Chapter 184 What pleasure could two women possibly have?
"Really? That would be great!"

Seeing Lu Tingting's face on the verge of tears, Shen Yanzhi realized he had inadvertently revealed his true feelings and quickly tried to salvage the situation, saying, "Teacher Lu, what I meant was that you can go home and reunite with your family. They must miss you very much. I wish you a safe journey home in advance."

Lu Tingting pouted, "Teacher Shen, I'm not stupid. You just find me annoying and can't wait for me to leave. Don't you like me even a little bit? Am I that hateful to you?"

"I'm sorry, Teacher Lu, I believe you will definitely meet someone who is compatible with you in the future."

Lu Tingting returned to the guesthouse dejectedly.

As soon as I entered the guesthouse courtyard, I heard a familiar voice overhead: "Hey~"

She looked up, glaring angrily at Jiang Moli, who was smiling and waving at her from the second-floor railing: "What?"

"Don't look down, it makes you look shorter."

Lu Tingting glared at her fiercely.

She stormed upstairs and went to Jiang Moli's room, saying, "It was all your bad ideas; they were completely useless."

"Is it possible that you're completely useless?"

Lu Tingting was furious: "Am I that ugly?"

Jiang Moli stepped forward and patted her on the shoulder, comforting her, "Don't be too sad. Think about it from another perspective. Even if you are a toad, you are still a toad with ideals. After all, you once pursued swans."

Lu Tingting cried in anger.

The next day was the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the school held a Mid-Autumn Festival party.

As night fell, the flickering campfire illuminated the playground.

The piano, which had been gathering dust for a long time, was carried to the foot of the flagpole.

Shen Yanzhi, dressed in white, sat in front of the piano, his slender fingers playing beautiful music.

Accompanied by piano music, the students swayed their heads and sang loudly in unison: "The stars in the sky don't speak, the children on the ground miss their mothers..."

A loud song pierced the night sky.

The students' innocent and childlike faces were vividly illuminated by the red flames.

Lu Tingting would occasionally raise her hand to wipe away her tears.

So sad, so reluctant to part.

Jiang Moli teased her, "If you're so reluctant to leave, why don't you just stay and not go?"

Lu Tingting glared at her with red, watery eyes: "Why didn't you stay?"

"I have other things to do when I go back."

"Don't give me that, you just think this place is too poor."

The two had barely exchanged a few words when the song suddenly stopped, and the children's unified voices filled the air:
"Teacher Jiang, Teacher Lu, thank you for your selfless dedication and hard work in teaching. You've worked so hard!"

Tonight is both a Mid-Autumn Festival gala and a farewell party for the two of them.

Lu Tingting cried even more uncontrollably.

After the party, Jiang Moli helped clean up the venue.

"Teacher Jasmine."

Jiang Moli turned around and smiled at the Zhong Xin'er and Zhong Xi'er sisters who had called out to her.

"what happened?"

Zhong Xin'er said shyly, "Can I write to you after you return to your hometown?"

Jiang Moli smiled and said, "Sure, you can write the letter and give it to Lu Ying, and he will mail it to me."

Zhong Xier blinked her bright eyes and asked in a clear voice, "Teacher Jasmine, will you come back in the future?"

The affection in the other person's eyes warmed Jiang Moli's heart.

She touched the other's face and said, "You sisters must study hard in the future, not for your parents or your teachers, but for yourselves. The more you study, the more choices you will have in the future."

Both sisters nodded earnestly.

Although the family members always spoke ill of Teacher Jasmine behind her back, saying that Jasmine was not serious about her work and was lazy.

But in their hearts, Teacher Jasmine was a very, very good person.

Not only did they teach them to sing and act in skits, and tell them about the wonders of the outside world, they also took them to the city to broaden their horizons.

The short month they spent together left a deep and lasting impression on their entire childhood.

They will never forget Teacher Jasmine for the rest of their lives!
After packing up, Jiang Moli prepared to return to the guesthouse.

