Hurrying up the stairs, Duan Yining went straight to where the teacher's office was. After she opened the door, she quickly looked around the room. Ignoring the doubtful gaze of the Chinese teacher on the side, she ran to where Lin Nianwei was and started searching.
Qin Wan watched from the side, and after watching for a while, she asked in confusion.
"What's wrong with you?"
"Isn't she here yet?"
The answer is not what was asked.
Faced with the Chinese teacher's doubts, Duan Yining did not give an answer immediately, but looked anxious on the contrary.
Seeing Duan Yining's posture, Qin Wan didn't know what was going on. She turned back and glanced at Lin Nianwei's tidy desktop...
"She hasn't come yet. Doesn't she have class just this afternoon?"
"This damn girl can't even get through on the phone."
Hearing that Lin Nianwei hadn't come to school yet, Duan Yining looked a little angry. She quickly took out her mobile phone from her bag and hurriedly dialed, but there was still no answer from the receiver.
Compared to Duan Yining, who was anxious and worried, Qin Wan, who didn't know anything, looked confused.
It wasn't until the other party told her why she was so anxious early in the morning that Qin Wan's eyes widened in surprise after hearing the news.
After being silent for a while, he spoke with disbelief on his face.
"You mean...she quits?"
"That's right. You didn't tell me in advance. If I hadn't heard about it yesterday, I wouldn't have known about it."
As a good friend who has played with Lin Nianwei since childhood, Duan Yining said it was impossible not to be angry when faced with this situation of not telling her at all.
Just like when the other party came to school to take up a job, he didn't say hello to me beforehand.
Now that he is leaving, there is not even a hint of news.
Morning reading time had already begun, and she realized that Lin Nianwei had not come to school to pack her things. After all, Duan Yining still had her own class to be responsible for, so even if she was dissatisfied, she could only give up for now.
After a brief preparation, he got up. Before going out, he specifically told Qin Wan, who did not need to read the morning reading, to inform her as soon as he found out that Lin Nianwei was coming.
After saying that, he slammed the door hard and left.
Following Duan Yining's stance, Qin Wan was the only one left in the room.
Looking at the direction the other party left just now, he stared at it for a while before looking back at Lin Nianwei's tidy desktop.
A semester and a half of getting along has already allowed the three of them to develop a friendship.
Although they were not close friends, now that she heard the news that Lin Nianwei was about to leave her job, Qin Wan, as a Chinese teacher, still felt a little lonely.
Time passed quickly, and the whole morning passed quickly.
Duan Yining and Qin Wan were still discussing this matter on their way back from the school cafeteria.
Even Duan Yining couldn't guess the reason why Lin Nianwei did this, let alone Qin Wan, who had only been with her for more than a semester.
After thinking about it for a long time, Qin Wan still couldn't figure out why the other party was in such a hurry to leave.
"Is there something wrong at home? For example, a relative is in poor health and needs help taking care of it, etc..."
"Her father is active and active every day, and I haven't heard of any relatives having problems at home."
Going up the stairs, Duan Yining responded to Qin Wan's doubts, and then started to mutter.
"She has been quite peaceful during this period. I thought she had changed her temper. Who would have thought that something like this happened all of a sudden... It's really not reassuring at all. She has this kind of behavior from bottom to top."
"What about her boyfriend? Don't you know the reason?"
"..."
The authorities are obsessed with the onlookers, so this sentence is most suitable to describe Duan Yining at this moment.
After learning that Lin Nianwei was about to leave her job, she kept trying to contact him to ask him what happened in person. In the moment of panic, she even forgot about Liu Weicheng.
Now that I heard Qin Wan's words, I suddenly realized this.
She had already arrived in front of the office door and stopped instantly. After taking out her mobile phone, she rushed to call Liu Weicheng's mobile phone.
Before the number was dialed, the closed office door in front of him was pushed open from the inside.
