Chapter 117: Discover

Ji Su likes to hear about things related to Qiao Lan, but doesn't like to hear about things related to Qiao Lan Tancheng.

Not to mention the fact that Qiao Lan and Tan Mo are ready to get married as soon as they graduate.

Luo Man quarrels with Liu Cancan every day. He is very good at quarreling, but because the two girls were not in charge, Luo Man disliked him within a few sentences and could not say a word, and he could only say that Luo Man was meddling with his own business.

After Luo Man disliked someone, he was still quite aggrieved, when people are aggrieved, they like to seek support, without even thinking about it, he turned his head to Ji Su's side and looked over, not realizing that Ji Su, who usually wears a smile, was not looking too good at the moment.

"Senior ......"

Luo Man mumbled something, Ji Su didn't even look this way, threw down a "Okay" as a stop to the drama, and turned around to leave the club.

Pei Beijia looked at the back of Ji Su left, it is not difficult to guess Ji Su is because of what bad mood, think here can not help but some intolerance turned his head to look at Luo Man a glance.

Ji Su is very good, and there are many girls who like him, even in this small club, but Luo Man is the most blatant one, and almost everyone knows that she likes Ji Su.

Even Ji Su himself knows that.

Pei Beijia hadn't liked the little girl much before, she was exaggerated and smarmy, not her type after all.

But regardless of how she is in person, a passion is used by Ji Su as a smokescreen for her own pursuit of other girls, and what would this little girl think if she knew why she got into the club.

Ji Su, this person, is really cruel.

Qiao Lan was in class the next day, only to find out that Luo Man actually fought with other people for himself, slightly surprised, Luo Man said that he just don't like other people to say bad things behind their backs, and what can't be said in front of them.

Qiao Lan laughed at the memory of Luo Man and Liu Cancan's daily quarrels.

Luo Man wasn't a favorite, but when all was said and done, everything was out in the open, and when I think back, I really haven't heard Luo Man bad-mouthing anyone behind their backs.

Luo Man is in a bad mood, so she can only look for something to make her feel good. The best thing to make her feel good is to talk to Ji Su, but Ji Su didn't show up today, so Luo Man can only find the second best thing to do is to continue to gossip about Qiao Lan and Tan Mo.

"You guys have been so busy lately, what have you been up to."

"Momo is practicing," Qiao Lan said, "and I'm practicing with him."

Luo Man cupped his face with both hands, "Ugh, I'm so envious of you."

Qiao Lan smiled, "Envious that I have such a good boyfriend."

"No, I envy you guys for being so nice," Luo Man said slyly, "when will I be like you guys."

Liu Cancan finally stopped quarreling with Luo Man this time, and even said somewhat speechlessly, "If you like it, go after it, and if you don't, it might be snatched away by someone."

"I'm afraid he won't like me."

"So he likes you if you don't say anything? Why don't you see you being so abrasive when you usually fight with me ......"

"You're not a senior ......"

Two or three sentences later the two were bickering again and back to their old ways.

The first activity of the club is finally over, Qiao Lan doesn't have to go to the club every day, she accompanies Tan Mo to practice driving every day.

Tan Mo was a fast learner, much faster than Qiao Lan, who took more than two months to get her license, but Tan Mo got her own license in less than two months.

On the day he got his driver's license, the car that Uncle Chen chose for Tan Mo was also taken back, and the person responsible for picking up and dropping off Qiao Lan every day changed from Uncle Chen to Tan Mo himself.

If it were normal, Luo Man would have jumped on Qiao Lan and gossiped about him, but lately Luo Man has had his own thing going on, and except for classes, he can't be seen the rest of the time.

Liu Cancan says Luo Man is officially chasing Ji Su.

It's been almost two months since Tan Mo learned to drive and got his license, and almost two months since Luo Man chased Ji Su.

Luo Man chased her very seriously, but she didn't take it down for two months, so she obviously chased her very hard too, and her personality isn't even as lively as it was before.

Qiao Lan couldn't give her any constructive advice, and her understanding of Ji Su was only on the surface. She had the impression that Ji Su was still a gentle and good-natured senior, and Qiao Lan didn't think that Ji Su really had any thoughts about her even now, but because Tan Mo was particularly jealous of Ji Su, Qiao Lan never had any private communication with Ji Su alone.

Tan Mo bought a car, and the two of them took classes from Monday to Friday and went out on weekends, which made life easy and Tan Mo was particularly satisfied.

It's not that he doesn't like Qiao Lan's club, he'd be happy if Qiao Lan quit the club one day.

