Chapter 4

I didn't rush to remove her last covering, but instead focused my attention on her chest. I lowered my head and took one of her breasts into my mouth, gently sucking. Sister Yu Mei closed her beautiful eyes, her hands holding my head and pressing it against her chest, letting out soft moans. I covered her other breast with one hand, kneading and rubbing it; while my other hand slid down her smooth abdomen, slipping into her panties and touching the stream surrounded by her dark forest.

"Oh... um... hmm... um..." Sister Yu Mei let out a blood-pumping moan, her chest thrusting upwards forcefully, while her jade-like legs crossed and curled up, seemingly at a loss. I thrust my middle finger in and out of her honey hole, while occasionally rubbing her clitoris with my thumb. Sister Yu Mei let out a sobbing sound, and her honey hole gushed out a large amount of honey fluid, soaking my fingers. It seemed she was aroused.

"Yu Lin...stop teasing me...it's so uncomfortable..." Sister Yu Mei's delicate brows furrowed slightly, her silver teeth biting lightly, her charming yet slightly resentful voice fueling my already rising desire, making my blood boil.

I stopped caressing her, noticing a vibrant pink blush spreading across her fair skin. Without hesitation, I reached out to remove her black panties. Sister Yu Mei's pretty face flushed slightly, her hips lifting slightly, allowing me to easily pull her panties down between her legs. I smiled, showing her my hands, wet with her nectar, and then, under her shy and reproachful gaze, I wiped them clean with her panties.

"Yu Lin, let me help you." Just as I was about to remove my own bulge, Sister Yu Mei suddenly sat up, her face red, and said to me.

I smiled slightly, stood up from the bed, my eager little brother causing a bulge in my underwear. Sister Yumei knelt before me, a little shyly, and slowly pulled down my underwear, freeing my little brother. He sprang out, swaying proudly in front of her. Sister Yumei shyly tapped my throbbing member, then grabbed it, laughing and scolding, "You naughty little devil, making me both want and fear you."

Hearing such bold words from Sister Yumei's alluring lips, my already thick penis became even harder and larger. I laughed, my erect penis standing tall, "Sister Mei, you've already had a child, are you still afraid?" Sister

Yumei glanced at me shyly, scolding, "You know I haven't had sex in two years. Yesterday, after what you did, it felt so hot down there. It's only today that I feel better."

"Oh, I'm sorry, I was too rough yesterday. I'll definitely be gentler today." I felt a little guilty, realizing that I had indeed been a bit too rough yesterday.

Sister Yu Mei gently stroked it a few times, then said shyly, "It's okay, I can handle it." She paused, looked up at me, and asked, "Has Ah Ling ever used her mouth to help you?"

I shook my head. "No, Ah Ling is quite traditional in bed. She thinks using her mouth is dirty, and I never force her."

"Although I don't have experience with oral sex either, I'm willing to try it for you today..." Sister Yu Mei said, lowering her head to suck my penis, but I stopped her. Sister Yu Mei was taken aback. "What's wrong? Are you afraid I won't do it well?"

I shook my head slightly, knelt down, and held her delicate body softly. "Actually, I'm not very used to oral sex either. Sister Mei, you don't have to force yourself." I kissed her lips, and Sister Yu Mei responded passionately, her hand still gripping my penis.

"Yu Lin, come and love me." Sister Yu Mei hugged me and leaned back, her jade-like hand guiding my penis to her already wet and sticky entrance. I nodded, and with a slight thrust of my waist, my penis entered a warm place. Because her vaginal fluids were abundant, my penis slid smoothly into her honeypot, pressing against a soft, warm surface. Sister Yu Mei let out a satisfied sigh, her legs wrapping tightly around my waist, her arms encircling my back and pressing against her body.

"Sister Mei, you're holding me too tight, I can't move," I protested, realizing Sister Yu Mei was gripping me like an octopus, making it impossible for me to move.

Sister Yumei's face was flushed, and she kissed me with her small red lips, then said in a seductive voice, "Let it soak in there for a while, we have plenty of time."

I chuckled and said, "Sister Yumei, aren't you afraid it will get soft from soaking? Don't blame me then."

Sister Yumei chuckled at this, then laughed and scolded, "If that's all you've got, then I'll kick you off the bed."

I chuckled and lay down on her chest, teasing her two purplish-red nipples. I rubbed, twisted, sucked, and bit them, and soon I felt her two nipples stand erect, while Sister Yumei's breathing became rapid. I chuckled inwardly, feigning ignorance, and continued to tease her desire as always, until she cried out in unbearable pleasure, "Good little brother... stop teasing your sister... move a little..."

"You're the one who wants me to move, and you're the one who doesn't want me to move, I don't know what to do?" I teased, my waist beginning to move gently. Although my long-dormant honey hole had been cultivated by me yesterday, it was still incredibly tight, the surrounding flesh walls tightly enveloping my penis, pleasure constantly spreading from my penis throughout my body. At first, I could still hold my breath, but as the pleasure gradually intensified, I also lost control, gripping Sister Yumei's slender waist with both hands and thrusting hard.

"Mmm... so deep... ah... so good... ah... so thick... it's filling me up... ah..."

Sister Yumei clearly let loose more, and her lewd words gradually increased. Her hands gripped my arms, her hips thrusting upwards with each thrust, allowing my penis to penetrate deeper into her honeypot. The sounds of "slap," "slap," "slap" filled the room like a rapid rain, mingling with heavy breathing and intoxicating moans, creating a "March of the Volunteers," constantly filling my senses. Only one thought occupied my mind: thrust, and thrust again.

"Ah...ah...ah...Yu Lin...ah...that's so good...ah...sister...I'm going to...die...ah...ah..." Sister Yu Mei's hips moved rapidly, as if powered by an electric motor. I thought even "Electric Hips Queen" Coco wouldn't be able to surpass her skill at this moment.

"Ah... Yulin... love your sister with all your might... sister... is all yours... ah... you've hit... my flower again... ah... ah... harder... sister... loves you to death... ah..." Sister Yumei's face was flushed, her beautiful hair flying on the pillow with the violent swaying of her head, some strands falling onto her face, obscuring her expression.

Thinking of Sister Yumei's usual dignified and virtuous appearance, and then seeing this seductive scene before me, my lust burned even brighter, my whole body felt like it was filled with endless power, my penis rapidly thrusting in and out of her honey hole. With "splashing" and "splashing" sounds, the honey fluid brought out by my penis flew everywhere, splashing all over the sheets, but we were so immersed in boundless pleasure that we had no mind to care about such trivial matters.

"Ah...no...ah...I'm going to come...ah..." Sister Yumei's waist arched violently, then slowly lowered again. At the same time, a cool liquid gushed from the depths of her honey hole, splashing onto my glans. A strong pleasure instantly spread throughout my body. I didn't deliberately suppress my pleasure; I only felt a numbness in my waist as my penis pressed against Sister Yumei's clitoris. "Plop," "Plop," "Plop," hot semen spurted out violently.

"Ah...so hot...I came again..." Impacted by the intense semen, Sister Yumei, still in the afterglow of her orgasm, actually reached another climax. As her vaginal fluid gushed out again, Sister Yumei's tense body went limp, collapsing onto the bed like a dead fish, her small mouth wide open, panting heavily, her eyes glazed, her expression dazed, still immersed in the pleasure she had just experienced.

I lay quietly on top of Sister Yumei, listening to her heartbeat. After what seemed like an eternity, as her heartbeat gradually returned to normal, she finally came to her senses from the afterglow of her orgasm. She kept kissing me and said, "I almost died just now. This is the happiest time of my life."

"Sister Mei, I'll make you happier from now on." I returned Sister Yu Mei's kiss, a feeling of happiness welling up inside me. Not long ago, Ling's sudden departure made me think happiness was gone forever, but I never expected to taste happiness again so quickly. All this was thanks to this gentle and affectionate woman before me. Filled with gratitude, I left a trail of passionate kisses on her face, neck, and chest, while Sister Yu Mei reciprocated with equally passionate kisses on my body, and desire once more filled our hearts.

"Yu Lin, come on." At my request, Sister Yu Mei lay face down on the pillow, raising her snow-white, round buttocks high. Her pubic area, covered in lush grass, was even more prominent in this position, igniting my desire. I gripped my throbbing penis and pressed it against Sister Yu Mei's vulva, then, holding her full buttocks with both hands, I thrust forward forcefully. With a soft "Mmm," Yu Mei let out a moan, her body swaying forward as I thrust into her. At the same time, my penis plunged deep into her honeyed depths.

I relentlessly pounded in, my hips and buttocks meeting with a louder "slap, slap" sound, exceptionally clear in the quiet night. With each rapid thrust, Yu Mei's labia were rolled up and exposed, revealing her bright red flesh, only to be pushed back in with the next insertion. This cycle repeated itself, the honeyed fluid dripping down Yu Mei's thighs, staining the sheets.

"Mmm...hmm...mmm...hmm...mmm...hmm..." Yu Mei gritted her teeth, her small mouth rhythmically moaning with each thrust. Her hands were on the pillow, her hips thrusting back in rhythm with my thrusts. Her upper body arched upwards and then slumped downwards, her hair disheveled, her body glistening with sweat. Through the mirror on the bedside table, I could clearly see her beautiful face, a face as radiant as a peach blossom, exuding an aura of intoxication, charm, and sensuality, making her appear breathtakingly beautiful.

"Ah...good little brother...you're going to fuck...sister to death...ah...ah...I can't take it anymore..." The intense pleasure made Sister Yu Mei moan uncontrollably. Her voice, both delicate and seductive, was like a powerful stimulant to my ears. I panted heavily, thrusting wildly, my whole body drenched in sweat without stopping.

Perhaps because I had already released my pent-up energy once, this time I lasted exceptionally long. Sister Yumei initially managed to maintain her composure, but soon she couldn't hold on any longer: "Ah... Yulin... Sister... I can't take it anymore... Ah... It's coming again..."

Under my vigorous thrusting, Sister Yumei was brought to orgasm again and again, her body becoming limp and powerless. If I hadn't been holding her waist with both hands, she probably would have collapsed onto the bed like a lump of mud. Sister Yumei lay on the pillow, biting the pillowcase with her teeth, emitting soft, plaintive moans, letting me, tireless as I relentlessly ravaged her. I do

n't know how much time passed, or how many orgasms I brought Sister Yumei to, but finally, panting heavily, I erupted again deep within her honeyed depths amidst her moans, my entire body collapsing limply behind her. Perhaps because we had exerted too much physical strength, both Yu Mei and I were exhausted, and we fell into a deep sleep in each other's arms... "Dad, Aunt Mei, are you still sleeping? The sun's already high in the sky!" My daughter Yingying's voice rang in my ears, and I was jolted awake, sitting up abruptly. I looked around and saw that Yingying was calling from the living room through the bedroom door, and I breathed a sigh of relief. At this moment, Yu Mei also woke up, and our eyes met unexpectedly. To my surprise, her pretty face blushed, and she shyly turned her face to the side.

Seeing Yu Mei's girlish shyness, I chuckled inwardly and reached out to hug her delicate body. Yu Mei struggled slightly, but seeing that she couldn't break free, she resignedly pressed her head against my chest. I leaned down and kissed her, gazing at her beautiful face as I asked, "How was it? Did you sleep well last night?"

Sister Yu Mei glanced at me shyly, her delicate hand gently stroking my chest. She pressed her head against my chest and whispered, "You were too vigorous last night. My back still aches." She paused briefly, then continued before I could speak, "But I love it. I feel like I'm twenty years younger."

"Wow, Sister Mei, you already look young enough. If you were twenty years younger, wouldn't you look like a little girl?" "You're such a smooth talker

." Sister Yu Mei was amused by my exaggerated words, playfully slapping me, then chided, "I never knew you were so smooth-talking, able to charm anyone with sweet words." "Hehe

, Sister Mei, there's a lot you didn't realize." I chuckled, then whispered in her ear, "Sister Mei, you probably didn't realize it, did you? My little brother's got some firepower, doesn't it?"

"You old rascal, be careful Yingying hears you." Sister Yumei blushed and scolded me, secretly pinching my thigh, making me wince in pain. Seeing my exaggerated reaction, Sister Yumei, both amused and annoyed, kissed me on the cheek and said with a laugh, "Stop fooling around. Look at the clock on the wall. If you don't hurry, we'll both be late for work today." With that, she wrapped herself in her pajamas, got out of bed, and went into the bathroom to wash up.

"Aunt Mei, Dad, haven't you two had enough of being affectionate yet? I'm not going to care about you anymore, I'm going to school." Yingying's voice came from the living room again. That girl really has a sharp tongue.

"Okay, you little busybody," I replied irritably, pulling a messy sheet over myself. I thought to myself, "Haven't seen those lovely students for two weeks, I really miss them. Hmm, I need to pull myself together and start a new life." I reached out and pulled back the thick curtains, letting the bright sunlight flood the bedroom. My mood instantly brightened, that long-lost feeling returned—the old Liu Yulin was back!

"...That's all for today's lesson. Does anyone have any questions?" Today I taught a review lesson on functions for first-year high school students. After finishing, I realized there were still four or five minutes left, so I let the students ask questions freely. A pretty girl in a plaid shirt raised her hand; she was Liang Xiaoyan, the vice class monitor. At my prompting, Liang Xiaoyan stood up and asked, "Teacher Liu, my question is, why do we have to learn about quadratic functions again in high school, even though we already learned them in junior high?"

"That's a good question." I gestured for Liang Xiaoyan to sit down, then glanced around at the students below the podium. They all looked blank, clearly confused by the question.

I smiled slightly, cleared my throat, and said, "As Liang Xiaoyan said, we learned about quadratic functions in junior high. Why do we have to learn them again in high school? It's because our perspective is different. In junior high, we studied the properties of a function from a macroscopic perspective. For example, we know that a quadratic function obtains its extremum at its vertex; this is studying its properties within the entire domain of the function. But in high school, it's different. We study functions from a microscopic perspective; we usually study the properties of functions within a smaller range."

"For example, with quadratic functions, we no longer study them from the entire domain, but rather from a smaller interval of the domain. For instance, when studying the maximum and minimum values of a quadratic function within the interval 'a, b,' if a and b are constants, the problem is relatively simple. However, if a and b are variables satisfying certain conditions, the complexity and difficulty of the problem increase significantly. High school mathematics precisely requires you to have the ability to solve such problems."

Seeing many students nod thoughtfully, I concluded, "High school mathematics is completely different from middle school mathematics. High school mathematics cannot be mastered simply by memorizing theorems and formulas from textbooks. You must learn to think independently and use your own knowledge to analyze and solve unfamiliar problems. Only in this way can you improve your abilities and truly master high school mathematics. Alright, that's all for this lesson. Class dismissed."

After I announced the end of class, the previously quiet classroom suddenly became noisy, with students leaving their seats and chatting and laughing in the aisle.

I finished tidying up my lesson plans and was about to leave when my gaze swept over a girl sitting blankly in her seat. A thought struck me, and I walked straight to her, saying, "Lin Yashi, come to the office for a moment." This girl, Lin Yashi, was the class monitor and also my math class representative. She was always my favorite student, but her behavior today was quite unusual.

Lin Yashi lowered her head and silently followed me to the office. My colleague, Teacher Sun, greeted me and left, leaving just the two of us in the office. I gestured for Lin Yashi to sit down and then softly asked, "Lin Yashi, I've heard from other teachers that you've been frequently distracted in class lately. Just now, I noticed you seemed absent-minded during my lesson. Is something wrong at home?"

"Teacher Liu, I want to drop out of school," Lin Yashi looked up at me, then lowered her head and said softly. I noticed her eyes were a little red.

"Why would you suddenly want to drop out? What happened at home?" I was startled and asked urgently.

Lin Yashi's story is quite pitiful. She used to have a very happy family, but three years ago, tragedy struck. Her father contracted a strange illness and was bedridden for over a year. Medical expenses were considerable, but he ultimately passed away, leaving behind a mountain of debt for his wife and daughter. The mother and daughter sold their house but still couldn't pay off the debt, and they are still carrying tens of thousands of yuan in debt.

