Theatrical Edition Chapter 11
Wells' car was of course parked in the more upscale restaurant outside the school. Several people walked into the restaurant and found a table by the window to sit down. Wells snapped his fingers, and the waiter came in response and placed the menu in front of Wells. For Luni's father, he naturally would not be stingy with the money.
While chatting and laughing, the dishes had already come, a few bottles of aged red wine, a roasted goose, black sea caviar, and a table could be compared to a Christmas dinner.
"We can't eat so much!" Luni's father looked at the dishes on a large table with a knife and fork.
Wells raised his hand with a wine and said, "You don't have to be polite. What kind of friendship does my father have with you? How can I neglect you for a meal!"
Vicky smiled wickedly, "Maybe it's more than this friendship!"
Wells laughed dryly.
Luni's father didn't know Welles's idea. Welles often had a lot of interactions between the two families, but he wouldn't be too careful about the affairs between these young people, and the children decided on everything themselves. Luni's father smiled and said, "Come on, don't talk so much, let's start eating!"
Bella raised her glass and said, "Come on, have a drink for the arrival of her senior sister and father!"
The atmosphere was very harmonious. After eating, Luni's father asked Luni: "Did you receive the application form sent by your mother that day?"
When he mentioned this, Luni's face changed a little, and she felt very complicated. She lowered her head and ate: "Oh, I received it!"
Luni's father stopped the movement and said strangely: "I thought you would be very happy when it comes to this!"
Luni was silent for a moment and said, "I want to consider this matter before deciding whether I can give me a few more days!"
"Oh, if you don't want to go, I'll be very happy that you've been here. I thought you never like computers, so I don't want to force you here, but I still hope you can take my shift!"
"Um!"
"Come on, Uncle Xinjia, I haven't seen you for a long time. I'll give you a cup!"
The atmosphere became a little depressing, and Luni didn't say anything anymore. Bella and Vicky were still making noise, while Wells was always trying to please Luni's father.
After dinner, I walked out of the restaurant. It was already time for school, and the sun was about to silence. There were more college students on the street, some came out to eat, some went home, some rented houses outside, some bought things, etc.
Luni's father looked at the sky and turned his head and said, "It's still early, so I have nothing to do when I go back to the hotel. Please accompany the uncle to visit your school!"
Bella said happily: "Okay, okay!"
Wells said: "Then let's get in the car!"
Luni's father shook his hand and said, "Let's go and take a walk after dinner!"
"Okay, as you mean!"
Several people began to stroll on the streets outside the school. The oblique sunlight shone on people, like a layer of golden color. The streets were extremely enthusiastic and filled with the noise of students.
Wells explained every place to Luni's father with all his heart, and felt special about Wells, at least he was here all the time. Luni was very confused and didn't say much. The two little girls Bella and Vicky were laughing and fighting, which made the male students around him feel very itchy.
"This is a greening area, there is a commercial area, there is..."
At this time, Wells paused for a moment, and at this time, he could see the flower bed in the green area. A beggar sat under the tree, a greasy hat was placed in front, and a few change was lying inside.
Wells walked slowly to the beggar, then took out his wallet, bent down, and placed a fifty dollar bill in the beggar's hat. Perhaps it was the beggar's foreign accent or the speech was unclear. He could only hear him being excited and thanked Wells incoherently. Although he couldn't hear what he was saying, it was probably some praise.
At this time, Wells had already walked back and said to everyone: "Let's keep going!"
Luni's father smiled and nodded slightly, as if he was a little approving.
At this time, everyone saw another beggar walking past the street. The beggar was suddenly stopped by Luni: "Nick!"
Nick looked around when he heard someone calling and found Luni's group of people. For some reason, when Luni called him, he would always come over honestly. Perhaps obedient has become a habit.
When he came to Luni, Nick said weakly: "Senior sister, yes, what's the matter!"
At the same time, Nick also felt Wells' hostile eyes and saw a strange uncle looking at him with a strange look.
