Jiang Li, with a wicked grin, leaned close to Lin Yue's ear and whispered, "Yue-zai, you haven't been back to school for a month, so you missed a huge piece of gossip!"
"Hmm? Tell me about it."
"Teacher Tang is getting married! Did you know?"
Lin Yue shook her head. "I don't know. Who is the bride? Which fairy is so amazing that she managed to win over the most handsome male teacher at B University?"
Jiang Li told Lin Yue everything she knew, and almost all the teachers and students in the school were aware of this matter.
Lin Yue couldn't help but sigh, "If you walk by the river often, you're bound to get your shoes wet."
Tang Shiting, by day, is like a gentle and refined gentleman, a respected teacher, but by night, he is like a wild beast that has shed its disguise, revealing his playful nature.
This time, they really stumbled badly, got carried away, and ended up killing someone in their mess with the new teacher, Mr. Jiang.
This teacher, Ms. Jiang, is a graduate of our school. Back when she was a student, she secretly harbored feelings for Tang Shiting! Since becoming colleagues, she has been even more attentive to him. Both of them are unmarried, and their feelings are naturally intense…
After class, on the way from the teaching building to the school gate, thinking about the gossip Jiang Li had mentioned, Lin Yue couldn't help but feel a little emotional. She wasn't emotional about Teacher Tang getting married, but rather about how she hadn't expected Teacher Tang to be so promiscuous in private. She wondered if Song Yunzheng, who was quite close to him, had also been quite promiscuous before he met her.
Lin Yue remained puzzled; she knew she had to ask him about it when she got home!
Two crisp beeping sounds pulled Lin Yue back to reality.
Song Yunzheng's car was already waiting at the school gate. It was a long-awaited scene. Lin Yue didn't expect him to come to pick her up today, and so early. She ran happily over and opened the passenger door to see Tang Shiting in the back seat.
She paused for two seconds, then quickly sat down, turned around, and greeted with a smile, "Hello, Teacher Tang..."
At this moment, Tang Shiting looked haggard, like an autumn leaf battered by frost. He forced a smile and said, "Hello, little Lin Yue."
Uh, isn't good news on the way? Why does this expression look more like she's about to get a divorce than getting married?
"How was class today?" Song Yunzheng asked with a smile as he skillfully turned the steering wheel. "And have you told everyone about treating them to dinner on Saturday?"
"It's fine, I don't think there's a big problem. As long as I spend some time reviewing, I'll catch up quickly. I also mentioned the meal arrangement, and my classmates were very excited. They were all very enthusiastic, not only lending me their notes but also asking me if I needed any help, which has never happened before."
Upon hearing this, Song Yunzheng's smile widened, and he joked, "I forgot my wife is a top student."
He then added, “School is a microcosm of society, so you don’t need to feel a sense of loss. When you’re riding high, everyone around you will try to curry favor with you, including some unscrupulous people. But you don’t need to compete with these petty people, or you’ll only ruin your important plans.”
Lin Yue was completely bewildered. Why was the old man suddenly acting like a nagging monk? Was he really saying this to her?
She glanced furtively at the back seat of the car. "Hehe...Teacher Tang...Are you getting married?"
Tang Shiting slightly raised his eyes, glanced at her, and replied in a muffled voice, "Mm." Then he turned his head back to look out the car window.
Song Yunzheng glanced at Tang Shiting's worried face in the rearview mirror and couldn't help but shake his head, revealing a hint of sympathy.
"Honey, where are we going?"
"I'll take you out to eat, and also keep Teacher Tang company to help her relieve her boredom."
"oh oh."
Song Yunzheng found a quiet restaurant for lunch. After getting off the car, he went straight to the private room. Before going in, Lin Yue suddenly grabbed his arm. "Honey, with me here, will it be inconvenient for you and Teacher Tang to talk?"
"No." His answer was brief and firm, and then he led her inside.
After all the dishes were served, the three of them ate and chatted. Lin Yue munched on a chicken leg while listening intently to their lively conversation, which was far more exciting than any TV drama. She listened with great interest.
It turned out that Jiang Li was right; Teacher Jiang was indeed pregnant with Teacher Tang's child, and he had no choice but to marry her because of the pregnancy.
Tang Shiting picked up his wine cup and gulped down a large mouthful as if drinking from a cow, his face full of dejection and helplessness.
“I really, really didn’t want to get married! I was completely drunk that day, and when I woke up, she was lying next to me. I have no recollection of what happened in between. What’s worse, her whole family are treacherous and despicable people. I was clearly framed by them!”
Song Yunzheng gently patted his shoulder, "If you're afraid of raising someone else's child, then get a paternity test done. You can do it while the baby is still in your belly."
"I'd like to, but they don't want to!"
"Then let's talk about marriage after the baby is born. As for the other party's family, just ignore them. You're not going to live with them anyway."
Lin Yue put down the chicken leg and retorted softly, "Honey, I think there's something you're wrong about. Dating is a matter between two people, but marriage is definitely a matter between two families."
Song Yunzheng pulled out a tissue and wiped the grease off her mouth, smiling as he said, "How old are you? Focus on eating."
Lin Yue put down her chopsticks, her expression serious, and said righteously, "I'm right. If that child really is yours, you got her daughter pregnant. It's already a miracle that her father didn't beat you. Naturally, he would try his best to secure more benefits for his daughter. He's raised her for so many years, how could he just give her away for nothing?"
