SYLM Chapter 14
by VolareChapter 14 Did She Move?
Second Grade (12) Class.
It’s math class, thankfully no one is late.
Back in class, Chen Lu immediately wrote down today’s date on the last page of her black notebook.
Starting from today, she will be staying at her grandmother’s house for about a week.
After writing the date, Chen Lu closed the notebook and put it in the desk.
From the day she agreed to Gu Wan Jun, Chen Lu really hasn’t written any novels during math class.
Not only that, she also started trying to listen to math problems seriously, and even took the initiative to practice doing math problems in her spare time.
But after all, it was a subject she had never listened to seriously before, Chen Lu had no idea where to start when she first picked it up.
Perhaps it was the tacit understanding between longtime friends, after seeing Chen Lu show the math problem on the blackboard last night, and feeling her friend’s desire to start learning math, Jiang Zhen Zhen stayed up all night to organize a simplified and essential version of math notes for Chen Lu, containing key formulas and classic examples. She told Chen Lu to memorize these first, and she would find time to organize the rest one by one.
……
Math group discussion time.
Chen Lu turned around to discuss while memorizing the notes Jiang Zhen Zhen gave her. As soon as she turned around, Fu Yi Wen, who was holding the test paper, immediately turned her head to scan the surveillance camera and the math teacher who was patrolling the classroom.
Seeing that there was no danger, Fu Yi Wen wanted to take the opportunity of the discussion to talk to Chen Lu, but when she saw the math formulas in Chen Lu’s hand, her mouth, which had already opened, moved, and finally closed again.
“What’s wrong?” Chen Lu noticed Fu Yi Wen’s small actions.
As soon as the words fell, Fu Yi Wen almost wrote the words “want to say” on her face, but thinking that Chen Lu was finally willing to learn math, she should not cause trouble, so in the end she only blurted out a sentence:
“It’s nothing, you memorize it first.”
“If you have something to say, what’s the point of saying half of it.” Obviously, judging from Fu Yi Wen’s expression, Chen Lu didn’t believe that the other party was okay.
“Really nothing.” Fu Yi Wen was still stubborn.
“Really not going to say it?”
“…”
“If you don’t want to say it, whoever feels uncomfortable knows.”
After saying that, Chen Lu pretended to reopen the notebook, but was held down by a suddenly outstretched chubby hand. Fu Yi Wen looked around a few times, her tone filled with suppressed eagerness:
“Okay, okay, I’ll say it, I’ll say it, is that okay? Look at you, I’m just afraid of delaying your study!”
“What exactly is it?”
“Sigh.” The corners of her drooping mouth almost hit the back of her feet. Fu Yi Wen’s tone was a bit more dissatisfied: “It’s still that Tang Ying.”
“What’s wrong with her?”
“During the break just now, I went to the liberal arts office to water Teacher Sun’s flowers. It just so happened that Teacher Sun wasn’t there, but Tang Ying was. Guess what she said when she saw me?”
“…”
Chen Lu shook her head, indicating that she couldn’t guess. Probably thinking of something, she saw Fu Yi Wen with a black line on her forehead, getting more and more angry as she spoke:
“She said in a weird tone that I shouldn’t always run to the office every day, and that people who don’t know would think the liberal arts office is my home! Hey, I have such a bad temper! I didn’t go to the liberal arts office to look for her, what does it have to do with her? Why is she chasing me away? Is she full and has nothing to do!?”
“…I think what she said is actually fine.” After hesitating for a moment, Chen Lu told the truth.
Looking at Chen Lu’s calm face, completely not joking, Fu Yi Wen blinked her eyes, a little dazed:
“What? You mean to say that what Tang Ying said is fine?”
“Well, first of all, whether it’s helping Teacher Sun water the flowers or delivering test papers, it’s not your obligation. You don’t have to go and help every break. Secondly, as a teacher, Tang Ying doesn’t want her students to delay class because of these trivial things. She’s thinking from your perspective and for your own good. What’s wrong with that?”
“No, but she…I…tsk…”
Meeting Chen Lu’s clear and clean eyes, Fu Yi Wen blinked her eyes like car lights flashing hazard lights, but she couldn’t find any fault.
Seeing that what Chen Lu said made sense, Fu Yi Wen puffed up her cheeks and retorted weakly: “Okay, even if what you said is right, she is a teacher, she is doing it for my own good, but I went to Teacher Sun voluntarily, what does it have to do with her! Also, she was being sarcastic!”
Chen Lu’s expression was serious: “Being sarcastic might be her fault.”
Fu Yi Wen nodded frantically: “Right!”
Chen Lu said decisively: “But I think what she said is fine otherwise.”
Fu Yi Wen: “…”
“Before when Teacher Sun taught our class, you went to the office during breaks, either to check test papers or to complete other tasks that Teacher Sun gave you, and you were always late back to class. You’ve been punished to stand by the teachers of various subjects many times for this, haven’t you?”
“Chen Lu, what are you talking about?” Fu Yi Wen took all the responsibility on herself at the first moment: “I came back late because I was sometimes slow, it’s my problem, what does it have to do with Teacher Sun?”
“How can it not have anything to do with her, she never did anything for you—”
“Right! This problem is solved like this, and the teacher said before that there is a simpler solution!”
When the topic came to a crucial point, Fu Yi Wen suddenly interrupted Chen Lu’s words, and seriously drew on the test paper with a neutral pen.
