Zhuang Li's heart was aching. He wanted to reach out and give Bai Ming a hug, but he also knew how abrupt and inappropriate it was to do so.

He considered his words and said slowly: "Have you ever thought about applying for a student loan?"

Bai Ming shook his head: "I don't want to owe the bank money, and besides, I can't take up this quota. I'm tall and strong, so it's easy to find work. Some of my classmates are in more difficult circumstances than me, and they can't find a job. This quota

It’s more appropriate to give it to them.”

Zhuang Li held his forehead, his expression was troubled, but he was smiling in his heart.

The silly guy hasn't changed at all, and his inexplicable sense of responsibility is still as strong as ever.

Zhuang Liang thought for a while and then asked: "How did your parents agree on your support obligations when they divorced?"

Bai Ming immediately understood what he meant and said bitterly: "They agreed to jointly pay to raise me until I am eighteen. So after I turn eighteen, they rarely give me any more money. Teacher, sue them

It's useless, they didn't break the law."

Zhuang Li had already guessed this result and was not disappointed.

He asked tentatively: "How about I lend you money to study?"

"Eh?" Bai Ming was stunned, finally raised his head and looked directly at the opposite side.

"I will help you pay for your rent and living expenses. You keep track of every account. After you graduate from college and get a job, you can pay me back in installments bit by bit." Zhuang Li slowly stated his opinion:

"There is no distinction between high and low jobs. As long as you can support yourself, it is all glorious. But you have to admit that if you go to college, your starting point will be higher, your choices will be wider, and you will have more possibilities in the future.

.It is always beneficial to read more books when you are young.”

There was no contempt, sympathy or pity in his eyes, only sincerity. He was sincerely thinking about himself. Bai Ming looked deeply into these eyes, and his heart couldn't stop trembling.

"Why are you willing to lend me money? Aren't you afraid that I won't keep my word and will disappear after graduating from college?" Bai Ming asked hoarsely.

Zhuang Li shook his head and chuckled: "I'm really not afraid of you running away. A person who would rather work hard to earn money than take up his student loan quota will not break his promise. A person who wants to protect the class

The students who stood up to fight against the gangsters outside the school would not disappear without a trace because of a debt."

Zhuang Li clasped his hands and placed them on his knees, leaned forward slightly, stared into Bai Ming's eyes, and said seriously: "I believe you."

Bai Ming's eyes gradually became filled with moisture.

Zhuang Li said cautiously: "How can I give up such a good child?"

Bai Ming quickly lowered his head to hide his tears.

Zhuang Li said seriously: "Even if your parents give up on you, or even you give up on yourself, I will try to help you. In the past few months, let's work hard together, okay?"

Bai Ming did not dare to raise his head because he was afraid that he would cry, which would be too manly. He could not speak because his throat was blocked by the huge emotion.

This is a warmth and care that even my parents have never given me.

Zhuang Li stretched out his hand, gently rubbed his hair, and encouraged: "A few months of hard work may change your life's destiny. Why not give it a try? I can teach all subjects. You can come to me every day after school at noon.

, let’s find a quiet place to make up lessons, okay?”

Hearing that he could be alone with Teacher Zhuang at noon every day and listen to his soft talk, Bai Ming felt strong throbbing and anticipation in his heart. The scalp that was touched felt numb and itchy, making him almost utter a sigh of relief.

Moan. Groan.

Moreover, he actually doesn't resent owing Teacher Zhuang money at all, because this loan can maintain their relationship for a long time. Even if the substitute teaching period ends, even if he graduates from high school and leaves campus, he will still have an excuse to return to Teacher Zhuang.

Borrowing money and running away? That is absolutely impossible.

Bai Ming blinked quickly, trying to let the tears evaporate, and the word "good" had already welled up in his throat.

Zhuang Li held his hand at this moment and asked seriously: "Shall we work hard together in the past few months?"

Bai Ming's fingertips were trembling, and his heart was trembling too. He really wanted to hold Teacher Zhuang's soft hand back, but he didn't dare.

But Zhuang Li suddenly raised Bai Ming's hand, put it to the tip of his nose and sniffed gently, then followed Bai Ming's long arm to the side of the other person's neck.

Being blown by Teacher Zhuang's warm breath, Bai Ming's face turned red and his neck thickened, and his breathing became heavier. He asked nervously: "Teacher Zhuang, do I have any bad smell on my body? I take a shower after closing the stall every day.

"

Having said that, he was annoyed that his bath time was too short. If he had known that he would meet Teacher Zhuang today, he would have changed his five-minute shower into a fifty-minute bath.

Zhuang Li said nothing, just stretched out his hand, touched Bai Ming's jacket pocket, then touched his pants pocket, finally opened the zipper of his school uniform and took out a pack of cigarettes from his sweater pocket.

Bai Ming, who was at his mercy: "!!!"

"If you smoke at the age of eighteen, you will lose your lungs, right?" Zhuang Li warned seriously: "You are not allowed to smoke again in the future."

Bai Ming, who was not afraid of anything, nodded obediently: "Okay, I will never smoke again."

"Quit your job at the late night stall tonight." Zhuang Li ordered matter-of-factly.

Bai Ming continued to nod: "Okay."

