3-7: The little beauty unknowingly walks into the wolf's den
Huaiyan lay uneasily on the bed, her eyes fixed on the bathroom.
Half an hour later, Bai Wenzhou came out.
The boy's breathing suddenly became rapid.
"T-Teacher," the boy blinked his beautiful eyes and asked in a clear voice, "how should I sleep on the floor?"
Huaiyan's voice sounded tired, and her eyes were listless, perhaps because she hadn't fully recovered from her fever.
He insisted on setting up the floor first so as not to disturb Bai Wenzhou's work.
"You sleep on the bed, I'll sleep on the floor later."
Bai Wenzhou pulled out a chair, sat down at the desk, and said calmly, "Go to sleep if you're tired. You don't need to wait for me."
The quiz was delayed because of something that happened in the morning, so the rest of the teaching schedule will have to be adjusted.
Bai Wenzhou spent the afternoon preparing lessons and PPTs, but he still hadn't finished grading the last test papers.
By the time everything is finished, it will probably be past 10 p.m., and the child definitely won't be able to stay up.
Besides, Bai Wenzhou can't worry about that right now.
When he asked for leave in the morning, he spent all his time taking care of Huaiyan and handling other matters.
If we delay any longer, I don't know if we can catch up with the schedule.
Thinking of this, Bai Wenzhou rubbed his temples and closed his eyes slightly.
Huaiyan obediently sat on the bed, not daring to refute the man's words.
It must be admitted that Bai Wenzhou, as a teacher, has a great sense of propriety.
After a while, Huaiyan looked at the man's back and said softly, "Are you grading exam papers?"
"Um."
Bai Wenzhou made a low, hoarse sound.
He didn't stop what he was doing when he suddenly said, "It's your turn now. Want to take a look?"
Huaiyan: "..."
Huaiyan's shy expression froze instantly.
Doesn't he know what the original owner would do?
If he were to appear idiotic in front of Bai Wenzhou when the man saw him doing the problems...
They were already hopelessly stupid, and now they're being tortured in front of everyone again.
Huaiyan's vision went black, and he felt a bit uncomfortable in his heart. He thought about jumping off the building.
"I...I..." The boy's voice was weak, as he tried to refuse, "I won't..."
However, before he could finish speaking, he heard the man's voice, which left no room for refusal.
"come over."
The deep male voice was like a highly authoritative command.
The boy shuddered, obediently got out of bed, and stepped barefoot onto the floor.
"It's over." 073 felt completely unwell. "The main problem was that it was done like dog shit..."
Huaiyan: "..." That's enough.
The boy, with a pained expression, timidly approached the man, even his breathing becoming much softer.
"Why aren't you wearing shoes?" Bai Wenzhou glanced down and asked in a low voice.
Huai Yan, wearing a loose white T-shirt, stood in front of the man, looking somewhat uneasy.
"No, I'm not cold." The boy lowered his head, not daring to look into the man's deep eyes.
In a daze, the boy seemed to hear a sigh again.
Bai Wenzhou stood up and pressed him back into the chair.
Then, the man naturally and without any hesitation, brought up the interface for reviewing the papers.
"Take a look for yourself," Bai Wenzhou said in a low voice.
Huaiyan became even more nervous, constantly clutching the corner of her T-shirt.
Although he was listening to the man's words, his thoughts were racing.
As they got closer, the cool, refreshing fragrance emanating from Bai Wenzhou became even more pronounced.
The sensation was so intense that it made Huaiyan's heart race.
As for what the man said or showed him, he knew nothing about it.
"What are you daydreaming about?" Soon, Bai Wenzhou noticed the boy's unusual behavior.
The man leaned on the edge of the desk with one hand and turned his head to look at the boy.
The distance between the two was shortened again.
"Here and here."
Bai Wenzhou casually looked away, pointed at the screen, and said calmly, "These are all the key points covered in class."
The man's voice, though calm as still water, revealed no emotion.
But Huaiyan always had a guilty feeling, like she was being caught by the teacher for not paying attention in class.
"Review all the key points so you don't forget them before the exam."
Bai Wenzhou tapped his knuckles rhythmically on the table and suddenly said, "Don't just stare at me."
"ah--!"
Huaiyan suddenly snapped out of her daze, blushing and stammering, "I...I understand..."
The two were so close that Huaiyan's gaze was involuntarily drawn to the man.
By the time they realized what was happening, they had already been caught red-handed.
Huaiyan felt that all of this was the original owner's fault.
Everything should return to normal once the original owner's emotions have faded.
"Alright." Bai Wenzhou closed his laptop and said in a deep voice, "Go to bed."
Huaiyan immediately felt relieved and obediently went to bed.
Just kidding, he had absolutely no desire to hear how Bai Wenzhou explained his mistakes.
It's one thing to find a man's voice pleasant, but it's quite another when he talks about a topic.
However, now, whenever Huaiyan sees Bai Wenzhou, her mood will unconsciously improve.
Even the gloom of being bullied during the day was blown away a bit.
Huaiyan obediently lay down on one side of the bed.
He turned his head and watched as Bai Wenzhou lay down on the floor under the bed in the same manner.
Bai Wenzhou raised his hand and turned off the light, the woody scent of which suddenly and subtly entered the boy's nostrils.
"Teacher," Huaiyan suddenly asked, "can I go to class tomorrow?"
In the darkness, Huaiyan could not see the man's expression.
It was also impossible to tell where the other person's gaze was fixed at that moment.
