinmin looked at the busy road and said in a daze, "The angel is what you look like, another warrior, wearing a covered helmet. You carry the lamp and guide me in the darkness... Maybe this is also some kind of will."
Chen Yekai drove, stopped by the side of the road, and said, "I'll pick up Zhou Sheng later? He's not far from here."
Yu Hao was about to get into the car, but Liang Jinmin said, "Wait, Yu Hao, Nicky, are you willing to go to my house for a drink?"
Yu Hao looked at Chen Yekai, and Chen Yekai was also a little confused, not sure why Liang Jinmin made this invitation.
"Like it before." Liang Jinmin said.
"I can, look at Yu Hao." Chen Yekai said, "his answer must be Zhou Sheng, I will follow him and talk about it."
Yu Hao said: "You know me so well."
Yu Hao got into the car, Chen Yekai drove, turned two intersections, and picked up Zhou Sheng in front of a hotel. Zhou Sheng carried a one-shoulder sports bag. He just attended the reception in the hotel. After hearing this, he said, "Okay, Teacher Liang, this is my first meeting, please take care of me."
Liang Jinmin nodded at him with a smile. After Chen Yekai drove to the college, he walked through the road without street lights. The bright moon in the mountains appeared, and silver light spread across the earth.
This is a small villa with a terraced courtyard that the college lived for Lin Xun. It is a mountain across from the location of the college and is far away.
The room was very spacious and someone had cleaned it. Liang Jinmin turned on the floor lamp, and the room was warm and yellow.
"What to drink?" Liang Jinmin said, "Whiskey? Nicky will stop driving later, and ask for an online car-hailing trip back."
Zhou Sheng and Yu Hao visited Liang Jinmin’s wine cabinet and said, “Oh, Teacher Liang, you have a lot of wine.”
Liang Jinmin said lightly: "If you like it, open it and drink it. I think the wine you have never drunk is better, so I will just settle it."
Yu Hao signaled with his eyes, Zhou Sheng nodded and said, "This bottle is more than 40,000."
Chen Yekai said: "I remember there was a bottle of McAllen, so I'll drink it. Master Zhou also came some?"
Yu Hao said: "I have no desire for wine, don't drive too expensive."
"Open this bottle of Canadian ice wine." Zhou Sheng knew that Yu Hao was afraid of wasting, and said, "It's not expensive, a thousand dollars, I'll make it for you to drink it sweetly as juice."
Yu Hao immediately signaled that, let's just do it, thinking that Fu Liqun was still waiting for his supper in the dormitory... but he was here to drink tens of thousands of yuan of wine with them. It was really a stinky wine and meat smelled like a rich man, and the road was frozen to death.
Chen Yekai poured Liang Jinmin a glass of wine and sat on the sofa with Zhou Sheng and Yu Hao. Chen Yekai and Liang Jinmin sat on the single sofa, while Zhou Sheng leaned on the sofa, leaving a seat for Yu Hao.
Under the warm light of the floor lamp, Liang Jinmin lit a cigarette and elegantly exhaled a breath of smoke.
"Takin." Liang Jinmin raised his glass a little in the dark of the floor lamp.
"Takin." The rest of the people raised their glasses one after another.
"What do the teacher want to talk about tonight?" Chen Yekai shook the cup gently, and the ice hockey clashed in the cup, making a crisp sound.
Yu Hao took a sip of Zhou Shengjiu's ice wine. It was indeed quite sweet, but not greasy and delicious. His eyes were always paying attention to the decorations in the room. He remembered that Lin Xun was here to beat Liang Jinmin and beat her to a serious injury and coma. He dragged her to the garage and placed her in the passenger seat, causing the car accident.
After the car accident, Huang Ting blocked the house immediately and investigated every corner in detail, and unexpectedly found nothing.
Yu Hao thought to himself, would there be some details left here that were not discovered? But with the professional quality of the police, after checking it once, he would be even less able to compare with it.
Just as he was thinking, Zhou Sheng raised his foot and gently touched Yu Hao, with his eyes as if he had something to say. Yu Hao immediately understood. Zhou Sheng was thinking about the same thoughts as him, but he did not give up.
