Back at school, Su Mian found some time to reply to Wei Zhen Hui. Wei Min was particularly curious about what she wrote in the letter.
“Look at your pretty face, what on earth did you write to my brother? Can’t you just let me have a peek? Please!” Wei Min was insensitive about her own relationship, but she was very curious when she saw others in a relationship.
“You are not allowed to see!” Su Mian said sternly. She was afraid that her usual attitude would not be able to restrain Wei Min, so she deliberately put up her strict face. Sure enough, Wei Min looked at her and her smile went off immediately, “What’s wrong, you are not really angry, are you?”
Su Mian dipped the envelope with the paste, put a stamp on it, and dropped the envelope into the post box. Then she smiled and said, “I did that on purpose, I was afraid you might snatch it!”
“Fine, Su Mian, tell me, you did write something embarrassing, didn’t you?” Wei Min said and went for Su Mian’s armpits. her whole body was tickled. Su Mian feinted and managed to flee far away.
“Su Mian, if you don’t let me tickle you today, I will complain to my brother!”
“告我什么啊？告我不让你看信啊，你可以让他给你看！”苏绵倒着走，还警惕地和魏敏保持着距离。
“You want to complain about me for what? Complain that I didn’t allow you to read the letter? You can ask him to let you have a look!” Su Mian walked backwards, vigilantly keeping a distance from Wei Min.
Wei Min ran a few steps and whispered, “I will tell my brother, that your whole body is ticklish, if you are disobedient in the future, let’s see how my brother takes care of you! Hahaha!” After Wei Min said, she ran towards the school.
Su Mian helplessly followed.
But what she feared the most was to be tickled by the others. She would laugh and laugh all the time, and even burst out with tears.
If Wei Zhen Hui really knew about this, and if he dared to tickle her, she would cry for him, hmph!
The night self-study was the class of the algebra teacher, and Wang Yu Zhu was still sitting on the podium as usual, watching these students quietly. In another three months time, these children would have graduated, and he would also be retired. The 40 years of his teaching career flew bit by bit through in his mind. He was proud and frivolous when he was young, and he had not succeeded in his aspirations by the time he was middle-aged, and now he had accepted everything.
His wife passed away early. Both his sons had already got married. They were filial and successful in their careers. Their grandchildren were healthy and smart. What else was regrettable in his life like this?
Even if the operation was unsuccessful, he had nothing to worry about.
Su Mian looked at the algebra teacher. He was as amiable and approachable as ever, with a smile on his face from beginning to end. If you saw him for the first time, you would never expect that he was a patient who would undergo a major operation in a few days time.
Although Su Mian knew him for two lives, she had only recently started to understand him.
The operation was just a few days later, yet he was still passionate about working as a teacher. He was indeed a respectable person!
Su Mian’s eyes reddened unconsciously; sometimes fate was like this, and illnesses took special care of good people.
The three periods of classes passed quickly, and the algebra teacher walked out of the classroom. After he turned around, two lines of tears were still shed. This was his last class before the operation.
He didn’t know if he still had the chance to walk back into the classroom again, to have another look at these energetic children again, to pick up his favorite textbooks again, to hold once again the chalk that always got his hands dirty every time, and to explain to the students again…
He looked at the brightly lit classroom, countless memory fragments flipped in his mind. He once felt timid as he was giving a lecture on the podium for the very first time, he once felt nervous as he was writing on the board for the very first time, and the experience of scolding the students who were not attentive for the very first time…
Time flew, 40 years were just in the blink of an eye…
Su Mian asked Wei Min to go back first. She wanted to have a few words with the algebra teacher.
“Teacher, please wait for a moment!” Su Mian shouted clearly from behind.
Wang Yu Zhu secretly wiped away the tears from his face with his back towards Su Mian. When he turned around, he was the amiable old man again, “What’s the matter, Su Mian, is there anything?”
The tear marks on the face of the algebra teacher were faintly visible. Su Mian pretended not to see it, and said cheerfully, “Teacher, Dean Li and I will do our best for the operation on Saturday. Don’t put too much pressure on yourself. The success rate is 80%.” Su Mian spoke all about the positives, but what many people didn’t know was that liver cancer was very easy to relapse after surgery. There were many reasons for that and the situation was more complicated, but anyway, those were the things to worry about after the operation.
