On Monday, as soon as Lin Sitian arrived at school, the study committee member called her.

"Lin Sitian, Teacher Zhao is looking for you."

Lin Sitian had a bad feeling when she was called to the teacher's office before the morning reading started.

With Zhou Sheng's supervision and help with her tutoring, her academic performance has been improving recently and she rarely makes mischief in class. Logically, there is nothing to be afraid of, but she really can't think of anything that would cause her to be invited for tea by the head teacher, and she was full of random thoughts all the way to the office.

When they arrived at the office door, the teacher was holding a thermos cup and chatting with the teacher at the next desk. Lin Sitian stood behind him in fear and timidly said, "Teacher, are you looking for me?"

The teacher turned around and said, "Oh, you're here. Wait a moment."

Lin Sitian didn't know what the head teacher was waiting for. He didn't seem to be preparing anything. He chatted with the teacher next door for a few more words and then turned around to look Lin Sitian up and down.

"Lin Sitian, how are you doing recently?"

This was a very broad question, and Lin Sitian was a little confused.

"Uh... pretty good?"

“Are you stressed about studying?”

That has always been the case, right? Lin Sitian thought for a moment and said, "It's OK during this period."

"I looked at your midterm results. You have improved by 17 places in the class." The teacher took another sip of tea and screwed the lid on. "It does look different from before. This is a good change. Not bad."

Lin Sitian was a little uncomfortable with being praised all of a sudden, but she still had to accept the compliments. She smiled and said, "Thank you, teacher."

Then the teacher changed the subject and asked, "Did Zhou Sheng help you a lot?"

In fact, this question is not abrupt, but Lin Sitian suddenly remembered the conversation between her and Zhou Sheng. She was a little worried. If the answer was yes, did Zhou Sheng's role have been fulfilled and he could retire? If the answer was no, then Zhou Sheng and her deskmate seemed to have no effect... Lin Sitian was not sure which answer would keep Zhou Sheng.

The point is, if she just wanted to ask Zhou Sheng about tutoring her, there was no need to call him to the office early on Monday morning, right?

While she was still hesitating about how to answer, someone approached from behind.

"teacher."

Lin Sitian suddenly panicked. It was Zhou Sheng's voice.

What was going on? Why were they both called in again? Was the teacher really planning to change his position again?

"Lao Zhao, I'm going to my class first." The teacher next door greeted.

"Okay, remember the class next week—"

"Oh, I remember, I remember!"

The office became quiet again. Except for a teacher who was still working at his desk in the northwest corner, there were only three of them in the huge office.

The teacher asked Zhou Sheng to stand next to Lin Sitian, and the two of them stood shoulder to shoulder in front of him.

This time, the teacher did not beat around the bush.

"Zhou Sheng, tell me the truth, are you two in a relationship?"

Lin Sitian's skull exploded with a loud bang, and her heart rate soared to 180 beats per minute, entering the high-speed death channel.

Before she could call back her soul, she heard someone next to her say -

"yes."

…

She suppressed the urge to slap herself twice to wake herself up and swallowed nervously.

Zhou Sheng, I know you are usually upright and honest, but I clearly told you that premature love will not have good results. Did you get kicked in the head by a donkey?

"When did it start?" The teacher asked, obviously finding it unbelievable.

Zhou Sheng frowned and thought about it. If they were officially together... "May 1st."

...Can you not be so honest?

Lin Sitian is going crazy.

"Isn't May 1st a holiday? Are you two still in touch during the holiday?"

"us……"

"Teacher! I was the one who called and confessed to Zhou Sheng—" Lin Sitian interrupted fiercely.

That was extremely cruel. If he was a little slower, she felt that Zhou Sheng would confess all the details of what happened that night.

It turns out that the older you are, the wiser you are. The teacher didn't even plan to ask her until Zhou Sheng came and then he threw out a set of QWER.

Zhou Sheng paused, pursed his lips, and said nothing.

The old teacher leaned back in his chair, looking between the two of them.

"You guys... I didn't take the rumors in the class seriously at first, but now you don't take me seriously anymore." The teacher raised his head and patted his forehead, letting out a long sigh, "Students should study hard, why do you have to do this and that? Can't you study hard until college and then fall in love? You're not in a hurry to reincarnate."

Lin Sitian lowered her head and said nothing. At this time, the best way to deal with it was to remain silent and accept criticism.

"teacher……"

——Just shut up. Lin Sitian prayed in her heart that Zhou Sheng would stop betraying his teammates.

"We really hadn't talked about it the day you mentioned it to us."

All the key points of Chinese reading comprehension are given up at this moment.

Besides, he just said May 1st. This explanation is completely repetitive.

"Zhou Sheng," the teacher looked at him helplessly, "You said Lin Sitian likes to play and make trouble, but why do you follow her and do the same?"

