Sports Day
After a heavy rain last night, the temperature was much lower this morning. Chen Jin went out happily, but shivered in the wind. He ran back home to put on another coat, which was from Baiyou.
The big orange dog lay on the sofa and watched her busying around, sweeping its tail back and forth.
"I'm going to work!" Chen Jin said to Daju at the door, and then called Shen Baichuan who lived next door. "Don't you have classes this morning? Are you going to school too?"
Shen Baichuan followed her out, “Today is your birthday, happy birthday.”
"Oh, right! I almost forgot about it. It was my uncle who reminded me when I called him last night. He said he would go home for dinner on Sunday and invite you to come along. You have to come out when you are free. I won't be there today because I have to go to night school. I'm going to be late. I'm going to work now."
Chen Jin glanced around furtively, took Shen Baichuan's hand and tiptoed to kiss him, a little flustered, and only kissed his chin. The next second he let go and ran away, like a mouse that had stolen lard.
Shen Baichuan reacted quickly, but Chen Jin ran faster. She will definitely perform better in this year's Teachers' Sports Meet than she did last year.
Chen Jin was still giggling when she arrived at the entrance of the college. When she went upstairs, she unexpectedly met Wu Kai. Chen Jin was in a good mood and didn't roll her eyes at him, which made Wu Kai feel flattered. After he walked away, he looked back and wondered: Did she take the wrong medicine today? !
"Morning."
Although it's always this early every day, Teacher He can tell that Chen Jin is in a particularly good mood today. I secretly curled my lips, thinking that something good must be happening, but the other person didn't say anything.
Zhou Ding has been very busy recently and has no time to pay attention to these details. He said, "There will be a sports meet tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. Alas, can't our college have more young teachers?"
"Being able to exercise is a blessing." Chen Jin chuckled and said, "Why don't you go to the hospital and get a prescription saying you're not in good health and can't do strenuous exercise?"
"...Then I'd better run. My kidneys are more important."
Everyone smiled meaningfully. As for which young teacher in the college has bad kidneys...everyone just knows it. Chen Jin mentioned: "Just now I saw Teacher Wu walking down the stairs very quickly, and it doesn't look like he has any kidney problems."
"Maybe he's just strong on the outside but weak on the inside. It's hard to say." Teacher Chang added. Then I felt that this was a matter of dignity, so I decided not to discuss it. I asked everyone to quickly compile the information the leader requested and summarize it for him.
These data are almost the same every time. Chen Jin has compiled a comprehensive version before, so now he just needs to look through the previous data. But sometimes the required information must be real-time, so you have to do it again.
I don’t know when the computer work that Shen Baichuan mentioned can be put on the agenda.
At noon, Zhou Ding closed the folder, stood up and called everyone to eat. Chen Jin waved his hand and said, "I'll go home to eat, you guys go eat."
Teacher He and Teacher Chang also said, "Let's go home and eat too."
Zhou Ding had to go to the cafeteria by himself. Fortunately, he met his old classmate Qin Siming downstairs in the college building. He also waited for Mei Wang and Feng Cunzhen, and finally went to the cafeteria together.
Mei Wang glanced at Chen Jin who was driving away, then quickly looked away and talked to the person next to him.
"Xiao Jin, you're back so early today?"
"Yes, Shen Baichuan prepared food at home, I'll go over and eat." Chen Jin ignored Professor Song's teasing smile, went home to call Daju, and then went to Shen Baichuan's house together.
Shen Baichuan gave her the keys to the courtyard gate and the main door of her house, and this was the first time Chen Jin had used them.
As soon as I entered the room, I saw Shen Baichuan bringing out the dishes, “Wash your hands and eat.”
Chen Jin put down the orange and looked at the dishes on the table first, then said affirmatively, "This was made by Aunt Yang."
Then he said thankfully, "I thought, you wouldn't let me eat the food you cooked on my birthday, eh, that's good. Don't worry, I won't let you eat the food I cooked on your birthday either."
Although making it yourself is a thoughtful act, there is really no need to force yourself to do it.