Lin Nianwei inside the house was about to come out, and Duan Yining and Qin Wan at the door were about to go in.
The real person who had been unable to get through on the phone was now standing in front of him. Duan Yining and Lin Nianwei were stunned after meeting each other.
After a few seconds, Duan Yining came to her senses, put away her phone, and anxiously questioned Lin Nianwei in front of her.
"What's going on? I heard you're leaving!"
"..."
"Didn't I tell you? Hehe, maybe I forgot."
Silent at first, and then trying to get over this matter with a haha, but at this moment, Duan Yining obviously couldn't get over it easily with just two words, and couldn't care about Qin who was standing aside.
Wan, her face darkened and she reached out to grab Lin Nianwei's arm and prepared to change places to talk.
This action did not pay attention to what the other person was holding. With a little force, the objects in Lin Nianwei's arms fell to the ground with a clatter.
Faced with this situation, the three people present remained silent.
It wasn't until Lin Nianwei slowly suppressed the smile on her face that she responded calmly.
"Can we talk after I pack my things first?"
"I……"
"I know you have a lot to say to me now, but you can't just let things fall on the floor."
Interrupting Duan Yining's words, Lin Nianwei bent down to pick up the things scattered on the floor. However, before she could start, Qin Wan on the side rushed to help clean up.
At the same time, he also said.
"You two go talk first, and I'll help you clean it up and put it in the house."
"Teacher Qin..."
"Let me do it."
Lin Nianwei wanted to say something else, but Qin Wan blocked her words the next second.
Seeing Qin Wan helping to pick up the scattered things in the box, Duan Yining hurriedly thanked her and took Lin Nianwei to a corner where few people passed by.
During the lunch break, students kept going up and down the corridor. Duan Yining took Lin Nianwei to avoid the risk of being seen by students, and ensured that no one would pass by in this corner, and then faced this long-time friend.
Asked.
"What's going on? You didn't consult me when you came, and you didn't tell me when you left, Lin Nianwei. Do you still think I'm your friend?!"
"..."
"Speak, don't try to fool me. If you don't tell me today, I won't let you go!"
"What do you want to know?"
"Why don't you say goodbye?"
"..."
"Because I already hate my job as a teacher."
She raised her lowered head and said this in an extremely calm tone. Lin Nianwei looked at Duan Yining in front of her, and at this good friend who had been with her for nearly twenty years.
She didn't have the courage to tell the other party all the truth...
After all, she couldn't tell the person who made that decision all the truth.
"What?"
"I said, I don't want to be a teacher anymore. I'm tired of playing house as a teacher. It's that simple."
"What you said..."
"Is it difficult to understand? I face a group of students who are ignorant and give me trouble all day long. Even if I teach music, it is very annoying. I was like this before. Haven't I changed at all? Why are you now
He looked very surprised."
Pretending to be indifferent, it seemed that Lin Nianwei had no memory of this short teaching career at this moment.
In her description, in addition to causing trouble for her, some students would also cause trouble in her class.
Faced with today's increasingly strict teaching style, scolding and corporal punishment of students are not allowed.
Lin Nianwei seemed to have been holding back her anger for a long time. It seemed that staying in school for one more second was a huge torture to her.
However... these are just her words.
Duan Yining, who was standing in front of him, just looked at Lin Nianwei in front of him as he kept talking about all kinds of dissatisfaction during this teaching period. Even though the other person's words were full of disgust for the students, in fact, in this
Over the course of many semesters, Duan Yining saw a different situation...
"So I wanted to quit working a long time ago, but the school never hired new teachers, so I endured it..."
"Stop lying."
"..."
Duan Yining's sudden words made Lin Nianwei shut her mouth.
She was chattering endlessly just now, but now she was like a broken speaker, no sound could come out of her mouth.
The expression on his face became a little distressed. Looking at his friend who had been with him for nearly twenty years, Duan Yining paused and continued.
