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

From childhood to adulthood, she has had countless suitors, from those who swing on the swings and seesaw to those who play basketball shirtless. There is no reason for her to reminisce and respond to her suitors just because they are students.

"What kind of person do you plan to find in the future?" Tong Yao asked.

"I don't know," Lu Bingjie sighed, "There are a lot of internal digestion among teachers, but I don't want to find a male teacher."

Ruan Qian's heart tightened. Could it be that Teacher Tong would marry a male teacher in the future?

She simply could not accept that such a gentle and perfect person like Teacher Tong would end up belonging to a mediocre man who was mean to his students.

I have to marry the best person, right? Otherwise, I will feel unhappy.

"Are you looking for a female teacher?" Tong Yao made a rare joke.

"You said it! If you want to find me, find you!" Lu Bingjie made a face.

Ruan Qian secretly glanced at Teacher Lu and thought, Teacher Lu is also very beautiful. Instead of finding a boyfriend, she would rather Teacher Tong and Teacher Lu be together. It is also barely acceptable. At least she doesn't feel so wronged and wasted on Teacher Tong.

Teacher Tong is the pure place in her heart that is not tainted by dust.

She was a little absent-minded, and the people around her suddenly looked at her:

"Ruanruan, are you not in good spirits? I see that the dark circles under your eyes are heavier than usual."

Tong Yao noticed the little girl's condition. She looked like she was about to become an immortal, and she looked weaker than before.

"……No."

Ruan Qian opened her eyes wide and straightened her back to express that she was in good condition. "I'm done eating. I'm going to morning reading first. Goodbye, teacher!"

She waved to the two teachers and left the table with her schoolbag.

"So cute." Lu Bingjie said with emotion, "Girls like this are very popular with boys, right?"

"probably."

The reason why I prefer Ruan Qian is also because my male soul thinks the little girl is cute.

But this love is from an elder to a younger person, from a teacher to a student, from a sister to a younger sister, without any dirty impurities, only the blessing of wishing her well. She may end up alone in the future, unable to give the child complete parental love, and she does not plan to adopt a child. If she lives like this for the rest of her life, maybe... there will be some regrets.

But she has chosen the life she wants.

"Ruan Xi."

"Ruan Qian!"

Jiang Yiming slammed the table and shouted in a low voice:

"You're sleeping in during morning reading?! The labor camp is at the door!"

Ruan Qian woke up suddenly.

I was thinking of lying down for a while...but I ended up falling asleep.

Li Hanqiang stood at the door, fortunately he did not notice himself being blocked by the pile of books.

"Did you stay up late?" Jiang Yiming asked.

"Yeah." Ruan Qian answered vaguely, her chin resting on the table, her eyes fixed on the words, and she repeated them without any emotion.

"You're working so hard." The boy was amazed. "The monthly exam is still half a month away."

Ruan Qian continued to recite the lyrics.

Li Hanqiang walked in the aisle and came to Ruan Qian's side. He frowned and said, "Why are you lying down to recite? Where is your energy? You are so lazy in the morning. You should sit down to recite!"

The little girl who was named trembled and sat up straight.

...I’m so sleepy!

"I have some coffee, do you want some?" As Li Hanqiang left, Xu Hao in front of him turned around.

"Thank you."

The little girl took the bag of coffee, rubbed her eyes, and saw that the first class after morning reading was math.

Math class...

Then you must cheer up.

Suddenly, she had an idea. Although it was morning reading time, she couldn't help but take out her sketchbook and started drawing secretly.

I'm not sleepy anymore when I'm painting.

Just like some people, they feel sleepy when studying, but are full of energy when playing games. It is also like a composer's sudden inspiration, it would be a great loss if he didn't write it down.

"Oh my god, naked?" my deskmate exclaimed.

The little girl quickly covered her sketchbook and glared at him:

"Who told you to peek?"

Jiang Yiming quickly raised his hands in surrender.

Boys are really...

The little girl bit her lip. She didn’t draw any nudity at all. She just drew the outline of a beautiful anime girl and outlined the shape of her breasts. It was not as realistic as what was in the biology textbook. There was no detail at all. And the boy was shouting and screaming.

After morning reading, she went to make a cup of coffee, but she added too much water, leaving only a faint bitter taste. Before the refreshing effect came, the bell for class rang.

Teacher Tong...is here too.

"Today we will continue to talk about the application of derivatives."

Tong Yao picked up the chalk and asked, "Is there any classmate who can help us recall how many types of questions we taught in the last class?"

Yin Jiali raised her little hand proudly.

Ruan Qian opened her notebook and wanted to raise her hand but didn't dare.

This kind of thing is still difficult for her.