A quick glance around revealed Lu Tingting squatting on the flagpole like a mushroom, lost in thought.

She stepped forward and said, "Let's go, go back to sleep."

Lu Tingting looked at her with red eyes and said in a muffled voice, "I don't want to go back."

"Then you can sleep here."

Jiang Moli turned and left after she finished speaking.

Lu Tingting stared at her retreating figure, and seeing her getting further and further away, she quickly jumped off the flag platform to chase after her. That damned woman, she really didn't wait for her.

They probably wish they could keep her here.

Back at the guesthouse, Lu Tingting didn't go back to her own room, but followed Jiang Moli to Jiang Moli's room.

Jiang Moli looked at her and asked, "Why are you following me?"

Lu Tingting said arrogantly, "My legs are my own, what's it to you?"

Jiang Moli grinned, "Okay, you can come in and help me pack my things."

"You think beautiful!"

Once inside the room, Jiang Moli ignored Lu Tingting and started packing her luggage.

Lu Tingting wandered around like a lost soul.

"what is this?"

Jiang Moli turned around and saw that Lu Tingting was holding a sorghum liquor bottle, which was half-filled with a rose-red liquid.

It was rose wine that Jiang Wenjuan gave her a couple of days ago, saying that drinking it would beautify her skin.

Lu Cheng wasn't around these past two days, and she didn't like drinking alone, so she left it there.

"Rose wine."

Upon hearing that it was alcohol, Lu Tingting unscrewed the bottle cap, sniffed it, and said to Jiang Moli, "Get me a glass, I want to drink."

"How about I prepare some snacks for you to go with your drinks?"

"You know the truth."

Jiang Moli laughed in exasperation.

However, I still took two glasses, poured some wine, and put some dried fruit and snacks that I had bought earlier on the table as appetizers.

They say a drink can dispel a thousand sorrows, but I wonder if it can ease the sorrow in her heart.

The rose wine lives up to its name, with a rich rose aroma and a hint of honey sweetness; it tastes quite good.

Jiang Moli downed the rest of her drink in one gulp, picked up the bottle to pour some more, when Lu Tingting across from her slammed her hand on the table.

"I can't figure it out!"

As Jiang Moli poured the wine, she said, "If you can't figure something out, just leave it. You won't remember it in a couple of days."

Lu Tingting glared at her like a rabbit: "You were able to marry my third uncle, what's wrong with me? Why doesn't Teacher Shen like me? Why?"

Jiang Moli took a sip of the sweet rose wine and offered a perfunctory word of comfort:

"It's okay. Maybe one day in the future, your teacher Shen will walk up to you in a formal suit, holding flowers, and gently say, 'Please move aside, you're blocking my way.'"

Lu Tingting's mouth pursed into a fish-like shape, and the next second she burst into tears.

The room door was suddenly opened from the outside.

Seeing Lu Cheng enter, travel-worn, Jiang Moli's eyes held a surprise she herself didn't realize:

"Why are you back?"

"Third Uncle, sob sob sob..."

"What happened to her? Did you beat her up?"

Seeing his niece weeping bitterly, Lu Cheng asked in a hoarse voice.

"I'm heartbroken."

Hearing her say that, Lu Cheng sat down next to Jiang Moli without giving his niece another glance, looking at her with doting eyes.

"I took a day off and will take you to Kunming to catch the train tomorrow morning."

The man's eyes were bloodshot like a spider web, and the stubble on his chin had grown out by half an inch.

You can imagine how hard he worked to get this one day off.

A tender feeling welled up in Jiang Moli's heart, and she stood up and said, "I'll get you a glass of water."

"You can have yours."

As he spoke, he picked up the enamel cup in front of her, brought it to his eyes, realized it contained wine, and put it back on the table.

"You guys seem to be having a great time."

"What fun can two women have?"

Jiang Moli picked up the thermos and found it was empty.

When Lu Cheng was around, the thermos was always full of hot water.

His absence has thrown her life into chaos.

The room was a mess, there were footprints on the floor, and the thermos was not filled with hot water.
