Chapter 129 First Day of School
Monday, the ninth day of the Lunar New Year.
It was also the first day of school.
In the morning, Shi Yuanxing still personally drove his wife to work.
His SUV was sent for maintenance, and today he was driving a black Maybach. Because it was the first day of school and there were many people, Qin Shuzhi asked him to park a little further away and get out of the car.
Before getting out of the car, Shi Yuanxing leaned in and kissed her forehead, "I wish Teacher Qin a smooth start to her work."
Qin Shuzhi smiled sweetly, "Thank you, Mr. Shi."
Shi Yuanxing gently patted her head. "I'll pick you up after school this afternoon."
"good."
After Qin Shuzhi got out of the car, she was walking towards the school gate when a slender figure that looked somewhat familiar flashed by. By the time she tried to get a clear look, the person had already entered the school gate.
Good morning, Teacher Qin.
Lin Yuke's round, smiling face appeared in front of Qin Shuzhi, blocking his view.
Good morning, Teacher Lin.
Qin Shuzhi greeted her with a smile.
The two walked together toward the school gate.
"Our class will have a new math teacher this semester."
Lin Yuke sighed and said, "My class was already weak in math, and now that we've suddenly changed teachers, I don't know if the students will be able to adapt."
Ms. Xiao, who was originally in charge of math for both of their classes, resigned at the end of last semester due to illness.
Therefore, their class will have a new math teacher this semester.
Qin Shuzhi was also a little worried that her students wouldn't adapt, but seeing Lin Yuke so troubled, she could only offer comfort and encouragement.
"Perhaps changing teachers will actually help to capture the students' attention, so it might not be a bad thing."
"I hope so."
The two talked as they walked toward the teaching building.
As Qin Shuzhi entered the office, she was still talking to Lin Yuke when Director Liu's voice came from the front.
"Teacher Qin, Teacher Lin, you've come at the perfect time. Let me introduce you to your new math teachers."
Qin Shuzhi looked in the direction of the voice and saw a young woman standing next to Director Liu. She was dressed in a white suit, looked refined, and wore thick-lensed glasses.
"Sang Ning?"
Qin Shuzhi looked at the other person and spoke in surprise.
When Sang Ning saw her, his eyes behind his glasses lit up for a moment, “…Shuzhi.”
"You're the new math teacher?"
Sang Ning raised her hand to push up her glasses and nodded, "Yes."
Director Liu looked at the two of them and asked, "Do you know each other?"
"Yes, we've known each other for a long time."
Qin Shuzhi spent three months as an exchange student in Hong Kong during her university years. Sang Ning was also an exchange student from another university at that time.
Upon their arrival, neither of them was familiar with the environment of the Hong Kong school. They helped each other in their studies and thus formed a revolutionary friendship.
A month passed, and just as Qin Shuzhi was happy that she had made a like-minded friend on this trip, Sang Ning suddenly ended the exchange trip for personal reasons and left Hong Kong.
Qin Shuzhi only found out the day after she left.
At the time, both of them were using temporary Hong Kong phone numbers to contact each other. Sang Ning left in a hurry, and they lost contact.
Unexpectedly, several years later, they met again as colleagues.
Qin Shuzhi stepped forward and gave Sang Ning a sincere smile, "Sang Ning, welcome."
A smile appeared on Sang Ning's refined, fair face. "Thank you."
"Since you're acquaintances, that's even better. It will make your work together more smoothly in the future."
Director Liu looked at Sang Ning and said, "Teacher Sang, this Teacher Qin is the homeroom teacher and English teacher of Class 3, and that is Teacher Lin, the homeroom teacher and Chinese teacher of Class 2."
Sang Ning nodded to Lin Yuke and said, "Hello, Teacher Lin."
Lin Yuke: "Welcome, Teacher Sang."
Turning her head, Lin Yuke happily whispered to Qin Shuzhi, "Teacher Sang is so refined and beautiful. If she were to teach math, those dull and complicated numbers would probably come alive a lot more."
Because it was the first day of school, Qin Shuzhi was busy with class matters and didn't have time to talk to Sang Ning until school ended at noon.
"Sang Ning, come on, I'll take you to the cafeteria." Qin Shuzhi walked to Sang Ning's desk and said, "After we eat, I'll show you around the school."
Sang Ning: "Okay, thank you."
Qin Shuzhi then looked at Lin Yuke beside her and said, "Teacher Lin, let's go have dinner together."
Lin Yuke, who was drinking water from her thermos, swallowed the water and waved her hand, saying, "You two go ahead, I have to go out for lunch and won't eat at school."
Lin Yuke put down her water glass and winked at the two of them, "I'll bring you milk tea when I come back."
Sang Ning quickly and politely declined, "No need to be so polite, Teacher Lin..."
"Consider it a welcome to our teaching staff." Lin Yuke picked up her bag and walked out. "I'm in a hurry, I'll be going now, see you later."
Sang Ning's mouth was still slightly open, but the words she wanted to say were choked back.
Qin Shuzhi smiled and said, "Teacher Lin is very easy to get along with. You'll see later."
Sang Ning was still the same as when she was in college, wearing thick-lensed glasses and looking quiet and refined.
Qin Shuzhi took her hand and said, "Let's go eat."
On the way to the cafeteria, Qin Shuzhi asked, "Why did you suddenly end your exchange program in Hong Kong?"
Upon hearing this, Sang Ning paused for a moment and said in a low voice, "My grandfather fell ill at the time, and I had to go back to take care of him."
"Oh, I see." Qin Shuzhi hadn't expected this reason. "So, your grandfather was alright afterward, right?"
He passed away two years ago.
Qin Shuzhi paused, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to bring it up."
"It's alright, it's all in the past." Sang Ning smiled gently at her.
After the two finished eating in the cafeteria, Qin Shuzhi took advantage of the lunch break to chat with her and introduce the school.
During this time, when Mr. Shi sent her a message, she happily told him that her new math teacher was an acquaintance or friend of hers.
In the afternoon, Lin Yuke indeed brought them back milk tea.
An afternoon with milk tea was quite enjoyable.
Before I knew it, it was time to leave work.
It was already past six o'clock when Qin Shuzhi walked out of the school gate.
When Li Yuan saw Shi Yuanxing standing next to the black Maybach waiting for her, she smiled and quickly walked over.
As she approached, Shi Yuanxing reached out and smoothed her long hair, which was ruffled by the wind. "Are you tired?"
"The first day of school wasn't tiring."
"Come on, let's go home and I'll cook you something delicious."
"Uh-huh."
Qin Shuzhi agreed, and was about to say something when a voice suddenly came from behind him.
"Book knowledge".
Qin Shuzhi turned around and saw that it was Sang Ning walking over.
"Hey, didn't I just see Director Liu talking to you? Did you finish talking so quickly?"
"Well, he just asked me if I was used to the environment, and didn't say anything else."
As Sang Ning spoke, she glanced at Shi Yuanxing, who was standing next to Qin Shuzhi.
Qin Shuzhi immediately introduced, "Oh, let me introduce you, this is my husband, his surname is Shi."
“Honey, she’s our new math teacher, and also a friend of mine from college, Sang Ning.”
Shi Yuanxing nodded politely, "Hello, Teacher Sang."
"Hello, Mr. Shi."
Sang Ning nodded to him, then glanced at the black Maybach behind him.
"Um... Shuzhi, thank you for taking care of me all day. I... I'll treat you to dinner tonight."
After she finished speaking, she took Qin Shuzhi's hand, as if afraid that she would refuse.