"Talk about my failed life." Liang Jinmin put down the wine and said lightly, "Talk about this vast world and human civilization history, as a mayfly-like individual human, understanding and feeling of fate."
"Let's start today's class with a Delphie's oracle. There is a famous saying in the Temple of Apollo: Know yourself. What is a human being? Souls are born to be good, or are they evil in nature? We kill and fight each other in this world, from nations and countries to a family..."
Lights, wine, sofas... In this late night, Yu Hao could vaguely imagine that Liang Jinmin's late night classroom ranged from the bricks and axles of ancient civilizations to guns and wars in the steam era; from the Maya in the pre-classical era to the Shang Dynasty, from Alexander to Genghis Khan; from the Golden Eagle of Tutankhamun to Napoleon's Waterloo... The flashes in the grand historical river are like a dream, vast and endless.
The power of knowledge guides humans to overcome individual restrictions, stand at the end of this river, and see many bloody storms in the fog.
Liang Jinmin talked about the birth of stars from the mainstream academic theory, and talked about the energy released by nuclear fusion. The ice was melted into water and the photosynthesis of plants provided the conditions for the birth of intelligent life on planets. Then the legend of the sun god in various civilizations. Therefore, the ancient civilization worshiped the sun as the supreme god, and "light" was also considered the source of all things.
This is the first time Yu Hao has used this method to listen to a class. Liang Jinmin retains the salon method abroad and talks with them. Chen Yekai occasionally expresses his own opinions. Zhou Sheng is also fascinated by the fact that both of them forget what they are most concerned about and immersed in Liang Jinmin's knowledge.
Yu Hao suddenly felt a little regretful and actually rejected Liang Jinmin's proposal to transfer to school. If he learns with such a teacher, he might be able to really learn in his life.
"... Under the influence of this phototaxis," Liang Jinmin finally said, "We live during the day, and we sleep in the dream at night. The dream releases the most primitive desires in our hearts, hidden in the unaware personality. The formation of this personality originates from our impression of the world and self-formation in the environment of growth..."
Chen Yekai added: "This is a relatively mainstream statement in the field of psychology at present."
"Yes." Liang Jinmin nodded and said, "Take myself as an example, my family has been full of violence since I was a child. My father was an unsuccessful intellectual. Because his brother was studying in the United States, he was treated strongly with criticism and unfairly in the 1970s. My mother is a descendant of a landlord family. Grandpa and grandma fled Hong Kong with her family, and only my mother stayed for her father. You have not experienced that era and don't know what this means..."
"I probably read some." Yu Hao remembered the reports he translated, including the history of this era.
Liang Jinmin smiled and said, "My parents have two daughters. I am the youngest. Since I became sensible, my family has been filled with omnipresent violence. My father also suffered from strong hysteria..."
"Separative disorder." Chen Yekai explained to Yu Hao and Zhou Sheng, "that is, hysteria."
Liang Jinmin said calmly: "My father beat us all night long. My mother obeyed us. My sister and I were always full of fear, looking forward to the arrival of the morning and when the sun rose..."
"...But whenever the storm passes, my father regains his intellectual and gentle image. He teaches us to read and read, urges us to study hard... I can't even tell which one is the real him. It seems that he is divided into two sides of God and demon. When the sun sets, it is the beginning of a nightmare. In that era, psychological illnesses were not valued, and many people in China don't even have this understanding at all."
"Later I thought that in my marriage with Lin Xun, the psychological shadow caused by the original family in our personality might also affect my life." Liang Jinmin took out a second cigarette from the cigarette box, Zhou Sheng took out a lighter, and lit her cigarette.
"Of course this is a story later." Liang Jinmin said again, "After growing up, my father's violent behavior has been reduced. On his face, there was a depressed and desolate feeling that a middle-aged man was unable to change his situation. He was seriously ill and still called our mothers to beat and scold him from time to time. One day, my elder sister finally couldn't stand it anymore. While washing dishes, she put down the dishes, blocked my mouth, tied me to a chair with a belt, walked over silently, went to the bed, and slapped him with rubber gloves."
Yu Hao: "..."
It was the first time Chen Yekai heard Liang Jinmin telling about his past, and immediately forgot what to say.
Zhou Sheng said: "Your elder sister doesn't want to drag you into the water, so she tied you up."
To be continued...
