Song Ci threw the teaching plan onto the table and said, “Why does the new teacher only have lessons in the morning? And the lessons are all at ten o’clock?”
“Eh, I heard that she was graduated from a famous overseas university and has a PhD.” Another teacher whose last name was Zhang comforted her, “Don’t bother about that. We all have classes in the morning except for the elderly!”
The first lessons in the morning were at eight o’clock, which meant they had to set out from home at seven o’clock if they had cars. If they took the school bus, they had to set out at half past six. No teachers wanted to teach the first lessons and the school arranged the first lessons for them using an average.
Therefore, the first day Chen Chen was there, she made all the other teachers envious, since all her classes were after ten o’clock!
“What’s so different to have a PhD? I wonder what background she has, or else she would be unable to get such a great treatment.”
From the door came Headmaster Zhang’s voice, “Miss Chen, this is the office. Chemistry teachers have another one in the laboratory building because they have to do expriments. You can choose by yourself then.”
Chen Chen followed the headmaster into the office and saw teachers inside.
“This is Miss Zhang who teaches physics and Miss Song who teaches politics,” Headmaster Zhang said warmly, “Come here, let me introduce you. This is the new chemistry teacher. She is Miss Chen and she teaches twelfth grade.”
Song Ci smiling stretched out her hand and said, “Welcome, Miss Chen seems to be younger than me and can teach twelfth grade at such a young age. You must be really qualified!”
“I have no teaching experience. You shouldn’t say that.” Chen Chen said modestly, completely ignoring the envy in Song Ci’s words.
The other, Miss Zhang, shook hands with her as well. When the Headmaster left and Chen Chen was about to go to class, Song Ci approached her and asked, “Did you know Headmaster Zhang?”
“Of course!” Chen Chen nodded, “Isn’t he our headmaster?”
“I didn’t mean that.” Song Ci was quite unhappy and thought she was pretending, “I mean, do you have any special relations with Headmaster Zhang? Or why did he bring you here in person?”
Chen Chen rolled her eyeballs and shook her head silently, “Nothing special. I told him that I couldn’t find the way. Then he brought me here.” She tilted her head to look at Song Ci and asked, “Is there anything wrong with that?”
“Ha, of course not. I just asked about it in passing.” Seeing that she couldn’t get any information from Chen Chen, Song Ci didn’t want to talk to her anymore. She said, “Get to your class now. Don’t be late in your first day.”
Chen Chen took a deep breath outside of the classroom and then pushed the door in. There was an instant burst of surprised sighs.
“See, I said she was a beauty!”
“She seems to be younger than us, doesn’t she?”
“That’s because she’s pretty!”
Chen Chen pretended she couldn’t hear any of the comments. Bear had previously told her that all the children there were well-behaved, unlike those of the general society. So Chen Chen wasn’t worried. She stood in front of the dais and glanced at the students.
They were all dressed in military styled uniforms. Their hair was in accordance with the standard in the troops; even the girls had short hair, which was reassuring indeed.
“Hello, everyone, I’m the new chemistry teacher here. My family name is Chen, and my name is Chen Chen!”
“Haha…”
The name brought up the students’ laughter. Chen Chen wrote her name on the blackboard, “I know what you’re laughing about. It means the morning sunlight!”
“Hi, Miss Chen!” A few of the boys yelled.
Chen Chen nodded. “Hi, I’m not too older than you. So if you have anything you don’t understand, you can ask me for help.” She turned on the projector and said, “Now let’s begin.”
Although Chen Chen had never taught a class before, she was very proficient in the knowledge of chemistry and talked wildly about it. So after finishing the class, all the students had a very good impression of her. She finished the class with the roll-call according to the rules.
Chen Chen held the list of names and looked at the students once she called out a name. When she came across them outside and they greeted her, she had to have an impression.
“Wang Haibo.”
“I’m here!”
Chen Chen lifted her head and saw a boy who was at the last row, who stood up and smiled at her. Chen Chen murmurred inside that it was a familiar face; maybe she had seen it before…
After the roll-call, several girls approached her. A girl with big eyes asked, “Miss, I heard that you have a PhD, is that so?”
“Yes!” Xin Qing remembered her. She was the monitor in the class, whose name was Cui Ying. She had a lovely face.
Cui Ying asked curiously, “Then why didn’t you go to those famous schools, to teach classes which are likely to cultivate PhDs?”
“Um, that’s because your school offered good accommodations…” Chen Chen definitely couldn’t say that. She thought for a moment and said, “It’s because I admire soldiers from a young age!”
“Hahaha!” Those girls were all smiling. “Miss, you’re so lovely!”
Chen Chen smiled even happier. She replied, “You are lovely too.” When she was walking out of the teaching building, someone called her from behind.
“Miss Chen!”
She didn’t react. Chen Chen didn’t realize her status and continued to walk with her head lowered.
“Miss Chen!” The voice got louder and then Chen Chen stopped; she saw that familiar face looking at her warmly.
“Wang Haibo?” That seemed to be his name…
The boy walked up to her, “Miss Chen! You want to go to the school gate to wait for the car, right? I’ll take you there!”
“You… how did you know?” Chen Chen was scared. Were there Jiang Rui’s people at the school?
