Ling'er is silent, because at this moment, like other teachers, she doesn't know how to respond to Dean Mai.
Although, her feeling, they can understand, but, as the saying goes, the needle does not know the pain, how can they really feel.
President Mai took a deep breath, then took the bowl that ling'er had been holding and ate it in silence.
An ordinary but unusual lunch took almost an hour for several people to finish.
"Miss ling'er, there's nothing else to do here. You have to go to work. Go back first. You don't have to be here with me."
Put down the empty bowl, President Mai slowly stood up, looked up at ling'er, and said desolately: "I want to go to the girl's dormitory."
If it was normal, Dean Mai would rush to send ling'er away, but now she is really not in such a mood.
See Shu Yan came over, want to send himself out, ling'er shook his head: "I have a holiday today, President Mai by me to accompany."
"Go outside and see what else the police have to follow up."
Shuyan nodded, did not say more, with a few teachers back to the front yard.
When Qin Zihan came to the dormitory where he lived, President Mai came to the bed and sat down, picked up the pillow and held it in his arms.
Looking at the sunny sky through the window, he sighed and spoke slowly.
"Two days ago, the girl didn't come back all night. Maybe she didn't sleep all night. When she came back, she was in poor spirits."
"Shuyan was also there at that time, so I asked the girl to go back and have a good rest. Just let the children look after us."
"What I didn't expect was that she didn't go back to the office at that time. Instead, she sneaked out."
"I didn't know she was out until I came back at more than five in the afternoon. As for where she was, no matter how I asked, she didn't say."
"Later, it was late, so I went to the kitchen to cook with them."
"That night, the girl was no different. After dinner, she went back to her dormitory as usual."
"As for what happened that night, I didn't even know."
Speaking of the end, President Mai could no longer help sobbing in a low voice.
Ling'er strides over and holds her in her arms. She also knows that at this time, no matter how much she says, it's meaningless.
So, she had been holding Dean Mai, accompanied her in tears.
I don't know how long it took before President Mai reached out to dry his tears. He was about to put the pillow back, but his index finger seemed to touch something.
Quickly zipped open the pillow, Dean Mai was surprised to find that there was a letter hidden inside.
They looked at each other, but without thinking much more, President Mai immediately opened the seal.
"To my dearest mother, since my father left, you have always been with me. I'm afraid I can't make up for your kindness in my life."
"When you see this letter, maybe I have gone to a far, far place."
"I'm sorry, I always like to fight against you all these years, but I want to get more attention from you."
"Mom, don't be too sad. I just went ahead of time to live with my father. We will turn into air and accompany you forever..."
There were three pieces of paper in that letter. Later, what Qin Zihan wrote, ling'er didn't read them one by one.
After reading the whole letter, Dean Mai was already crying.