"What are you wandering around the streets for nothing?"
"Come out, come out and do something!" Nick rubbed his hands.
"Don't wander around alone. After finishing your business, go back to the dormitory quickly. Do you know?"
"Yes, senior sister!" Although he was replying, his eyes were not far away from the little corn cookies that Bella was eating.
Luni's father pushed his glasses and looked at this strange young man. He was very ordinary and ordinary, and he would not have a deep impression on people. Of course, except for the clothes and shoes on his body.
Bella lowered her face, grabbed it thickly, took out a piece of cookie and stuffed it in. Nick took it happily, then threw it into her mouth. A crisp chewing sound, coupled with the joy on her face, showed that she was very fond of this cookie.
After eating, he licked his lips.
It was a naked eye, a hundred times more professional than a beggar. Bella couldn't help laughing and stuffed the remaining corn cookies to him.
"This classmate seems to like the little corn biscuits in our state very much, but unfortunately he only brought one pack. I will bring you one pack next time I come!"
Nick, who was almost dazzled by joy, noticed the strange uncle, carefully put the cookies into his pocket, and asked, "This is..."
"My dad, say hello quickly!" Luni herself didn't know why, and seemed to be anxious that Nick wanted to leave a good impression on her father.
"Hello, uncle!"
"You are also from the computer department!"
"Yes, online skills class 3, a freshman, I have something to leave first, I'm very happy to see you!" Nick was about to leave.
"Wait a minute" Luni called Nick, looked at the shoes on Nick's feet that were even more open than the beggar opposite, took out her wallet, took out twenty dollars and sent it to Nick, "Give it, take it!"
Nick looked at the money, then looked at Luni, as if she was struggling with thoughts. Under the eyes of everyone, her hand slowly reached towards the twenty dollars, suddenly took the money, and then bowed and said, "When I get the salary, I will give it back to the senior sister!"
Luni naturally didn't plan to ask him to pay it back, but she was afraid that he would refuse, so she had to say, "Well, okay, I'll pay it back when you have money!"
Nick was so happy that he was trembling with joy. He bowed again and turned around happily and ran away. Nick ran into the mall, very happy. He could finally buy a new piece of clothing for the old man, even the cheapest chemical fiber cotton coat.
Luni's father looked at the disappearing Nick and sighed, "Oh, this kid is so pitiful!"
Wells said: "I don't think it's good to ask others for money!"
"Nick is not such a person!" Luni defended Nick. She cared about her father's opinion of Nick.
"But what happened just now was obvious. Has he paid you back?"
Luni's words were a bit unanimous. In fact, the money she had in the copy shop last time was too much, and Nick couldn't afford it.
Luni's father frowned.
Several people continued to stroll on the street outside the campus. Suddenly, Luni's father was astonished as if he was hit by lightning. He rushed forward with tears in his eyes, grabbed the hand of the lame old man sitting on the stone bench in the green belt, and said in a trembling voice: "Teacher, it's really you, it's really you, I finally found you!"
The old man looked at Luni's father and seemed to remember: "Shinga!?"
Luni's father seemed very excited: "Yes, it's me, your student Singa!"
The old man who was immersed in his memories smiled on his face. This was indeed a student he liked many years ago. Unexpectedly, his hair was gray now. The old man sighed: "After so many years, you are older!"
"Even for many years, I will never forget you. If I were asked to admit only one teacher, that is you, you now?" Luni's father suddenly noticed the old man's clothes and said in surprise: "Why do you look like this now? You are a supercomputer virologist, how could you?"
The old man shook his head and smiled, "That's all in the past. I would rather receive the relief funds than be the so-called supercomputer virologist anymore!"
"Help? Have you always lived like this?" Luni's father looked at the old man again. His clothes were already very worn, and he seemed to have been living in poverty. Seeing the old man's feet lame under the patched trousers' legs, it was so conspicuous. Luni's father said in surprise: "Your feet?"
"It's okay, I've been used to it after so many years!"