At the beginning of the school year, as her homeroom teacher, I visited her home to understand her situation. After reporting it to the school, all her school fees were waived, and the entire school community donated over ten thousand yuan to them.

Lin Yashi twisted the hem of her clothes with her small hands, sobbing softly, "Teacher Liu, you know my family's situation. The food factory where my mother works has never been doing well, and she only earns three or four hundred yuan a month. But last week, she was laid off, and now she only receives a minimum living allowance of one hundred yuan a month. After paying rent and utilities, it's not even enough for living expenses, and we still have tens of thousands of yuan in debt to pay off. I'm thinking of dropping out of school to work, which could at least help my mother."

"Good child, don't cry." I handed Lin Yashi a tissue, but my heart ached. It was so pitiful that this sixteen-year-old girl had to worry about her daily life. However, their family's difficulties are not an isolated case. Every year, tens of millions of factory workers are laid off, and most of their families are also struggling, not much better off than Lin Yashi's.

To be honest, I don't object to using layoffs as a way to weed out the weak among enterprise employees. But in the current situation, with such an inadequate social security system, to so heartlessly discard those veteran employees who have worked hard for the company their whole lives like garbage, giving them only about a hundred yuan a month for living expenses, is simply too ruthless and cruel. Where is the socialism in this? Even "Chinese characteristics" shouldn't be like this!

Seeing Lin Yashi wipe away her tears, I thought for a moment and said, "Wait for me after school today. I'll go to your house with you. I want to talk to your mother. We adults will find a way to solve any difficulties. You're still a child; these things aren't your concern. Just focus on your studies. Go back to class and stop overthinking."

"Okay," Lin Yashi hummed in agreement, lowered her head, and walked out of the office.

Watching Lin Yashi's somewhat lonely figure, I felt a pang of sadness. Actually, I've been thinking about a question for a long time: in the more than twenty years since the reform and opening up, has China progressed or regressed?

Indeed, China is now materially abundant, with stores overflowing with goods—it seems like progress in that sense. But think back to the late 1980s and early 1990s. While material goods weren't as plentiful, most people were well-off and had no worries about making a living. Now, it's almost like going back in time. More and more people are struggling to survive, and the number of people worrying about their daily meals is increasing in large cities, and it's not uncommon in small and medium-sized cities like Qingdao as well.

I thought for a moment, then got up and went to the foreign language teaching and research office on the second floor to call Sister Yumei out. "Sister Mei, I need to talk to you about something."

Sister Yumei looked at me strangely, then smiled and said, "What is it? Just tell me."

I explained Lin Yashi's situation, then said, "There wasn't much money in my savings account to begin with, and after A-Ling's accident, some more was spent. Now we only have about ten thousand yuan left, and the only amount we can withdraw immediately is two thousand yuan in our current account. Sister Mei, could you help us out?"

"You're being too polite," Sister Yumei gave me a charming sidelong glance, then frowned and said, "I do have twenty thousand yuan that I prepared for Ruolan's university education, but it's in a fixed deposit, and I can't withdraw it now. As for the current account, I remember there's still some money in the passbook. I'll go home and get the passbook for you, and we can at least scrape together some money for her."

“No need to rush. Let’s go get the money together at noon, and I’ll deliver it to them after school this afternoon.” Sister Yumei is a very kind-hearted person. I remember clearly that when we donated money to Lin Yashi’s family, both our families donated a thousand yuan each.

Sigh, it’s always good to have more money. Even if you can’t spend it all, you can use it to do good deeds. But it’s easier said than done. In the more than twenty years since the reform and opening up, a considerable number of people have indeed become rich, but probably less than ten percent of them have become rich through legitimate means. The old saying, “A horse won’t get fat without night grass, and a person won’t get rich without windfall gains,” still holds true today.

“Oh, it’s Teacher Liu! Please come in, please come in.” Lin Yashi’s mother, Liu Yuyi, wiped her hands on her apron and hurriedly invited me into the house. This was the top floor of an old building, and the mother and daughter lived in this limited space. Since this wasn’t my first time visiting their home, I wasn’t surprised by the scene before me.

In a room of only about ten square meters, after placing a double bed, there wasn't much space left. A small wardrobe, a small table, a few stools, and a few boxes crammed under the bed constituted all the furniture. Cooking was done by a coal stove placed in the hallway, and the pots, pans, and other tableware were placed on the windowsill.

Seeing this scene, I felt as if I had been transported back fourteen years. Fourteen years ago, when Ling and I got married in a rented bungalow, the dire situation was exactly the same as this. Ling, our daughter Yingying, and I lived in that bungalow for five or six years until the school allocated me my current one-bedroom apartment. Therefore, seeing this scene, I could deeply feel the heavy burden of life that Lin Yashi and her daughter carried.

"Teacher Liu, please have some water." Liu Yuyi's voice startled me from my reverie. I thanked her and took the water glass. The moment I took the glass, I noticed her haggard face, and I sighed inwardly. Liu Yuyi pulled up a stool and sat down in front of me. She glanced at her daughter standing beside her, then looked at me and asked, "Teacher Liu, has our Ya Shi been naughty at school again?"

"No, Ya Shi is a very well-behaved child." I shook my head, took out five thousand yuan from my pocket in an envelope, and handed it to Liu Yuyi, saying, "Sister, I heard everything from Ya Shi. This is five thousand yuan that my neighbor, Teacher Li, and I pooled together. Please take it to tide you over."

"Oh, how can I accept this? Teacher Liu, I can't take your money." Hearing my purpose, Liu Yuyi hurriedly refused.

I stuffed the envelope into her hand, saying, "Sister, please accept it. Today Ya Shi told me she wanted to drop out of school to work, and I felt really bad about it. This little bit of money won't completely get you out of your predicament, but it will help for a while."

"Teacher Liu, you're such a good person. I really don't know how to repay you." Liu Yuyi wiped away her tears as she accepted the money, and Lin Ya Shi beside her also wept.

My heart was filled with sorrow, and my eyes stung as I said, "Big sister, what are you talking about repaying? Ya Shi is my most outstanding student, and I can't bear to see her drop out of school like this."

“One must never forget one’s roots. Teacher Liu, we will always remember your kindness to my mother and me. One day, we will definitely repay your kindness. Oh, and Teacher Li, we will never forget her kindness either.” Liu Yuyi wiped away her tears and said to her daughter beside her, “Daughter, why don’t you kowtow to Teacher Liu to thank her?”

“Oh, there’s no need to kowtow, is there?” When I saw that Lin Yashi was really listening to her mother and was about to kowtow to me, I quickly reached out to stop her.

With tears streaming down her face, Lin Yashi said to me, "Teacher Liu, please let me kowtow to you. It will make me feel better. Since my father got sick, all our relatives have stopped contacting us. When we were in our most difficult time, not a single one of them was willing to lend a helping hand. When we felt most desperate, it was you, Teacher Liu, and the kind teachers and students at the school who donated money to us. Today, it was you and Teacher Li who took out their own money to help us. I will remember your kindness for the rest of my life."

"You really want to kowtow to me?" A thought flashed through my mind, and I said to Lin Yashi, "You can kowtow to me if you want, but only if you recognize me as your godfather. Otherwise, I can't accept kowtows to me for no reason."

"Silly girl, what are you standing there for? Where can you find a godfather as good as Teacher Liu?" Liu Yuyi gave her daughter a push from behind. Lin Yashi finally reacted, kowtowed to me with tears in her eyes, and called out, "Godfather."

I responded, helped her up from the ground, took out a tissue to wipe away her tears, and said softly, "Good child, don't cry anymore. If you have any difficulties in the future, just tell your godfather. Although your godfather isn't very capable, I will definitely try my best to help you and your mother get through the difficulties. You mustn't think about dropping out of school or working anymore, understand?"

"Okay." Lin Yashi agreed softly, hugged my arm, and looked up at me, saying, "Godfather, can you go back after you finish eating?"

"Oh, right, right, right, stay and eat before you leave." Liu Yuyi hurriedly stood up and said to Lin Yashi, "Daughter, you stay and talk to Teacher Liu, I'll go buy some more groceries." Only then did I notice two bowls of food on the small table against the wall. One bowl contained cabbage, and the other contained pickled vegetables and fermented bean curd. It seemed that this was what the mother and daughter were going to eat for dinner.

My heart ached, and I reached out to stop Liu Yuyi, saying, "Sister, don't bother. You and Yashi eat this every day. I'm not some precious person, what can't I eat?"

"Then... then I'll have to trouble you." Liu Yuyi hesitated for a moment, then asked Yashi to help her move the table over, and then served three bowls of rice. The three of them sat around the table and began to eat. Liu Yuyi stammered, "Teacher Liu, you finally get to eat here, and I'm only offering you cabbage. I feel so bad."

"Sister, I'm not a guest, you don't need to say anything." Although it was just cabbage and kimchi, I ate with relish and couldn't help but praise, "Sister, your kimchi tastes really good, I really like it."

"Oh, really? I just made it myself. If you like it, I'll bring some back for you when you leave." Liu Yuyi seemed very happy to hear me praise her kimchi.

Lin Yashi, who was standing nearby, smiled and said, "Godfather, you're right. My mother's kimchi is really good; many people say it's delicious."

"Oh, really? Then I must take some back." I said happily. Speaking of which, I've always liked kimchi and pickled vegetables. When my mother was still alive, I especially loved the pickled vegetables she made. However, while the kimchi was delicious, eating it every day would be unbearable. So, she said to Liu Yuyi, "Sister, Ya Shi is in a stage of rapid growth. If she eats this kind of food every day, she might suffer from malnutrition. You should improve her diet appropriately."

"Teacher Liu, I know it's tough on Ya Shi, but I have no choice," Liu Yuyi said, her eyes reddening again.

Lin Yashi quickly comforted her mother, saying, "Mom, don't say that. This little hardship is nothing; I can handle it."

Seeing the deep affection between mother and daughter, I was also quite moved. After thinking for a moment, I said, "Big sister, I'd like Yashi to come to my place for lunch from now on. What do you think?"

Liu Yuyi wiped away her tears and said somewhat flusteredly, "Oh dear, Teacher Liu, thank you so much. You've already helped us so much; we're really too embarrassed to trouble you any further."

"It's not trouble at all; it's just an extra pair of chopsticks." I turned to Lin Yashi and asked, "Yashi, what do you say?"

"Godfather, I..." Lin Yashi stammered.

I couldn't help but chuckle, "What's wrong? Are you afraid there's poison in your godfather's food? Or do I have to beg you to go?"

Lin Yashi blushed at the teasing, clinging to my arm and pouting, "Godfather, you're so mean! You know that's not what I meant!"

I laughed, "Then it's settled. It'll save you the trouble of running around every day at noon."

Liu Yuyi's eyes welled up with tears, deeply moved, "Then... thank you so much, Teacher Liu. I'm too embarrassed to say thank you."

"Sister, you don't need to say thank you. We're doing this for the child." I patted Lin Yashi's head, "Yashi, you have to live up to her expectations. Not for anything else, but for all the hardships your mother has endured, you can't let her down."

"Godfather, I know. I will definitely work hard." Lin Yashi nodded, "When I start working, I'll make sure Mom lives a comfortable life."

"What a filial child," I said approvingly. Honestly, I truly admire the mother and daughter before me; I admire their strength. Despite repeated setbacks and blows, they haven't been intimidated by the overwhelming pressure of life, maintaining their faith in life, which commands respect. I secretly made a vow to help them escape their predicament and give them a completely new life. I believe I can do it one day.

Several days passed in a flash. Although I suddenly had a "daughter," Lin Yashi, our daily lives remained unchanged. Yashi and Yingying got along very well, like sisters. Yumei and I were very happy to see this. To be honest, Yashi is smart and sensible; everyone would like her. That's why Yumei took her in as her goddaughter. Yingying even got a little jealous because of this, saying Yumei was biased. Sigh, she's such a child who never grew up.

It was the afternoon of September 25th, 2003. After finishing my class and returning to my office, my colleague, Teacher Sun, said to me, "Teacher Liu, you're back just in time. Grandpa Wang from the gatehouse called and said someone's looking for you at the school gate. You should go check it out."

"Thank you," I said, putting down my lesson plans and leaving the office. Although I didn't know who was looking for me, I had a vague feeling it might be related to the car accident, so I hurried down the teaching building, crossed the playground, and ran towards the school gate. At the gatehouse, I met the person who was looking for me: a beautiful young woman with a pretty face and full breasts and hips, who looked to be around thirty years old; beside her was a little girl of about ten years old, with delicate, pretty features, very cute.

"I'm Liu Yulin. Are you looking for me?" I asked somewhat uncertainly, as I had absolutely no recollection of the mother and daughter before me—meaning I had never seen them before.

A beautiful young woman extended her slender hand to me, her voice soft and gentle: "Hello, Teacher Liu, I'm here to see you. My name is Miao Yuxiu, and this is my daughter, Yao Jiani. Jiani, quickly say hello to Uncle."

"Hello, Uncle," the little girl's clear, melodious voice rang out, her round eyes curiously scanning me.

I bent down and patted her little head, smiling as I praised her, "So good."

The little girl seemed a bit shy, hiding behind her mother and peeking at me. Miao Yuxiu shook her head affectionately, then said to me, "Teacher Liu, it's not very convenient to talk here. Shall we find another place to talk?"

"Oh, okay, please come with me." Full of suspicion, I led the mother and daughter back home. Naturally, no one was home at the time.

After I asked the mother and daughter to sit down, I went to pour them some water. Just then, I suddenly heard the little girl, Yao Jiani, say to her mother, "Mommy, it's this auntie..." My heart skipped a beat, and I turned around sharply. I saw the mother and daughter standing under the photo of Ling hanging on the living room wall, carefully examining the picture.

Just as I was wondering what was going on, the mother and daughter suddenly knelt down on the ground with a "thump." I exclaimed in surprise, "What are you doing..."

"Thump," "thump," "thump," the mother and daughter kowtowed three times to the photo, then got up and turned to face me. Seeing my speechless astonishment, Miao Yuxiu whispered, "Teacher Liu, you should know why we're here today. We've come to pay our respects to your beloved Teacher Xu. It was your beloved who saved my daughter's life a little over two weeks ago."

"Madam, you mean this child is the girl my beloved saved?" I pointed at the little girl, Yao Jiani, my shock beyond words.

Miao Yuxiu nodded, then led the little girl to me, her voice tinged with sadness: "Yes, Jia Ni is the little girl your husband rescued from under the car wheel. That day, Jia Ni ran home crying, which startled me. I pressed her for answers before finding out what had happened. But she was terrified and only knew that an aunt had pushed her away; she didn't know anything else. I asked around but couldn't figure out who saved my daughter. It wasn't until last night when I accidentally saw your missing person ad in the newspaper that I learned your husband was the one who saved my daughter. Before coming to the school, I didn't know your husband had passed away until I asked the old man at the gatehouse just now. Teacher Liu, I don't know what to say, so please accept our bow."

"What are you doing? Please get up." Miao Yuxiu and her daughter insisted on kneeling and kowtowing before rising. After I asked them to sit down again, I didn't know what to say for a moment.

After a moment of silence, Miao Yuxiu asked softly, "Teacher Liu, has the driver who caused the accident been found?" I shook my head with a wry smile. Miao Yuxiu asked incredulously, "How could this be?"

I sighed and said, "Because someone higher up gave the order, the traffic police suppressed the case." At this point, a thought struck me, and I looked at the little girl, Jiani, and said, "Jiani, tell Uncle, do you remember what kind of car hit you?"

Miao Yuxiu looked at her daughter encouragingly. Yao Jiani tilted her head and thought for a moment, then said timidly, "I was terrified. I only remember the car was red, but I didn't see the brand." Red? There are so many red cars. Sigh, the little girl must have been terrified.

"Oh, it's alright, Uncle will find a way to find out." I reached out and patted her little head, asking softly, "What grade are you in?"

