185 Yan Ai
It was already one o'clock in the afternoon, and Anna was still sitting in her leather chair grading her homework, and this pile of notebooks made the woman sleepy, and her yawning would not be absent, one after another. The pen in her hand looked a little uncontrollable, and the red ink began to disobey her. Quite helpless, the woman put down her pen and took a sip of the water glass next to the table.
On an autumn day, the sun did not skimp on the floor of the office, and the office was unusually quiet at this time, with so many computers lying in the air, and only Anna was working overtime. The woman glanced at her phone a little tiredly, it was ten o'clock, why didn't she see Cheng Miao, it stands to reason that he should have finished memorizing it, thinking about Anna so much in her heart she couldn't help but feel a little more resentful, and I don't know what happened to this child today. was originally very hardworking, but now that he has learned to be lazy, he naturally won't spare him easily.
Anna was thinking about this when she heard someone knock lightly twice on the office door, "Come in." The woman said as she put down the glass of water in her hand. I saw Cheng Miao walking towards him slowly, the boy was holding the English textbook tightly in his hand, and his expression was a little dignified. The corners of his mouth were slightly cracked, and his eyes were slightly tired, but more of a tightness.
"You're done reciting?" She looked at Cheng Miao's eyes as stern as ever, and she didn't feel that she had to forgive him anything. The boy walked over to the woman's desk and nodded silently, then held the book in both hands and brought it to Anna, who was half-bent at the waist and looked very respectful. The head teacher, An, took the book in Cheng Miao's hand, didn't look at him, just pouted inadvertently, the woman's right hand was propped up on her temple, and she looked a little tired.
"Let's get started." Anna's extra words did not seem concise and clear, she pricked up her ears and was ready to listen, even if Cheng Miao was very skilled in the classroom, but now he couldn't help but be a little nervous in the face of the head teacher An, the young man's heartbeat began to beat again, Brother Miao breathed a long sigh of relief, and couldn't help but settle down.
"Hmm." The boy pursed his lips, and fluent English words popped out of his mouth, "It is 5:45 am a."

He memorized it without thinking, and this proficiency pleased the fastidious Anna.
But even so, Cheng Miao still looked very nervous, and the young man's palms kept dripping cold sweat downward. This morning's snooze had cost him all face, and he couldn't let Anna down again, at least, not to be so embarrassed by her counting," Watchi

st activity of the day..."The boy vomited without a pause, but his brain had long since stopped turning, and only instinctively read it, which made Anna, who was sitting in the leather chair, nod frequently.
Listening to a teenager's endorsement does not make a woman feel irritated, more precisely, it is a pleasure. Now that I think about it, I was too cruel to Cheng Miao, and compared to his peers, he was already very good. But Anna denied her own idea, Cheng Miao was her most proud protégé, so she was naturally more strict when she made mistakes. Otherwise, it will only make the boy stagnate, thinking like this, even if Cheng Miao memorizes fluently, she still has a stiff face.

"What?" The woman frowned and ruffled her hair, "Are you carrying it right?" She asked sternly. Cheng Miao raised his eyebrows, and the young man's cheeks were very burning, "Well, that." His tone trembled a little, and he was nervous for a moment. But Anna didn't pay attention to the boy's tightness, and the woman's arm propped up her cheek, "Didn't you notice that you missed a sentence?" Anna's voice rose an octave and began to be a little impatient.

After a long time, seeing that the young man still didn't move, the head teacher An finally didn't say anything, but sighed helplessly, "What do you remember in this paragraph?" Anna frowned again, "Forget it, forget it, you can continue to memorize it, and copy this paragraph to me when you get back to work." Although her words seemed ruthless, they did not overflow with love for Cheng Miao. Looking at the boy again, he was stunned there, not thinking that the text that he had memorized with all his hard work would be so easily denied by the head teacher An.
He stood there and licked his lips, looking unusually embarrassed, as if he had lost interest in reciting. "Keep carrying it, what are you doing standing there stupidly?" Anna was very dissatisfied with the young man's state, even if Cheng Miao had performed well enough, but it was obviously not up to the requirements of a woman.
"Hmm." Cheng Miao paused for a second, then continued, "Ja

Perhaps because of the defeat of Anna, the boy became more relieved, and his face gradually softened, since Anna was going to deliberately embarrass him, then Cheng Xinmiao had nothing to say, so he continued to carry it down. The further he went, the more brilliant the boy's state became, and the head teacher Ann sitting on the leather chair became more and more kind, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile.

.” Cheng Miao finished reciting in one breath, he slowed down, and then his eyes looked at the woman in front of him, Anna's face was different from the seriousness just now, but added a little tenderness.
"Well, that's good." She nodded, looking very satisfied, and the woman handed the English textbook in her hand to Cheng Miao again, "I memorized it well today." The head teacher, Ann, pursed his lips, "However, pay attention, you just revealed a word." Seeing that you are so proficient, you don't need to copy it today. She feigned seriousness as she spoke, but in fact, there was no way for Anna to be too kind to the boy. After all, these two months are too important for Cheng Miao, and it can even be said that it is related to the fate of his life.
"Thank you, teacher." The boy's head was still bowed, and Anna seemed to have forgiven him, but Cheng Miao herself remembered the mistake of the morning, "I'm sorry I disappointed you." The young man's voice was very low but full of sincerity, and Anna naturally saw his guilt, "Now you have a long memory?" Although it was a question, the woman's tone seemed very gentle.
Cheng Miao didn't speak, just nodded silently, "I really didn't mean to be lazy, please forgive me." His tone was so respectful that Anna couldn't bear to reproach him anymore, "Okay, you think I'm trying to punish you?" She looked at him very tenderly, "You've done well enough, but have you thought about it, why should I punish you?" The head teacher, An, looked at the boy with a serious face, but this question was too difficult for him to answer.
"I'm punishing you just to make you better." Anna's eyes became deep, "You have to come on, you are a good seedling of Qingbei." When the woman said this, she actually felt a relief from the bottom of her heart, "So, it's nothing to be cruel to yourself." Anna cleared her throat, "Tomorrow, get up early on time and memorize the text for the next unit." Her instructions were light, but she couldn't appreciate how difficult it was for Cheng Miao.
The young man standing in front of him opened his mouth, but said nothing after all. "What's wrong?" It's not that Anna didn't see Cheng Miao's embarrassment, "Didn't learn? It's okay if you don't learn, this is the time to test your self-learning ability. The woman said with a nonchalant look, "Again, I ask for fluency, and there are no mistakes and omissions." At this time, there was a feeling of certainty, "Cheng Xinmiao, if you missed a word today, I won't bother with you." However, there must be no mistake tomorrow, I ask for a good melon, understand? Anna's expression turned serious. The boy nodded, looking submissive.
"Let's go." The woman had a relieved posture, saw the bread on the counter and suddenly thought of something, "Oh, by the way, Cheng Miao, don't go yet." The boy was startled and turned around hurriedly, thinking that he had done something wrong again. But I saw the head teacher An beckoning to him, "I didn't eat at noon, I'm hungry, right?" Her tone was full of pity, and she handed him a piece of chocolate bread. But Cheng Miao couldn't react for a while, and didn't dare to accept Anna's kindness.
"No, no, Mr. An, thank you." The boy said and waved his hand hurriedly.
"Take it, what are you polite to me?" As she spoke, the woman stuffed it into the young man's arms, and did not forget to advise: "I did a little too much today, but this is the rule." However, next time you want to snooze again, you will be hungry, I don't feel sorry for you. Anna's words seemed to be very domineering, but it was difficult to hide her hard work.
