    Chapter 46 Chapter 46 Teacher Shen’s little crush, little crush…

    “Teacher Shen, I’m sorry to bother you.”

    Li Rui gently placed a cardboard box in an empty corner of his desk. The cardboard box was not heavy. It could be seen that in addition to some scattered items, there was also a gift box with LV printed on it, and next to it was a stack of letters in various envelopes.

    “Teacher Shen…” The female classmate also put the bouquet on the table, her voice a little disappointed, “My classmates heard that you were resigning, so they spontaneously wrote you a handwritten letter and some small gifts, which are our thoughts.”

    She pointed to the cardboard box and added, “This was prepared by several classes together. Please accept it.”

    Shen Beidao’s eyes passed over the thick stack of letters. He reached out and picked up the top letter and nodded.

    “I accepted the letter.” His voice was gentle, “Thank you classmates for your thoughtfulness.”

    Then, his eyes fell on the gift box with a conspicuous logo, and he lightly tapped the edge of the gift box with his fingertips, looking at the two students, “But this gift is too expensive, I can’t accept it.”

    Li Rui seemed to have expected it, and quickly explained: “Teacher Shen, this was not given by one person. It was bought by several classes together, using the unused funds from the previous team building, plus some money voluntarily raised by some classmates.”

    “The class committee has announced it in the group. Everyone agrees to use this gift for you. Just accept it, otherwise… we will not be able to explain it.”

    The female classmate also nodded, “Teacher Shen, some of our class cadres would like to treat you to a meal tonight. Do you have time?”

    Shen Beidao looked at the sincere eyes of the two young people and was silent for a moment. He understood the students’ intentions, but he had his own principles.

    He did not refuse directly, but temporarily changed the subject: “I understand your wishes, teacher. I will be there on time for the dinner tonight.”

    A smile appeared on the face of the female classmate: “The location is the Yuanlai restaurant at the east gate of the school.”

    “Yes.” Shen Beidao nodded, and then looked at Li Rui, “Li Rui, please stay alone for a while. I have something to tell you.”

    The female classmate left first and gently closed the door.

    There were only two teachers and students left in the office.

    Before Shen Beidao could speak, Li Rui asked first, “Teacher Shen, did you decide to resign because of those messy comments on the school forum?”

    He spoke faster, with a bit of urgency and worry, “Actually, you don’t need to care about those things at all! They are just boring people chasing rumors and talking nonsense! After a while, no one will remember it! You lecture so well, and the classmates all like you…”

    After Shen Beidao listened quietly, he pulled out the chair next to him and motioned for Li Rui to sit down.

    “Teacher, do you think I only have this little mental capacity?” His voice was calm, with a calmness that had been accumulated in the world. “I have indeed seen some things on the forum, but those are far from enough for me to make the decision to resign.”

    Li Rui sat down as he was told, but his expression was still tense and he was not completely convinced.

    Shen Beidao stopped explaining and took out a folder from the drawer, opened one page, and pushed it in front of Li Rui.

    It was a printed copy of detailed information about graduate student enrollment in our school and several partner universities, with some handwritten comments and suggestions on it.

    “I asked you to stay because I want to talk to you about your postgraduate entrance exams.” Shen Beidao’s tone turned serious, “I have already said hello to several teachers in charge of master’s students in the hospital, and also briefly introduced your situation.

    They said that if you can pass the written test score, as long as you perform normally during the interview and show your professional ability, you have a high chance of admission.”

    Li Rui was stunned. He looked down at the materials in front of him that must have taken a lot of effort to sort out. He felt a lump in his throat and didn’t know what to say.

    Shen Beidao’s finger landed on the information page and crossed several professional directions circled by him.

    “However, you need to choose your major carefully.”

    He continued: “These directions, such as theoretical research on German linguistics and cross-cultural communication between China and Germany, are very academic and have a relatively single path in the future, mainly academic research or university teaching. The advantage is stability, but the disadvantage is that it may be boring and the circle is relatively narrow.”

    His fingers moved to another area: “These ones, such as German for Economics and Trade, and Regional Studies of German-speaking Countries… are more applicable and related to the integration of markets and enterprises. They will have a wider scope of development in the future. They can go to foreign companies, trading companies, etc., and the competition will be more intense.”

    “I personally recommend that you consider a major related to economic and trade German. You have a good language foundation, clear logical thinking, and a relatively down-to-earth personality. Studying this direction can give full play to your language advantages and gain exposure to the economic and trade fields. You will have more choices in the future.

