In a sycamore path leading to the central teaching building, there are clusters of fallen leaves, and from time to time withered yellow leaves fall in the wind. The ground was already full of yellow leaves that were beginning to rot, mixed with the dirt, and smelled of rain that had not yet dried.

The early morning sun shines through the branches of the forest, and there is a faint warmth rippling in the air.

The sound of footsteps came from the path with a little urgency, and a white shadow could be seen shuttling between them, but at this moment, the class bell had already sounded.

"It's over, it's late......"

The familiar lamentation came faintly from the mouth of the running white-clothed figure. When you look in, you can find that this figure is actually Tang Yating. She still carried the plastic bag of unfinished breakfast in her hand, fine beads of sweat kept dripping from her forehead, and she was panting slowly and heavily, obviously tired.

However, she still ran desperately, and her destination was the comprehensive teaching building not far ahead.

Tang Yating gritted her teeth and endured the faint pain in her lower abdomen due to excessive running, but under her somewhat flushed complexion, she still looked stubborn. Thinking about what happened after returning home last night, Tang Yating's dark eyes couldn't help but glow with a little bit of crystal.

It turned out that when she got home last night, it was already around half past ten in the evening, nearly ten minutes late from Tang Yating's last promise, how could this not make Ruan Chunling and even Tang Hao annoyed.

However, although Ruan Chunling kept questioning what her daughter had done, because she didn't want her parents to worry, Tang Yating still decided to hide the reason for her late return.

Tang Hao seemed to be aware of this, but he just glanced at Tang Yating with a serious look, and didn't say anything more, but Ruan Chunling was always unyielding, and when she saw that her daughter had been refusing to answer, of course she would think about the bad place in her heart. The mother and daughter dragged on in such a hurry, and finally exhausted Ruan Chunling's patience.

In the end, she had to punish Tang Yating for kneeling in the living room for a full hour, and let her promise herself that she would never return late in the future, before giving up the questioning.

So after Tang Yating tossed for a whole day, she went home and because she didn't want to reveal the truth to her parents, she knelt for nearly two hours after questioning and punishing, and didn't fall asleep until the early hours of the morning, so she didn't get up on time as usual this morning.

If it weren't for Tang Xiaobin waking himself up when he got up, I'm afraid Tang Yating would have to continue to sleep.

By the time she arrived outside the classroom, it had already been nearly five minutes or so before the start of class. However, when she was hesitating about how to face the embarrassing scene that would come later, and the teacher's questioning, she saw a student in the same class in front of her, who was also late and rushed to the classroom now.

However, he didn't have as many worries as Tang Yating, and slipped in very calmly from the back door of the slightly open classroom, with a look on his face that seemed to be calm and calm, and he was not in a hurry or panic, and Tang Yating was slightly dumbfounded-

Doesn't the teacher care about the tardiness of the student?

Standing outside the classroom door again and waiting for a while, seeing that nothing had happened to the classmate who had just entered, Tang Yating finally relented and decided to walk into the classroom as well.

She took a deep breath of the cool morning air and held her head high, but instead of slipping in through the back door like the student just now, she chose to go directly through the front door. After all, with her unwilling personality in her eyes, she really couldn't do such a reluctant thing.

"Report."

Slowly pushing open the main door of the lightly covered classroom, Tang Yating looked at the podium, and her voice was not hurried but still a little depressed. However, when she saw the familiar figure of the teacher standing on the podium, her face couldn't help but show a touch of sadness.

Because the teacher on the podium who is concentrating on teaching at the moment is the evergreen who has been quite aimed at himself before.

However, for Tang Yating's "report", which was not a small voice, Chang Qing continued to hold the book in one hand and the pen in the other, facing the courseware of the projector on the blackboard, and talked about the course with a flat face, without even glancing at Tang Yating.

Seeing this, Tang Yating's face, which was still sad, instantly turned red and embarrassed.

She first looked away and casually glanced at the students sitting at the desks below, only to see that a few of them were looking at her with a strange gaze, while the remaining boys were quietly frowning at her, as if conveying something.

Tang Yating's eyebrows raised slightly, but it was obvious that she didn't understand their hints. After slowly retracting her gaze, she pursed her lips, glanced at the corner of the wall, raised her voice slightly, and continued to call out in an awkward tone.

"Report."

After Tang Yating's voice fell this time, Chang Qing, who was standing on the podium, couldn't help frowning, and finally looked at Tang Yating at the door with some impatience, but quickly retracted it again.

After he took a deep breath, he let go of his frown and started the course again, obviously still ignoring Tang Yating's meaning.

Seeing that Chang Qing clearly saw herself, but pretended to ignore it, Tang Yating's heart finally changed from embarrassment to anxiety; I didn't care so much about it immediately, and I only thought that maybe Changqing really wouldn't care about the students being late, so I breathed a sigh of relief in my heart, and walked quickly in front of the podium, and then prepared to walk to an empty seat in the front row of the desk.

