1979: My fiancée is a goddess

Chapter 19 Is he an assistant teacher?

Classroom 401 on the second floor of the teaching building next to the east gate of the Normal University is very lively.

"Have you heard? Today's foreign literature appreciation class is taught by a young female professor. It is said that she returned from studying abroad in East Germany. She is only in her thirties, but she is already an associate professor!"

"Wow! You studied in East Germany? Which university?"

Because the second class in the morning was a new course called "Appreciation of Foreign Literature".

Foreign literature was once banned, and even being able to speak a few words of English would be labeled as XXX.

After the resumption of the college entrance examination, educated young people tirelessly absorbed various spiritual nutrients, and many works of foreign literary masters were reprinted and entered the public eye.

Like "War and Peace", "Anna Karenina", "How the Steel Was Tempered", "The Metamorphosis", "The Castle"...

These books were so popular that they even influenced a generation of writers, with Anna Karenina selling hundreds of thousands of copies.

People like Yu Hua and Mo Yan are deeply influenced by the works of literary master Kafka.

During recess, the atmosphere on the balcony was very lively.

Some people moved a stool to bask in the sun, some were still exchanging knowledge points and opinions from the previous class, some were talking about political gains and losses, and some were reciting poems...

The people in Zhao Ruixue's dormitory were leaning on the railings in the corridor and chatting.

"I'm not sure about that. I heard it was from Humboldt University of Berlin. There's not only a new teacher, but also a new assistant."

Zhang Chun, a girl wearing glasses and a big cotton coat, said while biting a pencil.

"Xiaochun, how did you know that?" Ji Qinglan asked curiously.

"I heard it from Mr. Qi Gong. Several classmates and I followed Mr. Qi Gong to learn calligraphy." Zhang Chun said with a blink.

"That's it."

Everyone nodded and soon realized something was wrong. "Okay! Xiaochun, when did you go to practice calligraphy with Mr. Qi Gong and you kept it a secret from us! Watch out!"

"Whoa, whoa, whoa~"

Several girls started to play around.

not far away.

Song Jianchun, a man with fair skin, 1.7 meters tall and wearing a leather jacket, leaned against the door frame, watching Zhao Ruixue and her group playing with a smile in his eyes.

"Old Song! Old Song!"

Suddenly, a thin, dark-skinned man ran up from downstairs, panting and shouting, "Old Song, great news! The May Fourth Literature Society of our school has sent a notice that the love poem you submitted last week has passed the review and will be published in The Schooner next week!"

The man announced loudly and breathlessly.

The students on the balcony were stunned for a moment, and then burst into cheers.

"Of course! You are indeed a talented person in our department!"

"Great! This is a lot of money, right? Old Song's poems are usually more than ten lines long."

Some money-loving people immediately started to calculate. Nowadays, the royalties for poetry are generally one dollar per line.

"The school magazine doesn't cost much, at most fifty cents a line."

"That's fine too!"

A group of boys and girls surrounded Song Jianchun, asking this and that, including what the new poem was like.

Song Jianchun enjoyed the dazzling light and said that he would be able to see it next week, so there was no need to rush.

On the other side, Zhao Ruixue and his group looked at it from a distance.

"Hey, Ruixue, listen, Song Jianchun has finally published another poem, and this time it's in the school magazine!"

"Another love poem this time."

"Do you think it could be written to Ruixue again?"

A few people started discussing it, and in the end, gossip was still the most attractive thing.

"Stop talking nonsense. Comrade Song Jianchun and I have nothing to do with each other."

Zhao Ruixue felt helpless. To be honest, she didn't have the energy to think about these things.

Just going back home last week and seeing Cheng Kaiyan resulted in a lot of things happening.

What's more important is that she made Cheng Kaiyan unhappy for no reason. What happened at noon was indeed her mother's fault. Every grievance should be punished by its perpetrator. No matter what, she can't take her anger out on others, right?

Her mother also said a lot of words to belittle Cheng Kaiyan. Zhao Ruixue didn't dare to look at Cheng Kaiyan and Aunt Yuxiu's faces, let alone step into their house.

Although Zhao Ruixue didn't like Cheng Kaiyan as much as before, she didn't want to ruin their relationship. After all, they grew up together.

"After the game this week...I must go back and apologize to him."

Zhao Ruixue faced the sunshine and closed her eyes. She had been feeling complicated recently.

"Hey! What are you thinking about?"

Suddenly, a pair of big hands slapped Zhao Ruixue's thin shoulders, which frightened her so much that her heart jumped and she took a breath of cold air.

"Who? Kaiyan?"

Zhao Ruixue turned her head suddenly, and a young man with a faint smile appeared in front of her. At the same time, she was shocked.

Why is he here? Is he here to see me?
For some unknown reason, this answer popped up in the girl's mind.

Thinking of this, Zhao Ruixue asked, "Why are you here?"

"Let me see you."

Ah!
He really came to see me. Zhao Ruixue's heartbeat suddenly accelerated.

"Hey~ Isn't this my childhood friend? Are you here to see Ruixue again?" Ji Qinglan asked with a smile.

"Then we won't bother you. We don't want to be a light bulb."

