Chapter 108
It was Wednesday. In the afternoon, the school organized a jogging event.
Yu Na was also on the playground, chatting with other teachers.
Suddenly, there was a commotion behind her.
"Xu Yi!!!"
When Yu Na heard the name, her heart skipped a beat.
Xu Yi accidentally fell while jogging.
Yu Na didn't care about anything else and ran over there swiftly, but she had just taken two steps when Xu Yi was carried up.
Taking a closer look, it was Qiao Rui.
Qiao Rui didn't bother to greet the teachers. He carried Xu Yi and ran towards the infirmary.
Yu Na followed closely behind and asked Hao Lei to be in charge of discipline before going to the infirmary.
When they arrived at the infirmary, Xu Yi was getting her bandages changed while Qiao Rui sat at the bedside and asked, "Can you walk?"
Xu Yi nodded, "I'm fine, it doesn't hurt anymore."
"Who are you kidding?" Qiao Rui sighed. "You just stay in the classroom these two days and don't run anymore. I'll carry you back to the dorm at night?"
Xu Yi stared at him in a daze, just as she was about to say something, Qiao Rui suddenly crossed his legs and added lazily, "Not expensive, ten bucks a trip."
"......"
Yu Na, who was at the door, heard everything clearly: "......"
He's exactly like his brother.
Xu Yi noticed Yu Na first.
"Teacher Yu..."
She tried to stand up but was stopped by Yu Na, "Don't move."
Qiao Rui also looked back. Without the previous panic, he said lazily, "Well, the hero saves the beauty, I just want to keep a low profile."
Yu Na ignored him and greeted the school doctor. Then she sat on the bedside and asked Xu Yi, "What happened? Where did you get injured? Did you hurt your bones?"
"I'm fine, teacher. Just some scraped skin, no big deal."
Yu Na breathed a sigh of relief, "Don't run these days before the finals, just rest in the classroom."
"OK."
Qiao Rui tutted twice, "Teacher Xu, you don't listen to me but listen to Teacher Yu, right?"
Yu Na asked curiously, "What Teacher Xu?"
Xu Yi's face turned red as she explained shyly, "It's like this. Qiao Rui takes good care of me usually, so I agreed to tutor him. As you know, his mouth is..." very cheap.
Yu Na could deeply relate to this.
She couldn't help but laugh, "So that's why he has improved so much recently." She patted Qiao Rui on the head, "Then you'd better thank Teacher Xu properly."
Qiao Rui: "How about I marry you?"
"............"
Xu Yi just scraped some skin on her leg. Yu Na let her rest in the classroom before running again after the finals.
Xiao Chen: ?
There's actually this kind of explanation?
As soon as she snuggled into his arms, his anger vanished. "OK."
They picked a romance movie to watch with the projector.
But when the movie started, Xiao Chen couldn't concentrate on it at all.
He sat with his legs folded on the bed, suddenly asking, "What do you think your dad will do when he sees me? Kick me right out?"
Yu Na stroked his hair, "No...don't overthink it, be good."
"I don't think so. You used me as a scapegoat before, saying I was your boyfriend. Your dad almost turned green with anger."
"That was because..." Yu Na happened to be watching the movie and answered casually, "You argued with him in public, saying he didn't respect his daughter's choice at all. He felt he lost face."
"But there's no way he would hold it against you after so many years, right?"
"Yeah..."
Xiao Chen hung his head dejectedly, "Yu Na, I really regret it."
"Hmm? What do you regret?" Yu Na turned her attention away from the movie. "Regret what?"
"I should never have argued with him back then. You said I was asking for it. I would feel much more confident meeting him now if I hadn't argued with him."
Xiao Chen muttered to himself, "I shouldn't have said those things. If I hadn't said them, his impression of me wouldn't be so bad now...It's all my fault, all my fault..."
"What to do now...*sigh*"
"I don't expect him to like me. I just hope he would agree to us getting married."
"*Sigh*...I shouldn't have been so cheeky."
"Shouldn't have been so cheeky..."
"I'm scared of both horror movies and your dad."
Yu Na: ?
He must be really drunk now to say something like this that he would only say when intoxicated.
Moreover, Yu Na saw the shimmering tears in his eyes.
She panicked at once and abandoned the movie plot to hug him tightly, "Why are you crying?"
Yu Na held Xiao Chen in her arms, "There, there, don't worry. I'm so scared of him that I'll just let nature take its course now. Right?"
"It's alright, be good." Yu Na ruffled his hair, "All my documents are with me. Even if he really disagrees, it'll be fine."
Xiao Chen said aggrievedly, "But I want you to marry me fair and square..."
"That can happen too," Yu Na soothed him gently while holding him, "Since he took the initiative to say he wants to meet you, it means he is probably prepared to agree. With your excellent background and powerful family status, it would not be in his own interest to disagree either. He didn't know about your family before, right?"
That was her statement, but Yu Na herself wasn't sure either.
Her heart was filled with both anticipation and fear.
It felt like their fate would be decided when they meet her father tomorrow.
Just then, Yu Na suddenly felt the person in her arms start to become restless.
After getting over his distress, Xiao Chen's head deliberately nuzzled her softest parts twice.
Yu Na: "......?"
