When school was over in the morning, Yu Hao had just left the classroom, but saw Zhou Sheng waiting for him at the entrance of the stairs. He asked for a meal card in his hand and said, "Eat."

The girl handed over the meal card under Zhou Sheng's soft and hard beating, on the grounds that "The Rockets also have one of mine." So Zhou Sheng made a promise to eat only twenty yuan of Mao cuisine and took Yu Hao to the teacher's cafeteria. It happened that the counselor Xue Long and the new head teacher Chen Yekai were at the table next door, arguing about something. After Yu Hao sat down, the two stopped briefly to talk.

I must be talking about me, Yu Hao thought.

"Come to my office at 2:00 p.m.." Chen Yekai said to Yu Hao, and Xue Long left without saying a word.

Yu Hao was a little uneasy, but Chen Yekai nodded at him and signaled to relax.

"Oh, Kaikai!" Zhou Sheng came back with Maocai and greeted Chen Yekai with a familiar look.

Chen Yekai said "yes" with great worries and got up and left.

Zhou Sheng watched him leave and said something silently. Yu Hao said, "I don't know what they want to deal with me."

Zhou Sheng said: "You didn't do anything bad, what are you afraid of? Eat it. Xue Long came to you and just say it, to be honest, don't keep silent, and suffer in silence."

Yu Hao replied: "I understand, I have to argue."

Zhou Sheng was a little surprised and nodded in praise, saying, "Yes."

Yu Hao thought for a while and suddenly said, "Is there any way to overcome his fear of some things?"

Zhou Sheng: "???"

Yu Hao was silent again, in fact, he had been thinking about the connection between the black dragon and the reservoir.

Zhou Sheng said: "Just beat him up and just have a fight. When I was a child, I was beaten up by my dad so hard that I finally had a fight with him and I was no longer afraid of him."

Yu Hao: "I can't beat a reservoir."

Zhou Sheng: "Reservoir?" Then he remembered what happened to Yu Hao last night and said, "Oh, that's it."

Zhou Shengsheng’s physical education department also has psychology in his specialized course selection. Although it is not as difficult as Yu Hao’s textbook, he still understands the basic principles.

Zhou Sheng picked up some meat dishes for Yu Hao. The so-called meat dishes were just meatballs mixed with a lot of noodles. He ate some rice, thought for a while, and said, "There are a few ways. One is to watch the reservoir be filled with it with your own eyes."

Yu Hao thought to himself, it’s been so many years, what if it’s filled in?

Zhou Sheng: "Two, go down and swim for a while, maybe you will never be afraid again... Can you swim? But don't go by yourself. Three, convince yourself, your mother... well..." He didn't say anything further.

Yu Hao knew best in his heart that the best way was to ask his mother in person and convince herself that the truth was... she loved him and had never had this idea.

After eating, Yu Hao returned first, and Zhou Sheng was still flipping through his phone with a bored look on his face, and sent him away with a word "go".

Yu Hao returned to the dormitory, put Zhou Sheng's coat in a basin, and helped him wash his clothes. The water in winter was cold and the cold made his hands red.

He should add some hot water, Yu Hao thought to himself. So he went to find a hot water kettle. There was still some water in the pot that he had made the day before yesterday. After pouring it in, Zhou Sheng's sportswear seemed to have not been washed for a week, and dirty water came out after pressing it. He suddenly found that he was not very resistant to making friends, at least he did not resist Zhou Sheng, a familiar friend.

Maybe... because Zhou Sheng's words and behaviors were very casual, he could easily eliminate his sense of restraint.

Yu Hao finished washing and drying it, and tried to take a while in bed. The roommates were still asleep and still not getting up. He couldn't sleep. He was a little nervous when he thought he had to go to Xue Long's office in the afternoon. He repeatedly simulated what he wanted to say in his heart. When the time came, he quietly got up and pushed open the door of the dormitory.

The director, counselor Xue Long, and class teacher Chen Yekai were all there. The police officer in charge of the case also came and was taking off his police cap and stroking his hair. The policeman was very young, looking about the same age as Chen Yekai, with dark skin and thinness.

