Mu Chen was taken aback, then a slow smile appeared on his lips, filled with tenderness.
Yes, I am yours.
Lin Chuchu rarely says sweet words. She is dependent on him, but usually focuses more on her studies and career.
Back home, after dinner, she lay in bed, and a wave of drowsiness washed over her, and Lin Chuchu drifted off to sleep.
That day, Lin Chuchu was about to leave after school when the old professor asked her to wait.
"Chuchu, I'm going on a business trip out of town tomorrow. Could you cover a few classes for me? They're for the students in the next year. I've already arranged for a teacher to help teach your class."
"There's only one class a day, and the first-year courses aren't difficult for you. Could you help the teacher out?"
He had no choice; the teacher who had agreed to come had something come up and couldn't attend class, and he couldn't find anyone else, so he had to ask Lin Chuchu for help.
Lin Chuchu's English level was high enough, comparable to his. Rather than being teacher and student, they were more like colleagues who were making progress together.
Lin Chuchu didn't want to put him in a difficult position, so she had no choice but to agree. The old professor told her about the course schedule for the first year, some tips for attending classes, and the classrooms for each class.
Lin Chuchu reassured the old professor that she would definitely teach him well and wouldn't embarrass him.
Back home, Lin Chuchu told Mu Chen that after dinner, Mu Chen asked her to make lesson preparation notes.
Following the old professor's teaching methods, Lin Chuchu carefully prepared lesson plans.
Although it was her first time being a teacher, she wasn't afraid; she had seen many people before.
Not daring to stay up too late, Lin Chuchu went to bed early.
The next day, Lin Chuchu asked her teacher for leave and took her first-year English book to the classroom where she was about to have class.
Her outfit today was rather ordinary and formal: a suit jacket over a white shirt, and black trousers.
When Lin Chuchu entered, the classroom fell silent for a moment.
Lin Chuchu walked to the desk.
"Hello everyone, I am your substitute teacher today. You can call me Teacher Lin."
Lin Chuchu's expression was calm, and her overall demeanor was very similar to that of the teachers they usually saw.
The classroom, which had been quiet for a moment, was suddenly filled with whispers.
"Is this a teacher? Why is she so young? Is she from our school?"
"Yeah, how come I've never seen it before?"
The girls in the class unconsciously compared themselves to Lin Chuchu, only to realize that the other girl exuded an elegant and composed demeanor that they could not match.
Hearing the voice, Lin Chuchu looked up and casually glanced at the person who spoke.
"I am the professor's student and also your senior. The professor had something come up, so he asked me to cover a few classes for him."
"Everyone, please be quiet. What we've learned these past few days is very important, so please listen carefully."
Lin Chuchu quickly got into the role of a teacher and explained the knowledge carefully.
When encountering difficult parts, Lin Chuchu would slow down her speech and even repeat herself several times.
The presentation was relaxed and easy to understand.
When the bell rang, Lin Chuchu breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she had covered everything she needed to.
Lin Chuchu said "get out of class dismissed," but the students weren't in a hurry to leave. Instead, they gathered around Lin Chuchu and started asking her questions.
"Teacher Lin, are you really our senior? Were you a student from the previous year?"
"Ms. Lin, are you from Beijing? You're so beautiful, how do you take care of your skin?"
"Teacher Lin, your spoken English is so good! Can you teach me? I always feel like I have an accent when I read English."
Lin Chuchu answered everyone's questions with a smile. Fortunately, the boys were relatively reserved, and it was mostly girls who surrounded her.
Several minutes had passed since get out of class ended before Lin Chuchu was finally freed.
Everyone noticed Lin Chuchu's pregnant belly, and some even offered to help her, but Lin Chuchu refused.
She not only had to teach others, but also had to teach the classes she could herself. After a hurried lunch, Lin Chuchu returned to the classroom to rest for a while.
With plenty of time before class, a student took out a set of Gomoku (Five in a Row) and invited others to play.
Before long, everyone in the classroom was drawn to it.
Gomoku is simpler than chess; you can learn it almost instantly.
Some people are talented and win almost every game, while others are terrible at chess but addicted to it and won't budge from their spot.
The classmate sitting next to her asked, "Chuchu, do you know how to play? Do you want to play?"
The girl's eyes lit up; she wanted to play too, but the Go board was already occupied by two people, making it impossible to squeeze in.
Besides, those people were all boys, and she didn't want to get close to them.
Thinking it was indeed quite boring, Lin Chuchu took out a grid notebook.
"Let's use a pencil to draw a circle and an X on a point, and then walk to the point where the circle is, okay?"
The girl's eyes lit up. "Okay, okay, let's play like this."
As a result, two groups of people appeared in the classroom: one group of boys and one group of girls.
At first, quite a few people watched, but later they simply started playing with the paper together.
After playing a few rounds, Lin Chuchu quit the game.
The days of being a substitute teacher were quite boring, and I also had to travel back and forth.
At first, the students were quite afraid of her, but after they got to know her...
The students also became bolder.
Some people even slacked off.
Lin Chuchu felt quite helpless. Did she really look that kind?
That day, the principal wanted to see her, so Lin Chuchu went to his office.
The principal said with a smile.
"You've been working hard lately, take a look at this document."
Lin Chuchu took the document, her eyes immediately lighting up.
"The document has arrived? Thank you, Principal, you've worked so hard!"
The document is a registration form for sole proprietorships, and some other documents are also required.
