Soon, a new semester began.

Because he turned positive, Hai Mo also began to stop following Guo Shi everywhere to listen to classes. She was assigned to the eighth grade by the school as a physics teacher for three classes, while Guo Shi was placed in the ninth grade and was in charge of two graduating classes.

In this way, Hai Mo and Guo Shi went from being a master and apprentice who had to work together every day to being colleagues working in two offices in a school. Normally, if there is nothing special, the two of them may be so busy that they won't see each other for a few days, but Hai Mo still follows the pattern of getting along with the two during the holidays, picking him up and going to work every day, and if he doesn't want to eat in the cafeteria at noon, she will order some of what he wants to eat in advance and send it to school.

Both of them seem to be accustomed to this mode of getting along, but after all, this time is different from the past, and both of them have significantly more workload, especially Hai Mo, who is even more busy every day and is overwhelmed by various things, so after persevering for a long time, Hai Mo feels physically and mentally exhausted. She barely held on, and she didn't dare to talk to anyone about it, because she was afraid that if she said that the pressure was too great, she would not be able to hold on and would resign without being persuaded by others.

It's not that this work is so hard-won that she cherishes it so much, but she feels that her master has spent so long cultivating her, and now that she can finally teach, if she gives up by herself, she will be sorry for her master's careful cultivation.

It's just that people's energy is limited, and after Hai Mo got busy, she really couldn't take care of many things she had done for Guo Shi at work. Guo Shi could naturally feel such a change, so after the midterm exam results came out, he took Hai Mo out to celebrate on the grounds that their class had won the first place again.

Before this, Hai Mo had already been called by the principal to talk once, saying that she wanted her to keep a distance from Guo Shi and not let her colleagues gossip. Although Hai Mo went to Guo Shi's office every time to find him, it was a serious matter, and the teachers in his office could prove it, but the principal could know about it, which means that someone still said something unpleasant in private. Rumors are always more credible than the truth, so Hai Mo didn't explain it to the principal, but since then, she has never been to Guo Shi's office again.

It's just that Hai Mo felt very aggrieved.

How not to be aggrieved? I don't dare to tell others when the work is so big, and the person I like is like a stone and has never paid attention to her efforts, and now I want to go to him for help and be restricted. Hai Mo has never felt so pitiful like she does now, so pitiful that she wants to laugh at herself.

So she also indulged herself and agreed to celebrate with Guo Shi.

Anyway, this was the first time he had invited her to dinner so formally, and it was reasonable that she, a little apprentice, could not refuse the master's invitation.

Guo Shi set the place of eating at a very famous hot pot restaurant far away from the school, and the two of them ate very happily, and before they knew it, they had the bottom of two beers. By the time Guo Shi settled the bill, Hai Mo was already frivolous, and he couldn't distinguish between southeast and northwest.

In fact, Hai Mo drank a lot of alcohol, but this time Xu was too depressed in her heart, but a few bottles of beer made her drunk and couldn't control herself. She said that she didn't want to take a taxi home, broke free from Guo Shi's support, lowered her head, and walked silently in the direction of home.

Guo Shi naturally wouldn't leave her alone on the road, and he couldn't resist her, so he had to follow her. She was really tired of walking, so she turned her head with the strength of wine, and for the first time wantedly and boldly wanted a hug. Guo Shi dodged left and right, but he didn't let her succeed, but just as she turned around, Guo Shi unexpectedly took her hand and continued to walk in the direction of her house with her.

"I can't give you a hug, but I'm willing to hold your hand all the time and go down with you. ”

Hai Mo felt that Guo Shi's words were the most beautiful love words she had ever heard in her life. She endured tears for a long time, and just like that, in his back, she fell all the way.

After that day, the relationship between the two seemed to have taken a step forward, and it seemed that it was still in place, and it had not changed at all. The only thing that has changed for sure is that she hired a regular driver to pick up and drop off the two of them for the convenience of commuting.

The driver Yuan Zhe is the same age as her, and he is not as serious as him, which is very compatible with her character. In addition, Hai Mo is usually too busy to communicate with others, so Yuan Zhe has become a good person to talk to. It didn't take long for Yuan Zhe to learn about her and Guo Shi's daily life from her mouth, and became the indirect party who knew the story the most besides the two of them.

During this period, the relationship between Hai Mo and Guo Shi was still ambiguous.

Guo Shi never seemed to have any intention of treating Hai Mo as his girlfriend, and every time Hai Mo mentioned this matter, he would only tell her that he was a divorced man who was extremely critical of his partner and marriage. So Hai Mo held the guidelines he left her, little by little, trying to change herself.

As the saying goes, women chase men, and the veil is interlayered. But Haimo felt that it was more difficult for him to chase Guo Shi down than to ascend to the sky. She would sometimes complain about Guo Shi, complaining about why he held her hand that day, disturbed her heart, aroused her greed, and made her want more. But after calming down, she also understands that there is no such great effort in this world, and she can always ask for nothing in return. She also thought about letting go, and she also thought about blocking him and never contacting him again, but she insisted on it for so long and asked her to give up suddenly, she was really unwilling.

She often recalls the scene of him leaning on her shoulder tiredly when she came home, and remembers him saying that when she is there, his fatigue will be relieved and he will feel at ease. Every time she thinks of this, her grievances, her exhaustion, and her unwillingness will all be left behind by her, and she will willingly continue to pay for him, waiting for his sincerity.

As long as she is willing to wait, she will always wait for everything she wants, and she always comforts herself like this.

She didn't believe he had no feelings for her at all.

But no one is like her, willing to be a complete fool for love. All the things she selectively ignored were all seen by Yuan Zhe.

Yuan Zhe is a smart person, and he has seen the problem between the two a long time ago. He didn't want to care, but Haimo has always regarded him as a friend, if he doesn't say a word, he feels really sorry for his conscience. So he always reminded Hai Mo sideways, hoping that she could see the reality clearly. When he said these words, sometimes Hai Mo would echo him and say something unreliable to him - his determination to leave, and sometimes Hai Mo would whisper to defend Guo Shi, saying that it was just because she was not good enough.

Yuan Zhe wanted to tell Hai Mo that there was no need for standards at all to love someone, but before he could tell Hai Mo this truth, he witnessed something with his own eyes that he didn't want Hai Mo to know anyway.