Even the strong Luni father couldn't help but cry and choked: "How could you always live this kind of life? How could you live this kind of life? You are one of the best supercomputer virologists in the world. Where is there any justice in God!"
Luni was also infected by this sad atmosphere. Every child admired her father. She had heard her father talk about his mentor since she was a child. Her father, as an international master software engineer, expressed his respect when educating her children, which shows how the old man respected and worshiped her father in the heart of her father. Now that she finally saw what her father said about her mentor, it is indeed sad in this situation.
The old man smiled and said, "Although I have lived a hard life over the years, lived in a dilapidated house, and lived in poverty, and although I have been depressed, degenerate and abandoned myself, it was indeed a dark day!"
Luni's father seemed to be about to cry. Without this mentor, he would not have achieved what he has today. He trembled: "Do you still remember that troublemaker Mickey? He is now the chief engineer of UCB!"
Wells was a little moved by this. UCB is a world-renowned large company.
"Oh, that little naughty is now promising!" the old man said with relief.
"Every one of your students is promising now, and we have contacted each other, but no one has any news about you. We have been looking for you over the years, but I just heard that you have left?"
The old man recalled that this should be the last student he taught, and that happened after that. The old man sighed: "Don't mention the past, but why are you here?"
"This is my daughter. I'm here to study, and I'm here to see her!" Luni's father showed to Luni.
Luni bowed quietly to the old man and said, "Hello!"
"My daughter is so old, alas, it's so time that it's so old!" the old man sighed.
Luni's father stepped forward and wanted to help the old man up and said, "You come with me, and you will never have to worry about life problems again. If it weren't for you and I would be like to repay you today, we have always wanted to repay you, but we have never had a chance!"
The old man stopped him and said, "No, the dark thing is actually the past, and I am very happy and happy now, because there is a child who takes care of me. It is him who makes me feel the hope that exists in this world. It is him who makes me escape from that darkness and reap hope for life!"
"Your child? But I can let you live a very good life, come with me!"
The old man refused and said, "He is not my son, but I believe he is better than his own son. I think life is more meaningful and fulfilling than any rich life. This is the happiness I have. I only need this one to be enough!"
Luni's father didn't know what to do for a moment. He wanted to give the teacher a good life, but the old man was unwilling to do so.
At this time, Wells asked in a low voice: "Uncle Xingjia, who is this old man?"
Luni's father looked at Wells and replied calmly: "My teacher, formerly real name is Jin Lesido!"
Wells, who was running an antivirus software company at home, was shocked and took a step back and blurted out: "Jinlesido? The creator of computer viruses? Oh, God, this is not a name that only exists in textbooks?!"
Luni's father nodded and said, "Yes, he is the originator of computer viruses, Dr. Lesido, Jin!"
For such a historical figure, no matter how rich the Wells family is, he can't help but have a respect for his pride.
Luni's father said to the old man heavily: "As your student, I haven't known that you are suffering for so many years, which really makes us feel guilty. I hope to meet that child. He is the one who helps us take care of you. I want to thank him well. I hope to help him find an extremely high-paying job!"
The old man smiled and said, "He won't need these things. I'll thank you for your kindness for him!"
"Dad James!"
What else did Luni's father say? At this time, Nick ran over happily, holding a brand new defective chemical fiber jacket in his hand, which seemed to be happier than anyone else: "Do you see if it fits well? I'll exchange it if it doesn't fit well. After a long time of hard work, the salesperson is willing to sell it to me for ten yuan. You can try it!"
The old man burst into tears and nodded straight: "Fit, fit, I think everything you buy is suitable!"
"Come on, let's go home!"
The thin body swayed the old man's back and walked into the distance. The sunset stretched out their figures. Time was like pausing on this long street. Luni and Luni's father, and Vicky Bella, watched quietly without saying anything. Nick's pair of broken shoes and cheap chemical fiber jacket on the old man's body were immersed in the afterglow of the golden sunset.
