When Chu Ye heard this, she lowered her head with a hot face. She peeked over with her peripheral vision and saw that Mu Jiajun still looked ashamed and embarrassed, and her heart was beating wildly uncontrollably.
Neither of them moved their chopsticks. A gust of breeze blew by. Time seemed to have passed a long life, but it also seemed to have only passed by for a short second. Then, Mu Jiajun's pretendingly calm voice came to his ears, "Hurry up." Try this, it’s delicious.”
Chu Ye said softly "Hmm".
The cold skin in the bowl is milky white and clear, with shredded bean sprouts and cucumbers, seasoning poured on top, and garnished with some red oil chili peppers. It looks really appetizing.
Chu Ye took the lead, stirred evenly and then put it into her mouth. Instantly, her mouth was occupied by the spicy and spicy flavor with a hint of coolness. She widened her eyes and nodded in agreement towards the other side. Mu Jiajun was relieved. Just now The embarrassment swept away, and he immediately raised his eyebrows and moved his chopsticks.
After eating, Chu Ye was about to ask about the price, but was stopped by Mu Jiajun. He took out the exact amount from his pocket and put it in the hands of the landlady.
"Hey, you've finished eating. Let's take a walk." The landlady said hello with a smile, still looking kind.
After the two of them had eaten, they walked slowly back to school. Chu Ye was still thinking about how Mu Jiajun had asked her to treat him before, but he ended up paying for it himself. She was puzzled and hesitated. Don't ask, but before she could speak, Mu Jiajun kept talking.
"Do you want some peanut candies?" Chu Ye looked up and happened to see an old man's stall on the right, which was selling peanut candies. Mu Jiajun on the side was in high spirits, as if he could do it if she said the word "buy". Cover all the stalls.
"No, I don't want to eat." Chu Ye replied.
"Oh."
Chu Ye considered his words in his heart and was about to ask.
"Then do you want to eat fruit?" This time on the left, Mu Jiajun looked at the stall selling apples and oranges, and then looked at Chu Ye expectantly.
"I was full just now, so I don't want to eat fruit." Chu Ye shook his head and waved his hands
"Oh."
Chu Ye took a deep breath, opened his mouth, and the words reached the tip of his tongue.
"Then do you drink orange soda?" Mu Jiajun pointed to the small blackboard hanging outside the door of the state-owned hotel, with big chalk words on it saying special iced soda.
Chu Ye swallowed back her words, and then looked at Mu Jiajun without saying a word. Her eyes fell on his face, carefully watching all his reactions.
Mu Jiajun was a little uneasy when he didn't get a reply from Chu Ye this time. He looked over with his peripheral vision and found Chu Ye staring at him. Embarrassment and bewilderment flashed across his face.
For a moment, the air seemed a little quiet. Chu Ye was still staring at him. The embarrassment on his face slowly turned into uneasiness, and then a trace of panic spread in his heart. He lowered his head in discomfort and glanced around randomly.
"What's wrong? Keep watching what I do."
"You said you were hungry. You asked me to treat you to dinner, but you ended up paying for it." Chu Ye asked.
It turned out that it was because of this that Mu Jiajun breathed a sigh of relief, and his originally panicked heart returned to calm.
"How can you ask a girl to pay for a meal together? It's impolite." He said it as it should be.
The two people were talking as they walked. They were almost at the school gate now, and there were far fewer vendors around.
"Then what did the landlady say just now that you've been here for so many days?" Chu Ye continued to ask.
She had already guessed something in her mind. She didn't ask it at the dinner table because she was hesitating whether to break the window. However, she has always been a person who doesn't like to hide things in her heart. She will do whatever she has and think about any confusion. To be confirmed.
Besides, she wasn't someone who didn't understand anything. Although her life was not good after marriage in her previous life, she was also moved by Zhao Xuesong's pretended elegance, so she knew that she had different feelings for Mu Jiajun.
Maybe it was the night when he sent her home every day during make-up classes; maybe it was the sudden appearance of his hard work when school started and ended; maybe it was the moment when we wrote letters to each other over the past two years and shared interesting things about our lives.
Maybe it's because his eyes that often smile are too touching.
She had determined her mind, and now she wanted to pierce the window paper.
"That's because, because..." He thought for a long time, but no excuse flashed through his mind that could give him an idea.
Chu Ye watched as the tips of his ears turned red again, and his eyelashes curled up like a pair of crescent moons.
"Because I'm going to come here these days, but you don't know the specific date, so you come here every day to check it out?" Chu Ye said his speculation, which was a little funny. Although this town is close to his school, it still takes a long time to get there by car. Where can I come here every day?
The blush on the tips of Mu Jiajun's ears spread to his cheeks. Fortunately, the two of them reached the school gate at this time. The guard might have gone to get food and was not here at the moment, otherwise he would have wanted to dig a hole in the ground immediately.
Mu Jiajun hesitated, opened and closed his lips several times and pursed his lips silently. Finally, he seemed to have finally made up his mind after being entangled in his heart, and said softly "Yeah".
Chu Ye's eyebrows became more arched, and the answers to some questions were gradually being confirmed. A long-lost sweetness welled up in her heart, "Why did you do this?"
These words seemed to touch upon Mu Jiajun's embarrassment. His face turned red, his fingers moved wildly, his eyes dodge several times, and he said "I" for a long time. "I'll leave if you don't tell me." Chu Ye turned around.