Shen Baichuan laughed, as expected of her, she said whatever she wanted. But you know what, she was quite sincere.
Aunt Yang left after cooking, saying that she would be an eyesore if she didn't stay. There were only the two of them at home, so there was no awkwardness at all. Chen Jin scooped up some soup to drink as soon as he sat down, without Shen Baichuan asking him to do so.
One of the great things about eating with Chen Jin is that she is not picky about food and she enjoys her meals very much. Even if the food tastes average, she will say “delicious, delicious” and even if she says it many times, she actually thinks the food tastes delicious. If something tastes good, she would say “it’s really delicious”, and then it would be twice as delicious.
The two of them concentrated on eating, and only slowed down when they were half full, then talked about the sports meet. Due to various reasons, this year's sports meet is nearly half a month later than last year.
Chen Jin suddenly thought of the photos he helped take last year, including Shen Baichuan’s… “If there is a chance, I will take photos for you again this year.”
"Again? You took the photo last year? Why didn't I receive any photos?"
"Then I'll give it to you together with this year's, haha." If I gave it to you in advance, would you still dare to let me take a photo? !
Shen Baichuan looked at her suspiciously, always feeling that her "Haha" contained gloating and a little bit of guilt. Without thinking much about it, he went to her house and saw that many of the photos displayed in her house were taken by her. In fact, they were taken very well, so he temporarily put his mind at ease.
After dinner, Shen Baichuan took a cake out of the refrigerator and said, “I have to go back to the villa after class in the afternoon. I may not be able to come back tonight, so I will eat cake with you in advance.”
Chen Jin looked at Shen Baichuan who came over with the cake and carefully put candles on it and lit it, and said softly: “Actually, our family doesn’t particularly care about birthdays or anything like that.”
When her uncle told her last night that he would celebrate his birthday on the weekend, she felt strange. It's the same for everyone else. Unless it's their zodiac year or their tenth birthday, no one cares. Only when they can't think of an excuse to have a meal together will everyone pick out those who have a birthday recently and say they want to celebrate their birthday, and then the family will have a meal together.
But if someone specifically remembers it, there will be some differences.
"This is my first time celebrating your birthday with you, this year is different. Come blow out the candles...wait a minute." Shen Baichuan blocked her forehead, pushed her away, and said, "You haven't made a wish yet."
"......Okay, you light it again and I'll try again." Chen Jin didn't say that this thing is not accurate for making wishes. Anyway, none of the wishes she made on her birthday had come true. But she still honestly made a wish again seriously, with an empty mind, and just wished that her result in this sports meet would improve by one place.
"alright!"
They both had lunch and ate quite a lot. Now they only cut a small piece to eat. Chen Jin nodded as he ate, "Delicious!"
Most of the remaining food definitely could not be finished, so Chen Jin said he would give it to his colleagues in the afternoon.
Chen Jin was so full that he walked back and forth in the room to digest the food. He yawned while watching TV and blinked out tears. I didn't go home at noon. I fell asleep while chatting with Shen Baichuan on the sofa.
Shen Baichuan glanced at the person who was holding his arm and leaning his head towards him. The sleeping Chen Jin looked particularly well-behaved. When he looked closer, he found that Chen Jin's eyelashes were very long, like a small fan.
His breathing inexplicably became tense, and he finally looked away. Just as he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he found that Daju was lying on the coffee table in front of him, staring at him fiercely, as if he was about to rush over.
As soon as he laid Chen Jin flat on the sofa, Daju jumped up and lay beside Chen Jin to guard him.
Shen Baichuan squatted down and looked at Daju, and whispered: “You make it seem like I’m a bad guy.”
The one who responded to him was Daju's back of the head, with one of Daju's paws still on Chen Jin's arm.
When going out in the afternoon, Chen Jin put on his shoes, and Shen Baichuan was still sitting on the shoe stool next to him putting on his shoes. Chen Jin thought of what happened in the morning, took a step forward, and cast a shadow in front of Shen Baichuan, "What..."?
