Chapter 31 Encounter with Cen Xi
"Teacher Cen? Don't you have to go to work today?"
Yes, the person who just called Nian Sui'an was Cen Xi, Gu Zhijing's current class teacher. Nian Sui'an really didn't expect to see her in the mall. Today is Thursday, not a day off.
Facing Nian Sui'an's question, Cen Xi smiled and said, "Ms. Nian, have you forgotten? Isn't our school just on the street in front? I came here for lunch." The mall is very close to the school, so the teachers of the school will occasionally come here to change their taste. It happened that Cen Xi was not busy today, so she came out to eat by herself. After the meal, she could buy a cake from her favorite cake shop and take it back for dinner.
Nianshaunan slapped his forehead and remembered: "That's right, look at me, I forgot about this. Have you eaten? If not, let's go eat together, I'll treat you." Nianshaunan had a good impression of Cenxi, and she was Zhijing's class teacher, so he thought of treating her to a meal.
"Not yet, I just came over and saw you. We can have dinner together, but don't treat me. I'm Zhijing's head teacher now, how can I ask students' parents to treat me to dinner?"
"Okay, then let's split the bill. Is that okay? But I've never been to this mall, so you have to introduce me to some delicious food." Nian'an followed suit and suggested that they split the bill. If Cenxi was not Zhijing's head teacher, she would have treated him, but since they were in this relationship, it was not appropriate to treat him. Although the meal didn't cost much, if others knew about it, it would not only have a bad impact on Cenxi, but also on Zhijing.
"No problem. There is a hot pot chicken restaurant on the third floor. It is very authentic. I wonder if you are used to it." Cen Xi originally planned to eat hot pot chicken when she came here today. She used to come with her colleagues. Today, her dining partner had something to do at noon. She felt that it was tasteless to eat alone. Unexpectedly, she met Nian Sui'an.
"Of course, I am used to eating anything." Nian Sui'an nodded. After coming here, I really haven't eaten out much.
"Ms. Nian, are you here to buy something today?" After the two sat down and ordered the dishes, Cen Xi asked Nian Sui'an.
Nian Suian poured two cups of tea and said, "Teacher Cen, please call me Suian. It seems too strange to call me Ms. Nian all the time." After saying that, he winked at Cen Xi and answered the question just now, "I came here to buy clothes today."
"Okay, then I will call you Suian, and you can call me Cen Xi too." Cen Xi is about the same age as Nian Suian. Since becoming a teacher, she has never met a parent of similar age. Moreover, Nian Suian made a good impression on Cen Xi during the first two meetings.
"Is it busy to be a teacher? It must be very stressful to take care of so many children?" Nian Suian asked curiously.
"There is definitely pressure, especially in high school, and the study is quite intense. But I like this job very much, so I feel a sense of accomplishment. Moreover, the children in our class are very obedient and cute." Cenxi smiled unconsciously when she talked about her students.
Nian Sui'an could feel that she really liked her job as a teacher and loved her students very much. She sighed, "It's great, it's great to have something you like."
"What about you, Sui'an? Do you have something you like?"
"Me? I don't have any yet. I just want to eat, drink and have fun now." Nian Sui'an was telling the truth. When she was studying, she followed her heart to study a major that she liked but was difficult to find a job in. After graduation, she couldn't find a job that matched her, but she didn't dare to quit her job for a living, and she was in pain every day. Now that she finally has a chance to take a break, she feels very happy. She has no other thoughts for the time being. Maybe she will have some in the future, but she doesn't know yet.
"Just be happy. Happiness is the true meaning of life." Cen Xi said.
"That's right!"
When Nian Sui'an wanted to say something else, he was interrupted by a ringing cell phone.
Cen Xi took out his cell phone, took a look, and hung up directly. As a result, within a few seconds, the ringing sounded again. Cen Xi still didn't answer it, but just turned the phone to vibrate.
Because she was afraid of missing the call from the school, Cen Xi didn't dare to turn off the phone or mute it directly. She had to do this.
Because she was always disturbed by the phone, Cen Xi had to apologize to Nian Sui'an. Nian Sui'an shook his head to indicate that it was okay, and didn't show any curiosity about the call.
When the fourth call came, Cen Xi answered the phone.
"Xu Licheng! Don't call me again, or I'll sue you for harassment." Then he hung up the phone.
After hanging up the phone, Cen Xi gave Nian Sui'an a bitter smile: "I'm so sorry."
"It's okay, but why don't you block him." Hearing the name Xu Licheng, Nian Sui'an remembered that this was the man who shouted "Finally found you" outside on the day of the parents' meeting...
"You should have remembered him too, he is the uncle of my student Xu Yuan. Xu Yuan's parents are divorced, her father is in the peacekeeping force, and her grandparents are old, so the parent the school has contacted has always been her uncle, Xu Licheng. I tried to block him before, but he turned around and told the school that I blocked the student's parents. I was criticized by the school for this before, so..." Cen Xi pulled the corner of her mouth after she finished speaking, and her smile was uglier than crying.
"How could he be so excessive! Why don't you report this problem to the school? Teachers can't block students' parents, and students' parents can't harass teachers either!" Nian Sui'an recalled Xu Licheng's appearance, thinking that he looked like a decent person but turned out to be a jerk.
Cen Xi shook her head: "Xu Yuan is a good child, I'm afraid it will affect her. This child is introverted and sensitive, and her parents are not around, I really can't bear it... and Xu Licheng, although he is a lunatic, he is very good to his niece. I asked Xu Yuan, and she said that her uncle is very good. If he calls me and only asks about Xu Yuan, I am willing to answer."
"Next time he does this again, just tell him directly: If you are not afraid of affecting Xu Yuan, then go ahead and hit him!" Since his attitude towards his niece seems to be personal, then use this matter to threaten him.
Cenxi's eyes widened: "Is this okay?"
"I'm not asking you to do anything to Xu Yuan, I'm just warning him. If he still loves his niece, he won't be as reckless as before."
Cenxi thought about what Nian Sui'an said carefully and felt that she made sense, so she nodded: "Thank you, Sui'an."
"That's nothing, you're welcome."
Because Cenxi had to go back to school, the two didn't talk much and prepared to leave after dinner. Cenxi paid the bill because she was an old customer and had a coupon. Later, Nian Sui'an transferred the meal money to her via WeChat.
After dinner, Cenxi went to buy a cake and recommended this cake to Nian Sui'an. So Nian Sui'an also bought a six-inch cream cake to take home and share with everyone.
She bought a slightly smaller one and planned to bring it to Gu Zhijing.
"When Zhijing comes home, we will probably finish the cake, so I want to buy a smaller one and bring it to him. I'll go to school with you." She left the big one in the store and she would come to pick it up when she went home.
"I can bring it to you, so you don't have to make a special trip."
"It's okay, I just ate a lot and I'm going to digest it." Nian Sui'an said with a smile. It was a good opportunity to go see Gu Zhijing. Nian Sui'an and Gu Junxing were both in the hospital recently. Today, Gu Zhijing went to school before she got up. After the evening study session, she was probably in bed again, so they hadn't seen each other for a few days. It was a good opportunity to go see him.
"You're very nice to Zhijing." When they were about to reach the school gate, Cen Xi said to Nian Sui'an.
Nian Sui'an smiled slightly, "We are friends."