"Stop!"

The sudden loud cheers spread from the classroom, not only did Tang Yating's steps stiffen in place, but even the other students in the entire classroom who were listening intently were stunned by Chang Qing's obviously angry words.

Tang Yating turned her head to stare at Chang Qing with a complicated expression, but she still had a promise in her heart.

After all, this time it was her late first, although looking at Changqing's appearance, it was obvious that she had plans for herself, but Tang Yating did not show too impatience, and stood quietly in place, waiting for the other party's next possible stormy reproach.

But to Tang Yating's surprise again, Chang Qing's face was a little gloomy, but she turned serious, looking at Tang Yating's gaze fluctuated slightly, and soon gradually calmed down, and said to her in a calm tone: "Tang Yating, please stand outside the classroom." ”

"Teacher Changqing, I-"

As soon as Chang Qing's words that couldn't see her emotions fell, the color on Tang Yating's pretty face changed drastically.

Seeing that he actually kicked himself out of the classroom so unreasonably, his heart was full of unwilling emotions, and finally provoked the girl to open her mouth desperately. But as soon as she opened her mouth, she felt a strange gaze cast at her from a corner of the podium beside her.

Tang Yating looked in a trance for a moment, stopped what she was about to say and turned her head slightly, wanting to find the clear and blazing gaze just now, but it happened to be in the corner seat of the front row, Zhou Ziqi's thick eyebrows were lightly folded, and his eyes fluctuated with familiar eyes.

And when the eyes of the two quietly met, Chang Qing had already opened his mouth again and asked, "How are you?" ”

Surprised by Chang Qing's active questioning, Tang Yating almost didn't think about it and directly whispered to defend herself, and expressed the doubts in her heart: "Just now I saw that other students were also late, and they walked directly into the classroom, didn't you say anything, why did you punish me for standing outside the classroom if it was me?" ”

"Did you go straight into the classroom and sit quietly?" Chang Qing raised his eyebrows and asked Tang Yating rhetorically.

Tang Yating was dumbfounded for a while, but she didn't expect Chang Qing to suddenly ask her like this.

The girl pursed her red lips and pondered for a moment, as if she had finally figured out something. Because she has been in contact with the latter for a period of time, Tang Yating also knows a little about Changqing's various quirks and habits.

Today's meeting is obviously caused by the disagreement between the two people.

"Okay, I'll admit that I didn't walk into the classroom quietly and sit down properly, and disturbed your teaching and other classmates, I'm sorry. But can the teacher let me stand in the classroom? Even if it's in the corner of the door, because I really want to listen to the class. ”

After adjusting her somewhat messy thoughts and breathing, Tang Yating reluctantly retracted her heart, her self-esteem full of complaints and wanting to resist, and whispered to Chang Qing with her head slightly lowered, her tone was extremely earnest.

A strange fluctuation flashed in Changqing's eyes, and he looked at Tang Yating calmly, but he didn't say anything to agree or refuse, obviously he might be waiting and hesitating.

"Teacher Changqing, please grant Tang Yating's request!"

When Tang Yating stood quietly in front of the podium with her head down, and Chang Qing still kept her eyes on her and never moved away, in a corner under the podium, Zhou Ziqi, who had just gestured to Tang Yating, took the lead in raising his head and speaking loudly at Chang Qing, and the sincerity between his words was also overflowing.

This sudden scene not only broke the overflow of silence in the classroom in an instant, but even the faint snoring sound from under the podium was stopped by Zhou Ziqi's rather sonorous words.

A flash of surprise flashed between Changqing's eyebrows, and Tang Yating, who had been hanging her head, turned her gaze to Zhou Ziqi, who was sitting upright on the seat, and her expression changed, each with a slightly different reaction.

However, under the inquiring gaze of the two and even the whole class, Zhou Ziqi did not change in the slightest, his eyes stared at Chang Qing, and he never glanced at Tang Yating not far away.

Originally, because of Zhou Ziqi's sideways words, the classroom that had been slightly disturbed for a moment soon fell into complete silence again. Tang Yating looked quietly at Zhou Ziqi in the seat not far away from her with a complicated expression, her eyes flowed, and her eyelids seemed to reveal a strong sense of friendship.

"Teacher Changqing, please agree to Tang Yating's request!"

"Yes, Teacher Chang, you can promise her."

"Huh? Oh, yes, yes......"

The tense atmosphere in the classroom was overflowing, and it was vaguely depressed, as if it had received some kind of silent instructions, and all kinds of harmonies came from the mouths of the students in an instant, and then Zhou Ziqi's words fell.

Even Tong Beibei, who was sitting in the last row and had just woken up from a fragrant dream, couldn't help but raise her throat at this moment, yawning in a daze, and shouting a word of peace.

"Let Yating, heha - listen to the lecture in the classroom!"
