During the service, Chen Zhe's hands became a little restless, but Wang Qianqian didn't push him away, probably because she was afraid he would be unhappy, and if he was unhappy, all her efforts would be in vain.
Of course, Chen Zhe didn't do anything too outrageous.
He knows the difference between a full meal and a full stomach, and if something really happened between him and Wang Qianqian, it definitely wouldn't be able to be kept secret.
He knew that Sister Hu and Sister Mei would definitely have a problem with him, and he couldn't afford to let those two leaders have a problem with him.
He suppressed his discomfort and sent Wang Qianqian back home. When Wang Qianqian returned, she repeatedly confirmed with him whether he would help her. Only after receiving a positive reply did she leave with peace of mind.
"What kind of mess is this? Sigh!"
After closing the door, Chen Zhe sighed. Many things would become troublesome once they involved women. Right now, he just wanted to focus on his career. If he got too caught up in these kinds of things, he might end up in a really bad situation.
...
Chen Zhe got up very early this morning; today was his first day at school.
Although the principal did not require him to arrive at school on time, he still strictly demanded of himself this standard.
There were only a few people in the philosophy class, with seats scattered around. The teacher was lecturing on the stage while some students were sleeping below.
Chen Zhe wondered what their original intention was in choosing this major. Was it just for convenience to come here and sleep?
The teacher seemed unfazed, continuing to lecture on stage until the time was up, without offering any guidance.
After closing the book, Chen Zhe smiled.
"It seems like I'm not learning anything in class..."
Indeed, after attending just one class, Chen Zhe knew he couldn't learn anything here. The teacher was only teaching from the textbook. If he were younger, he might have been able to accept this teaching method, but now he couldn't listen to it anymore. He needed a master teacher.
There were still classes in the afternoon, but Chen Zhe didn't want to go anymore. He lay on the lawn, covered his head with books, and basked in the sun.
"Skipping classes is not an option if I want to graduate smoothly, but I feel like I'm wasting my time if I don't skip classes. I'm torn..."
As Chen Zhe was thinking, he suddenly felt someone standing above him.
He moved the book aside, and just then a breeze blew up, causing Wu Qingli's skirt to flutter.
She blushed slightly and covered her skirt.
Why are you sleeping here?
Chen Zhe sat up; "Oh, it's you... Is there something you need?"
Don't you have a dormitory?
Wu Qingli didn't reply to him, but instead asked a question.
"I didn't want a dormitory assigned to me."
The principal did arrange a dormitory for him, but she felt it was unnecessary. He would come during the day and go back there at night, so what was the point of having a dormitory?
"So you're sleeping here in the middle of the day?"
"Is that not allowed?"
Wu Qingli pointed to the sign next to her: "Protecting the lawn is everyone's responsibility."
"Um... okay, then I'll go find a bench to sleep on."
Chen Zhe got up and was about to leave when Wu Qingli called from behind, "Come to my place, I've rented a place outside."
"Um??"
Chen Zhe was stunned for a moment.
"Don't get me wrong, it's just that your sleeping here is affecting the school's image."
"oh……"
...
Wu Qingli rented a house near the school to use as a place to rest at noon. She would come back here to sleep every day at noon. The house was not big, with only one bedroom and one living room.
The room was clean and tidy, with a large bookshelf next to the living room and a desk next to it.
Wu Qingli hung her bag on the rack.
Then I took off my shoes and changed into a pair of slippers.
“There’s a sofa over there. You can sleep there later. Sometimes when students come over, I let them sleep there too.”
"Um... a male classmate??"
Chen Zhe suddenly thought of something like forbidden love.
Wu Qingli turned around and glared at him fiercely; "Female classmate!!"
"oh……"
He put his bag aside, then walked over and lay down.
I must say, the sofa is quite soft, more comfortable than the grass.
I closed my eyes and prepared to take my afternoon nap.
Wu Qingli glanced at him a few times, hesitated for a moment, but still didn't say anything. After entering the room, she closed the door.