Shen Baichuan only felt Chen Jin's two hands falling on his face, and then his lips softened. He opened his eyes wide and saw the distinct eyelashes under Chen Jin's half-closed eyes, and a strand of hair gently swept down. He subconsciously closed his eyes.
Feeling the touch on his lips disappear, he opened his mouth to call her, but his hands were faster than his brain and he grabbed the person who was about to escape again. Then she panicked for a moment, but her rationality returned instantly. She chuckled and said, "You always run away after doing something bad. Can you be more confident? I won't say anything to you."
Since he said so, Chen Jin said confidently: "I know, I won't run next time. Don't pull me, I will be late for work later... Um..."
After a while, Chen Jin was still sitting on Shen Baichuan's lap, being hugged tightly. He sighed, patted Shen Baichuan on the back, and said, "You kissed me back, and you hugged me for so long, is that enough? I'm really going to be late later, and I have to go to a meeting with students in the afternoon."
If you don't let go, you'll be strangled to death.
It took Shen Baichuan a long time to calm down his excitement, and when he let her go, he couldn’t help but pinch her cheek, but in the end he said nothing. She was the most confident. She was the one who caused the trouble and didn't care whether he lived or died.
Chen Jin felt that Shen Baichuan's eyes could burn people to death, so he didn't dare to act like a demon anymore. He quickly stood up, and then waited for him to put on his shoes before he secretly breathed a sigh of relief and sneaked home with Daju.
While jogging, he muttered, "Why do we two look like thieves?"
Chen brought cakes to everyone this afternoon, but didn't mention that today was his birthday. Vice President Sun came to see Zhou Ding and happened to catch up with him, so he also took a small piece of cake away.
I went to night school in the evening. Before class, Wei Hongqi said that he wanted to go to the company to discuss something with her this weekend.
Chen Jin said without hesitation, "I have arranged things for this weekend. The affairs of Baiyou Clothing have been handed over to Director Geng, and the same applies to you, Sister Wei. The last time you visited the company, it was our Director Geng who introduced the situation to you."
Wei Hongqi didn't force it and said, "I know Director Geng, so I'll make an appointment with her to talk. I was thinking of talking to you first."
"It's all the same. I have plans this week and can't get away." I have to have dinner with Ling Yun on Saturday and go to my uncle's house for dinner on Sunday. I have a lot to do. As for the company's affairs, having two factory managers is enough, otherwise why would she spend so much money to recruit people?
"It's more comfortable like you. Less hassle." Wei Hongqi really envied Chen Jin's state. When he thought about when he was in his early twenties, he was still working hard in the wind and rain to earn a fortune bit by bit.
She asked around and found out that Chen Jin made his fortune by relying on the demolition of his home.
Although she got the initial capital through luck, unlike those of them who earned their money with their own hands, she did not look down on others. At this age, he lives a stable life with a large sum of demolition compensation and even wants to start a company. He has not squandered the money lavishly, which is better than many people.
The main reason is that Chen Jin is an interesting person. When you interact with her, she is very open and honest, and she won't be arrogant just because she has made some achievements. Come to think of it, everyone is quite curious about her. In this class, she is the only one who has attended college and graduated from Nanjing University. No one expected that she would come to attend night school. Everyone couldn't understand it.
Last time, eight people from the class went to visit Chen Jin's company, and someone asked her why she wanted to attend night school.
Chen Jin said that if you don’t understand something, you should learn more. It doesn’t matter which school you go to, the key is to learn something. Just these words doubled everyone's liking for her.
Although he is young, he is quite insightful and can chat with these older brothers and sisters who are quite a bit older than him.
Chen Jin smiled and waved his hands, "Each has its own advantages. Don't think that I am very worry-free, I have also lost a lot of things."
"Oh, what was lost?" Not only Wei Hongqi was curious, but the people around him also looked over. Everyone is thinking: Are they afraid that someone will control the company in the future?
"I have lost a lot of worries." Chen Jin said seriously.
"......" The small classroom was silent for a long time. I didn't know who laughed first, and then there was a burst of muffled laughter. If you save yourself from worry, doesn’t that mean you get rid of a lot of troubles? !
