Metaphysics Live Room: The host is the contract husband

Chen Yan was stunned when she heard this. She didn't expect him to send her a chair. This chair must cost over a thousand yuan. It was too expensive. How could she accept such a thing?

She hurriedly stood up, a little nervously, and said, "I'm sorry, I'll ask my friend. He didn't tell me before, so I'll ask him."

Flash Delivery staff: "Okay."

[Lin Shuwen, someone sent you a chair. Did you send it?]

The reply came almost instantly: "Yeah, didn't you post on your WeChat Moments saying your back was aching from grading homework? I'm here and I found a really comfortable chair; I thought I'd recommend it to you."

Grading homework is physically demanding, requiring sitting for long periods. Using a bad chair can cause significant damage to your back and cervical spine, potentially leading to various health problems later in life.

It's definitely worth spending money to get a more comfortable chair. Try it out and see if it's comfortable. If it's not, have them take it back. If it's comfortable, then keep using it.

Chen Yan was surprised that it was really him who gave it to her, and felt even more guilty. She felt very uneasy taking such an expensive gift from someone for free.

But it's too expensive; my salary isn't enough to buy it. I can't accept it; I can't pay it back.

[Haha, teacher, you're so cute! You don't need to return it. We're all friends, it's just a chair, it's nothing. If you're embarrassed, come bike ride with us next time.]

【Hmm, bring some local food from near your school. I really love the food there; it brings back memories of my student days, and it really suits my taste.】

The Flash Delivery staff stood at the door, and soon a lot of students gathered around, looking at the delivery with curiosity and chattering: "Teacher, is it your boyfriend who brought you a gift?"

"Why doesn't he send flowers? Is he too stingy to send them? Teacher, let me tell you, you can't be with someone who's too stingy."

Chen Yan was startled to see so many people gathered at the entrance. Knowing she had to disperse them quickly, otherwise it would have a bad influence on the school leaders, she hurriedly said, "Master, could you please change it for me?"

"Let's get rid of this old chair and replace it with this new one."

He walked out the door with a stern face and said, "Alright, all of you, hurry back to the classroom. Who told you to come to the office? What kind of behavior is this, making such a racket? Go back now."

The children stuck out their tongues and made faces: "Teacher Chen is so mean! She didn't even tell us she was dating. We promised we wouldn't keep any secrets from each other, and we'd tell the teacher everything we had to say."

"Teacher, why don't you tell us the secret?"

Chen Yan said helplessly, "I don't have a boyfriend. This chair was just a gift from a friend because the teacher has a serious cervical spondylosis. You are not allowed to say anything inappropriate on the forum."

The chubby boy's eyes widened upon hearing this: "Ah, teacher, how did you know about the forum? Did you peek at it?"

"...Shh, hurry back to the classroom."

After getting the children out of the way, Chen Yan returned to her office and looked at the chairs that had already been installed. She couldn't help but marvel at how fast the installer had worked.

The deliveryman said earnestly, "Teacher Chen, right? Come over and try it out. I'll teach you how to adjust the height and backrest angle. If it's uncomfortable, you can adjust it yourself."

"If you need anything, feel free to contact me anytime. We offer a three-year warranty, and you can return it anytime if there are any quality issues."

Chen Yan nodded quickly: "Okay, then what fees do I need to pay?"

"No need, Mr. Lin has already paid."

Ten minutes later, Chen Yan learned how to do it, and the deliveryman left. No sooner had he left the office than the office erupted in discussion.

"Teacher Chen, this is a brand-name chair. It's extremely comfortable. You can't buy a chair for less than two thousand. Who would be so generous to you? It doesn't seem like an ordinary friend."

Chen Yan blushed slightly and waved her hand to explain, "No, we're really just ordinary friends. This chair really costs two thousand yuan?"

"Yes, you can find out by searching for the same style yourself."

"Take a look at the receipt; the price should be on it. You'll know once you look at it. Also, take out the instruction manual and take a look."

Other teachers also gathered around, and after seeing the 2,300 yuan mark on the receipt, they couldn't help but click their tongues in amazement: "My goodness, 2,300 yuan! Your friend is really generous to you."

Chen Yan felt very embarrassed listening to their chatter; socially awkward people really don't like being the center of attention.

"Teacher Chen, when did you meet him? How did you meet? What does he do for a living? How old is he? Do you have a photo? We'd like to see it."

"Just let us know when you have a happy occasion. We all work in the same office, so you can't leave us out."

Chen Yan stood there with an awkward smile, sat down in a chair, opened her phone, and transferred 2,300 yuan directly.

[Lin Shuwen, please accept the money. Since we're friends, I certainly can't let you waste your money on something so valuable. If you don't accept it, then I definitely can't take the chair.]

The young man on the other end of the phone raised an eyebrow after seeing the message, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes: "Interesting. No wonder everyone says teachers are the most innocent. Haha, this is the first time I've encountered someone like this."

"Lin, what are you looking at? Have you found new prey?"

"Of course, I also unexpectedly found a little something to amuse myself with. Well, I'll take the money then."

Chen Yan was relieved when she saw that he had accepted the gift.

[Lin Shuwen, thank you! I've been saying I wanted to get a new chair, but I haven't had the time. I almost forgot about it.]

It's nothing, just a small favor. Being a teacher is very hard work; it's physically and mentally exhausting, and there's a lot of stress. My former homeroom teacher looked quite haggard, but he's much better now that he's out and about more.

As they chatted, Lin Shuwen took the initiative to invite them.

【Teacher, the New Year's holiday is coming soon. Would you be interested in going to Panlong Mountain to watch the sunrise? It's very close to Kyoto, only about a three-hour bike ride.】

If you come, I'll introduce you to some other friends. We'll cover the food; you just need to bring your tent and bike. You can also bring a few friends.

[It's lively and bustling with people. I like lively atmospheres. It's quite boring when you have nothing to do. It's so nice to look at the scenery. Teacher, you also need to relax more and not just focus on work.]

Over time, it's easy to look weathered and worn out.

Yang Na leaned closer and saw the message. She lowered her voice and said, "Yanzi, why is he so insistent on you going cycling? If you really want to go, take us with you."

"Many hands make light work, so we're not afraid of anything."

"Yeah, I want to go out for a walk. It's so boring, all I do every day is work. Let's go together. Lin Shuwen said we can go together."
