Rebirth: Starting from a Trainee Teacher

Chapter 68 Although lonely
It was another exciting Friday. Liu Hanyu was getting ready to go home after work to find Zhou Jing. Zhou Jing was having a party with Chen Quan and another high school classmate Hui Yanlong. Hui Yanlong went to Yushi College to find Chen Quan in advance, and Zhou Jing went there after school.

Before his rebirth, Zhou Jing hadn't seen Hui Yanlong for a long time, and the gift was sent via mobile phone.

[Who is more important, me or your best friend? ]

Liu Hanyu was slightly disappointed. After not seeing him for a week, was she not looking forward to it at all?
Zhou Jing raised the corner of his mouth and replied calmly: [If you two fall into the river at the same time, I will definitely save you first. If you two come to play with me at the same time, I will meet them first.]

This is what a girl is like. She wants to occupy Zhou Jing’s time after get off work even though they are not boyfriend and girlfriend. Now that they are in a relationship, does Zhou Jing have to be on call at all times during work?

It is impossible for Zhou Jing to spoil any girl now and he insists on his independent personality.

[Tsk, what's fun to do with boys? ]

After reading the message, Liu Hanyu didn’t know whether to be angry or laugh. How could she answer like this?

Zhou Jing: [They can play billiards, games, and basketball. What can you girls do? ]

【Then you should live with boys for the rest of your life】

Liu Hanyu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. How could there be such a boy? Is there any boy who chats with girls like this?

But she couldn't help but think about what she could do. It seemed that she couldn't do anything except shopping.

【Let’s not talk about it for now】

As they were almost at Yulin College, Zhou Jing put away his phone.

Liu Hanyu was a little doubtful about her life. Was her position in Zhou Jing's heart not as high as that of other boys?
"Zhou Jing is so happy to be a teacher. Are there any pretty girls in the class?"

As soon as they met, Hui Yanlong spoke in a very frivolous manner.

"It's getting more and more obscene."

Zhou Jing is not that kind of guy. No matter how beautiful the student is, he will not be moved. It’s not like he hasn’t seen a woman in his lifetime.

"Being a teacher doesn't mislead students, does it?"

"Don't say that. Teacher Zhou is really good. Last week, he led his students to play basketball and beat our university team."

Chen Quan followed up with another blow.

"I believe this. I won't be surprised at all that Zhou Jing is a physical education teacher."

"Hahaha! A physical education teacher becomes a math teacher."

"Damn it, have you forgotten that I was once a math celebrity in school?"

The two of them successfully broke Zhou Jing's rules by talking back and forth, and he said the first swear word since he became a teacher.

Hui Yanlong seized the opportunity and asked, "Do you swear at students all the time?"

"I have received professional training before taking up the post. I generally don't swear unless I can't help it. After all, I'm not a saint."

Zhou Jing said seriously.

Chen Quan said: "Being a teacher means being able to speak eloquently and explain dirty words in a reasonable way."

"I'm here to say goodbye to you two and prepare to go support XJ."

Hui Yanlong stopped teasing and said seriously.

"XJ? Is this true?"

Chen Quan stopped joking.

Zhou Jing was not surprised, because Hui Yanlong really went to XJ in his previous life.

"Really, I've been selected. I'll go after I graduate next year."

"Okay, how's the pay?"

Chen Quan took the lead to a food stall and asked the waiter for a private room.

"The salary doesn't matter. I just want to contribute to the development of XJ."

Hui Yanlong's words are righteous.

"This political awareness definitely has a future. There is a person in our class who is helping Hotan County. Where is Brother Long?"

Chen Quan suddenly felt that everything was changing very quickly and that everyone would really go their separate ways after graduating from university.

"Also in Hotan District, is Zhou Jing a regular teacher or a contract teacher?"

"If nothing goes wrong with the internship, I'll be hired as a full-time employee."

"I envy you so much."

If Hui Yanlong could get a job in his hometown, why would he travel so far?

"You two are both teachers and public servants. What kind of job should I find?"

