Looking into the clear eyes of the woman in front of him, there was an indescribable confusion, and her expression seemed to be full of stupidity.
stay!
Zhou Chen's most direct sense of the other party's reaction was that of being stunned.
"Did I speak too soon?"
Han Shu showed an embarrassed smile and hurriedly explained: "No, no, it's just that I just came here and I'm not very familiar with it, so I'm a little bit off."
She came to Linqi Oilfield Base yesterday to teach at Linqier Middle School. As a top student who recently graduated from Shanghai Normal University, she had one year of teaching experience in Shanghai. The reason she came to Linqi Oilfield this time was for training.
She needs to increase her experience. After all, someone like her who has just graduated a year ago will not have the opportunity to be a class teacher in Shanghai.
But it was different when she came to a place like Lin Qi Oilfield Base, so she accepted the invitation of her school senior Gao Feiyang, and came to Lin Qi Er Middle School to teach with Gao Feiyang, and she could become the head teacher of the first year of high school at the beginning of school.
As a new arrival, she wanted to go out for a walk today, but Gao Feiyang, who came with her, went home today, so she could only go out alone.
Lin Qi Oilfield Base may not be big, but it's definitely not small. Plus, it was her first time shopping, and she was a little confused about her direction. She wanted to find a bookstore, but she asked passers-by, but she couldn't get there halfway.
She was confused again and couldn't find the way, so she had to find someone to ask, so she found Zhou Chen.
Zhou Chen spoke clearly and she understood every word he said, but when combined together, several directions made her a little confused.
"Can you say that again?"
So Zhou Chen said it again, and Han Shu listened attentively, made a few gestures as Zhou Chen said, and then nodded somewhat unconfidently.
"I, I probably know, thank you."
As soon as Zhou Chen saw her lack of confidence, he knew that she understood, but not completely.
This was indeed the case. Han Shu was really embarrassed to ask Zhou Chen to say it again, so she thought to herself that she would just follow Zhou Chen's instructions for the time being and ask someone later if she couldn't find him.
Out of a desire to do good things, Zhou Chen asked, "Do you need me to take you there?"
"Is that okay? Will it bother you too much?"
Han Shu looked surprised, but asked a little embarrassedly.
Facing her expectant gaze, Zhou Chen said, "It's not far. I'm going to the bookstore to buy some books. Come on, I'll take you there."
Han Shu immediately said happily: "Comrade, I'm sorry to trouble you, thank you, I really appreciate it."
It will definitely be easier to have someone with you than to find the way there alone.
Looking at the woman with a happy face, Zhou Chen didn't know whether to call her innocent or unguarded. She wasn't worried at all about meeting bad people and followed her just as she was told.
"You're welcome, let's go,"
Zhou Chen walked in front, not very fast, and Han Shu could just keep up. The two of them walked towards the bookstore one after another.
Zhou Chen simply wanted to lead the way and do a good deed, so he didn't speak along the way and just walked in front to lead the way.
Han Shu followed behind, always feeling that it was not good to be so silent and embarrassed, so she took the initiative to speak.
"Actually, I just came to this oil base yesterday, so I don't know much about it. Thank you for helping me lead the way."
"Oh, it's okay. Lin Qi Oil Base is not very big. You can know the way after visiting it a few times."
"Oh, thank you." Han Shu thanked her again, then quickly took two steps forward and walked side by side with Zhou Chen.
Suddenly, a speeding motorcycle buzzed by. Zhou Chen, with quick eyes and quick hands, shouted "Be careful", then quickly grabbed Han Shu's arm, turned around, and blocked her in front. The next moment, the motorcycle was speeding.
As he walked away, the water splashed onto Zhou Chen's legs and back.
Han Shu didn't react at all to this sudden attack. She only felt her body being pulled uncontrollably. In panic, she knocked her head on Zhou Chen's chest and grabbed Zhou Chen's clothes with both hands to stabilize her body.
"you."
Han Shu was about to get angry, but then she saw the sewage splashing everywhere, and her expression suddenly froze.
Zhou Chen let go of Han Shu's hand and looked apologetic: "I'm sorry, the incident happened suddenly. The guy riding the motorcycle was too low-quality. Your skirt is a bit dirty."
Han Shu lowered her head and looked at her skirt. There were indeed two water stains, but they didn't look very obvious. On the contrary, Zhou Chen's clothes on his legs and back had patches of sewage stains.
Only then did she realize that Zhou Chen didn't mean to do anything to her, but blocked the water splashed by the motorcycle for her.
"You, why do you want to block it for me?"
Zhou Chen patted his dirty pants and smiled casually: "It's a reflex. Besides, you are a girl wearing such a beautiful skirt. If it gets wet and stained by sewage, it will not look good. As for me, a man
, it doesn’t matter at all.”