Chen Yekai's first sentence was: "Is there any evidence that proves that you have not touched his statement."

The police nodded to Yu Hao, and Yu Hao said everything in his heart, and forgot everything at once.

"I really haven't touched their bookcase." Yu Hao said to the policeman, "Do you have fingerprints?"

The director of the teaching director was looking at the police officer's certificate. The policeman's surname was Huang and his name was Huang Ting. He spoke less than Yu Hao. When he saw him on Saturday, he had almost no communication with Yu Hao. Yu Hao once thought that he had already preconceivedly believed that he was a thief. Last night, Chen Yekai heard him on WeChat voice, and reversed his impression of him.

"Before reporting the case, their aunt had already cleaned it up." Huang Ting said, "The cabinet was wiped once and there was no fingerprint recorded."

Yu Hao looked at the director again, and the director glanced at him suspiciously from behind the glasses. Xue Long's face was not very good, as if it was caused by the dispute between Chen Yekai and him at noon.

"If you want everyone to believe in your innocence, you have to come up with evidence." Xue Long said helplessly, "The rule of law in society is unfounded."

"Don't they say nothing?" Yu Hao remembered the scene of Xue Long being stepped on by an elephant, and suddenly felt a little funny.

"They have evidence!" said the director of the teaching, "the form was found from you, it is evidence!"

"I took it out myself." Yu Hao said seriously, "I have been looking for the owner. It must be the first time this child has lies and framed me. I can go and investigate her first few family teachers. She doesn't want to make up for the lessons and wants to drive me away, so she thought of this method..."

Speaking of this, Yu Hao thought about it and added: "Actually, she is quite pitiful."

Chen Yekai said laughing and crying: "You still feel sympathy for her? How much impact has this incident had on our college?"

Yu Hao instantly had a different impression of Chen Yekai, as if because of him, Xue Long's attitude today was obviously different. Moreover, Chen Yekai's words meant to eliminate and beat him, and directly pointed the finger at the elementary school student who cheated him. The people present did not raise any objections, and obviously agreed with his statement.

Chen Yekai said: "The most important thing now is to find a breakthrough to prove that you have not stole things. Think about it carefully, start with the motivation of your behavior, and find the owner. Does anyone know about it?"

"Is the content of lost and found?" Yu Hao said immediately, "I have a lost and found notice in my email address. I wrote it in the Internet cafe and sent it to my email address. I prepared to download it in the printing room and then print it out and post it."

"Call it out." Chen Yekai said.

Huang Ting said distractedly: "It won't work much." But his eyes moved over with Yu Hao's actions. Yu Hao went to Chen Yekai's computer to operate. Chen Yekai suddenly remembered something and was about to close the web page, but Yu Hao had accidentally seen it.

That was a crisis intervention website.

Yu Hao's nose suddenly felt a little sore and did not dare to look at Chen Yekai. He logged into his email address. Huang Ting signaled him to wait and recorded the date, attachment in the email address, as well as the entire process of Yu Hao opening the attachment, and specially took pictures of the electronic file of the lost and found notice.

Chen Yekai took over the computer, Yu Hao did not look at it anymore, and a warm feeling surged in his heart, and decided to clear his grievances no matter what.

Half an hour later, Chen Yekai and Yu Hao sent Huang Ting out of the academy. Huang Ting said: "I will communicate with each other and strive for tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and let you talk together. This video should be able to dispel his prejudice against you."

Yu Hao was about to speak, but Chen Yekai signaled him not to speak and leave it to himself.

"Okay, it's best to let Yu Hao talk to the child alone." Chen Yekai said.

Huang Ting took off his police cap and touched his hair.

"I'll try my best to fight for it." Huang Ting replied, "If it really doesn't work, just use mediation."

"I hope to clear his innocence," said Chen Yekai.

Huang Ting looked at Chen Yekai, and then looked at Yu Hao. Huang Ting had high cheekbones, deep eye sockets, clear and sharp contours, and thick eyebrows and big eyes, as if he could see through Yu Hao's heart at a glance.

