Modern Chapter 1
It rains, pattering on the ground.
The entrance of J University.
Director Zhang, who was in the same office, closed his umbrella and greeted the long-haired young woman in a black windbreaker in the corridor: "Teacher Qiu, class is over?"
"Yes."
"Where are we going?"
Qiu Che opened his umbrella and walked into the rain. Among them, the voice was calm: "Teach the children."
Director Zhang was stunned for a moment.
Qiu Che has already gone far.
Director Zhang shook his head and went upstairs with an umbrella. He happened to meet the new trainee teacher next to him, so he said hello again.
The trainee teacher asked: "I just saw it. Is that Teacher Qiu? The one that many students like to go to and listen to her class?"
Director Zhang said with a smile: "Yes, Xiao Qiu is very popular. But her temperament is a bit withdrawn. "She's a very nice person. Let's get to know her someday."
The trainee teacher asked curiously, "She looks young. Does she have children?"
"That's not clear," Director Zhang shook his head, "Teacher Qiu has never been there." Don't bring up family matters at school. I heard that there are deep conflicts with the family... You should try to ask as little as possible in the future."
"She is only twenty-six," Director Zhang thought for a moment. "It is possible that she has a child... but it is true. I canât see it at all.â
The other side.
Qiu Che glanced at the note in his hand and walked into this residential building in a high-end community.
Apartment No. 16...
Qiu Che stopped in front of the door, raised his hand, and knocked on the door.
She knocked very regularly, no more, no less, just three times.
After a while, there was a faint sound of slippers walking behind the door.
The door was opened, and a delicate and beautiful face came into view.
Both sides were slightly stunned.
Qiu Che looked at the girl in front of him and frowned slightly.
The girl has the appearance of a pure goddess, and there is an inconspicuous tear mole at the end of her eye, which adds a bit of charm.
The hair is very black, very straight, and very long, about waist length.
Wearing a homely white T-shirt and sports shorts, revealing her white and slender legs.
She was slightly shorter than Qiu Che. When she was holding on to the door frame and looking out, her hair slipped down and a few strands fell down. Her eyes looked extremely round, and her face looked particularly obedient.
She clearly has the appearance of a good girl from her school days.
For some reason, the other party looked at Qiu Che and was also stunned.
Qiu Che gripped the textbook tightly.
Then he coughed and broke the silence first: "Hello. Is this Ms. Xu's home?"
"Hello."
"Good girl" paused: "My mother's surname is Xu. Do you have anything to do with her? She hasn't been around recently. At home."
After confirming the person, Qiu Che felt at ease.
"I'm your mother's friend. My surname is Qiu. If you have a phone number, you can call her to verify."
"A week ago, your mother asked me to tutor you, and," Qiu Che paused, "Before your mother comes back, I will live with you."
The good girl's eyes widened, as if she was in disbelief.
"The class will start today," Qiu Che glanced at the watch on his wrist, with some imperceptible eagerness, but his tone was still calm, "ââI'm in a hurry, can I go in first and say okay?"
The girl didn't hesitate for long, nodded.
"...Okay, come in."
She took out a pair of brand new pink slippers from the entrance. Qiu Che looked at them and raised his eyebrows, but he didn't pick them at all.
"Thank you."
"Let me introduce myself again," Qiu Che took off his glasses, wiped them briefly, looked at the girl sitting on the other side of the sofa, and said softly, "My name is Qiu Che, you can call me Teacher Qiu."
" ...Well, Teacher Qiu."
"What about you?"
The girl's eyelashes trembled slightly: "...Li Qingwu."
"Li Qingwu..."
Qiu Che chewed the name, which was the same name that Ms. Xu told her a week ago. It was right, and she didn't have any suspicion.
"I heard from your mother that you are still in your third year of high school?"
Li Qingwu looked at her silently and said nothing.
Qiu Che wasn't embarrassed either. She had seen many rebellious and introverted children, and they all had the same reaction when meeting their tutors. Li Qingwu's appearance was also within her expectations.
Qiu Che calmly put his glasses back on, picked up the textbook he had brought, and said, "I will move my luggage here tomorrow. Until your mother comes back, I will live with you... Do you have a guest room?"
Li Qingwu clicked. nod.
