Chapter 330 Don’t Play with Fire

"Is it because I'm not good-looking?" Fu Jinzhou asked knowingly.

Su Li shook her head, but her tears flowed even harder.

It's not that it doesn't look good, it's that she misses him too much. In order not to make her parents worry, she hides her longing very tightly. When it's late at night and everyone is asleep, her longing is infinitely magnified.

And she would only think of him wantonly at times like that!

The feeling of relief that had been hanging in the balance for nearly two months came from the moment he stepped on the moon for her.

Fu Jinzhou didn't ask any more questions.

Some emotions need no words.

He leaned over, his arms across her knees and back.

Steadily and without hesitation, he picked her up sideways.

Su Li stared at him in shock and subconsciously hugged his neck.

"Fu Jinzhou, don't mess around, my parents are here."

"Let's go back to the room."

Su Li's face flushed. "Go wash up first. The meal will be ready soon."

Fu Jinzhou pursed his lips and said nothing, staring at her with a burning gaze.

Su Li knew he wouldn't listen, so she simply let him hold her, burying her cheek in his neck.

There was a faint smell of tobacco, the smell of the cold air outside, and a unique scent that belonged to Fu Jinzhou, which made her feel extremely at ease.

He walked through the small hall with steady and powerful steps.

His family members might be following him, but at this moment he didn't want to worry about anything and just wanted to hug the person in his arms.

He closed the door gently with his heel.

With a "click", the outside world was cut off, leaving only the two of them.

But he didn't let her go.

He held her in his arms and walked step by step to the bed.

Fu Jinzhou's arms tightened more and more, pushing her deeper into his arms.

It seems to make up for the two months of separation and longing.

With his chin resting on the top of her head, he could smell the faint scent of soapberry on her hair, the scent he had always missed.

Su Li also hugged him back tightly, her cheek pressed against his warm chest.

Through the thin fabric of his shirt, I could clearly feel the firmness of his muscles and the steady, powerful heartbeat.

Each sound, like the most beautiful requiem, struck her heart.

Neither of them spoke, no one said "I miss you".

But all the longing I had for you day and night in the past two months melted away in this silent embrace.

His arms are a harbor to Su Li, the safest destination after experiencing stormy waves.

Her embrace was a comfort to Fu Jinzhou, and the warmth he longed for most after washing away the dust of his journey.

The air is filled with an inextricable sense of attachment and peace of mind.

a long time.

It lasted so long that Su Li's tears gradually stopped, leaving only slightly red eye sockets and nose tip.

All the fatigue from Fu Jinzhou's long journey seemed to be relieved in this warm embrace.

A thousand words can express everything in silence.

At this moment, they just need to feel each other's presence. A hug is better than all the sweet words in the world.

"Gurgle"

A discordant sound broke the long intimacy.

Su Li stood up from Fu Jinzhou's arms and asked nervously, "Are you very hungry?"

Fu Jinzhou nodded aggrievedly, "I'm very hungry. I didn't have lunch."

"But, I want to hug you more."

Su Li bit her lip for a moment, then quickly kissed him on the lips and teased, "Hurry up and eat. You'll have more energy after you're full!"

Fu Jinzhou suppressed his laughter and said in a hoarse voice, "Even if I don't eat, I still have enough strength. I can handle you more than enough!"

Su Li raised her hand and patted his chest lightly, "Eat, your health is more important."

Fu Jinzhou raised the corner of his mouth and pulled her out. Before leaving, he didn't forget to whisper in her ear, "If I wasn't afraid of my parents laughing at me, the person I want to eat the most right now is you."

Su Li knew that he would not go too far here, let alone do anything at this time, so she teased him deliberately, "Why don't we stop eating, and..."

Fu Jinzhou frowned, his eyes burning, "Su Li, don't play with fire. I can't always control myself."

…

On the last working day of the semester, the school was filled with the atmosphere of farewell and holiday relaxation.

Whether teachers or students, everyone is looking forward to the arrival of the holidays.

The sound of cicadas chirped one after another, and the sunlight shone through the window lattice, casting mottled light and shadows on Su Li's clean desk.

Su Li stood in front of the window, looking at the people coming and going on the campus, her thoughts going back to eight or nine years ago.

She entered Pingjiang University for the first time as a student.

After a happy college life, she successfully stayed on campus and worked her way up from teaching assistant to where she is today.

Pingjiang University carries many memories for her, and the past is like a cloud of smoke.

Whether good or bad, happy or painful, each step makes up her life.

She has no regrets and no feelings of shame. She takes every step seriously, doing her best to be worthy of others and herself.

So at this moment, Su Li, although reluctant, is also calm!

She is going to teach at Dongjiang University.

Before leaving, you still have to say goodbye.

She knocked on the principal's office door.

"Come in."

Principal Zhou's voice was a little tired. When he looked up and saw that it was Su Li, he was stunned for a moment, then stood up with a complicated expression on his face.

"Teacher Su, are you leaving?"

Su Li nodded and handed over the formal document that had been prepared long ago.

"Yes, Principal Zhou. I came here today to say goodbye to you and thank you for your continued care and concern for the school."

Her tone was calm and polite.

Principal Zhou took the document but did not look at it immediately. He just sighed and his eyes fell on Su Li's clear yet deep eyes.

"Teacher Su, it's me and the school who should be thanked."

His voice dropped, guilt evident in it.

"Regarding Zhao Xinran...that incident, the school...did do something wrong."

"I didn't investigate thoroughly right away, causing you so much injustice, and even... almost..."

He didn't say the rest of the words, but the heavy apology in his voice came through clearly.

She was betrayed by trusted students, slandered by rumors, and framed, but the school always obeyed her.

Only the last time did I do something that didn't make her feel heartbroken.

Su Li listened quietly, with no expression on her face, but there were some ripples in her heart.

She is not a saint and it is impossible for her to completely forget the hurt.

But she also understood that as a teacher, she could not be criticized in the slightest, and the school also had its own stance.

Although she felt disappointed, she could also understand.

Su Li shook her head and said in a gentle voice, "Principal Zhou, it's all over."

"I'm fine now."

"I understand the school's stance at the time. You don't have to mind."

Her frankness made Principal Zhou's eyes look even more guilty.

He looked at the young female teacher in front of him who had become more calm and resilient after experiencing hardships, and felt a lot of emotions in his heart.

"Dongjiang University is a top university in China. Your admission is a testament to your ability and opportunity."

Principal Zhou calmed himself down and adopted an encouraging tone.

"I hope everything goes well for you in your new environment and that you have a bright future."

"Thank you, Principal." Su Li smiled sincerely.

After saying goodbye to Principal Zhou, Su Li returned to her former office.

The door was ajar and there was someone inside.
