Chapter 35：

After winter, Lin Zheng's condition became worse and worse. He even dared to doze off in Gu Nanzhi's class, even once or twice. Gu Nanzhi couldn't bear it like this every day.

"Lin Zheng." Gu Nanzhi stood on the podium and called Lin Zheng who was lying on the table to catch up on sleep after morning reading.

Lin Zheng was sleepy and unresponsive, Shi Qi quietly scratched her waist, trying to wake her up.

Unexpectedly, Lin Zheng had too much itchy meat here, and when Shi Qi's paw went down, she sat up violently, her eyes straightened.

Shi Qi cautiously stretched out his hand and shook it in front of her eyes, "Zhenger?"

Lin Zheng's body softened, his head tilted, and he collapsed again.

This time, what she touched when her side face fell was not the hard tabletop, but a soft palm.

Lin Zheng opened his eyes, unable to recover, staring straight ahead in a daze.

Ok? The belt with two Gs in a circle looks familiar, the waist surrounded by the belt is so thin.

Lin Zheng raised his hand, put his round fingertips on it, and poked the belly of the person in front of him.

Shi Qi gasped behind him, and wanted to push Lin Zheng to kneel in front of Gu Nanzhi on the spot.

Lin Zheng was still in the same confused state, poked happily and withdrew his hand, while picking at the horizontal line on the G, while moving his chaotic gaze upwards...

"Teacher Gu!" Seeing clearly who the person in front of him was, Lin Zheng woke up instantly, stood up with a swipe, his hands clinging to the seam of his trousers, and he was as upright as a soldier standing in a military posture, but he was roaring crazily inside.

Did she think she lived too long? Where is it bad to pick, but to pick, cough, pick Teacher Gu's belt? Still sleeping with someone's hand on your head? Is her face half a meter big enough? enough? !

The roar in Lin Zheng's heart rushed out of her chest, she didn't want to live anymore.

Gu Nanzhi had a panoramic view of Lin Zheng's little expression, she squeezed the hand that had hit the table when she caught Lin Zheng's head, and said sternly, holding back her wanting to laugh: "Come with me."

Lin Zheng already felt that life was hopeless, where else would he not dare to go? With her head down, she followed Gu Nanzhi out of the classroom step by step.

Behind him, Shi Qi followed Lin Zheng with sad eyes.

When he couldn't see anyone, Shi Qi immediately lit up his eyes, opened the material book, and drew a Q version of Xiaozheng being dragged away by the domineering master.

The theme of her next manga series Gufeng has come—the cold-faced master and her soft and cute little apprentice, "Great!"

Song Anshu saw that Shi Qi was entertaining herself, stretched out her long legs, hooked her stool obliquely, and asked, "What do you enjoy by yourself?"

Shi Qi turned his head, bared his teeth, gave him a ferocious look and then turned back, the whole process was ferocious.

Song Anshu retracted his feet innocently, stopped provoking others, and asked Yu Chuanbai who was doing his homework coolly, "Let's go to the toilet."

Yu Chuanbai didn't raise his head, "What's wrong, do you need someone to accompany you to the bathroom?"

Song Anshu hissed and stopped talking, did he blow up his hair in winter? One is harder to mess with than the other.

Finding no one to entertain, Song Anshu wrapped his down jacket tightly and decided to go out to get some air by himself. The classroom in winter was terribly stuffy.

Walking to the back door, Lin Zheng's coquettish voice stopped Song Anshu's leisurely pace.

"I was wrong." Lin Zheng puffed his cheeks and begged for mercy, "I promise tomorrow, no, I will study hard from today onwards, and I will definitely not fall asleep."

Gu Nanzhi lifted the textbook in his hand, knocked on Lin Zheng's head, and said with a serious expression like he usually taught disobedient students: "How many times have you made mistakes, and every time you admit your mistakes, you are sincere. What happens afterwards? You make mistakes in a blink of an eye. , where did the ears go?"

"Is the ear right here?" Lin Zheng grabbed the tip of the ear with both hands and lifted it up. She looks cute and cute, and there are so many reasons to argue, "This time it was really an accident."

Gu Nanzhi softened his attitude, but still asked with a suppressed expression, "What's the accident? I can't find a suitable punishment for copying the text ten times."

