If love can be booked

T City No.1 Middle School

The profession of teacher always fills people with complex emotions: some people envy it; some people are reluctant to leave; and some people are already tired of it.

Why did I embark on the journey of being a teacher? I think it was not because of you, because I didn’t want to see you, and I didn’t want to miss the memories you gave me.

I just, just need time.

Fortunately, I have him by my side. I don’t have to smile deliberately, I don’t have to cater to him deliberately, I don’t have to like him deliberately, I don’t have to pretend not to love him deliberately, because he loves me.

On Thursday, they didn't have to attend fourth period classes, so they walked together on the campus path, shoulder to shoulder.

"I never expected that you were actually Lao Lu's student!" Was she really his favorite student? If I had known that, I would have gone to that school to teach...

"Not like?" I asked him with my head tilted. What was that tone of his?

"Well, it's indeed not like it... You are twenty-three this year, and Old Lu is only twenty-eight." Thinking carefully, they both started teaching at almost the same time, and now he is only twenty-six years old.

"That shows that our teacher Lu is young and promising." Thinking back to those days, she was still an ignorant girl, only eighteen years old; and he was not much older than her. Time flies, and now they are no longer young.

"I'm only twenty-six." He's young and promising? What about me?

"Then he's an old man?" Twenty-six? He was trying to explain something.

"Lin Xiaoxi, are you an idiot in math? Who is older?" Does it mean that in her eyes, I look more vicissitudes of life than Lao Lu?

"I don't want to bother with you." Why did he suddenly start talking to him about this topic? It was really confusing.

In the past, he was the subject of their leisure time during class breaks, and everyone just wanted to know more about him. However, as time went by, what kind of mood did they have when they mentioned his name now?

"I always forgot to ask you, why don't you go back to your alma mater?" At this moment, I suddenly realized that maybe the situation was not as bad as he thought. Otherwise, with her personality, she would definitely go back to her alma mater to reminisce about the past.

"Zhu Mingjun, I suddenly feel that you talk a lot." Some things are like treasures buried deep underground, and she would rather bury them forever. Because she is afraid that once these memories are uncovered again, it will be like a gust of wind blowing up dust, blinding her eyes and blurring her vision with tears.

"Are you here for Lao Lu? Do you like him?" I said half-jokingly, staring at you, afraid that you would nod your head accidentally. In fact, I didn't really want you to nod your head to admit it, so I deliberately used this casual tone to avoid letting you know that I care about you.

"I didn't, don't talk nonsense." If she had known that he had been transferred to this school, she would never have come. She was not so persistent, persistent in loving an impossible person.

"Okay, just kidding, they're getting married soon." When the word "marriage" was mentioned, I couldn't help but think of how much I cared about it in the past, but now I've let it go. Because now I've found the person who deserves my wholehearted care.

"Marriage?" She had actually already learned to accept this news.

"It's only a matter of time. We'll get married eventually." Their story was about to come to an end, and lucky me, I finally found my own happiness.

"What about you? When are you going to get married?" I have always believed that men are not very willing to step into the marriage fortress, but now it seems that maybe it is just my personal understanding that is biased.

"Wait for her nod." Marry? Wait for your nod, anytime.

"Oh, who is it? From our school?" When she nodded... who was the "she" he was talking about? Figures appeared in his mind.

"Yeah." He nodded gently, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, as if he thought of her, his heart full of sweetness and beauty.

"Then she is really blessed, who is she?" The woman whom he deeply loves must be very lucky and happy! Because of his gentleness and consideration, and his gentleness and elegance.

"Guess?" This woman is so indifferent to this matter? She turned a blind eye to his love? And now she is still interested in asking who he is?

"Ah? I guess?" How can I just guess about this? Could it be Zhou Linlin? Just as I was thinking about it, an idea in my mind made her stop involuntarily. Could it be that he likes her?

"Hey, Zhu Mingjun, I heard that you like me?" If you like someone, will you think of him (her) from time to time, no matter where you are or what you are doing?

"Just heard about it?" Lin Xiaoxi, I like you, just heard about it?

"Ah?" Lin Xiaoxi was confused. She didn't understand what Zhu Mingjun meant. What did he mean by 'just heard'?

Looking at Lin Xiaoxi's cute expression, Zhu Mingjun couldn't help laughing: "Okay, I won't tease you anymore. Let's go, I'll treat you to a big meal." In fact, ever since he met Lin Xiaoxi by chance that time, he fell in love at first sight with this girl with bright eyes and a heart as pure as water.

"I'm tired of the school food!" Lin Xiaoxi pouted her lips to express her strong protest and made it clear that she hated the food in the school cafeteria very much.

"I didn't say I would treat you to a meal at school." Zhu Mingjun responded with a smile.

"Hehe, I get it! There will definitely be delicious food if we follow Teacher Lu~" Lin Xiaoxi followed Zhu Mingjun with a smile, because he always took her to some romantic restaurants before, which made her feel very bourgeois.

"Lin Xiaoxi, am I that old?" He glanced at her gently, wondering if he was really old. Years passed quietly, leaving traces of time on his face, but the youth and passion deep in his heart remained unchanged.