After listening to Zhou Chen's words, Han Shu looked at Zhou Chen carefully. Suddenly she discovered that the person she randomly found to ask was actually very good-looking. He looked young, but he had a very special temperament. In addition,
The scene where Zhou Chen blocked the water for her just now made her feel a little fond of the man she met for the first time.
She took out a tissue from her bag and handed it to Zhou Chen: "Wipe it off."
"Thanks."
Zhou Chen took the tissue and wiped it gently on his pants.
"Let's go. There is a bookstore not far ahead. This bookstore is the largest bookstore in the base. There are many books in it."
Han Shu simply wiped the stains on her skirt and then followed Zhou Chen.
"Thank you so much for what happened just now. My name is Han Shu, and I come to Lin Qier Middle School to be a teacher."
Zhou Chen suddenly stopped and looked at Han Shu in shock.
Han Shu and Lin Qi'er Middle School are teachers. Isn't it just that in the plot, the head teacher of Cheng Yaya's class will also teach their class English in the future? Isn't this an English teacher?
He really didn't expect that a random person he met asking for directions on the road would be his future English teacher.
"What's wrong?" Han Shu asked strangely.
"nothing."
Zhou Chen shook his head, said nothing, and moved on. Han Shu in the play is from Shanghai. She came here to be a class teacher to increase her teaching experience. She also said that she would leave the oil field and return to Shanghai in the future.
I have to say that Han Shu in the drama is young and beautiful, and Han Shu in reality is also young and beautiful, and her temperament is indeed a bit incompatible with the oil field base.
"My name is Zhou Chen. I actually didn't grow up here. I came here a few months ago."
The two briefly chatted for a few words before arriving at the bookstore. Han Shu thanked her again and went to choose books. Zhou Chen also walked in and began to search for books with purpose.
Zhou Chen has read countless books over hundreds of years, but there are so many books in this world, and what he has read is only a drop in the ocean.
Half an hour later, Zhou Chen's pants and clothes were almost dry. He selected three historical books, paid and was about to leave when he saw Han Shu standing at the door of the bookstore, holding a book.
"You bought the book, why didn't you leave? Are you waiting for me?"
"yes."
Han Shu nodded and said in a sweet voice: "You just helped me. I think it's dinner time now. I'll treat you to dinner. Are you free?"
"Have a meal?"
Zhou Chen was very surprised, but he still shook his head and said: "I just helped you a little, just eat."
"How can that be done? It's a small favor for you, but it's a big favor for me, whether it's the bookstore or you helping me block the water."
Han Shu's face was slightly red. In fact, she was not that kind of extrovert. She decided to invite Zhou Chen, whom she met for the first time, to dinner, and she made a lot of determination.
"It just so happens that I have just arrived at Linqi Oilfield and don't know much about this base, so I'm inviting you to dinner because I want to ask you to help me learn more about this place. After all, I may have to stay here for a while in the future."
This reason was a bit lame, but it was the best she could think of. She was indeed grateful to Zhou Chen, and her impression of Zhou Chen's first contact was also very good, so she took the initiative to send out the invitation.
The future English teacher wanted to get close to him and invite him to dinner, which made Zhou Chen a little weird, but he didn't take his identity as a student seriously at all, nor did he think that Han Shu was a teacher, so he should respect and value her.
.
Let alone a teacher, even if the principal stood in front of him, he wouldn't take it seriously.
"I can tell you about the Linqi Oilfield, but if it's time to eat, forget it."
"How can that be done? You have helped me so much. I treat you to a meal to express my gratitude. This is what I should do."
Han Shu was very insistent and insisted on inviting Zhou Chen to dinner. Zhou Chen thought about it and agreed. He was very familiar with dining with girls.
"Okay, are you used to steak? We have a steak restaurant that just opened here. What do you think?"
"OK."
Han Shu naturally had no objection. She was not familiar with this place. She only came here yesterday and had eaten these few meals at restaurants near the school. She was really not familiar with the oil base. Even if she was asked to choose, she would not know where to choose.
.
"You lead the way."
Zhou Chen led the way again. Han Shu and Zhou Chen walked side by side, looking at Zhou Chen from time to time, hesitating what to say.
But she didn't say anything until they arrived at the steakhouse.
"You can order whatever you want." Han Shu handed the menu to Zhou Chen.
Zhou Chen said: "You order it, I can do anything."
"Okay, then here's this steak, and this..."
Han Shu ordered two steaks, a vegetable salad and some desserts.
"You just said that you want to know more about this oil base. I can tell you whatever you want to know."
