Rebirth: Starting from a Trainee Teacher

Chapter 32 Teacher Gu, you really don't treat me as an outsider

Gu Jia and Zhou Jing are in the same office, office 107.

On the morning of September 9, while no one was in the office, Zhou Jing planned to tidy up Gu Jia's desk. Zhao Xin, his high school chemistry teacher, was also in this office, so Zhou Jing helped them tidy up. He did not touch their file boxes and storage boxes, but just wiped the table, cabinet and chair.

This is not only a matter of social etiquette, but also a way of repaying the teacher's teachings.

Zhou Jing went to the water room and filled half a basin with water. He washed the rag and wiped Gu Jia's desk first. He wiped it very carefully, including the table top, glass partition, cabinet below, seat and chair legs, etc. Then he wiped Zhao Xin's desk. He poured out the dirty water, filled half a basin with water again and wiped it again. Finally, he washed the mop and mopped the office floor.

"Thank you for your hard work, Xiao Zhou."

Cao Long, the head teacher of Class 1, Grade 1, came to the office and said with a gentle smile.

"It's not hard, I'm just sitting around doing nothing."

Zhou Jing is the youngest person in the office, and everyone in the office is a senior, so he should be more diligent in his daily life.

Cao Long admired this young man very much. He was polite, hardworking, and didn't care about being at a disadvantage in the office. It was hard not to like such a young man.

Zhou Jing had lunch early and called Gu Jia around noon. It was important to be proactive at times like this.

Gu Jia's luggage included a suitcase and many other bags. The car could not reach the school dormitory building, and she could not carry them all at once. Moreover, the dormitory was on the third floor, so when she arrived at the school, she asked Zhou Jing to pick her up at the parking lot.

Zhou Jing didn't delay at all, hung up the phone and went straight to the parking lot.

The school parking lot is on the east side of the playground basketball court. Three years ago, it was a weed-covered vacant lot next to the toilet. It was the favorite place of the poor students in school. They would come here to use the toilet and smoke a cigarette during breaks. Sometimes they would be caught by the academic dean or other school leaders, so they would always look out for wind when smoking.

When he reached the edge of the playground, Zhou Jing saw his English teacher Gu Jia standing next to a red Hyundai sedan from afar.

At this time, Gu Jia had long wavy hair, a white chiffon shirt on her upper body, and a blue denim A-line skirt on her lower body. Her long legs seemed to be glowing softly in the sun, which brought Zhou Jing's thoughts back to the summer of 2006. That summer, he was really fascinated by Gu Jia's legs and fell in love with English class because of Gu Jia.

Not only Zhou Jing, many boys in the class fell in love with English class because of Gu Jia.

"Teacher Gu is still so beautiful and charming."

When they got to the car, Zhou Jing praised politely.

"You mean I'm not as good as I used to be now that I'm old?"

A confident smile spread across Gu Jia's face, and her gaze stayed on the boy for two seconds.

"How could that be? She is more charming than before. A goddess never ages."

Zhou Jing started to flatter Gu Jia as soon as he opened his mouth, implying that she was his former goddess.

As he spoke, Zhou Jing took the initiative to take the luggage. He pulled the suitcase with his right hand, picked up the largest bag with his left hand, and then picked up another bag.

Gu Jia should be twenty-six or twenty-seven years old this year. Her mature temperament adds a bit of charm to her, making her even more attractive. It is no exaggeration to say that she is the goddess of high school boys.

"You are so smooth-talking, but you are much more sensible."

Gu Jia smiled and felt inexplicably happy.

"You've grown up!"

Zhou Jing had a sunny smile on his face and his words and actions were calm and unhurried.

Although Gu Jia has a great favor to Zhou Jing, Zhou Jing is not so servile as to bow down to her, and he has not yet reached the point where he needs to sell his dignity. Now he is so attentive to Gu Jia more out of respect and love, and it is an attitude. It is a taboo in the human world to act indifferent to others when they help you a lot. It is more sincere to repay the favor afterwards.

"Take less and give me one bag."

The boy’s sunny smile made Gu Jia particularly happy. Being with young people allowed her to maintain a young mentality herself. This was the main reason why Gu Jia insisted on being a teacher.

"It's okay, it's not sinking. If there's a sinking one, Teacher Gu, leave it there first. I'll send it to the dormitory and come back to get it."

