The air became unusually quiet, so quiet that one could hear Gan Defa's nervous breathing and the pounding of his heartbeat. He clenched his fists, his forehead was covered with sweat, and he felt so lost that he wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

"That... I... this is what I want to say, Tao, I like you, I bought this house specially, you like to come to school to work, the house is very close to the school, my parents like you too, can you marry me?"

Gan Defa was a little stuttering at first, but later he became more and more fluent and spoke out everything in his heart. After he finished speaking, he looked at Xia Tao nervously, his heart in his throat, even more nervous than when he was waiting for his college entrance examination scores.

Xia Tao stared at him expressionlessly. She seemed cold as ice, but in fact she was dumbfounded and her mind was blank.

She heard every word the big fool said, but she couldn't understand what they said together. Why should she get married? Does she look like the kind of woman who would be content to get married?

"You... you haven't made up your mind yet? It's okay, take your time to think about it. I know I'm not good-looking, but my father said that the most important thing for a man is responsibility. I promise that I will definitely treat you well for the rest of my life, take on the responsibility of the family, and won't let you suffer!"

Gan Defa solemnly promised that he would not swear an oath of eternal love, but he would treat Ah Tao well for the rest of his life, just like Lao Dou treated his mother. Although there would be quarrels, once something happened to one of them, the other one would definitely be the most nervous and worried.

"Have you eaten too many fish balls and your brain turned into fish balls? What nonsense are you talking about in broad daylight? Come on, come on, if you keep talking nonsense I'll smash your head!"

Xia Tao suddenly got angry, pushed Gan Defa out, and kicked the door.

"Bang!"

The door slammed shut, and the student roster hanging behind it fell to the ground with a thud.

"A Tao, I'm not talking nonsense, I'm telling the truth and it will never change!"

Gan Defa's voice came in.

"roll!"

Xia Tao shouted angrily, and Gan Defa, who was at the door, walked away dejectedly.

Xia Tao in the room felt that he had left, so she sat down and continued to eat fish balls. However, the fish balls, which she usually loved so much, now became bland and tasteless, like chewing wax.

“Fuck!”

Xia Tao was so angry that she threw the fish balls away and cursed with gritted teeth.

He came over here out of nowhere and talked nonsense, causing her to be unable to eat even the fish balls. It was only because she was in a good mood now, otherwise she would definitely chop off Gan Defa's head!

He actually wants her to get married. She must be tired of living!

Xia Tao was angry for half an hour, then calmed down a little and started eating fish balls again, but she felt the taste was not as good as before.

And she suddenly thought that after falling out with Gan Defa, she would no longer have fish balls to eat, and Gan's father and mother might not cook delicious food for her anymore.

“Fuck!”

Xia Tao felt worse than losing 100 million. She was so angry that she wanted to go find Gan Defa and have a fight. She must have been kicked in the head by a donkey. Does she look like a good wife and mother?

There are so many women in Hong Kong, but he chose to marry her?

You would never do such a stupid thing unless your head was kicked hundreds of times by a donkey!

Gan Defa, who was scolded by Xia Tao, sat in the garden dejectedly, with a gloomy expression and low mood, like a wronged big bear.

He thought Xia Tao was somewhat fond of him, because his parents said that they could see clearly from the outside that Xia Tao was interested in him, and they urged him to confess his feelings, so he mustered up the courage.

As expected, his parents’ presbyopia made it impossible to believe that Xia Tao had no interest in him at all, and he felt embarrassed to work with her in the future.

well!

Gan Defa, who was sighing, didn't notice that there were four sneaky teenagers behind him. They were Ling Yun and his cronies.

"Principal Gan, did you propose successfully? When will we have your and Master's wedding wine?"

The four boys asked in unison.

They are full of energy and never sleep during lunch break. They used to make trouble in the classroom, but after coming to Jiade, they no longer dare to do so. They can only wander in the garden and the playground to kill their excess energy.

"No."

Gan Defa answered subconsciously. When he saw the boy in front of him, he immediately straightened his back, put on the posture of a school leader, and asked with a stern face: "Why don't you take a lunch break?"

"Principal Gan, please stop being so stubborn. The master definitely didn't agree to your request, right?"

Ling Yun saw through it at a glance and said something that hurt him deeply.

"Master? Your master is Director Xia?"

Gan Defa then realized that the four teenagers were calling him Master, and asked curiously.

"Yes, we just became masters. When you marry Master, you will be our Master's uncle. Master, please tell us how Master rejected you. We are all experts in love and have a lot of experience. Let us give you some advice!"

The four young men were very enthusiastic, their words sweeter than honey, calling him "Master" one after another, which made Gan Defa curl his lips involuntarily. But when he thought of Xia Tao's refusal, his heart turned cold and his face fell.

"What do you kids know? Go back to the classroom and take a nap!"

Gan Defa stood up and said, "What do these young boys know about love? It's just a game played by children."

"Who are you looking down on by saying this? I've dated three girlfriends, all of them were very pretty. Master, you're so depressed, did my master reject you?"

Ling Yun said something that hurt his heart. Seeing Gan Defa's ugly face, he knew that he had guessed right, so he asked, "Did my master scold you?"

Gan Defa clenched his lips tightly, and the air pressure on his body was frighteningly low. This bastard had guessed everything. He was so embarrassed!

"Master, don't be impatient. How did Master scold you? It's better to tell me in detail. Sometimes when a woman scolds someone, she may not be scolding you. On the contrary, she scolds you because she cares about you. In short, women are very complicated species and cannot be taken lightly!"

Ling Yun made a very experienced analysis, and his three friends beside him all nodded.

Judging from the girlfriends they have dated, women are indeed the most complicated species in the world, even more complicated than chemical reactions.

"Is there any difference in scolding people?"

Gan Defa originally wanted to leave, but as he listened he stopped and couldn't help asking for advice.

"Of course, when a woman curses someone, it depends on the context. If a woman curses someone when they are alone in a room, it is flirting. But if a woman curses someone on the street, it means she is really cursing someone. Run away!"

Ling Yun spoke very logically and had studied women thoroughly.

Because his reference points are his mother and sister, two sisters-in-law, and the three girlfriends he has dated, he has so much experience.

Gan Defa couldn't help but nod his head after listening to this. It did make some sense. These kids knew quite a bit.

He hesitated for a few minutes, and finally repeated all the words Xia Tao had said to him before.

"My master didn't hit you?"

Ling Yun asked.

Gan Defa shook his head, "Just push me out."

Ling Yun patted him on the shoulder and encouraged him sincerely: "My master is so hot-tempered, but she didn't hit you. This means she must be interested in you, but she was not ready at the moment. There is an ancient poem that says, 'It's hard to cut it off, it's hard to sort it out, and then I can stop frowning!'"

"The worry has just left my brow, but it's still on my mind!"

"There is no way to get rid of this feeling."

"It's the sadness of separation, a different feeling in my heart!"

The three friends took turns to talk and finally completed the task.

The four young men were very proud and felt a great sense of accomplishment. They had made great progress and could even recite ancient poems!
