Touching emotions always came inadvertently. Ye Jian held Teacher Tong’s thin hands tightly and said softly, “Thank you, Teacher, if you didn’t tell me this…I really wouldn’t know your intentions.”
“Since I have taught you from Class 6 to Class 1, as the head teacher, I must be responsible for you. Your grades are already very good, but you weren’t good at communicating with others. I can help you as much as possible, but the most important thing is you have to rely on yourself to stand up.”
Then Teacher Tong teased her, somewhat like an old naughty kid, “I feel very proud. The smartest student in my class has only now realized my effort. It is true that a student is not a teacher’s opponent.”
Ye Jian, with a warm heart, smiled until her eyebrows were crooked, her eyes shining in the light were clear and dazzling, like crystal, “You are the most powerful teacher in our eyes; none of us are your opponent.”
“You all will surpass me one day. By that time, I will still be a teacher, but you all won’t be the same. You are all talented.” Teacher Tong had considerable confidence in this class of students because the student in front of her would always affect the entire class; even if separated, her influence would not disappear.
This was Ye Jian, her personality charm alone.
Ye Jian lightly hugged her Teacher and said softly, “You have to be well. You have to watch all of us succeed and be proud of us.”
“I’m proud of all of you already; why wait until later.” Teacher Tong tidied her clothes and looked at the energetic girl with a gentle smile on her kind, wrinkled face, “Lu Xin is just like an adult in military uniform, very masculine. Unfortunately, I did not see you in your military uniform. Send me a picture of you wearing your military uniform next time. I want to see what you look like.”
It was just a small request, but Ye Jian couldn’t meet it; she replied in a low voice, “Teacher, I’m sorry, I have deliberately avoided taking pictures tonight. Even in group photos where they are unavoidable, I made a small gesture to block myself and make sure that my front face was not taken.”
Teacher Tong was taken aback by her words, couldn’t military academy students take pictures? There couldn’t be such a rule.
“There are some unspeakable reasons; please forgive me.” Ye Jian looked down and explained gently.
Although she didn’t understand why Teacher Tong believed that there was indeed an unexplainable reason, she smiled slightly, “I know that you are not an ordinary college student now, but you are a soldier who will serve the country in the future. With your ability, I’m afraid you’re not going to be an ordinary soldier.”
“It’s okay, just pretend that I didn’t say anything, study hard and work hard in the future; I will always support you.”
Such a class teacher with lofty ethics had a very profound impact on Ye Jian and the entire Senior Class 1 students.
Ye Jian, who had sent Teacher Tong away, returned to the gathering. Then, the students went to a KTV set up in the hotel; they all wanted to play all night.
They didn’t think too much about the price. Zhang Yueyan and Yang Yi’s father had got all the costs covered, and they told them to thank Ye Jian again.
Ye Jian and Lu Xin did not drink. In the end, they and other students who also didn’t drink had to take care of the drunk classmates during the second half of the night.
What made Ye Jian even more dumbfounded was when she saw Meng Wen holding a beer, running around to the stage shouting that she was going to chase after whom.