Although the two had a passionate encounter, they were both a bit carried away at the time, and afterwards they still felt somewhat estranged from each other.
When Wu Qingli got up, Chen Zhe was still asleep.
"Just close the door when you leave!"
She left after saying those words, still wearing her shoes.
Chen Zhe opened his eyes at this moment.
He still doesn't plan to go to school; it would be a bit foolish to rely on attending classes to earn credits.
He didn't stay there for long either.
After going downstairs, he got into Wang De's taxi and drove off.
...
The temperature was a bit high in the afternoon.
The sunlight baked through layers of heat on the asphalt road, distorting the surrounding scenery.
The sky was blue, cloudless, and there wasn't a breath of wind.
Just then, a car sped by, the friction between its rubber tires and the asphalt creating waves of heat that nearly roasted a passing squirrel.
At the foot of Qingyun Mountain.
Chen Zhe parked the car in the parking lot.
He didn't know why he suddenly wanted to come here, and looking at the Qingyun Temple on the mountaintop, he felt a faint sense of anticipation.
There aren't many people visiting Qingyun Temple at this time; I didn't see many along the way up the mountain.
After finally reaching the top of the mountain, they searched the Taoist temple both casually and deliberately, but they couldn't find Xie Yuhan anywhere, not even the old Taoist priest.
Chen Zhe couldn't hold back any longer and asked a Taoist priest.
"Oh, Master and Junior Sister have gone down the mountain. I wonder when they will be back."
"Huh? Why?"
“Master is someone who likes to travel around. He doesn’t actually spend much time here in 365 days a year. His junior sister needs to take care of him, so she’s also rarely here.”
Chen Zhe was somewhat disappointed after receiving this answer.
If only he had mustered the courage to ask Xie Yuhan for her contact information back then. Now that he's come all this way, he can't help but feel a little regretful that he didn't even get to see her.
I've experienced something like this before.
A deliberate attempt to meet can sometimes backfire. Chen Zhe didn't know if the two of them would ever meet again. He sighed softly and turned to head down the mountain.
...
After class, Wu Qingli returned home. After taking off her shoes, she found her husband, Tian Dongqiang, who was usually never home, sitting in the living room coaxing their child.
She was slightly stunned when she saw this.
When Tian Dongqiang saw her, he smiled and said, "Today is the child's birthday. I've already prepared the meal. Wash your hands and come eat with us."
"Um."
After putting down her backpack, Wu Qingli went into the kitchen to wash her hands.
The child enjoyed the meal very much, and after finishing, he started playing with his birthday present.
"Alright, alright, go to sleep now!! You have school tomorrow!"
Tian Dongqiang urged his son to go to sleep.
Wu Qingli stood up, picked up a bowl, and went to the kitchen to prepare for washing.
Just then, Tian Dongqiang hugged her from behind.
"Xiaoli, how about we... tonight?"
Wu Qingli pushed him away with some disgust.
"You should sleep in your room, I'm not feeling well."
This behavior angered Tian Dongqiang; "Why are you like this again? Tell me how many times you've rejected me? I'm a man too!!! Have you fulfilled the duties that a husband and wife should have, the obligations that a wife should fulfill?"
Wu Qingli clenched her fists tightly and stared at Tian Dongqiang without saying a word.
Next to her was a kitchen knife, and the man in front of her, the man who once said he loved her to the bone, had been keeping a mistress on the side, and now he shamelessly came over to question her.
Seeing the unfriendly look in her eyes, Tian Dongqiang was taken aback.
"Fine!!! I shouldn't have come back tonight!! I'm going out!!!"
Tian Dongqiang slammed the door and left, while Wu Qingli squatted on the ground, hugging her knees and crying.
She thought she had run out of tears, but she still felt she had overestimated herself.
...
Chen Zhe received a call from Wu Qingli right after he finished work.
Could you come out for a moment?
"This point?"
"right!"
"It's very late..."
Chen Zhe didn't want to go out.
"Where do you live? I'm coming over now!"
"What???"
...
