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

"I love you."

"shameless."

"I love you." The child even argued with her.

At this time, there were already shouts of booing at the table.

Tong Yao had no choice but to turn to the girl on the left:

"I love you."

The girl's face turned red instantly.

"……shameless."

The girl said with her head down.

what? !

Tong Yao held her forehead with her hands, isn’t this a vicious circle?

She turned to Xu Yin helplessly:

"shameless."

Xu Yin answered persistently: "I love you."

"Oh! A love triangle!" the boys laughed.

“Record, record!”

After repeating the same rhyme for more than ten sentences, the rhyme finally went wrong:

"Don't... um, no, I love you."

"Wrong, wrong!"

"You can't cheat!"

For a moment, the students cheered.

Tong Yao felt relieved:

"Truthfully."

Do these kids dare to ask her any excessive questions?

Xu Yin perked up and asked the question she had prepared long ago:

"Is Teacher Tong's first kiss still there?"

The party fell silent instantly.

“Yes.” Tong Yao rubbed his temple, “I didn’t… Never mind, I won’t say anymore.”

"nothing much?"

"I won't tell you."

This sentence whetted the students' appetite, especially Xu Yin's, and the nursery rhyme had a sense of pleasure of successful revenge.

After the dinner, the students went home, and Tong Yao returned to the dormitory. On the way to school, she suddenly stopped. Under the dim street lights, at the door of the dormitory, a familiar figure stopped there. Hearing her footsteps, the figure turned back, and Tong Yao almost didn't recognize it.

It was Ruan Qian wearing a dress.

The little girl put her hands behind her back and was so surprised to see her:

"Teacher Tong!"

Tong Yao walked over and tilted her head: "Why are you waiting here? What if I don't go back to the dormitory and go home?"

"Ah?" The little girl said blankly, "I didn't think so much..."

"What's wrong? You want to see me if you have something to do?"

"Ok!"

Ruan Qian said, her hands extended from behind her, holding a book and a gift box, her face flushed:

"For...for Teacher Tong, a Teacher's Day gift."

Tong Yao opened her mouth in surprise.

"Thank you." She took it gently. She didn't know what was in the gift box, but she recognized the book. It was a math summer homework.

She shook her head and smiled, "You still remember? I forgot it myself."

"Well..." Ruan Qian lowered her head, "There are too many summer homework assignments. I can't finish them in a week, so I'm giving them to you today..."

"What about this?" Tong Yao weighed the gift box and smiled softly, "Can you tell me what it is?"

"This is..." the little girl whispered, "a little bee."

"Little Bee? Oh, a megaphone, right?"

"Yeah! I see many teachers have one, but Teacher Tong doesn't, so..."

A very thoughtful gift.

Tong Yao looked at the warm-hearted little cutie in front of her, reached out her hand, and gently tapped her forehead:

"thank you."

Chapter 17: Her heart became more and more hot and confused

As autumn approaches, the sky starts to darken faster.

It was almost eight o'clock and the road was almost invisible without the lights.

Tong Yao held the gift box, pulled the bow on it, and asked the little girl:

"How much is it? Is it expensive?"

"No, no!" Ruan Qian was afraid that she would not accept it. "It cost more than a hundred, but Teacher Tong, your card saved me a lot of money on meals, so, so..."

"Okay, okay, why are you so nervous?" Tong Yao couldn't help laughing. "Thank you, I like it very much and I'm sure it will be useful to me."

The little girl blushed and stammered:

"As long as it's useful..."

Tong Yao joked: "You are dressed very beautifully today. Are you going out to play with others?"

"No!" Ruan Qian explained quickly, her voice getting louder all of a sudden, "I've been studying in the classroom..."

"Pfft, I don't mean anything else," Tong Yao laughed, "Don't stay in school all the time, combine work and rest, and go out shopping with friends occasionally."

"……Oh."

The little girl responded with grievance and stopped talking.

Tong Yao looked at the time and realized that standing downstairs was not a good idea, so she turned to the corridor with the gift in her hand:

"Would you like to come up and sit?"

She tilted her head, raised her arm and pointed at the door, with the corners of her lips slightly raised, which made Ruan Qian blush and her heart beat faster.

"Hmm, hmm..." The little girl quickly lowered her head.

"Come up."

On a quiet night, shoes could be heard clattering in the corridor.

It turned out... it was the sound of my own heartbeat.

The door was opened, Ruan Qian swallowed her saliva, and watched Tong Yao squat down and get her a pair of slippers. The discomfort of being served urged her to speed up the process of taking off her shoes and stepped into the living room, but there was no little fox to greet them.

