Xia Xue went to school early the next morning to teach. The snow melts, the soil is soft, and the clouds are light and the wind is light.

The weather is clearly starting to get warmer. Xia Xue put her hands in her woolen jacket and took a comfortable and high-spirited step, breathing deeply in the fresh air in the canyon.

Along the way, Xia Xue was thinking about Jacques. He is approachable, simple and kind, and his eyes are as clear as a child. But in him, there is an aura of mystery and speculation.

Although Xia Xue couldn't say why, her intuition told her that Jacques was definitely not an ordinary person.

Jacques teaches at the school on weekdays, which is said to be a very easy job and does not require a busy day. But Jacques, except for teaching time, he is rarely seen at other times. He seems to be busy with chores, not ordinary busy, but he is deeply hidden.

Many times, when Xia Xue was about to get off work, she saw Jacques riding his motorcycle, handsomely speeding to school from a distance.

Every time Xia Xue met Jacques who had just returned, he didn't explain where he came back from, but just smiled warmly.

Xia Xue looked at Jacques with curiosity in her eyes. The sweat-soaked hair on his forehead, his heroic face showed obvious exhaustion, and his clothes fluttered messily in the wind. His face was swollen red, and his breathing was rapid. No matter how you look at him, it looks like he has just completed an overload of heavy physical labor.

Xia Xue is reluctant to interrogate other people's privacy, if people want to tell her, they will take the initiative to say it without asking. So, Xia Xue never asked, and Jacques never said.

Xia Xue also thought about whether to ask the headmistress about Jacques's daily life. Later, Xia Xue still gave up this impulse, thinking that caring too much about a person's private life seemed to have some impure motives.

This morning, Xia Xue returned to the office after giving class to the students.

Sitting inside sat two young female teachers, gossiping about Jacques. One of them said that Jacques had someone in his heart, and the other said that Jacques might be different.

Why? A woman asked her companion with a look of disappointment.

The woman who was asked frowned and said regretfully. I asked Jacques many times, but he politely declined. I had boldly hinted at him, but he would not respond to me in a positive light except for a good-natured laugh.

Every time I took a shower that night, I would look in the mirror by myself. I was really beautiful and my body was sultry enough to find out where I was wrong. Later, when I came home from work one day, I saw Jacques and some GIs standing on the side of the road, talking and laughing. The woman, instead of going on, raised her eyebrows in a tricky way.

Based on this alone, do you think there is something wrong with Jacques's tendency? That's too extreme. The woman who asked the question got up and walked away without any taste.

The two women, who had been talking passionately before, fell silent in an instant, and the room suddenly became surprisingly quiet.

Xia Xue greeted the two colleagues and walked out for a reason. She was afraid that she would affect the confidential conversation between her two colleagues.

Xia Xue walked leisurely on the simple and cramped campus, with her hands behind her back. As she passed by Jacques's office, she noticed that his door was closed, and when she looked through the window, there was no one inside. It seems that Jacques is out of school again.

Of the school's teachers, only Jacques has his own office. When the headmaster encounters something, he always asks Jacques for advice. Jacques's position in the school is very important, and anyone with a discerning eye will see it.

Xia Xue frowned and pondered, what is his background? Definitely not an ordinary retired soldier.

Xia Xue suddenly recalled that the words Jacques had said to her at home last night were simply too ambiguous and hot! Xia Xue's cheeks were boiling hot, as if a warm flame was burning.

At lunchtime, the headmistress returned from running errands outside. She took the bento, went to find Xia Xue, and ate together.

As soon as she sat down, she said with a puzzled look on her face. It was strange that when I came back just now, I saw several strange men in the distance outside the canyon, and they were walking along the canyon as if looking for the entrance to the labyrinth. They didn't notice me, and I didn't see what they looked like.

Xia Xue suddenly remembered that yesterday at the steakhouse, Jacques fought with a few people in the bathroom. Could it be that because of this, Jacques formed a grudge against someone? No, on the way home with Xia Xue yesterday, Jacques did not find the following vehicle. Xia Xue frowned, puzzled.

The headmistress saw Xia Xue's solemn expression and asked. Xia Xue, do you know what those strangers are here for?

When Xia Xue heard this, she hurriedly shook her head and said with a smile, No, I don't know the motives of those people.

So what were you thinking about? It's like thinking about things at first glance. The headmistress asked frankly.

Oh, I was thinking that our school's playground and school building would be better if it could be more spacious. Xia Xue said.

This is also the truth, Xia Xue has felt sorry for the frugality and poverty of this school since the first day she came here. She secretly made up her mind that once she had the ability, she would renovate the school building and expand the campus construction.

The headmistress smiled helplessly. The children, day by day, grow up, this campus is so small, every time there is a physical education class, Jacques will take the children to run in the canyon. However, we don't have that much money, so we can only maintain the status quo for the time being.