And so it was that by the time it was past midterm, something very heavy happened at U of B, which already had a very intense learning atmosphere.

Qiao Lan remembers that it was in the middle of an afternoon class when Liu Cancan, with a shocked look on his face, nudged their arms and whispered, "Someone has committed suicide."

Although there have been reports of student suicides in the news from time to time in recent years, and the percentage of high school and college students committing suicide has even been increasing, we have only heard about it, and this is the first time that Qiao Lan and others have heard about it happening around them.

Schools usually choose to keep this kind of news closed, but naturally the students in the school can't keep it from them.

No one knows for sure why the suicide happened, but the rumor is spreading and people can roughly guess the reason.

I heard that the student who committed suicide is also a freshman, or a very pretty girl, no love no online loans also did not make bad friends, the family did not have any changes, so the final reason is only because of too much pressure to study.

The students who can come here, which is not once the existence of the best in high school, and so on in and realized that all around them are better than their own, the heart will inevitably have a gap.

But the fallout was so great that it ended up in this way.

Qiao Lan didn't know how to comment on this matter, as a normal person, regret, pain, naturally, but in addition, Qiao Lan inexplicably thought of Tan Mo.

Having been with Tan Mo for so long, Qiao Lan had almost forgotten that the Tan Mo in the book had actually committed suicide.

If time serves me well, it was also right around freshman year, or if that's more accurate, roughly the end of the first semester of freshman year.

Qiao Lan 心口 couldn't stop the pain for a moment, then jumped madly.

Although Tan Mo is no longer the Tan Mo of the past, he is no longer suffering from major depression, nor is he in love with Song Yao and can't love him, so suicide is not something that will happen to Tan Mo anymore.

But the word "suicide" was so shocking that Qiao Lan couldn't help feeling bad.

Qiao Lan couldn't help but think about what kind of mindset Tan Mo would have had when she committed suicide, the despair, the pain, and how it would have felt when it came back to her.

Scared, run down, jealous.

Qiao Lan suddenly shook her head vigorously, clearing her mind of all the things that were cluttering it up.

The Tan Mo of today is not the Tan Mo of the original book, he is out of the line of life he once was, and the past has nothing to do with him anymore.

Qiao Lan, don't think too much.

Qiao Lan exhaled deeply, not listening to anything in the second half of the class, but after class Luo Man told her that the club was having an emergency meeting and asked them to go there right after class.

After all, when something like this happens, it's only natural that, as a psychiatric club, you would do something about it.

Qiao Lan let out a "hmmm" and packed her book bag, talking to Tan Mo on the phone as she walked away.

Tan Mo, who had just gotten out of class over there as well, listened and said after a long moment of silence, "About how long will it take."

"I'm not sure", Qiao Lan sighed, "unexpected events, meeting to arrange work, may be a bit late, why don't you go back first without me today."

"No, I'll wait for you in the library."

After hanging up the phone, Tan Mo sat expressionlessly for a while before turning around and walking towards the library, but just as she reached the door, she met Ji Su coming out of the library.

Tan Mo is not in the habit of greeting people he doesn't know well, so he just saw him, but Ji Su was his usual "good-natured" self, and took the initiative to greet Tan Mo and say "hello" to his fellow students in a friendly manner.

Tan Mo glanced at Ji Su and faintly replied, "Hello senior," Ji Su smiled and asked him, "Aren't you going home after class?"

"Wait for your girlfriend," Tan Mo said, stopping and glancing at Ji Su.

"Qiao Lan ah," Ji Su nodded, "That'll probably have to wait a bit longer, the society's been a bit full of things today, and you know that happens."

"Hmm," Tan Mo was a bit annoyed and turned to leave, but he heard Ji Su add, "If you're going to wait for someone, why don't you come sit with me over at the club?"

Tan Mo's heart fluttered, "Appropriate?"

"Nothing inappropriate, you're not the only couple in the club."

......

Qiao Lan and Luo Man waited for a while, and then the senior students of the club arrived, and besides the members of the club, there were also two "family members". Qiao Lan looked at the students who brought their boyfriends and girlfriends, and thought to herself that she could have brought Tan Mo.

But Tan Mo likes to be quiet and shouldn't like them sitting around talking in a mess.

Just as I was thinking, the outside door pushed open and Ji Su walked in, and at a second glance, her boyfriend, who was supposed to be in the library, followed her in.

Qiao Lan froze and walked up, greeting Ji Su before asking Tan Mo in a low voice, "Why did you suddenly come over."

