"Uh..." Teacher Deng looked at Xiaolan again and shook his head slowly, "I don't seem to have...Have classmate Liao seen me?"
"I just came to ask you because I forgot." Xiaolan said and walked into the room, being careful not to let the Taoist priest at the door hear what he said.
"This must be the first time I've met classmate Liao." Teacher Deng said softly.
"Didn't I go to school here?" Xiaolan asked next.
"Absolutely not," Teacher Deng looked more seriously, "I remember all the children who studied here. Did Mr. Liao remember the wrong school?"
Haven't you been here before?
Then when he went out of bounds, he really saw it wrong?
Or is that just an illusion?
Seeing Xiaolan lost in thought, Teacher Deng said softly, "Perhaps Liao's parents came to us for consultation and then chose another school?"
Eh?
To be honest, I only saw the woman leading him to the front desk.
"Then the sister at the front desk should have seen me before," Xiaolan said.
"In this case, the teacher at the consultation desk should have seen you," Teacher Deng said patiently, "but our current consultation teacher has just taken up the post this year. If Liao came here for consultation before, she doesn't know."
Judging from the way the sister at the front desk treated me, she didn't look like she had seen me before.
"Okay..." Xiaolan retreated to the door without interest and bowed to Teacher Deng, "Thank you, Teacher Deng, for your trouble."
When she turned around, Teacher Deng's soft call suddenly sounded.
"Classmate Liao!"
"Hey," Xiaolan agreed immediately, "Teacher?"
Teacher Deng walked out of her workstation and hurried to Xiaolan's side. She bent down and stuffed something into Xiaolan's hand.
"Although the teacher doesn't know why classmate Liao is unhappy, if you have something unhappy, remember to tell the people around you, okay?" Teacher Deng dusted Xiaolan's shoulders, "Friends, family, etc., of course.
Yes, it’s okay to tell Teacher Deng.”
Xiaolan lowered her head and looked at the chocolate gummy candy in her hand, feeling a warm current welling up in her chest.
She nodded heavily and left the office under Teacher Deng's kind eyes.
The Taoist priest was at the door, crossing his arms and staring at her.
"Explain it to yourself."
Teacher Deng should really be allowed to see what the Taoist looks like, this abnormal communication posture of coercion and inducement. Is this what a parent should look like?
After reading it, Teacher Deng may understand the source of Xiaolan's melancholy.
Xiaolan pulled the Taoist priest's sleeve and walked to the elevator. It was time for class and the corridor became quiet again. The two looked at each other speechlessly. Xiaolan pondered in her mind whether she should tell Taoist about this ridiculous thing.
long.
She spread her hands and stared at the gummies given to her by Teacher Deng.
well.
Anyway, it’s just a...
Xiaolan frowned and confessed everything.
The Taoist priest's eyes seemed to be blaming her for not confessing earlier.
"So you really went to the toilet for that long?"
"No," Xiaolan shrank her neck, "I'm hiding from you. I plan to wait until you come out and ask Teacher Deng alone."
The Taoist priest said, "It's true," and said, "It's okay, okay, otherwise I'd have to ask Xiaoyin to take you to the hospital for a checkup."
When it comes to embarrassing Xiaolan, her friends have always had a lot of experience.
When they arrived on the first floor, Xiaolan went straight to the exit, but the Taoist priest went to the front desk.
"Um?"
"Come here," the Taoist priest said, "Let's go to the front desk and ask."
Although Xiaolan didn't understand, she still followed him.
"Hello."
"Hello, Mr. Liao," the sister at the front desk put down the pen in her hand, "Have you finished communicating with Teacher Deng?"
"We had a great time chatting," the Taoist priest nodded slightly, "Thank you."
"You're welcome."
After saying the polite words, the girl looked at them and saw that they had no intention of leaving.
"Do you two need anything else?"
"We...don't we need to register?" The Taoist Master spread his hands, "I mean, as visitors, don't we need to record meeting information and the like?"
Xiaolan suddenly realized.
Oh...it turns out that this is what the Taoist priest had in mind.
"It's just a simple meeting between you two, so there's no need for it," the girl waved her hand, "If we are consulting on children's special circumstances, we will leave some records."
"That's right..." The Taoist Master nodded in understanding, then smiled and said, "Just right, then we don't need to write anything."
"Don't worry, you two, all registration here is electronic now. Our school has adopted all digital information a few years ago."
The girl introduced it proudly, as if she said between the lines, "Our school is ultra-modern and awesome."
The two learned the basic information about the school, thanked them and finally left.
"It's easy now," the Taoist priest said after leaving the school. "We just need to find someone to look up the previous information on the school's internal website."
Such an understatement.
It’s so easy to put this matter that is not only difficult, but also on the verge of illegality.
"But...we have to wait until we come down from the mountain," the Taoist priest lowered his head and looked at Xiaolan, "Can we wait a little longer?"
"It doesn't matter," Xiaolan felt a little embarrassed, "I don't know if this is true or not. Maybe I just saw it wrong."
Back at the hotel, the friends all expressed to Xiaolan that this kind of thinking was not advisable and that they should not give up even the slightest clue in the investigation of his life experience. The most important thing was that if Xiaolan really had any mental problems, they would be fine.
Watch out for her.
In Xiaolan's eyes, they got the takeout, and while eating the takeout, they brought the topic back to tomorrow's plan to go up the mountain.
"No one here knows there is a Fire Lotus Mountain," Qin Yin said while holding a bowl, "They only know that the large stretch of mountains used to be a scenic spot, and there was a peak in the middle that was on fire more than a year ago, and then
The entire mountain has turned into a barren mountain."
"This is normal," the fool held up the map, "Look, although Huolian Mountain is within Fengwu's territory, it is too far away from the settlement area here, and now it has become a barren mountain. Who cares?
"
"Are there no residents nearby now?" The Taoist priest looked at the navigation on Baomu's mobile phone.
"It seems... Anyway, the map shows that there are no businesses or residences nearby," Baomu flicked his phone flexibly, "There may be some residents on the mountain. It is impossible for there to be no one at all."
Xiaolan ate and sighed inexplicably, "I wonder what it has become like there."
The resentment of the flower branches and bushes has ended, but after a fire, I am afraid there will be more sadness floating in the sky of Huolian Mountain.