Quite well-behaved.
Qiu Che had a better impression of this student in his heart, and continued: "Your foundation is too poor. I will give you tutoring every day based on your situation, but I should come back later than you every day, around eight o'clock. I'll be back, so just wait after you get home."
"Any questions?"
Li Qingwu shook his head silently.
"Then let's start today's class. You are a liberal arts student. The textbook I brought today is history. I will teach you the rest later."
"Okay..."
Qiu Che opened the book and said a few words, and found her sitting on the side. Staring at himself, he paused subtly: "Why are you looking at me? You are tutoring. Don't you need to read your own books?"
Li Qingwu: "...I don't have a book."
"No?"
Li Qingwu looked at her confused. With a look in his eyes, he immediately changed his words: "The books are at school."
Qiu Che looked at her speechlessly.
No wonder I got bad grades and didnât even pick up my books when I got home from school.
Can this get better?
Qiu Che had a slight headache, but it was not very painful: "Bring it back tomorrow."
Li Qingwu nodded awkwardly: "...Okay."
Qiu Che talked a few pages from the textbook and asked, "Where have you learned now? "
How does Li Qingwu know where her sister has learned?
She was too busy staring at the person, not listening to a single word of what was coming out of the other person's red lips.
The other person was sitting not too close to her, but just the right distance away. He was wearing a black trench coat, his hair was shoulder length, slightly rolled up, styled like a wolf tail, with a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, and a face that was so beautiful that he couldn't tell the difference between male and female. It's so beautiful that people can't take their eyes away.
Li Qingwu's heartbeat was pounding and he couldn't stop it.
ââBut what can be done? Who made her so obsessed just now that she didn't immediately deny that she was not her sister Li Qingshu, a high school student.
The strange thing is that Qiu Che didn't react at all when he heard this name.
Did she come here without knowing who she was going to tutor?
Li Qingwu noted this in his mind, turned around and gritted his teeth, casually pointing to a knowledge point in the textbook: "Here."
Fortunately, Qiu Che didn't notice her guilty conscience.
His eyes swept over Li Qingwu's green-white fingertips. Qiu Che lowered his eyes and flipped through a few more pages thoughtfully before speaking: "The progress is quite fast, but I'm afraid you don't understand it, right?"
Li Qingwu After careful consideration, he said, "It's okay."
Qiu Che smiled, noncommittal, as if she was protecting her own self-esteem.
After a while, Li Qingwu took the initiative and said, "Let's go to the study. There are tables inside, but it's still difficult to teach outside."
Qiu Che said, "No need. That's it for today. You can get used to it. I'll come over tomorrow."
Li Qingwu He subconsciously stood up with her and said quickly: "You have been talking for so long, aren't you thirsty? Why don't you sit down for a while and I will pour you a cup of tea."
Qiu Che said: "You don't have to be so polite."
Li Qingwu blurted out : "Then add WeChat."
The atmosphere was silent for two seconds.
Li Qingwu explained without changing his expression: "It will be convenient for future contact."
What he said made sense.
I just don't know why, but Qiu Che always feels that the atmosphere with her today is a little subtle.
Qiu Che scanned the contact information with Li Qingwu and left quickly.
She even asked Li Qingwu: "Remember to lock the door."
Li Qingwu nodded silently.
After closing the door, she finally breathed a sigh of relief. She immediately took out her phone and quickly found her baby mother's WeChat account.
Li: Mom, have you found a private tutor for Shu Shu?
Ms. Xu, who was probably off work, replied quickly: Huh? No.
Li Qingwu's heart skipped a beat.
fraud?
Impossible. This person, whom she recognized as a well-known professor at J University, came to lie to her with such a lie that was extremely easy to expose. What good would it do?
...Itâs impossible that he also likes her, right?
Li: Really not? My surname is Qiu, a very good-looking sister.
Ms. Xu: ...Ah, I remembered.
Ms. Xu: By the way, her surname is Qiu. I met her overseas as a professor at your J University. She is just two years older than you. She is a very nice girl.
I heard that she was a teacher, so I wanted to ask her to tutor Shushu for a while. You know Shushu is wild-minded. I am worried about her college entrance examination...