"Sixth grade." Miao Yuxiu looked at her daughter with some affection, her tone slightly worried, "This child used to be very lively and active, but since this car accident, she seems to have become much more timid, sigh..."

"Madam, don't worry too much, she'll forget about it after a while." I comforted my worried mother, inwardly cursing the damned perpetrator. He not only cruelly took Ling's life, but also left a terrible memory in the pure young heart of this little girl. He truly deserves to die a thousand deaths. I looked at Yao Jiani, who was leaning timidly against Miao Yuxiu, and said softly, "Jiani, how about Uncle gets you a drink?"

"Okay." Jiani glanced at her mother, and after receiving an encouraging look from her mother, she replied sweetly. I got up and took a can of coconut juice from the refrigerator, handing it to her. The little girl finally smiled sweetly, "Thank you, Uncle."

"Good girl, drink up." Watching the little girl happily drink her beverage, I felt a little better and continued to tease her, "Jiani, tell Uncle, what does your father do?"

"I don't have a father," Jiani said unhappily, pouting.

I looked at her mother, Miao Yuxiu, with a sorrowful expression. Miao Yuxiu stared at the floor and said softly, "Jiani's father left us when she was only one year old, saying he went to do business elsewhere, but he never came back. I asked around about him, and some people said he had other women outside. I don't know if it's true or not, but my daughter and I consider him dead."

"Another one," I muttered to myself, thinking of Zhang Yijing, who ran a bar. Her mother and daughter's experiences were exactly the same as Miao Yuxiu's.

Miao Yuxiu, perhaps having overheard my mutterings, looked at me with some confusion and asked, "Teacher Liu, what did you just say? Another one?"

"Oh, I was just thinking about a girl I met recently. Her father abandoned her and her mother when she was very young. Now, this girl runs a small bar not far from the school gate. You might have even passed by the bar on your way here."

Hearing my explanation, Yao Jiani's eyes widened. "Uncle, you mean that woman who runs the bar doesn't have a father like me? My mom and I even asked her for directions just now."

"Oh? What a coincidence?" It was truly a coincidence.

Miao Yuxiu sighed, "It seems there are quite a few unfaithful men in this world." Realizing her mistake after saying that, she blushed and apologized, "Teacher Liu, I didn't mean you..." I smiled, indicating my understanding. Miao Yuxiu glanced at me, then asked, "Teacher Liu, do you want to find the driver who caused the accident yourself?"

"Yes, I can't let Ling die like this without a clear explanation." I nodded and said, "There must have been many eyewitnesses at the scene; I think there's always a way to find clues." Miao Yuxiu nodded, about to speak, when suddenly the sound of the door lock turning came, and she didn't finish her sentence.

"Oh, Yulin, what are you doing home? And who are these two…?" It turned out to be Sister Yumei returning. Seeing Miao Yuxiu and her daughter, Sister Yumei seemed very surprised. After learning who Miao Yuxiu and her daughter were, Sister Yumei pulled Yao Jiani up and down, sighing deeply. After chatting for a few more minutes, Miao Yuxiu and her daughter got up to leave. Sister Yumei stopped them, saying, "Sister, why don't you stay for dinner before you go? Yulin's daughter will be home from school soon, wouldn't you like to see her?"

"Alright then, we'll be sorry to bother you." Miao Yuxiu wasn't in a hurry to leave after hearing that my daughter Yingying would be back soon.

"What's the bother? It's fate that we met." Sister Yumei acted like a hostess, instructing me, "Yulin, go buy some more groceries, I'll keep my sister company."

What could I say? Of course, I obeyed unconditionally. But as I was leaving, I saw Yao Jiani looking a little down, so I smiled and asked, "Jiani, do you want to go grocery shopping with your uncle?"

"Mom, can I go?" Yao Jiani seemed eager to go, but she first asked her mother's opinion.

Miao Yuxiu hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement, "You can go, but be good, okay? Don't cause your uncle any trouble."

"Mom, I know!" Yao Jiani skipped over to my side, took my hand, and said, "Uncle, let's go."

As we went downstairs with the little girl, we ran into my colleague Lao Wen. Seeing Jiani holding my hand, he joked, "Lao Liu, going to buy groceries? This little girl isn't another one of your goddaughters, is she?" The news of Lin Yashi recognizing me as her godfather had somehow spread quickly at school, so now everyone knew.

"No, she's a friend's daughter," I said softly as I approached him. "This is the girl Ah Ling rescued."

Old Wen gave a soft "oh," looked Yao Jiani up and down, his playful expression vanishing. He patted my shoulder and sighed, "Old Liu, try to think more positively. See you later."

"See you later." After Old Wen left, I noticed Yao Jiani, who was holding my hand, looking at me with a complicated expression. I asked, somewhat surprised, "Jiani, what's wrong?"

"Oh, nothing." Seeing the little girl's reaction, I was secretly quite surprised, because I realized that this little girl wasn't as innocent as she seemed. Kids these days are frighteningly precocious. A thought struck me, and I asked, "Jiani, besides your mother, do you have any other relatives?"

"No." Jiani shook her head and said, "My mother and I used to live with my uncle. He loved me very much, but two years ago he got married, and my aunt seemed to dislike my mother and me. I saw my mother and aunt arguing once, and soon after, my mother and I moved out. Now we live in a rented place."

"Oh, what does your mother do?" I asked curiously.

Yao Jiani said proudly, "My mom is amazing. She owns a clothing store, and besides selling clothes, she also designs them herself. Uncle, do you think my clothes look good? My mom made them all herself."

"Oh, they look great. Your mom is so capable," I said sincerely. It's already incredibly difficult for a woman to raise a child alone.

Hearing my affirmative answer, Yao Jiani smiled happily, tilting her little head and saying, "When I grow up, I'll definitely be as capable as Mom."

"I think so." I smiled and asked, "Jiani, what do you like to eat?"

"I like to eat fish."

"Okay, let's go buy fish now."

After buying groceries and returning home, it was Lin Yashi who opened the door for us. She smiled and took the plastic bag of groceries from my hand: "Godfather, let me handle this. I'm here for dinner today, so I should at least do my part, right?"

"You little rascal, you know there's something good to eat tonight." I joked, "Be careful not to cut your hand."

"Don't worry, I'm not a pampered young lady, and it's not like I'm a novice in the kitchen. It's just chopping vegetables and cleaning fish, right?" Lin Yashi hummed a little tune and went to the kitchen to wash the vegetables and clean the fish. This girl is very diligent. Since she came, Sister Yumei has had a much easier time. In comparison, my daughter Yingying is far inferior to her.

"Mom, we're back!" Yao Jiani ran towards the bedroom with a smile. Sister Yumei was talking to her mother, Miao Yuxiu, inside. Yao Jiani ran to her mother's side, hugged her arm, and giggled, "Mom, on the way here, an uncle said I was Uncle Liu's goddaughter, it was so funny. By the way, wasn't that sister Uncle Liu's goddaughter?"

"Oh, she's one of your Uncle Liu's students. You're right, she's your Uncle Liu's goddaughter." Sister Yumei teased Jiani with a smile, "Then wouldn't you like to recognize Uncle Liu as your godfather too?"

Jiani didn't answer Sister Yumei's question, but turned to me as I walked into the bedroom, "Uncle Liu, can I recognize you as my godfather?"

Before I could speak, Miao Yuxiu said to me, "Teacher Liu, Jiani's life was saved by your husband, and she doesn't have a father. If you don't mind, why don't you take her as your goddaughter?"

"Of course I don't mind, such a lovely daughter is hard to find even with a lantern," I said with a smile.

Just then, a voice chimed in, "Oh, so my daughter isn't cute anymore?" It was Yingying, the little girl, who had returned. I turned around and, sure enough, Yingying appeared at the door, her face covered in sweat, her clothes soaked through. I asked in surprise, "Huh? Yingying, why are you all sweaty?"

"Sister Yijing, come in," Yingying didn't answer me, but instead gestured to the people behind her. A familiar figure appeared before everyone. Everyone present recognized her except for Sister Yumei—it was Zhang Yijing, the bar owner. She was similar to Yingying, also covered in sweat, as if she had just done some exercise. Seeing me, she said a little shyly, "Hello, Teacher Liu."

"Oh, what a coincidence! Come in quickly." I beckoned them in. Zhang Yijing and her daughter Miao Yuxiu both exclaimed in surprise upon seeing each other. Yao Jiani ran to Zhang Yijing's side and looked up at her, saying, "Aren't you the older sister who runs the bar? What are you doing at my godfather's house?"

"Godfather?" Zhang Yijing and Yingying stared at each other. Yingying turned to me and asked, "Dad, when did I get another god-sister? I didn't know at all."

Yumei smiled and chimed in, "You just met when you came in, of course you didn't know. Hey, why are you both so sweaty, your clothes are soaked?"

Zhang Yijing smiled and replied, "Oh, it's because Yingying asked me to fight."
10-27
Chapter 05

Fight? Miao Yuxiu and her daughter stared wide-eyed. I smiled and explained, "My daughter has learned martial arts from me. She heard that this Miss Zhang is a karate master and is unconvinced. She must have gone to spar with Miss Zhang today. Am I right?"

"Dad's so smart," Yingying flattered me with a grin.

I said irritably, "You little rascal, I don't know what to say to you. You must have suffered a loss today. Even if Miss Zhang was going easy on you, you were no match for her."

"Dad, you're right about everything. I admit defeat today," Yingying said, still trying to please me with a grin.

Sister Yumei laughed and scolded, "Little girl, stop trying to please your dad. Go take a shower and change your clothes. I'll introduce you to some guests later."

"Auntie, and this god-sister, I'm sorry, I'll go take a shower with Sister Yijing first. See you later," Yingying apologized to Miao Yuxiu and her daughter with a grin, pulling the slightly blushing Zhang Yijing into the bathroom.

I smiled wryly at Miao Yuxiu and said, "See? My daughter is quite mischievous."

Miao Yuxiu laughed, "I wish our Jia Ni could be this lively."

Yao Jia Ni, snuggling close to her mother, pouted slightly, a little dissatisfied, and said, "Mom, is it wrong for me to be like this?" Her childish expression made us all laugh. Miao Yuxiu laughed, "You little rascal, I only said one sentence and your lips are already pouting. Aren't you afraid your godfather will laugh at you?" Jia Ni glanced at me shyly, her little face blushing. Sister

Yu Mei smiled and stood up, saying, "Yu Lin, you chat with your sister for a while, I'm going to the kitchen."

"Big sister, I'll go help you."

Miao Yuxiu stood up to go too, but Sister Yu Mei stopped her, "Sister Yu Xiu, you're a guest today, how can a guest cook? If you come again, I won't stop you." Hearing Sister Yu Mei say this, Miao Yuxiu didn't say anything more. After Sister Yumei left, I chatted with Miao Yuxiu and her daughter for a short while before Yingying and Zhang Yijing came out after showering. I noticed that Zhang Yijing was wearing Ling's clothes; their figures were similar, and the clothes fit Zhang Yijing perfectly, though she seemed a little embarrassed.

"Miss Zhang, please don't be so polite, make yourself at home," I said with a smile, inviting Zhang Yijing to sit down. Her pretty face flushed slightly as she said, "Teacher Liu, you're too kind."

Yingying chuckled and said, "Dad, really, you keep calling me Miss Zhang, how can Yijing feel at home?"

Zhang Yijing's pretty face flushed slightly as she said, "You can just call me by my name. I won't call you Teacher Liu anymore, I'll just call you Uncle Liu."

“Then I won’t stand on ceremony with you. You and Yingying, please sit down. Let me introduce you to our guests.” I gestured for Yingying to sit next to me, then pulled Yao Jiani in front of me and said, “Yingying, let me introduce you to your god-sister. Her name is Yao Jiani. Do you know why she considers me her godfather?” Yingying naturally shook her head. I sighed slightly and said, “Because she’s the girl your mother saved the day she had the accident.”

“Ah?” Yingying’s smile vanished instantly. She looked Yao Jiani up and down with a complicated expression. Jiani looked up at me timidly and asked, “Sister Yingying, don’t you like me?”

“Oh, of course not. How could I not like such a cute little sister? I’m just a little sad because I’m thinking of my mother.” Yingying reached out and took Jiani’s hand, pointing to Miao Yuxiu and asking, “Then this auntie must be your mother, little sister?”

“Yes, I’m Jiani’s mother.” Miao Yuxiu answered on her behalf, then beckoned to Yingying and said, “Yingying, come here and let Auntie take a look.”

"Mom, what do you want to see?" Jia Ni asked, pulling Ying Ying to Miao Yuxiu's side.

Miao Yuxiu reached out and pulled Yingying to her side. After looking her over carefully, she stroked Yingying's hair and asked softly, "Good child, tell Auntie the truth, are you really not blaming your little sister Jiani?"

Yingying shook her head and said, "It wasn't Jiani's fault, how could I blame her? I think anyone who saw that situation would have done the same as my mother. I'm proud to have such a mother."

"What a sensible child," Miao Yuxiu sighed, and then asked, "Child, Auntie doesn't know how to make it up to you. Tell me, what do you want Auntie to do?"

Yingying bit her lip and remained silent for a while, then suddenly her eyes lit up, and she smiled mischievously, "Auntie, since Jiani has recognized my father as her godfather, I can't be at a disadvantage. I want Auntie to be my godmother, will you agree?"

"Yes, yes, how could Auntie not agree?" Miao Yuxiu happily hugged Yingying, smiled, and kissed her on the cheek, saying, "Having such a beautiful daughter like you, Auntie is overjoyed!"

"Congratulations, little sister, on having a new mom!" Zhang Yijing teased Yingying with a smile. Yingying glared at her and said, "Sister Yijing, if you're jealous, why don't you find a godmother too?"

Before Zhang Yijing could answer, Jia Ni chimed in with a laugh, "Sister Yingying, big sister has her own mother, why would she need a godmother? But big sister, like me, doesn't have a father, shouldn't she find a godfather?"

Zhang Yijing was taken aback and asked in surprise, "Uh, little sister, how do you know I don't have a father? And why don't you have a father either?"

"I told her," I interjected. "Jia Ni is like you; her father left her and her mother when she was very young, very similar to your situation."

"Oh, what a coincidence!" Zhang Yijing smiled and pulled Jiani over, patting her head. "I didn't expect you and I to be in the same boat. But you're luckier than me; you have Uncle Liu as your godfather now."

Yao Jiani replied with a smile, "Big sister, don't envy me. You can also have my godfather."

Yingying, always eager to stir things up, giggled and chimed in, "Sister Yijing, Jiani's suggestion is great! Why don't you consider it?"

I couldn't help but laugh. "You two little girls, you really know how to find godfathers for people. Don't you think about it? Yijing is already over twenty. Do you think I could have a daughter that old?"

Zhang Yijing also found it amusing. "That's true. It's really hard for me to call you godfather. It's easier to call you Uncle Liu." Miao Yuxiu, Yingying, Yao Jiani, and the others also found it funny and laughed along. At this moment, Lin Yashi walked in and asked with a smile, "What are you two talking about? You seem so happy."

Yingying stood up, hugged her with a smile, and said, "Sister Yashi, let me tell you, I've recognized Aunt Miao as my godmother, so I have a mother again!"

Lin Yashi smiled and said, "Oh, really? That's quite a lot of good news today. We should celebrate properly later."

"Of course! Oh, by the way, Sister Yashi, when is dinner? My stomach is rumbling." Yingying hugged Yashi and said coquettishly. To be honest, she and Yashi were becoming more and more like sisters.

Ya Shi laughed upon hearing this, "I just came to tell you it's time to eat! You little rascal, you keep saying you're hungry, let's see how much you can eat later!"

"Uh..." Yingying made a face at Ya Shi, wrinkling her cute little nose and grinning mischievously, "Sister Ya Shi, you're starting to sound more and more like my mom."

"Tch, talking nonsense again." Ya Shi spat shyly, reaching out to pinch Yingying, but Yingying naturally wouldn't let her pinch her, giggling as she ran away, "I'll go check out the kitchen first, you wait for my good news." After saying that, she dashed off to the kitchen, and then we heard Sister Yu Mei's laughing and scolding voice coming from the kitchen.

