Chapter 37 Section 3

The High School Affiliated to Normal University is a key middle school in the province, which recruits students from all over the province and has a large scale.On the day of arrival at school, the school arranged for these trainee teachers to live in the top floor of the student apartment.Everyone went in with their luggage and took a look. There were four people in a room. There was a desk under the loft bed. The windows were bright and clean, with plenty of light. There was an independent bathroom, which was much more complete and stylish than the dormitory of the Normal University.Everyone put away their luggage, and then listened to the school's assignment of internship grades and instructors to arrange internship matters.

Shao Yimin, Jiang Xiaolin and another boy in the same class were all assigned to the first grade, and their homeroom work instructor and teaching instructor were the same person.Teacher Li, the head teacher of Class One (Three) in Senior High, is a middle-aged woman in her forties with a lingering charm. Everyone has a very demanding type. Compared with other day schools in the city, the requirements for internship in the High School Attached to Normal University are much stricter.During the six-week internship, the trainee teacher must arrive at class at 6:40 in the morning to manage the discipline before the morning reading, listen to the lectures during the day, prepare for the trial lectures and assist in correcting the homework, and cooperate with the dormitory administrator to manage the dormitory after the self-study class at night. That is to say, there is basically no spare time.

In the blink of an eye, it was the end of October, and it was Wednesday. After school in the afternoon, Shao Yimin asked Teacher Li for leave, saying that he had to go out for something, and that he could not participate in evening self-study and bedtime checks at night.Teacher Li obviously doesn't like this kind of asking for leave without a clear reason, but Shao Yimin's performance has always been neither talkative nor dull, he is serious in his work, and the lesson plans he wrote can also catch her eyes, so she nodded in agreement. Shao Yimin put on her backpack, had a simple dinner outside, and then took a bus to Su Zhe's home.The sky has completely darkened, and there is a thin drizzle, which is a bit cool.She took out the key card to enter the community, and then pressed the code to open the unit door. She went up to the fourth floor, took out two keys tied with red knots, and opened the door with the silver-gray one. After changing into her slippers, she opened the doors and windows to ventilate.

Although Su Zhe told her that he had collected all the water, electricity, heating, and property expenses here, and asked the secretary to pay in regularly, so she could just come and live, but this was the first time she came here after Su Zhe left. Today is her 21st birthday, she decided to leave the dormitory and give herself a quiet night alone, without having to see people moving around in a blink of an eye, and her ears filled with voices, as a birthday gift. The whole house was the same as when they left, with a little dust on the furniture.Shao Yimin found a rag and wiped it carefully.

She walked into the bedroom, and the dark blue striped coverlet on the bed was still made the day she left.She opened the closet, and there were still her pajamas, Su Zhe's suit, shirts and other clothes hanging inside.She sat down by the bed and opened the drawer of the bedside table on the left. Sure enough, there was a white envelope there. She stared at it for a while, but did not move it.After a long time, she closed the drawer, lay down on the bed, and stared blankly at the ceiling in a daze. She had already obtained the TOEFL score, but her listening comprehension lagged behind as she expected, and she failed to reach the bottom line she had set for herself in advance.This result is a bit embarrassing. It may not be a big problem to apply for university scholarships in second- and third-tier cities in Canada, but she has always set herself the goal of a few schools in Vancouver, where her grandparents and uncles live. If she sends her application materials, her Not sure.

When she goes to Vancouver, she can live in the same city with her grandparents; when she goes to second- and third-tier cities in Canada, where the land is sparsely populated, it is like leaving for the sake of leaving. During this time, she has been hesitating, is she really going to use the money left by Su Zhe?She didn't struggle with whether she should use the money, she just knew clearly that if she took the money out, the connection with Su Zhe would be more distant and fragile after an ocean. She has never been a person who hesitates in making decisions, but she has been procrastinating on this matter, making it difficult to make a decision.If you don't prepare materials immediately, it is almost equivalent to giving up the plan to go abroad immediately after graduation.

Are you reluctant to part with Su Zhe?That's natural.But she understands that she is not sure about this relationship, even if he is still in this city at this time, no one can tell how long the relationship between them can last, let alone that he is far away in Shenzhen at this time. The distance between Canada and China is nearly 8,000 kilometers, and the distance between Hong Kong and Shenzhen is 1,200 kilometers. How big is the difference between these two figures?She asked herself, and then answered in her heart, of course it was very big, so big that when she thought about it, she felt unable to decide whether to stay or not.

However, staying here, their respective lives cannot intersect, almost waiting for the relationship between the two parties to inevitably fade a little bit, it is too passive and painful. After half a month of noisy life as an intern teacher in middle school, the only sound in this room is the rustling of drizzle knocking on the window. Such silence made Shao Yimin feel drowsy. When his eyes were half-closed, the The phone vibrated.She suddenly woke up and took it out to see that it was Su Zhe calling. "Yi Min, come out quickly, I'll wait for you outside the east gate." Shao Yimin opened her eyes wide, and could hardly believe her ears: "Are you... back?"