“I’m Scar’s younger brother!”
…
So, a few minutes later, Chen Chen was chatting with Scar’s younger brother at the school gate.
“What did your brother tell you?”
“My brother told me to take good care of you. If anyone tries to attack you, I’ll kill that person.”
Chen Chen looked at him and said, “This is a school. It may be troublesome to kill someone, don’t you think?”
“It doesn’t matter. My brother told me that hurting you meant hurting their master. The God of War is my idol. I won’t let anyone hurt him!” Wang Haibo’s excited eyesight made Chen Chen dizzy.
“Have you told anyone else about my station?” Chen Chen suddenly recalled that if other people knew she was Jiang Rui’s nominal wife, she would be unable to stay there anymore.
Wang Haibo patted on his chest and guaranteed, “Of course not. My brother said he would kill me if I spill the fact.”
A freak’s follower and a freak’s fan were both freaks.
Chen Chen shivered. Chen Chen didn’t notice a private car that had arrived.
“Miss Jiang!” Scar’s head was seen. He said, “Our master asked me to pick you up!”
“Bro!” Wang Haibo excitedly pulled the door open, “Don’t worry. I’ll protect the God of War’s woman!”
The sentence about the God of War’s woman made Chen Chen feel that she definitely didn’t want to have lunch that day…
After she got into the car, she asked, “Why did you drive a private car here?”
“It would be too eye-catching to drive a military car here, and others will be suspicious about your identity,” Scar said on behalf of his master, “Our master wanted to pick you up by himself. But he was worried that other people might find out. So it will be Xiao Si’s and my duty to be your drivers!”
Chen Chen thanked him smillingly, “Then I’ll have to trouble you. I’ll give you a treat on the weekend!”
“That will be great!” Scar wasn’t courteous at all about it.
Since there were Chen Chen and Tuan Zi around Jiang Rui, they thought their master had become easy-going and there was a picture of the three of them on the table. Of course, there used to be only Tuan Zi’s photo, but then it was changed to the photo of the whole family by Bear.
On occasion, he would ask them where fun could be found. That morning, he asked Scar for a good brand of children’s clothes. Scar responsibly made a list for Jiang Rui, on which there were not only brands of children’s clothes but also many top women clothes and accessories.
Although Jiang Rui said he was too leisurely afterwards and asked him to circle the ground for twenty times, he saw Jiang Rui looked through the whole list and recorded all of it.
“Do I eat with you or will I eat alone at noon?” Chen Chen asked a question which would affect her appetite.
Scar replied immediately, “You’ll definitely eat with master!”
That would bring down her appetite…
Chen Chen sighed. She leaned against her seat and didn’t want to move.
Scar drove the car directly to the diner. It was lunch time, but there was nobody present. She walked in and only saw Jiang Rui sitting there alone.
“Master, I’ve brought Miss Jiang back.” Scar made a face to Chen Chen and then ran out.
Jiang Rui raised his head and offered, “Sit down.”
“Your soldiers are strong enough that they don’t have to eat?” Chen Chen sat across to him, “It is said that soldiers have good meals, don’t they?”
No, she suddenly jumped up, “How did I forget? I went to the school for the meals. Why did I come here to eat with you?”
“You can go back now.” Jiang Rui waved his hand and a soldier carried along four dishes and a soup.
Chen Chen saw that and her mouth was almost drooling. Those were all of Sichuan Cuisine, which were really appealling in a red color.
When she was eating halfway, she was still thinking about the meals at the school. She said, “All right. From now on, I’ll eat here on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, and eat at school at Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday!”
“Are you here to teach or to eat?” Jiang Rui looked at her mouth. Her little lips were covered in oil, which seemed so tempting that he wanted to have a bite.
Chen Chen rolled her eyes at him, “Haven’t you heard that it is the biggest thing to have good meals? I can’t teach anyone well with an empty stomach!”
Having finished her statement, Chen Chen was prepared to be refuted. But Jiang Rui didn’t say anything after quite a while. He just ate slowly. She wanted to add something but she persuaded herself to stop talking and continued to eat!
Feeling full, Chen Chen rubbed her belly. She asked, “I should go back, or should I wait for you?”
“You want me to go back?”
Chen Chen looked at him strangely, “Aren’t we supposed to pick up Tuan Zi?”
“It is only one in the afternoon.”
“I know!” Chen Chen took up another piece of apple, “I mean I’ll wait for you if you pick up Tuan Zi. And I’ll go home now if Bear goes instead.”
Jiang Rui closed his mouth, then added, “I have a meeting to attend this afternoon. I’ll ask Scar to take you back, then.”
“Okay!” Chen Chen nodded delightedly. Jiang Rui saw her being so happy and somehow became uncomfortable again. He stood up with a cold face and said, “I’ll go now.”
“Bye!” Chen Chen waved her hands, “Tell Scar to find me here!”
She was in a good mood, but she didn’t know Song Ci was complaining to her cousin about her.
“The new teacher whose last name is Chen, is a little girl, but she has a better treatment than any of us. Huh, just looking at her, I wonder what relationship she has!”
Song Meili lay in bed tiredly. She said, “Another woman whose last name is Chen. All women named Chen are bitches!”
