There were two teachers leading the team at Yun Jing University. One was Shi Yunshu, and the other was an old professor from the Chinese Department. In the entire Central China region, only 20 people were eligible for this free study tour, and Pei Ruoqing was one of them.
Both An Chengxi and the Pei family had contributed to the research project. Apart from the significance of the project itself, it was also to support Shi Yihong's educational philosophy. After all, Shi Yihong was the initiator of this event.
Shi Yihong did not personally lead the team. Instead, he invited a highly respected elder from the Chinese department to accompany him and teach him the knowledge.
At the airport, Shi Yihong was rubbing Pei Ruoqing's head, ruffling his freshly styled hair into a grass nest by the roadside. He didn't know when his teacher had such a bad taste. It seemed that he couldn't stand to see him be safe and sound. Pei Ruoqing's lips twitched, but she did not dare to say anything.
"Study hard, okay? If you dare to cause trouble, I'll teach you a lesson later!”Shi Yihong pretended to threaten Pei Ruoqing, but Pei Ruoqing could hear something else from his words. He looked up and looked at his teacher seriously." Teacher, are you reluctant to part with me?"”
As soon as she finished speaking, the back of her head was slapped." How did you know that your eyes saw it?”
Pei Ruoqing wanted to say that he had seen it with both eyes, but unfortunately…he did not have the guts.
Shi Yunshu came over with his boarding pass after checking in. There was a gentle smile on his picturesque face." Dad, we should go."”
"Isn't there still 40 minutes?" Shi Yihong looked at the time and said.
Shi Yunshu was helpless." We have to wait half an hour in advance.”
"Alright, let's go. Call me if you need anything.”
Pei Ruoqing followed Shi Yunshu through the security checkpoint. She turned around and saw that Shi Yihong was still at the same spot. She could not help but ask," Brother, we're only leaving for a month, right? Why does it look like we're leaving for a few years?”
Shi Yunshu sighed and helped him tidy up his hair that had been ravaged by Shi Yihong." If we leave, there won't be anyone at home. Teacher probably feels terrible.”
"Loneliness can make a person, but it can also destroy a person. His teacher…was actually afraid of loneliness.”
Pei Ruoqing pursed her lips, picked up her phone, found her contact, and dialed the number. Shi Yihong's phone vibrated. He raised his eyebrows when he saw the caller ID and scolded jokingly," You little brat.”
She hadn't disappeared from his sight yet, so of course he couldn't pick her up out of boredom. Hence, he sent a WeChat message." A lot of phone bills?”
Pei Ruoqing sent an aggrieved emoji." Didn't you give me my living expenses? You should know how many there are!"
Shi Yihong chuckled and transferred 2,000 yuan to him. Pei Ruoqing looked at the red packet that she had easily received and was a little dumbfounded. She looked at Shi Yunshu in a daze." Brother, Teacher is too…easy to talk to!”
"Just keep what Teacher gave you." Shi Yunshu looked at him and smiled warmly.
The capital was not far from Su Nan Province. The plane took only an hour and a half to arrive. Shi Yunshu and Pei Ruoqing did not go to school and went straight to the hotel they were staying at. The rest of the students who had advanced had also rushed over from Chujing University. The life teachers of the study tour company were responsible for their food and accommodation.
Because Pei Ruoqing was together with Shi Yunshu, she was not arranged in a unified manner. However, Shi Yunshu, as one of the teachers leading the team, had already arranged for accommodation.
All the rooms were double rooms. After Shi Yunshu left his luggage, he was called by the leading teacher of Chujing University to discuss the itinerary. Hence, Pei Ruoqing was left alone. When Pei Ruoqing placed his luggage in his room, his roommate had not arrived yet. Hence, Pei Ruoqing placed his luggage and left the room.
? Before Shi Yunshu could return, something unexpected happened to Pei Ruoqing.
He had planned to go downstairs to take a look, but he met the students in the lobby. The students were all carrying their suitcases and gathered in the middle of the hall, arguing excitedly. The scene was very noisy.
"You can change if you want to. What do you think this place is?”The serious female voice was obviously angry.
"Teacher, our request isn't too much. Can't we pay for the excess?”
Pei Ruoqing stood and listened for a while before she understood that these students were asking for a change of room or a single room.
"I've never lived with anyone before. I'm not used to having another person.”
"I'm not used to it either…"
"We don't even know each other, why are we living together…"
Only a very small number of people stood where they were and did not make a sound. The lifestyle teacher in charge of accommodation was already annoyed." I'm just doing what I'm asked to do. If you have any objections, go and find your lead teacher.”