"Just got off the plane and arrived at the Normal University." Her throat choked up, and after a while she said hoarsely, "I'm at your house, Su Zhe." She couldn't go on anymore, she could only hold the phone tightly, her heart was beating so intensely that she could hear the sound of thumping.She lay back on the bed weakly, covered her eyes with her hands, and almost lost the sense of time, until she heard the sound of the door being opened outside. Su Zhe came in hurriedly. He was wearing a white striped shirt, a gray suit, and a gray-blue tie. His hair and shoulders were wet from the rain.She knelt on the bed, hugged his waist, and pressed her head against his chest.

He lowered his head and kissed her hair: "Happy birthday, Yi Min." She didn't make a sound, just hugged him as tightly as she could, as if she wanted to insert herself into him.Su Zhe was surprised and shocked by such a childlike posture. This girl, who has never been easily moved, is so fragile at this moment. Su Zhe is busy at the company all day today, and has no time to think of other things.In the afternoon, Lin Yueqing came over to discuss business with him. After the conversation, the two of them were going to have dinner together. During the chat, they mentioned that tomorrow was Yueqing Leping's birthday, which reminded him that the first time he and Shao Yimin were together was after Yueqing Leping's birthday party.

"Actually, yesterday was my birthday. I was twenty years old. No one accompanied me." "No one is with me all the time, all the time." She murmured drunkenly, and he coaxed her comfortingly: "Okay, okay, it's over, your birthday next year, can I spend it with you?" She was drunk like that, but still knew it was just coaxing, so she smiled: "You lied to me, you thought I was coaxing Yueqing and Leping." The memory of that day came to his mind clearly, he immediately called his secretary to book a plane ticket, then hurried to the airport, got off the plane and took a taxi to the East Gate of Normal University, just wanting to give her a surprise. But looking at it now, she stayed alone in this empty house on her birthday, remembering what she had said that she hoped that the whole world would forget her at some point, and he was glad that he came back in time. Su Zhe gently stroked Shao Yimin's back, calming her down slowly.She let go of her arm, only to feel that this burst of unreasonable force had exhausted her strength. She tried her best to calm down, hoping that she would not have another hysterical attack. He took off his suit and threw it aside, leaned against the head of the bed, hugged her into his arms, and kissed her eyes: "Time is too tight, I'm sorry I didn't buy you a gift." She shook her head, stared at him and said softly: "I have received the best birthday present in my life, thank you." She doesn't mind having a birthday that no one greets, anyway, it's not the first time.However, Su Zhe suddenly appeared in front of her. For her, it was far more than a simple surprise between a pair of lovers.For the first time, she thought with gratitude that she had to thank that there was really a person in this world who didn't completely forget her today. All words have become superfluous, she began to kiss him, never tried to please him so actively. And Su Zhe didn't need more incitement, the two quickly and eagerly entangled their bodies together. The separation of nearly two months made every contact between them sweet and urgent.Even in the last few days of their farewell, when the two were lingering in the sanatorium on the mountain, she only acted tenderly. Today, she catered to his enthusiasm unreservedly and kissed him almost greedily, which stirred his heart. The future is too ethereal, and the night before us is too short. The two of them realized this at the same time, and they both felt like a doomsday carnival. They didn't entangle each other until they were exhausted and fell into a deep sleep. Su Zhe had an important meeting the next morning, and he had already booked an early morning return ticket, and Shao Yimin had to arrive at school before 6:30 in the morning.The two could only get up early, and Shao Yimin fiddled with her hair in front of the mirror. During the internship, she tied her hair up like all the female classmates, in order to make herself look dignified and less student-like, but her hair was soft and slippery. It is very difficult to form a smooth shape that meets the requirements.Su Zhe stood by the bathroom door, shaved his beard with an electric shaver, and asked her, "How is your school application going?" She paused for a moment with her hands hanging over her head, a lock of hair falling uncontrollably.She closed it up again, and said to the mirror: "Let's talk about it next year, this time the TOEFL score is not satisfactory." Su Zhe put down the razor, hugged her from behind, looked at her in the mirror, and whispered in her ear: "Then, is it okay to come to Shenzhen after graduation? Even if you want to go out to study, the preparations are the same there." She paused again, and then said: "Okay." She fixed her hair, turned and looked at him with clear and gentle eyes. Su Zhe didn't expect her to agree so readily, so he could only hug her tightly. After leaving the community, it was only dawn outside, and there were few pedestrians on the road.Both sides of this boulevard are planted with common sycamores in this city. At this time, it is almost late autumn, and the leaves are starting to turn yellow. After a night of autumn wind and drizzle, the ground is full of fallen leaves.The two stood on the side of the road and waited for a while before stopping a taxi and asked the driver to drive to the gate of the High School Attached to Normal University first.Shao Yimin withdrew her hand from his, got out of the car, stood on the side of the road and watched the car turn around and drive away, and then disappeared from sight before striding across the road into the school. She knew that the "yes" she said at Su Zhe's house just now was a willful decision for her, and it ended the worrying about going abroad during this period of time, feeling a little empty and relieved.She is still not sure about the future.But after last night, she decided to fight for it. The only person who remembered her birthday, the enthusiasm that made her sink like that, she didn't want to let go actively or passively wait for the end.Go to Shenzhen?Well, she will.