I smiled and explained to Miao Yuxiu and Zhang Yijing, "This girl must have sneaked a bite again." They looked puzzled, then suddenly realized, and knowing smiles appeared on their faces.

"Auntie, your cooking is so delicious, I wish I could eat it every day." Sister Yumei's cooking skills are undeniable. Not only Miao Yuxiu and Zhang Yijing praised it highly, but even Jia Ni was full of compliments.

Sister Yumei was naturally very happy and said with a smile, "Eat as much as you like. Auntie will cook delicious food for you every time you come."

Jia Ni smiled and said, "Auntie, after hearing you say that, I want to stay here and never leave." As she spoke, she turned her head to look at me and asked jokingly, "Godfather, if I really stay here and never leave, will you kick me out?"

"Silly girl, Godfather's house is your house too. How could Godfather kick you out?" I smiled and patted her little head. "But if you really stay here with Godfather, I'm afraid your mother won't be happy."

"Why would I be unhappy?" Miao Yuxiu smiled and said, "To be honest, I don't have much time to take care of her. There are no children of similar age in the neighborhood to play with her. Every day after school, she can only stay in her room alone and watch TV. I wish she had an older sister like Yingying to play with. But then again, her school is too far away from here, and it's too inconvenient for her to go to school every day."

"Yes, I've thought of that problem too," Yao Jia Ni said with some distress.

I smiled and comforted her, "You don't have to be so downcast. You can come to your godfather's place this weekend. You can play with Yingying and eat your Aunt Mei's cooking. It's a win-win situation, isn't it?"

"Oh, right, how come I didn't think of that?" Yao Jiani jumped up happily and kissed me on the cheek, hugging my arm and giggling, "Godfather, you're so good to me."

Miao Yuxiu saw her daughter's adorable appearance and couldn't help but laugh and scold, "Girl, you're so grown up, but you still don't know any better. Be careful you don't make your godfather dislike you."

"Mom, you're always talking badly about people. Godfather won't dislike me." Jiani pouted and sat back down. Her childish behavior made us all laugh. However, I noticed a detail. While we were laughing and talking, Zhang Yijing unconsciously revealed a trace of loneliness on her face. Obviously, she had never enjoyed a father's love since she was a child and was reminded of the situation.

It was already getting dark. Miao Yuxiu, Yao Jiani and her daughter, and Lin Yashi said their goodbyes shortly after finishing their meal, but Zhang Yijing was asked to stay overnight by Yingying. The two of them stayed at Sister Yumei's house, while Sister Yumei was "domineeringly" forced by Yingying, who had "usurped" her place, to sleep with me. This made Sister Yumei quite embarrassed, of course, because of the presence of Zhang Yijing, an outsider. However, I didn't care about that. I closed the door and hurriedly pulled Sister Yumei to bed, because I was feeling a bit pent up after being "sexually harassed" by that little brat Yingying all night.

"Why are you in such a hurry?" Sister Yumei asked, blushing slightly, as I rushed to undress her as soon as we got into bed. However, being understanding, she cooperated, helping me undress as well. After a flurry of activity, we were completely naked. Sister Yumei pushed me down onto the bed and put her nipple in my mouth. I gently sucked and nibbled on her nipple, while my hand explored her private parts, teasing her relentlessly. Soon,

Sister Yumei's face flushed crimson, her body trembled, and she began to moan softly. Slippery fluid began to flow from her private parts. I felt the nipple in my mouth harden, and at the same time, my other hand gently grasped and twisted her other nipple. Under my three-pronged attack, Sister Yumei's eyes were filled with desire, her body pressed against me like cotton, her face revealing a look of anticipation and longing.

Suddenly, I felt a chill in my lower abdomen. It was Sister Yumei, who had grabbed my penis and was stroking it. An overwhelming lust surged from my lower abdomen, quickly spreading to every cell in my body. I couldn't hold back any longer and spat out the nipple in my mouth, saying, "Sister Yumei, hurry up and sit on me, I can't wait."

Sister Yumei gave me a charming glance, her jade-like hand stroking my penis a few more times. She then grasped it and gently rubbed it against her already dripping wet vulva, before suddenly sitting down. My erect penis was enveloped by her warm, soft flesh, and the intense pleasure almost made me groan. After sitting down completely, Sister Yumei let out a long breath, paused briefly, then gently lifted her hips, letting my penis withdraw a little before sitting down again, repeating this motion repeatedly.

"Sister Mei...that's amazing...faster...oh..." The incredibly pleasurable feeling made me cry out, and at the same time, my hands covered Sister Yu Mei's breasts and began to knead them. With the rise and fall of Sister Yu Mei's body, her full breasts changed shape constantly in my hands.

Sister Yu Mei grabbed my arms with both hands and quickly stroked them, moaning softly, "Ah...Yu Lin...how come you...are so hard...ah...and...why...so...rush...today...ah..."

"It's all because of...Ying Ying...that...little girl...last night...I was...harassed by her...all night...I...have been...holding back...a belly full of...fire...Sister Mei...you are truly...a...qualified...knight..." I wasn't idle either. Besides taking care of her breasts, my waist also cooperated with Sister Yu Mei's thrusting upwards, so that the tip of my penis could hit Sister Yu Mei's clitoris every time.

"Ah...every time...it hits...the G-spot...ah...it's so...unbearable...ah...ah...it's killing me..." Sister Yu Mei became somewhat frantic, her delicate body twisting and turning like a sieve, her beautiful hair cascading down, fluttering in the air with her violent movements, adding to her wild charm. With the "plop," "plop" sounds of thrusting, the jade fluid in her honey hole was squeezed out like a pump, most of it flowing down my thighs onto the sheets, while a small portion was splashed everywhere.

"Ah...it's exhausting...ah...I can't take it anymore...ah..." Sister Yu Mei's stamina was limited after all; after a period of rapid thrusting, she seemed to be running out of energy, and her speed slowed down. Having just tasted a little sweetness, I was naturally not satisfied. I grabbed Sister Yu Mei and rolled over, pressing her delicate body beneath me. I lifted Sister Yu Mei's legs and placed them on my shoulders, making her honey hole even more prominent, and then I began to thrust violently without stopping for a moment.

"Ah...ah...ah...too deep...ah...ah..." The intense pleasure made Sister Yu Mei moan softly. Her head swayed from side to side on the pillow, her jade-like hands gripping the sheets tightly. A tempting pink blush rose on her snow-white skin, making her appear crystal clear and exceptionally alluring. I thrust wildly like a storm, my hips slamming into her genitals with each powerful stroke, the sounds of "slap," "slap" rapid and loud.

"Ah...ah...I can't take it anymore...ah...I'm dying...ah..." With Sister Yu Mei's screams, a large amount of vaginal fluid gushed from the depths of her vagina. The walls of her vagina began to contract and spasm violently. My already intensely pleasurable penis, squeezed by this, could no longer hold its ground and ejaculated violently deep within her vagina.

"Look at you, all sweaty again? Looks like you've really been holding it in. That girl Yingying is such a nuisance." Sister Yumei hugged me tightly, gently wiping the sweat from my face, and said sweetly, "But you're really good at holding back. You didn't touch Yingying, but I've suffered an innocent disaster. It's truly a case of 'when the city gate catches fire, the fish in the moat suffer.'"

"Sigh, I really can't do anything with this girl. I can't hit her, and I can't scold her." I shook my head with a wry smile and said, "Sister Mei, I guess you'll have to be the firefighter and put out this fire for me. Sigh, I'm such a useless father."

“This isn’t cowardice, this is love.” Sister Yu Mei’s delicate hand traced circles on my chest as she gazed at me with deep affection, softly saying, “Aren’t you afraid of hurting Yingying?” Then, she changed the subject, “I wonder what those two girls, Yi Jing and Yingying, are doing now? Oh, by the way, did you notice the expression on Yi Jing’s face when you were eating just now?”

I nodded, somewhat wistfully saying, “Of course I noticed. Alas, she’s a pitiful girl too.”

“Alas, she’s not the only pitiful one. Aren’t the Miao girls pitiful too?” Sister Yu Mei said sadly, “It’s so difficult for a single woman to raise a child.” As she spoke, she lowered her head and kissed me, softly saying, “Compared to them, I’m much happier. I’m already very content. Yu Lin, are you content?”

“Of course I’m not content. I want to get even greater pleasure from Sister Mei.” I grinned wickedly and pressed Sister Yu Mei down beneath me again, my silver spear already in full combat readiness.

Feeling my erection, Sister Yu Mei blushed and said shyly, "You, I'm talking to you seriously, and you're just being unreasonable."

"Isn't this a serious matter?" I chuckled, thrusting my hips forcefully, and the alluring moans echoed in the room again…

September 27th, Saturday. It was supposed to be a day off, but because of the seven-day National Day holiday adjustment, school was in session on Saturday and Sunday, and factory workers were at work as usual.

In the afternoon, while I was preparing lessons in my office, I suddenly received a call from a taxi company, informing me that the taxi driver who took Ling to the hospital that day had been found. I hung up and ran outside; this news was extremely important to me. Unexpectedly, just when I was at my wit's end, things suddenly took a turn for the better. First, Miao Yu Xiu and her daughter came to my door, and then the taxi driver was found. It seemed even fate was on my side.

I rushed to the agreed-upon intersection, anxiously waiting for the driver to appear. One minute, two minutes… time was slipping away quietly. I anxiously looked around, when suddenly, a red Xiali car screeched to a halt beside me. A middle-aged man leaned out of the window and asked, “Are you Teacher Liu?”

“Oh, yes, I am. And you must be Mr. Liu?” I asked excitedly.

The middle-aged man nodded and gestured for me to get in the car.

I got into the passenger seat, and the man drove a short distance before pulling into a quiet corner. I offered him a cigarette, but the driver, surnamed Liu, waved his hand and said, “I don’t smoke.” After a slight pause, he immediately continued, “Teacher Liu, I know why you wanted to see me today. Actually, this matter has been on my mind for a long time…” I didn’t speak, quietly waiting for him to continue.

"That afternoon, I saw a beautiful red Ferrari in front of a shopping mall. I was curious, so I parked there and waited for a fare. After a while, I saw a young, pretty woman angrily run out of the shopping mall, get into the Ferrari, and drive away quickly. Just as I was wondering what was going on, a stylishly dressed middle-aged woman also ran out, got into my car, and told me to follow the car in front. The woman driving the Ferrari seemed very angry; she was driving very fast, and I almost lost her several times."

After pausing to catch his breath, the driver, surnamed Liu, continued, “I drove that woman around the city several times, following the car in front. That lady was probably furious; at an intersection in the busy area, she ran a red light. There was a little girl on the crosswalk at the time. She was probably terrified and didn't even brake, just driving straight towards her. Just as she was about to hit the little girl, someone suddenly rushed from the side and pushed her aside. That was your wife, of course. She was thrown into the air. It was me and that middle-aged woman who took her to the hospital.”

“Although my wife didn't survive, I still want to thank you very much,” I said sincerely. In today's society, there are so many people who wouldn't help someone in distress. The most disgusting report I've ever read was about a police officer who was stabbed and seriously injured by a thief while trying to catch him. Hundreds of people watched, but not a single person stepped forward to help the officer, letting the thief get away. And that wasn't all; after the officer was stabbed, no one cared, no one called the police, and the officer bled to death in full view of the crowd.

"Oh, don't thank me, I feel so ashamed." The driver, surnamed Liu, blushed slightly and turned his head away. He continued, "You wouldn't believe it, but afterwards, that middle-aged woman gave me a thousand yuan and told me not to tell anyone. I've been struggling with this for days. I actually knew about your visit to our company a long time ago, but... sigh... I feel much better now that I've spoken about it. After all, one can't do things against their conscience."

So there was more to this story. No wonder the middle-aged woman who took Ling to the hospital paid the ten thousand yuan deposit for Ling and didn't ask me for it back; she was in cahoots with the driver who caused the accident.

"This is the license plate number I wrote down. I think it should be easy to find out who was driving." The driver, surnamed Liu, handed me a small piece of paper. Actually, even without the license plate number, the fact that it was a red Ferrari was already very important information. In a city like QH, you could count on one hand the number of people who could afford a Ferrari.

"Thank you so much! How about I treat you to dinner tonight?" I was naturally very happy to get the license plate number.

"Please don't say that, I'm too embarrassed to eat." The driver, surnamed Liu, said apologetically, "Alright, how about I just take you back to school?"

"Oh, no need to trouble you, it's not far for me to walk back. Alright, I won't disturb your work any longer, I'll be going now." After parting ways with the driver, surnamed Liu, I kept thinking about what the relationship was between that middle-aged woman and the girl who hit someone with her car. But one thing I was sure of was that their relationship was very close, maybe even family.

The next afternoon, I was grading papers in my office when the phone rang. It was Xiang Wentian calling. He told me some news that didn't surprise me: the owner of the Ferrari had been identified as Mei Yuqing, the daughter of Mei Tenglong, the richest man in the city and chairman of the "Tenglong Group". That Ferrari sports car was a birthday gift from Mei Yuqing's father, Mei Tenglong, when she turned eighteen this March. And it was this extravagant birthday gift that cruelly took Ling's life.

Everything became clear. According to the driver surnamed Liu, it was highly likely that Mei Yuqing herself was the one who hit her that day. The reason the traffic police suppressed the case was definitely because of the behind-the-scenes maneuvering of Mei Tenglong, the chairman of the "Tenglong Group." It's said that he's on friendly terms with the city's leaders, so the traffic police naturally didn't dare disobey him. Damn it, what "Three Represents"? All talk and no action, but they just represent the rich and powerful. Who cares about the life or death of an ordinary citizen?

I sat there blankly for a long time, then suddenly an idea struck me, and I got up and went to the newspaper reading room. After some searching, I actually found a report about that Ferrari sports car in an old newspaper from March. Next to it were photos of Mei Tenglong, chairman of the "Tenglong Group," his wife Jiang Ruixiang, his son Mei Yunpeng, his daughter-in-law Mo Yuqing, and his daughter Mei Yuqing. Looking at the beautiful girl with a sweet smile in the photo, I really didn't want to believe she was the murderer of my wife, but all the facts pointed to her.

Seeing me photocopy the article and the photo, Old Qin, the newspaper room manager, asked curiously, "Xiao Liu, why are you photocopying this?"

"Oh, nothing." Of course, I didn't tell him anything. Leaving the newspaper room, I went straight to the top floor. Unlike the other buildings on campus, the top floor of the teaching building was flat, except for the protruding railings, stairwell entrance, and flagpole. At the base of the flagpole was a square cement platform about half a person's height. I sat on the platform, lit a cigarette, and stared blankly at the photo I had photocopied.

Before this, I had always had one thought in my mind: to find the culprit who caused Ling's death. Now, the culprit has been identified (though not 100% certain), but I'm hesitant and uncertain, unsure of what to do next. Should I

sue in court? Not only is the influence of Tenglong Group in QH City beyond my comprehension as a teacher, but even if the court accepts the case, I have no evidence. I can't rely on that driver surnamed Liu to testify for me, and even if he were willing, his testimony alone wouldn't be convincing.

What should I do? Should I just let the murderer go unpunished? Of course not. I must get justice for Ling, but I obviously can't rely on those corrupt government departments. I can only rely on my own strength. But I can't act recklessly. I'm not afraid of getting into trouble myself, but what about Yingying and Sister Yumei? This is truly a dilemma for me.

Just as I was deep in thought, footsteps suddenly came from the stairwell. I turned my head and saw two familiar figures. I wondered to myself, "Why are they up here at this time? Hmm, why do they look so strange?" It was none other than Lin Yashi, the class monitor, and Liang Xiaoyan, my class vice-monitor. They clearly hadn't noticed me sitting behind the flagpole base and stopped about two meters away from the flagpole.

"Liang Xiaoyan, what do you want to say to me? There's no one else here, you can finally tell me, right?" Lin Yashi's tone was a little impatient. It seemed Liang Xiaoyan had invited her. What did Liang Xiaoyan want?

