Chapter 446 Teacher Zhou's Secret Love
While they were talking, a woman in her twenties came over and asked Zhou Heng seriously, "Teacher Zhou, is this a student in your class?"
Zhou Heng said, "No, he's my friend, a freshman this year. Director Wang, do you want to talk to me about something?"
Lin Xiaoxia looked at Director Wang and thought that this woman was quite capable. She was a director at such a young age and she was also pretty.
Director Wang said to Zhou Heng, "It's nothing. I just came over to say hello. Your friend is so pretty. How many boys are chasing her?"
Lin Xiaoxia quickly said, "Director Wang, you're too kind. Besides, I'm already married, so I won't burden the girls in our school anymore."
Director Wang suddenly smiled: "Really? I thought Teacher Zhou also wanted to pursue you."
Lin Xiaoxia also smiled and said, "Director Wang, you're overthinking it. Teacher Zhou and I are friends. Before the exam, Teacher Zhou helped me a lot. I'm very grateful to him, and we get along well."
Zhou Heng was stunned for a long time before he recovered. He looked at Lin Xiaoxia and asked again to confirm, "Are you really married?"
Lin Xiaoxia nodded: "Yes, my husband works in the Urban Construction Bureau."
Zhou Heng's smile was very forced: "Well, that's good, but I really didn't expect you to get married at such a young age."
Lin Xiaoxia smiled and said, "It's indeed early, but there are also advantages to getting married early. Family comes first, then career."
Director Wang looked at Zhou Heng and said, "Teacher Zhou, we should also learn from our students and solve our personal problems as soon as possible."
Zhou Heng said, "I'm not in a hurry, Director Wang, class is about to start, let's go back."
Director Wang said to Zhou Heng, "I've looked at your schedule. You don't have this class. Let this student go back first. We can talk."
Lin Xiaoxia said tactfully, "Let the two teachers talk. I'm going back to class." Then she remembered that she'd invited Zhou Heng to dinner tomorrow and said, "Teacher Zhou, see you at Lingyuan BBQ tomorrow at noon."
When Zhou Heng heard about Lingyuan BBQ, he quickly confirmed with Lin Xiaoxia: "Are you talking about Lingyuan BBQ restaurant?"
Lin Xiaoxia nodded: "Okay, I'll wait for you in the store at 11 o'clock tomorrow morning." Then she hurried back to the classroom to attend class.
Zhou Heng couldn't figure it out. There were so many things about this girl that he didn't expect, and the most important thing was that she was married?
Director Wang looked at Zhou Heng and said, "Teacher Zhou, do you like this student?"
Zhou Heng didn't deny it: "She's married."
Director Wang scratched his head. "Sometimes, fate is the bond between people. Teacher Zhou, don't always look so far ahead. Look around you and see if there's anyone suitable. We have so many single teachers in the English department. Don't you see anyone you like?"
Zhou Heng said, "If I had my eye on someone, would I have waited until today? Perhaps my destiny hasn't arrived yet."
Director Wang sighed and said, "Teacher Zhou, you can't always look at such beautiful ones. You still have to choose the one that suits you, right?"
"I don't like pretty girls. I actually like Lin Xiaoxia's personality. When she walks towards me, she always seems to bring a ray of sunshine."
"To be honest, that girl is really pretty. I saw her and I liked her, but Teacher Zhou, we still have to be realistic, right?"
"Yes, but it's hard to explain matters of the heart. I'm not in love yet, and I'm just disappointed. I'm afraid to go home now because my family is urging me to get married. Hey, Director Wang, do your family often urge you to get married too?"
"Of course, my sister's child is old enough to help with cooking, and I'm being urged to do so every day."
"So, do you have anyone you like?"
"Yes, I do, but people don't seem to think highly of me."
"Director Wang is so young and promising. If he doesn't think highly of you, it proves that he has no vision."
"I think so too, but I still have hope. I will try harder."
"Then I wish you success."
"Teacher Zhou, your classmate is married now. Would it be convenient for you to have dinner with her tomorrow?"
"It's okay. She doesn't know I'm interested in her. Besides, I've given up on her feelings now. We're just having dinner with friends tomorrow, and it's at her own restaurant. I guess it's a place where she knows everyone, so it won't be inconvenient."
"That classmate just mentioned Lingyuan BBQ restaurant. It's hers. That's impossible, right?"
"There's no need for them to lie to me about this. It seems I underestimated them. Even if they weren't married, I don't think there's a chance for me."
"That girl may not look young, but she's quite capable. Since you think so, don't be sad. I'll run two laps with you."
"Then run two laps. I'm really feeling choked up. Running will make me feel better."
Director Wang and Zhou Heng ran around the playground together.
After school in the evening, Lin Xiaoxia told Lu Jingshen about inviting Zhou Heng to dinner tomorrow. Lu Jingshen said that he had to finish a few speeches at noon tomorrow, and several bridge experts from other provinces would be coming the day after tomorrow, so he would be busy with this matter in the next two days. He asked Lin Xiaoxia to treat Teacher Zhou well, and he would feel at ease if he could do it in his own store.
The next day around noon, Lin Xiaoxia went to the store.
After a while, Zhou Heng arrived. Lin Xiaoxia went to greet him, found a quiet place to sit down, and then asked the waiter to serve the food.
Zhou Heng thought it through that night. He was not worthy of her anyway, so it was just right that he didn't say it out loud. They could just be good friends. This was a good thing. Otherwise, if he really confessed his feelings and found out that she was married, wouldn't they no longer be able to be friends?
So today Zhou Heng felt relieved and relaxed.
While eating, Lin Xiaoxia introduced the special dishes of her restaurant to Zhou Heng.
Zhou Heng also had a little more admiration for Lin Xiaoxia. After all, the girl was really young and promising.
What Lin Xiaoxia didn't expect was that Xu Xinran also followed her.
Xu Xinran had been planning to talk to Lin Xiaoxia about Lu Jingshen again. This time, she'd tried to lie to her by saying she and Lu Jingshen had once had an affair. If she told her too much, even if Lin Xiaoxia didn't believe it, wouldn't that be offensive? She just wanted to make Lin Xiaoxia annoyed with Lu Jingshen; she simply couldn't bear to see him have a good family.
However, what Xu Xinran did not expect was that she actually saw Lin Xiaoxia having dinner here with a man, and they were just two people. If she called Lu Jingshen and said that Lin Xiaoxia was having dinner here with a man hugging her, then Lu Jingshen would definitely come. Even if he did not see them being ambiguous, he would definitely be suspicious. As long as a couple has suspicions, there will be more and more conflicts.
Thinking of this, Xu Xinran became very excited and quickly called Lu Jingshen.
Lu Jingshen picked up the phone, and Xu Xinran quickly said, "Brother Shen, I saw my sister-in-law hugging a man at Lingyuan Barbecue Restaurant. Please come over quickly."
When Lu Jingshen heard this, he didn't seem anxious at all. Instead, he smiled and said, "Xu Xinran, are you interested? It seems I have to ask Professor Xu to take you away immediately."
Xu Xinran didn't understand: "Brother Shen, you are angry with your sister-in-law, there is no need to take your anger out on me. Come over quickly and catch them in adultery. If you don't come, they will leave."
Lu Jingshen said, "Didn't your father tell you that Lingyuan BBQ Restaurant is ours? Why would my wife have an affair with another man in her own restaurant? Are you sick? I asked you to leave two days later to give your father face. If you are so shameless, then get out now." After that, he hung up the phone.
