I have ten trillion licking dog gold

If you have a single puzzle piece in front of you, you might be completely clueless, but if you have two pieces, you can search for and link them together.

Old Min's shouts also affected Tong Dan. Her attention had been entirely on her boss, but now that she was carefully examining him, her face gradually showed the same surprise and confusion.

Hello.

He looks a bit like their high school homeroom teacher.

"Princess Qing, look, isn't he..."

Tong Dan quickly and secretly tugged at Fang Qing.

Seven or eight years have passed since she left for high school, and Tong Dan couldn't be sure for a moment.

"Teacher Min."

Okay.

Fang Qing's voice told her the answer.

"Ha, it really is you two girls, you've both grown so beautiful."

Old Min beamed with a warm smile, wiped the sweat from his brow, his previous gloom vanished, and loudly introduced the game to his fellow players.

"These are two students I taught before."

Even if we don't know what achievements Fang Qing and Tong Dan have made, their image and temperament alone are enough to make us proud.

Almost all the people playing on the court were faculty and staff of Shacheng Middle School. With so many students, it was normal to run into former students. He looked at Fang Qing and Tong Dan with admiration, and then said with half-respect and half-joking, "No wonder Old Min could recognize them. If I had such beautiful students, I would remember them too."

These educators, who have been in the profession for decades, have taught hundreds or even thousands of students. It's impossible for them to remember every single one of them. Those who can leave an impression must have unique characteristics.

Fang Qing was an excellent student in both character and academics, and also had an outstanding appearance. I believe no teacher would forget such a student.

Tong Dan's grades might be a little worse, but she and Fang Qing were inseparable, almost always holding hands when they went to the toilet together. So the two formed a bond, and thinking of one would easily remind one of the other.

He stopped playing ball and walked towards the sidelines with a smile.

"Teacher Min."

Tong Dan was embarrassed and ashamed. She was extremely unlucky. She was just trying to provide emotional value to her boss, but she ended up criticizing her former homeroom teacher.

Old Min, a teacher by profession, didn't take it to heart; his heart was filled with the joy of reuniting with his former students.

"Long time no see! I wouldn't have recognized you two if you hadn't appeared together. I didn't expect you two to be so close in high school and still together now. Good, very good."

Old Min smiled with satisfaction, "You've all started working, right?"

"Teacher Min, we've all graduated for a few years now."

Tong Dan tried to adjust her emotions, and her demeanor and tone quickly returned to normal, with a polite and respectful smile on her lips.

What kind of work do they do?

Old Min asked with concern.

"I work for an airline."

Tong Dan kept a low profile and didn't boast in front of her teacher, "Fang Qing is now a top lawyer."

"Really? I knew from the start that you two would amount to something!"

Old Min's words were definitely meant to praise Fang Qing. You could tell from his gaze that he was speaking to Fang Qing. However, as a teacher, with both students in front of him, he certainly couldn't show too much favoritism.

Do you have a boyfriend yet?

Like elders, when teachers meet, they tend to care about each other's work and relationships.

It's good that they didn't directly ask if I was married or not.

"No, I'm single. Sigh, nobody likes me."

Tong Dan sighed.

Old Min pointed at her, "You're still the same as you were in high school. It's not that no one wants you, it's that your standards are too high, and you look down on others. Let me tell you, the most important thing for a man is character. No matter how successful he is in his career or how handsome he is, if his character is flawed, it's all just empty talk..."

My old habit as an educator has resurfaced.

However, it was purely out of good intentions.

"Is the teacher still responsible for teaching?"

Tong Dan smiled and nodded, indicating that she was listening attentively to the instruction, but then quickly interrupted the other person.

Lost memories are stirring up again in my mind.

Back in high school, while working in the political education department, Lao Min also served as the homeroom teacher and Chinese language teacher for their class 11.

As we all know, Chinese language teachers are the most talkative. They can analyze a single text for several lessons. Moreover, as the director of the teaching affairs office, they are also responsible for political education. With these additional advantages, their eloquence is unimaginable. If they were allowed to express themselves freely, it would never end.

"No, after teaching you all, I taught another class, and then I stopped teaching. I couldn't keep up with the energy. Look, my hair has turned white."

His temples were dotted with gray hairs, but it's not normal for someone over fifty to have gray hair.

"I think Coach Min is full of energy and plays basketball so well."

Tong Dan complimented.

"Hey! Don't even mention it."