"Not old, not old at all." Lin Xiaoxi explained quickly. She never said that he was old!

The biggest difference between teachers and students is that teachers can enter and leave the campus freely, while students are subject to many restrictions, even more so in some special circumstances.

The sun shines on the side of the head, bringing a touch of warmth. At this moment, they are sitting in the car, and Lin Xiaoxi quietly looks at him who is concentrating on driving.

"Can I buy another cup of milk tea on the way back?" Lin Xiaoxi asked softly, staring at the road ahead. She didn't realize whether she could still drink the cup of milk tea, she just wanted to taste the sweet taste.

Hearing this, he turned his head to look at her, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly: "If you think you can drink it, I don't mind." There was a hint of humor in his words. The traffic light turned red, the car slowly stopped, and their eyes met.

Lin Xiaoxi didn't respond to him, and she was secretly muttering in her heart, what does "can drink more" mean? She is very confident in her appetite!

The car continued to move forward, and after a while, Lin Xiaoxi was surprised to find that they were heading towards the city. Going to the city? Maybe it was because the car was driving too smoothly, or maybe she was really a little sleepy? Unconsciously, she leaned back on the chair and gradually fell asleep...

"Lin Xiaoxi?" Looking at the girl sleeping soundly on the chair in front of him, the man couldn't help but feel surprised. How sleepy was she? How could she fall asleep like this?

"Well, are we there?" As if awakened by the man's voice, Lin Xiaoxi opened her eyes dazedly and asked mumblingly. Was she asleep? How come she didn't feel anything at all? While thinking, Lin Xiaoxi tried hard to recall what happened before.

Looking out the car window, the scenery outside was a little unfamiliar to her who had just woken up. At this time, the man's slightly teasing voice came again: "Don't you think it's a bit late to look around now?"

"Ah?" She looked around and found that the car had stopped in an unfamiliar place. Seeing that he had already gotten out of the car, unbuckled his seat belt, and was about to get out, Lin Xiaoxi was even more puzzled. What was that expression on his face?

"What's wrong?" Lin Xiaoxi was a little confused by the look on her face, and she muttered to herself, am I weird today? Why is he always staring at me?

Just as Lin Xiaoxi was daydreaming, the man suddenly said, "Don't take other people's cars in the future. I'll take you wherever you want to go." His tone was firm and unquestionable.

"Why?" Lin Xiaoxi was very surprised when she heard this. She didn't understand why the man suddenly said such a thing. It seemed that their relationship was not close enough to this extent, right?

Facing Lin Xiaoxi's question, Zhu Mingjun frowned slightly, then raised the corners of his mouth and gave a ridiculous answer: "Because you sleep in an indecent way and snore."

After saying that, he turned and left, leaving Lin Xiaoxi standing there in a daze, unable to react for a long time. She never thought that the other party would use such an excuse to restrict her freedom to ride in the car. However, recalling her lousy sleeping posture in the car just now, and the possible snoring, Lin Xiaoxi couldn't help but blush...

"I, I don't, Zhu Mingjun, please stop destroying my image, okay?" She said angrily. God knows, how could she snore!

"Then tell me what your beautiful image is?" He raised his lips slightly, looking at her with a smile, a hint of teasing in his eyes. Humph, she still has a so-called beautiful image?

"Others say I'm gentle, generous, honest, and steady," she retorted unconvinced. In the eyes of outsiders, she was indeed highly praised, but only she herself knew that deep down in her heart she was actually a very uninhibited person.

"You are gentle?" He raised his eyebrows, his face full of suspicion. Is the word gentle related to her? How come he didn't feel it at all?

"Are you honest?" He thought to himself, remembering something. At least in that matter, she was not honest.

"Zhu Mingjun, are you insulting me?" She stamped her feet in anger. She felt very upset when he asked her this question. Was she really not gentle?

"How have I harmed you?" He shrugged innocently. He just wanted her to face the reality that she was not as bad as she thought. He wanted you to be yourself and not be influenced by worldly ideas.

"You're still saying no? You're saying I'm not gentle? Not honest?" She widened her eyes and questioned him angrily. She admitted that she might not be gentle enough, nor honest enough, but when he said it, she always felt particularly wronged.

"If one day I can't get married because of you, what will you do?" She couldn't help but wonder in her heart, is she really not gentle? Not pretty? Not cute? Thinking of this, a feeling of grievance surged in her heart.

"Then I have no choice but to accept it." Zhu Mingjun turned his head and looked at her, with a faint smile on his lips, but a hint of determination in his eyes. It seemed as if he was telling her: As long as you are willing, I can create a paradise for you that belongs only to you.

"Who cares?" She shook off his tightly grasped hand, her heart full of disdain. She didn't care about his so-called charity at all.

"I love you." However, facing her indifference and rejection, the man was not discouraged, but whispered. The sincerity revealed in his words moved people. Lin Xiaoxi, when will you truly understand my feelings?

"Uh..." Feeling his passionate and sincere gaze, she couldn't help but feel a little flustered.

"Well, are we there yet?" She tried to change the subject to break the awkward atmosphere.
