Tln : my stomach acting up and i actually throwing upChapter 111: Hope You Maintain Self-Respect
In the girls’ dorm, Qiao Sisi and Zhang Zhiyin were checking the rooms one by one with a list, dividing their work—one started from the east, the other from the west.
Soon, Qiao Sisi arrived at the fifth-grade girls’ dorm and saw the two shy little girls from earlier in the day.
They still looked at Qiao Sisi with timid eyes, but the fear was much less, replaced by anticipation and joy.
“Teacher Qiao.”
They followed behind the other students, calling Qiao Sisi softly.
Qiao Sisi’s heart softened instantly, and she responded crisply.
“Hey, you haven’t slept yet?”
The two girls blushed and shook their heads, answering in low voices, “We’ll sleep after the teacher checks.”
Qiao Sisi stepped into the dorm, observing the surroundings.
Like the other dorms, the students had very few belongings, but everything was very clean and tidy.
However, when she looked at the two lower bunks, she couldn’t help but frown deeply.
On those small single beds, there were only two thin sheets, an old quilt, and a pillow—nothing more.
Qiao Sisi walked over, feeling the thinness of the sheets with her hand, frowning even more.
“Whose beds are these?”
Although all the children’s quilts were thin, these two were particularly shabby, almost like sleeping directly on wooden boards.
The two girls, who had blushed and greeted Qiao Sisi earlier, silently raised their hands.
“Teacher, this is mine.”
“The other one is mine.”
They thought they had done sothing wrong and dared not look at Qiao Sisi.
They had heard this pretty teacher was from the city and must dislike their beds.
But... this was already the best their families could give them...
If the teacher disliked it, they could only apologize...
Qiao Sisi’s eyes flashed with surprise; it was them.
Seeing their oversized, ill-fitting clothes, her heart ached, and she had so guesses.
Suppressing her rising sympathy, Qiao Sisi smiled and praised them.
“Your beds are very neat, well done.”
Though their things were few, these two girls’ quilts were the best folded she had seen throughout her checks.
Even their living items under the bed were neatly arranged.
She had heard Principal He say during lunch that these two were the top students in the class.
The unexpected praise made the girls look up in surprise, their expressions turning to joy and finally to smiles.
“Thank you, Teacher Qiao.”
“Alright, go to bed early. You have to get up early tomorrow.”
Qiao Sisi left the dorm with a calm expression, but the sour feeling in her heart overwheld her instantly.
The world is a huge circus, with so people comfortably watching the show while others struggle as clowns for survival.
Fang Zhou and Liu Hao, who was on duty tonight, quickly finished checking all the dorms from the second to the fifth floor, even checking each student’s health status.
If soone was sick, they couldn’t delay.
Coming down the stairs, Liu Hao exhaled deeply, sighing, “Being a teacher is really hard, especially for these volunteer teachers. It’s heart-wrenching.”
Fang Zhou smiled and sighed as well, “Yes, we’re only here for a short ti. Principal He and the others have been here for many years.”
The two exchanged a smile, walking back with arms around each other’s shoulders.
As part-ti life teachers, the guests were responsible for waking the students the next day, aning they had to get up at six in the morning.
When Fang Zhou was woken by the alarm clock, he was completely dazed, turning it off in a haze, trying to go back to sleep when Liu Hao started calling him.
“Fang Zhou, you go wake them today. I’ll do it next ti, can’t get up today.”
Fang Zhou then realized he had to wake the students.
He opened his eyes wide, sat up, scratched his head, trying to wake up.
Looking back, he saw Liu Hao sleeping like a log.
Oh well, taking turns is fair. Sudden changes in routine are hard to adapt to; this way, everyone gets two days to rest.
Calling out from the fifth floor down, Fang Zhou’s body was fully awake, but his mind was still unwilling to wake up.
He took his toiletries and walked slowly to the faucet on the playground.
Half asleep, he suddenly bumped into soone.
Fang Zhou woke up instantly, supporting the person while apologizing.
“Sorry, I wasn’t watching where I was going.”
“It’s okay, I didn’t notice either.”
The one he bumped into was Chu Xinran, who seed to have finished washing up, looking radiant.
In contrast, Fang Zhou looked much worse.
“Well, I’ll be going.”
Fang Zhou didn’t want to stay, letting go of Chu Xinran, ready to leave.
But Chu Xinran stopped him, asking softly, “You haven’t talked to for days. Don’t you have anything to say to ?”
She ant to ask, “Don’t you miss ?”
Chu Xinran’s smile was sweet, her temperant pure, like a mountain elf.
But Fang Zhou frowned, speaking sincerely.
“I do have sothing to say. What I did last ti at my house was inappropriate. It was my fault, I’m sorry.”
Last ti, he almost made a big mistake in a mont of confusion.
He shouldn’t have helped Chu Xinran with her bra strap; it was too ambiguous, giving her an opportunity.
Facing Chu Xinran, refusing decisively was the best choice.
“It won’t happen again. I hope we can keep a distance.”
His serious and stern expression was more real than any Chu Xinran had seen before.
Her smile vanished instantly.
“What do you an?”
“Are you blaming for kissing you?”
The opportunity she had painstakingly obtained to be alone with him outside the show was considered inappropriate by him?
Chu Xinran’s aura turned gloomy, looking extrely somber.
Fang Zhou’s heart sank, knowing he had to say this.
Can’t stop eating because of a minor mishap.
“I’m not blaming you. It’s just that we’re no longer a couple, and such intimate actions are inappropriate.”
“I rember you as a self-respecting girl, and I hope you continue to be.”
After saying that, he quickly left Chu Xinran, not staying any longer.
He feared seeing her tears and softening his heart.
Chu Xinran’s eyes indeed misted but quickly turned vicious.
She murmured softly, “It’s okay, we’ll be a couple again soon.”
“As for self-respect? You stopped liking it a long ti ago, didn’t you? So what’s the use of keeping it?”