Old Min shook his head and sighed. Only then did he realize what had happened. His expression changed slightly, and he turned back to look at the kid who had just been "too bad" to him.

"he is……"

"Teacher Min doesn't recognize him? Jiang Chen from Class 5, he and Fang Qing are childhood friends."

After Tong Dan's reminder, Lao Min instantly remembered. Logically speaking, even his own students might not be able to remember it, let alone students from other classes, but Jiang Chen seemed to be an exception.

"I see!"

He suddenly realized, and didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "I meant, what's wrong with this young man..."

Case solved.

Everything has come to light.

No wonder it was supposed to be a team game, but it turned into a one-on-one match. It turns out he wasn't misunderstanding; he was genuinely being targeted.

"Fang Qing, you two... you should..."

What is fate?

It's just that everyone around you thinks it should be this way.

Fang Qing didn't answer her high school homeroom teacher Lao Min's question. Instead, she looked at the guy who was still playing basketball and stood aside, and shouted, "Don't you recognize Teacher Min?"

"boom!"

The basketball bounced off the backboard. Hearing Qingmei's shout, someone walked over from the basketball court, slightly out of breath, with a look of surprise on his face.

"Are you Director Min?"

Old Min was annoyed. He knew perfectly well that the kid was pretending to be stupid. He turned around and, instead of facing his student's kindness and friendliness, gave a forced smile.

"If Tong Dan hadn't reminded me, I wouldn't have recognized you. No wonder you played so well just now."

Tong Dan tried hard to suppress the involuntary upward curve of her lips.

"I'm sorry, Director Min, I didn't recognize you either. How do you have the energy to play ball yourself?"

"..."

Old Min looked gloomy and said irritably, "I not only play ball myself, but I also eat myself now."

Jiang Chen, seemingly unfazed, stood by the basketball court at his alma mater and asked with a smile, "You've retired at such a young age?"

"Not yet. I'm just not teaching anymore."

Old Min spoke leisurely, glancing sideways at someone.

"Still working in the Political Education Department."

"Yes. Since I'm no longer teaching, I have more energy to work on improving school discipline and conduct."

Jiang Chen sighed, seemingly feeling sorry for the other party, "So many years have passed, and the school still hasn't promoted Director Min. I thought Director Min would at least be a vice principal by now. Someone as capable as Director Min should definitely be promoted to a higher position..."

Old Min's expression changed repeatedly. After decades of working in education, he found that he couldn't even win an argument with a student when it came to sarcastic remarks.

Also.

When those students were dragged into his political education office, they were all trembling with fear; who would dare to talk back?
Of course. He wasn't angry at all; in fact, he even laughed.

"You little rascal, you still hold a grudge about what happened back then. Wasn't your teacher thinking about your future back then? Besides, aren't you two together now?"

Jiang Chen had a reason for impersonating a teacher from the Political Education Department.

This is not.

It turned out that the imposter had run into the real deal.

What happened back then?

Tong Dan was curious, but Lao Min's misunderstanding was ignored.

"What else could it be but puppy love, of course?"

The students have all grown up; there's no need to beat around the bush anymore.

Old Min, as usual, started to adopt his affected tone, putting on the airs of the director of the political education department, with a serious face, "The impact of early romantic relationships on studies is self-evident. You are the best students in the entire Shacheng, which is why you entered Shacheng Middle School. As the school, we naturally have to be responsible for you. I am the director of the political education department, and at the same time, I am also your homeroom teacher. This is something I cannot shirk."

Tong Dan was surprised.

"How come we don't know?"

Then she turned her head and asked, "Do you know?"

Fang Qing shook her head.

"I didn't communicate with Fang Qing, I only talked to Jiang Chen."

Old Min explained.

Teachers naturally tend to favor their own students, especially when the student is academically excellent and well-behaved, and is a girl at that.

Instead, finding a boy would definitely be much more suitable.

Ok.

That's right.

Jiang Chen, who studied so hard back then, experienced the abuse of power at such a young age due to unfounded suspicions. He was taken to the terrifying office of the director of the political education department by the homeroom teacher of another class and reprimanded, and not just once.

Enemies are extremely jealous when they meet.

Can you blame him for giving it his all on the field just now?

"Ms. Min... how did you know they... were dating?"

Tong Dan opened her mouth, glanced at the helpless person, and felt something was off.

The young couple they met in the teaching building not long ago, could they be considered to be in a puppy love relationship?

