1 Chapter 1
"A few slow walks, welcome to visit next time."
"The food here is really good. Go away, don't let your coats fall. ”
"Yo, don't shake it, Lao Xu's alcohol consumption is as bad as ever."
“......”
On the night of Beijing in August, the lights are on.
A group of young people walked out of a Chinese restaurant talking and laughing.
Chu Cheng took two steps slowly, waited for the dormitory director who had just settled the bill at the bar, and asked while touching his mobile phone, "How much did it cost?" Follow the old rule A. ”
The other party stuffed the ticket into his pocket and opened his voice with a faint smell of wine: "What else is going on?" The last meal before the gang dispersed, I was invited. ”
After three years of graduate students, we have long been close. Hearing him say this, no one cared anymore, and they all laughed and responded, "Brother Xie for your hospitality".
Everyone walked and talked. The dormitory director took the opportunity to put his arm on Chu Cheng's shoulder and asked, "When are you going to leave?" ”
"Tomorrow."
As early as half a year ago, Chu Cheng had already signed a job through the designated school recruitment interview and went to teach in a high school in another city.
So this meal is not only a dormitory dinner to celebrate graduation, but also a practice for him.
The dormitory director took a deep breath of cool air and sighed with a sigh: "The group of people around us who drifted in from other places, whether they want to start working or continue to study for a doctorate like Brother Chuan, have all stayed in Beijing. I never thought that in the end, you were a native of Beijing and wanted to go to other provinces and cities. ”
Hearing this, a friend who was helping the tree to sober up also raised his head and said smoothly: "That's it, what do you think?" The courtyard at home can't fit you? And being an ordinary middle school teacher, no matter what you do, is not as good as your family giving you ...... Oops—"
didn't wait for this person to finish speaking, Xu Chuan, who was standing next to him, pinched him: "Did you drink too much?" Say anything. ”
Only then did the classmate realize that what he said just now was inappropriate, and he made up to himself: "Nonsense, can I squat here if I haven't drunk too much?" ”
"I graduated from a normal college with a master's degree, why can't I be a teacher?" Chu Cheng knew that he had no intention, so he just smiled absently and skipped the topic.
As the twilight deepens, the urban business district has entered its most lively time. The substitute driver who had just called had not yet arrived, and a group of people who had drunk walked to the side of the road and waited.
"Holy! The car is really level. ”
Everyone heard a word of complaining and followed the sound to surround them.
The parking lot near the hotel is crowded with all kinds of famous cars. A Bentley Bentayga was lying at the outermost, the linen white of the body looked quiet and low-key at night, and it was so intimate with the dormitory master's favorite car that it didn't raise its worth of four million at all.
"Hey, if you can't do it at all, you can drive a luxury car at such a limit?"
"Haha boss, just ask you if you dare to move?"
"There's a moving phone in there, right? But a number was blocked. Xu Chuan looked around Bentley and carefully distinguished it against the glass, "This is 6 and 8...... Or 9? It seems like it's all possible. ”
The dormitory director smiled helplessly: "Don't worry about the number." My phone is out of battery, you can call one by one, otherwise how will it pour out? ”
"Okay, then I'll try and make a mistake first." Xu Chuan straightened up, dialed one of the numbers quickly, and put the phone to his ear for a moment, not surprisingly, "The user has been shut down." ”
Chu Cheng and his other roommates also took out their mobile phones and made their own calls.
Roommate: "I don't have anyone to pick up." ”
"I seem to be ......" Chu Cheng listened to six or seven waiting tones in a row, and was about to follow the attached sentence but didn't get through, and a male voice suddenly came out of the earpiece.
"Hello?"
Chu Cheng hurriedly pressed the tip of his tongue against the chewing gum in his mouth, and glanced at the license plate: "Hello, is it the owner of the Beijing A966?" ”
"I am."
Short two words, low voice, deep but not greasy.
Chu Cheng continued: "That's right, now our car is blocked in the parking space by you and can't get out." The distance between the cars is too close, in order to avoid scratches and unnecessary losses, do you think it is convenient to come and move? ”
The roommates gathered their eyes and gave him a thumbs up.
The person on the other end of the line groaned for a moment, and then spoke: "Where is it?" ”
"The parking lot at the east gate of the Baihui Tavern." Hatsusumi looked around and named the landmarks nearby. This is a fairly famous nightclub in the area, and few people don't know about it.