"Lin Yashi, I'm asking you, what kind of seductive tricks did you use on Teacher Liu to make her like you so much? Why did Teacher Liu give your family her own money and even take you in as her goddaughter?" Liang Xiaoyan's words startled me. What was this girl thinking? How could she say something like that?

“Liang Xiaoyan, watch your mouth. You know our family situation perfectly well, why are you asking questions you already know?” Although I couldn’t see Ya Shi’s expression from my angle, I could tell from her tone that she was very angry: “If it weren’t for Teacher Liu’s help, I probably wouldn’t even be able to go to school. Are you trying to kick me while I’m down and laugh at me?”

“Am I such a shallow person? Don’t try to fool me. It’s understandable that your family is in trouble and Teacher Liu helped your family, but what’s with you recognizing Teacher Liu as your godfather? And why are you going to Teacher Liu’s house every day?” Liang Xiaoyan’s tone was aggressive, but unfortunately I couldn’t see her face, so I couldn’t tell what her expression was.

"I don't understand what you're talking about?" Ya Shi seemed a little impatient. "You're really strange. What business is it of yours if I recognize a godfather?"

"Of course I can't control who you recognize as your godfather, but it's different if it's Teacher Liu." Liang Xiaoyan's words sounded very odd. "You're still pretending to be confused with me. Do you think I don't know?"

"What exactly do you know?" Ya Shi seemed to be getting angry, and her voice suddenly rose eight octaves. "If you don't have anything else to say, I'm going downstairs. I don't have time to chatter with you."

"Who's chatting with you? Don't think you can hide it from me. I know perfectly well that you secretly like Teacher Liu." Liang Xiaoyan's words really surprised me so much that I couldn't speak. I almost thought there was something wrong with my ears.

Ya Shi was just as surprised as I was. I saw her body tremble violently, and her voice trembled slightly: "You... what nonsense are you talking about?"

"Nonsense?" Liang Xiaoyan seemed to pull out a small notebook from behind her back and waved it in front of Ya Shi, saying, "Look at this. Do you want me to read it all out?"

"My... diary?" Ya Shi exclaimed, clearly taken aback by the situation. Then she almost screamed, "How did my diary end up in your hands? Give it back to me... give it back to me..."

Ya Shi reached out to snatch the diary from Liang Xiaoyan's hand, but Liang Xiaoyan clearly wasn't going to let her succeed. She jumped back, dodging Ya Shi's hand, her tone laced with provocation: "Trying to take it from me? Not so easy. I found this diary in the small garden in front of the classroom. There's no name on it. How do you know it's definitely yours? Hehe, I'm going to hand it over to the authorities and let Teacher Liu find the owner."

"No...you can't give it to Teacher Liu..." Ya Shi's tone softened immediately, almost pleading, "Although it doesn't have my name on it, it has my initials in pinyin. Please give it back to me, okay? If my godfather finds out, he'll definitely scold me to death. Please, have mercy!" "

Oh, begging me?" Liang Xiaoyan's tone was smug. "It's not impossible for me to give it back to you, but you have to answer my questions truthfully and agree to my conditions." Uh, what's wrong with students these days? Why are they blackmailing their classmates? Sigh, they probably watch too many Hong Kong movies like "Fight Back to School" and "The God of Cookery." Speaking of Hong Kong movies, they really do have a lot of bad influences. If you don't believe me, just take a walk on the street; there are bound to be plenty of hooligans imitating "Young and Dangerous."

"What do you want to ask?" When you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. Because Liang Xiaoyan had leverage over her, Ya Shi had no choice but to swallow her anger.

"Oh, you're quite sensible. Okay, let me ask you, have you secretly fallen for Teacher Liu?" Liang Xiaoyan's tone was laced with mockery.

But Ya Shi wasn't one to back down either, and her reply was equally sharp: "You already know, so why ask? You've fallen for my godfather just like me, don't think I don't know."

"Huh? Looks like I underestimated you. No wonder Teacher Liu treats you differently. You're right, I do like Teacher Liu, so we're rivals." Rivals? Are you kidding me? Is this really coming from a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl? I was utterly shocked, and the cigarette in my mouth fell to the ground. Teacher-student relationship? That phrase suddenly popped into my head. My goodness, I'm really going to become the number one celebrity in QH City.

"Hmph, what's the big deal? There are plenty of girls at school who like sugar daddies. Do you think it's just the two of us?" Ya Shi said with a hint of disdain. I was quite surprised listening to this, but then I thought about it, and realized that most girls at this age daydream a bit. I calmed down a little, but then I heard Ya Shi say coldly, "What do you want from me to give me back my diary?"

"I want you to never get close to Teacher Liu again. Can you promise that?" Liang Xiaoyan's tone carried a hint of cunning, which was not easy to detect if you didn't listen carefully.

"You...you've gone too far. Even if you're jealous, you don't have to be like this, do you?" Ya Shi obviously believed it and was very angry. From my angle, I could see her back, and I noticed that her fair neck had turned red. The phrase "red-faced and thick-necked" must describe Ya Shi's current state.

"Since you can't do it, then I can't help you. I'm leaving." Liang Xiaoyan turned to leave.

Ya Shi, naturally, couldn't let her leave like that. She reached out and grabbed her, her tone hardening: "Liang Xiaoyan, don't push your luck. Even a cornered dog will jump over a wall, and a person driven to desperation will bite. I've been begging you, and you're still not satisfied. Well, I'll have to resort to my

worst tactic. You'll have to return this diary today, whether you like it or not." "Oh, you want to fight me? Fine, I'm all set." Liang Xiaoyan appeared defiant, but I could tell she was teasing Ya Shi. Unfortunately, Ya Shi was too enraged to maintain her usual composure. Because I saw through Liang Xiaoyan's intentions, I confidently continued eavesdropping without intervening.

"Since that's the case, then there's nothing more to say. Let's settle this with our skills." Ya Shi really got into a fighting stance. Seeing that Liang Xiaoyan hadn't moved, she got a little annoyed and said, "Are you going to fight or not?"

"Of course not." Liang Xiaoyan giggled, laughing so hard she bent over. Ya Shi was confused by the laughter and asked blankly, "Liang Xiaoyan, what are you laughing at?" "

I'm laughing at how cute you are. I was just teasing you, and you took it seriously." Liang Xiaoyan straightened up and handed the small notebook in her hand to Lin Ya Shi: "Here you go. What kind of person am I, Liang Xiaoyan? How could I stoop to using despicable means like blackmailing others to achieve my goals? Hmph, although you're temporarily in the lead, I'll catch up quickly. We'll see." Ya Shi took the diary blankly, still a little confused. Seeing this, Liang Xiaoyan chuckled and said, "I'm not going to stand here dazed with you. I'm leaving now."

"Little vixen." Ya Shi stood there stunned for a long while, then suddenly uttered this phrase, referring, of course, to Liang Xiaoyan who had just left.

I chuckled inwardly and peeked out to observe Ya Shi's reaction. She clutched her diary to her chest, closed her eyes, and murmured, "Godfather, Ya Shi really wants to tell you in person that Ya Shi doesn't actually want to be your goddaughter, because Ya Shi, like Yingying, is hopelessly in love with you, her father. But Ya Shi is afraid to say it, afraid that once she does, she will lose you forever. Godfather, what should Ya Shi do?"

Hearing my female student, my goddaughter's blatant confession of love, I was utterly dumbfounded. What made me even more uneasy was that Ya Shi's words revealed another piece of information: she knew about Yingying's father complex. Good heavens! I didn't even know how Yingying's situation would end, and now Ya Shi had gotten involved. Maybe that mischievous Liang Xiaoyan would also interfere. Wasn't this going to kill me?

Just as I was feeling utterly overwhelmed, Ya Shi, who had been standing there blankly for a while, had already composed herself and gone downstairs. I stood up and leaned against the railing, letting the breeze blow on my face, my mind still a jumble of thoughts.

Time slipped by unnoticed until the school bell rang, and I suddenly realized it was time to go home. Sure enough, not long after, students began to emerge from their classrooms in twos and threes, walking lightly across the playground towards the school gate. The entire campus became noisy, clearly because the seven-day National Day holiday started tomorrow, and the students were all relaxed.

After some time, the campus gradually returned to calm, and I leisurely walked down from the top floor back to my office. The teachers in the office had obviously already left. I sighed inwardly, gathered my chaotic thoughts, and continued grading assignments. But before I could even settle into my seat, there was a knock on the door. I looked up irritably and said, "Come in."

The door opened gently, and a young girl came into view. She wore a snow-white wool sweater, a denim jacket, and tight jeans, which accentuated her long, shapely legs and pert bottom. Her face was delicate, with bright, clear eyes, a delicate nose, and slightly upturned lips that gave her a mischievous air. Her short, stylish hair added to her fresh and lively appearance.

"It's Xiaoyan! Why aren't you home after school? Is something wrong?" Yes, this girl was Liang Xiaoyan, the one who had teased Ya Shi on the rooftop earlier, making Ya Shi secretly call her "little vixen." Her eyes darted around, looking mischievous; I wondered what kind of trick she was up to now.

"Teacher Liu, I want to ask you, why did you take Lin Yashi as your goddaughter?" Liang Xiaoyan pulled up a chair and sat opposite me, tilting her head as she asked.

I chuckled inwardly, thinking, "You're still harping on this, aren't you?" Outwardly, I showed no reaction, casually replying, "Ya Shi's biological father is gone, and her family is struggling financially. I felt sorry for her, so I took her in as my goddaughter. What's so strange about that?"

"My parents divorced a long time ago, so I'm practically fatherless too. Aren't I just as pitiful? Why doesn't Teacher Liu take me in as her goddaughter?" Liang Xiaoyan's words made everything clear. This girl wasn't here to question why I took Ya Shi in as my goddaughter; it seemed she was competing with Ya Shi, trying to get closer to me by becoming my goddaughter.

To put it bluntly, she was jealous of Ya Shi. It was truly a bit ridiculous. If I hadn't overheard her conversation with Ya Shi, I definitely wouldn't have guessed her intentions, but now I knew perfectly well. Of course, I couldn't show it on my face. I pretended to be surprised and asked, "Oh, so you mean you want to be my goddaughter too?"

"Can't I? Am I not as good as Lin Yashi? Teacher Liu, tell me, what do I lack compared to her?" Liang Xiaoyan gave me a somewhat resentful look and said angrily.

I secretly groaned in my heart, thinking to myself, "This girl is sure to cause me trouble." I shook my head with a wry smile and said, "I didn't say that. You're a very smart girl. Of course, I'd be happy to have a daughter like you. I just don't understand why you want to be my goddaughter too?" "

Then please don't ask any more questions. So you agree?" Liang Xiaoyan's face lit up with a bright smile, and she stood up happily.

Now that things had come to this, I had no choice but to agree. I said, "I agree, but you have to listen to me from now on."

"Of course! You're my godfather, who else would I listen to if not you?" Liang Xiaoyan was very happy to have achieved her goal. "Godfather, the seven-day National Day holiday starts tomorrow. Can I come to your house to play?"

"Of course, but you have to ask your mother's opinion first." I reminded her a little worriedly.

Liang Xiaoyan nodded and said, "Of course! I'll go home and tell my mother now. She'll be very happy. Godfather, I'm going now."

"Be careful on the road." After seeing off this little devil Liang Xiaoyan, I continued to correct my homework. Not long after, I heard someone peeking in through the door. I looked up and saw Ya Shi. I asked curiously, "Ya Shi, what are you doing, peeking in through the door?"

"She's gone?" Ya Shi walked in, looked around, and asked out of the blue.

I was taken aback at first, then suddenly realized she was referring to Liang Xiaoyan, and asked curiously, "You mean Liang Xiaoyan?"

"Of course, that little vixen! What does she want with you?" Ya Shi asked, staring at my face.

I secretly felt a headache coming on, thinking, "You two little girls are secretly competing; what am I stuck in the middle?" I frowned and said slightly, "What little vixen? Watch your mouth. One of you is the class monitor, and the other is the vice-monitor. What will the other classmates think if they hear this?" Ya Shi stuck out her tongue shyly and lowered her head, remaining silent. I shook my head with a sigh and continued, "She came to ask me to be her godfather."

"Ah? She wants to be your godfather too?" Ya Shi was surprised, looking up at me and asking, "Did you agree, godfather?"

"Of course I agreed. What's wrong? Are you unhappy?" I asked, looking at Ya Shi's slightly pale face.

Ya Shi shook her head shyly and said, "No, I was thinking that Liang Xiaoyan has been resentful towards me because she didn't become the class monitor. She always tries to compete with me for everything. I never thought she'd even secretly compete with me over this matter of recognizing me as her godfather. I'm really fed up with her." "

Oh, I'll talk to her about that. You should also be careful. Healthy competition is a good thing, but don't let it turn into mutual resentment. You two are the class monitor and vice monitor, and you need to work together on many things. If you two aren't united, it will make other students and other classes laugh at you, and I won't look good

either. You wouldn't want to tarnish your godfather's reputation, would you?" I subtly reminded her at the opportune moment. From her tone and expression, it was clear that she still harbored resentment towards Liang Xiaoyan. "Godfather, I understand. I'll be more careful in the future." Ya Shi blushed, becoming a little embarrassed.

I smiled and said, "Alright, it's getting late, you should go home soon."

"Yeah, Godfather, you should go home soon too. Should I tell Aunt Mei on my way home?" Ya Shi asked, looking at me.

I nodded and said, "Sure, just tell Aunt Mei. I need to finish grading these assignments, so I might be a little late getting home."

"Okay, I'm off then, goodbye Godfather." After seeing Ya Shi off, I let out a long sigh, inwardly marveling at how different students are these days compared to when we were in school.

But this is an inevitable consequence of social development; people's moral and value systems have fundamentally changed. It's impossible to expect today's students to be as innocent as we were back then. As for whether this change is good or bad, it's hard to say for sure. Although I've always believed that it's better for students to be innocent, not everyone thinks so. Indeed, many things in reality cannot be measured by simple good, bad, right, or wrong, and people sometimes find it difficult to make judgments and choices.

The seven-day National Day holiday was supposed to be a great opportunity for the family to travel, and I had promised Yingying a long time ago that I would take her on a trip this National Day. However, things have changed now, and I'm not in the mood for going out anymore.

Yingying is very understanding and didn't mention going out. I was worried she would be bored, but it seems I was worrying for nothing, because Lin Yashi, Liang Xiaoyan, Yao Jiani, and her classmate Lin Wanzhen all came to our house to play. Even Zhang Yijing closed her bar and came to visit (because business is slow during the National Day holiday). Several girls of all ages got together, laughing and joking, and then went shopping together, which was quite nice. Actually, going out to travel at this time of year means everywhere is crowded, and you can't really enjoy yourself.

The seven days passed quickly, and the girls got along very well after spending a few days together, especially Lin Yashi and Liang Xiaoyan, who were no longer secretly competing with each other like before. I had something on my mind, so I basically didn't go out and stayed at home thinking about my own things.

Sister Yumei stayed quietly by my side the whole time, because I had told her everything, and she knew what was on my mind. Perhaps it was because of the gentle and quiet Sister Yumei and those lovely girls that my hatred lessened considerably, and I calmed down. Otherwise, I might have really done something outrageous.

After National Day, everything seemed to return to calm, but my heart was never at peace. The thought of avenging Ling kept lingering in my mind. If I had no worries, I could think of a thousand and one ways to get revenge, but now I couldn't think of a single one. Putting aside Sister Yumei's influence, I couldn't let Yingying lose her father after losing her mother. In the blink

of an eye, another week passed. Yingying and Sister Yumei both went to the provincial capital. Yingying went to participate in an English speech competition, while Sister Yumei went to attend a conference. They would both be gone for several days, leaving me all alone.

However, after being taught by Sister Yumei for a period of time, Liang Xiaoyan and Lin Yashi, those two girls, have greatly improved their cooking skills. So, during the few days Sister Yumei was away, my food and clothing were taken care of by the two girls.