Everyone looked at each other because they still didn't know who the teacher in charge was. They didn't even have a target to ask. Some of them had been on the bus for the whole morning, and some of them had even arrived a day earlier. They wanted to rest peacefully now, but when they arrived at the hotel, they found out that it was a double room. The post-2000s generation, who had been living in a single room since they were young, could not stand it anymore. All kinds of princess and young master diseases appeared.
Someone spoke again, and his tone was very sharp." Aren't you in charge of the accommodation? What did it have to do with the leading teacher? Could it be that the teacher is letting us share a room to save money?”
Although the sponsor paid for this study, the travel company arranged the expenses. The boy's words were rude, but he had his reasons.
The female teacher was so angry that her face turned red. Looking at this group of arrogant boys and girls, her expression was extremely ugly. At this moment, Pei Ruoqing, who was hidden in the crowd, wanted to say something.
? "What responsibility?" A cold voice was heard. Pei Ruoqing turned around and met Shi Yunshu's cold gaze. Pei Ruoqing took two steps back and did not speak anymore.
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw that it was led by two youths with outstanding temperaments. Especially the person on the left. His face was clear and exquisite, like a cloud or a painting, like the faint moonlight. It was Shi Yunshu.
Although the person next to him did not have such outstanding looks, the charm that was formed from the mountains and rivers made people feel close. He was not as unreachable as Shi Yunshu, but more like a green lotus that bloomed in the mortal world, clean but not arrogant.
There was another teacher with him. He was slightly younger, and his face was well-defined. He was expressionless and gave off a feeling that strangers should not approach him.
The boys and girls present held their breaths for a moment, then they were faintly excited. It was not because of anything else, but because the two people in front were too outstanding.
The encirclement unconsciously opened up a gap, and the young man beside Shi Yunshu walked in. His voice was like a gentle breeze." What's your purpose for coming here?”
"Studying!" Someone answered.
The young man nodded and asked again," Do you also choose the classrooms and teachers you want to study in?”
Everyone looked at each other and did not reply. The young man continued," I don't know how you passed the competition. If you only want to show off your knowledge, then you can go back. If he wanted to travel, anywhere was more comfortable than staying here.”
Someone protested in a low voice," We only asked to stay in a single room. There's nothing wrong with that…"
"Yes, it's true that you want a more comfortable environment, but have you ever thought about whether there are enough rooms in the hotel? How much trouble will you bring to the lifestyle teacher?”
"Guoxue is not a discipline, nor is it a technique. It is a very general concept. It was more like character education than knowledge education. You have passed the competition and are considered the best among your peers in terms of knowledge, but you are still far from being good in character.”The young man's words were profound and simple, and everyone present was silent. Some people were ashamed of his words, while others were puzzled.
Shi Yunshu looked at him with a smile in his eyes. It was the joy of finding a soulmate.
? Shi Yunshu walked forward and stood side by side with the young man." My name is Shi Yunshu. I graduated from Yun Jing University and am a first-year master's student. I have been learning Chinese culture from my father since I was young. It's my honor to study with you all."
The young man chuckled and introduced himself." Yi Shujue, History Department of Chujing University. I studied under Professor Yi He of Chujing, the one behind me.”
As he spoke, he looked at Yi He. Yi He glared at him and turned his head away awkwardly. The entire history department of Chujing knew that he was not good at dealing with people, but he could not win against this student and was forcefully pulled out by him.
Yi Shujue seemed to have expected Yi He's embarrassment and found it a little funny. More than two years had passed, but Professor Yi was still the same. He sighed and continued," I'm a second-year master's student at the start of the semester. I'm also one of your teachers. I won't say anything more. A study trip is both a study trip and a trip. Playing is secondary. I have to learn something from playing so that I won't come here in vain.”
Pei Ruoqing listened to the noise around her and felt a severe headache. Memories gradually surfaced in her mind, causing her to feel a chill run down her spine.
The students finally stopped making a fuss and put down their luggage to have lunch.
Yi Shujue, Yi He, Shi Yunshu, and the others also walked towards the dining room.
Pei Ruoqing did not wait for Shi Yunshu, nor did she go to eat. She walked along the main road of the hotel to the riverside. The sunlight outside was blinding, and the temperature was extremely high. Even when walking by the river, one could feel the steam rising.
He didn't want to go back at all. He walked forward for a while and came to a bridge. He sat on the steps by the river and stared at the river in a daze.
Pei Ruoqing closed her eyes and thought about the memories in her mind.
She thought to herself in a daze. How should he react now? Should he be sad?
He didn't know either. He only felt a sharp pain in his heart, as if he was being a little pretentious.
When did that happen? It was when he was twenty-three years old. At that time, his health was still considered good, not too bad.
However, the heavens did not seem to see him feeling any better because he had another car accident. It was very serious and he had been lying in the intensive care unit for a full seven days.