But the thought that Bai Wenzhou was nearby made Huai Yan nervous.
"Go when you're better." Bai Wenzhou's voice was cold as he asked, "Are you feeling better?"
The boy nodded, his face still flushed.
But after he nodded, he realized that Bai Wenzhou might not be able to see his movements.
So the boy, in a soft voice and looking obediently at the man, replied, "I'm...I'm feeling better. I want to go back to class."
As soon as he finished speaking, in the darkness, Huaiyan seemed to hear the man turn over.
Then came the cold, deep question: "Aren't you afraid anymore?"
Huai Yan was taken aback; he knew what Bai Wenzhou meant.
If the bully cannot be found, he is likely to be bullied again when he returns to school.
At that time, it might not be as simple as being doused with three buckets of ice water as the first time.
But the boy shook his head in a hoarse voice and said, "...I'm scared, but with you here, I'm not scared anymore."
From her words, Huaiyan seemed to have great confidence in men.
Without the slightest hesitation, he continued Bai Wenzhou's words.
Bai Wenzhou paused noticeably, his voice becoming even hoarse as he asked, "Did this often happen before?"
The boy nodded, giving a silent affirmative answer.
"Do you remember who it was?" Bai Wenzhou asked again.
"No, I don't remember."
The boy stammered slightly and said in a low voice, "They always do this, it happens so many times that I can't remember them all."
The original owner suffered quite a few grievances at school.
Otherwise, the boy wouldn't have ended up choosing a path from which there was no turning back.
"Why didn't you come to me?" The man's voice was still icy, but it gradually softened.
In the pitch black, Huaiyan blinked quietly.
His hand, hidden under the covers, secretly reached up to the corner of Bai Wenzhou's bathrobe.
Realizing the man hadn't noticed, the boy cautiously said, "I'm afraid... I'm afraid of troubling you, you're very busy."
Huaiyan had previously asked Gao Jia about this.
Bai Wenzhou taught two liberal arts classes and was scheduled to teach more than ten classes each week.
If men spend time dealing with these little things.
It will inevitably fall behind by a huge margin.
However, Huaiyan did not receive a reply from Bai Wenzhou for quite some time.
Hearing his heart pounding erratically, Huaiyan thought that perhaps he had been talking too much.
Just when Huaiyan thought she would never receive a reply from the man.
Beside him, Bai Wenzhou's familiar, calm voice came: "No rush."
Huaiyan opened her eyes wide in surprise, without making a sound.
Does the man mean...?
If I get bullied in the future, I can go to him for help?
The boy was blinded by those two seemingly insignificant words.
When no other sounds came from beside him, Bai Wenzhou's breathing became calm.
He then called out softly, "Teacher Bai?"
No one answered.
Perhaps she's asleep, Huaiyan cautiously guessed.
He held his breath nervously, tracing the man's outline little by little.
Bai Wenzhou was enveloped in a faint, cold winter scent.
Even though the two were a little distance apart, Huaiyan could still feel it because of this action.
The boy then closed his eyes.
In the darkness.
The man who should have been fast asleep.
For some reason, I opened my eyes.
-
Huaiyan woke up very early the next day.
Last night, I went to sleep with a nervous heart, but unexpectedly, Huaiyan slept very soundly.
However, when he woke up, he found the spot next to him was ice cold.
Bai Wenzhou must have gotten up very early; even the spot where the man had slept was perfectly smooth.
There were no signs that someone had slept there.
After glancing at the time, Huaiyan suddenly sat up in bed and went straight into the bathroom.
On the washstand, Bai Wenzhou placed a brand new toothbrush.
Huaiyan's heart stirred, and she couldn't help but recall the man's indifferent profile.
"Oh, right," 073 suddenly said, "Jiang Yuxing seems to have come back to school today."
Jiang Yuxing had originally requested three days of personal leave, but after only two days, his grandfather kicked him out of the ward.
Jiang Yuxing is a good student, and the old man probably didn't want to be a burden to his grandson, so he insisted on having Jiang Yuxing come back to school.
"You should first build a good relationship with Jiang Yuxing," 073 said. "When Chen Nuannuan appears, you can also lend him a hand."
Upon hearing this, Huaiyan wiped the water droplets from her face and nodded firmly.
Jiang Yuxing's past life was too tragic; he must not repeat the same mistakes this time.
"Awake?" Bai Wenzhou sat down at the dining table, took a sip of his iced Americano, and said calmly, "Sit down and eat."
Although I spent the entire night at the man's house and even shared a bed with him.
But Huaiyan was still nervous at this moment.
After all, he secretly did something bad last night.
She clung to the corner of the man's robe and slept through the night.
Fortunately, Huaiyan's fever has subsided and her body temperature is approaching normal.
After finishing their meal, Bai Wenzhou took the boy into the car.
The two of them barely spoke the rest of the way.
Huaiyan was too nervous. No matter how long he spent with Bai Wenzhou, he would often feel a tightness in his throat when speaking to him.
"Take your medicine on time."
As they got off the bus, Bai Wenzhou handed Huaiyan another box of medicine, saying casually, "Come find me if you're not feeling well."
The boy was taken aback, blushed, nodded, and said softly, "Thank you, teacher."
Bai Wenzhou remained noncommittal.
The boy breathed a sigh of relief, clutched the medicine in his arms, and hurriedly returned to his class.
However, there was a hint of panic in his back view.
Bai Wenzhou stared intently at the child's back.
He then casually looked away, a slight smile playing on his lips.
