"Dinglingling—"
"Okay, that's all for today's class. Class dismissed!"
At the front of the dance studio, a delicate and beautiful female teacher ended today's class with a smile.
Facing her were a group of six - year - old girls. After class, the children didn't leave immediately. Instead, they swarmed towards the woman like a flock of little birds, chattering around her.
"Teacher Xixi, you seem to be even more beautiful today!"
"Teacher Xixi, my mommy taught me to make a small cake yesterday. I was reluctant to eat it. I want to give it to you. Would you like to have a taste?"
"Teacher Xixi, I wasn't very proficient in one of the movements just now. Could you teach me one more time?"
Facing these noisy students, the female teacher didn't show the slightest impatience on her face. Instead, she smiled gently, patted their little heads one by one, and responded to the children's enthusiasm.
It was not until the children finally left that she packed up her things and left the dance studio.
A lively figure caught up with her from behind. A female teacher wearing glasses patted her on the shoulder and greeted her.
"Hi, Yuan Xi. Are you finally done with your class?"
The female teacher named Yuan Xi replied with a smile, "Yes, I just finished today's class. How about you, Jiajia?"
Chen Jia wrinkled her nose and said, "I still have two classes later. One of them is Class 7, the most troublesome one. None of the kids in that class is willing to listen to me seriously. Even inviting their parents doesn't work. I don't know why these kids are so hard to please at such a young age."
Yuan Xi just smiled and didn't say anything. She was a dance teacher, only responsible for dance teaching. The kids learning dance had to go through very painful stretching and flexibility training. Even the most disobedient kids would behave themselves in the dance studio. She didn't have such troubles.
Not getting a response from her, Chen Jia wasn't annoyed. She just said, "Forget it. Let's talk about something happy. I heard that a new batch of teachers will come to the school today. I secretly inquired. There's a male math teacher among them. He's extremely handsome! I heard that he was even the campus heartthrob in school. All the girls in the whole school will go crazy for him!"
"Most importantly, it's specifically noted in his resume that he's still single!"
The more she talked, the more excited she became. She grabbed Yuan Xi's wrist, "Oh my god, single! Xixi, do you know how long I've been looking forward to having a handsome guy among the teachers? I don't want to face those wrinkled, bald, and pot - bellied male teachers during meetings anymore!"
After saying that, she wiped the non - existent drool from the corner of her mouth and grinned at Yuan Xi, "Just thinking about this, suddenly those brats in Class 7 don't seem so annoying anymore."
Seeing the little dolls, small cakes, and candies in Yuan Xi's hands, Chen Jia laughed, "These are from the kids again?"
Yuan Xi said, "Yes. They stuffed them to me after class. If I don't take them, they'll cry and say I don't love them."
"I'm so envious of you," Chen Jia sighed. "If we were to say which teacher is the most popular in the school, it must be you."
She looked at Yuan Xi's appearance and sighed inwardly. How could someone as beautiful as her not be popular?
Those bright almond eyes, the small and upturned nose, the rosy lips that were red even without any makeup, and the well - proportioned and slender figure from learning dance. She was like a fairy in a painting. Even Chen Jia herself was sometimes attracted to her!
Since Chen Jia still had classes, the two separated after going down a few floors.
Yuan Xi carried the little gifts from the kids and walked towards the office. It was just during the break, and the corridor was full of students playing around. Some were even rolling on the ground. It was extremely lively.
To avoid the students who might bump into her at any time, she was distracted looking at the road under her feet while also having to respond to the students who greeted her.
When turning a corner, Yuan Xi with her head down didn't notice the person in front of her. Suddenly, she bumped into a tall and straight figure.
She happened to be standing near a step. After being bumped into, she lost her footing and her body uncontrollably fell backward. She let out a scream instinctively and closed her eyes, waiting for the pain. But the next second, a strong arm wrapped around her waist and pulled her back in time.
However, due to the inertia of this force, she fell into the person's arms, and her palm awkwardly pressed against the person's chest. The things the kids gave her fell to the ground with a clatter.
Yuan Xi closed her eyes in annoyance. She thought she had made a huge fool of herself today. A gentle and magnetic voice came to her ears.
"Are you okay?"
As an art student, Yuan Xi had interacted with students majoring in broadcasting and hosting in school. She had heard many nice voices, but somehow, when she heard this voice, her heart skipped a beat, and its rhythm even got out of control.
She looked up blankly, and a handsome face came into view.
The man holding her was very handsome. There was a heroic air between his eyebrows. When his lips curved up, there were two shallow dimples on his face. And his eyes...
Those eyes stared at her intently and deeply. His pupils were full of her figure, making people can't help but indulge in them...
"Bad guy! Bad guy! Who are you! How can you hug my Teacher Xixi!"
"Exactly! Teacher Xixi is mine! I'm going to marry Teacher Xixi as my wife when I grow up! You should let her go quickly!"
The kids' shouts woke up the absent - minded Yuan Xi. She suddenly realized that their current posture was a bit ambiguous. She pushed the man away forcefully, blushed, and squatted down to pick up the little gifts on the ground. She replied,
"I'm okay. Thank you for your concern."
She originally wanted to quickly pick up the things and leave, but a shadow fell in front of her. The man actually squatted down too.
"I'm sorry. I was being reckless and didn't look at the road just now. So I accidentally bumped into you and almost made you fall. I apologize to you."
He picked up the things on the ground for her, handed them to her, and smiled slightly, "My name is Yan Zhen. Yan like the word for'serious', and Zhen like the word for 'hazelnut'. I'm the new math teacher at Huali Primary School. And you?"
This smile made Yuan Xi feel that her heartbeat was even more out of control. She quickly took back her things from the man's hand, threw out a sentence "My name is Yuan Xi", and then ran away in a hurry.
Yan Zhen stood there watching her leave. Yuan Xi, with her back to him, didn't know that Yan Zhen had to clench his fists tightly and try his best to restrain himself so as not to cry on the spot.
Yuan Xi, Yuan Xi. Xiaoxi, I've finally found you again.
This time, once I've got you, I'll never let go.
The figure of Yuan Xi had disappeared from sight. Yan Zhen's surging emotions gradually calmed down. He lowered his head and looked at the little student beside him, who was standing with hands on hips and glaring at him.
Raising his hand to pat the student's head, Yan Zhen said firmly,
"Your Teacher Xixi will only be my wife."
