It's the students' fault if they are too popular.

"Hello, gym specials..."

"Need not."

Tong Yao was buying milk tea when she heard a familiar voice nearby. She looked around and was surprised to find a figure in the school uniform of the branch school. It was Xia Zhi, who was trying to distribute flyers to the boys in Class 7, but was rejected by the boys.

"What are you looking for?" Ruan Qian asked curiously, biting the straw.

"He seems to be a student in my class." Tong Yao took the milk tea, thanked him, and immediately turned and walked away.

"50% off at the gym..."

"Little sister, are you from the No. 1 Middle School branch?" Ji Chen recognized the school uniform and was quite interested. "Then we are all alumni."

Most of the students from the main campus feel superior to the students from the branch campus. After all, the students from the first high school are synonymous with excellence. Even after graduation, they are happy to show off in front of their junior sisters.

"Xia Zhi."

The girl was stunned. She had no relatives or friends here. When she heard someone calling her name, her first reaction was that she was hallucinating. She turned around and found Teacher Tong standing in front of her. There was some concern and worry in her words:

“Are you working again?”

Xia Zhi subconsciously hugged the flyer in his arms: "Yeah."

"one person?"

“There are some students working there too… but I don’t know them.”

"It's better to find a companion, it's safer." Tong Yao said, and stretched out his hand, "Give me one."

Xia Zhi was stunned.

"What? You don't dare to distribute flyers to the class teacher?" Tong Yao laughed.

“No,” the girl shook her head hurriedly. “After handing out flyers, I still have to scan the code and fill out the questionnaire. It’s a bit troublesome…”

Nursery rhyme: "..."

"Okay." She took out her cell phone and scanned a code without any hesitation. She filled in all the personal information on the questionnaire with false information. Anyway, she just had to help Xia Zhi complete the task.

"Teacher Tong, she is your student, right?" Other students came over and took out their phones, "Then let's get one for our junior sister too."

Xia Zhi was flattered for a moment: "Okay, just scan this QR code."

"Oh," Ji Chen said, "Hey, we are Teacher Tong's previous class of students."

The girl nodded repeatedly and bowed: "Hello, senior."

"Oh, no, no."

In front of the milk tea shop, Yin Jiali whispered, "Ruanruan, isn't she a love rival?"

Ruan Qian bit the straw tightly and shook her head: "Let's go get the flyers too."

She walked up to Xia Zhi and asked for a flyer. Xia Zhi called her "senior sister". Facing a girl who was three years younger than her and working hard, Ruan Qian couldn't treat her like a love rival. She smiled gently like a senior sister and said, "Don't let working interfere with your studies."

"Um...thank you, senpai."

"You should learn from these seniors," Tong Yao never forgot to seize the opportunity to teach, "This senior was admitted to Tsinghua University, and this senior was admitted to University A."

Xia Zhi opened his mouth in shock. He had not expected that someone who studied at such a prestigious university was right in front of him:

"Amazing."

"No way, it's nothing great." Ji Chen couldn't pull down the upturned corners of his mouth. His heart was flattered. It was a typical case of audio and picture being out of sync.

After eating and drinking, the rain still didn't stop. A group of boys thought about going to the Internet cafe to play, but were protested by the girls. Finally, after discussion, they decided to go to the badminton hall to play badminton together.

"It's late. Ruanruan and I won't go." Tong Yao looked at the time. It was not too late, but she had to go back to No. 1 Middle School to get the car and pick up Dongyang from her mother's house. Time was running out. "Have fun, guys."

"Ah?" the boy cried regretfully.

Without two pretty girls, the party instantly became less lively.

Although they will soon realize that playing with their brothers is also delicious.

"Goodbye, Teacher Tong~"

"Bye-Bye."

After saying goodbye to each other, she and Ruan Qian were the only ones left under the eaves of the milk tea shop.

And there is Xia Zhi.

"Have you distributed all the flyers?" Tong Yao asked.

"Yeah." Xia Zhi said.

The drainage system of the pedestrian street was average, and the rain on the road was a bit turbulent. When you stepped on it, the water flowed in a bifurcated manner, wetting your heels and socks. People with umbrellas walked through the rain, and a child was playing with the umbrella, splashing water everywhere. Tong Yao was still looking down at her phone, and suddenly, she was pulled into the arms of the little girl. She was still a little confused, and then she saw two naughty children running wildly in the rain in raincoats, using umbrellas as weapons to attack each other. They were like two sea kings, causing complaints from people around them.

It's like a typhoon passing through.

"Whose child is this..." She frowned and sighed, then looked down at her legs. She was wearing an A-line skirt that reached her knees. Although she was just pulled over softly, the dark brown mud was still splashed on her legs by the naughty child. The feeling of the stains... was terrible.

"It's okay." Ruan Qian squatted down and took out toilet paper in front of Tong Yao's astonished gaze.

"What are you doing!" Although she had realized it, Tong Yao still asked subconsciously. Then, Ruan Qian held her ankle and carefully wiped the mud off her legs.

"I'll just go home and wash it..." She didn't dare to struggle hard.

"It's very uncomfortable to have mud on your legs."

"But..." She noticed that Xia Zhi's face was blushing and his eyes were secretly glancing at the two of them. She felt even more embarrassed. Would she be mistaken for a perverted teacher who asked her students to wipe her legs?

She whispered, "…what kind of words are these?"

It was probably because Ruan Qian was too serious, like a collector protecting her treasures, that she felt so embarrassed. After finishing, she gently retracted her legs, which did make her feel a lot fresher, but at the cost of her own face.

