The two looked at each other in confusion, and it wasn't until Duan Yining blinked several times that he responded.
His face became unnatural, like the nervousness he felt after being caught cheating in an exam room.
"So that's it. I will definitely go to the canteen when it opens."
"Teacher Duan, do you have anything else?"
Liu Weicheng already had the idea of leaving.
In order to stop this embarrassing topic from continuing, he said this sentence.
It was obvious that Duan Yining also heard the other meaning hidden in the words, and had no intention of staying any longer.
"Then I'll go back to the office first. I don't know how late these papers will have to be marked..."
"Thank you for your hard work. I just have some things to deal with. Let's talk next time."
"OK Bye Bye."
After waving, Duan Yining turned around and left, while Liu Weicheng looked at the other person's leaving figure, stared at it for a few seconds, and then planned to walk towards the school gate.
Just as he turned around, his ears twitched slightly, and the sound of rapid footsteps behind him reached his ears.
"What a coincidence, why did you come just now?"
The voice was deliberately amplified, and Liu Weicheng immediately looked back after hearing the movement.
He looked at Duan Yining who had just left and then jogged back.
The balloon filled with water kept shaking.
Before he could recover, Duan Yining approached him again, took out a handkerchief from somewhere, and began to wipe the sweat from Liu Weicheng's forehead very intimately.
He also pretended to be dissatisfied and muttered.
"Look how hot you are, don't move and I'll wipe it for you."
"Teacher Duan..."
"Don't say anything."
Before the doubtful inquiry was uttered, Duan Yining whispered nervously.
He gestured towards the back, and the male figure that appeared in Liu Weicheng's sight came into view.
"Act with me to send this person away."
The opening of his mouth was very small, because the two of them were close enough, so Liu Weicheng could hear the other person's voice.
Although the other party didn't say it clearly, Liu Weicheng already understood roughly when he saw the two figures getting closer and closer.
Looking at Duan Yining who took out a handkerchief in front of her and wiped it absentmindedly on her forehead...
"Teacher Duan, who is he?"
The man had already arrived in front of the two of them. He first glanced at Liu Weicheng's face, then looked at Duan Yining in confusion and asked.
Duan Yining also pretended to have just seen the other person. Just when he was about to reply, Liu Weicheng beside him suddenly made a move.
He grabbed the other person's waist and pushed hard into his arms.
This sudden move caused Duan Yining, who had not yet opened her mouth to reply, to fall into a daze. When she came to her senses, half of her body was already huddled in Liu Weicheng's arms.
His eyes widened and he looked at Liu Weicheng who was smiling in disbelief.
The man in front of them saw their intimate posture, and his brows were clearly twitching.
But he still maintained his most basic demeanor and looked at Duan Yining with a normal expression, waiting for the other party to give him a reasonable explanation.
Duan Yining didn't wait for explanation, but she waited for Liu Weicheng's words.
"Obviously, there is no need to say anything more."
With a smile on his face, Liu Weicheng looked at the male teacher in front of him, and his arms around Duan Yining's waist seemed to tighten a little.
This made the other party exclaim involuntarily.
"I'm sorry, if there's nothing else, can you please leave? We both have things to do next."
"..."
Seeing the act of declaring sovereignty, the male teacher obviously could not continue to maintain it.
After staring at Liu Weicheng for five or six seconds, he said, "I won't bother you anymore." Then he walked back the way he came and left.
After his figure disappeared from Liu Weicheng's eyes, he hurriedly let go of his hand, looked at Duan Yining, who was still staring and said.
"It's done, how about it? Is my boyfriend qualified for the role?"
"..."
There was silence at first, and then Duan Yining looked at Liu Weicheng in a panic and asked.
"Who...who asked you to play my boyfriend!"
"Isn't that what you meant?"
Frowning his brows, Liu Weicheng glanced at the direction the male teacher had just left.
"He is your suitor, but you don't want to date him, so you deliberately drive him away by being very close to me. Isn't this the plot of a bad idol drama?"
"But I was originally going to play the role of brother and sister!"
"..."
Duan Yining's imagination is obviously not good enough.
"You are my cousin who came to see me by chance, waiting for me to come home after get off work...this is the plan!"
"Is this script a little bad?"
"Okay now, what if he spreads the message randomly?"
"It's okay to just say break up then."
Compared to the flustered Duan Yining, Liu Weicheng seemed very calm.
In his opinion, this kind of lie itself is about facing an unexpected situation and can easily be rounded off.
What's more, she wasn't the one who dealt with this mess. She just helped the other person out of kindness.
He won't wait for those who are picky.
"Anyway, I'll tell you we broke up next time I ask. I have urgent matters to attend to and I'll leave first."
Not intending to continue dealing with the other party, Liu Weicheng looked at Duan Yining who looked confused and turned around to leave.
Duan Yining was left holding the test paper in place with her brain like a lake of slurry.
Walking out of the school gate, Liu Weicheng saw a familiar figure.
Standing next to the guard room at the school gate, Zhao Xuanying is waiting.
She didn't look relaxed and happy after just finishing the last exam. Instead, she looked depressed and unhappy.
Liu Weicheng stepped forward, looked at Zhao Xuanying who had her head lowered in front of her, and asked.
"Failed the exam?"
no respond.
Zhao Xuanying, who originally lowered her head, looked up and lowered her head again when she realized it was Liu Weicheng.
Shaked his head.
Then he looked inside the school gate again, as if he wanted to say something to Liu Weicheng, but after hesitating for a while, no sound came out.
Silence is golden, Zhao Xuanying's mouth seemed to be smeared with glue, tightly closed.
Students who had finished the last exam also walked out of the school gate one after another.
Unlike the lively scene, the atmosphere next to the guard room was very dull.
Liu Weicheng did not continue to ask, but stared at the other party without saying a word. It was not until Zhao Xuanying could no longer bear it anymore that she muttered in a low voice.
The sound was very small, mixed in with the chatter of the crowd, and could only be barely heard.
"I saw you hugging Teacher Duan..."
The already lowered head became even weaker, and Zhao Xuanying kept rubbing her feet against the ground, as if doing so would make her feel a little better.
"It's very intimate."
Zhao Xuanying felt very uncomfortable.
Perhaps even she herself didn't know why she fell to rock bottom immediately after seeing the two people who were so close to her. She was so happy after the exam because she performed well.
She wanted to hear Liu Weicheng explain, but she was a little scared.
