Xia Qianli stood there, a clear handprint on her pale face, her gaze empty and frenzied. Suddenly, she pushed Shen Xinghao aside and ran out. Xing Yun tried to follow but was held back by Lei Xi.
Outside, the sun was brilliant. She ran wildly on the bustling street, her ears filled with the whooshing of cars and the numb beating of her heart!
Tears spread madly on her face, in her heart. Instantly drowning her…
Xia Qianyi looked up at the still majestic gate of “Haixin Middle School,” reaching out to brush her hair from her forehead. Another new semester had begun. Five years ago, Haixin Middle School had gradually transformed into a public key middle school, renowned far and wide.
Xia Qianyi walked in, and many students greeted her: “Teacher Xia—” “Teacher Xia, good morning!” “……. ” “Good morning!” She smiled and nodded in response.
Xia Qianyi entered the office and had just sat down at her desk when Li, the teacher sitting next to her, said: “Teacher Xia, the head of the grade wants to see you in the office.”
“Oh.” Xia Qianyi was slightly stunned and asked, “Do you know what it’s about?”
Li said mysteriously, “Probably a promotion!”
“Promotion?”
“Just go and you’ll find out!”
Xia Qianyi stood at the office door and knocked.
“Come in—” The authoritative and slightly hoarse voice of the head teacher came through.
Xia Qianyi pushed the door open, “Um, Director Zhang, you wanted to see me?”
Director Zhang immediately showed a warm smile, “Yes. Xiao Xia, please sit!”
Xia Qianyi sat down opposite him, puzzled.
“Xiao Xia, you’ve been teaching at our school for four years now, right?
“Five years,” she corrected.
“Oh, right! Five years. You came right after graduation. I was actually your class teacher back then…”
“Um, Director, what exactly do you want to say?”
Director Zhang explained, “Here’s the thing. You know Teacher Ding from Class 2 of Grade 2? She’s going on maternity leave this semester. I want you to temporarily take over as the class teacher for Class 2 of Grade 2.”
Qianyi said, “Class teacher? But I’ve never done this before. I have no experience at all.”
Director Zhang replied, “Experience is accumulated. Every task requires taking the first step, right?”
