Chapter 72 Expectations

In the afternoon, Jiang Yining took another look at the whole drawer of "small umbrellas", which included different brands and functions.

Jiang Yining was frightened by what she saw. She wondered what others thought of He Chi when he went to purchase goods.

I hope he doesn't buy it at the supermarket they often go to, otherwise she won't dare to go there next time.

At this moment, He Chi was still waiting for her answer.

The lights were not on, but Jiang Yining knew her face was probably red as blood. She bit her lip and said, "I fell asleep."

He Chi felt very dizzy and was trying to keep himself awake while waiting for her response. When he heard her words, he couldn't help but laugh.

Hearing the laughter beside his ears, Jiang Yining wanted to cover his face and run away.

He Chi didn't force her. When he thought he wouldn't get a concrete answer, he heard Jiang Yining's shy voice, "Tomorrow...tomorrow night I should be able to come back early."

In the darkness, He Chi hugged her and smiled silently.

The next morning, He Chi was still asleep when the alarm clock rang. It only rang once before Jiang Yining turned it off.

Jiang Yining only got ready when the second alarm rang.

She slept in the same position all night. When she wanted to get out of He Chi's arms, she found that he was holding her too tightly.

Moreover, He Chi slept very deeply after getting drunk, and Jiang Yining couldn't wake him up even if she called him.

After getting up, Jiang Yining felt sore all over his back.

He Chi woke up when she came out after washing up. He Chi looked at his phone and it was already seven o'clock.

Jiang Yining said, "You should sleep a little longer. I don't have time to eat breakfast at home. I'll buy some bread on the way."

He Chi couldn't drive right now, so he hummed lazily, "Take a taxi, don't squeeze into the bus."

The quilt covering him had almost slipped down to his waist. Seeing such an exciting scene so early in the morning, Jiang Yining was afraid that he would have a nosebleed.

She quickly turned her eyes away, responded, and walked out of the bedroom as if escaping.

Last night, only the bedside lamp was on, and the light in the bedroom was dim, far less visually impactful than it is now in broad daylight.

He Chi originally wanted to sleep for another half an hour, but as soon as he closed his eyes, he recalled what Jiang Yining said yesterday.

She said she should be back early today.

Thinking of this, He Chi suddenly became energetic. His mood was not affected by the dizziness after the hangover at all. Instead, he became more excited, and could even be said to be looking forward to it.

The company must have a lot of things to do on Monday, and with He Jin watching over the bar, it's okay for him to go there occasionally.

In order to avoid having to work overtime tonight, He Chi immediately got up from the bed and made an appointment for a designated driver while going to the bathroom to wash up.

When going out, He Xiaohui saw He Chi was about to go out and followed him.

He Chi left it in the pet shop for two days over the weekend. Now he and Jiang Yining went out to work one after another, and He Xiaohui had to stay at home alone again.

He Chi understood that it wanted to follow him to work.

He was in a good mood today and was willing to indulge He Xiaohui for once. He hooked his finger and asked He Xiaohui to follow.

He Chi walked fast, so He Xiaohui started running.

When he was about to open the door to go out, he received a message from Jiang Yining, "I'm at school. Remember to pour some cat food for He Xiaohui before you leave."

He Chi took a photo of her: [It wants to go to work with me.]

Jiang Yining's message reminded him, so He Chi went to get two toy balls and cat food for He Xiaohui.

Jiang Yining saw the picture sent by He Chi when she was going up the stairs. He Xiaohui was so lazy when he was with her and insisted on being held by her.

But He Chi did not receive such treatment.

Nowadays, even cats know how to bully the weak and fear the strong.

She curved her lips and smiled. It was still early. There was no traffic jam when she came here, and the driver drove fast. It only took her ten minutes to reach the school.

Jiang Yining remembered that there were cookies in her desk drawer, so she was too lazy to go to the bakery.

