Chapter 15: Love Letter

  Liu Ya Qian walked to the water pool on the left side of the dormitory building, where there were many students. Liu Ya Qian thought they were playing with water and approached them, only to find out that these students were washing clothes and socks.

  Although lower-grade students have dorm teachers who are generally responsible for helping them with washing and cleaning, students in fourth grade and above do it themselves.

  Liu Ya Qian was deeply moved by this scene.

  These private school students, these children who are mostly left-behind kids, how hard they work!

  Studies and life, one must also learn to take care of oneself. This is something that city kids can't experience at all.

  Liu Yuyu was also there. Liu Ya Qian walked over.

  "Liú Yùyù." Liú Yǎqiàn called out intimately.

  "Teacher Liu!" Liu Yuyu didn't stop what she was doing with her hands, she felt a little shy, a little nervous, and a little happy.

  "Polishing shoes?" Liu Ya Qian asked with a smile.

  "Uh-huh."

  Liu Ya Qian: "How come you're washing yourself? Don't you need a life teacher to wash for you?"

  "It's okay." Liu Yuyu replied very tactfully.

  "Ah, let me help you." Liu Ya Qian said.

  "It's okay, it's okay, just forget it." Liu Yuyu didn't dare let the teacher come.

  Liu Ya Qian also became polite.

  Liu Ya Qian stroked Liu Yu Yu's head and paused for a moment before saying, "You guys really have it tough, at school like this, and when you go home? When you go home, don't you get to take a break from doing things yourself?"

  "I'm even busier when I get home, I have to cook, wash clothes, buy groceries and clean the house." Liu Yuyu said with a smile.

  "My goodness, how can your parents treat you like this? Look at your hands, it's already several months into the year and they still have frostbite." Liu Ya Qian pitied and touched Liu Yu Yu's hand, such a lovely and pretty little girl, yet with a pair of "aged" hands.

  "There's only me and grandma at home." Liu Yuyu replied.

  "Where... are your dad and mom?" Liu Ya Qian didn't dare listen anymore.

  "They all went out to work and will only be back for Chinese New Year." Liu Yuyu replied.

  Liu Ya Qian let out a sigh of relief. Liu Ya Qian patted her chest and said, "Are you usually at home with your grandmother?"

  Liu Yuyu: "Uh-huh."

  Liu Ya Qian quickly grabbed a handful of clothes from the basin next to Liu Yu Yu and helped out.

  "Teacher, your hands are so beautiful." Liu Yuyu was shocked.

  Liu Ya Qian's hand, with pale pink nail polish on her fingernails, wore a gold ring on the index finger of her right hand and a silver chain on her left wrist, paired with those delicate jade-like fingers, sheep fat white palm and back of the hand, making Liu Yu Yu feel shocked and amazed.

  Liu Ya Qian quickly withdrew her hand and was about to say something, but a sob choked back the words that didn't come out, and she walked away.

  ……

  Around eight o'clock, the school started to drive students into their dormitories. Liu Yuyu had not finished washing her clothes yet, and Liu Ya Qian personally guarded her, not allowing Director Ma to hurry these children who were doing laundry.

  Director Ma "dared not" provoke Liu Ya Qian, so he had no choice but to agree.

  Liu Ya Qian let Liu Yu Yu and several other girls wash the dishes, she went to the back alley behind the teaching building to take a look, there were often students hiding there, doing who-knows-what. They had a lot of fun playing cards, they could stay hidden for half a day without coming out.

  ……

  The cave was dark, Liu Ya Qian turned on her phone's flashlight.

  Just as she was about to take a photo, Liu Ya Qian suddenly wanted to shout...

  A hand covered Liu Ya Qian's mouth.

  Wow!

  "Let go!" Liu Ya Qian shook off Hu Jie's hand.

  Suddenly, Hu Jie didn't retreat but instead moved forward, his hands pressed against the wall, trapping Liu Ya Qian within the range of his arms.

  "Hu Jie, what are you doing!" Liu Ya Qian couldn't believe her eyes.

  "Liu teacher, actually, I've been waiting for you here. I knew you'd come," Hu Jie said.

  What! This stinky little brat...

  "What are you doing?! Are you asking for a beating?!" Liu Ya Qian said.