    Of course, this is just my personal suggestion, and it ultimately depends on your own interests and long-term plans.”

    He took the document at the bottom to the top, and there was also a leaflet of the admissions brochure, “The program in this document is a training program in cooperation with a German university, which requires studying abroad for about two years.

    This involves country selection, tuition fees, living expenses…you need to discuss these with your family, so I won’t provide too many suggestions.”

    After Shen Beidao finished speaking, he pushed the information in front of Li Rui, leaned back in his chair, and looked at him calmly: “What I can do is to provide you with as comprehensive information as possible and some suggestions based on experience. Which path to choose is up to you.”

    Li Rui kept his head lowered. The emotions he had accumulated due to Shen Beidao’s departure were now overwhelmed by more complex emotions.

    He did not expect that Shen Beidao would consider him so thoughtfully, far beyond the scope of duties of an ordinary teacher.

    Li Rui’s nose felt sore and his eyes felt hot.

    In the end, thousands of words were blocked in my chest, and they turned into only one extremely sincere sentence:

    “Teacher, I wish you and Lin Yi a happy marriage and eternal happiness.”

    These words came out of Li Rui’s mouth, somewhat abruptly.

    Shen Beidao smiled helplessly, “You are the most proud student during my tenure.”

    There was encouragement from his teacher in his words, “Even if I don’t have Lin Yi’s relationship, as a teacher, I will provide help to the best of my ability, but…”

    His smile deepened: “Since you sent such a beautiful blessing, I happily accepted it.”

    The atmosphere relaxed.

    Shen Beidao turned his attention to the conspicuous gift box on the table again.

    He reached out and took out the thick stack of letters, and then pushed the gift box back to Li Rui.

    “If you can refund it, refund it. If you can’t refund it, let the platform change hands. You will be responsible for the remaining money. Make reasonable arrangements to return it to the participating students, or use it as funds for future activities of the class. I believe you can handle it.”

    Li Rui opened his mouth, wanting to say something.

    But Shen Beidao raised his hand and motioned for him to look at the surveillance camera with a red work light on in the corner.

    “I am still a teacher now.” He lowered his voice. “It is against the rules to accept expensive gifts from students. I don’t want to be accused of corruption after I leave. This is not good for the school, me, and you. Do you understand?”

    Li Rui followed his gaze and glanced at the camera, then nodded, “Well, I understand, Teacher Shen, I will take care of it.”

    In the evening, after the last class.

    Shen Beidao arrived as promised.

    There are already more than a dozen people sitting in the box, all class cadres from each class, as well as several students with good grades.

    Seeing him come in, the originally noisy box instantly became quiet. Everyone stood up and looked at him with reluctance in their eyes.

    Shen Beidao waved his hand, motioning for everyone to sit down, and joked: “Sit down, everyone. Don’t be so formal. I’m just changing jobs. I’m not going to settle abroad. Maybe we can meet you when shopping in Jiangzhou in the future.”

    “Teacher Shen, do you really want to leave?”

    “The Student Union is still sending updates about your personal account!”

    “Why don’t you leave? Teacher Shen.”

    “If you leave, our school will only have the Mediterranean Sea!”

    “Hey! Teacher Li is not here, you are still a cricket.”

    “I know, Professor Shen will not tell Teacher Li! Do you know why?”

    “Why?”

    “Oh! There is a generation gap! Besides Professor Shen being able to play with us, do you expect teachers from your father’s generation to be here with us in Makabaka!”

    He had a very warm meal.

    After a burst of noise, the students took turns saying words of thanks and recalling interesting things in class…

    Shen Beidao listened patiently, responded in a timely manner, and occasionally gave some pertinent suggestions about studies and the future.

    He didn’t stay until the end.

    More than halfway through the meal, he stood up and left in advance on the grounds that he still had morning classes to prepare for tomorrow.

    Before leaving, he quietly went to the front desk to settle the bill, and additionally asked the waiter to prepare more than a dozen exquisite snack gift boxes according to the number of people present, and give them to the students after the dinner.

    Perhaps, this was the most humane night in his coaching career.

    He has always been restrained, kept a proper distance from his students, and tried hard to maintain a dignified image, but today he discovered that his classmates often made fun of him in private and gave him various “unhuman” nicknames…

    After walking out of the restaurant, the night breeze was chilly. Shen Beidao tightened the collar of his windbreaker to dissipate some of his drunkenness.

