Snap!

The chopsticks fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

Su Ruchu, however, didn't care at all. He just covered his mouth with his hand excitedly and stared blankly at the person opposite him.

Chen Fan stood at the door.

The two just looked at each other.

The air seemed to stop at this moment.

Until Chen Fan stretched out his arms.

"ah……"

Su Ruchu screamed softly, and could no longer control her emotions. She ran over and threw herself into Chen Fan's arms.

"Wow, why are you here?"

Su Ruchu threw herself into Chen Fan's arms, her face full of excitement and delight.

Chen Fan reached out and hugged Su Ruchu, smiling and jokingly said.

"My girl couldn't be reached, so of course I had to come over to see what was going on."

Su Ruchu raised her head and glanced at Chen Fan, then happily threw herself into his arms again.

"Let go of Teacher Su!"

Suddenly, a shout came from the yard, and Chen Fan was so scared that he quickly looked up.

It turned out to be a skinny boy with dark skin.

Su Ruochu quickly broke free from Chen Fan's arms, then turned around and smiled at the boy behind her.

"Why did you get out?"

The little boy in front shouted timidly, holding a piece of wood in his hand.

"Don't bully Teacher Su, or we won't forgive you."

Su Ruochu walked towards 꺘그 with a smile and rubbed the child's head with his hand.

"I'm not bullying the teacher. I'm the teacher's boyfriend. I came from the city to visit the teacher today."

"Ah? The teacher's boyfriend?"

The boy raised his head with a look of surprise.

Su Ruochu smiled and waved, "Alright. Go to bed first, I'll tell you tomorrow."

"Teacher Su..."

"Let it go, teacher, it's okay."

Before leaving, the boy did not forget to secretly look at Chen Fan.

After they entered the next room, Su Ruchu grinned at Chen Fan.

"The school kids live too far from home and it's inconvenient for them to go to school, so they usually live here."

Chen Fan came over and asked, "Are you usually the only teacher living here?"

"Yes." Su Ruochu nodded. "I heard before that if no more teachers come to this school, it will be closed. I took the initiative to apply with the team teacher."

Chen Fan glanced to the side and saw the meal that Su Ruchu was cooking, and his brows furrowed.

"Is this what you usually eat?"

Su Ruchu knew what Chen Fan was worried about, and smiled and took Chen Fan's hand and said coquettishly.

"No, usually people from nearby villages bring us meals."

"Today it rained yesterday, so I didn't let my parents go to school."

"Besides, noodles are good. I like noodles the most."

Chen Fan sighed, feeling somewhat helpless.

"Hey, please don't be angry, okay?"

Su Ruochu immediately hugged Chen Fan coquettishly, "I know you love me, but I'm really fine."

Chen Fan shook his head, "Let's not talk about this for now, let's eat first."

After saying this, he winked at Feng Pojun at the door.

"I brought you some snacks."

"Ah? Really?"

Su Ruochu immediately became excited: "That's great. I gave the bags of potato chips I brought to the children."

"I've been craving for it for a long time."

Feng Pojun opened a suitcase, and Su Ruchu immediately shouted excitedly, but was afraid of waking up the children, so she carefully covered her mouth and grinned at Chen Fan.

Chen Fan took a look at the water in the pot and saw that it was already boiling, so he picked up a few packets of instant noodles.

"It just so happens that I haven't eaten yet. I'll have noodles tonight."

Su Ruochu smiled and said, "I haven't eaten the food you cooked for a long time."

She excitedly checked the things Chen Fan bought for her, then only took a bag of potato chips and put the rest back into the suitcase.

Chen Fan made a pot of noodles, and the three of them had dinner in the yard.

After dinner, Feng Pojun took the initiative to wash the dishes. After he finished, he quietly slipped out of the school.

In the next room, Chen Fan was looking at Su Ruchu's bedroom.

Next door is the classroom. In one classroom, there is one teacher who teaches children from grades one to five at the same time.

The room on the other side of the classroom was less than ten square meters in total, and there was nothing in it except a bed and a shabby wooden table.

Su Ruchu's suitcase was placed in the corner.

In addition, there was a washbasin, a flashlight, and Su Ruchu's own toiletries on the windowsill.

There are also a few pots of lilies placed next to it, which are the only few embellishments in this room.

Chen Fan looked around and felt a little pain.

I can’t imagine how a girl like Su Ruchu managed to stay here.

Seeing that Chen Fan looked unhappy, Su Ruochu walked over with a smile and hugged Chen Fan.

"What are you doing? Are you angry?"

Chen Fan looked down at Su Ruchu and said, "Come back with me tomorrow. It hurts to have you here alone in this environment."

Su Ruochu shook her head and pouted.

"You clearly promised me before."

Chen Fan smiled bitterly: "I promised you before, but I didn't expect the environment here to be so bad."

"I'm not afraid. I've already adapted to the environment after being here for half a month."

"It's me who's in pain."

Su Ruochu quickly hugged Chen Fan tightly, "Please don't be like this. I'm really fine."

“I love it here.”

After saying that, she stood on tiptoe and kissed Chen Fan several times on the face.

Looking at the girl's cautious posture, Chen Fan didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

In the end, he had no choice but to gently wrap his arms around Su Ruchu's slender waist.

"Okay, let's talk about this later. Now..."

Chen Fan suddenly leaned over and picked up Su Ruchu, then turned and walked towards the bed.

"Let me check if you have lost weight first."

Su Ruchu blushed and gently pushed Chen Fan.

"The children are sleeping next door."

Su Ruchu's shyness did not happen in the end. Chen Fan just hugged her gently, and the two of them lay on the bed, looking at the night sky outside the window.

Chen Fan put one hand on Su Ruchu's collar and made some funny moves.

"Wife, the children's cafeteria is in a mess."

Su Ruochu pinched Chen Fan lightly but did not try to stop someone's action.

"You are not serious."

"Wife, can you tell me why you like this place?"

Su Ruchu withdrew his secret gaze at Chen Fan and looked at the ceiling.

"Before coming here, my idea was very simple. I just wanted to do a research on teaching with my seniors. I would just go back and write a research report and that would be it."

“But after being here for half a month, I’ve seen a lot of things.”

"Do you know? There are still many children who cannot afford to go to school. It turns out that in such a remote place, there is still a phenomenon of favoring boys over girls."

"The toys and snacks that we usually get easily are not affordable for the children here. Many of them have never even seen a telephone."

“But even though the conditions are so difficult, the children here still want to go to school.”

"On the first day I taught them, I looked at the innocent eyes of the children, which were full of desire to learn. I suddenly understood the meaning of what I was doing."

Su Ruchu turned his head and looked at Chen Fan.

“When I think about the fact that I am doing something meaningful, then what I have been through doesn’t matter.”
