Chapter 60 People and things
In the school’s security department, Liu Xingye met Professor Wen Zhaoguang.
Professor Wen is about 40 years old, with long hair and wearing a pair of dark-framed glasses, like an artist. At this moment, Professor Wen's face is bloodless, the artist's demeanor is gone, his hands are shaking slightly. When he was lighting a cigarette, he didn't use a lighter several times. Liu Xingye sent his lighter over.
Professor Wen took a few puffs of cigarettes.
"I didn't expect such a thing to happen! I didn't expect such a thing to fall on my head!" He suddenly raised his head and looked at Liu Xingye, "Officer Liu, you don't suspect that I did it, do you?"
Liu Xingye sat down and closed the lighter. "Professor Wen, is Gu Xiaoqin your student?"
"Yes, she is a student in my class."
"Do you know her?"
"I can't say I understand. There are more than 40 people in a class, and she is one of them. I don't know much about them. However, she is very eye-catching in the class. You should also notice that she is beautiful and is a famous school beauty in Binda. She is very fashionable and arrogant. It is said that many people pursue her."
"How is she studying?"
"I have some talent and don't work too hard. However, it doesn't matter if I have such a good look. Girls are so beautiful, it shouldn't be a problem to catch a rich son-in-law."
"You said there are many people who pursue her. Does she have a boyfriend?"
"I don't know this. You should ask her classmates. But I don't feel that because I've never seen her often with a man."
"You mean, the men around her are often different?"
"It can be said that. Girls are so beautiful, there are always a group of people surrounding her."
"So, are most of these people who pursue her on campus or outside the school?"
Professor Wen pondered for a moment. "It should be mostly outside the school. I have seen her leave twice. Every time, the people in the car are different. Moreover, the two men are obviously not the age of students. However, I don't know much about this. You can find her classmates to learn about it."
"Professor Wen, do you think Gu Xiaoqin is a little...a bit frivolous?"
"Frivolous? It's not a question. How can I say it, it should be more realistic. I heard that she has some relationships with several men outside the school, and they are all rich people. This is reality. College students are generally idealists, especially female college students. They always have an unrealistic fantasy about society, but it does not prevent some of them from realizing reality faster than others."
"You think Gu Xiaoqin is such a person."
"That's right. If girls become realistic, it is the real reality. This reality is actually just one word: money. I have taught many students in college and watched them all become mature with their own eyes. It's no wonder that this is commonplace. However, it still surprised me a little when Gu Xiaoqin became so realistic in the second year of college."
"How did you see it?"
"Dressing. I remember when I was in the first grade, Gu Xiaoqin was still a very innocent girl. She was a little shy and dressed very simple. As far as I know, her family background was average. However, in the second year, in this year, her dressing changed a lot, her clothes became more and more elegant, and she began to put on makeup. She was beautiful, but when she dressed like this, she became even more beautiful, and she stood out among the students. If you see her being with other classmates, you will find that she is obviously different from them."
"She recognized the reality, but lost her innocence."
Professor Wen sighed, "Sometimes I wonder: Is it a good thing for people to become mature?"
"What is the answer?"
"I don't know. People will always become mature, no matter whether they want to or not. I only know that I am very happy in school, whether it is elementary school, middle school or university, and it is carefree at that time, but I also know that I will never go back to that time. I don't know if it was really so beautiful at that time, or because I can't go back, I feel that it was beautiful at that time. I only know that when people become mature, they will lose something, something that can never be retrieved."
"Maybe that's why you choose to teach in college. You can get in touch with young faces that have not been attacked by reality every day, which may allow you to relive a certain feeling of your student days."
"Maybe there are reasons for this, I haven't thought about it. However, I do like the atmosphere of the school. Compared to the outside world, the university campus is still relatively pure and quiet."
"Professor Wen, are you a nostalgic person?"
"Nostalgia? I don't know. I just know that compared to the future, I prefer the past."
"So, what about reality?"
"The reality is that when you are hungry, you will bring a bowl of rice in front of you. No matter what it tastes, you have to eat it. If you don't eat it, you will have to go hungry." As he said that, Professor Wen turned his eyes out the window.
Liu Xingye looked out from the window. Below is the school’s playground. There are two flagpoles erected on the front of the playground, and two flags are fluttering on it, one is the Manchurian five-color flag and the other is the Japanese sun flag.
Liu Xingye took his eyes back.
Professor Wen said: "This is reality."
"No wonder," said Liu Xingye, "Let's go back to the case of Gu Xiaoqin. Professor Wen, did you call her to the office last night?"
"No, absolutely not." Professor Wen said quickly, "School just started and it was not hard to study. Why did I call her over at night? I was also wondering why she came to my office."
"Can you ask her out, but you forgot?"
"Impossible, how could I forget this kind of thing? I definitely didn't ask her to come. What's strange is how she entered my office, and she doesn't have the key to the office."
"Professor Wen, I heard that you set up a drama club that specializes in rehearsing Russian works?"
"At the beginning, I only rehearsed Russian works, but later all the works from other countries were rehearsed. What the students like."
"Then do you rehearse often at night?"
"Yes, I was coaching at the beginning, and now the students can rehearse themselves. I just go to coach once a week. However, they are all rehearsing in empty classrooms and never go to the office."
"Have Gu Xiaoqin also participated in the drama club?"
"She's been. She's so beautiful and attractive on the stage, but she's gone soon."
"Why?"
"I don't know, maybe she thinks it's not interesting to act in a drama." At this point, Professor Wen seemed to think of something and paused.
"Professor Wen, what did you think of?"