The bass responded, "Got it, I'll go right over." ”
"Are you coming?" As soon as the phone hung up, roommate Xu Chuan came over and joked, "People don't think you're accosting you in such a low way, right?" ”
Chu Cheng twisted his eyebrows: "Man." ”
"Huh? Boring. I thought it was a rich woman. Xu Chuan glanced at the feminine hanging ornament in the car and smacked his lips regretfully.
Everyone couldn't help laughing and sarcastically, the intellectuals who are about to study for a doctorate are still the only ones who have this point.
The night breeze blows comfortably. The young people leaned against the guardrail and chatted to pass the time. After a short while, a taxi with passengers pulled up to the side of the street, and a rather handsome man got out of the passenger seat.
He wears a white T-shirt and a black cardigan, and a pair of khaki slacks on the lower half of his body. With a height of 188 and above, the leg lines are long and straight, and the simple style is also worn out with a sense of luxury.
"You're a Bentley owner, aren't you?" Chu Cheng looked at the solemn aura of the visitor, and in order to prove that his phone call just now was not harassment, he turned sideways to get out of the way of the parking lot entrance so that the other party could check the internal situation, "Our car is that A4L, and it has indeed been blocked." ”
The man glanced at the Bentley, who was parked quite casually, his thick eyebrows frowned slightly, as if he was displeased, but he still kept his temper and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry for the trouble." I'll go get the keys. ”
After speaking, the man walked straight into the dimly lit Baihui Pub.
Chu Cheng watched his back video engraved, then his eyes fell back to his roommate, and he said in a low voice: "The male car owner, do you believe it now?" ”
"Are you really innocent or stupid?" Xu Chuan smiled subtly and stopped talking.
Chu Cheng was confused. It wasn't until a few minutes later that the man just walked out of the nightclub with a drunk girl with long curly hair on his shoulders.
The female body is hot, and the glamorous makeup looks more mature, but the two are roughly the same age.
"Damn, there are really rich women?" The dormitory headmaster glared and gossiped blatantly, "What is the relationship between these two people?" ”
"Pretty driver picks up boss?"
"Something's wrong, it seems that the man is the owner. Could it be that the married husband came to catch the adulterer? ”
In between the roommates' curious speculations, the man had already helped the girl into the Bentley passenger seat. He was about to lean over to fasten his seat belt when he was impatiently pushed away.
"When will it be your turn to take care of me?" The girl impatiently shoved a wad of red cash into the man's collar, then rubbed her temples and closed her eyes and leaned back in the chair, "Take the money and get out." ”
The bills were blown away by the night wind. The man's eyes were cold and restrained, and after a moment of silence, he bent down his slender legs and picked up the money and the high heels that the girl had kicked off.
"Tsk." The roommate next to him smacked his lips when he saw this, "Anyway, it looks quite complicated." ”
The other party's tolerance did not make the girl stop, and she continued to get drunk and talk with the strength of the wine, and the more she spoke, the more outrageous she became.
"Yu Chen, you can stop in moderation. The man felt the gaze falling on him from around him, gave a low warning, and then forcefully fastened her seatbelt and closed the door to drive.
Bentley pulled out of the parking space and quickly disappeared into the lights of the main road.
The group watched the excitement enough.
Xu Chuan also picked up a hundred-yuan bill that was blown to the bottom of the car by the wind, and turned his head to tease: "Have you seen it?" There are winds and moons and gold all over the imperial capital, are you willing to go? ”
Chu Cheng looked at the end of the extremely prosperous street at night, a pair of clear smiling eyes bent under his deep eyelids, and said very obediently: "I am still suitable for being a people's teacher in an ordinary city." ”
Xu Chuan smiled without saying a word, and his face clearly said, "It's good if you're happy." ”
Soon, the substitute driver arrived on a bicycle. The young people laughed and got into the car and left, ending the farewell party.
*
In the early morning of the second day, Chu Cheng did not wake up his drunken roommates, and left Beijing alone by high-speed train.
Tingzhou No. 10 Middle School, one of the city's old key high schools, is also a job that Chu Cheng will continue to struggle for for many years in the future.
At this time, the students here have not officially returned to school, and only a few boarders carrying luggage can be seen on the road leading to the playground.
The campus statue at the main entrance is engraved with the school motto: Chongde Shangwen, Harmony and Difference. The greenery everywhere reflects the buildings full of design in the distance, which is not only elegant in the landscape, but also has a strong learning atmosphere.
