The Fake Marriage - C232
“No matter what, this isn’t the first time I’ve been here. If I don’t have some skill, why am I still here?” Gu Che smiled gently and picked up the ladder in his hand once again.
“Where did you get this?”
Now, he just felt bitter.
“I borrowed it from someone in the village. I don’t have any good stuff, but I do have these everyday things.” Gu Che had a few strands of hair stuck to his forehead, the early winter’s weather had also started to sweat a lot.
Ye Zichen wiped away the sweat on his forehead casually, while still maintaining a gentle and refined look.
One could tell that he was experienced with his actions.
“So that’s how it is.” Su Qi nodded in understanding as she helped Gu Che lift the ladder.
In the narrow space, the ladder was forced into the room by the slight tilt of the ladder.
“Teacher Gu, Teacher Su.”
When the children saw the two of them enter, they excitedly waved their hands.
Gu Che smiled back at the children and raised the ladder up.
“It will not leak out any more. We can continue to listen carefully.” Gu Che consoled the children, turning his head towards Su Qi, “Help me hold the ladder.”
Su Qi immediately nodded.
Gu Che nimbly climbed up the ladder, it was just that the ladder was wobbly and Su Qi, who was holding onto it, trembled when he saw it, and his heart almost jumped to his throat.
The old ladder had become mottled.
“Be careful.”
Su Qi was worried, and her eyes were filled with worry.
Gu Che was on top, raising his head, patching up the tiles on the roof, accompanied by the creaking sounds of the ladders.
Su Qi felt her palms that were holding onto the ladder begin to sweat.
“Teacher Su, do you like Teacher Gu? Otherwise, why would you care so much about her?” A clear and melodious voice rang out from below. It was unknown which child laughed, but their eyes were filled with innocence.
The words of a child were unrestrained.
Su Qi suddenly felt that the atmosphere was a little awkward.
Gu Che’s mended hands also stopped moving for a few seconds, as he said slowly, “Xiaomei, you can’t say random things. Teacher Gu and Teacher Su are very good friends, just like you and Little Hua, understand?”
Not angry, Gu Che smiled as he ‘educated’ Xiao Mei.
Below, the little girl pursed her lips, nodding as if she understood something, “But, we really like the Teacher Su, can you not let her go … …”
The children following below did not want Su Qi to leave.
Su Qi laughed with gratitude, looking at these naive and innocent children, she was inexplicably happy.
She liked these children very much. Seeing their thirst for knowledge and for the outside world, she felt sad. She felt that her life was too beautiful, and she wanted to help and give them more.
“Everyone has their own lives, there is no such thing as an endless banquet in the world, no need to be sad, fellow students. Even if Teacher Su left, we would still remember her, right?”
Gu Che had a flash of different emotions, as he spoke indifferently.
He had the image of a good teacher.
When they heard that Su Qi might leave, the children’s faces drooped down, but they still nodded in agreement.
Gu Che subconsciously looked down.
“Don’t be in a daze, hold on tight. You want me to fall off …” Gu Che who was at the top frowned and ridiculed, and fearfully looked at Su Qi who had let go of his hand.
Su Qi reacted and immediately pulled up the ladder once again.
Guilt flashed in his heart, but he didn’t dare to raise his head.
“Teacher Su, you must stay here for a few more days. Teach us a few more days.” The children spoke out reluctantly, their tones filled with love for Su Qi.
Su Qi smiled and nodded, “Don’t worry, Teacher Su will definitely stay here and accompany you guys.”
These children were innocent and innocent.
Hearing Su Qi’s words, the dozen or so children were finally overjoyed.
It was a small house. The one meter tall blackboard was hanging on the wall alone, but for them, it was all there was. They were already satisfied.
It took them over an hour to fill the gap in the roof.
When Gu Che got down from the top, his clean face was already covered with dust, making him look extremely funny.
Su Qi laughed out loud.
“What are you laughing at?”
Outside, Gu Che and Su Qi had already brought out the ladder and sat on the chair to rest.
“Your face …”
Su Qi pointed at Gu Che’s face, and the corners of his mouth curled up, “It’s dirty.”
“Oh, normal.”
Gu Che laughed indifferently, and used the corner of his clothes to wipe his face.
The first time Su Qi had met him, his image had been turned upside down.
This was the first time she met Gu Che, and she felt that he was that kind of clean and refined big boy.
Looking at it now, it was probably the first time that he had an illusion. Only, when Gu Che smiled, he still looked like a clean ray of sunlight, spotless.
“How long have you been here?”
Looking at Gu Che’s expression, it seemed that he was already very familiar with his.
Gu Che was silent for a moment, “Not for long, I will occasionally go back to visit my parents, but when I return, I will bring some things for them, the children will be very happy.”
“Never thought of leaving?”
Su Qi was surprised.
The big boy in front of her was younger than her, just the right age for that.
“I have.”
Gu Che wiped his hands, replying honestly, “But every time he sees the children’s longing eyes, he inevitably feels touched, so he decided to stay here for now. Furthermore, right now, there is no new teacher who is willing to come over, and it wasn’t easy to get you to come over, that’s why the children are reluctant to part with you.”
The space between his brows was clear, just like his name.
Looking at Gu Che, Su Qi felt a faint discomfort in her heart.
Most of them were envious of him. He could be so casual and disregard anything.
“Mm, but these kids are really good. I can tell they like you a lot.” Su Qi said seriously, with a gentle tone.
The road was still muddy and the rain had not yet dried.
Gu Che nodded.
Lowering his head, he inadvertently caught a glimpse of Su Qi’s shoes, “Wait a moment.”
Gu Che stood up and walked out. After a while, he walked in mysteriously with something in his hand.
Su Qi curiously looked at Gu Che who had walked in.
“Here.”
The thing was handed over to Su Qi.
Su Qi frowned, she did not know what it was and opened it.
It was actually a pair of shoes.
Su Qi was surprised.
He really did need a pair of shoes. He raised his head and looked at Gu Che, “New shoes?”
It was a new pair of shoes.
