Chapter 98 Waiting for the Future

  Ge Jinghang continued speaking into the phone: "Now Teacher Zhao is a bit unclear, so please ask Teacher Jin to explain it to her."

  Zhao Qiuping looked at Ge Jinghang with confusion, then took the phone handed over by Ge Jinghang, "Hello, Teacher Jin?"

  I don't know what Jin Mingmei said to Zhao Qiuping, but Zhao Qiuping's face turned icy cold and she sternly said: "So that's how it is! Teacher Jin, from now on, don't let students do such things again, it affects the school's atmosphere! Hmm, you know, so today this matter will pass, if there's a next time, I won't be so easy to talk to!"

  Ge Jinghang and Zhou Zhanling looked at each other, finally letting out a sigh of relief. It seemed that their former head teacher still had some sense of justice and was able to help them get out of trouble. Otherwise, they really didn't know what kind of situation they would be facing.

  Zhao Qiuping finished speaking and handed the phone to Ge Jinghang, but her face was still stern. She seemed to be unable to smile, not even a little bit. "You are first years, don't come to the second year teaching building again! It affects the second year seniors' serious study! They will soon be third years, at this time they can't be influenced by any external factors!"

  "Understood, Teacher Zhao!" Ge Jinghang nodded and then strode towards the staircase.

  Zhou Zhanling didn't even look at Zhao Qiuping, with a disdainful expression, and followed Ge Jinghang with big strides.

  Just as they had just walked downstairs and were about to head towards the high school building, Ge Jinghang stopped in his tracks and said helplessly: "You go to class first, I'll go explain the situation to Teacher Jin."

  "It's okay, this time she helped us, we should go thank her." Zhou Zhanling said, also looking at the teacher's office building.

  Ge Jinghang is no longer in the same class as Zhou Zhanling, and neither of them are students of Jin Mingmei's class anymore. However, there is a saying that goes, "One day as a teacher, a lifetime as a teacher." It wasn't until now that Ge Jinghang deeply understood the profundity behind these words.

  He slowly walked towards the teacher's office building, suddenly feeling that it was necessary to talk to the teacher about some things. Many times, having an adult help think things through might be better. Ge Jinghang had previously disliked communicating with teachers, but today he called Jin Mingmei with a desperate attitude, and unexpectedly Jin Mingmei didn't ask anything and helped him resolve the issue. He felt that Jin Mingmei understood and empathized with students, and such a teacher should be very rare for many students, especially for a student like Ge Jinghang who was playful and disobedient. Encountering a good teacher like Jin Mingmei was truly rare.

  Ge Jinghang went to the office, of course, and didn't stay for long. Jin Mingmei had to go teach Chinese class to the first-year science A-class students during the first period. As you know, she is a serious and responsible person who can never accept being late herself. However, when it comes to students being late, that's different. She thinks everyone should have their own thoughts and ways of doing things, which others cannot control. So if students are late for their own reasons, Jin Mingmei won't mind too much.

  Jin Mingmei knew that every child was immature and needed proper guidance. She felt that such work could not be taken lightly. And the method of guidance must be correct, what kind of method students can accept, she used that method to educate them.

  For over ten minutes, Ge Jinghang waited in the office for just over ten minutes. He told Jin Mingmei about the milk incident and also clearly recounted what had happened that morning.

  Jin Mingmei listened and naturally became entangled, such things were indeed a bit difficult to handle. However, Ge Jinghang was able to tell her such things, she really felt some surprise, at the same time also feeling extremely happy. Thinking back to when she first met Ge Jinghang, he was still an arrogant boy, holding a comic book, and had a standoff with her for a sentence before putting down the comic book, then walked out of the classroom during class, saying he was going to the bathroom.

  Unconsciously, she had become close to these mischievous students, which made her feel incredibly happy. In fact, every teacher has such a hope, wanting to gain the recognition of their students and build mutual trust with them. So Kim Min-ae was happy because many students now particularly liked her and enjoyed her classes.

  However, Ge Jinghang did not expect that Jin Mingmei was also a girl and naturally had the same thoughts as girls. So Jin Mingmei's suggestion was to leave a note explaining her intentions.

  Back in the classroom, Ge Jinghang saw a bottle of milk in his desk drawer again. It was like an old friend that came to report every morning. Ge Jinghang suddenly felt a little reluctant to part with this feeling, being able to receive a bottle of milk every morning. Of course, boys are relatively rational creatures, so Ge Jinghang still knew very clearly that one day all these things would disappear, so it was better to let himself give them up personally.

  So at dusk after school, Ge Jinghang put a note in the drawer of his desk: "I've received your kind intention, no need to send milk again. Study hard, I'll wait for you in the future."

  "I'll be waiting for you in the future" is a line from an anime that Ge Jinghang watched not long ago. Ge Jinghang didn't originally like girls' anime, but was still moved by this one. "The Girl Who Leapt Through Time" is a very ordinary yet profound anime. The male lead says to the female lead at the end, "I'll be waiting for you in the future."

  Just this sentence made Ge Jinghang silent, the future is a vague and illusory world, there are promises and persistence, but that person did not appear at that time.

  Ge Jinghang looks like a carefree young man, but that's just how it seems. Who doesn't have a confusing youth? Ge Jinghang also wants to work hard and achieve excellent results, but he hasn't been able to do so. Many times, effort doesn't necessarily lead to equal returns. Ge Jinghang would often stay up late at night doing his homework, then rush to school the next day to copy from his classmates, only to return home and compare with what he had done himself, trying to figure out where he went wrong.

  Ge Jinghang felt that he was strange, although he worked very hard, he didn't dare to let others know, for fear that his efforts would still not be rewarded with success, so he simply gave people an image of being indifferent to everything.

  Ge Jinghang put down the note and walked out of the classroom with his backpack.

  Fan Qianxu from the same class hurriedly followed behind him, patted his shoulder and smiled: "Xiao Ge, I told you before, I'll treat you to an ice cream!"

  "This can be done!" Ge Jinghang revealed a faint smile.