October 15, 2003, is a memorable day for China and all the Chinese people, because at nine o'clock that morning, the Chinese people used their own spacecraft "Shenzhou V" to send China's first astronaut, Yang Liwei, into space.

After lunch that day, Liang Xiaoyan and Lin Yashi went back to the classroom first, while I stayed in the living room watching the CCTV news program to learn about the latest situation of Shenzhou V. Just as I was getting excited and my heart was pounding, there was a sudden knock on the door. I put down the TV remote and got up to open it.

"You are..." I asked, somewhat puzzled, looking at the pretty girl standing in the doorway. She looked about eighteen or nineteen years old, dressed in casual clothes and carrying a large bag. As I looked at her, she was also looking at me, but her expression seemed very sad, and her large eyes seemed to have lost their luster, appearing empty and lifeless.

"Uncle Liu, don't you recognize me? I'm Ruolan." The pretty girl's cherry lips parted slightly, and her somewhat familiar voice reached my ears.

I slapped my forehead and exclaimed, "It's Ruolan! I almost didn't recognize you! Why are you back so suddenly? Don't you have your house key? Wait a minute..."

I turned to get the key to Sister Yumei's house across the street. I never expected Sister Yumei's daughter, Zhu Ruolan, who was in college, to suddenly return at this time.

"Come, come, come in quickly." I unlocked the door for Zhu Ruolan and helped her carry her large bag inside.

"Uncle Liu, where's my mom?" Zhu Ruolan asked as soon as she entered the house. I closed the door and replied, "Your mom went to a meeting in the provincial capital. She probably won't be back for two or three days. By the way, why did you suddenly come back at this time?"

"Uncle Liu, I was expelled from school..."

Zhu Ruolan sat on the sofa and started crying. I was startled and quickly comforted her, "Don't cry, don't cry. Tell your Uncle Liu what happened." As I spoke, I handed her a tissue box.

She cried for a while, then wiped her tears with a tissue, choking out, "During the National Day holiday, one of the girls in our dorm lost her wallet. She suspected someone in the dorm had stolen it, so everyone opened their drawers for her to look for it. And...and...the wallet was in my drawer...but I've never seen her wallet before, and my drawer is always locked. I can't understand how her wallet ended up in my drawer, and she even said some money was missing..."

"I couldn't explain myself; no one believed I was innocent...Later, the department and school teachers found out about it. They made me admit to stealing the money and gave me a disciplinary warning, but I didn't admit it, so the school expelled me...Uncle Liu, that girl is the daughter of our school's vice-principal. She's always been jealous of my better grades and prettier looks. I really didn't steal her money; it must be her doing, but I have no proof..."

"Uncle believes you. You're not that kind of person." I've practically watched Ruolan grow up; how could I not know her character? It's obvious someone deliberately framed her.

October 27th,

Chapter 6:

I reached out and patted her shoulder, saying, "Ruolan, don't cry. It's obvious someone is deliberately framing you. What kind of thief would be so stupid as to steal a wallet and then keep it in their drawer? Taking the money out and just throwing the empty wallet into some trash heap would leave no evidence, right? I don't think all the teachers at your school are stupid; they would notice such a big flaw. The key point is that the girl is your vice principal's daughter. Child, you did a great job not giving in to those people. Uncle is so proud of you."

"Uncle Liu, do you really believe me?" Ruolan raised her tear-filled face, looking at me pitifully as she asked. I nodded firmly and said, "I watched you grow up, and I trust my eyes. Although I feel resentful that you lost the opportunity to go to university for this reason, as long as you don't lose heart, you can still become a useful member of society after putting in your efforts."

"Uncle Liu, thank you for believing in me," Ruolan said gratefully, wiping away her tears. "I'm afraid my mother..."

"You don't need to worry about that. Your mother is a reasonable person and won't blame you for this. Don't worry," I comforted her gently. "You must be hungry. I'll go get you something to eat."

"No need, Uncle Liu, I can't eat anything right now," Ruolan stopped me.

I shook my head helplessly. In the days after Ling passed away, I also couldn't eat anything. I nodded sadly and said, "Alright then, you must be very tired from the train journey. Why don't you take a hot bath and get some rest? I'll come and call you for dinner later."

"Uncle Liu, thank you, but I'm going to visit an old classmate this afternoon, so I might not be back for dinner. You don't need to worry about me."

"That's fine, but you must promise me you won't do anything foolish." I was still a little worried about Ruolan's current state.

"Uncle Liu, don't worry. If I were to take my own life because of this, wouldn't that just make that scoundrel even more smug? One day I'll go back and get revenge on her. How could I be so foolish?"

"That puts my mind at ease. I won't disturb your rest any longer. I'll go now." After closing the door for her, I couldn't help but shake my head, a surge of resentment rising in my heart. The good mood brought by "Shenzhou V" had vanished.

I spat angrily. What kind of world is this? Even universities, supposedly ivory towers, can have such sordid and dark things happening. This makes one deeply worried about the future of China. If even the cleanest place in the country, "schools," is polluted, what hope is there for the whole country?

I didn't have any classes in the afternoon, so I restlessly prepared lessons and graded assignments in my office, my mood at its lowest point. After school, Liang Xiaoyan and Lin Yashi came to ask me what had happened. I told them about Ruolan, and they were both indignant, cursing the villain who had harmed her behind her back. They originally wanted to see Ruolan, but I thought it was best not to disturb her at this time, so I sent them home early.

When I got home, I first went to check if Ruolan was home, but she wasn't. Remembering she'd told me she was going to visit an old classmate, I decided to put her out of my thoughts for the time being. I went to the kitchen, heated up the leftovers from lunch, ate a quick bite, and then turned on the TV to watch news about Shenzhou V. My mood improved slightly. Before I knew it, it was eight o'clock in the evening, and it was quite dark outside. I watched TV while keeping an eye out for any sounds from across the hall, still feeling uneasy about Ruolan.

"Knock, knock, knock." The knocking made me jump up from the sofa. I thought it was Ruolan returning and ran to open the door. But when the door opened and I saw the person standing there, I froze, my eyes fixed on her, completely unaware that my face looked ferocious, as if I wanted to devour her.

Standing before me were two women, specifically a woman around forty years old and a girl of seventeen or eighteen. The woman had a beautiful face, fair and delicate skin, and a voluptuous figure. She wore a black suit with a white vest over it, a glittering gold necklace peeking out from her neck, and the shape of a jade bracelet visible on her wrist as she carried a small black handbag.

She exuded an air of elegance and nobility. In contrast, the girl standing next to her, who looked very similar, gave off a completely different vibe. Her multicolored, messy hair was dizzying enough, but her outfit was even less flattering. Although both were black, the impressions were worlds apart: a black t-shirt under a black leather jacket, a knee-length black leather skirt, and black boots that almost reached her knees—she was a total hottie.

"Excuse me, are you Mr. Liu Yulin?" It's true what they say, enemies meeting are bound to be furious, and that's exactly how I felt. Perhaps startled by my murderous expression, the woman unconsciously took a step back before asking somewhat nervously.

"Yes, that's me. Come in, Mrs. Mei, Miss Mei." I suppressed my anger and stepped aside to let them in. I would recognize these two even if they were burned to ashes, because they were none other than Jiang Ruixiang, the wife of Mei Tenglong, the boss of the "Tenglong Group," and her daughter, Mei Yuqing, whom I believed to be the murderer who killed Ling.

"Mr. Liu, how do you know us?" Jiang Ruixiang asked hurriedly as soon as she entered the room.

I slammed the door shut, ignoring her question, and instead stared at Mei Yuqing, who was pouting and secretly eyeing me, and coldly asked, "Tell me, was it you? Was it you who hit and killed my wife? Tell me! Why won't you speak?" I knew my expression must have looked terrifying. Mei Yuqing's face turned deathly pale, and she timidly hid behind her mother.

"Mr. Liu, please wait a moment." A soft voice brought me back to my senses, which had been clouded by anger and hatred. I fixed my gaze on Jiang Ruixiang's face.

Perhaps unable to withstand my intense gaze, Jiang Ruixiang lowered her head and said softly, "I was wondering how to bring this up, but now it seems unnecessary. I think you already know. It was my daughter, Yuqing, who hit your wife that day, and it was me who took her to the hospital?" I glared at Mei Yuqing, who was hiding behind Jiang Ruixiang, and nodded resentfully.

Jiang Ruixiang sighed softly, then continued, "After the incident, Yuqing's father used his connections to have the traffic police suppress the case. I don't know how you found my daughter Yuqing, but none of that matters now. To be honest, Yuqing and I haven't slept well a single night since it happened. Every time I close my eyes, the scene from that day flashes before my eyes. I'm not saying this to ask for your forgiveness; I know the harm we've caused you and your family is irreparable. The reason we're here today is because we feel we can no longer run away."

"Oh, so you're facing reality? Then tell me, what are you planning to do?" I said coldly, my face ashen, my voice laced with sarcasm.

“Teacher Liu, I know the pain of losing a loved one is something that nothing can make up for, not even money. But besides money, I don’t know what else I can do for you,” Jiang Ruixiang said apologetically. Then she took out a check from her small bag and handed it to me. “Teacher Liu, here’s some money. I hope you can accept it. Except for sending my daughter to jail, which I cannot agree to, I will try my best to meet any other requests you may have.”

“Oh? Two million? The Mei family is really generous. In the eyes of you rich people, is a human life only worth two million? I don’t want money. I want you to give Ling back to me.” I looked at the mother and daughter in front of me with a cold smile. The hatred and anger made me lose my mind. I threw the check at Jiang Ruixiang’s face.

"Don't go too far..." Seeing her mother being humiliated, Mei Yuqing was also enraged. She suddenly stepped between her mother and me, yelling at me, "It's not like my mother killed your wife! What are you doing, yelling at my mother? Come at me if you dare! Look at you! It's not that I look down on you, but you could teach your whole life and still not earn two million. What more could you want? You should thank your good wife, otherwise where would you get those two million?"

A crisp "slap" rang out. Unable to contain my anger any longer, I slapped Mei Yuqing hard across the face. The slap was exhilarating and satisfying; the sound of my hand hitting her cheek was crisp and pleasant, the echo lingering. Looking at Mei Yuqing, who was covering her face and staring blankly at me, my anger became even more uncontrollable.

"So what if I don't have money? I'm still doing just fine, aren't I? I don't steal or rob, I'm honest and upright, and I don't see anything wrong with that. Your family is rich, so what? You didn't earn that money, so what are you so smug about? If it weren't for your dad's stinking money, you'd be a prostitute by now. Oh, I misspoke, with your character, no one would even want you as a prostitute." Even I couldn't believe that I, who was always so humble, could say such vicious things. Was this really the same Liu Yulin who was a role model for students?

"You bastard...you..." Mei Yuqing trembled with anger, then stomped her foot, turned around, opened the door, covered her face, and ran out. Jiang Ruixiang called her name from behind, but she didn't stop.

"Sigh..." Jiang Ruixiang sighed, looking at me with a sorrowful expression. "Teacher Liu, I don't blame you. It's all my daughter Yuqing's fault. Sigh, I don't want to say anything more, I just want to tell you that Yuqing isn't actually like what you see today. She's actually a good girl, but this whole thing is driving her crazy."

"Speaking of which, it was destined that something would happen that day. I asked her to come with me to buy clothes, but who would have thought that we'd run into her brother and his mistress in the store. Yuqing has always disliked her brother's coldness towards his sister-in-law, so she started arguing with him right there in the store. After the argument, she stormed out, and I was afraid something bad would happen, so I rushed out after her. And sure enough, something bad did happen."

“Actually, Yuqing was very remorseful and guilty afterward, and hasn’t dared to drive for over a month. Teacher Liu, I’m really sorry about today, please forgive me. I was worried about the girl, so I can’t talk to you much today. I’ll bring her to apologize to you another day. Oh, I almost forgot, I’ll leave you my phone number, you can contact me if you need anything…”

“Uh…” I opened my mouth, but didn’t know what to say. My raised hand paused in mid-air before I dejectedly lowered it. I shook my head, thinking to myself, what’s going on today? I’ve been racking my brains for days without coming up with a way to get revenge, but today my enemy has come to me, and I’ve lost my mind and composure all of a sudden. Sigh.

I closed the door dejectedly, picked up the two million check from the floor, and was about to tear it up when the images of Liu Yuyi and Lin Yashi flashed through my mind, and I stopped tearing the money.

I sat blankly on the sofa, staring at the huge check in my hand, my mind completely empty. I didn't even hear the news about Shenzhou V on TV. I don't know how much time passed before the chiming of the wall clock suddenly startled me awake. I looked up and realized I'd been lost in thought for hours; it was already midnight.

I suddenly realized Ruolan hadn't returned yet, and my heart pounded. I silently prayed, "Ruolan, Ruolan, please don't let anything happen to you. How can I explain this to Sister Yumei?"

"Ring...ring...ring..." The sudden ringing of the phone startled me, and then I immediately realized it was Ruolan calling. I eagerly picked up the phone, but Zhang Yijing's voice came through: "Uncle Liu, it's Yijing. You're still awake, aren't you?"

I couldn't help but sigh, somewhat disappointed, and said, "Yijing, it's you. I'm not asleep yet. What's wrong?"

"Oh, Uncle Liu, it's like this. A young woman got drunk in my bar and started making a scene, chasing all my customers away. She was also muttering your name, Uncle Liu. Could you come and take a look? Maybe she's someone you know."

Hearing Zhang Yijing's words, I instinctively thought of Ruolan, so I quickly said, "Yijing, don't let her leave. I'm coming right away." I hung up the phone, grabbed a coat, put it on, and ran out, my tense nerves relaxing a little.

As I hurried towards the bar, I saw Zhang Yijing standing outside from afar. Seeing me, she came over and asked anxiously, "Uncle Liu, who is that girl?"

"Oh, she's your Aunt Mei's daughter, Ruolan. She was falsely accused of theft at school and expelled. She just got back today," I explained simply to Zhang Yijing. She said "Oh," and didn't say anything more, walking with me into the bar.

The bar was empty except for a girl slumped over a table in the corner. I looked closer and was startled. Zhang Yijing, standing beside me, asked in a low voice, "Uncle Liu, what's wrong?"

"She's not Ruolan." Yes, she wasn't Zhu Ruolan, but Mei Yuqing, the girl I'd slapped not long ago. What was she doing here? Zhang Yijing asked in surprise, "Ah? Then who is she? Uncle Liu, do you know her?"

I nodded, a wicked thought flashing through my mind, but I quickly dismissed it. I looked up and asked, "Yijing, where's the phone? I want to make a call."

"Oh, the phone's behind the bar." I went to the phone behind the bar, took out the number Jiang Ruixiang had given me, and dialed it.

Almost as soon as I dialed the number, Jiang Ruixiang's anxious voice came through the phone: "Hello, who is this? What's wrong?"

"Mrs. Mei, it's me."

Jiang Ruixiang clearly recognized my voice and said anxiously, "Oh, it's Teacher Liu! What's wrong? I'm so worried! I don't know where Yuqing has gone."

"Oh, she's drunk at the little bar next to the school. Please come quickly." I said bluntly, because I understood Jiang Ruixiang's anxiety as a mother.

Jiang Ruixiang's surprised voice came from the other end of the phone: "Ah, what? Teacher Liu, thank you so much! I'll drive over right away."

I easily let go of a perfect opportunity for revenge. I hung up the phone and walked to Mei Yuqing, who was asleep on the table, looking at the five faint handprints on her face with a complicated expression.

Zhang Yijing sighed softly, "Sigh... Uncle Liu, look, the handprint on this girl's face is still clearly visible. They really hit her hard. No wonder she couldn't think straight. Sigh, who could be so cruel?"

I turned my head, staring intently at Zhang Yijing, and expressionlessly spat out two words through gritted teeth: "It was me."

Zhang Yijing gasped in surprise, immediately realizing something was wrong, and covered her mouth with her hand, staring at me incredulously.