"Teacher Tong, isn't Tamamo here?"

Ruan Qian looked around and asked.

"Tamamo," Tong Yao poured two glasses of water and placed one in front of the little girl, "I didn't have time to feed it because my brother took it home."

After that, she took out the remote control, turned on the TV, and threw it on the sofa: "I paid for the TV, you can find what you want to watch."

Ruan Qian nodded, then picked up the remote control very clumsily.

I haven’t touched the TV since I entered high school. Today’s TVs have many more functions than before, and it would be troublesome if you accidentally press other buttons.

She switched the programs one by one, her mind not on the TV at all. Is Teacher Tong in the kitchen? She seemed to have taken something out of the refrigerator? The programs on TV did not attract her at all, until Tong Yao came out with a plate filled with orange slices.

"Would you like some orange?" Tong Yao handed her a piece without hesitation. "It's very sweet."

Ruan Qian trembled. She felt that when Teacher Tong held a piece of orange, it was like holding a flower petal. Every move he made was...

Attract bees and butterflies.

But I took the bait and was willing to be hooked tightly.

"Did you pick a movie to watch?" Tong Yao sat down, a little surprised.

Only then did Ruan Qian notice that there was a movie channel on TV. A movie was playing, and it happened to be at the beginning of various introductions.

"Hey, "Life is Beautiful"." Tong Yao looked at it for a while and exclaimed softly.

Teacher Tong... is so close.

Ruan Qian's face felt like it was burning.

Why is Teacher Tong sitting next to her?

The sofa was so soft that she felt like she would fall on Teacher Tong if she wasn't careful. Teacher Tong's body... She had felt it before. She had bumped into Teacher Tong that day, and the memory was lingering in her mind. Even she herself didn't know why she became like this.

She didn't dare look to the side and could only stare at the pictures on TV, but she was gradually attracted by the plot.

This is a story that happens in the cruelest place, but also the warmest one.

Ruan Qian was so engrossed in watching the movie that she even forgot to eat the orange. It was not until she heard that line in the movie that her heart trembled:

"I feel that rather than dying early, I am more grateful to God for letting me be born into this world, to be able to meet you like this, and to be loved by you like this."

Her heart seemed to be plucked by a string, and she couldn't help but look around, only to find that Teacher Tong was leaning on the sofa and had fallen asleep at some point.

Teacher Tong...are you very tired?

For the first time, she could look at Teacher Tong so carefully and attentively. She felt that all the beautiful words could be applied to Teacher Tong, just like the Sleeping Beauty in the fairy tale. The moist cherry red lips, the delicate clavicle, and the graceful curves that rose and fell with her breathing, the condensed and subtle fragrance, made people confused and lost their minds.

The little girl's heart was beating fast and she quickly looked away. It was all because Teacher Tong was too beautiful, and even I, a lesbian, was fascinated by her. The story in the movie has come to an end. The Soviet Red Army entered the city and the little boy saw real tanks. The whole story was healing and tear-jerking.

"Um...it's over?"

Tong Yao slowly woke up. She had been in a state of half-sleep and half-wakefulness. The movie was a good one, but she had seen it in her previous life. There was still half of the orange left on the table. She felt sorry for it, so she picked up a piece and ate it.

The little girl realized that the orange should not be wasted, so she started eating it too.

This is the first time I have been alone with Teacher Tong for so long.

She cherished every minute of it.

Time, can it go slower?

"It's already past ten o'clock, you should go back." Tong Yao stretched her body and looked at the time. "Oh, finish eating the orange first."

The little girl paused, and her eating of the orange suddenly slowed down, like a hesitant old lady.

"Are you on good terms with your roommates in the dormitory?"

Tong Yao asked casually.

Ruan Qian hesitated for a moment and whispered: "... Yeah."

When the electrician came to fix the light bulb, the chair he stepped on was usually hers. Even though it didn't take that long, she was always the one being rushed in the bathroom. No one was targeting her, she just... had no status at all.

How do you get status? Grades, or social connections.

She has neither of these, but she is trying hard to learn, just to struggle out of the quagmire.

"You have a bad relationship with your roommate?" Tong Yao saw that the little girl was not confident and couldn't help poking her forehead again, "Don't suppress yourself. You can tell the teacher if you have anything."

"No, no..." Ruan Qian suddenly panicked and lied, "Everyone gets along well, it's just that someone snores... I tend to suffer from insomnia..."

She lied.

I actually lied to Teacher Tong.

If she were to name a few people she absolutely didn't want to lie to, Tong Yao would definitely be one of them. But... she just didn't want Teacher Tong to worry about her too much.
