Chapter 166: A Clever Plan (4/4)
Li Zhuangsheng sighed softly. Seeing the young man in front of him, who was actually the same age as him, speaking so much to him from the bottom of his heart, he didn't want to fool him anymore, so he could only ask quietly, "Teacher Qin, did you have a boyfriend when you were in school?"
Teacher Qin's face changed slightly: "I, I definitely talked about it! Why are you asking this?"
He actually dated someone when he was in college, but after pursuing his ex-girlfriend for two years, just when they had progressed to the hand-holding stage, he found out that she had checked into a room with a handsome junior... Damn it!
Later, when the ex-girlfriend found out that the handsome junior had a real girlfriend, she wanted to ask him to come back. He even hesitated for a while, but when he thought of their explicit text messages and QQ chat records, he was so angry that he trembled and still did not accept it.
He really couldn't accept the fact that his cold and slow-moving ex-girlfriend was being proactive and flirtatious in front of the handsome junior. The strong contrast almost made him think that someone else had used his ex-girlfriend's phone and logged into the account.
But that ex-girlfriend got married last year and she married happily.
"Are you still together now?" Li Zhuangsheng asked.
"We're not together anymore...what's wrong?"
Teacher Qin sighed unconsciously. In fact, as long as he didn't think about those text messages specifically, he would feel relieved.
Last year, after learning that his ex-girlfriend was married, he thought that he was also at the age to get married, so he no longer resisted blind dates.
But to be honest, as a high school teacher, his salary is not very high. Fortunately, he works in a private high school, otherwise it would be even lower. But one of the costs is that he has to supervise the class during evening self-study from time to time. He gets home at around 10 o'clock and sleeps later than a dog.
In addition, its appearance is not very outstanding. As a product on a display stand, it is not really a particularly high-quality product.
The ones he likes don't like him, and the ones who like him don't have conditions that satisfy him... As a result, Teacher Qin has been going on blind dates for almost a year and has not been successful.
Sometimes he thought about just being a class teacher next semester, and the income would be better with the subsidy. But it was not much higher, and he always heard complaints from the class teachers in the department, so he had to give up the idea.
Sometimes, when it’s late at night and everyone is asleep, I often tell myself to just make do with what I have, why should I bother so much? Didn’t my new song recently say, “In fact, I often tell myself that people should learn to be content and happy”?
But he always thought back to his high school days, when there was a girl in his class who wasn’t very pretty, but was very nice to him... He was slow-witted at that time, but when he thought about it many years later, he couldn’t help but slap his thigh. It seemed like she liked me at that time!
Unfortunately, it was 06, and QQ was not particularly popular in this small county, at least not for him. After graduation, the two of them were like kites with their strings cut, and they never contacted each other again.
Whenever he thought of that girl, Teacher Qin felt that everyone he met on blind dates was not as good as her, but he also thought it would be too unwilling to just make do with her for the rest of her life.
In fact, Teacher Qin also understands that not everyone may be inferior to her, but what is missed is always the best.
He understood this truth and did not want Li Zhuangsheng to repeat the same mistake. Besides, a girl like Hu Mengdie is really hard to come by.
“So even if you fall in love in high school, you may not necessarily end up together.” Li Zhuangsheng said softly.
"That's true, but..."
"I know what you mean. You are afraid that I will find fault with you, but you are regretting it more and more. It's like Socrates' ears of wheat. The biggest ear of wheat is always the one you discarded before."
Teacher Qin was stunned. He really didn't expect that a high school student could say such a thing.
"I understand these reasons, but I still don't want to. I've seen videos of high school students online and the love stories they wrote about back then... To be honest, I'm envious."
"What are you envious of? You can talk to Hu Mengdie!"
"This is not Hu Mengdie's problem, but I want to explain why I don't want to fall in love in high school. Because most of those stories end with a breakup without any result. The two people were so sweet before, but they still broke up in the end..."
"Are you afraid of breaking up?"
"That may be the reason, but it's just the surface reason. When I watched those videos and stories, I was envious and angry. I envied them for having such a beautiful love, and I was angry at why these bastards broke up and why they let their other halves enter the marriage market... They have tasted all the sweet and sexy things, and then they start looking for someone to take over."
Teacher Qin was stunned: "How can you, a high school student, think like this?" Li Zhuangsheng did not answer, but continued to talk to himself: "So I am very angry. I don't want to be someone else's emotional and physical scapegoat. I hate the feeling of being picked and chosen. I think, since I think so, then there must be many people who think the same way as me. I don't want my ex-girlfriend to be resentful by people who have the same idea as me for the rest of her life after we break up. Besides, I... don't have the confidence to manage a relationship well. I have failed before, and I am afraid that I will hurt the girls who like me in the end."
"Actually, I think you're a bit conservative. Haha, I didn't expect you to have this kind of mentality... Tsk, in this day and age, everyone is quite open-minded, and they will become more and more open-minded in the future..."
"You don't mind?"
"I'm fine..."
"You really don't care at all?"
Teacher Qin began to avoid Li Zhuangsheng's gaze. He never thought that one day he would be forced to be at a loss because of his students' questions.
This is really not a question a high school student should think about. If the other person was not his student, he really wanted to have a drink with him.
"I still mind it a little bit..." Teacher Qin hesitated and said with difficulty, "But your reason is really... a saintly one!"
I don't want to be a scapegoat, nor do I want others to take over. I don't want girls to be despised and deducted points by their future husbands because of me. The former is normal, but the latter is too outrageous.
Do unto others, do not impose on others?
Confucius would feel ashamed after hearing this!
"According to what you said, you don't plan to find a partner in the future?"
"Well, not necessarily." Li Zhuangsheng hesitated. "If I could meet a girl who is sure to love me, and I think she and I can stay together forever, I might give it a try. Haha, but for someone as awkward as me, this should be difficult."
"You, are you really a high school student? You are too precocious..."
Teacher Qin sighed inexplicably, frowned, and thought absentmindedly about Li Zhuangsheng's words.
"Teacher Qin, I'll go back to class first if I have nothing else to do."
"okay……"
"Oh, by the way, is your wedding room ready?"
"Ah? Not yet, why are you in such a hurry?"
Li Zhuangsheng kindly reminded: "You have to buy a house as soon as possible. I heard from a friend whose family is in real estate that the housing price may double in three years."
"Oh... OK, I get it. Thank you."
Teacher Qin felt that what Li Zhuangsheng said was a bit puzzling, but for some reason, he subconsciously believed it at this moment.
"You're welcome... Teacher Qin, do you think Hu Mengdie will be expelled because of this?"
"Actually, I think it's okay. Young people are always a little impulsive..." Teacher Qin scratched his head and said hesitantly, "But the school leaders will definitely not think so. What you said is really possible... After all, this matter has caused too much fuss. The whole school is in an uproar. I'm afraid he will be caught and punished..."
……
When Ke Keqing returned to the classroom, he had just finished a few questions when the bell rang.
Zhu Zhixue was the first to rush to Li Zhuangsheng and anxiously pulled him out: "Did Director He blame you? Don't get involved in this! Just tell him the truth, this was done by Hu Mengdie alone, don't try to be a hero and say it has nothing to do with you! Hu Mengdie, this psychopath, caused such a big thing, the consequences must be very serious, she might even be fired, don't let her get you into trouble!"
"Ah?" Li Zhuangsheng didn't react for a moment.
"Also, if Hu Mengdie really wants to bite you, just say..." Zhu Zhixue blushed and lowered her voice, "Just say that you are talking to me...that's why you never agreed to her, and this matter has nothing to do with you, do you hear me?"
