“Teng Shu, what’s wrong? Are you unwell?”
Seeing Teng Shu’s sudden anxious expression and slightly pale face, Jiang Jie became nervous too.
“Could he have eaten the wrong thing?” the other teachers guessed.
“Impossible!” Jiang Jie looked at her plate and frowned. “He’s eating the same items as me.”
Teng Shu glanced in Lu Sheng’s direction and replied with flickering eyes, “I’m fine. Perhaps it’s because I didn’t sleep well yesterday.”
When Jiang Jie heard that, she could not be bothered to continue eating. She hurriedly helped him up and said, “Then hurry back and rest. There’s still class in the afternoon.”
Teng Shu shook his head. “I’m fine. Continue eating. I’ll go back myself.”
“Can you? Why don’t I accompany you to the sickbay to take a look?” Jiang Jie was still worried.
“No need. I’ll be fine after resting!”
Teng Shu patted her shoulder and revealed a reassuring smile before leaving with his lunch box.
Lu Sheng glanced in the direction where Teng Shu left. Then, she remembered Jiang Jie’s panic earlier and more or less guessed something.
She pouted and thought, ‘Do I look that scary?’
She did not look fierce!
Moreover, she did not like to break up an affectionate couple.
“Ah Yan, do I look scary?”
Lu Sheng stopped eating and asked Chu Yan gloomily.
Chu Yan paused and looked at her. “No, cute.”
“Not cute?” Lu Sheng’s eyes widened.
Chu Yan was helpless. “I mean, you’s not fierce. You’re very cute.”
“That’s more like it!” Lu Sheng smiled in satisfaction.
“You guys eat first. I’ll go and see Teng Shu.”
On the other hand, Jiang Jie quickly finished the food on her plate. After greeting the teachers, she left in a hurry.
—————
The next day, when Jiang Jie came to class, she seemed to be in a heavy mood.
In addition to the chatter in the class, she massaged her temples countless times.
“Teacher Jiang, are you unwell?”
Seeing her like this, Lu Sheng could not help but ask.
Jiang Jie was stunned. She forced a smile and shook her head. “Teacher is fine.”
Lu Sheng smiled and said, “I saw Teacher’s boyfriend yesterday. He’s very handsome.”
Chu Yan raised his eyebrows and tightened his grip on the pen.
“Really?”
At the mention of Teng Shu, Jiang Jie was brimming with happiness and gentleness.
However, she seemed to have thought of something in the next second. Her smile disappeared immediately and her eyes were filled with worry.
Lu Sheng was silent for a moment before asking, “Teacher, is your boyfriend sick?”
“How did you know?” Jiang Jie was surprised.
After Teng Shu returned from the dining hall yesterday, he became absent-minded.
Seeing her return, he became exceptionally clingy and would always hug her and say strange things.
He said things like “If I’m no longer around, remember to take care of yourself.”
Then, he said, “Don’t worry. No matter what, I won’t leave you!”
In short, he became very strange.
She wanted to bring him to the hospital, but he refused to go.
In the end, she had no choice but to buy some sleeping pills for him.
However, the medicine did not work. He was still in a trance and refused to let go of her this morning.
It was as if she would never see him again after leaving the house. It troubled her.
Lu Sheng smiled and said, “Teacher Jiang can tell him not to think too much. No one will stop him and no one will hurt him.”
Jiang Jie looked at her suspiciously, not understanding why Lu Sheng wanted her to tell Teng Shu this.
