After Escaping Marriage [GL]
Chapter 38:
Cheng Zhanxi lowered his arm from the corridor railing, raised the corners of his lips, and said, "Solved?"
Yu Qingtang nodded.
Cheng Zhanxi took her wrist and said with a smile, "Come on, please have a drink."
Yu Qingtang: "..."
Cheng Zhanxi didn't order takeout, but took Yu Qingtang to the dessert shop outside the school - the one he took Yuzhou to last time.
The two sat down in the store, and while they were waiting, Cheng Zhanxi coaxed Yu Qingtang to talk about the situation in the class meeting.
...
Half an hour ago.
"I have seen the joint book you gave to Director Tao." A cold and quiet voice came from above the podium.
Half of the classmates calmly raised their heads to meet Yu Qingtang's gaze, while the other half were either guilty or ashamed, or were afraid to look directly for various reasons, and Li Lan belonged to the latter.
She vaguely felt that she had done something wrong, but no one gave her a specific answer.
She lowered her head, feeling that Yu Qingtang's eyes were fixed on her for a few seconds, then swept over gently.
"The school dealt with me."
The classroom became quieter, the curtains were slightly lifted by the wind, no one made a sound, and their expressions were solemn.
"One, I will continue to serve as the head teacher. After teaching this semester, you can welcome a new head teacher next semester; two, I will leave the seventh class completely and will no longer be your teacher. The school will immediately arrange a new math teacher and head teacher for you. ." Yu Qingtang finally decided to leave the right to leave and stay to the students, and everything was up to them. She looked down at the half of the chalk in her hand, looked at all the classmates again, and said calmly, "Which result do you hope to get?"
A dead silence.
Some classmates looked at each other, and their slightly widened eyes showed strong disbelief.
Some fell silent.
Some have heavy expressions.
Some looked down at the table with no expression on their faces, not knowing what they were thinking.
In a class, the most people are not Li Lan who can take the lead, nor are Yu Zhou who have no right to speak and still do not want to be kidnapped, but "group" people who follow the flow and the organization. Not everyone is as simple as Li Lan, and they don't know the serious consequences of jointly signing the letter, but they still signed it.
One is to stay in the group, and always keep the same direction of progress in this group; the other is to not care, children of this age are more self-centered in the final analysis, and the teacher's feelings will not be taken into account by them. Even if Yu Qingtang really resigned today because of this incident, when I think about it many years later, I can only sigh with emotion when I was young. At most, there will be such a trivial regret. After toasting and drinking, the days will pass, and this episode of Yu Qingtang will be buried in it. In the long river of time, there is no influence.
this is the truth.
Not to mention minors, even adults, most of them are selfish. When things involve themselves, they will ignore the interests of others and excuse themselves.
Others keep silent all the time. For them, it doesn't matter if the teacher changes or not. I just learn from mine, I don't sign, but I don't object, just do what you want.
As soon as Yu Qingtang said these words, the silent one remained silent, while the active group members and those who wanted to join in the fun all looked at the leading class committees, and wanted them to make up their minds, and Li Lan was the one in the lead.
Since the beginning of class, Li Lan has not raised his head.
Yu Qingtang didn't respond for a long time after seeing the bottom. She threw half of the chalk into the chalk box, clapped her hands, and took the simplest and most convenient method: "In that case, vote."
Yu Qingtang added: "Keep your name anonymous, write or leave it on the note. Five minutes later, Li Lan will collect the ticket."
The sound of the paper being torn from the notebook and the rustling sound of the tip of the pen falling on the paper could be heard in the classroom.
Yu Qingtang sat down in the chair on the podium, looking down at the time in the lower right corner of the computer, ignoring them.
All the classmates had serious expressions, held pens and pondered for a long time before they solemnly wrote down.
The paper in front of Li Lan was heavily altered. In the end, she folded the note with "stay" written on it twice, and held it firmly in the palm of her hand.
Five minutes passed quietly.
Yu Qingtang knocked on the podium with his fingers, and said, "The squad leader will accept the ticket."
Li Lan: "Start with the last student in each row and pass the vote forward."
The students efficiently gathered their votes into the first row, and Li Lan finally gathered them and handed them over to Yu Qingtang on the podium.
Yu Qingtang didn't answer, and said lightly, "Please, the squad leader, do some statistics for me, and just tell me the results."
Li Lan sat back in her seat.
She opened the ballots one by one and wrote the word "positive" on the blank scratch paper.
Everyone's eyes fell on Li Lan, as well as the tip of her pen, holding her breath.