Chen Jin chatted with these older brothers and sisters, and did not forget to find opportunities to recommend students from his school, "Come on, everyone. You have made your companies and factories bigger and stronger. Please take care of our school's students in the future."
Professor Qi came in with a textbook and heard what Chen Jin said. He couldn't help but smile and nodded at her, and also joked: "Are you here to learn the course, or are you taking the opportunity to recommend your students?"
“All of them, haha.”
Wei Hongqi laughed as well, and then said, "You seem to be in a good mood today. Are you going to expand again, Baiyou?"
"No, no, how is that possible. I was thinking that it would be best if I could open stores all over Southern Province, but I can't eat up Big Fatty in one bite, so the expansion can't be that fast." Chen Jin touched his face and thought, am I so obviously happy today?
It was indeed very obvious. When she met her third cousin after class, he asked her if she had won the lottery, with a sly smile on his face.
No, why would you smile so slyly after winning the lottery? !
During the next two days of the sports meet, Chen Jin brought a camera with him. Apart from the two events he participated in, he spent the rest of the time running around the field taking pictures for everyone.
The teachers in her own college all looked pale when they saw her. They gently reminded her not to waste film and even urged her to take pictures of her opponents. Even though Chen Jin said that her photography skills had improved greatly, the teachers still shook their heads violently.
Professor Jiang Chaosheng was the happiest. "Go take some photos of your teacher Zhang for me, and I'll print more for him. And that guy..."
When Chen Jin ran to take a photo of Shen Baichuan, Shen Baichuan asked her: "Are your teachers waiting for you to take photos of them?"
"Well, that's about it." Chen Jin looked down at the camera in his hand and fiddled with it for a while, but in fact he didn't adjust anything. He patted Shen Baichuan’s hand and said, “Come on later.”
Chen Jin ran away after she finished speaking. She was afraid that the students would make a fuss, which would be so embarrassing.
However, Shen Baichuan should be considered good, because no one will shout “Come on, Brother Haoche” anyway. Just like last year, she signed up for shot put and standing long jump. When it was her turn to compete, a bunch of her students nearby shouted "Come on, rich sister", which made her eyes darken.
The good news is that her ranking in this year's competition has improved. She made it to the finals in both events. Although she didn't win a prize, at this rate of improvement, she should be able to win a prize next year.
After the photo shoot, Chen Jin said he would give him a surprise after the photos were developed.
Shen Baichuan wiped his sweat while looking at her steadily, “Are you trying to scare me?”
He had no doubts before today, but just now, he was not particularly sure.
No wonder they can get together. Sometimes they have a tacit understanding with each other. Seeing Chen Jin looking down at his phone without saying anything, Shen Baichuan knew something was wrong.
But Chen Jin quickly changed the subject and said, "I'll pick up Ling Yun tomorrow and go to Juchun Garden in the evening. Well, you can go there in the evening."
The photos have been taken, time cannot be turned back, and they cannot be saved.
"Don't you want me to go with you during the day?"
"No, we still have to talk in private if you're with us." Chen Jin told him to follow, "Hurry up, hurry up, there are too many people here, and if the students see us, they'll make a scene."
Shen Baichuan followed her slowly and said with a smile: "Are you afraid that they will start to call you rich sister? Do all the students you teach call you that?"
"Not really. When you ask me for help, you still call me Teacher Chen."
The two of them stayed away from the stadium and it was rare for them to walk around the school together. Walking on the long school road, neither of them wanted to talk much. When they were tired, they sat on the stone benches in the campus. They could still hear the cheers coming from the stadium and the words of encouragement on the radio.
“This love affair…” Everyone feels younger, as if they have returned to their school days.
Before he finished speaking, Chen Jin quickly pushed Shen Baichuan and said excitedly: “Look, there’s excitement!”
Shen Baichuan, who was looking down for water in the bag, immediately gave up searching and followed Chen Jin's line of sight. He raised his eyebrows in surprise. Isn't this the man that Chen Jin had dated? !
"Cheating?"
"Tsk tsk, now this situation is called cheating, which is much more serious than cheating. How interesting."
"Yeah, interesting."
