During this period, Ou Zhengyan came to Tongcheng more and more frequently, basically staying for one or two days every week.
It's not that Xiao Yingxi didn't know his purpose, but after saying it several times, this guy always responded to her with one sentence.
"It's his business to like her. As long as Xiao Yingxi doesn't agree, he will never force her, but he has no right to interfere with his pursuit."
Xiao Yingxi finally gave up her struggle. Fortunately, Ou Zhengyan was always polite to her and did not act excessively or cross the line.
After hearing Xiao Yingxi's words, Ou Zhengyan said without concealing his purpose.
"Isn't it Christmas Eve tomorrow? Come and celebrate the holiday with you. Here are the flowers I selected for you from the flower shop I passed by."
With that said, Ou Zhengyan stuffed a large bouquet of roses into Xiao Yingxi's arms.
Xiao Yingxi looked at the flowers in her arms and frowned slightly, but when she looked up at Ou Zhengyan's calm expression, she swallowed the words she spoke.
"By the way, have you received the dress I prepared for you? Do you need any modifications? I can take it with you when I go back this time and let her do it for you."
When he was approaching the office, Ou Zhengyan asked.
The dress he was talking about was what Xiao Yingxi and he were going to wear to the dinner party next week. Xiao Yingxi had always said that she would prepare the dress herself, but Ou Zhengyan didn't expect that Ou Zhengyan would directly ask someone to customize it for her and send it to Tongcheng.
The size and style were all designed according to Xiao Yingxi, so Xiao Yingxi could only accept it.
"No, brother Zhengyan, actually you don't have to do this."
"Luoluo, you see you are being polite to me again. I invited you to attend this banquet, so of course I should be responsible for your dress. I originally wanted to match you with a set of jewelry, but I thought about your family.
I am a jewelry maker, so I won’t show off my shame.”
Having said this, Ou Zhengyan stopped, looked at the office in front of him, and said.
"Okay, I won't go in. I'll wait for you in the parking lot and have dinner together in the evening."
After saying that, Ou Zhengyan turned around and left the teaching building.
Looking at Ou Zhengyan's leaving figure, Xiao Yingxi sighed softly. Obviously, Ou Zhengyan's appearance brought a lot of pressure and trouble to her.
No, as soon as Xiao Yingxi walked into the office, a married teacher looked at the door and asked.
"Teacher Xiao, why didn't Mr. Ou come in?"
Almost all the teachers here knew that Ou Zhengyan was chasing her, and all of them were very willing to be lobbyists. They would help Ou Zhengyan put in good words in her ears whenever there was something wrong. However, Xiao Yingxi knew very well that her heart had already followed her.
After Mas Nian left, he was completely frozen.
"He went to the parking lot to wait for me, so I'll leave first."
Xiao Yingxi put down the book, picked up the bag beside her, greeted a few people, and left in a hurry.
As soon as I walked out of the door, I heard discussions coming from inside.
"This Teacher Xiao is so happy. Mr. Ou is really interested in her."
"Hey, what's the point of being so thoughtful? Isn't this Teacher Xiao still not letting go? You said that their golden boy and beautiful girl are a good match. I really don't know what this Teacher Xiao is thinking?"
Hearing this, Xiao Yingxi didn't think much about it. She was already used to these discussions.
Most of the people here are local teachers, and their marriages are basically based on blind dates. Maybe they have never felt what deep love is in their lives. For them, if they are of the same family and share the same goals, that is a suitable marriage.
When Xiao Yingxi arrived at the parking lot, Ou Zhengyan was leaning next to her car. There were several children surrounding him, chatting about something. The students were very happy to hear this.
"Teacher Luoluo, Teacher Ou said that the school will hold a bonfire party tomorrow night, is it true?"
When Xiao Yingxi heard this, she looked at Ou Zhengyan with confusion.
Ou Zhengyan saw this and explained.
"The day after tomorrow is Saturday, and tomorrow is Christmas Eve. Let's have some fun together. Don't worry, leave the bonfire party to me. Everyone can make time tomorrow."
After Xiao Yingxi heard this, she looked at the expectant eyes of the students beside her and couldn't bear their disappointment, so she nodded.
"good."
"Wow...that's great, Teacher Luoluo, this is my first time to spend Christmas Eve."
Seeing Xiao Yingxi relieved, the group of innocent children clapped their hands and jumped happily, and then ran to tell other children one by one.
"Let's go, get in the car."
Seeing the children dispersed, Xiao Yingxi got into the car. Seeing this, Ou Zhengyan put the suitcase in the trunk, then got in the car, and the two of them left the school.
After returning to the dormitory, Xiao Yingxi went upstairs, while Ou Zhengyan went to the kitchen. He waited until dinner was ready before going upstairs to notify Xiao Yingxi.