Li Lan's deskmate looked at her writing more and more orthographic characters, and slowly opened her eyes, full of disbelief, which aroused the curiosity of other students.
The last ticket was placed on the top, Li Lan looked at the statistics and was silent for a long time.
Yu Qingtang stood up, slowly put the chair back to its original position, and asked slowly, "Is the result out?"
Li Lan said softly, "Come out."
She picked up the manuscript paper, was quiet for a while again, and read out the votes clearly: "45 votes for Mr. Yu to stay, 4 votes to leave, and 1 vote to abstain."
Disparity of votes!
There was an uproar.
Everyone's expressions were different. More than half of the people who signed the joint book handed in a few days ago, how could it be now? !
Yu Qingtang was calm, as if he had expected this result, and said indifferently: "Then according to your choice, I will take you to the end of the semester."
She lowered her voice and said solemnly, "As for why there is such a result, I hope students can think about the reason, especially the students who made different choices twice, what made you change your mind."
All the students were lost in thought.
Li Lan sat in the seat unwillingly.
Yu Qingtang watched from the podium and did not ask her to go out to talk.
...
After Cheng Zhanxi heard it, his chin was about to fall on the table, and he didn't close his mouth for a long time.
She really could not have imagined that Yu Qingtang would take such an approach, especially when the votes were counted in the end, Cheng Zhanxi vaguely guessed the result, but she felt good physically and mentally when she heard the huge difference in votes.
She poked Jiang Zongnui in front of her with a spoon, and said with a smile, "How did you think of that?"
Yu Qingtang said indifferently, "I thought about it with my brain."
Cheng Zhanxi was amused by her serious look, and Yu Qingtang looked at her expressionlessly.
Cheng Zhanxi coughed and swallowed his laughter.
"It's good to teach them a life lesson by the way." Cheng Zhanxi said, "Mr. Yu, the head teacher, is too good." She gave a thumbs up.
Yu Qingtang lifted her eyelids and looked at her: "Are you kidding me?"
Cheng Zhanxi immediately swore to the sky and clarified: "Every word I say is from the sincerity, and the world can be seen."
Yu Qingtang couldn't hear the emotion: "Really?"
"Of course it is." Cheng Zhanxi gestured to take out his heart, "Do you want me to take out my heart and show it to you?"
Yu Qingtang ignored her drama, which made her play for a while and it would not end, and only said in a low voice, "Shen Ming."
Cheng Zhanxi reacted for two seconds and laughed: "You said this, didn't I think it was funny, so I just slapped it. If I didn't have skin, how would I know you were blind."
Yu Qingtang glanced at her, but said nothing, a faint smile appeared on the corners of her lips.
Cheng Zhanxi regained her confidence from Wen Zhihan, and now she claims to be the only person Yu Qingtang treats differently. Seeing her unwillingness to talk, she looks like anger but not anger, and she is like an autumn wind blowing through the lake in her heart. A circle of uneasy ripples appeared.
She couldn't help reaching out, crossed the table, and put her hand on the back of Yu Qingtang's hand holding the bowl.
Smooth and delicate, with ice muscles and jade bones, like the best cold jade.
The moment the skin touched, Yu Qingtang's right hand holding the spoon paused, her eyelashes fluttered slightly, and she slowly raised her eyes.
The pupils are secluded, and the eyes looking at Cheng Zhanxi are bottomless.
Cheng Zhanxi's brows twitched, and a sense of unease instinctively came up, making her withdraw her hand in time.
She changed the subject and asked, "What are you going to do next?"
Yu Qingtang's expression was the same, and she said lightly, "What?"
"I'm talking about this class of students."
"The mid-term exam is next week, let's see the results." Yu Qingtang quickly ended the topic.
The two walked quietly on their way back to school.
"Mr. Yu."
"Um?"
"Do you have any plans for this weekend?"
"go home."
Cheng Zhanxi said nothing, then she lost the chance to meet each other at the famous mansion.
"What about Teacher Cheng?"
Cheng Zhanxi was stunned for a moment, only to realize that Yu Qingtang was asking herself, she couldn't help smiling, and replied, "Looking at the house, the place where I lived was too far, I want to be closer to the school, so I can go home and sleep at noon."
"En." Yu Qingtang put both hands in the pockets of the windbreaker and nodded lightly.
The wind was blowing at the school entrance, and Yu Qingtang's long hair was ruffled by the wind. She shook her head, but her long hair was still obstructing her vision, which was annoying. Yu Qingtang was just about to take her hand out of her pocket, her long and warm fingertips. Gently slid across her forehead and pinned her hair behind her small ears, her vision suddenly became clear.
