Chapter 95

"You're home so early today, Xiaoyu?"

"Yeah."

She stood at the entrance, ready to bend down and change her shoes.

Paused for a moment, she looked up at her mother again.

"Aren't you busy today?"

"What's the matter?"

"I heard from my brother..."

As she spoke, she felt something was off.

"Your brother? I never mentioned anything," her mother wiped her hands and looked at her with a tilt of her head.

"Oh, well, there's a parents' meeting today..."

"What?! A parents' meeting? Today?"

Just as she suspected...

"You silly child, why didn't you tell me earlier! Is it still time to go now?"

Her mother panicked, took off her apron and hurriedly walked out of the kitchen.

"..."

She fell silent and let out a sigh.

"Mom, you don't need to go."

"Why not?"

"Brother has already gone..."

"He went to attend the parents' meeting for you?"

Her mother looked at her in disbelief.

"Yeah..."

"Hey, I thought the two of you were in cahoots? At least let us know at home!"

"I was just about to ask..."

She pouted and muttered under her breath, feeling a little aggrieved.

She actually hid it from her mother.

What was that guy thinking...

...

...

...

The long dismissal bell rang outside the window.

The parents' meeting had ended a while ago, and there were almost no people left in the hallway.

...

"Sorry to have kept you waiting for so long, Principal Wang."

In the classroom, Samson Nan hadn't left yet.

"No need to apologize, your brother did a very dutiful job," Principal Wang replied.

"Hehe, it's his responsibility."

After the parents' meeting ended, he had asked William Wei to find the director in charge of school enrollment planning.

He inquired about Raina Nan's situation...

"Thank you, Principal Wang. It's getting late now. Would you like me to treat you to a nearby meal?"

"No, no. I have children waiting for me at home."

Principal Wang stood up as he spoke.

"As for the meal, let's save it for your sister's graduation banquet. Hehe."

After saying that, he patted Samson's shoulder.

"Hehe...of course."

Samson smiled lightly, also stood up, and saw Principal Wang off. Then he returned to the classroom.

William Wei was still waiting for him there.

"Did you ask?"

"Yeah."

"How was it?"

William Wei sat on the teacher's desk and turned to look at him.

"..."

He didn't speak for a while, then responded.

"It's alright."

Or rather...

The situation was much better than he had originally estimated. When it came to Raina Nan's situation, Principal Wang also had nothing but praise.

In the recent mock exams, her grades had steadily improved, and there hadn't been a situation where female students lost momentum after entering the third year... A student like her naturally received special attention from the school.

"For a situation like your sister's, your family should broaden their horizons. There are many great universities in the country. This small place won't be able to hold her back."

That was what Principal Wang had said just now.

...

"It's pretty good, isn't it?"

William Wei asked again when he saw that he remained silent.

"Yeah."

"Why do you still look gloomy then?"

"..."

He didn't answer, stayed silent, and looked to the side.

"She won't stay by your side forever, you know..."

William Wei whispered.

Some things became easier to say when it was just the two of them.

After a while, he turned his head back.

In his black pupils, the lingering sunset outside the window reflected, calm and without much turbulence.

"You're being nosy."

Saying that, he threw the unopened bottle of mineral water in his hand to William Wei.

"Hey!"

Luckily, William Wei reacted quickly and barely caught it.

"How did you know I was about to drink water?"

William Wei exclaimed as he drank half a bottle in one gulp.

The parent meeting lasted for two hours, and he stood on the podium the whole time. It's not surprising that he didn't feel thirsty.

"You know what, being a class teacher is really physically demanding~ It's so annoying."

He complained and twisted his neck.

Afterwards, he had to stay behind to clean the blackboard and tidy up the desks and chairs.

"If you really find it annoying, you would have quit long ago~"

Samson Nan smiled and looked at him.

"......"

William Wei was momentarily stunned.

After a moment, he smiled and put his arm around Samson Nan's neck.

"You understand me the best~"

He has always been someone who does things according to his own will, and Samson Nan couldn't be more aware of that.

......

After a brief silence, William Wei spoke again.

"Samson Nan."

"Yeah?"

"Do you want to come to my office and have a look?"

"What for?"

He turned his face and looked at William Wei who suddenly said this.

"It's not easy for you to visit the school, why don't you come and visit your brother's workplace?"

"......"

What kind of reason is this?

Well, there's nothing else to do anyway....

"Sure..."

"Hehe~"

"Why are you laughing?"

"No reason~"

......

They walked along the corridor, and the second-to-last room at the end was the office for senior high third graders.

Even though it was already after school and the parent meeting had ended, the lights in the office were still on.

"Will Teacher Yun still come to the school to see us?"

"We will miss you if you're not here!"

A few students surrounded her, chatting and joking about something.

"Definitely, we will always think of you!"

"Don't make it sound like I'm about to die...."