"I'm not messing around, I'm serious, teacher."

Lin Sitian patted his hand at the side with the back of her hand.

It was obvious that the head teacher was very disappointed with his child, and he was scratching the hair on his forehead until it was almost bald.

"Serious? What do you mean by serious? Your pocket money or your university diploma that you haven't got yet?" When it comes to "university diploma", the teacher seems to think that this example is not convincing when applied to Zhou Sheng, so he points the finger at Lin Sitian, "You too, you don't focus on studying. With your current grades, you won't be able to get into university and find a job. How important do you think love is?"

The standard procedure for being caught in premature love is to go through a lecture from the teacher. If it’s worse, the parents will probably be called in.

Fortunately, the teacher continued lecturing for a few minutes and did not mention calling the parents.

However, Lin Sitian, who was listening to the lecture, noticed while her mind was wandering that in the corner of the table behind her teacher, there was a folded piece of paper. The paper was folded in half, and the upper part was raised. She could vaguely make out the word "Zhou" exposed in one corner.

The teacher could ask them so directly whether they were in a premature relationship, and it was so early on a Monday morning, so it was definitely not just his own suspicion.

Lin Sitian's brain was particularly active in this regard, and it was working very quickly at this moment.

"It's time for morning reading. Anyway, I'll change your seats later, and this puppy love thing ends here."

Her heartbeat suddenly stopped and Lin Sitian stared at the tiles on the ground.

After the teacher finished his lecture, Lin Sitian pinched her fingers behind her back. In fact, when the head teacher said, "I will change your seats for both of you," her nose already started to feel sour.

She clenched her fingers so tightly that her knuckles turned white, but she just lowered her head and clenched her teeth.

What else can I say?

Teacher, please don’t transfer Zhou Sheng away, I will obey you - no one will believe it.

Teacher, I don’t want to break up with Zhou Sheng, please don’t break us up - how is that possible.

Students are students, premature love is taboo and it is a rule enforced at this age.

Even though they are only one step away from adulthood, they can only move towards the same goal, and any deviation is a thorn and can only be pruned away.

Zhou Sheng is a good student who abides by the rules very much. There is no way he would disobey his teacher.

It was not until this moment that Lin Sitian really panicked.

She and Zhou Sheng had just started their relationship, and her love for him was growing day by day. She didn't want to just rip her feelings away from herself like an appendix and pretend she didn't care and just throw them away - she couldn't either.

She could compromise. It was okay to change seats and keep a distance in school, as long as the teacher didn't tell Zhou Sheng: You can't fall in love.

Then he might really rush into the arms of learning and never come back.

Zhou Sheng...

"Teacher, why can't we fall in love too early?"

Lin Sitian suddenly raised her head, and the teacher's face showed the same shocked expression as hers.

Because this sentence was actually said by Zhou Sheng.

Zhou Sheng is the top student in the grade, has strict behavior and only focuses on studying.

"Have my grades dropped?" Zhou Sheng stood beside her. The crisp style of his school uniform made him stand straight, neither humble nor arrogant.

The old class teacher paused and told the truth, "No."

Moreover, Zhou Sheng seems to be more active during this period than before and wants to try more things.

Zhou Sheng continued to ask: "Did Lin Sitian's grades improve?"

"Seventeenth," Lin Sitian quickly raised her head and chest, "Teacher Zhao just said that I improved by seventeen places in this midterm exam."

The teacher didn't say anything, nor did he deny it.

"If I remember correctly, my total score is a little higher than before, although only a little." Zhou Sheng said, "Lin Sitian and I are in a relationship, but studying is still our top priority, and her progress is also obvious - if two people are together to make each other better, and they don't fall behind in their duties as students, why can't we fall in love early?"

"..." The old teacher was used to Zhou Sheng's obedience and had never seen this side of Zhou Sheng. What he said at this moment made it difficult for him to find a painful point to refute.

Yes, everyone knows that premature love is bad, and most of the time the reason is that premature love will affect studies, but this reason is simply untenable in the case of Zhou Sheng and Lin Sitian.

What else?

"You are still young, you can't tell right from wrong, and you are not mature enough to do things..."

"Teacher, you said we can date in college, but we will go to college after next year, and we will not have any dating experience during this period. Why can we have a mature view of love once we enter college?"

“…”

"I will make progress together with Lin Sitian. This is my promise." Zhou Sheng raised his chin slightly, his firm eyes leaving no room for doubt.

At that moment, in Lin Sitian's eyes, he looked like a young general, dressed in fine clothes, riding a horse, and full of vigor and vitality.

The boy is still a boy indeed, with the breeze and the bright moon on his shoulders and the mountains and seas in his eyes.