The fingertips brushed the tip of the ear inadvertently, Cheng Zhanxi retracted his hand calmly, squeezed his fingers gently behind his back, and looked away.
The footsteps walking side by side merged into one, and the tacit understanding was like the same person.
Yu Qingtang peeked at Cheng Zhanxi's tall and slender figure from the corner of his eye, and he didn't say thank you, which should have been naturally spoken, until he returned to the office.
The leaves on the tree began to fall.
The last class on Friday ended and the school bell rang.
Yu Qingtang retracted his gaze from the fallen leaves flying outside the window, and calmly stopped for a second on Cheng Zhanxi, who was diagonally opposite.
The teachers in the office were like birds out of their cages, regaining their freedom and running faster than each other.
Soon there were only Cheng Zhanxi and Yu Qingtang left in the office. Yu Qingtang was cleaning up his desk. Cheng Zhanxi was already ready to leave work, just waiting for Yu Qingtang.
Although they had to separate at the school gate.
Yu Qingtang watched Cheng Zhanxi's low-lying figure on the silver-white locomotive gallop away, and turned to the bus stop not far away.
The bus wobbled and arrived in the old town.
Yu Qingtang rode a bicycle across the ancient town, the bells jingling.
She suddenly remembered a lie she once told Cheng Zhanxi. Cheng Zhanxi asked her if she would ride a bicycle, and she answered in a ghostly way, no, and now she can't remember the mood at that time.
Presumably Cheng Zhanxi just said it casually, and Yu Qingtang didn't know why she took it to heart.
She laughed self-deprecatingly.
After speeding up and riding to the door of the house, Yu Qingtang parked the bicycle and locked it, looking up at the closed courtyard door in front of her.
She opened the door with the key, and the yard smelled the aroma of food.
The newly hired Auntie Liu is very good at cooking, honest, forthright and enthusiastic. Last week, when Yu Qingtang didn't come back for the school sports meeting, Auntie Liu also took the initiative to call her to ask her.
She put the bag on the sofa in the living room, Aunt Liu had pointed ears, stuck her head out of the kitchen, and smiled kindly: "Miss Yu is back, the rice is already cooked, and the dishes will be ready soon."
Yu Qingtang nodded: "It's hard work."
Grandfather and grandmother Fang Wenjiao were still the same, greeted "back", did not treat each other with cold eyes, but also did not have the warmth of ordinary elderly people to treat their children and grandchildren, and asked for warmth.
However, Aunt Liu talks a lot, knowing that Yu Qingtang is a teacher, and she speaks every word.
Yu Qingtang was eating, responding briefly from time to time without showing impatience.
Aunt Liu washed the dishes and cleaned the kitchen. Before leaving, Yu Qingtang gave her a red envelope.
An old spy war movie was playing on the TV. Yu Qingtang looked at the clock on the wall and urged the two old people to sleep when it was time. She went upstairs and took a shower by herself.
When she came out of the bathroom, she glanced at the mobile phone on the desk and paused for a moment, as if a trace of inexplicable expectations had arisen.
With her long hair half dry, Yu Qingtang picked up the phone.
The notification interface is full of messages.
Yu Qingtang slid off the screen and clicked in.
In order, Wen Zhihan's first, very long news, the content is that she has persuaded herself countless times, let her go abroad to study for a Ph.D., the reasons are similar.
Yu Qingtang went through it roughly and replied with a full stop.
Yu Qingtang planned to read the information shared by other teachers in the math group group before going to bed.
As if losing patience, Yu Qingtang swiped up and down quickly, the chat records belonging to Cheng Zhanxi were still in the daytime.
It has been four hours since Teacher Li Cheng separated from her at the school gate.
Yu Qingtang frowned invisibly, clicked into the input box, stayed with her fingertips on the virtual keyboard for two seconds, didn't press it, and backed out.
She continued to check other news, and one turned out to belong to Wei Jingfeng—a cousin who was a few months older than her, the son of Erbo Wei.
Wei Jingfeng: [Sixth brother will pass through Sicheng on a business trip recently, and brought some gifts for seventh sister, is it convenient to meet? 】
Yu Qingtang looked at the news with a confused expression.
She didn't have any impression of the Wei family, especially the juniors of the Wei family. If Wei Jiu hadn't called her last time, she would not have recognized each other even if they were face to face.
Two of the Wei family members older than her died. One of the young masters died in the year she was born. In addition, she killed her mother. The Wei family said she was unknown. When other juniors of the Wei family scolded her, they often talked about such words.