  "You want to hit me again? Alright, I've dropped my pants." Hu Jie sneered.

  Liu Ya Qian looked at Hu Jie, for a moment, thinking she was having hallucinations. Is this real? She, a teacher, was actually being... Did this little brat want to...

  "Teacher Liu, you are very beautiful." Hu Jie's eyes became distant.

  Shout, or not shout? Liu Ya Qian struggled in her heart.

  This is a student in his own class, and he himself is the teacher. Does he still need to shout for help, saying someone is being indecent?

  Liu Ya Qian was struggling inwardly.

  "Teacher Liu, are you afraid of me?"

  Hu Jie's question triggered Liu Ya Qian's resistance. She suddenly pushed Hu Jie, but found herself wrong, and Hu Jie was standing so steadily.

  Is it because I didn't try hard enough?

  The camera panned out, and Hu Jie had one leg in front, the other bent and squatting to one side, his body leaning forward, with both hands propped against the wall. Liu Ya Qian's slender figure was just right next to his arms.

  Hu Jie stared at Liu Ya Qian, Liu Ya Qian felt Hu Jie's breathing, she turned her head to one side and warned: "Hu Jie, if you dare..."

  "I won't dare anymore... Teacher Liu, from now on I won't dare to cause any more trouble for you. Yesterday, because of me, Director Jiang was fired, but you didn't betray me. Teacher Liu, I'm deeply grateful, Hu Jie will never forget this great kindness!"

  Liu Ya Qian turned her head and looked at Hu Jie, with a gaze that meant, "You think too much, kid."

  Hu Jie continued: "From now on, the order of the class will be handed over to me. You say, what else do you want, I'll agree."

  Liu Ya Qian: "Can you study hard? Getting good grades would make me feel like I haven't wasted my efforts on you."

  Hu Jie smiled: "Teacher Liu, you're welcome."

  After finishing speaking, Hu Jie let go of his arms.

  Liu Ya Qian tidied up her clothes, patted the dust off her back and looked at Hu Jie, saying: "Next time can you not use this method to find me for a talk?"

  Hu Jie: "I didn't think so either, did Liu Yuyu not give you the little note?"

  Liu Ya Qian: "Uh...... what was written on it again, I forgot."

  Hu Jie: "Can you forget this? I wrote to let you come here to find me, I have something to give you."

  "Why did you get Liu Yuy to pass me a note, can't you do it yourself?" But in her heart, Liu Ya Qian thought, Liu Yu Yu didn't mention anything at all. This girl is precocious, perhaps these left-behind children are all precocious. The education of these children must be different from those city kids.

  Liu Ya Qian feels that there are flaws in these educations now.

  "What thing?"

  Hu Jie pulled out a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to Liu Ya Qian, saying "This."

  When Liu Ya Qian opened it to take a look, it turned out to be an apology letter. However, it was written very ambiguously. Is this a "love letter"? My god! A teacher-student romance? No way!

  Liu Ya Qian secretly laughed to herself: What's wrong with me? I'm being targeted by people of all ages! From Old Man Cao, the chairman, to this little brat, why are they all fixated on me?! It's really ridiculous!

  Look at Hu Jie again, he has already run out of the way.

  Liu Ya Qian smiled and shook her head, finally exhaling a rough breath. Liu Ya Qian never breathed heavily in front of people, that would be very unladylike. Liu Ya Qian was more particular than anyone else, no matter what the situation or who was present, she always had to maintain her ladylike image.

  "Teacher Liu, what's wrong?" Director Ma suddenly appeared mysteriously.

  Liu Ya Qian calmly said: "Nothing's wrong. Let's see if there are any students here."

  Director Ma: "You're off work, come to my office to sign something."

  Working for one day is ten yuan. Liu Ya Qian is so tired!

  Back in her dormitory, Liu Ya Qian fell onto the bed with a thud, without even changing out of her clothes, and immediately fell asleep.

  Tonight, Liu Ya Qian forgot to call her mom.

  The next day I woke up... To be exact, it was early in the morning of the second day that I was woken up.

  Something happened in school again!

  This matter was made a big fuss about and almost got reported to the police.

  What's going on! All I saw was Director Ma scolding his daughter on the playground. At this time, it had just dawned and Director Ma had already started warming up his voice...