Lin Zheng put down her hands and rubbed her palms together, "It's been too cold recently, the radiator in my house is not hot, and there is no air conditioner in my room, so I can't sleep because of the cold at night. After a long time, it's almost dawn again, so I don't get enough sleep at night. , It’s easy to get sleepy when the classroom is warm.”

Gu Nanzhi frowned, "How long has it been?" Lin Zheng's home is an old community, without floor heating, and he relies on a few radiators for heating in the long winter. If it's not even hot here, how will Lin Zheng survive the whole winter.

Lin Zheng pursed her lips, and said indifferently: "It's been like this since the beginning of winter. I searched for properties a few times, but I didn't bother to call when I didn't see anyone there. Anyway, I don't stay at home for long."

Gu Nanzhi disapproved of Lin Zheng's way of smashing the cans, and thought for a while and said, "Wait for me at home tonight, and I'll go over to help you take a look after the meeting."

"No need." Lin Zheng quickly refused, "Isn't it the end-of-term teaching inspection recently? You are so busy, don't worry about me."

"I don't care who cares about you?" Gu Nanzhi looked at her angrily. Lin Zheng stuck out his tongue and dared not continue to refuse. He approached Gu Nanzhi with a smile, and said flatteringly, "Then I'll wait for you at home."

Gu Nanzhi gave a satisfied 'hmm', took out a notice from the book and handed it to Lin Zheng, saying: "For extracurricular activities in the afternoon, representatives of teachers and students from foreign cooperative schools will come to visit, and the school has organized a small performance. Teacher Huang wants to Let you perform calligraphy, are you interested?"

Lin Zheng didn't want to refuse, "I'm not interested." She used to like to show her face in front of people, but now no one applauds her no matter how hard she tries, so why waste that effort.

Gu Nanzhi nodded, "Okay, then I will find a reason to reject Teacher Huang."

Lin Zheng was sensitive and regretted it after she finished speaking. She took a deep breath and asked Gu Nanzhi, "Teacher Gu, are you unhappy?"

"Huh?" Gu Nanzhi looked at her, smiled and said, "There's nothing to be angry about. It was originally a matter of short notice. If you don't go, don't go. Don't have any psychological burden."

In my heart, Gu Nanzhi actually hoped that Lin Zheng would participate in more activities. If talent is hidden, it loses its original brilliance. However, since Lin Zheng is unwilling, she does not want to force it. Anyway, it will take a long time. There are opportunities.

"But will this make it difficult for you to do things with Mr. Huang?" Lin Zheng asked uncertainly.

Lin Zheng's first impression of Lao Huang was not good, and he never liked him after that. Now he looks at people with prejudice, so naturally everything is not good, and he always feels that he will take the opportunity to embarrass Gu Nanzhi.

Gu Nanzhi put the notice back into the book, and comforted her in a gentle voice, "I will take care of these things, you don't need to worry about it, just go to class well."

"Oh." Lin Zheng was not relieved by Gu Nanzhi's words, she tried to make herself agree, "Mr. Gu, do you want me to go?"

Gu Nanzhi, who was about to leave, stopped and asked amusedly: "Why do you ask that? Am I the answer to the multiple-choice question?"

"Lin Zheng, although I am your class teacher, I have no right to force you to do anything. You don't have to worry about me." Gu Nanzhi said.

Lin Zheng avoided Gu Nanzhi's gaze, rubbed his face childishly, and muttered softly, "It's not forced."

"what is that?"

"Just..." Lin Zheng kicked on the ground with his toes, and said awkwardly, "There are some things I only want to do for those who care. It's not interesting to simply show off or complete tasks."

"The implication is that I am the one you care about?" Gu Nanzhi asked, and the words she used undisguisedly made Lin Zheng's ears burn. She cared about Teacher Gu very much, and also liked her very much. After all, she fell in love with her. After so many years of studying, there is no teacher who can 'spoil' her like Gu Nanzhi, but it feels so strange to be told to her face.

"Teacher Gu treats me well, and I will definitely treat you well." Lin Zheng said coyly.

"That's it, then I accept it." Gu Nanzhi acquiesced in his attitude, and quickly added, "But anyway, you've 'wronged' yourself to think about me. You said, how should I pay you back? ?”

Lin Zheng shook her head, her voice soft and greasy, "You don't have to pay it back, I'm willing."