"From now on, come to the office to see me at noon every day. I will help you with your classes. If you have any questions you don't understand, you can ask me at any time."

"good."

"Let's eat, the food should be cold." Zhuang Li opened the food bag and took out the lunch boxes one by one.

Bai Ming quickly helped him lift the lid and take out the chopsticks.

Zhuang Li put the largest fish into Bai Ming's bowl and warned: "Add more protein so that you can grow taller in the future."

Bai Ming's eyes were hot and he wanted to cry. He had never heard such an ordinary word of concern. He buried his head in the rice and said with red ears: "I am already 1.88 meters tall."

Height is probably the only thing he can be proud of.

Zhuang Li chuckled and said, "What's wrong with you now? You can grow even taller in the future."

Bai Ming couldn't restrain the joy in his heart and worked harder to cook the rice. After brewing for a long time, he mustered up the courage to give Teacher Zhuang a piece of braised pork and said in a low voice: "Teacher, you should eat more, you are too thin."

Already."

"Good boy." Zhuang Li praised him habitually.

Bai Ming's ears suddenly turned as red as two soldering irons. He always felt that Teacher Zhuang's tone was so soft, like marshmallows. It was clearly in his ears, but he could taste the sweetness even on the tip of his tongue.

He took a few bites of rice, then turned his face to the window and smiled secretly.

---

After eating, Zhuang Li took a look at Bai Ming's study progress and felt overwhelmed. This silly boy had returned all the knowledge he had learned in three years of high school to the teacher. He had to make up lessons from junior high school, otherwise he wouldn't understand at all.

"Forget it, I won't make up for it today. I'll go back and make some mind maps to help you sort out all the knowledge points from easy to difficult. Come back tomorrow at noon." Zhuang Li rubbed his temples.

Bai Ming nodded in shame and turned back three times as he left, feeling very reluctant to leave.

As a prostitute, he actually had the urge to stay in the office. His head must be broken.

Bai Ming walked back to the office while questioning himself, took out his mobile phone, and whispered: "Teacher Zhuang, can we add WeChat?"

Zhuang Li leaned back in his chair, looked up at him, and raised a nasty curve at the corner of his mouth: "Who allowed you to bring your mobile phone to school? It's confiscated!" After that, he took away the mobile phone with a broken screen.

Bai Ming: "!!!"

He knew that his skull must be broken!

When he was dejected and turned around to leave, a smiling voice came from behind him, "Scan the QR code yourself. You are not allowed to use mobile phones in class, do you hear me?"

Bai Ming turned around suddenly, his face full of surprise. He quickly picked up his broken mobile phone and scanned the QR code.

Teacher Zhuang's avatar is a red fox with squinting eyes and a smile. It looks very similar to him and looks very cute.

Bai Ming touched the avatar, feeling itchy in his heart. He bowed deeply to Teacher Zhuang again, and then ran away with joy. When he came to the sun, he breathed deeply, always pent up.

The chests of many gloomy spirits are actually wider than the blue sky above their heads.

He jumped up and waved his fist, with a happy smile on his face.

Zhuang Li was leaning against the window, looking at the silly big man bouncing around, and couldn't help but shake his head and laugh.

7480 sighed: "As soon as the gods met you, they were resurrected with full blood."

Zhuang Li chuckled and said, "Why am I not like this? When I met him, my body was full of strength."

After taking care of the top priority, he turned on the computer and activated the virus lurking in Chen Liang's phone.

At the same time, Bai Mingzheng put his hands in his pockets and walked into the classroom in a swagger. When he met a classmate who was blocking his way, he didn't say anything but just kicked him lightly.

The classmate was about to curse, but when he turned around and saw Bai Ming's cold face, strong chest and bulging muscles on his arms, he immediately withered and hid in the gap of the chair with a smile.

Bai Ming walked to the last row unobstructed and sat down with his long legs spread across the aisle, occupying a large area.

The classmates who were playing around him quickly stayed away from the area to avoid accidentally stepping on his feet and being beaten by him.

Zhuang Li really should come and see, this is Bai Ming's true face. The nickname "Educating School Bull" is not for nothing.

"Brother Ming, what did Teacher Zhuang talk about with you?" His deskmate asked curiously.

Xu Liangliang, who was sitting two rows in front, looked back at them, her ears already perked up.

"What the hell did he talk to me about that's none of your business?" Bai Ming took out a pile of textbooks from the drawer and ordered, "Help me see if these textbooks are complete and if they are lost."

My deskmate took inventory without complaint, shook his head and said, "Brother Ming, I haven't lost anything. They are all here. They are brand new."

Bai Ming felt relieved now, and took out a chemistry book, flipping through it and cursing: "Fuck, what kind of peach charms are written in this? I can't understand any of it."

Deskmate: "...Brother Ming, this is the structural formula of a compound. If you don't understand it, don't read it. Why bother yourself? You don't have to go to college."

Bai Ming scratched his hair and finally realized what he had just promised. Getting into college is really harder than reaching the sky!

At this moment, Chen Liang, who was sitting in the front row, suddenly let out a shrill scream, then pulled off his earphones and shouted wildly: "There is a ghost, there is a ghost! I heard-"