Ms. Xu: Plus, I have to stay abroad for another month. You are right? You are busy at work, so I wanted to ask her to help take care of Shushu, and I gave her the address.
Ms. Xu: She agreed at the time, but said that she was very tight on time and might not be able to come. When I thought about it later, I thought it was too troublesome, so I didnât mention it again.
Ms. Xu: Whatâs the matter? Youâve already met someone? Has she come to the house?
Li Qingwu pursed his lips: Yes.
Ms. Xu: Oh, blame me. I was so busy that I forgot to tell her that Shushu was going to stay at the school.
Ms. Xu: Please explain it to her. I also told her on WeChat that I will come back to China someday to apologize.
Li Qingwu thought about his performance today and was silent.
It seems...it's not that easy to explain.
Somehow, she sent a text message to stop the other party: No need.
Ms. Xu:?
Li Qingwu typed: Just let me explain, I know her.
Ms. Xu felt that something was wrong: ...then what if she asked me?
Li Qingwu hesitated: Then explain.
OK.
Ms. Xu didn't hesitate for long, and soon received another message from Qiu Che.
Q: Aunt Xu, I came to your house to see it.
Q: You told your daughter that she will move here tomorrow. She is very well-behaved and knows how to lock the door, so there is no need to worry too much.
Ms. Xu looked very happy when she saw this information.
How did Li Qingwu know him? Why does it feel like Qiu Che doesn't recognize her.
But if the two people didn't recognize each other, how could Li Qingwu allow a stranger to move into his home and live with him?
After thinking about it, she tentatively replied: Xiaoqiu, I have two daughters. The one you see is my eldest daughter Li Qingwu, you know, right?
Qiu Che didn't quite understand what she meant by sending this message.
After thinking for a moment, she politely replied, "Yeah, I know."
Then when his eyes touched the name "Li Qingwu", he paused slightly.
It looks familiar.
Qiu Che didn't think too much, quickly put the phone aside and went to wash up.
On the other side, Li Qingwu bit his finger gently, frowned, and was confused about Qiu Che's chat box.
Afterwards, I calmed down and sent the edited explanation and apology text message.
Although this is a good time to get in touch with the other party, Li Qingwu doesn't want to be a liar who deceives the other party's feelings from the beginning.
But after this text message was sent, Li Qingwu didn't wait for a reply until she stared at the dialog box until the evening. Even the next afternoon, when she returned home from the studio after class.
Angry?
Feeling cheated and donât want to reply?
Her behavior yesterday certainly looked like an intentional deception.
It's normal to be angry.
Li Qingwu was so confused that just when she was hesitating whether to send another text message to ask, the doorbell rang.
There were three more regular knocks on the door.
Li Qingwu stood up immediately and looked at the clock on the wall: eight o'clock in the evening.
She paused, walked to the bathroom door lightly and quickly, and took a look at her current image.
Wearing a long white skirt, a short shirt, and some light makeup, she looked obviously more decent than her unprepared look yesterday.
Li Qingwu got ready, quickly went over and opened the door.
Qiu Che stood at the door pushing a suitcase, looked at her for a second, and said: "Good evening."
Li Qingwu opened his mouth: "...Good evening."
Qiu Che was silent: "Won't you let me go in first? Li Qingwu said "
Ah" all over and turned sideways involuntarily to do the same.
In a daze, someone came in again.
Qiu Che asked: "Where should I live?"
Li Qingwu said nothing for a while.
Qiu Che turned to look at her.
Li Qingwu bit his lip with his upper teeth without leaving any trace: "Didn't you read the message?"
Qiu Che looked a little confused, and while answering, he took out his mobile phone from his pocket: "... I was a little busy today, so I didn't read the software. ...What's wrong? "
She doesn't have many friends, and no one usually sends her messages. She is used to not checking WeChat for three days.
Li Qingwu lowered his eyes: "You should take a look first and then talk..."
Qiu Che was confused and clicked on the WeChat interface and saw the message she sent last night.
There was silence on both sides for a moment.
Qiu Che was a little suffocated.
So, is this what Ms. Xu told her yesterday?
Is the second daughter the one who needs tutoring for the college entrance examination?
Teacher Qiu: Press the f key to escape from the earth.
Student Li: Press the f key to escape from the solar system.l
