Teacher Kang laughed. "You were in the top dozens in the province on the college entrance exam, and you forgot that? Those six hundred-plus yuan notes have both small and large coins, and each note is perfectly even. I'm guessing it's money you normally wouldn't spend."
Wen Ying didn’t know that Teacher Kang had such a good memory!
Teacher Kang is not Teacher Liang, so Wen Ying couldn't use her "amnesia technique" and could only accept Teacher Kang's compliment with a blushing face.
Xie Qian was not surprised, "This is indeed what Wen Ying would do."
"So, Xiao Xie, you have really good taste! You're so good-looking, there must be a lot of girls who like you. Wen Ying may not be the prettiest one in the group, but you can always be assured when dating her—she'll donate all her pocket money to strangers. How sincere is she to her boyfriend!"
Teacher Kang consciously assumed the identity of Wen Ying's family and spared no effort to praise her in front of Xie Qian.
Xie Qian was no longer able to say anything.
He always knew he had chosen the right person.
He knew better than anyone how good Wen Ying was.
——So Hamster actually doubted that he wouldn't like her before the summer of 2004? How is that possible!
"I'm a lucky person."
Xie Qian's heart softened as he corrected Teacher Kang's words, "It's not that I have good taste, it's that I was lucky enough to meet Wen Ying so early. Fortunately, she was so focused on her studies at that time that she had no time for love and I couldn't tell how many people liked her. That's why I was able to get the upper hand. If I had met her a year or two later, I might not have had a chance."
The two of them laughed and joked in private. Xie Qian could tease Wen Ying for being "persistent" with him, but in front of Teacher Kang and Song Shao, Xie Qian would definitely give Wen Ying enough face.
Besides, Xie Qian was not lying, he really thought so.
Not to mention the distant past, there are already many people in Aurora who are secretly hoping that Xie Qian and Wen Ying will break up... Ha, dream on!
Teacher Kang laughed even louder: "I understand, you two are going in both directions."
Song Shao didn't say much during the meal, and only responded when Teacher Kang mentioned his name.
Song Shao could see that Xie Qian particularly wanted to know about Wen Ying's past.
Teacher Kang is right, this is truly a two-way journey!
After dinner, Teacher Kang suggested that Wen Ying take Xie Qian around the school.
"The desks in your class haven't been changed. Can you still find your seat if you go there?"
Xie Qian was indeed very interested, so Wen Ying followed Teacher Kang's advice.
After watching the two of them leave, Teacher Kang asked Song Shao, "You're so quiet today, why?"
"Because I'm not the protagonist today."
Song Shao was calm and didn't seem anxious at all.
Teacher Kang whispered, "That year, when Wen Ying was donating, she secretly donated all her pocket money. Then you came to me and said you wanted to help that student contact a doctor in the provincial capital... Wen Ying is a very good person, and so are you."
Teacher Kang felt that Xie Qian was very noble and guessed that Xie Qian came from an extraordinary family.
Song Shao actually has a good family background, but he never showed it before.
In his second year of junior high school, Song Shao found Teacher Kang and said that he could help a classmate in the next class who had bone cancer contact a doctor in the provincial capital. Teacher Kang then learned that Song Shao's mother was a great expert at the Provincial People's Hospital!
Song Shao did this without asking for anyone's gratitude. He did not show up from beginning to end and let Teacher Kang receive the gratitude from his classmates' parents.
When Teacher Kang brought up the past, Song Shao's face showed regret: "It's a pity that the classmate went to the provincial capital and couldn't be saved."
"This regret cannot be solved by human power."
Teacher Kang comforted Song Shao, "You didn't save that classmate, but you saved others, such as Yue Shanni."
Teacher Kang was really happy.
No matter whether you are an excellent student or not so excellent, if everyone can become a better version of themselves, the profession of teacher will become particularly meaningful!
…
Wen Ying took Xie Qian to the school.
The big iron gate hasn't changed at all and still looks the same as before.
There is a particularly large sycamore tree at the school gate. It is winter now, and the tree has lost all its leaves, but its branches are still beautiful.
"We would wait at the door for the restaurant owners to bring us food – fried rice, spicy hot pot, fried potatoes – everything. Every noon, the big sycamore tree would be filled with students. Sometimes, when we got bored waiting for too long, I would secretly pick the bark off the tree."
Xie Qian followed Wen Ying's gaze.
The description of peeling the bark was too vivid, and he always felt that the tree was a little bald.
Past this slightly bare sycamore tree, there is an old-fashioned flower bed covered with small tiles. The flower bed is very long, stretching from the school gate all the way to the teaching building.
Wen Ying couldn't help but quicken her pace, "The first row of houses is our classroom."
The students are not at home during the winter vacation, so the classroom doors are naturally closed.
Wen Ying leaned over the window and looked inside. Xie Qian followed her and asked, "Where are you sitting?"
"I'll sit in the third row."
"Where's Song Shao?"
"He originally sat in the first row, but later asked the teacher to move him to the last row. The classmates all respected Song Shao. As the class monitor, he couldn't hear the students behind him talking from the first row. When he moved to the last row, the class discipline improved immediately."
Wen Ying expressed her admiration for Song Shao's leadership.
She might not have this ability even after rebirth, but Song Shao had it when he was just a teenager!
Xie Qian tried pushing the classroom door, but there was no movement at the front door, and the back door actually opened.
"Go in and take a look?"
Wen Ying readily agreed to Xie Qian's proposal.
She took Xie Qian to find her old seat. Teacher Kang was right. The desks in the school had never been changed. Wen Ying's old desk was still placed on her old seat!
“It’s amazing.”
Xie Qian asked her to sit down and feel it, and he sat next to her.
Wen Ying turned her head and saw that the junior high school desk and chair were a bit too tight for Xie Qian's long legs given his current height, but he still sat upright.
He placed his beautiful, slender fingers on the desk and closed his eyes very comfortably.
Wen Ying imitated Xie Qian's sitting posture.
It was very strange. Although she was sitting very straight, she felt very relaxed in her heart.
For a moment, she seemed to be back in junior high school, and Xie Qian became her junior high school deskmate.
He was so dazzling, and a little light coming from him was enough to warm her who was full of darkness.