"Even if you say this now, I know... you actually like this job very much."
"I don't like it at all..."
"You know, you have had a very obvious habit of lying since you were a child."
Raising her right hand, Duan Yining tapped her nose with her finger while speaking, trying to imitate the details she just discovered.
He arched his nose.
"Whenever you lie, you always frown and arch your nose. Although you haven't done this for a long time, you did it again when you said those words just now..."
"..."
"Those words...are all lies to me. In fact, you don't hate being a teacher at all."
"..."
"Lin Nianwei, are we two friends?"
Seeing Lin Nianwei who suddenly lost her voice after being exposed by herself, Duan Yining called her by name and her tone of voice began to become serious.
After a while, he continued.
"Tell me, if you still consider me a friend, you shouldn't continue to hide it from me."
"..."
"Is there anything you can't say to me? Haven't we always talked to each other since childhood? You will tell me whenever you encounter something annoying. Why is it like this now? You hide everything you encounter.
Tuck it in, just a little bit...even if you just tell me a little bit, that's fine."
"..."
"Nianwei..."
As Duan Yining's words rang in her ears, Lin Nianwei's tightly closed mouth began to loosen.
Those words that have been buried deep in my heart and have no intention of telling anyone...
It almost reached her mouth, but she thought of something and swallowed it all.
Looking at Duan Yining standing in front of her and the worry on her face, Lin Nianwei knew very well that the other person was not angry because of her sudden departure, but just because she had begun to hide her troubles from her.
In fact, when Lin Nianwei made this decision, she suffered more than anything else.
This job as a music teacher in the school is her first serious job, and it is also the job she takes most seriously. Even though she was worried all day long because of Liu Weicheng's things some time ago, this job in the school
She worked hard but never missed a day.
At the beginning... Lin Nianwei just wanted to work as a teacher in the school to get closer to Liu Weicheng.
At that time, she was lazy and uninterested in the job. During class, she just asked the students to study by themselves, without any intention of teaching seriously.
However, when she really took responsibility, Lin Nianwei suddenly realized that being a teacher was such a happy thing for her.
Perhaps music class is one of the few courses in the school that allows students to relax. Putting aside the mountains of study materials, they can relax wholeheartedly. But no matter what the reason is, in the classes that Lin Nianwei has been in,
The students did not cause any trouble during her class.
Lin Nianwei actually likes these sensible children.
She likes to stay in the music classroom, playing the piano, and her classmates singing in unison.
If possible, she wouldn't want to give up such a job, nor would she want to leave the students she had been with for a long time.
But...compared with the men they loved, these students soon had their answers.
After that incident, Lin Nianwei began to try every means to make up for Liu Weicheng. Even if the idea proposed by the other party was too ridiculous, she finally chose to agree.
In her opinion, Liu Weicheng is everything to her now.
Even though she had a lot to say to others at this moment, she wanted to talk about her dissatisfaction to the friends in front of her like before when she was most irritable.
However... Lin Nianwei cannot do this now.
She didn't know how to explain to Duan Yining that if the other party knew everything, he would definitely choose to stop her.
Lin Nianwei didn't want all her hard work to be ruined at this moment, and she didn't want others to get involved in this matter...
She just wanted to settle an already complicated situation.
"..."
I don't know how long passed like this, Lin Nianwei looked at Duan Yining in front of her.
He showed an expression that is difficult to describe in words.
He was obviously smiling, but he looked sadder than ever.
Such a scene came into Duan Yining's eyes, and for just a moment, she froze in place. Slowly, the surrounding sounds disappeared little by little, leaving only the last words spoken by Lin Nianwei.
In this corner where five people passed by, two people faced each other face to face.
This good friend who has been with him for more than 20 years, the woman he has played with since childhood...
With a trembling voice, he said to himself.
"Don't ask Yi Ning anymore... I beg you, don't ask anymore..." This chapter has been completed!