One step, two steps, three steps.
"I have feelings for you that go beyond comrades!"
Chu Ye turned around and saw Mu Jiajun staring closely into her eyes under the sunlight, his gray-blue eyes full of tension and anxiety.
"I don't understand. Please speak more carefully." Chu Ye shook his head gently, with a smile in his eyes.
And since Mu Jiajun said those words just now, it seems that the gate valve in his heart has been opened. Even if the flood release switch is only opened for a moment, the rushing river will not be able to stop its pace.
Once you say the first sentence, the next words will be much easier.
"Chu Ye, I like you." At this important moment, he put away the everlasting smile in his eyes and became more serious.
"Okay, I promise you." Chu Ye replied.
"What?" Mu Jiajun was stunned and subconsciously asked. After a moment, ecstasy flashed in his eyes.
"Are you serious?"
Chu Ye smiled and said nothing.
"No, no, this is too hasty. Just wait for me here, I'll come right away." Mu Jiajun muttered to himself, left a word and ran back to the road.
Chu Ye was full of doubts. Although she didn't understand what happened if the man ran away during this kind of romance, she still waited patiently with good temper out of trust in Mu Jiajun's character.
After a moment, Mu Jiajun's running figure appeared again on the far road. When he arrived in front of Chu Ye, he took out a bouquet of flowers from behind his right hand and said with a smile on his face, "Chu Ye, I like you, are you willing?" Do you want to date me? ”
The person in front of him had sweat beads on his forehead and the tip of his nose. He was still breathing slightly when he spoke. The bouquet in his hand didn't know where it came from. It didn't look fresh anymore. The rose petals inside were a little black, but Chu Ye couldn't help it. I won't admit it, this is the best bouquet she has ever received in her life.
"Yes." She nodded, and then took the bouquet. Her fingertips touched Mu Jiajun's, and an electric current instantly ran through their hearts. It was as if an invisible Cupid appeared in the air, holding a pink bow and arrow. Two hearts connected.
Mu Jiajun's eyes flashed with ecstasy, and he danced without any intellectual restraint. He couldn't wait to give Chu Ye a hug, but was afraid that it would be too abrupt, so in the end he could only look at Chu Ye and giggle.
"Where did you buy these flowers?" There were roses, lilies, etc. in them. He obviously didn't pick them from the roadside, but Mu Jiajun came back with flowers shortly after running out. It was obvious that the place where he bought the flowers was very close. Just now The two of them passed by there while eating, but Chu Ye didn't see any flower sellers.
"I bought this from a state-owned restaurant. When we came back, I saw this on their counter, so I spent money to buy it." He was just buying flowers, but now he noticed this flower It's not too fresh, he said in an apologetic tone, "It's an emergency today, so let's make do. I'll bring you something fresh next time."
"No need, this is already good." Chu Ye didn't dislike it, and was even moved that Mu Jiajun still insisted on sending her a bouquet at this time, as the beginning of a love affair.
But Mu Jiajun refused and insisted on bringing her something better next time. In the end, Chu Ye did not give in and planned to let him go.
The man at the door had already finished his meal and came back to guard the school gate. The two waited at the door for a while before a bus came back. After putting Mu Jiajun on the bus, Chu Ye returned to the dormitory with the flowers.
The girl in the same dormitory as Chu Ye is named Su Xiaoying. She was in the next class at school and her academic performance was also top-notch. She herself is pretty and has a bookish air.
Seeing that Chu Ye came back with flowers, she didn't ask any questions. Instead, she tried her best to help Chu Ye when he made the bed and packed his luggage, so Chu Ye also had a good impression of her.
Chu Ye found a useless bottle, filled it with water, and put the flowers in it. Soon, the whole dormitory was filled with the delicious fragrance of flowers, and even the mood of the person improved a lot.
They, the intern teachers, are not on duty for the time being because they are still waiting for arrangements from the school. They have eaten in the school cafeteria these two days, probably because the school leaders have told them that they can just go there directly when they have lunch.
Three days later, after becoming fully familiar with the campus and the schedules of teachers and students, the school leaders held a welcome ceremony for them.
The school leaders briefly introduced the basic situation of the school, and arranged for them to get familiar with the old teachers of the school. They also arranged for each person to take up which subject at which age in the future, and Chu Ye was in charge of the third-grade English subject.
This is not an easy task. The school leaders have diligently reminded that with the resumption of the college entrance examination, the importance of foreign languages has been mentioned again, but this new thinking has not yet spread to a small town like theirs. This year, their school plans to let Students start learning English in the third grade, which makes many parents dissatisfied. After leaders’ hard talk, parents are finally willing to let teachers lead their children to learn for a while.
The school leaders know that this task is arduous. Although the old teachers have more teaching experience, they may not be able to teach the children how to popularize English. However, these newly graduated students are better. They have experienced systematic education and are familiar with foreign languages. I understand, not to mention that the school leaders have seen Chu Ye’s transcripts during his time at school, and the subject of English is still top-notch.
"Teacher Chu, don't put too much psychological burden on them. They only need to learn basic English. It is more about cultivating their interest. You will teach for a while. If they don't adapt, I will adjust it for you." The school leader explained earnestly.
Chu Ye accepted this task and devoted himself intensively to preparing lessons. However, within a few days, an unexpected person appeared in school.
The person who came was none other than Zhou Wenlong, the man who blackmailed Chu Ye into becoming his girlfriend.