"Sometimes, for you, it is enough for the most important person to believe in you." Huang Ting said this to Yu Hao.

Yu Hao didn't know how to answer for a moment, Huang Ting nodded to Chen Yekai, got in the car, and drove away. Chen Yekai signaled him to the floor-to-ceiling glass window in the office building, and the two looked at the rain outside.

Yu Hao looked at Chen Yekai's reflection through the glass window. The lights in the ward last night were pale and dim. He was in a bad condition and didn't pay much attention to Chen Yekai. Today he wore a slim black sweater and black trousers. He was simple and amazing. Combined with what Zhou Sheng said yesterday, Chen Yekai's outfit is like the male protagonist in a Korean drama, perhaps so expensive that Yu Hao could not imagine.

Yu Hao felt like he was standing beside him, like a silly country bumpkin.

Chen Yekai smiled at Yu Hao in the glass reflection: "What do you want to say?"

Yu Hao pondered for a long time and said, "I don't think her father will admit it."

"Yeah." Chen Yekai replied in a daze, "Everyone is unwilling to admit their mistakes. But Huang Ting will deal with him. The police have the police's way. There are so many suspects, and the police have no evidence to handle the case at the beginning. If you fight psychological warfare, the other party will admit it yourself. You have to be optimistic."

Yu Hao said: "Teacher Chen."

Chen Yekai raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at him.

"I will live well." Yu Hao said, "Don't worry about me anymore, I promise you."

"I believe in you." Chen Yekai said with a smile.

Yu Hao left the college, faced the way back to the dormitory, was silent for a moment, and left the school gate.

In the convenience store at the school gate, Zhou Sheng was buying cigarettes. When he saw Yu Hao walking over, he said "Oh". However, the road was too noisy and Yu Hao didn't hear it. Zhou Sheng followed him and saw Yu Hao getting on a bus. He went to look at the station sign with confusion.

"This kid..." Zhou Sheng hurried out to stop a taxi.

An hour later, Yu Hao shivered in the rainy suburbs, and walked down a grassy field in front of the reservoir dam.

As he walked, he thought, he must not make any mistakes, otherwise Chen Yekai would be angry with him. He just said "Life well" at noon, but he was fished out of the reservoir the next day.

He was almost giving up this idea - compared to the day he was five years old, the reservoir weeds grew to waist-deep, the ladder was mottled, and it led to a shallow cement slope.

"What are you doing?" A voice suddenly rang on the dam, and Yu Hao suddenly screamed and almost slid down the grass slope.

Zhou Sheng threw away the cigarette butt in his hand, turned sideways, slid down from the dam, and said angrily: "You are sick!"

Yu Hao said in shock: "How did you know I would come here?"

"Nonsense!" Zhou Sheng said, "This area is only one reservoir. If you don't come here, there is anything else?"

"But..." Yu Hao wanted to ask, but Zhou Sheng put his hands in his pocket and kicked him hard, saying, "Didn't you say no one else?"

Yu Hao stood foolishly in the rain, and Zhou Sheng said angrily again: "Put on the hat!"

The two of them wore hoods and it was dark.

Zhou Sheng waited in the rain for nearly half an hour, and was almost wet. He sneezed. Yu Hao said, "I just came to see you, and I didn't plan to get into the water."

Zhou Sheng did not answer, took the mobile phone to light it, walked in front, and turned around and said, "If you get to the place, say it."

"It's right here." Yu Hao replied.

"Are you sure?" Zhou Sheng asked under the bridge hole.

Yu Hao said: "It's very sure, I remember the 'No fishing'."

He still remembers that when he came, his mother looked at him under a sign that prohibited fishing and asked him to dig snails. Fourteen years later, the reservoir had almost no changes, and only the grass grew taller.

"I'll go down first." Zhou Sheng said, "You wait."

"No, no." Yu Hao said, "I'll go."

Zhou Sheng was also a person who was not afraid of death and said, "Then you hold my hand and don't let it go no matter what."
