"Knock, knock, knock." A sweet voice rang out after a knock on the door: "Teacher, did you want to see me?"
The door opened from the inside, and the person inside smiled when they saw Xiaoyouzi: "Xiaoyouzi is here, come in and sit down."
"Who are you?"
Little Yuzu was full of questions. Instead of going in, she cautiously took two steps back: "Excuse me, isn't this Teacher Kuang's office?"
Xiaoyouzi's art teacher is named Kwong Mei-wan. She is a very fashionable and beautiful teacher, and I heard that she is also a fashion designer for a brand.
Ms. Kuang is beautiful and speaks gently. She is especially graceful and beautiful when she wears a white dress.
The person in front of him was not Teacher Kuang.
Little Yuzu stared at the person in front of her without any attempt to conceal her gaze.
This is a male teacher, about 1.8 meters tall, with a slender build.
He wore gold-rimmed glasses and greeted Xiaoyouzi affectionately with a gentle smile on his face.
However, they were not very familiar with each other.
“This is indeed Mr. Kuang’s office, but I’m your substitute teacher. For the first month starting today, I will be teaching you.” The male teacher stepped aside: “Little Yuzu, come in and let’s talk.”
Little Yuzu didn't miss the fleeting look of amazement and ecstasy in the other person's eyes.
What happened?
Something feels off.
"No, teacher, class is about to start. What did you want to see me about?" Little Yuzu smiled obediently, seemingly without any sign of anything amiss.
The male teacher clenched his fist for a moment, then laughed: "Okay, actually it's because I know you're pretty good at drawing, so I was asking if you wanted to participate in our school's 'Traditional Chinese Style Competition'."
If you register and win an award, your application can be submitted to the provincial competition, and then to the national competition.
If you win a prize in the national competition, you can get a cash reward.
bonus?
Xiao Youzi, who wasn't particularly interested at first, stroked her chin and said, "In that case, I can give it a try."
"That's perfect." The male teacher didn't say anything when he saw that Xiaoyouzi really didn't intend to go in.
He went into the office and took out a form: "Could you please register the students in your class who are willing to participate in this competition? I remember that Jiang Qian from your class has signed up."
Xiao Youzi glanced at the registration form and, sure enough, saw Jiang Qian's scrawled handwriting, which looked like a dog's scratch, as he was ranked first.
He was the only one on the entire registration form.
With a slight sigh, Xiaoyouzi said, "Okay, teacher, I understand. When can I give it to you?"
"How about Friday afternoon?" the male teacher smiled.
Nodding, Xiaoyouzi said, "No problem, goodbye teacher."
"Okay, go ahead."
Just as Xiaoyouzi left, the school bell rang.
Watching Xiaoyouzi's departing figure, the male teacher pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses, the lenses gleaming white.
Back at the classroom door, Xiaoyouzi knocked: "Report."
"Little Yuzu? What were you doing just now?" The Chinese teacher, who was teaching the class, couldn't help but ask when she saw Little Yuzu standing at the door.
Little Yuzu waved the watch in her hand: "The art teacher asked me to get the registration form, and the art teacher has become a male teacher."
The Chinese teacher looked at Xiaoyouzi's pretty face with a puzzled expression, "But the art teacher is a man."
"Oh, right." The Chinese teacher nodded: "Your homeroom teacher hasn't told you yet, has she? Your teacher, Ms. Kuang, went abroad to participate in a design competition, and a new teacher, Ms. Qiu, has come to substitute for you."
The Chinese teacher glanced at the watch in Xiaoyouzi's hand and said, "Come in."
"Come on, everyone, let's open our textbooks and read the text. Let's start from the first row and read one paragraph each. Let's read through all the textbooks and ancient poems in this new unit before we start the lesson."
As the Chinese teacher spoke, Xiaoyouzi had already started walking back.
As she passed the class monitor, she handed him the registration form, saying, "Thank you for your help, class monitor."
"No problem." The class monitor put the watch away.
Back in her seat, Xiaoyouzi took out her textbook.
She was already lost in thought without even looking at it.
That's strange, so very strange.
The class monitor could have just gotten the registration form.
Even if all else fails, we can have Jiang Qian bring it back after he's registered.
She wasn't familiar with this teacher at all, and could even say she didn't know him. Why would he specifically ask her to go by name? Something's strange!
Something unusual must be going on!
Little Yuzi's head unconsciously drifted towards the scenery outside the window, her mind wandering as she thought about other things.
At this moment, Wen Shuqin couldn't help but nudge her: "Little Youzi, stop looking for now, it's almost our turn."
"Ah." Little Yuzu turned around and looked at Wen Shuqin: "Brother Shuqin, where are we reading now?"
Wen Shuqin smiled helplessly and turned the page in the book for Xiaoyouzi: "This is probably the text we are reading."
"Okay, thank you, Brother Shuqin."
Little Yuzu snapped out of her reverie and focused her attention on the text.
Their row was already the last.
Not long after Xiaoyouzi finished reading, it was almost time for get out of class to end: "We'll start reading the text next class, and everyone can read the rest of this together."
No one needs to feel like they're wasting time; we're one unit ahead of the class next door.
To avoid affecting everyone's understanding of the text, the teacher has decided to change the method. Hopefully, everyone can keep up with the pace.
"Yes!" the students below the stage answered sparsely.
The Chinese teacher nodded: "Good that everyone could do it. get out of class dismissed."
After class, the class monitor walked up to the podium with his watch and tapped the blackboard: "Everyone, please be quiet."