Wei Jingfeng and his fifth-ranked sister were twins who looked alike. In Yu Qingtang's impression, they seemed to be the only two who didn't bully her much when they were young. But the relationship is not close, and there is no intersection from childhood to adulthood.
Wei Jingfeng is one of the most favored grandchildren of the Wei family. The old man values him very much and often takes him by his side.
What did he suddenly send a message to himself?
Yu Qingtang didn't reply, even more lazy to think about it, and closed the chat box.
***
Cheng Zhanxi had eaten, called his grandparents, and coaxed the old man to be happy. Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, it was past ten o'clock in the evening.
The old man couldn't bear to go to sleep, and Cheng Zhanxi finally had time to "harass" Yu Qingtang.
Yu Qingtang sat in front of the desk and read a book, holding it in his hand. It took him a long time to read a few pages, and the screen of his mobile phone lit up.
Cheng Zhanxi: [Is Teacher Yu asleep? 】
Yu Qingtang's heart swayed slightly, the sense of loss that always felt that something was missing was quietly filled, her shoulders could not help stretching, and the lines of her face softened unconsciously.
Yu Qingtang moved her finger to the lock screen key, wanting to calm down and read a book for a while.
Cheng Zhanxi: [I was on the phone with my family just now, and it was late [Program Bixin.jpg]]
Yu Qingtang paused with her fingertips, moved away from the lock screen key, and typed: [En]
"The other party is typing" was displayed at the top of the screen, Yu Qingtang panicked for no reason, and the message was sent out faster than her: [I'm going to sleep]
Cheng Zhanxi deleted the words in the input box one by one.
[Cheng Zhanxi]: Good night, Sister Yu
[Yu Qingtang]: Good night
Cheng Zhanxi leaned lazily in the rattan hanging chair in the living room, with one foot hanging in the air, the corners of his lips turned up in the swaying creaking sound.
As soon as she spoke, Yu Qingtang replied in seconds, and said she was going to sleep. Did Yu Qingtang wait for her news all night?
Yu Qingtang closed the book, took off his shoes, lay straight on the bed, and closed his eyes.
The wind blew through the small bamboo forest in the yard, making a humming sound, which made people feel restless.
Yu Qingtang turned over and pulled the quilt up to cover the top of his head.
Bamboo leaves rustled, and the moonlight came in from the window, coating it with a soft halo. The woman tucked one hand on the quilt, the skin on the back of the hand was smooth, and it was like a beautiful jade under the moonlight. In her sleep, her eyebrows and eyes were sometimes tightened, and sometimes her face was stretched out, like a girl Hanchun's mind.
Yu Qingtang had a dream all night, and when she woke up the next morning, she forgot about it. She only vaguely felt that it was a rare and beautiful dream. The heart-filled satisfaction continued into reality, and she lay in bed for a long time, covering her wet eyelids with the back of her hands. .
She adjusted her mood and got up to take a shower.
Looking back at her phone, Cheng Zhanxi sent her a message at six o'clock: [Morning Run]
Yu Qingtang: "..."
[Yu Qingtang]: Teacher Cheng got up really early
Cheng Zhanxi returned to her after ten minutes: [It's okay, I'm used to it, does Teacher Yu want to try it? I will call you in the morning]
Yu Qingtang: [No]
Cheng Zhanxi laughed silently for a while, then typed: [I have breakfast, I will go to see the house later, I may be very busy today]
Yu Qingtang: [Yes]
Cheng Zhanxi and the agency made an appointment at nine in the morning. The locomotive was too eye-catching and it was inconvenient to park on the roadside, so he took a taxi and met at the gate of the community.
She arrived first, the watch on her wrist reached 9:02, and the agent trotted over from the other side of the road, wearing a pink shirt, white pants, and a company badge around her neck.
"Hello, Miss Cheng, I'm sorry for being late." He apologized aloud, and took her in without delay.
The Mingmen Mansion is much more upscale than the community where Cheng Zhanxi lives now. The greening is excellent, with a large man-made landscape and a quiet environment. The sound outside is quiet a lot when you enter, as if you are separated from another world. Cheng Zhanxi often paints in the studio, and he has high requirements in this regard. He was worried that the city center would be noisy, but now he has dispelled his worries.
The intermediary introduced the situation of the community to her as she walked, and she never stopped talking.
Cheng Zhanxi understood Yu Qingtang's feelings before, and interrupted him politely, "Just show me the house."
The agent wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Okay."
