Chapter 9 Talking about the Medium
"My dear, help me inquire about something, and help me ask Xiaofan about the real situation at school. Her family background is special, and the reliability of the information she inquired about publicly is limited, so it sounds difficult to call the thirteen schools in private, you know! I sat lazily on the back of the sofa chair and sat in Ms. Sun's sunny room, casually talking to her, playing with her precious pen holder in my hand.
"Xiaolou, don't play, tell me if you went to the temple to worship? Look at me and be serious! Teacher Sun snatched the pen holder in my hand and placed it on the table like a treasure, lest others not know that it was a token of love from her beloved man.
"Look at your stinginess, I'm serious! Help me inquire, I'm in a hurry! The temple thing, I worshipped. However, it's useless to worship, some people say that I was born to lose my star, and you shouldn't get too close to me in the future, so as not to get into trouble! Seemingly casually answered, although I knew that Mr. Sun was kind to remind, but I had long lost confidence in those so-called prayers to God and Buddha, and the death of my sister, brother-in-law, and Wen Hui made me full of nameless anger about the so-called cause and effect.
"You, just say goodbye, you'll be lucky! What kind of mourning star, can you believe the words of those eight women? Don't talk nonsense, two days ago, Vice President Wang and Professor Liu still inquired about your news, what are your plans in the future? You can't be a widow for the rest of your life at such a young age, how about it, do you think about them? Teacher Sun said half-jokingly and half-seriously.
"My dear, don't be funny, Wen Hui has only been dead for a few days, is it still a human being to think about falling in love now? Are you testing my humanity? Or has it become unreliable? I was a little surprised.
"Alas, I know that you have a good relationship, but is there a difference between waiting for a year to find a partner and waiting for ten years to find a partner? Today's men, if something happens to their wives, they all get married within 100 days, don't you see the male professors in our school? You've been here for a while, we women can't be so stupid, now we are young and beautiful, and we have a lot of opportunities to choose, and in a few years, good men should be picked. Besides, Wen Hui also wants you to be happy, doesn't he? Living like this alone, let alone Wenhui, even my good friend is not at ease, really! Teacher Sun looked at my eyes and persuaded me very seriously, she does have some truth, especially the last few sentences, but people, especially women, still have feelings, so I can't do such a ruthless and cold thing, and I don't like to do it.
"There is nothing wrong with your words in themselves, everyone has their own choice when it comes to feelings, and my choice is not to accept others yet. Thank you for your kindness, I'm fine now, there are colleagues in the community who are close to the unit, and I don't need other men to take care of them! "Euphemistically rejected Mr. Sun's kindness, love is a luxury for me, I didn't think about it and didn't want it, in short, I didn't let go of Wenhui at all.
"Well, to tell you the truth, do you have a relationship with Nalin? Look at him all the time to take good care of you, other teachers have gossip! Teacher Sun got up and closed the door, turned his head and asked me in a whisper.
"Honey, what nonsense are you talking about? Those eight women love to chew their tongues the most, and they dare to believe their words? Lin Suo's family has a fiancée, or a superstar is super beautiful, I have self-knowledge of three nos, and he definitely doesn't look down on himself, so don't follow the foolishness. Lin Suo is my leader, direct leader, how can there be that kind of relationship between men and women? He is very good to the people under him, he does things fairly, and he has a clear distinction between public and private, don't talk nonsense! ”
Someone would actually gossip about me and Lin Suo, what the hell is this? Let's not say that each other is a simple working relationship, just a man of Lin Suo's type is definitely a "male god"-level existence, how can a mortal like me be tainted? It's good not to disappoint and despise him, and you can still have feelings? This kind of gossip can only be imagined by those gossip women who have watched too many romance dramas, how bold people are, how cheap their mouths are.
"Xiaolou, seriously, what about Dean Wang and Professor Liu? Both of them are young talents with young aspirations, their looks are no worse than your Wenhui, the conditions are also good, and there are no scandals, which one do you think is more hopeful with you? I'll be nice to that guy from now on! Teacher Sun pursed his lips and said with a wicked smile.
"Dear, can you still have a good chat? Such a bastard is not like your style, those two men are impossible, I don't want to fall in love, even if I want to talk about it one day in the future, I won't consider them, let them die! I said with a smile without hesitation.
"Why?" Teacher Sun seemed surprised by my answer, and she asked with wide eyes
"Because I don't want to fall in love yet!" I don't want to answer the reason, continue to talk nonsense.
"Xiaolou, tell the truth! Please, please! "Teacher Sun persevered.
"That Professor Liu is particularly utilitarian, when he was still a postdoctoral student at Wu University, everything he did was carefully calculated, and every friend he made was a thousand choices, only looking for the kind that was useful to him, such a snobbish man, a powerless woman like me couldn't afford it! Not to mention Vice President Wang, he lacks self-cultivation and is not polite, and he does not respect women at all. In the past, when I was a temporary worker, he looked down on himself completely, he called and drank when there was something, and he didn't even want to be perfunctory when he had nothing to do, as if he would stick to him when he got closer, and he didn't have any grace at all, not at all like a person who had studied in England, but it was a pity that he had a good English pronunciation. In short, these two men deserve to find a partner, I only hate them, don't mention it again! Seeing that she insisted on wanting to know the reason, she didn't hide anything and said it.
"Such a bad review? Professor Liu is a bit more ambitious, but he has no background, he can only rely on himself in everything, if he doesn't calculate carefully, how can he get ahead so quickly? It is not easy for him to live. Vice President Wang is really rude, maybe it's because of the northerners, everything is not delicate and informal, but the character is really not bad, Xiaolou you... "Teacher Sun still wants to continue to say some good things for them, although I know that she is also kind, but I am already a little unhappy in my heart.
"Stop, stop, stop, honey! What's the matter with you, why do you have to sell them to me? There are too many people who don't have a background to rely on themselves, are they all as snobbish and calculating as Professor Liu? Not to mention northerners, unrefined, informal, and disrespectful women are different concepts, and I can still distinguish between straightforwardness and utilitarianism, uprightness and unreasonableness, poor quality and true temperament. I paused, thought for a moment, and continued.
