We ordinary people also need to fall in love.

The math teacher had incredibly sharp eyesight; he could spot even the slightest movement during class, making him practically an eagle-eyed man. Li Mubai dared not make any small movements.

After class, Li Mubai turned around, pointed to the notebook, and asked, "What does this mean?"

Chen Qiuhe gestured for him to be quiet, indicating that he should write it down in the notebook.

Indeed, if other classmates heard this, rumors might spread the next day.

"What do you mean?"

"It's nothing, I just have a friend who's being ambiguous with a guy, and everyone says they're dating, but they're not actually together. I wanted to ask you guys what you think about this kind of thing."

Dian Zhongdian has a friend. Could this person be Chen Qiuhe? Chen Qiuhe seems to be quite close to this guy. Some people say they're dating? Li Mubai's brain raced.

"I think the second year of high school is a crucial time to lay a solid foundation, and we should focus our energy on studying."

"Are you possessed by your homeroom teacher?"

"Sigh, when you reach my age, you'll understand the joy of learning."

"I'm actually a few months older than you!"

Li Mubai couldn't be sure if Chen Qiuhe was referring to herself. What if she really had a friend? He should still be careful about keeping his distance in the future.

The last class in the morning was politics. However, several minutes after the bell rang, Wu Changguo still hadn't arrived. Just as the politics class representative was about to go to the office, Teacher Kong from the politics group rushed over.

"Classmates, Teacher Wu Changguo had a minor accident on the way, so I will be teaching your class politics class from now on."

Teacher Kong's words caused a huge uproar in the class.

"Teacher Kong, was Teacher Wu in a car accident?"

Is it serious?

"Which hospital is it? Should we go visit them?"

……

Teacher Kong waved his hand: "Alright, students, we can discuss these questions after class. Let's start the lesson now."

"Teacher Wu was in a car accident?" Chen Qiuhe wrote in her notebook.

"That sounds right."

"What should we do? Should we go to the hospital to visit them?"

"It's okay, the class should organize it."

After class, the students quickly surrounded Teacher Kong and asked him all sorts of questions about their homeroom teacher.

Teacher Kong said helplessly, "You guys go eat first, class monitor, come with me for a moment."

Actually, Teacher Wu is quite good; he's strict when he needs to be, and relaxed when he needs to be.

Sigh, it's still quite disheartening for Li Mubai. He was perfectly fine yesterday, and today he's in the hospital. Accidents always catch us off guard, so we should cherish every moment.

The whole class was talking about this all afternoon.

The integrated practical class is actually just a self-study class, since the campus vegetable garden hasn't been built yet.

Xie Shu relayed the information he received from Teacher Kong: it was just a minor car accident, not serious, and he would need to stay at Pingyang City First People's Hospital for a week.

"Teacher Kong said that if we want to visit Teacher Wu, we should do it this weekend. The group shouldn't be too large, preferably one girl and one boy to represent our class."

There's a lingering sense of foreboding...

"Then I think the class monitor and vice class monitor should represent our (3) class," Deng Yi said, raising her hand.

I think it's a good idea.

"Sure, sure, I'd like to visit the new exhibition at the provincial museum this weekend."

……

Ugh, you're going to visit a museum? Do you think I have nothing to do this weekend?

Li Mubai roared inwardly. Although he was indeed fine, it didn't mean he was willing to go.

However, as the vice class monitor, he couldn't very well refuse this task of representing the class.

If he goes, this will be the first time he's been with Xie Shu off-campus, and it might also be the last.

The matter was quickly settled, but the details still needed to be discussed between the two of them.

Li Mubai patted the bread in his pocket, deciding to ask about it when he went to clean up after evening self-study.

During evening self-study, Chen Qiuhe wrote and drew in her notebook again, and then handed it to him.

"I'm so lucky! I'm going on a date with the school beauty this weekend."

"Where is the happiness? Where is the date? We are here on behalf of the class to express our blessings to Teacher Wu."

"hey-hey."

Chen Qiuhe laughed, seemingly confused, while Li Mubai ignored her and continued doing his homework.

After evening self-study ended, Li Mubai slung his backpack over his shoulder and waited for Xie Shu at the classroom door. He watched the bustling students heading to their dormitories, chasing and playing in small groups, and a sense of loneliness welled up in his heart. It seemed that his life consisted of nothing but studying. He had never been to a museum or eaten at a barbecue buffet.

"What are you looking at?" Xie Shu's voice came from beside him, startling Li Mubai.

"No...no."

"Oh, let's go then."

Xie Shu kept repeating to him, "Let's go," as if inviting him to come along.

Her backpack was blue and white, and looked very flat. She didn't carry too many books. If she carried it like a bulging bomb, it would probably look out of character.

The moonlight is lovely tonight. Not all the lights in the teaching building are on; in the places where the lights don't reach, the moonlight secretly occupies its own corner.

When I arrived at the club activity room, thankfully all the cleaning supplies were ready, so I didn't have to go to the classroom to get them.

Li Mubai began cleaning the floor, while Xie Shu wiped the tables and chairs with a rag.

Actually, the activity room is a great study room with a good learning environment and lots of books. But students are usually not allowed to use such places privately, Li Mubai thought.

After mopping the floor, Li Mubai opened the window to ventilate the room. The water on the floor dried quickly in the summer. After locking the door, he could go back to his dormitory.

"Thank you for your help today," Xie Shu said to him.

"No trouble at all, it's what I should do as a member of the club."

"Are you coming to the club recruitment interviews tomorrow?"

"Um...do I want to come too?"

Shouldn't this be something the president and vice president do? However, because the literary club has a small number of members, there is only a president and no vice president.

"Yes, I'm coming," Xie Shu said softly.

"OK."

The two fell silent for a few seconds.

"By the way, class monitor, which day of the week are we going to visit Teacher Wu?" Li Mubai asked.

"Saturday morning at 10:00 AM, at the subway station entrance near the First Municipal Hospital, is that alright?"

"OK."

As they approached the dormitory, Li Mubai began, "Class...Class."

"What's wrong?"

"Class monitor, I'm going back to the dorm now."

"Okay, see you tomorrow."

"goodbye."

After parting ways with Xie Shu, Li Mubai touched his burning face, feeling incredibly embarrassed. He had just wanted to say, "Class monitor, could I add your contact information so we can talk on Saturday?" But his nervousness caused him to stutter, and the words seemed stuck in his throat, preventing him from speaking.

Sigh, it's easier to say things through typing. It seems I can only add Xie Shu on QQ through group chat. I hope I won't be rejected.

"Lao Bai's back. How's it going? Have you made any plans? You're going on a date with Xie Shu on Saturday."