Xia Xue stretched out her arm to the headmistress, held her hand tightly, looked into her eyes and said. Headmaster, you've had enough to do, and you don't need to bother with anything like this. I had already planned that once I had enough capital, I would rebuild and expand our school. I have already regarded this place as my home, and it is you who have taken me in and given me so much love and warmth!

Xia Xue, you are so kind, thank you! The headmistress was moved and tears welled up in her eyes.

Principal, please believe me, I have what it takes! I've wanted to open a dumpling restaurant here for a long time, but because I'm pregnant, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it. Another reason is that I never found a suitable storefront. Sooner or later, though, I'm going to make money, and I'm not going to let our school go on like this forever!

The headmistress nodded heavily at Xia Xue, Xia Xue looked at the principal excitedly, and the two kind women looked at each other and smiled.

After work, Xia Xue went to the pizza shop alone. She doesn't want to cook tonight, she wants to eat ready-made, and she misses the pizza a little bit.

Xia Xue walked into the store and chose a window seat. The enthusiastic waiter quickly came over and kindly ordered food for Xia Xue.

Xia Xue finished ordering, looked up at the window, and unexpectedly saw Jacques's figure. Did he just come back from outside? His hair was a little messy, his cheeks were flushed, and he was laughing loudly with the acquaintances he met, patting each other on the shoulder.

Jacques finished greeting his acquaintances and looked at the window of the shop with a calm face. It's really unfortunate that Jacques's gaze happened to meet Xia Xue's gaze that was exploring him.

Jacques's face instantly showed a bright smile, and he waved his long arms happily towards Xia Xue.

Xia Xue gently waved her hand at Jacques through the window, and her heart immediately became clear.

Jacques walked in and sat across from Xia Xue. He beckoned to the waitress, who walked up to Jacques with a gleam in her eyes.

Give me a copy of the same one as hers! Jacques said, pointing at Xia Xue with his finger and said.

The waitress smiled in surprise. But, Jacques, you don't know what this lady ordered.

Jacques smiled and said. As long as she likes to eat, I will try to like it. Doesn't this seem strange?

No, no, dear Jacques, not surprising at all! If I have to say something strange, then I'm genuinely glad you're strange. You, you should have been so strange a long time ago, you finally met a woman who can make you so strange and cute! The waitress was so happy that her eyebrows fluttered, and she even spoke a little overly excited.

Thank you! Jacques gave the waitress a gentle hug.

Jacques and Xia Xue were eating when they heard the pizza shopkeeper laughing. They heard the rumors and saw the boss in the corner of the last row, having a good conversation with a man his age.

The beer glass in front of the two was so big that Xia Xue was dumbfounded. But the two men seemed to be unaware of alcohol, and gulped down fresh beer, and did not look drunk in the slightest.

Jacques and Xia Xue had just finished their meal when the owner of the pizzeria and his friend passed by them. They greet each other, and the boss introduces the friends to each other. So, Jacques Xia Xue and the boss's friend hugged and exchanged greetings.

The boss pointed to his friend. He was a good partner who grew up with me and worked as a supporter on the TV station's treasure appreciation program. He was passing by here today to see me.

Treasure column? Xia Xue said curiously.

The host said affectionately to Xia Xue. Yes, if you have any treasures, you can use them for identification! Maybe what seems ordinary to you is a priceless treasure!

Xia Xue looked at the host's calm and serious demeanor, thought about it, and said. I really have a treasure here, I met it yesterday. It doesn't seem to be anything special, but I don't know why, but I always find it magical.

Is it? The moderator showed great interest. Then get the stuff out and let me see it!

Xia Xue hesitated for a moment, glanced at Jacques who was staring at her, and slowly took off the glass necklace from her neck and handed it to the host.

The host solemnly took the necklace and observed it carefully. Then, he took a picture of the necklace and wrote a receipt for Xia Xue, saying. Your necklace is so beautiful, but what kind of value it has has to be known through expert appraisal!

Xia Xue said happily, thank you for not laughing at me, I was worried just now, you will laugh at me! Xia Xue smiled embarrassedly.

About a week or so later, the owner of the pizza shop came to school early one morning and found Xia Xue out of breath.

Excuse me, what's the matter? Xia Xue asked the boss with a smile.

The boss was full of red light, and laughed for a long time before he said to Xia Xue. Xia Xue, you are a multi-millionaire now. My friend just called me and said that your necklace is actually a priceless masonry necklace that has been appraised by several experts!

Xia Xue couldn't help but exclaim, oh my God, I can't believe I can be so lucky!

At this time, the headmistress and Jacques also heard the movement and came over together.

The boss kept laughing and gasping for breath. Xia Xue, now there is a collector who is willing to pay 28 million dollars, hoping that you can sell him the necklace, are you willing?

Xia Xue just stared for a few seconds before cheering. I am willing, I am willing, why refuse more than 20 million dollars? Our school can be expanded with money, and children can have brighter and more spacious classrooms!