Han Shu suddenly became interested and said: "I used to live in Shanghai, and this time I came to this oil base with my senior brother to teach. I am very curious about this kind of oil base. You can tell me about the oil base, in addition to oil extraction,
what else……"
It has been three months since Zhou Chen came to Linqi Oilfield and he already knows a lot about the place. It is naturally not difficult to explain it to Han Shu, who is new here.
While Zhou Chen was explaining, Han Shu sat like a lady and looked at Zhou Chen quietly. When Zhou Chen said, she found that the passers-by she met by chance were really extraordinary.
She spoke Mandarin very clearly, and the explanations were clear and logical. She had never heard of many things before, but she could understand them after listening to Zhou Chen explain them.
After Zhou Chen finished speaking, she also became interested and told Zhou Chen some things about Shanghai with great interest.
"Although I have never been to Shanghai, I know a lot from books and other people's mouths. It is said that the Bund is very lively, the nearby Peace Hotel has a long history, and there are more than a hundred restaurants on the Yellow River Road. At night,
It was very lively with people coming and going..."
The more Zhou Chen spoke, the brighter Han Shu's eyes became: "You know so many things about Shanghai. You are right. The Bund is very lively, and the Peace Hotel has a long history. There are many restaurants on the Yellow River Road. I even ate there.
But it seems a little bit awkward now..."
She left her hometown and came to Linqi Oilfield to teach. Apart from her senior brother Gao Feiyang, she didn't know anyone at all. Now that she met someone who knew Shanghai well, her mood suddenly became better. She changed her past reserve and became very enthusiastic.
started discussing it with Zhou Chen.
After eating, the two walked out of the steakhouse. Zhou Chen said: "Thank you for the dinner. It's getting late. I should go back. You should go back too. Do you remember the way back?"
"Remember, Zhou Chen, I still want to thank you for what happened today." Han Shu thanked him again.
Zhou Chen smiled and said: "You have already treated me to dinner, so there is no need to say thank you anymore, not to mention that I only helped a little."
The two waved goodbye. Zhou Chen looked at Han Shu's leaving figure and pondered slightly. He could see that Han Shu might have a good impression of him, otherwise he would not have invited him to dinner.
To be honest, after getting along for a short time, he didn't dislike this female teacher who was a bit innocent and silly, but their current identities were a bit different. Han Shu was a teacher, and he was a student. He could have said it just now, but in the end
But he didn't say it.
Withdrawing his gaze, Zhou Chen turned around and went home. Why did he think so much? What about teachers and students? How could he care about this? People like him who have lived in dozens of worlds, if they are troubled by the eyes of the world again,
Then these hundreds of years have really been wasted.
In the blink of an eye, three days have passed, and this day is the beginning of the new semester.
Zhou Chen went downstairs with his schoolbag on his back and came to the door of the unit building, where he saw Hu Qiumin and Cheng Miaomiao.
"Now, your homework."
Cheng Miaomiao returned Zhou Chen's homework books to Zhou Chen.
"You didn't copy my name, did you?"
"Am I that stupid? You think I am Li Si."
Cheng Miaomiao rolled her eyes, and Hu Qiumin asked, "Where's Li Si, won't you come with us today?"
Cheng Miaomiao said: "He told me that his parents sent him to school today. I guess they wanted to explain Li Si's situation to the school. He is still recovering, so he must make it clear to the school.
"
"Okay, let's go first."
Zhou Chen and the other two came to school together. They had already been divided into liberal arts classes at the beginning of their second year of high school. Class 1 was the liberal arts class, so Zhou Chen and the others didn't have to change classes, but some of the classmates in the original class had changed.
At the beginning of the new semester, the students gathered together again. Everyone was very happy and had endless topics to talk about.
When Li Si walked into the class, he attracted the attention of most people. Many people came up to say hello to Li Si very friendly and asked about his situation with concern.
The oil base is so big, and everyone lives near Lin Qi'er Middle School, so naturally many people know about Li Si's cancer. Everyone grew up in the same place, so they are all very concerned about it.
Li Si patted himself very proudly and said loudly: "I have fully recovered and am very well now."
After returning to his seat, he saw Zhou Chen, who was supposed to be sitting next to him, actually changed to the window seat on the left.
"No, Zhou Chen, why are you sitting there? You don't want to be my deskmate?"
Zhou Chen withdrew his eyes from looking outside, looked at Li Si who looked dissatisfied, and said slowly: "I just want to change to a window seat. If you are willing, you can switch over and continue to be my seatmate."
But Li Si raised his head: "I will change if you ask me to. It would be too shameless. I just like my position. This is my Feng Shui treasure, so I won't change."
"what ever."
This is the first update today. I'm sorry, I've been a little tired these past few days.