Cheng Zhanxi handed him a tissue.
Agent: "Thank you, thank you."
Passing through an artificial lake, there was a pair of white swans in the middle of the lake. Cheng Zhanxi glanced back and followed the agent into the building. The agent greeted and registered with the front desk on the first floor, and then swiped the elevator card to enter.
The intermediary pressed on the 10th floor and said, "The houses here are two houses on one ladder, and the security is very strict. Unfamiliar visitors have to call to ask for registration, which is very popular with women." It is very popular with women. Xi does not like to talk too much, so he only chooses the important things to say.
Cheng Zhanxi nodded.
The photos were taken on the spot, and the inside of the house was not much different from what Cheng Zhanxi had seen before, but the decoration style was diametrically opposite to her liking.
Cheng Zhanxi thought for a while, her eyes couldn't suffer from this grievance for a long time, so she asked, "Is there anything else? It's not so gorgeous."
The agent said: "Yes, there are two sets."
After reading two sets, Cheng Zhanxi decided to choose the second set. The intermediary called the landlord, and the landlord said that it had been rented out, ten minutes before Cheng Zhanxi decided.
Cheng Zhanxi: "..."
Agent: "I'm sorry, Miss Cheng, why don't we look at the third set?"
Cheng Zhanxi couldn't accept the third set and the first set.
Cheng Zhanxi: "Is there nothing else?"
She frowned, and if it really didn't work, she simply bought the first set and re-installed it, throwing away the ceiling and furniture and replacing it with a new one.
At this moment, the intermediary slapped his forehead and said, "I remembered, there is another set!"
Cheng Zhanxi raised his eyes: "Where?"
The intermediary looked hesitant again and said, "But in this house, the landlord has very high requirements for the tenant. Miss Cheng, please listen to it first. If you are not satisfied with the landlord, we will not waste time reading it." This is a good saying, Obviously, the tenant failed to meet the requirements, and he was said to be dissatisfied with the landlord.
Cheng Zhanxi smiled with interest: "What's the requirement?"
The intermediary took out the mobile phone and seemed to be flipping through something, and then read: "Only rented to women, single, unmarried, not divorced, simple social relations, master's degree or above, legitimate occupation, regular work and rest, no bad Hobbies, no pets, quiet personality, doesn't often bring friends over..."
After he finished reading, Cheng Zhanxi nodded and said with a smile, "Okay, take me to see the house."
The intermediary looked at her with a slightly shocked look, and added: "In the end, the landlord needs to meet in person before deciding whether to rent it or not, and the price is higher than the previous ones."
The more he said that, the more interested Cheng Zhanxi was in this house. "take me to."
Cheng Zhanxi fell in love with the latest set almost at first sight. The modern decoration is simple in style, mainly black and white and gray, with a touch of bright color occasionally, the wallpaper is brand new, the living room and room are all floor-to-ceiling windows, with a wide field of vision, standing in front of the window, open your arms, you can feel like you can embrace the whole city.
There are very few extra things inside. Cheng Zhanxi walked around and already had a preliminary decoration plan in his mind.
She kept nodding and asked the agent to call the landlord.
The agent stepped aside, came back after a while, put his hand on the microphone, and said, "The landlord is not here now, can we meet tomorrow afternoon?"
Cheng Zhanxi nodded: "Yes."
Cheng Zhanxi walked in and heard the intermediary confirming the time and place with the other party.
Four o'clock in the afternoon the next day.
Cafe near Mingmen Mansion.
Cheng Zhanxi and the intermediary went in together, and the aroma of coffee beans filled the air.
There was no one in the cafe in the afternoon, Cheng Zhanxi looked around and found a familiar figure sitting by the window.
He has a beautiful face, long black hair pinned behind his small ears, and a tear mole at the end of his left eye.
"Mr. Yu!" Cheng Zhanxi stepped forward quickly.
Yu Qingtang looked at her, and then at the agent who was a few steps behind her, her expression flashed with a hint of clarity.
Cheng Zhanxi didn't know it at all, and said in surprise, "Why are you here?"
Is this a fateful meeting?
The agent hurried up and looked at the two of them in surprise, and immediately smiled: "Miss Cheng and Miss Yu know each other, that's great. Miss Cheng, you don't have to worry about your house."
Cheng Zhanxi seemed to notice something, and opened his mouth in surprise to Yu Qingtang: "Are you the landlord?"
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
Yu Qingtang: Is it unexpected? Surprised or not?
Quietly tell everyone a secret, the whole building where Sister Yu lives is hers...
