Just thinking about Qi Lu's inexplicably confident statement gave Shen Ting a headache.

She tentatively asked, "Ms. Liang, could I have another teacher to teach me? I..."

Before she could finish speaking, Liang Jie put on a polite smile.

"Can I give you more specific arrangements tomorrow? The other teachers aren't here today."

Having said all that, Shen Ting had no choice but to agree, and followed Qi Lu with a look of despair.

Fortunately, Qi Lu did not have another relapse in front of so many students.

He glanced at Shen Ting standing at the back of the classroom and gestured to a student to hand her a chair.

"There aren't any extra desks, so please make do for now," Qi Lu said.

Shen Ting nodded, without saying much to him.

Soon, the school bell rang, and Shen Ting sat at the back of the classroom, briefly observing the students.

The students in the middle and front rows listened attentively.

The further back in the row you sit, the easier it is to get distracted.

Especially the two boys in the last row, who kept looking around and whispering to each other.

They even secretly took the toys out when the teacher wasn't looking.

"Look! This is my new Ultraman toy. It can transform into a car, spray water, and even take pictures!"

Another student looked at him enviously: "Really! Can I borrow it to play with?"

The two were chatting happily, unaware of a watchful gaze from behind them.

"Two children,"

Shen Ting leaned closer and whispered, "Could I borrow it to play with too?"

Upon hearing the sound, the two students immediately jumped.

Upon seeing her gaze, he felt utterly despondent and obediently handed over the toy.

"Listen carefully in class, and I'll give it back to you after class," Shen said.

I thought that confiscating their toys would make them behave better and study properly.

Unexpectedly, one of them started to doze off while listening, while the other stared blankly at the table the whole time, never glancing at the blackboard.

Shen Ting found it strange and prepared to ask Qi Lu after class what was going on with the two children.

I had just gotten off work when Shi Yan sent me a message.

[Shi Yan: What time do you get off work? Where are you? I'll come pick you up.]

Shen Tingzheng hesitated whether to trouble him.

Qi Lu's voice came from behind: "Oh dear, Teacher Shen said she wasn't interested in me, but first she found my school, then she pinpointed my office, and now she's come to sit in on my class?"

Shen Ting: "..."

She rolled her eyes speechlessly and sent Shi Yan her location without hesitation.

"Teacher Qi, this is a school, please watch your words."

After saying that, she turned and left.

Qi Lu followed closely behind: "I'm quite curious, you didn't study education in college, did you? Why did you suddenly decide to become a teacher? And why does it have to be the school I'm at?"

"See? You came here for me. Don't be ashamed to admit it."

Shen Ting was so annoyed by him that she clenched her fists tightly.

If she weren't mindful of the occasion, she would have loved to punch him in the face.

Shen Ting quickly shook him off, walked to her office, packed her things, and prepared to leave.

Before leaving, she asked Liang Jie, "Teacher Liang, what time should I come tomorrow?"

Liang Jie was grading homework and didn't even look up when she heard the voice: "Just hold yourself to the standards of a full-time employee. Be at school at seven o'clock tomorrow and leave work at five-thirty in the evening."

Shen Ting nodded.

As she went down the stairs, another question came to her mind.

They live quite far from here; it takes them half an hour to drive there.

Next, I need to rent a new place, preferably near a school, so that my commute will be convenient.

Shen Ting walked to the door, but still didn't see Shi Yan, so she simply stood there and waited.

Unexpectedly, Qi Lu caught up with them again: "Want to grab a bite to eat together?"

Shen Ting turned around, pretending not to hear.

Qi Lu strode forward and showed his WeChat QR code.

"Let's add each other on WeChat. We'll be colleagues from now on, and we'll definitely need to communicate with each other."

As soon as they finished speaking, a pink electric scooter slowly stopped in front of them.

Qi Lu looked up and met Shi Yan's gaze.

The moment Shi Yan saw him, his gaze turned cold and fierce, and his lips tightened.

"Come up."

Shen Ting quickly stepped forward, got into the car, and couldn't help but glance at Qi Lu.

The contrast in appearance is a bit cruel.

She shrugged: "See? I have a boyfriend. He'll get jealous if you talk to me. You'd be better off focusing on teaching."

After saying that, she quickly tugged at Shi Yan's sleeve, urging him to ride away.

Otherwise, if Shi Yan were to slip up even slightly and show that he didn't like her that much, wouldn't Qi Lu have to keep pestering him again?

After riding for a while, Shi Yan kept a cold face and didn't say a word.

Shen Ting noticed that his mood was off, but couldn't figure out why.

Was he unhappy because he saw her talking to another man?

But doesn't he dislike her?

Or is it that the male's possessiveness has kicked in?

She asked tentatively, "What are we having for dinner?"

Shi Yan remained silent.

After riding for a few more minutes, he glanced at the rearview mirror and said in a calm voice, "What do you want to eat? Eat out or cook yourself?"

Shen Ting thought for a moment and said, "I'll do it myself."

Although the food outside is delicious, it is also expensive and contains a lot of oil and salt. Her current goal is to save money.

Shi Yan hummed in agreement and glanced at the rearview mirror again.

"who is he?"

Shen Ting didn't take it to heart: "He's just an ordinary colleague, he has some mental issues, don't overthink it."

Shi Yan didn't say anything more, but his mood didn't improve because of those words.

The way that man looked at Shen Ting just now was strange.

Moreover, the man was a teacher with a respectable job, while he was just a food deliveryman.

Shi Yan gripped the handlebars tightly.

*

The two arrived at the supermarket, and Shen Ting went straight to the vegetable section and bought some discounted vegetables.

Shi Yan stood beside her, watching her deftly select vegetables, but his brows gradually furrowed.

In his memory, Shen Ting couldn't distinguish between the five grains.

But now, she can decisively pick the vegetables she wants, pinch off the yellowed leaves, and her movements are so skillful that it seems she has done it many times before.

After buying the groceries, Shi Yan asked her if she wanted to eat fruit.

Shen Ting thought for a moment, then picked out some discounted, near-expiry fruits, not buying too many.

While the two were waiting in line to pay, Shen Ting remembered the matter of renting a house.

"If you're going to rent a place next, it's best to find one close to the school."

Shi Yan nodded: "I've already asked a few landlords, and I'll go check out the apartment in person tomorrow."

Shen Ting glanced at him with some surprise.

With more than half a month left before the rent was due, he was even more concerned than she was.

"Excuse me, could you please move aside?"

Just as she was about to say thank you, a couple pushing a shopping cart walked past her.

Shi Yan glanced at the couple and noticed that they were walking hand in hand.

He remembered that they had been together for so long, but had never held hands.

His Adam's apple bobbed up and down, and his slender fingers gradually floated in the air.

It was placed tentatively in Shen Ting's hand.

The warm touch made Shen Ting abruptly pull her hand back, and she subconsciously looked at Shi Yan.
