Chapter 140
Jiang You pushed open the door, carrying a thick stack of documents. He looked up and saw Pei Qing with her arms crossed, leaning against the wall by the window, her figure as straight as a pine tree, her gaze blankly fixed on the outside of the window.
Only when he heard the noise did he slowly turn his head, a faint smile on his lips, his voice as gentle as the afternoon breeze: "Why did it take you so long?"
The sunlight fell perfectly on his well-defined profile, highlighting his handsome features, straight nose, and thin lips. Anyone who saw him would think he was a gentle person with a wonderful personality.
Jiang You: "Teacher Wen is not in Building D. He moved to the comprehensive teaching building a few days ago, which is a bit far."
It's not just far away; if we compare it to a train, one is at the front and the other at the back.
Pei Qing knew all this, but he just asked as a matter of routine. Otherwise, it would seem strange if he didn't ask after Jiang You had been gone for so long.
Xiang Peiqing said with a troubled and embarrassed expression, "I didn't know that Teacher Wen had moved to the comprehensive teaching building, making you make an extra trip... Thank you for your trouble."
Jiang You quickly shook his head: "No, it's what I should do. Teacher Xiang, where are these materials?"
She gestured to the materials in her arms.
He maintained a polite smile towards Pei Qing, his voice quite hoarse: "Just put it on the table."
Jiang You nodded, put the materials back on the table, and sat down to continue writing his lesson plan.
Huh? Where's the lesson plan?
Xiang Peiqing sat back down and, noticing her looking around, asked softly, "What are you looking for?"
“The lesson plan is missing,” she said instinctively.
I don't know if it was just my imagination, but after she finished speaking, the way the teacher looked at her became dangerous.
Xiang Peiqing withdrew her gaze and said calmly, "I was drinking water just now, and some water spilled on the notebook, so I put it on the window to dry. It should be dry now, so you can take it back."
She looked out the window and realized that when she entered the office, Teacher Xiang wasn't looking at the scenery, but rather staring blankly at the lesson plans on the window.
"Oh, oh," she said, walking straight to the window.
Xiang Peiqing's gaze was like a camera, constantly following her movements.
Jiang You took back her lesson plan and sat down. She wrote a few words and then paused. Xiang Pei Qingxin jumped, quickly averting her gaze and pretending nothing had happened, only secretly watching out of the corner of her eye.
She glanced around and, noticing he wasn't looking at her, quickly lowered her head and sniffed the lesson plan.
Something shot straight to his head; a thread snapped; a tingling sensation crawled up his vertebrae and then quickly spread to the surrounding bones.
Jiang You knew nothing, only that the notebook she was writing in had a faint minty smell. Was the water the teacher was drinking also minty? But something felt off. She thought about it, but it didn't affect her work, so she didn't care and looked up.
She instantly sensed something dangerous staring at her, like a large wild beast or something unknown, which made her hair stand on end and a chill run down her spine.
She looked around.
The office was Xiang Peiqing's private space. Besides Teacher Xiang, she was the only other person there. Any danger could only come from...
She unconsciously glanced at Xiang Peiqing next to her. His profile was so exquisite that it seemed unreal, with smooth, clean lines, like a character straight out of a shoujo manga.
Perhaps it was the sunlight, but he looked down at his textbook, surrounded by shimmering white snow, a gentle breeze carrying just the right amount of softness.
Jiang You shook his head, thinking that he hadn't slept well, which was why he had that strange feeling earlier.