I ignored her, turning back to look at Mei Yuqing, who was slumped over the table, silently asking myself, "Is this the result I wanted? Then why don't I feel any satisfaction?"

Seeing my unpleasant expression, Zhang Yijing obediently didn't press the matter further, only curiously glancing at me and then at Mei Yuqing, a big question mark written on her forehead.

A hush fell over the bar. Time ticked by in this somewhat eerie atmosphere. Twenty minutes later, a Polo pulled up in front of the bar. Jiang Ruixiang got out and ran into the bar. Seeing Mei Yuqing slumped over the table, she let out a long sigh of relief before turning to greet me and Zhang Yijing, slightly out of breath: "Teacher Liu, and this young lady, thank you so much! I've been looking for her like crazy." Seeing

my cold expression and silence, Zhang Yijing smiled and said to Jiang Ruixiang, "Auntie, you don't need to say anything. Just take this young lady home quickly; she's had quite a bit to drink today."

"Oh, okay, okay, I'll take her home now." Jiang Ruixiang didn't bother to say anything more and went behind Mei Yuqing to wake her: "Girl, wake up, we're going home."

"Hmm, I haven't had enough sleep yet, don't bother me." Still half-asleep, Mei Yuqing didn't even open her eyes and brushed away Jiang Ruixiang's hand.

"Sigh, this girl's completely drunk." Jiang Ruixiang gave Zhang Yijing and me a wry smile, then reached out to help Mei Yuqing up, but Mei Yuqing clearly had no intention of leaving the table and wouldn't cooperate at all, instead clinging to it with both hands. Jiang Ruixiang and Zhang Yijing tried several times, but to no avail, and were sweating with anxiety.

"Let me help," I finally couldn't stand it anymore and said in a muffled voice.

"Thank you so much," Jiang Ruixiang said gratefully, stepping aside.

I walked over to Mei Yuqing and roughly pulled the table in front of her aside, lifting her from her chair. Without support, Mei Yuqing swayed unsteadily, pointing at me groggily and saying, "Who...are you?...Why...why...won't...let...me...sleep..."

I ignored her and instead said to Jiang Ruixiang, who was standing nearby, "Madam Mei, please open the car door. I'll carry her out."

"Oh, okay, okay, thank you for your trouble." Jiang Ruixiang thanked me and hurried out.

I then said to Zhang Yijing, "Yijing, I'll see this young lady out. You should close the door and rest early."

Seeing Zhang Yijing nod, I didn't waste any more words. I turned around and scooped Mei Yuqing up in my arms. Sigh, this girl is really heavy! But she still didn't know what was good for her, pounding on me with her little fists: "Hey...who...are you...? Hurry up...put me...down...or...I'll...scream...for...molestation..."

Molestation? Seeing Zhang Yiqing covering her mouth and snickering, the veins on my forehead bulged. I really wanted to throw her to the ground. But that was just a thought. At this moment, she was just a drunk girl. Even if I had an irreconcilable hatred for her, I couldn't do anything to her at this time. A gentleman has things he will do and things he won't do, although I might not be a gentleman.

I carried Mei Yuqing to the outside of the bar. Jiang Ruixiang was already waiting in the car. I didn't say much and carried Mei Yuqing to the back seat. I was about to put her down to lie down when she wrapped her arms around me tightly and murmured, "Hmm, don't go. Let me lean on you and sleep for a while. I'll pay you back later, lots and lots of money..."

"Sigh, this child..." Jiang Ruixiang rubbed her hands and sighed.

I shook my head helplessly and said, "Alright, alright, Madam, I'll just take her home. You can drive."

"Then... I really don't know what to say. This child has caused you so much pain, and you still..." Jiang Ruixiang trailed off.

I said impatiently, "I just don't want to argue with a drunk person, but I won't let my wife's matter rest." Jiang Ruixiang sighed, said nothing more, started the car, and drove off.

Neither of us wanted to talk the whole way, and the atmosphere in the car was somewhat awkward. Only Mei Yuqing, leaning against my chest, slept soundly, a sweet smile on her face. This was the first time I had ever seen her smile, and it was an innocent, radiant smile. The moonlight streaming through the car window shone on her face, as if shrouding her smile in a mysterious light. I was momentarily stunned.

"Teacher Liu, we've arrived." Jiang Ruixiang's voice rang in my ears, and I suddenly snapped out of it, realizing that the car had stopped in front of a villa, and Jiang Ruixiang had already opened the car door for me.

I moved my arm, which was numb from being pressed down by Mei Yuqing's body, and picked her up, still fast asleep, as I stepped out of the car. Oh, the October night wind was really chilly; I couldn't help but shiver. Mei Yuqing, who was in my arms, was also startled awake. She opened her mouth as if to say something, but suddenly, a gust of cold wind blew, and she suddenly "whooshed" and threw herself on top of me, vomiting violently. Naturally, we were both inevitably covered in vomit. I was so angry; I really wanted to just throw her on the ground.

"Oh dear, why is this girl vomiting?" Jiang Ruixiang exclaimed, then hurriedly opened the door and beckoned to me, "Teacher Liu, quickly bring the girl in. You've really had a hard time today." Finally, Mei Yuqing stopped vomiting. Smelling the sour smell all over me, I almost couldn't help but vomit myself. I quickly carried Mei Yuqing and followed Jiang Ruixiang into the house.

"Mom, why are you back so late? What happened to my sister? And who is this gentleman…?" A young woman in pajamas came down the stairs. Upon seeing me, a man, her face immediately turned bright red. She said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I need to go upstairs and change…" I recognized her; she was Mo Yuqing, Mei Yuqing's sister-in-law. I had seen her picture in the newspaper.

"Yuqing, don't change. Quickly take Yuqing from this Teacher Liu. She's drunk and vomited all over herself…" Jiang Ruixiang stopped Mo Yuqing from going upstairs to change, then asked, "Haven't your father and Tianpeng come back yet?"

"No, they won't be back tonight," Mo Yuqing replied, blushing slightly as she walked up to me and took Mei Yuqing from my arms.

Jiang Ruixiang said indignantly, "Like father, like son. These two are the same, always out fooling around, neglecting their wives and children."

Hearing Jiang Ruixiang say this, I wasn't surprised at all. These days, which rich man doesn't indulge in debauchery? Rich men keep mistresses and concubines, while rich women keep gigolos and lovers. That's just how society is. How could wealthy men like Mei Tenglong and Mei Yunpeng, with their hundreds of millions in assets, not have affairs?

"Oh, look at me, I completely forgot about Teacher Liu," Jiang Ruixiang said, somewhat embarrassed. "I'm sorry you had to see this. You're covered in the girl's vomit. Let me take you to take a bath and change into clean clothes." I wanted to refuse, but the sour smell on my clothes made me nauseous, so I agreed.

Sigh, rich people are just different. At home, I'm already quite content with just a shower. Look at their homes, they have countless bathrooms, not to mention the amenities. Take this bathtub I'm lying in right now, for example—it's so big it could easily fit four or five people at the same time. Lying in it, the hot water is flowing freely, it's incredibly comfortable. Lying in the tub, I can reach the phone hanging on the wall, and without even looking up, I can see the TV screen embedded in the opposite wall. Rich people really know how to enjoy life.

Just as I was lying in the bathtub, marveling at this, the bathroom door suddenly opened, and someone walked in. I looked up, and my eyes almost popped out of my head in shock.

It was Jiang Ruixiang, and she was only wrapped in a white bath towel, with half of her breasts exposed. Seeing my surprised look, she smiled shyly, then reached out and pulled off the bath towel, revealing a voluptuous body before me: high breasts, fair skin, a smooth abdomen, long, slender legs, snow-white buttocks, a dark forest of pubic hair, and a pink vulva… Oh, my breath almost stopped, and my mind went blank.

“Teacher Liu, you must be very lonely after your wife passed away, right?” Jiang Ruixiang’s face was flushed with an intoxicating blush, her shy and alluring expression even more captivating. As she spoke, she had already walked to the edge of the bathtub, about to step into it. Suddenly, a flash of clarity struck me, and I sat up abruptly in the bathtub, pushing Jiang Ruixiang away. Caught off guard, she fell onto the slightly slippery marble floor, staring at me in astonishment.

I turned my head away from her, muttering angrily, "What kind of person do you take me for? I'm not your gigolo." Stories of wealthy wives keeping gigolos were frequently reported in tabloids, so this thought immediately popped into my head. My previous good impression of her vanished, and for a moment I felt utterly disgusted.

"Gigolo?" Jiang Ruixiang was taken aback, then suddenly burst into tears. "Teacher Liu… I know you must think… I'm a promiscuous, shameless, lowly woman… because my husband is cheating on me… so I couldn't bear the loneliness… I had an affair… and seduced you… Actually, I'm not a bad woman… I just wanted to compensate you with my body… to make you let Yuqing go… I didn't mean anything else… Waaah…"

Looking at Jiang Ruixiang sitting on the ground, crying pitifully, I felt a pang of sorrow. So that's what she thought. I had misjudged her. I grabbed a bath towel and wrapped it around myself, stepping out of the bathtub to pull Jiang Ruixiang, who was sitting on the floor, to her feet. I covered her exposed body with the towel and apologized, "I'm sorry, I misunderstood you. Please don't cry anymore."

"Wah..." Jiang Ruixiang suddenly threw herself into my arms, hugging me tightly and crying even harder. I understood her feelings and the grievances she had suffered, so I didn't push her away but gently patted her back. After learning why she had seduced me earlier, I not only didn't look down on her, but I also respected her; she was indeed a great mother. Although her actions might have crossed the line of conventional morality, her intentions were worthy of everyone's respect.

Perhaps it was my soft heart, but Jiang Ruixiang's sobbing pained me, and my hands, acting on impulse, did something that surprised even myself. First, I reached out to help her up from my arms, then I reached out my right hand and lifted her chin, bringing her tear-streaked face close to my eyes.

Jiang Ruixiang seemed startled, stopping her crying. Her slightly swollen eyes looked at me with a hint of shyness. Under my burning gaze, her delicate face flushed red, her eyes closed, but her cherry lips parted slightly and tilted upwards.

At that moment, I lost my mind, lowering my head to kiss those alluring cherry lips fiercely. A sweet fragrance instantly filled my mouth, and I was intoxicated. My hands tightly embraced her waist and hips, pressing her voluptuous body against mine.

Jiang Ruixiang's body instantly became hot, her pair of fair and delicate arms tightly encircling my neck, and her sweet and soft tongue willingly entered my mouth. I felt every cell in my body become excited. One hand, through the bath towel, roughly kneaded her full buttocks, while the other hand slipped between our bodies, grasping and kneading her high and soft breasts.

"Mmm...hum..." Jiang Ruixiang passionately kissed me, her breath coming in short gasps, her face flushed. One hand was around my neck, while the other stroked down my chest and abdomen, then slipped through the gap in the towel and grabbed my already erect penis. The cool sensation from below instantly brought me back to my senses. I pushed Jiang Ruixiang away, panting. She stared at me in astonishment, then said resentfully, "You...you despise me?"

"No...I'm sorry...I can't..." I turned my head to the side, panting heavily, "While I, Liu Yulin, may not be a gentleman, I'm certainly not a villain. You are a married woman, I can't do something like this, taking advantage of your vulnerability. Besides, I already have someone I love, I can't do anything that would betray her or you."

"I understand, it's my fault. I'll go out now, my clothes are by the door." Jiang Ruixiang said, covering her face and running out.

My heart was heavy. If she weren't married, even with Sister Yumei in the picture, I might have taken her right there and then. But unfortunately, she was married. Regardless of whether her husband treated her well or badly, I couldn't have an affair with her while he was away. That's a principle of mine. Some might think I'm old-fashioned, but I don't think that way. There's an old saying, "He who defiles another's wife and daughter will be defiled by others."

After soaking in the hot bath for a long time, my restless little brother finally calmed down. I dried myself off and changed into the clothes Jiang Ruixiang had prepared for me. I realized the clothes fit perfectly; they seemed to be her son Mei Yunpeng's clothes, because I had seen photos of the father and son, and Mei Yunpeng's build seemed similar to mine.

The living room was quiet. Jiang Ruixiang and Mo Yuqing, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, were probably upstairs taking care of Mei Yuqing. I sighed, not intending to say goodbye, and opened the living room door to leave. I heard Mo Yuqing's voice from the stairs: "Mr. Liu, are you leaving?"

"Yes." Seeing Mo Yuqing come downstairs, having changed out of her pajamas and into casual clothes, I stood at the door without going any further. While she was going down the stairs, I carefully observed this eldest daughter-in-law of the Mei family. Hmm, oval face, phoenix eyes, willow-leaf eyebrows, a delicate nose and white teeth, flowing hair, and a graceful figure—truly a classic beauty. However, the lingering sorrow and resentment on her face made her seem somewhat pitiful. Alas, another resentful woman from a prominent family.

"Teacher Liu, let me see you out." Mo Yuqing escorted me to the gate of the villa. She had originally intended to drive me home, but I declined. As we parted, she hesitated for a long time before saying softly to me, "Teacher Liu, my mother-in-law is a very pitiful person. You really hurt her feelings today."

I remained silent for a while, then asked in return, "Miss, please put yourself in my shoes. What do you think I should do?"

Mo Yuqing was silent for a long time, then sighed dejectedly, "Teacher Liu, I am deeply sorry for the immense pain my younger sister has caused you and your family. To be honest, I can't escape responsibility either. If it weren't for me, she wouldn't have argued with her brother, and she wouldn't have caused this disaster. So I hope you can forgive my younger sister. If you have any other requests, we will do our best to fulfill them."

I remained silent for a long time, then shook my head and said, "To be honest, I am very reluctant to accept your money, but someone desperately needs money to escape their predicament, so I will accept the two million. I will not pursue this matter any further. However, I hope you can use your money to do more good deeds. There are many people in this society who need help."

"Teacher Liu, don't worry, my mother-in-law and I will definitely follow your advice and do more good deeds." Mo Yuqing seemed very happy to hear that I promised not to cause trouble for Mei Yuqing anymore. After saying goodbye to her, I slowly walked back alone, my mind filled with many thoughts. It felt like I was finally relieved, yet I also felt sorry for Ling. Was I too soft-hearted? After Jiang Ruixiang and Mo Yuqing's quarrel, I couldn't bring myself to pursue Mei Yuqing any further. Oh well, I think if Ling knew my situation, she would understand me.

The journey by car was only about twenty minutes, but walking would take more than an hour. I walked alone on the street, my mind constantly flashing through various thoughts. More than an hour passed quickly, yet slowly. Before I knew it, I had entered the familiar campus. The campus, which was bustling during the day, was now completely silent, without a single light around. I estimated that it was almost three in the morning, and everyone was asleep.

"...Take me to get some fresh air...get some fresh air..." A broken, off-key song drifted in the night breeze, and it sounded like a girl's voice. Could it be a ghost? I immediately found it amusing. I listened intently and realized the song seemed to be coming from a corner of the playground. By the moonlight, I slowly followed the sound. The sound grew closer and clearer.

Wait, there seems to be a dark, blurry thing on the ping-pong table over there; the voice seems to be coming from there. Full of suspicion, I walked over, and suddenly the voice sounded familiar. My head buzzed—wasn't that Ruolan's voice?

"Ruolan..." I felt something choke me, my vision blurred, and tears almost welled up. Sure enough, it was Ruolan lying on the ping-pong table, humming an off-key song. As soon as I approached her, a strong smell of alcohol hit me, making me wrinkle my nose. I reached out to help her up. "Ruolan, what happened to you? Why are you all drunk here?"

"Who is it? Oh, Uncle Liu, it's you. I'm not drunk." Hmm, this girl is so drunk and still says she's not drunk. But she can still recognize me, which means she's actually somewhat sober.

