It was already 2:30 in the afternoon when Zhou Yu picked up Qiao Meng.

This time is the hottest period of the day. Even though Zhou Yu was standing in the cool waiting hall of Ruxu South Station, he could still feel the heat waves.

But the wait was worth it. When Zhou Yu saw Qiao Meng dragging the suitcase towards him, he suddenly felt as refreshed as if he had drunk a glass of iced cola.

"Are you impatient? I told you not to come too early, why did you come so early?"

After approaching, Qiao Meng saw beads of sweat oozing from Zhou Yu's forehead and couldn't help but feel a little distressed for her boyfriend. "It's so hot today. I told you that I would arrive around 2:30. I asked you to arrive at the station around 2:20. Even if I come early, I can wait for a while. You... Forget it, tell me honestly, when did you arrive?!"

"It won't be long, let's go, why are you asking so many questions!"

Zhou Yu said this casually and wanted to take the suitcase from Qiao Meng and lead her out of the station. However, seeing that Qiao Meng was about to fight, Zhou Yu could only explain to her, "I haven't been here for long, just... I arrived at two o'clock!"

Qiao Meng was almost laughing at Zhou Yu. She patted Zhou Yu lightly and complained, "I told you not to come so early, but you always do this and don't listen to me!"

Although she complained about Zhou Yu, Qiao Meng, who felt sorry for Zhou Yu, honestly took out a pack of tissues from her bag. After taking out a tissue, she hurriedly helped Zhou Yu wipe the sweat from his forehead.

After enjoying the wiping from Qiao Meng, Zhou Yu took over the suitcase behind Qiao Meng and said nonchalantly as he walked out of the station, "I just want to see you earlier~~Besides, it's not very hot today!"

But just as he finished speaking, Zhou Yu, who was dragging his suitcase and walking out of the station with Qiao Meng, was hit by a wave of heat and couldn't even speak clearly. Qiao Meng, who was standing next to him, noticed it and couldn't help but chuckle.

Although Qiao Meng laughed very quietly, Zhou Yu still heard it. However, Zhou Yu was thick-skinned and pretended not to hear it. He took Qiao Meng to the roadside, hailed a taxi, told the driver the destination, and drove off in the direction of Ruxu No. 2 Middle School.

After getting in the taxi, not only did they not have to endure the scorching sun, but they also had air conditioning, which made Zhou Yu and Xiao Qiao breathe a sigh of relief.

"Resume for a while when you get back. I'll take you to Principal Li to complete your employment formalities!" Zhou Yu looked at the passing street outside the window, glanced at Xiao Qiao who was leaning on her shoulder and was drowsy, and said, "After that, come back to my place to take a shower and have a good sleep. You've been sweating so much and you must be tired after sitting in the car all day!"

Hearing her boyfriend's question, Qiao Meng didn't even open her eyes. She closed her eyes and rested while answering softly, "I didn't sweat much, but I felt very tired just sitting in the car. It was okay on the train, I could stand up and walk from time to time, but the journey from Luzhou to Ruxu, I had to sit in a chair the whole time, and I couldn't go anywhere, it was a bit too tiring."

Hearing his girlfriend's words, Zhou Yu couldn't help but feel distressed. "Then you can go back to the dormitory and rest later. As for the job application, give me the application materials and I'll give them to Principal Li. Then tell him that you are not feeling well. They will understand and won't say anything more."

Qiao Meng didn't speak immediately, but just patted Zhou Yu lightly, "What nonsense are you talking about? How can you help me get the materials for this kind of thing? It's a bit disrespectful to others. I'm not that tired yet. It's not too late to rest after I'm done."

"Are you really okay?" Zhou Yu confirmed that Xiao Qiao was fine after receiving a positive answer, and then continued, "Principal Wang and Principal Li of the school told me that they are going to invite us to have a meal together, as a welcome party for you. After you go back and finish the documents, you should go to sleep first. I will call you for dinner tonight!"

...

...

After walking along that road that they had walked who knows how many times, Zhou Yu and Xiao Qiao quickly returned to their dormitory at Ruxu No. 2 Middle School.

After putting down the luggage, Qiao Meng opened the suitcase. She did not listen to Zhou Yu's advice to rest for a while, but directly found the employment materials that had been prepared long ago, and prepared to go out, and went to the administrative building with Zhou Yu to Li Jianping's office.

As soon as he entered the office, Li Jianping noticed the visitor.

Before Zhou Yu could speak, Li Jianping stood up and greeted Zhou Yu and Qiao Meng eagerly, "Oh, I've been looking forward to it for the entire summer vacation. Principal Wang and I have talked to Teacher Zhou countless times. We've both been waiting for you for so long that you're finally here, Teacher Qiao!"

Seeing Li Jianping so eager, Qiao Meng had no choice but to respond, so she forced herself to smile and said, "I've been thinking about signing up for No. 2 Middle School for a long time, but I'll be in Ruxu in the future, and I won't be able to go back to Xiangcheng for a long time, so I just wanted to stay at home and spend more time with my parents and Zhou Yu's parents."

"That's natural, that's natural, it's human nature! It's understandable, I thought so when I first started working!" Li Jianping looked as if it was a matter of course.

After chatting for a few more sentences, Li Jianping saw that Qiao Meng looked listless and knew that Qiao Meng must be very tired after sitting in the car for a whole day and urgently needed to rest. So he did not waste any more time and directly told Zhou Yu, "Teacher Zhou, look at what you have done! Teacher Qiao Meng is so tired, and you still let her come in person to handle the entry procedures?!"

After that, Li Jianping looked at Qiao Meng with a friendly expression, "Teacher Qiao, you must be tired after sitting in the car all the way, right?! Oh, but you can't blame Teacher Zhou, it's our fault for being careless and hasty, and not thoughtful enough! Hurry up, give me these employment materials, and then you and Teacher Zhou can go back and have a rest! We will take care of the rest!"

"By the way, next time you have anything, just give us a call and we will make sure to arrange it for you properly!" Or you can ask Teacher Zhou to contact us directly. Now that you are in No. 2 Middle School, don't be so formal with us!

"I said something to Teacher Zhou before, and I'll say it to you again! Don't ever think that you don't need to bother us with anything! What we hope to see most is that no matter what happens, you think of contacting us first to help you deal with it!"

Seeing Li Jianping's sincere expression, Qiao Meng looked at Zhou Yu again. After seeing Zhou Yu nodded slightly, Qiao Meng nodded gently and said to Li Jianping, "Then... Principal Li, thank you for your help!"

Li Jianping's smile widened when he saw Qiao Meng's expression. He took the employment materials from Qiao Meng and said, "It's no trouble. Our role is to serve the students and teachers like you! By the way, Teacher Qiao, Teacher Zhou should have told you, right? We have arranged a dinner party tonight. The principal and we are going to welcome you."

After seeing Qiao Meng nod in confirmation, Li Jianping closed the materials in his hand, looked at Zhou Yu and Qiao Meng kindly and said, "Then let me go and help Teacher Qiao with the onboarding. Teacher Zhou, you take Teacher Qiao back to rest first, and we'll meet in the evening?"