After saying this, the three of them turned and walked into the classroom, still muttering to themselves.

"What do you think is the relationship between this childhood friend and Ruixue? Why did he run all the way from Xiaowei Hutong to Normal University to meet?"

"I'm not sure. Judging from Ruixue's appearance, they are closely related. I saw this name in Ruixue's diary before."

"But I think he is very good-looking, but he is not as talented as Song Jianchun, right? And he is still unemployed at home..."

"Maybe this is love? Even though my childhood friend is not as talented, capable, or educated as Song Jianchun, love has the power to break everything. Ah! Love is the supreme love. When will my love come?" Yang Mengshan recited while shaking her head.

Several girls spat, "Bah! You shameless fellow! How can you keep saying that?"

... "Ahem...don't listen to their nonsense."

"No, they are quite lively and nice."

Zhao Ruixue was a little confused. She pretended to be calm and stroked the black hair beside her ears. She said in a mosquito-like voice: "Um... are you in love..."

"Dingling bell~"

At this time, the class bell rang, disrupting Zhao Ruixue's words.

"What did you say? It's time to go to the classroom."

Cheng Kaiyan looked at the girl in confusion, and seeing that she was standing there in a daze, she pushed the girl's shoulder.

"Oh……"

Zhao Ruixue felt like her heart was about to jump out, her brain was in a mess, and she didn't hear clearly what he was saying. She just followed him into the classroom.

As for why Cheng Kaiyan followed him into the classroom, she didn't notice it, nor did she realize that anything was wrong.

At a glance, I saw that Zhao Ruixue's roommate was sitting in the first two rows, and there were two empty seats.

He walked straight over.

As a teaching assistant, Cheng Kaiyan naturally had to follow Jiang Ting's class and take notes. Besides, he had not finished correcting the homework books.

"Hmm? Who is this boy?"

"He's good-looking...very good-looking."

The two figures, one in front and one behind, quickly attracted the attention of the college students.

Firstly, Cheng Kaiyan is very beautiful, and secondly, Zhao Ruixue is also a top student who has attracted much attention.

Among them, Song Jianchun's reaction was the biggest. He immediately noticed that there was a handsome young man in front of Zhao Ruixue.

Especially after seeing the two of them sitting together, his heart suddenly rose to his throat and he became extremely alert.

"Which class is this boy from? Why have I never seen him before?"

Song Jianchun asked with a rather unhappy expression.

"Not really. I'm just a few times more handsome than you, Old Song. But in terms of talent, there are few people in my school who can match you."

A boy named Liu Shu, who was looking old, spoke slowly, with a hint of mockery in his eyes as he looked at Song Jianchun.

Song Jianchun has a good family background, good grades, and is talented.

But he is not good at the ways of the world, and he always acts very selfishly in the dormitory and in class.

In his opinion, this man named Song will suffer sooner or later.

"Da da da……"

Jiang Ting, who had an imposing aura, a cold temperament and seemed unattainable, walked into the classroom wearing leather boots.

The boys and girls in the classroom also looked at Jiang Ting in amazement.

"Hello students."

"Hello teacher!"

Everyone stood up, bent their waists, and then sat down in a hurry.

At this moment, the students' respect for the teacher comes from the heart.

"First of all, let me introduce myself to you. I am..."

Jiang Ting introduced herself, and then saw Cheng Kaiyan sitting next to a few girls, and she couldn't help but frowned.

After introducing herself, the classmates also had a simple impression of her.

"Professor Jiang is so beautiful. She is indeed a top student who has studied abroad."

"Just look at how Professor Jiang is dressed. Compared to her, we are just like little country girls." Ji Qinglan looked sadly at her red and green flowered jacket.

"Yeah, the temperament is so good."

……

The roommates were all sighing, but Zhao Ruixue reacted and quickly pushed Cheng Kaiyan, whispering: "Why did you come in too?!"

"Can I come in and sit down?"

As soon as he said this, Zhao Ruixue couldn't help but roll her eyes at him.

"Actually, I'm your new teaching assistant."

Cheng Kaiyan took out her homework book and started flipping through it.

"Liar!"

Zhao Ruixue naturally didn't believe it.

At this time, Jiang Ting on the stage saw this scene, her face turned cold, and she shouted: "Those two, go to class!"

Suddenly, the noisy atmosphere in the classroom became quiet.

Zhao Ruixue quickly stood up and apologized, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, teacher."

"You! Come on stage."

Jiang Ting pointed at Cheng Kaiyan expressionlessly.

Song Jianchun in the audience couldn't help but feel a little gloating. A new official has three things to do when he takes office, and this kid has walked into the trap.

"Teacher...he is not..."

Now Zhao Ruixue's face changed and she spoke hurriedly.

"Since Professor Jiang has called my name, let me introduce myself to you all. I am Cheng Kaiyan, the teaching assistant for this course. I will be responsible for providing you with consultation, answering questions, and arranging homework..."

Cheng Kaiyan stood up and went on stage and introduced herself to everyone.

Now, Zhao Ruixue and his roommates were all confused.

Isn’t he a childhood friend with a high school education?

How did you become a teaching assistant?