"Here, would you like some red wine?"
As soon as Xiao Yingxi sat down, she saw Ou Zhengyan taking out a bottle of red wine from the suitcase. Xiao Yingxi hesitated for a moment, but nodded.
"I'm not a very good drinker, just drink a little."
"Don't worry, I won't do anything to you even if I'm drunk."
These words were a bit ambiguous, and Xiao Yingxi felt a little uncomfortable. Just when she was about to speak, Ou Zhengyan said with a smile.
"Sorry, I was joking. Come on, try it. This is a dish I just learned."
Ou Zhengyan said and gave Xiao Yingxi a piece.
Xiao Yingxi didn't like such initiative, but she didn't want to spoil her interest, so she took a sip and said something.
"not bad."
The meal was very quiet. Ou Zhengyan basically talked, Xiao Yingxi listened, and occasionally said a few words.
"By the way, after the year, a new teacher can be arranged to take your place here. What do you think? Should you continue to stay here or go back? You will graduate in half a year, and you will also be busy with your graduation after the year.
It’s designed.”
When he was about to finish eating, Ou Zhengyan opened his mouth.
Xiao Yingxi was a little hesitant when she heard this.
She came to Tongcheng on her own initiative because of lack of manpower, but after staying here for more than half a year, she seemed to like the peaceful life here.
Now that she suddenly said that she was leaving, she felt a little bit reluctant to leave, but Xiao Yingxi also knew very well that she could not stay here forever. She had promised her parents at the beginning that she would just come here to make a transition.
Xiao Yingxi thought about it for a while and said.
"I'm thinking about it. It's still early anyway, why don't we let the teacher come over first to get used to it."
"Okay, I'll talk to him when I go back this time, and I'll let you know when I make a decision."
Xiao Yingxi nodded, then drank the last sip of wine from the red wine glass in front of her, and then stood up.
"If I have nothing else to do, I'll go upstairs first. I'll just leave it to Mrs. Zhou to clean up here."
After saying that, Xiao Yingxi was about to leave. Seeing this, Ou Zhengyan immediately stood up and chased after her.
"Luoluo, can we talk?"
Xiao Yingxi, who was about to reach the door, was stunned for a moment, then turned around and looked at Ou Zhengyan, smiled slightly, and said.
"Brother Zhengyan, I still say the same thing, don't waste your time on me, it's impossible for us."
Xiao Yingxi has said this sentence many times, but it seems that the man in front of her has never given up.
Perhaps because he had been drinking today, Ou Zhengyan didn't have the same worries as before, so he mustered up the courage to ask.
"Why? Didn't you say that you and Gu Jinmo have nothing to do with each other? Why can't you give me a chance?"
Hearing this, Xiao Yingxi was silent for a moment, then walked over to Ou Zhengyan and said.
"Brother Zhengyan, my rejection of you has nothing to do with Gu Jinmo. In other words, I broke up with Gu Jinmo because after my efforts, I found that I couldn't fall in love with him. Do you understand?"
When Xiao Yingxi said this, Ou Zhengyan was obviously taken aback, and more puzzled. In the past, he always thought that Xiao Yingxi and Gu Jinmo were together because they were in love, and they broke up because Xiao Yingxi insisted on coming to Tongcheng.
, now it seems that there may be some unknown things inside.
"What do you mean, you said you have never loved Gu Jinmo? How is that possible?"
After half a year apart, when talking about her and Gu Jinmo's affairs, Xiao Yingxi still felt guilty, and because of this guilt, she didn't understand that she shouldn't accept someone who she couldn't respond to for any reason.
Human love, because it is a kind of harm to the other person.
"Because before I met Jin Mo, I always had someone in my heart. I have loved him for many years. To this day, he still occupies an important position in my heart and no one can replace him."
Xiao Yingxi said frankly, then looked at Ou Zhengyan, thought for a moment, and continued.
"Brother Zhengyan, I'm sorry. In addition, after the New Year, I will arrange for a reliable person to take my place. You also said that next semester, I will have more things to do, and I may not be able to do what I do."
Xiao Yingxi is expressing her attitude and also distancing herself from Ou Zhengyan. Maybe as time goes by, this man will let go of his obsession with her.
When Ou Zhengyan heard this, his expression changed slightly. He looked at Xiao Yingxi and asked in disbelief.
"What do you mean? Are you hiding from me?"
Of course Xiao Yingxi would not admit it, she shook her head and said.
"No, I remember saying at the beginning that this charity project will not be everything to me. I will have other things to deal with later on, but don't worry, this does not mean that I will give up on this project."
After saying that, Xiao Yingxi walked out of the room.