There were only a few students in the school, and she guessed that the other teachers in the office had not arrived yet.

When he arrived at the office, Jiang Yining looked at the person standing at the door in surprise, "Zhiyao, are you waiting for the teacher?"

Wang Zhiyao nodded shyly, and after Jiang Yining opened the office door, she followed him in.

She handed the thing in her hand to Jiang Yining, "Teacher Jiang, these are the meat buns my mother made herself. She said she was very grateful that you came to her home to enlighten me."

The meat buns were placed in a disposable lunch box. Wang Zhiyao had held it in her hand and put it behind her back. Jiang Yining didn't know that she had given him something.

Jiang Yining smiled at her gently, "Zhiyao, this is what a teacher should do."

She looked at the box of meat buns in Wang Zhiyao's hand with embarrassment. Their school had very strict requirements in this regard.

The main reason is that a teacher had been complained by parents before. In fact, it was just a handicraft given by a student. Other parents had opinions about it and felt that the teacher would favor the student who gave the gift in the future.

After thinking about it, Jiang Yining politely declined, "Zhiyao, the school has a rule that teachers cannot accept things from students..."

Before she finished speaking, she saw a hint of disappointment in Wang Zhiyao's eyes.

Wang Zhiyao said, "I understand, Teacher Jiang, but thank you very much."

She thought for a moment, then raised her face. The disappointment in her eyes was replaced by a smile. "My father compromised. He is willing to divorce my mother. The house, half of the property, and my custody will all go to my mother."

"Teacher Jiang, I know teachers don't interfere in students' family affairs. I just want to tell you that my mother and I will be fine in the future."

When Wang Zhiyao was about to go out, Jiang Yining stopped her.

"Zhiyao."

Wang Zhiyao turned around.

Jiang Yining smiled at her and stretched out his hand towards Wang Zhiyao. "There are some biscuits in the teacher's drawer. I want to exchange them for breakfast with you. Are you willing?"

Wang Zhiyao smiled and said, "Yes, Teacher Jiang, here you go."

Jiang Yining took the meat bun from her, raised one hand to rub her hair, and then opened her drawer, where there was a bottle of milk given by Teacher Liu.

She gave them all to Wang Zhiyao and said jokingly, "Zhiyao, the teacher's breakfast is rather simple and not as delicious as your meat buns. I hope you don't mind."

"I don't mind. Thank you, Teacher Jiang."

Jiang Yining said tactfully, "Zhiyao, we can only exchange breakfast this once."

Wang Zhiyao nodded vigorously, "Teacher Jiang, I understand."

She took the biscuits and milk given by Jiang Yining and walked out of the office. When she reached the door, she turned around and smiled happily at Jiang Yining.

When they returned to the classroom, Ma Xing, who was sitting behind him, walked into the classroom and asked her, "Wang Zhiyao, I smell the aroma of meat buns. Give me one. The buns your mother makes are so delicious."

Wang Zhiyao generously shared with him, "My mother made a lot today, but I can only give you two, and I have to leave some for my classmates."

Ma Xing nodded with shining eyes, "That's enough. I bought some milk and I'll give you a bottle."

Wang Zhiyao showed Ma Xing the milk Jiang Yining gave her and said with a smile, "No need, I have milk."

"Okay, don't buy milk tomorrow. I'll bring it to you."

Wang Zhiyao hummed, "Thank you."

Ma Xing was the temporary class monitor. He had something to do in the office to see the head teacher. He ate two buns and then went out.

At the office door, he knocked on it and saw that Jiang Yining was the only one in the office. He called out, "Teacher Jiang."

Jiang Yining smiled at him, "Ma Xing, have you had breakfast?"

"Eat it." Ma Xing saw Jiang Yining eating a bun. He only needed to smell the smell to know that the bun also belonged to Wang Zhiyao.

He asked, "Teacher Jiang, do you also like the buns made by Wang Zhiyao's mother?"
