Chapter 1949 Understanding
Feelings of being touched always came unexpectedly. Ye Jian held Mrs. Tong’s skinny hands tightly and said softly, “Thank you, Teacher. If you hadn’t told me… I really wouldn’t have known what you were thinking.”
“Since I got you to come to my Class One from Class Six, as the form teacher, I naturally had to be responsible for you. Your results were already very good, but you still needed help with people and things. I tried my best to help you, but the most important thing is that you were able to stand on your own.”
Then, Mrs. Tong joked, saying, “I’m also very proud. The smartest student I have has just realized that she’s not the teacher’s opponent.”
Ye Jian felt warmth in her heart. She smiled until her eyes curved into crescents. Her eyes that reflected the light were clear and bright like crystals. “In the eyes of all our classmates, you’re the best teacher. None of us is your match.”
“You’ll all surpass the teachers. At that time, the teachers will still be teachers, while all of you would’ve changed. You’ll all become pillars of support.” Mrs. Tong had a lot of confidence in this batch of students because of their unity and bond. Even if they were separated, Ye Jian’s influence on them would not disappear.
This was Ye Jian’s personal charm.
Ye Jian turned her body and hugged her teacher. She said softly, “You have to take care of yourself. You have to watch all the students in Class One become successful. We’ll make you proud.”
“I’m proud of you now. Why wait till the future?” Mrs. Tong tidied Ye Jian’s clothes for her and looked at the energetic girl. There was a gentle smile, and the wrinkles on her face seemed benevolent. “Lu Xin looks like an adult when he wears the military uniform. He’s very masculine. It’s a pity that I didn’t get to see you in your military uniform. Next time, send a photo of you in your military uniform so I can see what you look like in it.”
It was just a small request, but Ye Jian couldn’t satisfy it. She said in a low voice, “Teacher, I’m sorry. I purposely avoided getting photographed tonight. I even did some small actions to avoid getting my face captured. I didn’t let them take photos of my front view.”
Her words stunned Mrs. Tong. Couldn’t cadets get their photos taken? There was no such rule.
“There are some reasons that I can’t tell you. Please don’t be shocked,” Ye Jian lowered her eyes and explained softly.
Although she didn’t understand why, Mrs. Tong believed that there was a reason that couldn’t be said. She smiled slightly. “I know that you’re no longer an ordinary university student. You’re a soldier who will serve the country in the future. With your ability, I’m afraid you’re not an ordinary soldier.”
“It’s okay if you can’t do it. Just pretend that I didn’t say anything. Learn well and work hard in the future. I will always support you.”
Meeting a teacher like her who had such a high sense of morality had left a deep impact on Ye Jian. She affected all the students in Class One of Grade 12 as well.
After sending Mrs. Tong off, Ye Jian returned to the gathering venue. After that, the group of people went to the hotel’s karaoke room. All of them wanted to hang out for the entire night.
There was no need for the class to consider the fees. Zhang Yueyan’s and Yang Yi’s fathers would take care of everything. They also told them to thank Ye Jian.
Ye Jian and Lu Xin didn’t drink. In the end, they were the ones taking care of the drunk students. Ye Jian didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. Meng Wen carried a bottle of wine and ran to the stage, shouting that she wanted to catch whoever she wanted.
