On the second day, Ah Chou appeared outside the classroom as before, and Chen Qingqiu stopped A Chou again.

"Little girl, do you want to come to school?" Chen Qingqiu asked patiently while standing in the corridor, looking at Ah Chou who kept his head down all the time.

Ah Chou didn't answer right away, she stepped on the ground and crushed her uncomfortably.

"I see that you come to attend classes outside the classroom every day. Presumably you are willing to go to school. As long as you want to go to class, I will help you go to school."

A Chou shook his head, and replied in a muffled voice, "They won't allow me to go to school."

Chen Qingqiu looked at Ah Chou, and said in a serious voice, "You don't have to worry about this, just tell me if you want to, and I'll figure out the rest."

Ah Chou raised his head, looked at Chen Qingqiu for a while, and nodded slowly with cautious eyes.

Only then did Chen Qingqiu heave a sigh of relief, showing a gratified smile.

Then he really went to find A Chou's parents. I don't know what he said, but A Chou's parents agreed to let A Chou go to school.

Later she found out that Chen Qingqiu had told his parents that he would pay for A Chou's school expenses, and A Chou's parents were happy to take advantage of such a good person, so they agreed to let A Chou go to school.

On the day Ah Chou went to school, Chen Qingqiu gave her the prepared books and pens, and said to her: "Little girl, I read your notes and they are all well done. It's just that there are still some things missing. Things, come to me when you have time in the future, and I will give you extra lessons."

Ah Chou stood in front of Chen Qingqiu awkwardly, and suddenly asked: "Why do you keep calling me little girl?"

Chen Qingqiu didn't expect A Chou to ask him this question, his voice stopped, and he looked at A Chou after a while and said:

"I know your name... but I don't think it's suitable as a name. And I see that you don't respond very much when people call you, so I think you don't like your name, so I don't want to call you that .”

A certain place in my heart seemed to be stabbed, Ah Chou shook hands unconsciously, looked at the brand new books in Chen Qingqiu's hands that she had never owned before, and said to Chen Qingqiu:

"You help me so much, but I have nothing, and I have no way to repay you."

Chen Qingqiu heard her words, and asked with a smile: "Why do you think I need your return?"

Ah Chou raised his head and stared at Chen Qingqiu silently.

"My whole life..." Chen Qingqiu said here, paused, and then changed his words: "The time before my life was pretty smooth, and all the people I met were kind people.

"When I was young, I was loved by my parents and elders and received many preferential treatment."

"After going to school, I met good teachers. They taught me carefully and led me to the right path."

"The colleagues and seniors I met after work are also tolerant and caring, and most of the students I teach are well-behaved and sensible, which saves me a lot of trouble."

Chen Qingqiu recalled the past, a smile subconsciously appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Counting it carefully, I have received a lot of kindness and help in my life."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Ah Chou, "All I do now is to repay those favors, so how can I need your repayments again."

His eyes fell on Ah Chou, after looking at it for a while, he said slowly:

"If you are willing to keep my goodwill towards you in your heart, and treat others like me in the future, it won't be a waste of what I have done."

Ah Chou looked at Chen Qingqiu, but her eyes were dazzled by the dazzling sunlight, and she quickly lowered her head again.

-

In the days that followed, Ah Chou attended classes in school like other students, but life did not get better just like that.

Because of her face, the other students didn't like to see her.

Ah Chou has long been used to the disgusting gaze, and numbly faces the sneer and ridicule of his classmates, but the corners of his heart are rotten.

Chen Qingqiu saw everything in his eyes, and asked a friend to send a bottle of liquid foundation from the city, and gave it to Ah Chou.

A Chou held the bottle of liquid foundation at a loss, Chen Qingqiu looked at her gently, and said to her: "I don't know if this will work, but you can try it."

Ah Chou returned home with the bottle of liquid foundation, found the mirror she didn't use much at home, and applied the foundation to her face bit by bit in front of the mirror, watching the birthmark on her face gradually fade away, turning into a There was a face that was completely unfamiliar to her.