She looked at Xia Zhi and thought that this kid was not the kind of person who liked to gossip. She was about to call a car to go home, but then she remembered that Xia Zhi probably didn't have money to take a taxi, so she asked:

"Let's go back to school, you can come with us."

But Xia Zhi said, "Thank you, teacher, but I have to go get my wages, so I can't go with you."

For jobs like distributing flyers, wages are mostly paid on a daily basis.

"Where are you going to get married? You're not even 16 years old, you're still a child laborer, right?"

"It's in the gym on the third floor." Xia Zhi bit her lip and did not answer the second question.

"Ruanruan, I'll go with her. I'm worried about her because she's so young." Tong Yao said as she threw the milk tea cup into the trash can.

"I'll accompany you." Ruan Qian smiled.

Went upstairs.

Ruan Qian looked at the junior schoolmate who was talking to the manager behind the glass door, raised the corner of her lips towards Tong Yao, and said softly: "Teacher Tong cares about her a lot."

"Her family conditions are not very good, and it seems a bit complicated. Besides, she is my class monitor..." Tong Yao said halfway, and suddenly realized, "Are you jealous?"

"Well," Ruan Qian came closer to face him, "You need a kiss to coax him."

What an old joke! Tong Yao laughed and said:

"Go home and kiss."

"No, kiss here." Ruan Qian took a few steps towards the stairwell. The corridor was dark despite the busy commercial street. No business was willing to pay to turn on a light bulb in the corridor. She tilted her head and hooked her finger, "Come on."

The nursery rhyme was bewitched.

They hid in the darkness, their lips touched, separated briefly, and then kissed passionately. She hugged the little girl's waist, and the little girl hugged her, and then...

"Hmm." The little girl groaned as Tong Yao hit her stomach with her knee.

The two separated, Tong Yao's face flushed, and she held up her skirt, protecting this forbidden area that had just been invaded.

"There's something wrong with you," she said angrily.

"I couldn't help it," the girl admitted.

She wanted to settle the score with the girl, but heard a quarrel coming from the gym just across the wall.

"But he said before that it would be paid by the day!"

"It's useless for me to say so. Number seven will be the one to make the decision."

"I have classes on the evening of the 7th!"

"It's none of my business. Just do your job well these few days and I'll pay you on the 7th. If you don't do it well, you can leave."

Tong Yao frowned as she listened to the last few words as she walked into the gym. The manager thought she was a guest, so he left Xia Zhi and greeted her with a smile:

"Beauty, fitness?"

"I'm looking for her." She pointed at Xia Zhi and said calmly, "I'm her class teacher."

The manager's expression was a little stiff.

"Didn't you say it's paid on a daily basis?" She called Xia Zhi to her side and looked at the manager, "Why did you change it? Bullying a child?"

"No way..." The manager apologized with a smile. The man in front of him looked either rich or noble, and he didn't want to offend him. "I didn't explain it clearly at the beginning. We just want to settle the payment within seven days. Reputation is very important in doing business. How could we bully a child? How could we cheat her for such a small amount of money?"

Xia Zhi was so angry that she was shaking. Tong Yao held her down and said with a smile, "It's your fault that you didn't make it clear. So it's not too much to settle today's payment, right?"

The manager looked unhappy and both sides were in a stalemate, but they finally chose to settle the payment.

A total of five hours, 100 yuan.

Many things become simple when adults intervene. Many small evils only dare to show their fangs to children and outsiders.

“Didn’t I tell you to go find a teacher if you have any problems?” Tong Yao patted the girl’s head. “Don’t come here to work tomorrow. I know a store that’s pretty relaxing and pays well. Let’s go there.”

Xia Zhi took the hard-earned money, nodded, and felt like crying.

She has long known the dangers of society.

But she has just discovered the kind side of life.

Chapter 159: Like a Butterfly Flying Across the Sea

Tong Yao called a car, took them to the gate of No. 1 Middle School, and then changed back to her own car.

When going to pick up Dong Yang, Jiang Wu asked them to stay there tonight. Tong Yao smiled and said that there was a female student in the car and they had to take her back to school.

Jiang Wu looked at Ruan Qian next to her and said jokingly:

"One Ruan Qian isn't enough, so you found another one?"

"Mom," Tong Yao was embarrassed, "Dong Yang is still here."

Jiang Wu reacted, covered her mouth, and waved goodbye.

"Goodbye, aunt." Ruan Qian lowered her head slightly and took Dong Yang's hand.

Back in the car, Ruan Qian sat in the passenger seat, and Dong Yang sat in the back seat. When he saw Xia Zhi, he greeted her with a smile:

"Hello sister."

Xia Zhi sat up subconsciously and replied:

"H-hello."

——It’s the child from Teacher Tong’s family.

Looks so cute... doesn't look like a naughty child at all.

"Sister, do you want some biscuits?" Dong Yang took out a small bag of bear biscuits from his pocket, and he could smell the faint milky fragrance from a distance.

"Ah? No, no, just eat it yourself." Xia Zhi waved his hand.

"Dongyang, didn't you say we can't eat snacks at night?" Tong Yao said while driving.

When the child heard this, he stuck out his tongue mischievously and said:

"Just eat the last piece."

"Then it's settled, you can only eat one piece," said Tong Yao.

Ruan Qian turned around and smiled at Dong Yang, as if supervising him. Dong Yang curled his lips, indicating that he really only ate one piece.

The car was driving in the rain.

The windshield wipers in front of the car swept away the slightly gloomy night, and the rain splashed white water on the road ahead. Xia Zhi looked out the window, feeling the happy atmosphere in the car that did not belong to her, and her heart also felt a little warm.

Very envious.

I envy this happiness that I have never enjoyed.