Maybe it's a good place to teach and spend half of your life.
Chu Cheng dragged his suitcase unhurriedly, and while holding the registration notice sent by the Personnel Department of the Tingzhou Education Bureau to hand in materials everywhere, he was doing a campus tour.
"The onboarding procedures have been completed." The school staff stamped the official seal on Chu Cheng's teacher work card and handed it back along with other documents, "Welcome Teacher Chu to join No. 10 Middle School." ”
"I'm in trouble." Chu Cheng nodded and thanked him, "Then where should I go next to prepare for the handover?" ”
"The specific class course arrangement, as well as the training of new teachers before the start of school, are all under the management of the Academic Affairs Office. You pass through the front corridor and the second room on the right-hand side is there. I just called and they are waiting for you there. ”
"Thank you."
"You're welcome."
Chu Cheng left the school recruitment office, and according to the path pointed out by the staff, it was easy to find the sign of [Senior Second Year Academic Affairs Office].
The last time I saw these words seemed to be seven or eight years ago. After such a long time, I have changed from a student to a teacher.
Chu Cheng stood at the door of the office and took a few deep breaths, mentally prepared to enter the workplace from now on, and mustered up the courage to knock on the door.
Before he could do so, he suddenly heard a conversation coming from inside his office.
A slightly older voice: "I am a master of Beijing Normal University, and I am a fully excellent recommended student in the school recruitment double selection meeting, and my interview performance is also quite good." At that time, he had more than one offer from our school......"
"It's not a question of how good his grades are." Another young and deep male voice interrupted the former, "The Chinese foundation of our class is already poor, and I finally got a little better when I met a responsible teacher, and after only half a year of teaching, I will be replaced by a stunned boy who has just graduated, what is this called?" ”
Hatsumi's movements paused.
With a master's degree from Beijing Normal University, I just graduated and taught Chinese, and these elements were merged together, and the familiarity was crazy up.
But who is the "stunned boy" talking about? Is it polite?
All the mental preparations that had just been made half a minute ago were crushed by four words at this moment.
After calming down a little, Chu Cheng bent his knuckles and knocked on the door of the academic affairs office.
The conversation in the room stopped abruptly, and only after a moment did two words sound: "Please come in." ”
As long as I'm not embarrassed, it's someone else who is embarrassed.
Chu Cheng entered the door with a hard head, and was about to act as if nothing had happened, when he raised his eyes, he saw a very familiar person at the desk.
Tall and long-legged, with a sharp silhouette and deep dark eyes. Even though the other party changed his clothes from top to bottom, Chu Cheng still recognized it at a glance.
He's the owner of the Bentley last night!
In the previous school recruitment double selection meeting, the director of academic affairs had met Chu Cheng. He hurriedly got up at this time: "Teacher Chu is here." Come, let's introduce the excellent fresh blood that our school has received this year, Chu Cheng. This is the head teacher of the 7th class of the previous high school year, Yu Siting. He teaches math and will start his sophomore year next year, and you're going to be working together this semester. ”
"Hello Teacher Yu."
Out of the upbringing in his bones, Chu Cheng's greeting blurted out. In fact, his mind hasn't fully accepted it.
Because compared to himself, the person in front of him is even less like he is engaged in this profession.
Maybe it's because of the different years of study, when it comes to math teachers and male class teachers, Chu Cheng's impression is still the ancient image of wearing a warm jacket and spitting tea stems into the inner tank of the thermos cup.
But the person in front of him is young and handsome, well-dressed, and even his temperament is so outstanding that he doesn't look like a character who is both a father and a mother.
can think of what he just said about himself, Chu Cheng was suddenly angry, recalling the fragrant scene last night, and couldn't help but secretly slander himself.
Being thrown money by a drunk girl in front of a luxury car in a nightclub is your decent image!
Chu Cheng just wanted to open his mouth to say something more, but Yu Siting just stopped his movements and looked over, looking at him from top to bottom with a fierce and majestic look.
His facial features already have a sense of alienation and coldness, and when he stares down like this, he feels extremely oppressive.
Chu Cheng's neck was cold. I know that it is impossible for the other party to hear my inner thoughts, but I still feel weak. Fingers unconsciously clenched the corner of the table behind him.
This familiar aura......
The memory of being called by the old class through the back door in a high school self-study class suddenly hit me.