"Met Ji on the way... Your senior."

Qiao Lan really doesn't know if she's too slow or Tan Mo is too sensitive, she always feels that Ji Su has designs on her and she's not at ease when she sees Ji Su.

Since she's already here, let's do it. Qiao Lan is actually quite happy that Tan Mo is here with her, she's just worried that he'll be bored.

A huge conference table was set up in the large classroom, and everyone sat in a circle, with Tan Mo sitting next to Qiao Lan. Ji Su said that after all, this suicide incident came from our school, so even if Tan Mo and the others weren't members of the club, they could still listen to it.

Ji Su's side has more information than Qiao Lan's rumors, and after combing through the whole thing and posting it once, she said she wanted to hear everyone's opinions.

Qiao Lan was also named.

Qiao Lan, like the other students before her, expressed her pain and regret, and then said something about students overcoming stress. Ji Su was listening and writing something down, and when she finished, she nodded and suddenly cued Tan Mo.

"Why don't you say something too since you're here, Hokage."

Tan Mo look a slight beat, but only for a moment, still no expression, Qiao Lan wanted to say no, but Tan Mo is not too concerned, speak very fluent, "for this matter, no matter how the truth, things have happened, society can do is to restore the truth of the matter, to give both parties a reasonable explanation to the child's parents to do a good job of placating the parents. Do a good job of appeasement. In the past two years college students frequent suicide phenomenon, the reason for this, in addition to school mismanagement, the students themselves may also have some problems. First of all, the school as a place to teach and educate people, should take appropriate measures for students, in addition to focus on their academic performance and scientific research results, should pay more attention to the physical and mental health of students. There is no doubt that schools are responsible for the safety of students who have traveled thousands of miles from their homes to pursue their education. It is also the responsibility of teachers to criticize students or make suggestions for improvement, but this should be done without compromising the human rights of students. Criticism should be directed at their behavior, not at them personally ......"

After all, Tan Mo is a well-known figure in the whole school, and after coming to the club today, a group of people who have already heard of Tan Mo's name are very curious about him, and Ji Su takes the initiative to point out Tan Mo for him to express his views, and everyone is even more interested.

When they finished listening, all the thoughts of the crowd were, it is really a super learner, look at this well-organized template-like answer, clear thinking, no loopholes, and the words spoken are just like the papers written.

Qiao Lan quietly listened to Tan Mo's speech and sighed silently, perhaps everyone here except her thought Tan Mo's answer was very good, in fact, it was very good indeed, but if one carefully discerned Tan Mo's words, in the end, one could still hear the difference between his speech and the others.

It's an incurable defect brought on by Asperger's, and there's nothing Tan Mo can do about it, and nothing Qiao Lan can do about it.

But too few people knew about Asperger's in the end, not to mention that even if they did, they hadn't actually been exposed to it, so they wouldn't have been able to hear the signs of it the way she did.

Ji Su was sitting at the farthest end of the conference table, his hand had paused in its grip on his pen, and his fingertips landed softly on the desktop with a silent tap.

A seeming smile lifted his lips.

It turns out that there really are such coincidences in the world, there really are such unexpected surprises.

Ji Su has never chased a girl, being too good since he was a kid, always being the one being chased, and never being paranoid about who he liked.

Qiao Lan was the first.

And one of the hardest.

It's been half a semester since the beginning of the school year, and I can count on two hands the number of chances I've had to meet Qiao Lan, so I can see how little I've had.

Qiao Lan was completely uninterested in him, his mind was only on Tan Mo, whether he was in private or utilizing his business, and months went by without Ji Su finding the slightest opportunity to do so.

Since there was nothing he could do about Qiao Lan, Ji Su thought of Tan Mo.

For a mentally challenged person, trying to make his heart run over is not too difficult for Ji Su, and it is always no more difficult than attacking Qiao Lan.

But what he didn't expect was for God to give him such a big surprise at the beginning.

While everyone was exclaiming that Tan Mo was really something, Ji Su captured the unusual nature of the passage.

The flow is smooth and the logic is even clearer, like something a PhD student would say, so you can't fault it.

And as it happens, one of the biggest faults is that there is no human touch.

Tan Mo expresses no sympathy or regret for the dead, and the whole passage is officially like an emotionless machine.

Obvious? Not really too obvious, at least no one else noticed, only him.

But if he had a father with the same condition as Tan Mo, the tone could not have been more similar after almost twenty years of listening.

Everything, then, is too easy.

Tan Mo.

Asperger's.

This is, well, a coincidence.