She couldn't help but put her hand on the mirror, looking at a completely different self in the mirror, her eyes gradually turned red, and finally couldn't help crying.

The heavy birthmark on her heart that made her breathless disappeared at this moment, and she felt so light for the first time, as if she was about to lift up.

But A Chou was not happy for long, she didn't hear her father calling her outside, so he entered the room, looked at the pale A Chou, and smashed the bottle of liquid foundation in disgust.

A Chou looked at the remains of the liquid foundation on the ground tremblingly, and his heart seemed to shatter along with it.

He broke it, as if he had crushed Ah Chou on the ground, causing her to fall back into the soil and be buried in dust.

Ah Chou picked up the broken glass on the ground, carried them to Chen Qingqiu's house in despair, and knocked on the door of Chen Qingqiu's room.

"I'm sorry, teacher." She looked at the well-dressed Chen Qingqiu, the tears on her face hadn't been wiped off, and she kept apologizing.

Chen Qingqiu looked at A Chou for a long time, and finally just patted her on the shoulder lightly, and said softly: "It's okay, since there is no way to eliminate it, we will find other ways."

He took Ah Chou into the house, let A Chou sit down, and took out another box of paints and brushes.

"Teacher, what are you doing?" A Chou was distracted by Chen Qingqiu's movements, and his voice was a little puzzled.

Chen Qingqiu looked at Ah Chou, with a smile on his face, waved the paintbrush in his hand, and said, "Think of a way."

A Chou didn't quite understand what Chen Qingqiu meant, but she still sat obediently, allowing Chen Qingqiu to use the brush to dip in black paint to draw on the birthmark on her face.

The autumn afternoon sunlight passed through the narrow windows and fell on the concrete floor of the house. The dust floating in the air danced in the sunlight, like countless elves, jumping around Chen Qingqiu.

Ah Chou stared blankly at Chen Qingqiu, gradually lost in thought.

Until Chen Qingqiu put down the paintbrush, took a mirror, and put it in front of Ah Chou, "Let's have a look."

Ah Chou came back to his senses, the focus of his eyes fell on the mirror, and he saw himself in the mirror.

That disgusted her so much that it still remained on her face, but was drawn away by Chen Qingqiu along the lines, turning into a bird with wings spread.

It was no longer ugly, and it changed its appearance on her face, but it instantly made her face look better.

"Look..." Chen Qingqiu looked at Ah Chou's face, his eyes were clear and gentle: "Actually, you are very good-looking, but it blocks your original appearance and deceives everyone."

Ah Chou opened his mouth, his voice was hoarse, and he slowly raised his hand to caress the piece. It turned out that just changing its appearance, she would be different.

Chen Qingqiu sighed, and said: "Actually, everyone in the world has thousands of faces and different faces. But under this surface, there are ordinary scarlet flesh and white bones. Everyone is the same, but we are trapped by ourselves. Just myself."

"Compared to the body that will eventually decay, the soul is the ultimate destination."

"But such a superficial appearance has brought you suffering." Chen Qingqiu fell silent again when he said this. Ah Chou is sad.

Ah Chou looked at Chen Qingqiu for a long time, then turned his eyes back to the mirror, looked at the bird with wings spread on his face, and asked, "Teacher, why is it a bird?"

"This is the blue bird." Chen Qingqiu was brought back to his thoughts by A Chou's words. He looked at A Chou and smiled slightly, "The blue bird is the messenger of the Queen Mother of the West. The Queen Mother of the West lives in the fairy mountain of Penglai, but there is no way to Penglai. Only the blue bird can cross it." Penglai Mountain, sending hope to the world."

Chen Qingqiu turned his head, looked at the high mountains surrounded by Lijia Village, and sighed slowly.

"People in the world like to compare flowers to women, and admire women as delicate and beautiful as flowers, but I don't want to paint them as flowers."

"I know this place is not very good for girls." Chen Qingqiu pointed to the mountain outside the window, and said to Ah Chou:

"So you have to become a free blue bird, spread your wings and fly high, cross these mountains and mountains, and leave this place."
