Rebirth: Starting from a Trainee Teacher

Chapter 49: The charming queen

"I can't eat anymore. If Teacher Gu doesn't want to eat it, I'll ask you to pack it up."

Zhou Jing and Gu Jia finished eating the meat, leaving some baby cabbage, wide noodles, and the two dishes they ordered later.

There's half a bottle of orange juice left.

"If you don't want to eat, pack it up!"

Gu Jia thought that this boy knew how to live. Although he was still young, he was not like many other men who would pack up leftovers for the sake of worthless so-called face. This kind of simplicity without being humble or overbearing was not something that could be faked.

"Please pack these dishes."

Zhou Jing waved to the waiter and said.

"OK, wait."

The waiter went to find two food bags to put the dishes in.

Zhou Jing naturally did not waste the remaining half bottle of orange juice and carried it in his hand when he left.

When they got to the first floor, Gu Jia went to the front desk to check out, and Zhou Jing went to wait outside first.

When she got in the car, Gu Jia looked at the time. It was almost eight o'clock, and it was too late to watch a movie, so she started the car and took the boy home first.

Under the night sky, the small town on the Great Wall is filled with flashing neon lights and bustling traffic. The evening breeze in mid-September brings the coolness of early autumn.

“Do you like the slow pace of life in a small city?”

The car stopped at a red light at the intersection and Gu Jia glanced at the boy and said.

"I like it. I envy this kind of life after staying in a big city for a long time."

If career development is not a consideration, Zhou Jing prefers this kind of small city life. However, one shortcoming of a small city is that the nightlife is too monotonous, and there are no good discotheques when one wants to go clubbing occasionally.

“I liked big cities during college, and I wanted to come back after graduation.”

The main reason why Gu Jia chose to come back to work was that she was the only child in the family and it was inconvenient to live too far away from home.

"Me too."

"We've been waiting anticipating change coming our way, You're my baby through the bad lights to the greater days. Do you like listening to foreign language songs?"

Gu Jia hummed a few lines along with the music in the car.

“Although I don’t understand it, I like it. Is the name of this song “Blue Sky”?”

Music is magical. He likes to play songs on repeat even though he clearly doesn't understand them, including Jay Chou's songs. Except for a few songs that are sung a lot in KTV, Zhou Jing has listened to the other songs for many years and still has no idea what they are.

“You’ve heard this song.”

Gu Jia was a little surprised because this song was not a very popular English song among students.

"I often listened to English radio stations in college to practice my listening skills."

Zhou Jing went to great lengths to pass the CET-4.

I got 421 in the first exam, 415 in the second exam, and 457 in the third exam. I was the only one in the class who passed the exam three times.

“What’s so difficult about English?”

Gu Jia shook her head and said it was hard to understand.

"It may have something to do with talent. The high school biology textbook says that the human brain is composed of nerve centers with different functions. One of them is the language nerve center, which controls language function."

Zhou Jing gave Gu Jia some popular science explanation.

"Okay, you bring the orange juice."

When they arrived at the residential area where Zhou Jing lived, Gu Jia pulled over and slowly parked the car.

"Teacher Gu, would you like to come up and sit down?"

"convenient?"

Gu Jiating wanted to see what the environment was like for the boy living alone. Since the boy dared to invite her, it meant that the house would at least not be too bad.

"convenient."

Zhou Jing is a single guy so there is no inconvenience. The house was cleaned last Sunday and it is very tidy.

"Let's go then!"

Gu Jia turned off the car, took out the key, opened the back door and took out her bag and half a bottle of orange juice.

In that case, Zhou Jing took the orange juice and carried it.

"This place is just right, not too far from the school, and also close to the college."

"This road is uneven, Teacher Gu, please be careful with your steps."

Zhou Jing reminded as they entered the community gate.

It didn't matter that Gu Jia didn't wear high heels today. "Teacher Gu, please come in."

The community was not big, and it didn't take long for Zhou Jing to get home. He opened the door.

After Gu Jia entered the room, she walked around and looked around. "It's cleaner and tidier than the house where girls live."