I didn’t dare to raise my hand, and didn’t want Teacher Tong to see my timidity, so I had to pile the books on the table and hide behind it, listening quietly.

Teacher Tong has a really nice voice.

——Just take a nap for a while.

Ruan Qian's feet were stepped on hard twice.

She realized that she had fallen asleep again - but it seemed like she was not asleep. She was still somewhat conscious in her daze and could hear Teacher Tong's voice.

She raised her head and found Teacher Tong on the podium looking at her. Her heart stopped beating, and then she felt guilty.

Teacher Tong...did you see it?

Tong Yao actually didn’t see it.

Or rather, not sure. In her eyes, the little girl lay on the table for a while, and then suddenly stood up, like a kitten whose tail was stepped on.

Judging from the little girl’s panda eyes, she must be very sleepy.

Cold wind blew in from the open window, and the cool autumn air seeped into her clothes. Ruan Qian instantly became much more sober, lowered her head, and her face was hot.

This was the only math class that she felt went too slowly.

When the bell rang, Teacher Tong did not leave through the front door immediately. Instead, he walked down and went straight to her.

"Come on."

Tong Yao pointed outside the corridor.

Chapter 24: Each of us has our strengths and weaknesses

Ruan Qian lost all sleepiness in an instant.

The interaction between Tong Yao and Ruan Qian obviously attracted a lot of people's attention. A group of people came to watch the fun and as Ruan Qian walked out, several boys "passed by" behind them from time to time, back and forth several times.

"Are you sleepy?" Tong Yao leaned on the railing, without any criticism or blame in her words.

"Hmm..." The little girl was induced to speak the truth subconsciously. She was startled and quickly changed her words, "No, I'm not sleepy."

My head is almost out of control.

"Did you stay up late last night?"

Although it is a question, the tone is affirmative.

Ruan Qian lowered her head and admitted it in a low voice.

Nursery Rhyme sighed.

"Learning is a gradual process. You can't get fat in one go. You need to rest well before you have the energy to study the next day. Look how sleepy you are... What types of questions did I teach in class?"

She suddenly asked a question and Ruan Qian's mind went blank. Relying on her memory from the preview, she guessed one right, but she was unable to answer the other types of questions.

"This is the consequence of staying up late." Tong Yao wanted to poke the little girl's forehead, but halfway through, she realized that there were so many people here, and it would be inappropriate to be seen by others. "Do your homework well. If you don't know how to do it, ask me. Ask a classmate with good grades to help you make up your notes. Do you hear me?"

Even when she is a little angry, Teacher Tong's voice is still so heartwarming.

But the more heartwarming it was, the more guilty Ruan Qian felt.

She didn't put all her attention on her studies.

The price she paid for not wanting to give up comics was almost too much for her to bear in just one day.

"Take a good nap at noon, okay?"

Tong Yao gave some instructions and left first.

Ruan Qian stood in the corridor, watching Teacher Tong's back, and sleepiness briefly left her.

Actually...it's not like I can't hold on, right?

She slept for four and a half hours at night, took a nap during class breaks, and went to bed early during lunch break, so she could sleep about six hours a day. She heard that many high school students have already entered this state.

At the back of the classroom, the class results of the last exam were posted. Her name was number 52, eighth from the bottom. To be honest, she didn't like looking at this piece of paper. It was a small page, but it represented sixty people. It seemed that the meaning of her existence was not as important as the number on it.

But she couldn't deny that she cared.

She wanted to rank higher.

Every teacher will look at this piece of paper. They will look at it during evening self-study, and they will glance at it when they walk to the back of the class... Naturally, this includes Teacher Tong. How does Teacher Tong feel every time she sees this report card? Disappointed, helpless? In any case, she is definitely not happy. She also doesn't want her classmates to question her because Teacher Tong favors her, a "poor student."

She will stick with it.

"Ruan Qian has been studying very hard recently."

We returned to the dormitory at 11pm and discussed with each other.

Chen Xi glanced at the lights on the balcony and felt blinded, then pressured.

She no longer had the mood to play.

This Ruan Qian is so annoying.

She cursed in her heart, but still took out the questions and started doing them.

This kind of life and work schedule lasted for several days, and Ruan Qian was surprised to find that it was not as difficult as she had imagined. Whether it was studying or comics, every inch of progress could bring her a great sense of accomplishment and satisfaction. She cherished her sleep time more, and her sleep quality seemed to be better than before.

But it seems that something is missing compared to before.

She spent less and less time alone with Teacher Tong.

The girl took out her work badge, looked at the photo on it, muttered a few words, and put it back in her pocket.

It won’t be too late to go find Teacher Tong after I’ve made some progress, right?

But the loss in my heart can never be filled.

"Teacher Xiaotong, I haven't seen you giving Ruan Qian some special treatment recently?"
