The arrogance of the city

Chapter 1699 We Have Lived Before
"When Luoshen told me, I was really surprised. Why do you want to teach?"

On the campus of Renmin University of China, two men walked side by side.

The person on the left was on crutches, and his legs and feet were inconvenient. Of course, he was a little slow, while the other person walked side by side with him all the time, obviously slowing down on purpose.

"Mr. Cao."

"Mr. Cao."

"Mr. Cao."

……

Although physically disabled, the man on crutches obviously had a high reputation in the National People's Congress, and the passing students greeted him with respect.

Mr.

This is a respectful title for a person with profound knowledge.

Although the man who had just finished a profound law class was young, he had the title of honorary professor on his head since he entered the National People's University to teach.

Honorary professor.

As we all know, professors are already great, but you must know that there may only be one honorary professor out of a hundred professors.

What's more, this man is still so young.

"Otherwise, what should I do? I've been slacking off at home and waiting to die?"

The physically handicapped man smiled slightly.

"Instead of wasting my life in vain, it's better to use it to do something meaningful. Teaching and educating people can be regarded as a little contribution that I can make."

"Education is the foundation of a country, and this is not as simple as a little contribution."

The man next to him nodded.

"Why don't you say hello before you come?"

He laughed and said, "I'm not prepared at all, so I can only invite you to have a meal in the cafeteria."

The two talked and laughed happily, so that others may never imagine what kind of relationship they used to have.

"It looks like your leg is recovering well."

Li Futu's eyes fell, and he stayed on the opponent's right leg for a moment. He was very ignorant and suspected of exposing someone's scars, but the opponent was broad-minded and didn't care at all.

"You don't even look at how long it's been. All these years, Zishu and the doctor have been watching me for rehabilitation exercises. Two years ago, I could no longer use a wheelchair."

Leaning on crutches, although his walking speed was slower than ordinary people, Cao Xiuge smiled openly, and sighed: "It's just that it's impossible to fully recover."

"It's fine if you can walk. I thought you were pointing the country in a wheelchair."

"You didn't come here this time just to make fun of me, did you?"

Cao Xiuge smiled and looked at the man he hadn't seen in a few years, his eyes were very calm, and he couldn't see any resentment.

"Okay, the cafeteria is here."

The two walked into the cafeteria, Cao Xiuge swiped the meal card, and Li Futu brought the plate.

"Really plan to be a teacher here for the rest of your life?"

After finding a place to sit down, Li Futu opened his mouth, like a common gossip between friends.

"Is there anything wrong with living like this?"

Cao Xiuge put the cane on the side of the table.

"Being with these young people, you will be infected unconsciously, and feel that you are full of vitality."

"You mean, the girl just now?"

Li Futu asked with a smile.

Cao Xiuge glanced at him and couldn't help laughing.

"Don't talk nonsense, if your words get out, it will ruin her whole life. She is just a kind of respect to me."

This is not self-deception, but a kind of indifference that sees through the world.

From the prince of the Cao family to a teacher sitting in the cafeteria of the university, from power to the public to the disabled, he has experienced so many ups and downs, what else can stir his mood?

"You are teaching here not to cultivate ideals, but to puncture the illusions of many young girls."

Cao Xiuge shook his head and smiled, without further arguing, he lowered his head to eat.

Li Futu also picked up his chopsticks.

"By the way, why didn't Luoshen come here with you? It's been so many years since you disappeared, how can I put it this way, she should never want to leave you."

"She has something to do, and it's not when she was young. How could she be tired of being together all the time. You think we are still these students in school."

"You also know that you are not young anymore. You owe Luoshen too much, but you can spend more time to make up for her. After dinner, go back early."

"What about you?"

Li Futu asked back: "Have you never thought about getting married?"

Cao Xiuge was startled, then shook his head and smiled, his lips moved, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he just lowered his head and resumed eating without saying anything.

"This is not like Cao Xiuge in my impression. In the past, you were so ambitious that you had no time to distract yourself, but now."

Li Futu said softly: "You can't let people follow you with no name and status for the rest of your life, can you?"

Cao Xiuge paused with his chopsticks, raised his head, and said with a light smile, "I haven't seen you for a few years, but you have changed a lot. It's really unlikely that these words would come out of your mouth. Did Luoshen ask you to say them?"

Li Futu did not deny it.

"People don't mind, so why should you worry about it. You don't want to leave a lifetime of regrets, do you?"

Cao Xiuge smiled and asked, "Is there still a lifetime?"

Li Futu looked calm.

"Have you heard all about it?"

Cao Xiuge nodded slowly.

Although he cast off his wealth and splendor and became an ordinary university lecturer, it doesn't mean that he doesn't know anything about what happened in the court.

What's more, there is still such a huge movement.

Today, the first-level combat readiness order has been issued to the whole country, and the people are still singing and dancing peacefully, but the whole army is already in a high state of battle.

"Is it really that serious?"

"Maybe it's more serious than you think."

Li Futu looked at the talking and laughing students around him.

"I'm afraid your wish to be an idler will come to nothing."

Cao Xiuge narrowed his eyes slightly, and slowly put down his chopsticks.

"I knew that those who come are not kind, and those who are kind don't come. I haven't seen you for so long. If you suddenly appear, there must be nothing good."

Li Futu looked at him.

"No one wants to face this reality, but we have no choice, neither do I, nor do you."

Cao Xiuge smiled wryly.

"Do you think I am capable of doing anything now?"

"The Cao family has been loyal and good for generations, and you were born in the Cao family. You cannot escape the inherent responsibility. This is not just me and Luoshen."

Cao Xiuge's fingers gradually clenched.

"This is an unprecedented catastrophe. It is not a region or a country. You once said that you are willing to give everything for this country. Now, it is time for you to fulfill your promise."

Staring at those deep eyes, Cao Xiuge let out a breath slowly.

"I really didn't expect that a person as full of evil as you would one day become the patron saint of mankind."

Li Futu smiled and fiddled with the food in the bowl.

"Actually, when I first left this country, I only had one thought in my mind."

he said softly.

"It is to let the world know that I have lived."

Cao Xiuge's eyes narrowed and his mind was shocked.