As a girl, Gu Jia was shocked. Living in a house owned by a boy made her feel inferior.

"How can a boy take care of a girl if he can't even take care of himself? Is what Teacher Gu said right?"

Although Zhou Jing likes cleanliness, he doesn't like others saying that he likes cleanliness more than girls, as it damages his masculinity.

"No problem, I wish all men were like you."

The boy's words touched Gu Jia's soul and deepest heart. If she had met a boy like him earlier, she would have married him long ago and would not have asked for any dowry.

I was born at the wrong time, Gu Jia lamented in his heart.

"Teacher Gu, drink some water."

Zhou Jing found a glass cup to rinse it and poured a cup of hot water from the stainless steel thermos.

"Put it aside for now. What kind of girls do you like? I'll see if I know anyone suitable."

Gu Jia looked around the room. The bedroom door was open. She took a peek at the door and saw that everything was tidy except the bed and quilt which were not folded.

Gu Jia said this, but to be honest, she was reluctant to introduce such a high-quality boy to others.

"I don't know either. Let's wait and see after we graduate from college!"

As they were alone with a man and a woman, Zhou Jing didn't joke around to avoid creating an awkward atmosphere.

"It's better to be young. Do you cook normally?"

Gu Jia came to the kitchen, where everything for cooking was quite complete.

There are rice cookers, woks, frying pans, and regular steamers.

Oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and various condiments were neatly placed on the table.

“Do it on the weekend.”

“What dishes can you cook?”

Gu Jia became more and more curious about boys. He was a man who could handle both housework and housework, and was the ideal partner for girls.

"Simple dishes like shredded potatoes, tomato and eggs, and stir-fried pork with chili peppers."

Zhou Jing answered as modestly as possible.

"Awesome."

Gu Jia can't even recognize all the seasonings. She is the kind of person who doesn't know the difference between the five grains and is lazy.

After looking around the room, Gu Jia went to the living room, sat on the sofa, picked up the water glass and took a sip.

Zhou Jing moved a stool and sat two meters away from Gu Jia. If he got too close, he was afraid that the fragrance from Gu Jia's body would draw him away. A mature lady like Gu Jia and a charming young woman like Yang Wenwen were much more attractive than young girls.

When Zhou Jing is with younger girls, he would at most flirt with them in moderation, such as Liu Hanyu and his ex-girlfriend Chen Jiaqian.

When Chen Jiaqian was a freshman in college, she said that she didn't want that before marriage, or at least before engagement, so Zhou Jing didn't force her. It didn't even matter when they went out to play in the same house and slept in the same bed during the holidays. They were in love for a whole year, and the most they did when they broke up was just kissing, so Zhou Jing was relaxed after the breakup, and they didn't owe each other anything.

At this time, Gu Jia was leaning on the sofa with her legs crossed, replying to QQ messages on her mobile phone. Even though she was wearing only an ordinary pair of blue tight jeans, her long legs were still very charming to boys.

Her long wavy hair was draped over one shoulder, and her eyes were fixed on the screen of her mobile phone. She had no idea what happy things she was chatting about with someone, and there was a smile on her charming face.

A single man and a single woman are in the same room late at night, a charming lady and a hot-blooded boy. The quieter the atmosphere, the more ambiguous it becomes, which can easily make people's hormones rise involuntarily.

Zhou Jing felt that his soul could be hooked out by Gu Jia at any time. In order to stay awake, Zhou Jing borrowed his cell phone to charge and went out to get some fresh air.

After sitting for more than ten minutes, Gu Jia realized that the atmosphere in the room was a bit subtle. He didn't want to stay any longer. He picked up the water cup, took a sip, and stood up to say goodbye.

Zhou Jing didn't try to persuade her to stay and went out to see Gu Jia off to the car.

"Teacher Gu comes here often."

"Okay, let's go! Call me if you need anything."

Gu Jia rolled down the window and waved.

"Can I contact Teacher Gu if I have nothing to do?"

Zhou Jing said jokingly.

"No."