The seven days were not peaceful either. At the same time, his grandfather passed away. Before he died, he wanted to see him for the last time, and he was still in the intensive care unit. It was such a coincidence that he did not receive a single call.
An Su also had a problem with a contract with the company, so he had to run between the hospital and the company. In addition, his grandfather's funeral was very low-key, so he did not receive the news immediately.
When he woke up and bought a new phone, it was already a week later when he heard the news.
How did he feel at that time? The sky had probably collapsed!
He could still remember that his tears were uncontrollable at that time, and he could not speak in an instant. By the time he was able to come out of the hospital, it would be a month later.
The moment he was discharged from the hospital, he rushed to his grandfather's grave to pay his respects. Coincidentally, he met his father, Pei Yuan Shao. When Pei Yuan Shao saw him, he was furious. He actually beat him up without caring about the occasion and status. He even spread the word that he would no longer be a child of the Pei family.
He wanted to explain, but Pei Yuan Shao was still in a fit of anger and did not listen at all. After beating him up again, he left. He did not care about his body that had not fully recovered. He knelt in front of his grandfather's grave for three whole days without drinking a drop of water.
As soon as he left the cemetery, his body couldn't take it anymore. He got sick again and was hospitalized for three days.
Three days later, he was discharged from the hospital again. He wanted to explain to his father, but his father refused to see him again. After a few times, he gradually stopped explaining.
Later on, this news somehow reached Shi Yunshu's ears. Now that he thought about it, it was not strange at all. After all, they had this layer of relationship.
However, he did not know at that time. Their relationship became even worse after that, and Shi Yunshu never gave him a good look again.
Although he was sad, he couldn't blame anyone else. After all, he had missed his grandfather's funeral and couldn't see him for the last time, causing him to die with regrets. Although he thought so, he was still a little sad.
Yes, he was pretentious. Although he didn't want to admit it, he still had some resentment in his heart. Otherwise, he wouldn't have refused to let his father know the news of his death and only left the words 'young master' on his tombstone.
Deep down, he was a disappointed father who didn't believe him. He didn't even want to listen to his explanation. He didn't even see him for the last time.
In his previous life, before he died, he had contacted Pei Yuan Shao. It was as if he had foreseen his death. Three days before his death, he had dialed Pei Yuan Shao's number.
The phone rang for a long time but was not picked up. He was stunned for a moment and dialed a second time. However, after ringing twice, it was cut off.
He hugged his phone and stared blankly for a long time. Finally, he typed a text message over. He said that he had applied to teach in the mountain village and would be leaving in two days. His return date was uncertain and it would be difficult to see him again. He hoped to see his father before leaving, and he also included a date and place.
However, he had waited from seven in the evening to three in the morning, but it did not come. Even in a big city like the capital, there was no light at this time. At that time, Pei Ruoqing could not tell if it was dark or cold. She only felt extremely disappointed and empty.
Therefore, after daybreak, he used his connections to remove the word Pei from his name and changed it to Rong Qing.
At that time, he had forcefully comforted himself that his father had long chased him out of the Pei family, so he naturally could not continue to use this surname. However, even if he was unwilling to admit it, he was still too disappointed at that time, and there was also a hint of anger.
Even though he knew that his father was too angry at that time, he still hoped that his father would listen to his explanation and believe him. Unfortunately, he still lost hope and expectation.
Time passed by slowly until the day he graduated from university. His group of scoundrels proposed to hold a graduation party and invited Pei Ruoqing and Shi Yunshu.
Pei Ruoqing thought that Shi Yunshu would reject her, but she did not expect him to agree for some reason. The scumbags at the gathering would naturally not let go of the opportunity to drink.
Hence, they toasted Shi Yunshu one glass at a time. At first, Pei Ruoqing helped Shi Yunshu block a round. Later on, Shi Yunshu took the wine and drank it without rejecting it. His alcohol tolerance was not good to begin with, so he quickly lost consciousness.
When he woke up again, he saw Shi Yunshu's hateful gaze. The disgust and hatred in Shi Yunshu's eyes made Pei Ruoqing suddenly wake up." Pei Ruoqing, you're so disgusting. I thought that you just didn't have the right morals and basic correct concepts. I didn't expect you to even do something like drugging me.”
Only then did he realize that they were in the same room and he was not wearing any clothes. They had sex just like that. Pei Ruoqing's face was pale and her lips were bloodless. His voice trembled as he explained," It wasn't me."”
Shi Yunshu took a deep look at Pei Ruoqing before turning around to leave. Shi Yunshu's eyes contained endless disgust, causing Pei Ruoqing's entire body to turn cold.
