There Are Always Teachers Who Want To Ask Out Parents - Chapter 10
As soon as the kiss went deeper, Qi Yan let go of Lu Zhiqiao at the right time, and seeing her restrained and suppressed expression, she suddenly felt an indescribable feeling in her heart.
She said that she is the child’s teacher, which means that in her opinion, two people should not have a relationship beyond the established scope. That night was an accident, and it can be regarded as nothing happened, and it is impossible to continue like this.
Why not? Qi Yan couldn’t understand.
When she first entered the school, her mentor told her that there are three bottom lines that cannot be touched, one is accepting gift money, the other is beating and scolding students, and the third is teacher-student love.
Teenagers are not deeply involved in the world, their thinking is relatively simple, and they are ignorant. In a relatively closed campus environment, the only people they come into contact with most often are classmates and teachers. In a sense, teachers are their “one piece of sky”, so It is easy to develop admiration for their teachers and take this admiration as love.
Feelings in an unequal relationship are like a mirror image and cannot be counted.
But she and Lu Zhiqiao are not in a teacher-student relationship, they are both single, and have never touched any moral bottom line, but for some reason, she keeps hearing “violating morality” in the other party’s mouth.
The two sat quietly, staring at each other silently. Lu Zhiqiao’s thin lips were half-opened, and she was panting lowly with a red face, so the silence at this moment was very clear. After a long while, she looked away, “If there’s nothing else, I’ll go back.”
“Let’s go to Ninghu Park to shoot this weekend?” Qi Yan grabbed the back of her hand, her voice calm.
“I have a business trip.”
“You always seem to be very busy.”
These words seemed to hit Lu Zhiqiao’s weak point, her grasped hand curled up, her eyes were filled with infinite desolation, but it was only for a moment, soon it was clear again. “It’s a very important work, I have to go.”
She rarely said a few more words, even if it didn’t contain any useful information. Qi Yan looked at her drooping eyelashes, suddenly became greedy, and asked softly, “When will you be back?”
“About next Monday.”
“You’re not at home, so Lu Wei will be alone?”
Lu Zhiqiao frowned slightly, her curled fingers clenched into fists, and with a little force, her nails poked into her palm, “Well, she can take care of herself.”
The hand that wrapped her was also tight, and the temperature was scorching. She came back to her senses and struggled to pull away. Qi Yan wanted to say something more, but she swallowed the words, and let go of her hand little by little as she struggled…
…
Autumn in Jiangcheng was cold and rainy, and the temperature dropped seven or eight degrees after the rain, and the cold air was menacing , the sky was buried by thick and heavy clouds, and the sun was evasive for the whole week.
A few children in the class caught a cold, and they coughed one after another during class. Qi Yan told the parents in the group to pay attention to their children’s health. She also put on warm fleece pants, and the teachers in the office even had a thermos. Uninterrupted hot water every day.
When she was still young, she was not afraid to drink cold water in the winter, and she needed to keep in style with her clothes regardless of the weather but now she is almost thirty, she gradually began to pay attention to her health.
There were a few showers over the weekend, and it was freezing cold outside.
Qi Yan sent the car to be repaired, then went to her parents’ house for dinner, and took a taxi back around three o’clock in the afternoon. It didn’t rain when she went out, but now the rain is falling outside.
The taxi stopped at the gate of the complex, and the window glass was covered with fog. She paid the fare and got out of the car, held an umbrella and walked in. As soon as she entered the unit door, she saw a thin figure standing in front of the elevator, waiting for the lift to come down.
“Lu Wei?”
The little girl stood there with her head bowed, wearing a purple autumn dress, holding the schoolbag in front of her with both hands, her shoulders trembling slightly, she turned her head when she heard the sound, her beautiful and white face was covered with tears. There were water drops, and the wet hair on the girls forehead stuck to the skin, which was very embarrassing.
“Hi, Teacher Qi.” She spoke with a strong nasal voice, her voice was a little hoarse, and she looked at Qi Yan with her dark eyes in surprise.
Only then did Qi Yan realize that she was drenched all over, like a drowned chicken, she hurriedly stepped forward to support her shoulders, frowning and said, “Where have you been? How did you get soaked like this?”
“I forgot to bring my umbrella during piano lessons.”
Lu Wei said truthfully, sniffed, and coughed twice after speaking.
Qi Yan was taken aback for a moment, the child looked well during class on Friday, and she hadn’t seen her with a cold like this, but now she was caught in the rain, accidentally causing complications. She was about to ask why her mother didn’t pick her up but she suddenly remembered that Lu Zhiqiao said a few days ago that she was going on a business trip on the weekend and the child will be home alone.
The elevator stopped on the first floor, and the door slowly opened.
Qi Yan took the girl in and went up to the ninth floor, “Isn’t your mother not at home?” She said as she led her to 901 with an anxious tone, “Take off your wet clothes quickly and take a hot bath.”
