Chapter 6 If this is a dream, meeting you is a good dream of mine 4
In the afternoon, after two classes, I followed the duty group to clean the classroom.
The monitor who never spoke to me on weekdays suddenly appeared at the door of the classroom and called me: "Luo Huayin."
"Huh?" I straightened up in surprise.
"Go to the office, the teacher is calling you."
After she finished speaking, she seemed not to want to look at me any longer and just turned and left.
Teacher? Call me?
I put the broom back in the sanitation area in a daze and walked out of the classroom. Strangely, after entering high school, my homeroom teacher always treated me as a invisible person and never called me to the office for a talk.
When I walked to the office door, it was half open.
I raised my hand and was about to knock on the door when I suddenly heard the sound of a conversation inside... When I heard what they were saying, I felt like all the blood in my body was rushing to my head.
"Auntie, it's true! Many of us saw it with our own eyes!"
"Yes, Auntie, you must believe us. If it wasn't so serious, we wouldn't all come together to tell the teacher about this situation."
"Auntie, we all think Luo Huayin may have some mental problems recently... Not only our classmates, but also people in the whole school have seen her talking to herself as if she was talking to someone."
…
"Okay, stop talking." Perhaps because he felt that they were talking too much and it was very noisy, the head teacher stopped them in an irritable manner after a while.
Then, I heard her turn to another person in the office and say, "Huanyin's mom, you know about this. All these kids came to tell me all this. I think it would be better to ask their parents to come and listen together."
The answer to her was silence.
I pushed the door open with such force that I almost felt like I was rushing in.
"Luo Huayin? Why didn't you knock before coming in?"
The head teacher frowned and looked at me with dissatisfaction.
But I saw my mother sitting there at a loss, surrounded by them.
"Hana..." When my mother saw me, her eyes lit up, and then she felt a little embarrassed.
I took a deep breath, looked at the people standing in the office one by one, and then looked intently at the head teacher.
I don’t know when it started, but I’m no longer afraid to communicate with others, and I won’t be so nervous that I can’t speak just because so many people are looking at me... At this moment, I just feel like I’m filled with anger but can’t vent it.
"Luo Huayin." The head teacher coughed lightly, breaking the silence. "You should have heard what the students said just now, right? I asked your mother to come to school just to understand the situation. Do you have anything to say?"
I almost secretly grasped the hem of my school uniform to restrain myself from getting angry.
"Teacher, what do you want me to say?" I frowned and pointed at the girls around me. "Just because they talk nonsense, you can arbitrarily drag the students' parents here to listen to their nonsense? Excuse me any evidence for what they said? So if I say that these people have delusions, does that mean their parents have to come to the school immediately to listen to my nonsense?"
"You don't admit it! It's obviously you—"
"Alright!" Before those people started to make a lot of noise, the head teacher looked at me for a while, then frowned, "You guys go out, those who need to go home should go home, and those who don't want to go home should finish their homework before leaving."
"yes……"
I didn’t dare argue with the head teacher anymore. The seven or eight girls glared at me fiercely and left the office reluctantly.
I still stood there, looking at the teacher.
The head teacher stared at me for a while, and seeing that I didn't show any sign of timidity or guilt, she finally sighed and turned to look at my mother: "Huanyin's mother, I didn't understand this matter clearly, and I'm sorry for troubling you to make this trip... But it's always right to pay attention to the child's affairs, and I hope you can understand."
After hearing these words, I secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
My mother nodded nervously immediately: "Yes, yes, I understand, you are responsible for the students... Please take care of Hanane at school. Um... I will have a good talk with Hanane about this matter after I get home. Regardless of whether there are these situations or not, it is good to take precautions."
"Okay." The homeroom teacher was always serious. She looked at me and said, "Kane is done with school too. Go home with your mother."
"I haven't finished my duty yet."
"Then you go first. I'll talk to your mother. When you finish your duty, come and call your mother."
I glanced at my mother, and following her silent comfort, I nodded and obediently left the office.
…
Ye Jing had been sulking quietly in front of the mirror since noon and hadn't come out. Of course, he didn't know what happened after school, and I didn't call him.
Before the sun set, my mother and I had returned home.
My mother chatted with me as usual, and didn't show any dissatisfaction or anything else about this matter... When I got home, I changed into my pajamas and curled up on the sofa in the living room, eating fruit and watching TV. My mother was busy cooking for me in the kitchen.
The warm goose yellow light is soft and cozy, everything is so good.
Although the house is not big, my mother has always tried hard to create a safe home for me where I can relax.
Thinking about what happened at school today... I feel extremely guilty.
"Kane, it's time to eat!"
After a while, the hot meal was on the table. My mother poured me a glass of juice as usual and handed me the chopsticks with a smile.
While eating, my mother still didn't mention anything about school.
Finally, I couldn't help but bite the chopsticks and opened my mouth.
"Mother?"
"what happened, Babe."
"Why don't you ask about what happened at school?"
My mother looked at me in surprise and said, "What is there to ask? Didn't you tell me that they were talking nonsense? Besides, my daughter, I don't know... You are under my nose every day, how can I, as a mother, not know if you have mental problems?"
Looking at my mother's calm face, I was speechless for a long time, and an indescribable warmth surged in my heart.
"But..." After a while, my mother changed the subject, "You must have been hiding something from me in the past few months. I know, but if you don't want to tell me, I won't ask you. It's enough for you to know that I'm always by your side and support you."
"Mother……"
I sniffed and looked at this middle-aged woman in front of me who was always overly gentle but actually very delicate at heart - she was probably the person in the world who understood me the most and loved me the most... Although she couldn't give me much, what she gave me was the best.
"Silly child." Mom smiled and picked up a piece of food for me with chopsticks. "Hurry up and eat. After you finish eating, do your homework. Mom has to go on duty."
"Um!"
The huge stone that was pressing on my heart was completely put down. I let out a long breath and felt that all the pressure was gone.
