Step by step, a gentle breeze leads to a smooth path

What do women care about most? Reputation, especially unmarried women. Hehehe, so what if you're from a big city? She'll still drag you down into the mud and get you smeared with dirt.

Zuo Jinyue noticed that Teacher Hu had been particularly polite to her these past few days, occasionally bringing her homemade food. Was it because Teacher Hu knew she was leaving and there was no longer any competition, that he was consciously trying to be friendly? Following her principle of being kind to others and not wanting to create too much tension with her colleague, Zuo Jinyue would only accept a small amount.

That day, Teacher Hu brought some pickled Jerusalem artichokes from her home; they were crunchy and slightly sweet. The Song family didn't grow them, and it was Zuo Jinyue's first time trying them. Being a sweet tooth, she couldn't resist eating a few extra pieces. Then she felt very sleepy and fell asleep on the table.

"Teacher Zuo, Teacher Zuo..." Teacher Hu called out twice, and when there was no response, she walked out of the door with satisfaction and gently closed it behind her.

After finishing her class, Song Tingnan arrived at the school gate, where she usually met with Teacher Zuo. She didn't see anyone there. After waiting a while, an unfamiliar male student approached her and said, "Are you Song Tingnan? Teacher Zuo asked me to tell you to go back first; she has something to do."

"Oh! Thank you!" Teacher Zuo has something to say? I didn't hear her say anything, Song Tingnan was a little suspicious.

Song Tingnan looked around—where were her fans, Nan-ge?

"Brother Nan!" A few little ones, third graders, came over.

"Is there anything unusual at school today?"

"No!"

"Nothing much, just that this morning that rascal from my village was very happy and said he wanted to come to the school to have some fun."

"Is he crazy? Is school some kind of playground?"

"A hoodlum, playing around, is Teacher Zuo in trouble?" Oh no! "You guys go find that person now and try to stall him." Song Tingnan was a little anxious, so she quickly made the arrangements and ran to Zuo Jinyue's office.

He rushed to Zuo Jinyue's office in a few minutes. He didn't hear anything. The door was ajar. Ting Nan saw Zuo Jinyue lying on the table.

Fortunately, she arrived in time. She nudged Zuo Jinyue, but couldn't wake her. She immediately stopped the machine and half-carried, half-supported her as she retreated outside.

It was highly unusual for Zuo Jinyue to be fast asleep in the office. Hearing that Nan had regained his strength after practicing martial arts, and given Zuo Jinyue's slender figure, it wasn't too difficult to get her to a secluded spot in the grove behind the school.

There was no water nearby to splash on Zuo Jinyue to wake her up, and he couldn't bear to slap her. So Song Tingnan followed Gao Haoran's instructions and pressed on Zuo Jinyue's Baihui, Shenting, and Fengchi acupoints on her head, as well as the Yamen acupoint, which is located 4 inches lateral to the midline of the neck, in the depression below the spinous process of the second cervical vertebra.

Ting Nan waited anxiously, knowing that if the person involved wasn't present, it was easy for others to smear her reputation, and it would be difficult to explain afterwards.

Fortunately, Zuo Jinyue woke up slowly after a while. Before she could ask any questions, Ting Nan immediately said, "Teacher Zuo, you somehow fell asleep in your office. Now wake up quickly and come with me for a walk around the school."

"Ah!...Okay!" Zuo Jinyue was a little confused, but she trusted Ting Nan and just did as she was told.

Ting Nan helped Zuo Jinyue to her feet, and they parted ways at the school gate. Zuo Jinyue walked confidently toward the office, but before she even reached it, she saw a large crowd gathered at the door. Hu Tingting's voice came from inside: "Why are you all gathered at the door? Are you looking for Teacher Zuo?"

Just as Zuo Jinyue was about to speak, she heard Hu Tingting say, "Oh dear, why are you in such a hurry to find Teacher Zuo? She's inside, just open the door and go in."

The door creaked open, and Hu Tingting's voice rang out again: "Teacher Zuo, I never thought you were this kind of person, really..."