    When he decided to return to China for development, his father was strongly opposed.In his father’s plan, he should directly enter the family business instead of going to a university to become a teacher.

    But at that time, he had an unwillingness to be bound by the established track, and he happened to catch up with the talent introduction plan not long after returning to China, so he participated in the interview with a mentality of “experience another kind of life.”

    Then, three years passed in a flash.

    The feeling of standing on the podium was initially unfamiliar and challenging.

    Later, through his own explanation, he presented the logic of a complex language, and the students suddenly became enlightened because of his teaching…

    All these experiences are wonderful, and the sense of satisfaction and value has enriched his life in these three years.

    It can’t be said that he has such a passionate love, but it is true that in the process, he gradually became accustomed to this profession.

    Life is like this a lot of the time.

    You may not be able to find the so-called destined love at the beginning, but if you choose, try to invest and discover the meaning and fun.

    Many times, it is not about choosing what you love, but trying to love what you choose.

    What I fear most is that I will waste time and cool down my enthusiasm by always hesitating and waiting.

    Shen Beidao breathed out gently, and the white mist quickly dissipated under the street lamp…

    *

    Shen Beidao returned home and opened the door.

    A complex food smell hit my face.

    “Professor Shen is off work?”

    Lin Yi poked his head out of the kitchen, wearing the dark apron commonly used by Shen Beidao. He was holding a spatula in his hand. There were some brown marks on his face. He looked silly and cute.

    “I made Coke chicken wings today! There is also a deluxe version of egg and ham instant noodles! Which one do you want to eat first?”

    Looking at his little appearance, Shen Beidao felt warm in his heart. He was really embarrassed to say that he had already eaten, especially the farewell banquet with the students.

    He took off his coat and hung it up, put on his slippers and walked over. He said with dignity, “First try our Lin Xiaotu’s signature Coke Chicken Wings.”

    As soon as he approached the kitchen door, Lin Yi suddenly wrinkled his nose and immediately leaned over to sniff him.

    “Smells of beer?” He raised his head, his eyes immediately filled with familiar repulsion, “Are you having a social event again? Go take a shower first! Wash off these messy smells from your body, or you are not allowed to touch the food I cooked!”

    He put down the spatula, pushed Shen Beidao’s chest with the back of his hand that was not stained with oil, and drove him towards the bathroom.

    Shen Beidao smiled helplessly and was expelled obediently. Before entering the bathroom, he took his cell phone out of his pocket and stuffed it into the front pocket of Lin Yi’s apron.

    “Wash it quickly, the noodles will not taste good if they stick together!” Lin Yi shouted through the door, turned back to the kitchen, and started to cook the noodles.

    At this time, the mobile phone in his apron pocket began to vibrate continuously.

    “Buzz buzz… buzz buzz…”

    Lin Yi thought to himself: It’s so late, who keeps calling?

    He hesitated, wiped his hands, and took out Shen Beidao’s mobile phone from his pocket.

    The screen was on, showing that the caller’s location was local, but no name was stored.

    The vibration stopped, but then, previews of several WeChat messages popped up at the top of the screen.

    Article 1 [Teacher Shen, did you read the letter I wrote to you?I mustered up a lot of courage〒_〒】

    Article 2: [Since you are no longer a teacher soon, there will be no teacher-student relationship between us, and it will not have an impact on your career. I think I should be brave for myself once!!】

    Article 3【Teacher Shen●スv●I’m downstairs at your house now. I’m sorry…I followed you back. Can you come down here?I have something to tell you in person]

    Article 4 [Teacher Shen, it doesn’t matter, I will give you time to think, I will wait for you until you come down]

    The author has something to say: Please comment!

    This article may be almost finished, probably tens of thousands of words.

    Things about Zhang Zexuan will probably be written in the extra chapter

    Attention!!!

    I read it again, and I found that it might be a little ambiguous at the beginning, but let me make it clear that there is more than just love in a text. I think a good teacher can really affect a person’s life. Lin Yi Shen Beidao 99999

    Also, it’s not that Teacher Shen is biased. When we go to school, there will always be teachers who are more interested in one person. For example, this classmate has good academic performance, that classmate is more cheerful, and that classmate often helps the teacher, but it does not mean that he will not give instructions to the whole class, and I am not very good at writing all the plots. Teacher Shen and Li Rui probably just admire each other.!!The only emotion was that they both had a crush on Lin Yi, but Li Rui didn’t dare to say it because he was afraid of losing his friend and was scared into silence by Teacher Shen.
