She tightened her grip on the book and secretly reminded herself not to show her emotions too much. After all, her mother had just reminded her not to let others get the better of her.
Fu Hanting straightened her pearl hairpin and tried her best to keep her tone steady.
"Since Teacher Wei resigned from his teaching position to avoid suspicion, why did he come to visit me again? Or is there something else going on?"
Wei Zhuolan chuckled when he heard this, his Adam's apple rolling up and down the collar of his straight Zhongshan suit:
"Comrade Han Ting is very intelligent. However, she has some difficulties, and I'm afraid it will pollute your ears if I tell you."
Fu Hanting's palms, clutching the manual, were sweating. She took a deep breath and was about to ask further questions when she saw Wei Zhuolan pick up the teacup and sip it gently, his Adam's apple rolling as he let out a soft laugh:
"Comrade Han Ting, why aren't you saying anything? Do you think my presence is abrupt?"
"Teacher Wei..."
Fu Hanting had just opened her mouth when the sound of a key turning was heard at the door.
Wei Zhuolan's smile deepened instantly, but the wrist holding the teacup tensed instantly.
In the silent living room, the only sound was the subtle tapping of his shoes on the carpet.
Fu Hanting stared at the Hai brand watch on his wrist, the glare from the dial making her eyes burn. She suddenly raised her voice, her voice trembling:
"Are you sincere in coming to meet me today? Or is it because..."
"Of course I really do."
Wei Zhuolan put down the teacup and tapped lightly on the armrest of the rattan chair with his bony fingers.
He saw Qin Ying frozen in place from the corner of his eye, the strap of her schoolbag slipping halfway from her trembling fingertips, but his tone became more gentle:
"Otherwise, why would you specially prepare this gift?"
When Qin Ying opened the door, she saw two people sitting opposite each other in the living room, and Wei Zhuolan saying "sincerely" gently.
Her nails dug deep into her palms, and the suffocating feeling of being forcibly kissed in the office yesterday suddenly surged up.
Under the warm yellow light of the living room, the Propaganda Department badge on Wei Zhuolan's collar glowed coldly, just like the calculating edge in his eyes.
Fu Hanting sat opposite him, her earlobes red as blood, clutching a nursing manual.
She was stunned when footsteps came from the inner room. Xu Jinshu came out with a half-finished sweater, the ball of yarn swaying on her wrist.
"Yingying is back!"
She glanced at Wei Zhuolan in the living room and smiled gently:
"It's lunchtime now. Teacher Wei rarely comes by, why don't you stay for a quick meal?"
Wei Zhuolan stood up calmly, with a respectful and humble attitude:
"Thank you, Aunt Xu, for your hospitality. I'd better obey your command."
His gaze turned to Qin Ying's pale face again, and his voice was light:
"Comrade Qin Ying is out of school?"
The simple courtesy made Qin Ying feel a chill.
The corners of his lips curled up slightly, and his eyes fell on her face unscrupulously, with greed and complacency.
Fu Hanting stood up shyly and said to Qin Ying:
"Sister-in-law is back!"
She was a little flustered when she stood up, and knocked over the teacup on the table, spilling tea all over the table.
Such a rash action suddenly made her secretly annoyed. As she hurried to the kitchen to get the rag for cleaning, she stole a few glances at Wei Zhuolan.
"Hello, Teacher Wei!"
Qin Ying gritted her teeth and greeted him, not daring to look at Wei Zhuolan. She just wanted to greet him quickly and go upstairs.
“Being a medical student is hard work.”
Wei Zhuolan suddenly spoke, his fingertips running across the medical journal on the table.
Suddenly, he chuckled and deliberately revealed the corner of his lip that was bitten by Qin Ying yesterday:
"Comrade Qin Ying doesn't look well."
Qin Ying wanted to say hello and leave, but she heard him making small talk.
If you act too cold, it would be abnormal.
She pulled the corners of her mouth and laughed dryly:
"Thank you, Teacher Wei, for your concern. I'm fine."
She thought that without Wei Zhuolan's harassment at school, the day would be much easier.
Although there was still no news from Fu Hanzhou, Xiaocheng could clearly feel that her mood was not as heavy as it had been in the past two days.
Because no matter what, the problems we have been facing have been solved.
Unexpectedly, I saw Wei Zhuolan as soon as I came back. He just resigned yesterday and today he was sitting on the rattan chair in her house.
It's really haunting.
Just as she was about to go upstairs, Fu Hanting came out of the kitchen with a rag and looked at Qin Ying and said:
"Sister-in-law, I'll go get you a cup of hot water..."
“…No need to bother.”
Qin Ying wanted to curb her enthusiasm, she didn't want to stay in the living room.
When passing by Wei Zhuolan, he tripped over him without leaving a trace.
She staggered and held onto the back of the sofa, and heard a low whisper above her head:
"You can't hide!"
A warm breath swept past my ears, and the footsteps of Fu Hanting who came back with a cup of water suddenly quickened.
Wei Zhuolan deliberately raised his voice and asked with a mixture of genuine and fake concern:
"How is the new counselor? Is he dedicated to you?"
Qin Ying glanced at him and saw a smug look in his eyes, so she knew he did it on purpose.
Where is the new counselor?
The counselor of Class 2 also teaches Class 1, and she doesn't believe Wei Zhuolan doesn't know about it.
She was too lazy to answer the question even though she knew the answer, and retorted:
"Teacher Wei has been transferred, but he still cares about the school. He is really hardworking."
Qin Ying turned her eyes away, avoiding the scab on the corner of his lip.
The suffocating feeling in the office yesterday still lingered on his skin, but now the man was smiling and reaching for the jasmine tea on the table:
"For some people, all the hard work is worth it."
You shouldn't open your mouth!
This is to pass the message to him.
Fu Hanting placed the water cup in front of her and said happily and shyly:
"Sister-in-law, Teacher Wei said the Propaganda Department has just received a batch of Italian picture albums..."