"Haha."

"Thank you for the gifts you gave us. I will treasure them forever."

Jocelyn York held the commemorative book with blessings from all the classmates in her arms and smiled lightly.

Honestly, she wasn't very good at dealing with such occasions. She had originally planned to tidy up her things and quietly leave the school, but unexpectedly, she was stopped by the students at the door of the office...

"Teacher Yun, what are you going to do after leaving the school?"

"Well..."

She thought for a moment, then laughed helplessly while scratching her cheek.

"I haven't figured it out yet, maybe I'll be unemployed for a while, or maybe I'll become a private tutor."

"Then..."

A girl covered her mouth slightly.

"When is Teacher Yun going to get married?"

"Huh?"

She was momentarily stunned and looked up.

"Teacher Yun doesn't even have a boyfriend, why should I get married!"

The girl next to her laughed.

"......"

It's really pitiful, even the students are starting to worry about her lifelong matters...

"Do you like anyone?"

"L-Like anyone...!"

She lowered her head slightly, her eyes unintentionally looking towards the side.

"Huh~ Is it possible?"

"Who? Who? Have we met?"

"......"

"Luojia?"

A voice came from beside her ear.

She looked up.

"Samson Nan?"

She suddenly froze.

Hesitant, she looked at him from a distance.

"Why are you here?"

"I have something to do. How about you? Why haven't you gone home?"

"I, I also have something to do... Are you alone?"

She straightened her back and glanced around.

"No, I'm still with Wei..."

As he said that, he turned around.

"Huh? Where is he?"

William Wei, who was just with him a moment ago, suddenly disappeared.

"Hehe~~ Is that him? Handsome~"

"Is he here to pick up Teacher Yun?"

The girls beside them chuckled, whispering something.

"......"

She didn't say anything, her face started to feel a little hot. She turned her head slightly, avoiding his gaze.

"Well, if you have something to do, I won't disturb you then."

Seeing this situation, Samson Nan prepared to leave.

"No no no, we were just about to go home~"

"Just go ahead and chat, we'll leave!"

A few girls said, hastily putting on their backpacks and rushing out of the office.

"Mr. Yun~"

When they reached the door, they peeked back.

"Good luck!"

Sigh...

She covered her face with both hands.

Is it not chaotic enough...

...

Now there were only the two of them left in the office.

Somehow, suddenly, they didn't know what to say...

After a moment of silence, he spoke first.

"Are all of these gifts from the students?"

He walked to her desk and glanced at the various gift boxes placed on it.

"Yeah..."

"Wow~ You're quite popular!"

He chuckled at her.

"Are you underestimating me?"

She pouted, glancing at him with a hint of displeasure.

"Don’t you feel happy for me?"

"Is that so..."

She said skeptically and ran her fingers through her hair.

...

She glanced at his profile as she slightly raised her head.

His seemingly hidden gaze stayed on the pile of gifts on the table, hesitating, as if pondering something.

...

The office, with only the two of them, was quiet and seemed to amplify infinitely.

What, what should she do? She has to say something...

"Samson Nan."

After a while, she softly spoke again.

He turned his head to look at her.

"You haven't had dinner, right? Do you want to..."

"It's already this late."

He glanced at the time on his watch.

"My dog is hungry~ I have to go back."

"Huh? R-right..."

She hesitated for a moment, showing a slightly awkward smile.

It's good that she didn't say those words just now...

...

"Well then, I'll go first."

He said, turning around to leave.

...

...

"That idiot..."

The person standing at the door couldn't sit still any longer.

"Oh~ You two are still here?"

"Wei-ge? Where did you go?"

He looked at the suddenly appearing William Wei.

"Hehe, I went to the restroom."

"Isn't that disgusting..."

He glanced at him and walked toward the door.

"Goodbye~"

"Wait! Samson Nan."

William Wei looked back and called him.

"?"

He raised his head and looked at him.

"Let's have a meal together."

"Huh?"

Jocelyn York behind him finally looked up and looked at him with surprise.

"Sure... What do you want to eat?"

Samson Nan thought for a moment and didn't refuse.

"I'll lead the way. The Thai restaurant we went to last time was pretty good~"

"Oh, really?"

Thai cuisine... She seemed to really enjoy it.

He thought and took out his phone.

"Oh~"

Just as he was about to touch it, William Wei gently held his wrist.

"?"

He raised his head and looked at him.

"It'll be just the three of us today."

"..."

"We haven't had a chance to hang out together."

Saying so, William Wei looked back at Jocelyn York behind him.

"Right?"

"Huh? Um, yeah..."

As if realizing something, she hesitated and nodded.

...

Come to think of it, it's true.

Every time they go out now, it's either just the two of them or with a large group of people.

It always feels difficult to get the three of them together...

"Alright then."

He said, putting his phone back.

"Let's go~"