Lu Wei glanced at her in surprise, wondering how the teacher knew that her mother was not there, and turned her head to the door, feeling a little panicked, “Ms. Qi, I can do it myself…”
Since Qi Yan confiscated her mobile phone in class last time, and let her mother take it, she became a little afraid of her, even though her mother didn’t say any words of reproach when she came back that day. In her heart, a teacher is a teacher after all. No matter how beautiful they are, or how gentle they are occasionally, their relationship will never be equal. If they can’t be friends, they won’t be able to get along comfortably.
The girl’s voice was like a mosquito, but Qi Yan instantly snap back.
Her mentor also warned her that it is enough to be a teacher and do her duty well, and she must not be overwhelmed by maternal heart and control too much or too leniently. It’s hard to argue.
As a teacher, she should fulfill her responsibilities in the classroom, and after class, she has no need to take care of the students.
After all, the status of a teacher is different today than it used to be.
Qi Yan pulled her hand that was holding the kid’s shoulder, hanging in the air, although she held herself back, she still can’t help but be worried and told Lu Wei, “Dry your hair immediately after taking a shower, turn on the air conditioner, remember to take cold medicine, if you have any If you feel uncomfortable, just call me, or go to my unit to find me.”
After speaking, she smiled and patted the girl’s head.
Lu Wei nodded obediently: “Okay.”
She watched the girl enter the room and close the door. She stood there staring blankly until her legs felt a little numb, then she woke up in her daze and turned to go home.
The days in autumn and winter are short, and it gets dark before six o’clock. The tall buildings in the city are lit up with lights, and there is still a cold rain outside, and a layer of misty water vapor is condensed on the windows.
Qi Yan prepared her meal, thinking of Lu Wei that was alone at home, she prepared to call her over for dinner. A few steps away, she just stepped out of the house, followed the light and looked at the number 901 on the opposite house, her legs froze in place.
Mentor’s words echoed in her ears repeatedly, constantly ringing her alarm bell.
She once had a kind heart, and took the initiative to send a boy who was far away home. As a result, the boy lied about his address and went to another place to play outside after she left. The parents found that the child hadn’t come home after they got off work, so they called the head teacher, and then rushed to the school to find someone. After watching the surveillance, they insisted that she was plotting against the students, while she was having dinner at home.
This incident alarmed the higher up. Fortunately, the boy went home by himself and explained the truth to his parents, so the misunderstanding was resolved.
She still has lingering fears.
——Qi Yan, put away your naive heart, other people’s children have nothing to do with you.
The so-called “others” are not others, but Lu Zhiqiao. Although they have no relationship, they are not strangers either.
Qi Yan held on to the wall with her hands, and the cold touch shook her bones. She withdrew her hand, her eyelashes trembling under the bright light, and finally gave up the idea and returned to the room.
The rain has not stopped, and the deeper the night, the heavier it falls.
It was approaching ten o’clock, Qi Yan finished her preparations and went to bed early, scrolling her phone while applying a facial mask. In the home-school group, several parents were discussing homework. She glanced roughly, and quit without saying a word.
There has never been a red dot in the chat box with the star mark on the top. After adding friends that day, except for the photo of the car sent by Lu Zhiqiao, the two have never chatted. The message page time shows Tuesday, and several days have passed without knowing it.
Countless times she wanted to say something, she repeatedly clicked on the keyboard with her fingertips, edited and deleted one sentence, but never sent it.
Lu Zhiqiao’s circle of friends is very clean, but also very boring. There are no photos or daily routines, and she only reposts some news links every now and then. From the content, it can be roughly inferred that she is in a sales-related industry, so it is not difficult to understand why she is always so busy.
The rain outside the window made a ticking sound on the leaves, the air-conditioning heater was blowing leisurely, and the orange light by the bed lit up the whole bedroom, which was warm and soft.
Qi Yan was fascinated by staring at Lu Zhiqiao’s WeChat avatar, the large piece of elegant and noble Violet was just like her. Watching and watching, Violet gradually turned into purple clothes, she thought of Lu Wei again.
When she saw the little girl in the afternoon, she had a stuffy nose and a cough, she looked sick, and there were no adults at home, it was so pitiful, she was still not at ease.
Putting down the phone, lying down with her eyes closed for a while, she suddenly sat up like a corpse, threw off the mask on her face, threw it into the trash can, went to the bathroom to wash her face, then put on some clothes, grabbed the key and went out, and rang the door across
Even after knocking and ringing the doorbell, no one opened it for a long time.
Qi Yan was worried but thinking that the child might have fallen asleep, she didn’t knock again, and was about to turn around and go back to the room when the door suddenly opened.
A ray of light leaked out, and the room was brightly lit.
“Qi…cough cough…Ms. Qi…cough…” Lu Wei was wrapped in a thick blanket, with a sleepy expression, her whole face was so red that she looked like she was about to bleed, and she kept talking. Coughing and shaking uncontrollably.
Qi Yan frowned, raised her hand to reach her forehead.
