Mi Qian sat in Qiao Chunqian's seat and waited for about ten minutes. The teachers for the next class in that classroom had all left the office, and he had not returned yet.
"Something's wrong. Brother Qiao won't make such a mistake."
There was only a ten-minute break between classes, and he always came back at the seventh or eighth minute.
Mi Qian looked at her phone, but there was no other news.
She couldn't wait any longer, so she locked her bag in the drawer of the table, turned around and went downstairs.
As soon as he got down to the first floor, he saw Qiao Chunqian walking with a beautiful girl with a shy expression.
If you look closely, you can see that the girl must be the student who has just finished class in the classroom, because she also has the same textbook in her hand.
There was some distance between the two of them, but it was still much closer than Qiao Chunqian's usual social distance with others.
Mi Qian felt a sense of crisis in her heart. She quietly hid in the nearby empty classroom and waited for the two people to pass by. She could vaguely hear their conversation.
It is a discussion and answer to a question in class.
Only then did she feel relieved when she heard the girl's slightly shy voice:
"Teacher Qiao, can you go to the maple forest with me? I have something to say to you."
Maple Grove is located behind this teaching building. There are usually few people and it seems a bit quiet.
When you go to Maple Grove, do you want to say something that no one else can hear?
Mi Qian pricked up her ears, wanting to hear Qiao Chunqian's answer.
After waiting for a long time, the footsteps of the two people gradually faded away, and she still didn't hear the answer.
She suddenly realized: silence means acquiescence, he agreed to go to Maple Grove.
Mi Qian quickly jumped out of the empty classroom and followed quietly behind the two of them.
They stopped at the vacant stone table and bench, but neither of them sat down.
Mi Qian found a secluded corner nearby, where there happened to be a long wooden chair. She sat down with her back to Qiao Chunqian, so that it would not look out of place.
The beautiful girl started to speak, her voice was so soft that Mi Qian couldn't even hear her clearly.
"Teacher Qiao, since you..., I... have always been grateful.... I think... I like you!"
The rest could not be heard clearly, but the last four words sounded like deafening thunder in her ears.
'She is confessing to Qiao Chunqian. '
Mi Qian had never realized so clearly that even though she was old-fashioned and serious, Brother Qiao was still extremely popular.
Suddenly, she wanted to look back at Qiao Chunqian's reaction to someone else's confession, but she didn't dare.
What to do, what to do, what to do if he agrees.
Mi Qian felt some urgency in her heart.
She was getting along very well with Brother Qiao these days, and could even be said to be somewhat close. She had forgotten what she had been thinking when she just graduated, and her plans to pursue people were also slow.
Now, in an instant, the boy in the white shirt who had comforted him tenderly when he was twelve years old seemed to be disappearing little by little.
It seemed that if he didn't take action, he would completely disappear into his own world.
Although I was just touched at that time, as time went by, I looked up to her later, and looked forward to it for three years in high school. The accumulation of little by little formed the love I have now.
Mi Qian suddenly turned around and stared closely at the two people on the other side of the maple forest.
Can't.
He can't agree, but even if he doesn't agree now, there will still be many people in his life. Will everyone who likes him be rejected?
Mi Qian didn't know, she only knew that her heart seemed to be tightly grasped by someone, and a sour feeling surged into her throat, making it difficult to breathe.
——
Beside the stone table.
When Qiao Chunqian heard the confession from the person opposite, he frowned tightly, his serious look was intimidating, and the person who wanted to continue to explain his thoughts did not dare to speak.
However, he did not swallow the words in his mouth because of this. His face was as dark as water, and he reprimanded without leaving any trace of emotion:
"You are my student, and you shouldn't have such thoughts. I think you should understand what a teacher and a student are. I hope you can focus on your studies and stop doing such things."
The words were not long, but they almost scared the less courageous girl to tears.
The girl raised her eyes with tears in them. She was pitiful and pitiful, but could not get Qiao Chunqian's tender heart.
His expression was as cold and hard as ever, and the look he looked at the girl was serious and ruthless, which completely made people think of other things.
It even left some psychological shadow.
The beautiful girl stumbled and said, "Yes...I'm sorry, Teacher Qiao. I was wrong, and I will never do this again."
Then he covered his mouth with one hand and ran away with a book in his other hand, not even daring to look back.
Although the person she clearly liked rejected someone else, Mi Qian's heart did not relax.
She never knew that Brother Qiao was such a strict person.
He has such a cold attitude towards the students who like him. He will not show mercy to himself.
Mi Qian was struggling alone, not knowing whether she should be reckless and take action.
"Qianqian, why are you here?"
Qiao Chunqian woke up the people who were in a daze and thought.
"Ah, I see you haven't come back yet, so I came down to look for you. Then a girl showed me the way, and I came over."
Mi Qian stood up from the bench in a panic, making up excuses.
"Oh, let's go then. I won't go back to the office today and will send you directly to practice driving."
Qiao Chunqian didn't notice anything was wrong with Mi Qian and drove her directly to the driving school.
Mi Qian nodded in a daze. She didn't say anything along the way, still thinking about her own things.
Qiao Chunqian didn't know what happened. After sending her to her location, he looked at the back of the person leaving and hesitated to speak.
Fortunately, when she came to pick her up in the evening, Mi Qian had returned to her usual energetic state and seemed to be more excited than usual.
"Qianqian, what do you want to eat tonight? There is no food at home, let's go to the supermarket."
Mi Qian agreed quickly. After arriving at the supermarket, Qiao Chunqian didn't answer when she asked for her opinion.
It wasn't that she didn't want to answer, the fervent thoughts in her mind were jumping around and disturbing her mood. She was so nervous that it was difficult for her brain to think about the dish selection question asked by Qiao Chunqian.
Seeing Qiao Chunqian's troubled and distressed expression, Mi Qian had an idea flash in her mind.
"Brother Qiao, how about we eat outside today. We haven't eaten outside together yet."
"Okay." Qiao Chunqian agreed directly and asked, "What do you want to eat? I'll navigate there."
In fact, there are many delicious restaurants near University A, but Mi Qian’s main purpose is not to eat, so she said:
"I want to find a restaurant with a better environment, quieter inside, and more privacy."
The names of several restaurants instantly appeared in front of Qiao Chunqian's eyes. After thinking about it casually, he took him to the one with the best reputation.
This is a Chinese restaurant. When Qiao Chunqian arrived, he directly reported his name, and a waiter guided him to a secluded private room.
The environment was quiet and undisturbed, perfect for turning her ideas into action.
