The modern me and the Republic of China her

Chapter 42 Back to School
The torrential rain lasted all night.At five o'clock in the morning, the rain finally weakened, and there were sparse figures in the streets and alleys.Zhang Xiaofa stayed up all night.He couldn't fall asleep in bed for a long time, so he simply sat up to read a book and take notes.Before I knew it, it was dawn, and I had already browsed through several books in the bag, and wrote down a thick stack of notes.He couldn't help but paint a few strokes on the last page, outlining the outline of a girl.He looked at the portrait on the paper and shook his head helplessly: it was hard for him not to miss her.

He looked at the walls on all sides, how he wished that in the four-person dormitory of the university, at least three good brothers would hold a sleep meeting together to give advice to this confused relationship.

Right now, Zhang Wenxuan, who is in love, and Gu Qijiang, who is in unrequited love, can't provide a feasible solution, making Zhang Xiaofa, who has zero experience, very worried.

After much deliberation, he could only turn emotional pain into motivation for struggle. It seems that a certain teacher in high school got out of the shadow of broken love in this way...

After packing up, he left quietly, leaving a note on the coffee table in the living room: Thank you for your concern, we will meet again this weekend.

He trotted to the school gate, and the continuous knocking on the door woke up the sleeping guard.

"Mr. Zhang, did you go home last night? It's nice to have a home." The doorman was a single veteran. Seeing him carrying big bags, he thought he had just returned to school from home.

"Thank you for your concern." He glanced at the other party with sympathy, and said with a wry smile, "I am also a person without a family."

He first went to the cafeteria to buy a big bag of warm fresh meat dumplings, and then he walked back to the dormitory with heavy steps.As soon as the door was opened, the puppy came out listlessly from under the bed, smelled the aroma of the buns, and immediately barked a few times excitedly.He ate one portion by himself and the other on a small plate on the floor.It wagged its tail, rubbed against his trouser legs, and wolfed down one bite at a time, eating happily.

When he went out yesterday, he thought he would be back in the morning, so he didn't prepare food for the puppy.As a result, the little brother was hungry for a day and a night, lost a lot of weight, and his coat color was not so shiny, which made him feel full of guilt.

He opened the heavy backpack, carried it and dumped it on the table, and the large silver dollars and small gold bars inside jumped out one after another, and the crisp sound of precious metals colliding could be heard all over his ears.He took some and put them back in his bag, and locked the rest in the cabinet.

He glanced at the dagger given by Mr. Lin and put it in his backpack.After this ambush, he had a premonition that similar dangers would happen again, and he had to take countermeasures in advance.

He borrowed a bamboo hat from the guard, and walked along the road in front of the school to the famous commercial street nearby.The shops on both sides of the street after the rain are very popular.A young man and his girlfriend stopped in front of a bakery, and the shiny bicycle caught his attention.He politely asked the young man about the car's information, and he had a good idea.

In the early years of the Republic of China, bicycles were a luxury item in Beiping, and they were no less attractive than modern luxury cars.On clear days, most of the young people who come out to play on Western bicycles are from well-to-do families studying abroad.

Zhang Xiaofa decided to buy a car this time, not for the sake of being a cool girl, but for the emergency at critical moments.

After he asked about the price and where to buy the car, he quickly found a car dealership run by a German.Choosing a bike was not difficult for him, who has been a biker since elementary school, and it took half an hour to decide.

He saw that sunglasses, gloves, raincoats, flashlights and other supporting products were also sold in the car dealership, so he bought them and stuffed them into his backpack.He pedaled his bicycle along the road he came from, leaving the carriage and pedestrians far behind.He looked at a flock of white pigeons flying over the top of the church in the distance, and thought: Autumn is crisp and clear, so you can go to the Summer Palace and Yuanmingyuan.But, is it interesting to go alone?He lowered his head and thought of her again, so he rode to school in one breath and pushed the car into the dormitory.

In the afternoon, while he was preparing lessons at his desk, there was a knock on the door.

"Who are you looking for?" He asked without looking up.

"I'm looking for Teacher Zhang." A young girl's voice came from outside the door, clear and sweet.He couldn't help being stunned: It seems that it's not the housekeeper aunt.But what had the girl come to him for?
He opened the door.A handsome girl stood outside the door.She was wearing a neat and decent teacher's uniform, her hair was combed into a beautiful long braid, and she was carrying a camel-colored leather bag in her hand.She looked at him with a smile, and extended her hand generously: "Mr. Zhang, hello, I am the new second-grade Chinese teacher, Cheng Qianqian."

Out of politeness, he shook her hand lightly: "Do you have anything to do with me?"

Cheng Qianqian pointed to the two wicker boxes outside the door, and said with some embarrassment: "I accidentally left the key at home when I moved here today. My home is far away from the school, and I can only come back at night when I go back. Teacher Zhang please Please save your stuff, thanks!"

He never let girls in his room.But Cheng Qianqian is a colleague, and she only asked for help when she was in a hurry, so she agreed: "Okay, let's put it here."

Cheng Qianqian watched him carry the suitcase in and put it away, and couldn't help but look around the room carefully, but she didn't find the girl's belongings, and she was pleasantly surprised: he is not only handsome but also kind-hearted, and he seems to live alone...

Zhang Xiaofa, who returned to the table and concentrated on reading, didn't notice.He flipped through the book and said briefly, "Goodbye."

He worked at the table until dark, and it was not until the puppy woke up after eating the meat buns that he kept barking for dinner that he stood up and took it out the door.

In the stairwell, he met Cheng Qianqian who had returned from home.

"Ms. Zhang, have you had dinner yet?" She looked at him and the puppy and asked with concern.

"Getting ready to go."

"The cafeteria is closed at this time." She reminded kindly.

"I know, that's why I went out to eat."

"I haven't eaten either. Please take me out to find a place to eat. I've just arrived and I'm not familiar with the surrounding environment yet." Seeing him continue to go downstairs, she followed behind, her tone full of expectation, hoping that he would I can take her with me.

Zhang Xiaofa stopped, looked back at Cheng Qianqian, and agreed.

In order to prevent others from mistaking the two of them as boyfriend and girlfriend, he walked in front, she walked behind, and the puppy walked in the middle.Cheng Qianqian looked at his slender back, her face blushed quietly.

The nearest restaurant is at the west gate of the school.He has been here a few times and is very pleased with the dumplings and specials it serves.He once thought about finding a suitable weekend to bring Lin Mi together, but now he came to dinner with other girls by accident.He couldn't help but sigh in his heart that good fortune made people fool.