"Okay, then I will remember it first, and come to me after you think it over."

"Anything is fine?" Lin Zheng's dark eyes met the light, with a sly expression eager to fight.

Gu Nanzhi glanced at her with a warning in his eyes, and his voice was still gentle, "Don't push yourself too far."

Lin Zheng rubbed her face and said "oh".

Gu Nanzhi tilted his head and pointed in the direction of the teacher and said, "Okay, go back and prepare for class, and you are not allowed to sleep in class tomorrow."

Lin Zheng heyed and said nothing, his bright black eyes were as dazzling as jewels.

Watching Gu Nanzhi leave, Lin Zheng happily walked back, turned his gaze, and bumped into Song Anshu who had been leaning against the back door for an unknown amount of time.

Lin Zheng looked back at Gu Nanzhi subconsciously, as if he was caught doing something bad, and then walked up to Song Anshu with a guilty conscience and said, "It's quite cold at the door."

Song Anshu still had the same bland expression, raised his chin, pointed to the direction Gu Nanzhi left and asked, "Did you offend Teacher Gu again? I think she had an ugly expression when she left."

"Huh?" Ugly? She thinks it's pretty good, she's smiling, no, Song Anshu didn't hear what they said, or why would she ask that.

Lin Zheng immediately felt relieved, his expression collapsed, and he said sadly: "I dozed off in self-study early, you didn't see Mr. Gu's murderous appearance, it's super scary."

Lin Zheng also learned a fierce expression while talking, to show the truth of the incident.

Song Anshu looked at her for a few seconds without speaking, then turned and walked towards the toilet.

Lin Zheng stood in the wind, stomping her feet in the cold, but all the coldness couldn't compare to the heat in her heart. Teacher Gu solved so many troubles for her, this time it was finally her turn to do something for Teacher Gu.

She has expectations in her heart, and she is very happy to look forward to the feeling of going home.

——

As soon as the afternoon class ended, Gu Nanzhi asked someone to tell Lin Zheng to go to the No. 1 conference room of the complex building to find the teacher in charge of the event to sign in, and the process was arranged by him.

After Lin Zheng received the notice, she ran non-stop. She was enthusiastic, but she didn't like to be lively. After explaining the situation to the teacher in charge, she sat in the corner and read idle books by herself.

Some time ago, I begged Gu Nanzhi to recommend the book. Lin Zheng liked it very much. Every time I read it, I would think, "How would Teacher Gu understand this?"

Lin Zheng is not a stubborn person, but she especially likes to be "realistic" with this book. She doesn't know why, but she just thinks that if the two understand the same, there will be a kind of like-minded closeness.

"Student, is there anyone sitting here?" A shadow came down from the side, and the elegant voice interrupted Lin Zheng's thoughts. She raised her head and looked at the person beside her. She didn't have much impression, but her straight gaze made the other party smile, "Is there something on my face?" The man asked with a smile.

Lin Zheng came to his senses, quickly closed the book and stood up, saying, "I'm sorry, there is no one here, you can sit wherever you want."

The man sat down with a smile, his posture was casual but casual, "Are you also here to perform?" He took the initiative to talk.

Lin Zheng nodded and replied politely, "Yes, but it's not a very good show, so I'll write a few words."

"Calligraphy?" The man smiled warmly. He looked at Lin Zheng when he was talking. His eyes that had experienced years of precipitation were particularly comfortable. "Nowadays, most children learn musical instruments. It is rare to practice calligraphy. Why do you like calligraphy?"

Lin Zheng put the book on his lap, grasped it with both hands, and smiled brightly, "It's not that I like it, it's that my parents like it, so I just kept practicing."

A trace of tension flashed across the man's gentle brows and eyes, and soon, Lin Zheng didn't catch it, and continued to say along the raised head, "They like to watch me write, and they say that girls who smell like books are more attractive. pain…"

Once the chatterbox was opened, it was difficult to stop. The teacher in charge of the activities over there came to call for someone, and Lin Zheng hurriedly stood up and said, "Excuse me, I have to go to get ready first."

"Okay." The man's voice was very weak. He didn't know if he was immersed in Lin Zheng's story, or if her story brought back some memories. He sank into the chair and fell into his own world.

After a long time, his voice came out again from an unoccupied corner, with a very soft sentence - "Zhenger..."