Zhou Jing carried the luggage and walked ahead.

"They are all clothes that don't sink. Has your work been going well during this period?"

Gu Jia locked the car, picked up the remaining luggage and followed behind.

Gu Jia was also very emotional about the student she once taught who is now her colleague. Although there was a small incident with this student back then, in which another boy used a small mirror to look at her skirt and Zhou Jing just glanced at it, and she made things difficult for Zhou Jing because of this, her overall impression of this student was good. No matter how she made things difficult for him, he was always polite and courteous and would not show any dissatisfaction.

As for boys, there is a saying on the Internet that if you are young, you will never be a good boy. Gu Jia thinks it makes sense. As long as you don't make mistakes, it is not a shortcoming. Gu Jia didn't target Zhou Jing because she was really angry. She just took it as the fun of the class and the joy of being a teacher. At the same time, she was taking care of Zhou Jing. After all, he was handsome, and she hoped that he would pay attention to English. It was also because of that little episode that Gu Jia was impressed by Zhou Jing. Otherwise, she would not help him submit his resume. She was annoyed when her high school and college classmates asked her for help, let alone take the initiative to help.

"That went very smoothly. Which dormitory is Mr. Gu's?"

Zhou Jing asked when they arrived at the faculty and staff dormitory area.

"Building 305, Room ." Gu Jia asked, "Where are you?"

"I'm in Building 309, Room ."

"Do you usually stay at school or at home at night?"

"My family is from Qing County, and I rented a house on Baoning Road."

"It's quite convenient over there. Do you live alone or with your girlfriend?"

Zhou Jing answered truthfully, "I don't have a girlfriend, I live alone."

"Oh, sit down and rest for a while."

When they arrived at the dormitory, Gu Jia put her luggage in the corner first.

The suite is more luxurious than the single dormitory. Zhou Jing looked around and said, "Teacher Gu, please do the general cleaning. I will clean the glass and the top of the cabinet for you."

Zhou Jing didn't ask if he needed help, which made him seem more sincere.

The winds in the north are strong and the dust on the table is visible to the naked eye after the house has been vacant for more than two months.

"Okay, thank you for your help. Let's take a break and clean up."

Gu Jia touched the table with her fingers, leaving two clear fingerprints. It was indeed troublesome to do the cleaning by herself, and she was rather lazy. She had been planning to bring her mother here to exercise, because her blind date yesterday fell through and her mother had ignored her for the past two days, telling her not to go home if she couldn't find a partner. Today, it happened that her former student could help her, so she might as well use it.

"It's okay, not tiring. Which basin does Teacher Gu use to collect water?"

Zhou Jing got to work right away.

"The blue one on the bathroom floor."

Gu Jia opened the balcony door and all the windows to get some fresh air.

Zhou Jing asked again: "Is it convenient for me to go into the bathroom?"

"convenient."

This boy is quite polite, Gu Jia said to herself.

The main water valve was in the kitchen. Gu Jia went to the kitchen to open the valve, took two rags from the cupboard and put them in the basin.

"Teacher Gu, take a rest first. Leave the rough work to me. Just direct where there is cleaning to be done."

Zhou Jing saw that Gu Jia's outfit was not suitable for housework. She wore such exquisite clothes even though she knew that she had to do a thorough cleaning today. Her delicate skin and tender flesh showed that she was a spoiled child.

After saying that, Zhou Jing washed the rag and went to the balcony, starting from the balcony window.

"You seem to be quite good at housework. Do you do it often at home?"

Gu Jia was originally preparing to wash the rag and wipe the table, but after hearing what the boy said, she didn't want to wipe the table anymore.

"Uh! Because my parents are busy with work."

This question is difficult for Zhou Jing to answer. Answering that he doesn't do housework at home is tantamount to admitting that he is lazy. If he answers that he does, which man wants to admit that he is good at housework?

"Then you clean the windows first. I'll report to the administration building and buy some things at the store."

When the wind blew, the dust in the room became choking. Gu Jia simply went out for a walk. There was no privacy in the dormitory anyway, and she trusted the boy's character.

"???"

Zhou Jing was immediately filled with questions. How could he, as a teacher, not understand? Didn't he know whether he had to report today? And it was past twelve o'clock, during the break, so what was the point of reporting?

Teacher Gu, you really don’t treat me as an outsider!
