Ye Qing had transmigrated into a book — into a 1970s military marriage novel — as a “background wall.” a character who only existed in the conversations between the female and male leads.
Ye Qing didn't take it seriously until Friday night, when he knocked on Ye Qing's door. Qin Ye saw him and quickly invited him in.
"Qingqing, Brigade Commander Sun is here, hurry up and pour a cup of tea."
Ye Qing was correcting homework in the study. When she came out, she found that the Brigade Commander Sun mentioned by Qin Ye was Sun Jialin's father.
Ye Qing poured him some tea and placed it on the coffee table. Knowing that he was here to see her, she sat on the sofa and waited for him to speak.
Sun Jingrun looked at Ye Qing for a long time, and finally spoke: "Teacher Ye, the other day I said I wanted to ask you for help. I went back and discussed it with my wife, and we both agreed that we have to trouble you for this matter."
Qin Ye looked at him and had already guessed something in his mind. He wanted to refuse, but he felt that they were old comrades-in-arms for many years, and it would not be appropriate to refuse like this.
Then Sun Jingrun continued, "This is it, Teacher Ye. Sun Jialin has an older brother who is now in junior high school. He was more obedient than Jialin and smarter than him, and his grades were always among the best."
He lowered his head and hesitated for a moment, but continued, "Don't be ridiculous. My wife and I are not well educated, and we have suffered from our lack of education. We want him to study hard and enter a military academy like Captain Qin in the future. But...but..."
Seeing him hesitating and failing to get to the point, Ye Qing knew that there must be something he was hiding.
"only……"
He finally made up his mind and continued: "Recently, he fell in love with a girl and refused to go to school no matter what. He insisted on marrying her. Not only did his grades plummet, but he also...he even lived with that girl!"
"This child... this child's life is over!"
"What?! How old is he?"
Ye Qing was so shocked that she almost jumped up.
She had seen people fall in love too early, but this was the first time she had seen someone fall in love too early and taste the forbidden fruit. This was not something she could handle.
Qin Ye waved his hand to signal Ye Qing to calm down, and said, "Old Sun, don't say that for now. Life is long, even if the child makes a mistake, it won't cost him his whole life."
"It's just that Ye Qing is just a teacher. She can't control the children's private lives, right?"
Ye Qing nodded. This was what she wanted to say.
Sun Jingrun shook his head: "I didn't mean to ask Teacher Ye to help me manage his private life, but the girl's family came to our house and the girl also wanted to go to school with him. She said that the two of them should go to college together so that they can be together for the rest of their lives."
"But the girl is already old and she hasn't even finished her elementary school courses, so she can't keep up with the junior high school courses. I went to the school, but they clearly said they don't accept such a student. So I thought, I want to ask Teacher Ye to help her with her lessons. When the junior high school entrance examination comes this year, I'll let her take the exam."
"It's really hard for me to say this, but the child has already done it. If we as parents don't cover for him, who will?"
Ye Qing glanced at Qin Ye, who did not comment, so she could only make her own decision.
Ye Qing looked at Sun Jingrun: "So, Commander Sun wants me to help that girl with her lessons at night? Where is she from?"
Sun Jingrun raised his head: "The girl lives in my house now! Teacher Ye, don't worry, I can bring her here every night. As long as you are willing to help, I... I can pay for the tuition every day!"
Ye Qing waved her hand: "Captain Sun, don't be impatient. Can you let me meet the girl first? Learning is not something that can be achieved overnight. I need to see what her foundation is like."
Sun Jingrun stood up and saluted Ye Qing: "Thank you, Teacher Ye! I have brought her here. She is outside. I will go call her now!"
Qin Ye leaned on the sofa helplessly: "Come on, I have to take this job even if I don't want to. They come prepared."
When Ye Qing saw the girl, she was stunned: "You...you are not that..."
