The location of the bus stop is not too far, and the two talked a lot along the way, and it seems that they have arrived in the blink of an eye in just about five minutes.

At this time, there are no other passers-by waiting at the bus stop.

Jiang Linyue covered her mouth and chuckled.

Her behavior was the best reaction to the joke Liu Changyong had just said, and after the smile passed, Jiang Linyue looked up at Liu Changyong in front of her slightly.

Blinking, as if hesitating, his mouth had just opened a small gap, but it quickly merged again.

looked at Liu Changyong, who was more mature than in his memory.

Jiang Linyue, 27 years old this year, seems to have become a little different.

"Teacher Liu......"

Ask what you want to say.

And Liu Changyong said with a smile after hearing the other party's voice.

"By the way, I forgot to tell you that I resigned from the school some time ago, in other words, I am no longer a teacher, and you don't need to call me Teacher Liu."

“……”

was about to ask, but after Liu Changyong's statement, he was completely stillborn.

The eyes hidden behind the lenses widened uncontrollably, and Jiang Linyue felt very shocked by this news.

After all...... In her opinion, there is no one in the world who is more suitable for the position of teacher than Liu Changyong.

Such a responsible teacher...... Would you choose the wrong teacher?

The laughter and laughter along the way were completely forgotten the moment I heard this sentence.

Jiang Linyue looked at Liu Changyong in front of him blankly.

looked at the disapproving look on the other party's face......

After a long time, he asked in a very low voice.

"Why ......"

"Why? It's some reasons that are not easy to say directly, anyway, I can only communicate with you as a parent in the future, and I am no longer a teacher. ”

“……”

Listening to Liu Changyong, who said this, Jiang Linyue saw a smile on the other party's face, and it seemed that after more than ten years of teaching career, the other party was very relaxed.

But...... Jiang Linyue read a different meaning from the other party's smile.

He seems to remember the time when he was a teacher.

In Jiang Linyue's mind, Liu Changyong has always been the most responsible and attentive teacher to students.

So, now she doesn't know ...... What was the reason for the resignation of the other party as a teacher?

Since the other party had already said that it was difficult to explain the reason, Jiang Linyue did not choose to continue asking.

Instead, after being silent for a long time, he adjusted his emotions.

When she raised her head again, a smile also appeared on her face, Jiang Linyue didn't want her emotions to affect the other party.

She wanted to downplay that as much as possible.

"By the way, I just forgot to ask."

As if something suddenly came to mind, Jiang Linyue planned to use another topic to cover up the obviously dull atmosphere.

With a smile on her face, she looked at Liu Changyong in front of her and asked such a question.

"What is Yourong's mother doing now, because I didn't see her when I was at home."

“……”

Liu Changyong, who had been smiling, also fell silent after the other party asked this question.

At the same time, the expression on his face also changed with a smile.

In an instant, the woman I had just met not long ago came to my mind......

The woman named He Shishan.

“……”

The smile slowly disappeared, and it didn't take long for Liu Changyong to laugh again, trying to make his tone as flat as possible.

"I got divorced, and it was some time ago."

“……”

Such an answer is no less than the impact of the other party's inappropriate teacher just now, and Jiang Linyue, who originally wanted to ease the atmosphere, was completely dumbfounded at this moment.

A barrage of information made it impossible for her to think for a short time.

Just when she didn't know what to say, the arrival of the bus broke the phenomenon.

Liu Changyong was the first to notice the arrival of the bus.

opened his mouth, pretending to be relaxed and pointed to the bus that was about to stop behind him, and muttered softly in his mouth.

"The car is coming, let's get ready to get in the car."

"Teacher Liu......"

"It's not too early, and it's time for me to go home and prepare dinner for the kids."

The bus stopped, and the car near the platform came to a complete stop after a braking sound, and the door slammed open.

After a few other passengers got down from the rear, they waited for Jiang Linyue to get on the bus.

Whereas...... Jiang Linyue just watched.

Looking at Liu Changyong in front of her, as the head teacher of the two children, she didn't know what happened to the other party's family.

Looking at Liu Changyong, who had not changed much from a few years ago, he was just about to say some comforting words, but was told by the driver, "You can't get in the car!" Don't get on and I'm leaving! Interrupted.

hurriedly responded, and then Jiang Linyue took a step back.

looked at Liu Changyong in front of him.

opened his mouth, but finally just said a word.

"Goodbye."

Turning around, I approached the bus, and there were still many empty seats in the bus because there were not too many passengers.

Jiang Linyue chose a position relatively close to the back door and sat down, while her eyes leaned out of the window and looked at the man on the platform.

I watched as the other person raised his hand and waved it at him.

Next, the doors close.

The bus also began to move slowly.

Line of sight...... Begin to look backwards.

The bus was heading forward, while Liu Changyong was heading in the direction he had come.

One before, one after.

Hand...... Unconsciously climbed onto the window glass, Jiang Linyue looked at the back that was gradually invisible as much as possible.

In his mind, he repeated the words that Liu Changyong had just said with a smile.

[Divorced, also some time ago. 】

——————————————————

Returned home.

Liu Changyong's expression also changed the moment he approached the door, and he came directly to the door of the children's room with a slightly serious look.

After pushing open the door, he just said lightly.

"Yourong, you come out."

Then he turned and walked towards the position of the sofa.

The two children, who were dealing with their homework, were still lying in front of the small folding table without any movement.

After a while, Liu Yourong slowly stood up as if she was a little reluctant.

glanced at the younger brother who didn't raise his head, but was relieved to count in the sketchbook......

With his head down, he walked out of the room.

Footsteps...... The step was very light, and the distance was already a few steps away, and she was rubbed off for more than ten seconds.

When she came to Liu Changyong's face, the hand that had been clasping her nails slowly raised, wanting to come to her mouth and bite it.

Teeth, nails that haven't touched the thumb yet.

In the next second, Liu Yourong's father's voice came from her ears.

"Put your hands down."

The tone is flat.

But Liu Yourong could hear that her father seemed to be a little angry at the moment.

Although she has been angry with her father for the past few days, after all, it is her biological father, Liu Yourong instinctively feels a little scared, not to mention that the other party seems to have changed since some time ago.

With her hands falling vertically to her sides, Liu Yourong waited quietly.

Until, the voice of the father came to my ears.

"Why are you pushing people?"

“……”

"I'm asking you!"

"She spilled my lunch and still doesn't apologize......"

"Even if that's the case, you can't push someone, what if there's a table or stool next to it, and you push her down, and someone hits their head!"

Liu Yourong's head lowered.

And Liu Changyong raised his voice a little, his fingers kept tapping on the coffee table in front of him, and his mouth continued to teach.

"You can't just bully other classmates, it's learning at school, it's not for you to use to bully people, do you know ......"

"Gollum~"

Even if he reprimanded loudly, he couldn't suppress the grunt, which made Liu Changyong shut his mouth.

Glancing at the place where the sound came from.

looked at her daughter holding her stomach with her hands and slowly squatting down......

"Woo ......"

The suppressed crying sound, like the claws of a kitten, scratched Liu Changyong's heart one by one.

"Dad...... Dad, I, I was wrong......"

Some intermittent words came into Liu Changyong's ears because of crying.

The head that had been kept low was also raised at this moment, and Liu Yourong's little face full of tears appeared in front of Liu Changyong.

Just for an instant.

Liu Changyong didn't know why, his heart was like being held by someone's hand.

It's extremely uncomfortable.