Receiving her friend’s wink, needless to say, the math teacher was nearby.
Chen Lu cooperated with Fu Yi Wen in acting on the surface, but couldn’t help but sigh in her heart.
The topic was interrupted at a crucial moment just now, and I don’t know when I will have the opportunity to talk about it again, and it’s not certain whether Fu Yi Wen can listen to it.
……
In the following breaks, Fu Yi Wen still ran to the liberal arts office as usual after class.
Obviously, Tang Ying’s sarcasm and Chen Lu’s honest words had no effect on her.
All day long, the surveillance camera at the back of the classroom kept turning, and even the classmates in the class couldn’t help but begin to wonder whether it was the academic director who was picking on their Class 12, or whether the homeroom teacher Gu Wan Jun lived in the surveillance room.
There’s no need to doubt, it’s Gu Wan Jun living in the office.
Although Ningcheng No. 1 High School is located in a small county, the school can’t come up with much money inside and out, but in order to better promote student learning, the principal is not stingy with the arrangement of surveillance cameras in each classroom, and the cameras purchased are of the best definition.
Watching the surveillance cameras in and out of class, Gu Wan Jun recorded the bad classroom behaviors of students sleeping in class, passing notes, not being serious in group discussions, and going to the toilet as soon as class started, and prepared to emphasize them during the evening self-study.
At the same time, she also focused on the interaction between Chen Lu and Qin Hao Yang.
Early love is not a trivial matter. It is better to believe it than not to believe it. Gu Wan Jun can’t help but take it seriously.
However, from the surveillance, Chen Lu and Qin Hao Yang had almost zero communication. Occasionally, Qin Hao Yang could be seen looking in Chen Lu’s direction from time to time during breaks, but Chen Lu was busy with her own business from beginning to end.
In this way, the two children are currently okay.
Looking at the clear surveillance screen, Gu Wan Jun turned the signature pen in her hand and nodded to herself.
——
In the following days, whether going to school in the morning or going home at night, Gu Wan Jun and Chen Lu always took the same bus.
These days, every time the bell rang for the end of evening self-study, Chen Lu was almost the first to rush out of the classroom.
Not to mention Gu Wan Jun, even Fu Yi Wen, who was sitting close behind Chen Lu, couldn’t catch her.
It’s already difficult to catch the bus in winter, and when it comes to menstruation, even Gu Wan Jun wants to go to the bus stop sign earlier to queue up and grab a seat, but she is unable to do so.
Due to the previous experience of Chen Lu helping her grab a seat, and the fact that this child ran away as soon as the bell rang for the end of evening self-study, Gu Wan Jun probably guessed that there might be a second or third time of grabbing a seat.
However, when the guess really became reality, Gu Wan Jun saw with her own eyes that Chen Lu had been helping her grab a seat for several nights in a row, even before she had time to catch her breath, and they were all window seats that wouldn’t be crowded, even an iron heart would be touched, not to mention the delicate and sentimental Gu Wan Jun.
How could there be such a considerate and well-behaved child, and the luckiest thing is that this child is still her student.
That’s great.
Gu Wan Jun has silently sighed in her heart more than once that she is lucky.
However, this feeling came to an abrupt end on the ninth day that Chen Lu continued to help grab a seat.
One night, Gu Wan Jun, while feeling relaxed that she had gotten rid of the troubles of menstruation two days earlier, found that Chen Lu was no longer on the same bus as her.
On the crowded bus, Gu Wan Jun staggered back and forth looking at each face several times, and finally confirmed that Chen Lu was not on the bus.
What’s going on? Where’s Chen Lu? Could it be that she missed the bus?
At first, Gu Wan Jun thought so, but until Chen Lu never appeared on this bus in the following days, and about ten minutes after the end of evening self-study, the pure blue profile picture joined the group chat of parents to say that she had safely arrived home, Gu Wan Jun realized that Chen Lu had probably moved.
She didn’t even think about telling her that she was moving?
Gu Wan Jun was a little disappointed.
Although students don’t need to notify the teacher when they move, and if they really move to a place closer to the school, that would definitely be a good thing for Chen Lu, and she should be happy for Chen Lu.
Gu Wan Jun sighed, unable to smile at all.
Since they no longer took the same bus, the opportunity for the two to talk alone was almost zero. After the new Chinese language representative Qin Hao Yang gradually became proficient in various tasks, Chen Lu almost didn’t even come to the Chinese language office anymore. In this way, Gu Wan Jun didn’t even have the opportunity to take the initiative to ask Chen Lu how she moved.
What if I ask about it indirectly from Fu Yi Wen and Jiang Zhen Zhen…
Gu Wan Jun felt that this didn’t seem to respect Chen Lu herself.
It is estimated that the thoughts of careful consideration can circle Ningcheng, but looking back at the actual actions, Gu Wan Jun found that she was still in the same place.
……
One Saturday night.
It was dark outside the car window, and it was snowing lightly in the sky. There were still half an hour before I got home.
Gu Wan Jun looked out the window. Perhaps it was because tomorrow was a holiday that gave tonight a rare good luck. She successfully found a seat on her own.
The darkness outside the window hid half of Gu Wan Jun’s outline. At this moment, she was sitting on the two-seater that she used to sit with Chen Lu, but next to her was not the child who could make her heart soften.
Chen Lu has moved away, and the plan to find a house for herself should also be accelerated.
