Chapter 21
At that time, my wife's health was even worse. Not only could she not get pregnant, but she even had difficulty having sex. His wife cried and asked if they wanted a divorce. He held her hand and said: There will be no children, unless I die.
His wife was so moved that not long after, she handed over all the family's real estate, cash, financial assets, and her several million dowry to Gao Jichang - she had no energy, and this was the only way she could repay her husband's love.
Gao Jichang suddenly had a lot of money, but he was always very frugal with money. He would not waste it without reason, nor would he tell others about it. He simply bought a two-bedroom apartment not far from the school for his own use, and three apartments in the city center for rent. Money can make money. His wife's dowry soon became a secret property under his name. After that, every year I would take screenshots of the tampered stock account and show them to my wife. After a few years, I lost most of the money and the account was balanced.
At that time, Gao Jichang was still very young and handsome, and his charm as a campus idol was still the same as before. He never mentioned his wife at school, and many teachers thought he was single.
The first girl who was nice to him was in the first year of high school. At that time, the employment and economic environment were still good, children were not under much pressure, and they were not as realistic and independent as children are today. They still had a lot of naive love and idealism.
In the office on that midsummer afternoon, only Gao Jichang and the girl were in the office. The girl with fair skin and long hair put one hand on the desk, bent down to hold her ankle, and said in a weak voice: "Teacher Gao, I sprained my ankle, what should I do?"
Gao Jichang raised his head and looked coldly at the girl's self-righteous flirting.
Although the girl was bold, she didn't think too much and didn't even figure out what she wanted. She only knew that all the girls thought Teacher Gao was so handsome, and his cold and gloomy temperament was exactly the same as the domineering president in the novels. I heard he is still single.
And the girl always felt that the way Gao Jichang looked at her was different from the way he looked at others. She felt that he would always look at her a few more times, with some emotion hidden in his eyes, but he always turned his face away in the end, as if he was suppressing something.
The girl began to lose her patience as she had hopes and aspirations in her heart.
She just wanted to have a love affair, one that was romantic, forbidden, and reckless like in the stories. As for the future, she hasn't thought that far ahead.
But she didn't know what Gao Jichang saw.
He saw the girl's skin as pure as milk, the down on her lips, her dark eyes, her slender limbs without a trace of fat, and her graceful figure. He suddenly realized that the girl in front of him was so young, even younger than his suitors in college.
His father had played with such a young girl, the female worker who entered the factory at the age of sixteen - this thought popped into Gao Jichang's mind.
At that moment, Gao Jichang still felt fear and hesitation in his heart. He was afraid that if he really did take action, the news would get out and he would be disgraced. He was also afraid of his father-in-law's wrath. He also thought, as a teacher, this is my student, she is not an adult, she has no judgment and independent personality, she wants to go the wrong way, I should lead her onto the right path.
But...why should I keep sacrificing myself? He thought.
When I was a child, for my mother's selfishness and my father's face, I endured that chaotic family with a mere appearance but no real intention; when I was in college, for the sake of my future, I did not pursue a beautiful girl who was truly worthy of me, but stayed with a mediocre and sickly guy. I haven’t even been in a real relationship, and now, I can’t even have sex or have children of my own.
Are my wife’s family worthy of me? I was promised to become a teacher in a prestigious university, with support and promotion all the way, but in the end, I was demoted to this shabby school.
My father-in-law didn't really help me at all. He just wanted me to stay with that useless daughter and continue to devote my life to her.
In this case, there is a girl who loves me and she is willing, so why can't I pursue love? Satisfy yourself?
After all, there will always be girls who love me.
And love, no matter when and where, is innocent.
…
Gao Jichang turned his head away, not looking at the girl's thin ankles and the faint lines showing through her T-shirt when she bent over. He said, "You shouldn't talk to me like that. I'm your teacher."
He is very adept at retreating in order to advance.
The girl, whose mind was full of love and who gave him the halo of the male protagonist, only saw his forbearance and helplessness. She mustered up her courage, gave him a quick kiss on the cheek, and ran away.
Then, just like in the novel, before she could run out, he grabbed her hand and sealed it with a kiss.
…
Gao Jichang had some genuine feelings for his first teacher-student relationship, but his purpose was also very clear. Little girls in love are very easy to please, not to mention that Gao Jichang is sincere most of the time and generous with his money. It didn’t take much effort to coax her into bed. Just a few words like “Do you love me?”, “I just hug her and do nothing else” and “I really can’t bear it any longer” were enough.
Gao Jichang hadn't had sex for several years, and he was so excited that he couldn't control himself. There was a time when they were even together every day. He was like a grown beast. The first girl is actually no different from Zhang Xiyu at the end. She longs for care in the name of love and is ignorant. Sometimes I clearly feel that something is wrong, but I am unwilling to think about it deeply, or I am brainwashed and suppressed by his adult words and teacher's authority.
However, Gao Jichang has always been very cautious. Every time they met, they were at his house outside the school. He always wore a condom or asked her to take emergency contraceptive pills. Acting more and more like a stranger in school. The girl's parents work away from home and she only has a grandmother who plays cards all day long. No one cares about her when she doesn't go home for many days.
After the college entrance examination, the girl, who originally had poor grades, naturally failed to pass. At that time, Gao Jichang already had a second new target, and he was tired of this girl. No matter how young and fresh the body is, after two years of playing, it will also give off the smell of maturity and decay.
Gao Jichang got rid of the girl easily. He told her that his wife had discovered their relationship - Gao Jichang confessed his wife's existence to her a year and a half after they had been together. He cried and told her that if he didn't break up, he would not only lose his job but also be ruined.
The girl chose to forgive and leave. In fact, at that time, the girl herself also wanted to leave, and she couldn't explain how she felt. As she grew older and the relationship deteriorated, she realized that she didn't love this person that much, and the same went for him. When they had explained everything clearly, she even felt a sense of relief.
Gao Jichang gave the girl some money, and the girl had no more complaints and went south to work.
