My girlfriend died in the past

Chapter 50 Clues Provided by Teacher Xu

Teacher Xu's office is in the front teaching building, right at the mathematics office at the end of the floor where Zhuang Xiao and his classmates are in their senior year. There's no one else in the office, probably everyone is in class.

Teacher Xu poured a cup of hot water for Zhuang Xiao, then sat down and looked at him hesitantly for a moment before asking, "Did something happen at home?"

Zhuang Xiao held the hot water and his heart calmed down again.

Looking at Teacher Xu's concerned eyes, he didn't know whether the other party really cared about him or was just testing him.

Does Teacher Xu have anything to do with that incident?
Zhuang Xiao shook his head slowly. "It's nothing. I just felt that the toilet here smelled a bit strong, so I thought about going to the toilet in the administration building. But I was afraid that I would run into a teacher I didn't know and ask me why I didn't go to class, so I didn't go in."

"Then let's not talk about this." Teacher Xu thought he didn't want to say it.

But this is normal. Children of this age have strong self-esteem and are sensitive. He has taught so many senior high school classes and has encountered similar situations many times.

He opened the drawer and found a book and handed it to Zhuang Xiao, "I have read this book many times. There is a place in it where I put a bookmark. You can take a look."

Zhuang Xiao took it and took a look. It was a selection of that great man.

He subconsciously turned to the page with the bookmark, and then saw a passage.

[Can't you solve that problem? Then you should investigate the current situation and history of the problem.

Once you have thoroughly investigated the situation, you will have a solution to the problem. All conclusions are drawn at the end of the investigation, not at the beginning.

Only a fool would do it alone or with a group of people, without doing any investigation, but just pondering and thinking hard to come up with solutions and ideas. You must know that this will definitely not lead to any good solutions or ideas. 】

Zhuang Xiao was stunned for a moment, then suddenly laughed.

Wasn’t I what the great man called a “fool” before?

But it's not too late.

Although this retrospection was somewhat unexpected, I had already made plans in advance.

So Zhuang Xiao asked casually, "Teacher Xu, do you like reading novels?"

"Of course I like it, what's wrong?" Teacher Xu was confused.

"Hey, teacher, I do have something going on at home, but I'm only telling you, don't tell anyone." Zhuang Xiao sighed, looking lonely.

Teacher Xu perked up and said with a slow smile, "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone."

"Actually, I am writing a novel. Since elementary school, I have liked to borrow novels from the Hope Reading Club across from the school. Then I thought about writing one myself, but my parents wouldn't let me. They always said it would affect my studies. That's why I was sad." Zhuang Xiao looked a little lonely.

"So that's how it is." Teacher Xu suddenly realized.

No wonder the child was standing in the snow with a look of grief and anger on his face. It turned out to be because of this.

He said earnestly, "Your teachers support your hobbies, but now is the critical time of senior year. If you really want to write, you will have plenty of time after the college entrance examination. The next six months are really important and may affect your life for decades to come."

"I know, teacher. I just want to find some material." Zhuang Xiao said nonchalantly, "I just want to write a school ghost story. By the way, teacher, has there been any incidents or legends of students disappearing in our school before?"

Teacher Xu was stunned for a moment, then stroked the steaming thermos cup and began to recall, "It seems that our school doesn't have it. But the junior high school next door seems to have it. I heard other teachers mention it."

"Junior high school?" Zhuang Xiao was confused at first, then suddenly realized, "Teacher, are you talking about the mass poisoning incident a few years ago?"

"Yes, it seemed like the whole class was poisoned, and the poisoner was also a student in their class, but the poisoner seemed to have disappeared." Teacher Xu patted his hair, "Some teachers were discussing it at the time, and I can't remember clearly." "That was a junior high school outside, it has nothing to do with our high school." Zhuang Xiao was obviously reluctant to mention the collective poisoning incident.

Teacher Xu smiled at this moment, "Then you know that the junior high school behind our school is only separated from our high school by a wall, right?"

Zhuang Xiao nodded, "I went to junior high school there. During physical education class, there were footballs flying from our high school."

"The junior high school over there used to be the junior high school department of our school. It was only separated seven or eight years ago due to policy requirements."

Teacher Xu smiled and said, "The administrative building where you were 'standing in the corner' just now was used by both high school and junior high school, but it was later allocated to our high school."

Zhuang Xiao suddenly raised his head, "Shared?!"

"Yes, my dad used to be a chemistry teacher at the junior high school there and was also the head of the school's logistics department. His office was on the first floor of that building." Teacher Xu explained with a smile, "But after the junior high school part left, he resigned and moved north. I haven't seen him much in the past few years, but he called me a few days ago and said he would be back in the next few days and would contact me then."

Then he shook his head and smiled, "Why am I telling you all this? Anyway, you are in the most critical period of your senior year. You can write novels as much as you want in the summer vacation after the college entrance examination. Now just focus on it. Trusting your teacher will never be wrong."

"I understand." Zhuang Xiao showed a smile from the bottom of his heart, "Teacher Xu, you really helped me a lot."

"Okay, I'm glad I can help you." Teacher Xu patted him on the shoulder, "Go back to class first, I can't slack off anymore."

"Okay, teacher." Zhuang Xiao stood up.

To be honest, Teacher Xu did help him.

And it seemed to have nothing to do with that incident, but Zhuang Xiao didn't care and would not tell him the truth anyway.

Moreover, his answer further confirmed that the evidence left by Shu Die and Dong Zeyu pointed to the first floor of the administrative building.

It should be the logistics department office!

"By the way, teacher, I want to take a leave this afternoon."

On the way back to the classroom, Zhuang Xiao made up a lie, "My parents have a bit of a bad relationship. Today is my birthday, so I thought I'd go back early to prepare and give them a surprise in the evening. Maybe that would help ease the relationship between them."

Teacher Xu said cheerfully, "Okay, I'll approve your leave."

What a filial child.

And it seems that his sadness is not entirely because his family does not agree with his writing of novels, but more likely because of his parents' affairs.

Now that he is willing to speak out, it means he has come out of it.

"Well, thank you teacher."

Zhuang Xiao raised his eyes and looked deeply at the gentle and kind Teacher Xu.

Teacher Xu must really be a good person, which can be seen from Liu Lang’s narration “Eight Years Later”.

But unfortunately, he has a father like that.

Zhuang Xiao followed him back to the classroom and sat down without saying a word.

Now he just had to wait for school to be over, and then he had a lot of things to do.