I helped her off the ping-pong table and said irritably, "Still saying you're not drunk? If you weren't drunk, why were you lying on the ping-pong table in the middle of the night? Come on, let me help you back." "

Uncle Liu, I really'm not drunk. It's cool here." Ruolan is really stubborn. Her hands are freezing cold. What if she gets sick from the cold? I didn't argue with her. I half-carried, half-supported her, helping her stumble towards the teachers' dormitory. A weight was lifted from my heart; after all, she was just drunk and hadn't done anything more outrageous. Otherwise, I really wouldn't have been able to explain it to Sister Yumei. We

were almost at the door when Ruolan suddenly hiccuped, a strong smell of alcohol emanating from her mouth. Before I could even wrinkle my nose, she vomited. I couldn't dodge in time, and this was the second time tonight I'd been vomited from being drunk. Good heavens, which deity did I offend to have to make me vomit twice in one night? What bad luck!

When Mei Yuqing vomited while I was holding her, I wanted to throw her to the ground, but now that I'm supporting Ruolan, I didn't dare have that thought, especially since Ruolan apologized to me: "I'm...I'm sorry...Uncle Liu..."

"You've already vomited, what's there to apologize for?" I said irritably, helping the slightly unsteady Ruolan towards the stairs: "Be careful." Whew, I finally got this girl to the door. She was somewhat conscious just now, but after vomiting, she seemed to have no strength left, and I practically carried her upstairs. After I put Ruolan by the door, opened it, turned on the light, and came out again, I found that this girl was fast asleep against the door. I tried to call her a few times, but she didn't respond at all; it seemed the alcohol was taking effect.

I shook my head with a wry smile, carried Ruolan into the house, and seeing that both of us were covered in filth, I didn't dare put her on the bed. Instead, I made her stand up and took off her clothes. Of course, she couldn't be completely naked, but she was only wearing a black bra and white panties. I went to the bathroom, wrung out a hot towel, and wiped her face and body before carrying her to bed and settling her in. Throughout the process, I almost kept my eyes glued to her, but I still "accidentally" glanced at her a few times.

To be honest, Ruolan's figure was even better than her mother's; her breasts were no less impressive than her mother's, but even more beautifully shaped; her figure was longer and more graceful than Yumei's; what I couldn't stand the most was her panties, which were so small they were almost invisible, with a dent in the middle, revealing a hint of cleavage, and a few black pubic hairs peeking out from the edge, making my blood boil. However, in my heart, I considered Ruolan as my own daughter, so although my heart fluttered slightly, I managed to maintain my composure.

After settling Ruolan in, I took a shower and changed into clean clothes. By the time I was all settled, it was already 3:30 in the morning. Because I was worried about Ruolan, I didn't go back to my own home to sleep. Instead, I wrapped myself in a blanket and made do on the sofa in Sister Yumei's living room.

Sure enough, I had only dozed off for a short while when I heard Ruolan mumbling in her bedroom that she wanted water. I had no choice but to serve her water, even though she was still somewhat delirious. When I was drunk, her mother, Sister Yumei, must have taken care of me in the same way. Now it was my turn to take care of her daughter. What a coincidence!

After Ruolan finished drinking the water, I casually touched her forehead. My goodness, it was burning hot! This girl had gone to the playground in the middle of the night to catch a cold. No wonder she had a fever. I silently scolded her for not taking care of herself. I rushed home and rummaged through everything until I finally found some fever reducer. I gave Ruolan two pills and stayed by her bedside until her fever broke. As dawn broke, Ruolan's fever finally subsided, and I breathed a sigh of relief and returned to the living room.

Seeing that it was already getting light outside the window, I quickly dozed off. When I woke up again, it was already past six o'clock, so I hurriedly turned on the TV.

At 6:38 a.m., the image of the Shenzhou V return capsule carrying China's first astronaut, Yang Liwei, landing safely finally appeared on the TV screen, and my excitement returned. Watching astronaut Yang Liwei emerge from the return capsule and wave to the surrounding crowd, I couldn't help but think that if all of China's officials were like these quietly dedicated aerospace workers, how could China not become the world's leading power?

As the first rays of sunlight streamed through the window on October 16, 2003, the school began to buzz with noise. I got up and went downstairs to buy breakfast, then went to the bathroom to wash up. As I was brushing my teeth in front of the mirror, I suddenly heard Ruolan's voice behind me: "Mom, when did you get back?" I turned around in surprise and saw Ruolan wrapped in a towel, wiping her sleepy eyes. It seemed she had come to use the restroom.

"Ruolan, it's me. Your mom hasn't come back yet." Because of toothpaste foam in my mouth, my speech was a little unclear, but it was enough for Ruolan to tell that I wasn't her mother.

To my surprise, Ruolan suddenly clutched her hair and let out a sharp scream. The towel wrapped around her fell off, exposing her body, clad only in a bikini, to me. We were both stunned, staring at each other. After a while, Ruolan finally came to her senses, letting out another scream. Her face flushed red, she picked up the towel that had fallen to the ground and ran away. The girl had finally come to her senses.

I was also quite embarrassed, but then I thought about it and realized I hadn't had any impure thoughts, so I felt relieved. After I finished washing up, I knocked on her door and said, "Ruolan, get up and eat something."

Ruolan is usually quite outgoing, but she's really cute when she's shy. I had already finished breakfast when she finally came out, slowly getting dressed, her face as red as Guan Yu's.

I chuckled inwardly and told her aloud, "Your mother won't be back until the day after tomorrow (the 18th, Saturday). Don't go anywhere these two days; stay home and rest. You know, you scared Uncle Liu half to death last night. You had a high fever, and I had to give you two fever-reducing pills to bring it down. I told you this yesterday at noon, but you still didn't take my words to heart. I'm telling you today, so you really have to listen. You can't act so recklessly again, or your mother will definitely not let you off the hook when she gets back, understand?"

"Mmm," Ruolan murmured, blushing. This girl's shyness was really cute. Of course, I couldn't say that, or she would be even more embarrassed.

I stood up and said to her, "Breakfast is here, have some later. Let's wait for Uncle Liu to come back for lunch. I'll introduce you to two goddaughters; they're both good cooks, you'll definitely like them. Okay, I need to get ready for class now. If you feel bored, you can take a walk around campus. Oh, by the way, the owner of that little bar near the school is a girl in her twenties named Zhang Yijing. She's quite familiar with me and your mother; you can go chat with her."

"Okay, I know, you go ahead with your work," Ruolan replied, blushing, and saw me out.

When I returned home at noon, I was surprised to find Ruolan and Yijing chatting at home. Lin Yashi and Liang Xiaoyan were busy in the kitchen, while Ruolan, Yijing, and I chatted in the living room. Perhaps because of what happened last night, Ruolan blushed involuntarily when her eyes met mine, and Yijing seemed to know something, constantly making strange, gurgling noises. I chuckled and scolded, "Yi Jing, what are you laughing at, you silly girl? By the way, why aren't you doing business today? Did you just want to freeload a meal here?"

"Uncle Liu, look at you, as if I'd take advantage of you." Zhang Yi Jing wrinkled her cute little nose in dissatisfaction, then looked at me with a grin and asked, "Speaking of which, I did help you out last night, so it's only right that I get a meal here. By the way, Uncle Liu, what's the deal with that girl yesterday?"

I glanced at Zhang Yi Jing and Zhu Ruolan, who were listening intently, and shook my head with a wry smile. "If I don't tell you, you might get all sorts of dirty thoughts. To tell you the truth, that girl's name is Mei Yuqing, the daughter of Mei Tenglong, the boss of the 'Tenglong Group,' and that woman is Mei Tenglong's wife, Jiang Ruixiang. You might be wondering why I'm involved with them. You'll be shocked when I tell you, Mei Yuqing is the one who ran over and killed my wife that day. They came to apologize to me yesterday."

"Ah?" Not only did Zhang Yijing and Zhu Ruolan exclaim in surprise, but at the same time, two soft gasps came from the kitchen, accompanied by the sound of plates falling and shattering on the floor. I knew what had happened without even thinking, and I called out to the kitchen with a laugh, "You two little girls, you can't even concentrate on cooking! Your godfather doesn't have that many plates to break."

"Godfather, I'm admitting my mistake, okay? Why did you have to say it now of all times?" It was Liang Xiaoyan's voice; this girl certainly had a point.

I shook my head with a wry smile, then turned to Zhang Yijing and Zhu Ruolan, saying, "Now you won't be overthinking things anymore, right? Sigh, actually, I knew who the driver was before National Day, but I didn't expect them to come to my door and admit it themselves. It made things difficult for me to do anything to them."

"Uncle Liu, so you already knew it was Mei Tenglong's daughter who caused the accident. No wonder you seemed preoccupied during the National Day holiday," Zhang Yijing said with sudden realization. "Then Aunt Mei must have known for a long time too, right?"

I nodded, but before I could speak, Ruolan suddenly interjected, "Uncle Liu, why didn't you tell me you and my mother are together?"

I knew immediately that Zhang Yijing had told Ruolan about my relationship with Sister Yumei. I glanced at Zhang Yijing, but she misunderstood me, thinking I was blaming her for being nosy. So she apologized somewhat embarrassedly, "Uncle Liu, I didn't know you hadn't told Ruolan, so I let it slip..."

"Yijing, you misunderstood. I didn't mean to blame you." I smiled and said, "I didn't intend to hide this from anyone anyway. Ruolan, there are two reasons why I didn't tell you about this right away yesterday. First, you were in a really bad mood yesterday, and second, I planned to wait until your mother came back so she could tell you herself. I thought it would be easier for you two to communicate." I paused for a moment, then looked at Ruolan and said, "Ruolan, now that you know, Uncle Liu wants to ask for your opinion." "

Uncle Liu, of course I won't object. To be honest, I've always hoped that Mom could find someone else. As for whether you two get married or not, I don't think it's important. As long as you two are happy together, that's all that matters." Young people these days are much more open-minded, unlike us back then. Ruolan changed the subject, looking at me playfully, and said, "Then should I call you Dad?"

"Whatever you want. Like our Yingying, she always calls your mother Aunt Mei. Call her whatever you like." I smiled and said.

Ruolan tilted her head and thought for a moment, then said, "Then I'll still call you Uncle Liu. I've been calling you that for years, it's gotten used to. By the way, Uncle Liu, could you please not tell my mom about me getting drunk? I'm afraid she'll scold me."

"Now you're scared? What did I tell you yesterday at noon?" I said with a hint of reproach in my tone, "I still have to tell your mother about this. If she's going to scold you, then you deserve it. If I hadn't come back and happened to catch you yesterday, you would have gotten seriously ill from being out in the cold all night, it definitely wouldn't just be a fever." Ruolan lowered her head a little embarrassed and didn't argue with me anymore.

Seeing that Ruolan had already shown remorse, I couldn't bear to scold her further, so I said, "Ruolan, put all the unpleasant things behind you, take a couple of days to rest, and we'll discuss your next steps after your mother comes back. By the way, Ruolan, what did you study in university?"

"I studied International Finance and Trade, and this is my final year before graduation." Ruolan's eyes reddened again, clearly indicating that her experiences at university would continue to haunt her for some time to come. But honestly, anyone in her situation would find it hard to swallow their anger.

"Ruolan, don't dwell on it. Those who harm others will ultimately harm themselves," I comforted her gently, then asked, "Ruolan, do you know how to trade stocks?"

The two million yuan Jiang Ruixiang and her daughter gave me isn't a huge amount, but it's not a small amount either; it depends on what you do with it. If you just want to live comfortably, then of course you won't have to worry about the rest of your life. But I wouldn't think that way, because this money is essentially Ling's life-saving money. If I don't use it to do something meaningful, I'd be letting Ling down in the afterlife. However, if I want to build a career, this amount is too little, so I have to make it grow. Stock trading is certainly a good way to increase money, as long as you're good at it.

"Although I haven't traded stocks myself, many of my classmates do. We usually study the day's stock market together when we have free time, so I'm quite familiar with the stock trading process." After Ruolan finished answering me, she asked curiously, "Uncle Liu, why did you suddenly ask about this?"

"Oh, nothing, I was just asking." Before discussing it with Sister Yumei, I decided not to reveal my thoughts for the time being, nor did I mention the two million yuan to the girls. While we were chatting, the two young cooks had already prepared our lunch: four dishes and a soup, a good mix of meat and vegetables. It was quite delicious, and I naturally had to praise it. Zhang Yijing and Zhu Ruolan, the two older sisters, also gave it high praise, which made Liang Xiaoyan and Lin Yashi very happy.

During the meal, Lin Yashi said to me, "Godfather, my mom said she'd like to invite you to dinner tomorrow. Are you going?"

"Yes, of course!" I readily agreed. I was just thinking of finding an opportunity to visit their house and give them some money. Now that I suddenly had two million yuan, I could easily help them pay off the thirty thousand yuan they still owed. It was time for them, mother and daughter, to live a more comfortable life. However, I was a little puzzled as to why her mother suddenly wanted to invite me to dinner. So I asked, "Ya Shi, why did your mother suddenly decide to invite me to dinner?"

"Sigh, godfather, what's there to not understand? Last time you finally managed to have a meal at our house, and all you got was cabbage. Mom regretted it for a long time and kept nagging me about it. So this time, Mom prepared everything in advance before inviting you. It's just a small token of our appreciation; otherwise, we'd feel a bit guilty." Ya Shi's words were perfectly reasonable, and I nodded in agreement.

Ya Shi glanced at Zhang Yijing and Zhu Ruolan before continuing, "I should have invited both of you sisters to come along, but Godfather knows our house is tiny; if more people came, there wouldn't even be room to stand, so..."

"Hey, Ya Shi, you're overthinking it. Would your sister Yijing and I be jealous of a meal?" Zhu Ruolan said with a coquettish smile, "I've heard about your family's situation from Yijing; it's really tough on you."

Ya Shi shook her head and smiled sweetly, "It's not that tough, especially with kind people like Godfather helping us."

Liang Xiaoyan, standing nearby, suddenly pouted and said to me somewhat unhappily, "Godfather, when will you come to my house? My mother really wants to meet you."

I chuckled and reached out to pat her head, saying, "What's wrong? Even this has to be a competition? But you're right, I haven't met your mother yet. I'll find another opportunity to visit your family."

"Godfather, it's settled then. I'll talk to Mom later." Liang Xiaoyan immediately perked up again, her face beaming with a radiant smile.

The next day (the 17th) afternoon, after school, I returned home and had just finished speaking with Ruolan when Yashi came to find me to go home with her. I picked up a box of mooncakes that I had prepared beforehand and said to Yashi, "Yashi, I forgot about this when I visited your house last time. These are mooncakes that the school gave out for the Mid-Autumn Festival. We ate the ones your Aunt Mei gave us. I forgot about this box because it was in the cupboard. Take it back and share it with your mother. I guess you probably didn't even get to eat mooncakes during the Mid-Autumn Festival."

"Yeah, I haven't eaten mooncakes for years." Yashi didn't refuse and took the mooncake box, putting it in her schoolbag. She carried a rather large schoolbag, so putting a box of mooncakes in it wasn't a problem at all. Actually, this box of mooncakes wasn't simple. It was unusual because besides the mooncakes, there was also an envelope containing 50,000 yuan. I only came up with this idea after seeing the mooncake box; 50,000 yuan in an envelope would be quite conspicuous if carried around.

Ya Shi and I took the bus to her house. Although her house was only a few kilometers from the school, the bus ride took forty minutes. Fortunately, QH City is only a small to medium-sized city, so buses aren't usually too crowded, unlike in big cities like Beijing and Shanghai where people are crammed like sardines.

I'd been to Ya Shi's house several times before, so this time I knew the way well. When I saw Ya Shi's mother again, she seemed to be in much better spirits than the last time I visited. Ya Shi told me that she was now working as a sales clerk in a supermarket.

"Teacher Liu, please come in. I was wondering why you weren't back yet!" Ya Shi's mother, Liu Yuyi, saw Ya Shi and me and quickly led me into the house. Once inside, she busied herself pouring me water, and I didn't want to refuse her, so I let her continue.

Ya Shi put down her schoolbag, took out a box of mooncakes, and handed it to her, saying, "Mom, these are mooncakes Dad brought."

"Uh, Teacher Liu, why did you bring something?" Liu Yuyi said with a hint of reproach.