He did not know how he had walked out of that room. He used his power to investigate and found out that it was a person called Huang Hui who was in the same industry as them. He had taken a fancy to the school belle and wanted to do something improper, so he had drugged the wine. However, he did not expect Shi Yunshu to drink it by mistake.
Looking at the few pieces of paper in front of her, Pei Ruoqing's face was almost transparent. So what if she found out? Who would believe someone like Pei Ruoqing?
Shi Yunshu would not believe him, just like how his father did not believe him. They would not believe him either.
Pei Ruoqing could not come back to her senses for a long time. Shi Yunshu's distrustful gaze and everything in her memories made her feel suffocated.
"Sigh, Pei Ruoqing, right? Why are you here? Gather at 1:30. Didn't you see the news?”Yi Shujue supported his knees and panted as he spoke.
When they were counting the number of people, they realized that one person was missing. Shi Yunshu called four or five times but no one picked up. Everyone became anxious and the hotel staff led them to look for the person.
Shi Yunshu showed the photos to everyone and left the hotel with Yi Shujue. They walked towards the riverside, but one of them went east and the other went west.
Pei Ruoqing only felt a wave of dizziness in his head, making him almost unable to maintain his sitting position. His emotions were fluctuating strongly, and he had not eaten lunch. His low blood sugar was inevitable.
Yi Shujue advised," Don't sit here. Everyone is looking for you. If there's anything, go back first.”
Is it also different? Pei Ruoqing slowly thought of what he was saying.
Seeing that Pei Ruoqing had not said a word, Yi Shujue felt a little helpless. He looked up and saw Shi Yunshu walking over quickly. He shouted," Yunshu, over here!”
Shi Yunshu was sweating profusely from running. His shirt was completely soaked, and his wet hair stuck to his forehead, making him look a little more miserable. The moment he saw Pei Ruoqing, his tense shoulders relaxed slightly, followed by a monstrous anger.
He did not even bother to greet Yi Shujue. Shi Yunshu bent over and grabbed Pei Ruoqing's wrist. His voice was suppressed and low." Get up."”
Pei Ruoqing staggered from his pull. He stood at the bottom of the steps without looking up, but he could feel Shi Yunshu's threatening gaze.
Shi Yunshu had always been calm and rational. No matter how angry he was, he would restrain his emotions and reason with you. He rarely felt his anger so directly. Once a person who wasn't usually angry got angry, the consequences would be unimaginable.
He wanted to open his mouth to ease the tension, but he heard Shi Yunshu's tone, which was so deep that it was almost cold, ask," Why didn't you pick up the phone?”
Pei Ruoqing remained silent.
"What are you throwing a tantrum about?" Shi Yunshu suppressed his voice, feeling that his many years of self-restraint were about to be destroyed in a flash.
Pei Ruoqing's lips moved, but there was no sound. The dizziness in her head became heavier and heavier. Her vision turned black and she simply let her body fall towards the river.
Shi Yunshu was shocked.”
With a bang, water splashed everywhere. Shi Yunshu grabbed onto nothing. The first thought that flashed through his mind was that Pei Ruoqing did not know how to swim.
He didn't have time to think too much and jumped down. Yi Shujue, who was standing not far away, was also stunned by this turn of events, but he did not lose his composure. He immediately took out his phone and called the hotel. He didn't call for anyone. It was noon and the surroundings were empty. No one would come even if he shouted himself hoarse.
After explaining the situation to the hotel, he stared nervously at the lake. He really did not expect the young man to be so bold.
Fortunately, this river was not deep. Shi Yunshu jumped in and pulled the person in. He locked the person in his arms and covered his lips without any explanation. At the same time, he did his best to bring the person to the shore.
Finally, with Yi Shujue's help, the two of them returned to the shore. Pei Ruoqing vomited two mouthfuls of water and coughed violently. Shi Yunshu was kneeling at the side, his hand still grabbing onto his arm, the Nine Nether Flames brewing in his eyes. Seeing that he had calmed down a little, she raised her hand and slapped him.
The loud slap stunned Yi Shujue, but Pei Ruoqing was not surprised. "Do you want to die? Go back, I'll let you eat one by one." Shi Yunshu coldly reprimanded and pulled him back.
" Brother…" Pei Ruoqing finally opened her mouth, but she did not say another word. After a while, Pei Ruoqing's mind became much clearer, but she did not know what to say for a moment. She allowed Shi Yunshu to pull her quickly towards the hotel.
Shi Yunshu pulled Pei Ruoqing to thank the hotel staff and the people who helped him find her. Although he was drenched, no one felt that he was rude. He was as calm and gentle as ever, and there was no sign of his anger. However, Pei Ruoqing knew that Shi Yunshu's anger would not subside so easily when her wrist was about to be snapped.
