If love can be booked

Office, T City No.1 Middle School

Someone once said that everyone who dreams of becoming a teacher has a deep pursuit of innocence in their heart. The students' pure and flawless hearts and bright eyes are the truest reflection of them. Whenever I see their eager expressions for knowledge, I feel a great sense of responsibility and am eager to teach them everything I know. What the students bring is not only laughter, but also a rare breath of freshness and purity in this complex world.

At the beginning of the school year, the course schedule was relatively relaxed and the work pace was relatively relaxed. However, daily lesson preparation is a task that requires patience and carefulness, and is a bit tedious. My office is located in the teacher's office area, next to the third floor of the academic affairs area, and there is a wide playground outside the window. During breaks, I can always clearly see the active figures of students on the playground. The boys are sweating on the court, and the girls are cheering on the side, and occasionally I can hear their excited screams.

There are mostly female teachers in the Foreign Language Office, but the presence of several male English teachers undoubtedly adds a different style to this world. They have studied abroad, have an international perspective and rich teaching experience, which makes people look at them with new eyes. Language learning does need to be integrated into the local culture, and their presence is the best interpretation of this concept.

"I brought milk tea for everyone." Teacher Zhu said as he placed several large bags of milk tea on the table.

"Thank you, Mr. Zhu." The people around him thanked him and gathered around to check the flavors of milk tea in the bag.

"Here." He gently handed the milk tea in his hand to her, his eyes showing a hint of tenderness and concern. He had just returned from school and happened to see the Internet-famous milk tea shop she had mentioned. He walked in without hesitation and carefully selected a cup of green bean matcha flavored milk tea, thinking to himself: She will definitely like this fresh and unique taste.

"Thank you, did you go off-campus today?" After receiving the milk tea, she smiled gratefully and asked curiously. Her eyes fell on the packaging bag in his hand, and she recognized at a glance that this seemed to be the milk tea shop she had long admired. Once, when she passed by there by chance, she happily said that she liked the milk tea in this shop very much, but at that time she was too full and had no appetite to drink anything else.

"Yeah, I just happened to be passing by." He replied with a smile, his tone calm and natural. In fact, this time he went out to buy review materials for his students. However, on the way, he suddenly remembered that she mentioned her love for milk tea last time, so he deliberately detoured to that place, hoping to buy a cup of drink that would satisfy her. Although he was not sure what flavor she liked, he was full of anticipation and nervousness deep in his heart.

"Thank you." She thanked him again with a sweet smile on her face. Perhaps because he was the first person she met after coming to this school, she felt particularly at ease every time she saw him. This tacit understanding and closeness gradually brought them closer, as if they had become an indispensable part of life.

"Hey, is there something going on? Tell the truth." Zhu Mingjun had just left the office when his colleague Xiao Li came up to him and said to him in a joking tone.

"What are you talking about? What do I need to tell you?" Lin Xiaoxi seemed a little confused, not quite understanding their hints. But from their expressions, you seemed to sense something unusual.

"We don't usually enjoy such treatment." As expected, they talked about meaningless topics in a gossipy mood. However, in school, they can only rely on these meaningless things to spice up the boring life. Life can't be nothing but students, right?

"It's an office romance." Colleague Xiao Zhou also interjected. Everyone knew that Zhu Mingjun didn't go near the foreign language office area, but recently, he had been around a lot, and every time he was looking for the same person, Lin Xiaoxi, which made Zhou Linlin make a scene every day.

"You, you guys stop talking nonsense! There is no such thing!" Lin Xiaoxi was embarrassed by what they said and hurriedly explained. What office romance? They are just colleagues.

"Teacher Lin, what do you think of our teacher Zhu? Is she considerate and gentle?" Colleague Xiao Li continued to tease her and found that after she came, the atmosphere in the whole office became more harmonious. She is a very nice person with a cheerful personality.