Could Fang Qing and Jiang Chen have been considered a couple back then?
Jiang Chen was a blockhead back then, completely oblivious to romance.

"Hmph, I've been teaching for decades. Before you, I've taught countless students. Do you think I wouldn't see through your little schemes?"

Old Min pushed up his glasses, looking shrewd, insightful, and smug.

Tong Dan's expression became even stranger.

Okay.

It turns out that there are so many interesting little stories in my long-gone memories of youth that I never discovered.

So Jiang Chen, whom she hated so much back then, had suffered so much injustice.

"You know nothing at all?"

Tong Dan asked Fang Qing in a low voice once again.

Why didn't you tell me this?

Tong Dan asked her, and she asked someone who kept their mouth shut.

Obvious.

She was kept in the dark by both men from beginning to end.

"You still haven't said anything?"

Old Min was surprised.

"Weren't you threatening me, telling me not to speak? Ordering me not to have any impact on Fang Qing?"

Old Min was embarrassed, feeling a bit ashamed. "What do you mean by 'threat'? That was an agreement. I haven't punished you, have I?"

Jiang Chen sighed and nodded, "Yes, yes, you are thinking of Fang Qing wholeheartedly, hoping that she can focus on her studies, get into a good university, and strive for a bright future for herself."

This isn't being sarcastic or sarcastic.

Not now.

Actually, he never held a grudge against the other party back then.

Teachers, besides parents, are the people who most want you to have a good life, and this director of the political education department has done just that for Fang Qing.

"Fang Qing has lived up to your expectations. You should be very pleased."

Looking at the child's sincere smile amidst his helplessness, Old Min pursed his lips. He never felt he had done anything wrong, but suddenly felt a little guilty.

Yes.

He was fair to his students, but he was inevitably a little unfair to this child.

“Jiang Chen, back then, I was a little anxious. Fang Qing was a top student in the school. If her grades were affected because of early romance, I wouldn’t be able to explain it to her parents, to the school, or to my own responsibilities. I felt that as a boy, you should be able to handle things better. I’m not trying to break you up; I just hope you can have a more stable and happier future.”

Tong Dan remained silent.

Fang Qing also remained silent.

Jiang Chen smiled and nodded, "Teacher Min, I understand. So we're just following your advice, aren't we?"

Old Min smiled and nodded with satisfaction.

"Yeah, I called you over to talk so many times back then, and I realized then that you were different from other kids. No wonder Fang Qing liked you."

Jiang Chen chuckled.

The puppy love was just a misunderstanding. He tried to explain, but the other party was only interested in him. As a student, he was powerless and could only submit to the other party's "tyranny".

But to say these things in front of Qing Gege now, isn't that like throwing mud at someone?

He doesn't mind being falsely accused, but he can't let Princess Qing be wronged.

"We are relieved to see that Teacher Min is still in such good health."

Jiang Chen changed the subject.

"Seeing you two still together puts my mind at ease. After the college entrance exams, I saw that one of you went to Kyoto and the other to Tokai, and I thought..."

Old Min breathed a long sigh of relief, as if a weight had been lifted from his shoulders.

"Did Teacher Min even look at my college application choices?"

"That is."

Old Min laughed, "After all, you're the student who's been to my office the most."

"Pfft."

Tong Dan covered her mouth, unable to suppress a laugh.

Old Min turned to Fang Qing and said, "I've dragged this kid over so many times, and he never complained. He also kept his promise, allowing you to perform steadily and get into your ideal university. He's much better than those smooth-talking boys. Fang Qing, this kid is good; he's someone you can rely on."

Is this a belated compensation for someone?
These are probably heartfelt words.

"Ms. Min, have you dealt with many students who are in early romantic relationships?"

To avoid embarrassing Qinggege, Jiang Chen quickly picked up the conversation again.

"What you're saying is true. As long as I'm in this position, no one will slip through the net. Thanks to the tireless efforts of our Political Education Department, Shacheng Middle School has developed an excellent school spirit. All students are dedicated to their studies, and none of them are preoccupied with petty emotions."

Old Min waved his hand with a powerful and resounding gesture, his face beaming with pride and majesty.

Jiang Chen nodded respectfully, as if he had completely forgotten that he had just bumped into a young couple on a date at school not long ago. "Director Min's work ability is truly outstanding."

Not to mention Tong Dan, even Fang Qing couldn't help but laugh out loud; her pursed lips were delicate and charming in the light. (End of Chapter)