"In our school, Mr. Zhu is a legend." Xiao Li continued, "Let me tell you a secret. Zhou Linlin, the daughter of the director of the school affairs office, is very interested in our Mr. Zhu. She brings him food every day and visits him whenever she is free. This has made him afraid to come to the Foreign Languages ​​Department." When it comes to Mr. Zhu, everyone has their own unique opinions and evaluations. Given that Mr. Zhu Mingjun is widely praised and his teaching skills are exemplary, his classes are always overcrowded every year.

"But don't worry, Teacher Zhu is not attracted to her, she is just pursuing him unilaterally. Everyone can see that since you came here, Teacher Zhu's eyes have always been on you." Her colleague Xiao Zhang teased her, but it seems to be true. Before, Teacher Zhu Mingjun rarely stayed in the office to avoid Zhou Linlin's entanglement. Recently, it seems that he comes to school every day.

Xiao Zhang also joked: "If I hadn't gotten married, I would have chased after a man like this." She lamented that she got married too early and is now busy with household chores and has no time to take care of her personal life. This is the typical life of a shrew. Although the baby at home is almost two years old, he is still very clingy, which makes her have no time to take care of her own life.

"Hey, Xiao Zhang, don't be so careless when you're talking. Look at how good your Xiao Liu is. He's picked up and dropped off by car every day. Others are envious of him." When Xiao Zhang heard her say that, he felt sorry for Xiao Liu. This married woman has a husband, son, house, car, money and everything, yet she is still so unsatisfied.

"Yes, you see, we are all going to be leftover women soon. Whenever I go home on weekends, my mom arranges blind dates for me. I am so worried." When I was in college, I didn't have time to have a relationship. Now I think it's a pity. After graduation and starting work, I am already 25 years old, and I am about to become a leftover woman.

"That's what I mean. Women always have to get married. Who said that studying well is not as good as marrying well? Although it is a bit extreme, it still makes sense." Studying well is not as good as marrying well. Although it makes sense, it is too biased. The value of women should lie in their own growth and contribution, not just relying on marriage.

As the saying goes, three women make a drama, and it is really true.

"So, Lin Xiaoxi, when the opportunity comes, you should know how to seize it. Our teacher Zhu is really good." Who finally came to such a conclusion? Was he trying to introduce her to someone, or was he Zhu Mingjun from their school?

"Haha, yeah, okay." Lin Xiaoxi was completely dumbfounded. What was going on? Was he really that good? Whether it was his colleagues or those young girls, they all wanted to chase him. How many people in the class would have a crush on him?

Looking back, the memories of my school days come flooding back to my mind. At that time, I was also deeply in love with him. His appearance seemed like a dream, intoxicating and hard to extricate myself. That time became particularly colorful because of him. Although this feeling has never been reciprocated, it has become an eternal treasure in my heart. Whenever I recall this past, a warm feeling always surges in my heart.

Perhaps, this is just a naive dream, full of nostalgia, worship and admiration.

He taught history courses, handsome and elegant. He had just graduated from college at that time, young but talented. I secretly fell in love with him, listened to every one of his classes attentively, and stared at his figure quietly. Sometimes, I even skipped school on purpose, just to let him know that I didn't come to class today. However, I wondered if he would pay attention to this? Would he be aware of my existence? Or would he not care about it at all?

That was a bright light in the youthful years, beautiful and unforgettable. Now, time has passed, we are all adults, but that feeling still lingers in my heart. Knowing that he has a partner and is getting married, looking at his photos and seeing their overflowing happiness, there is still a faint sadness in my heart. Therefore, I chose to stay away, stepped into this campus, and came to the place farthest away from him.

Whose dream made the passage of time absurd? My waiting is only for the pain of the past.

"Hold on tightly, you are my legend, legend..." my colleague Xiao Li shouted excitedly.

Our meeting was not intentional, but destiny. I am quietly waiting for your appearance. Fate, perhaps, began to grow from that accidental encounter. That glance and that smile were deeply imprinted in the heart, integrated into the bone marrow, and flowed in the blood.

I think I love you, and it's not just words.