As he entered his senior year, Chen Quan became increasingly confused and had no choice but to work in the chemical factory.

Hui Yanlong said: "Just be a good person and we will serve you. When you have a child, just leave it to our teachers."

"It's too much trouble. Just leave your wife to me after you get married."

"Brother Long, listen to me, is this something a teacher would say?"

Chen Quan was not happy. "He should be fined three cups."

Hui Yanlong opened the beer and poured it for Zhou Jing first.

"No need to pour it, just blow out this bottle."

Chen Quan opened a bottle and placed it in front of Zhou Jing.

The most fearful thing at a dinner party is saying the wrong thing. Zhou Jing said something funny and got a bottle of wine before the dishes were served.

Zhou Jing couldn't blow the bottle, so he poured it into a cup and drank it one cup at a time.

"What are Chen Quan's plans? Are you planning to stick to this major?"

Hui Yanlong took out a pack of cigarettes, and Zhou Jing, who didn't smoke, took one and lit it.

"Let's see at the fall job fair and next year's job fair. Do you need to go back to school to write your thesis next year?"

Chen Quan's school is not good, so it would be good if he could find a better chemical factory.

"No, it doesn't matter where you write the paper. Do you want to write it at school?"

"It depends on the thesis topic. Mine requires experiments."

"Research or something?"

"Coal tar produced by pyrolysis of coal."

Chen Quan opened a photo on his phone and showed it to Zhou Jing and Hui Yanlong.

"Study on the tar yield of Huating coal by pyrolysis of pine needles, by adding pine needles and FeS catalyst to pyrolyze Huating coal, using the aluminum retort low-temperature dry distillation test method of coal and the moisture determination device for pyrolysis"

"Are pine needles the leaves of common coniferous pine trees?"

Hui Yanlong read the research topic of Chen Quan's graduation thesis and felt that it was more like a college thesis.

"Yes, we have a lot of them in our school. This is the first time I know that this thing can be used as a catalyst."

Chen Quan was also confused when he saw the topic.

"Science and engineering are still interesting. I regret choosing a liberal arts major. It's not interesting at all."

In order to completely get rid of mathematics, physics and chemistry, Hui Yanlong applied for a management major in college, but he regretted it so much since then. Science and engineering majors still have advantages in finding a job.

After three rounds of drinks, everyone started talking more. Compared to Zhou Jing who was more restrained, Chen Quan and Hui Yanlong revealed each other's past that they did not want to recall, while Zhou Jing did not offend anyone but got caught in the crossfire.

"I heard that the first-year class teacher didn't get married and had a child. Did Zhou Jing have an affair with her in high school?"

Hui Yanlong said in a mean way.

"Zhou Jing did have a good relationship with his homeroom teacher in his freshman year."

After hearing what Hui Yanlong said, Chen Quan also looked at him with suspicion.

"You can all imagine that."

Zhou Jing was speechless, he was not an irresponsible person, if it was really his turn, he would get the marriage certificate with Yang Wenwen next year.

"Is it real?"

"Don't say such things casually."

Zhou Jing asked the two to stop talking. If the rumor got to the ears of his high school classmates, they would be able to spread it clearly. How could he and Yang Wenwen continue to stay in the Experimental Middle School?

"What's going on with the class teacher?"

As Yang Wenwen's former students, Chen Quan and Hui Yanlong were very curious.

"My boyfriend died in a car accident."

Zhou Jing didn't want to talk about Yang Wenwen with others, let alone talk about Yang Wenwen's inside story.

"I see. The head teacher has a miserable life. It's a pity for such a beautiful and good woman."

Chen Quan and Hui Yanlong believed it to be true.

Zhou Jing did not correct him. It would be better for a man like that to die. Yang Wenwen waited for him for two years while he was studying for his master's degree, but he dumped Yang Wenwen, who was more than four months pregnant, as soon as he graduated. He could no longer be described as a scumbag, he was simply a scumbag.

The three of them ordered a case of beer and before they knew it, they were done. Zhou Jing hadn't drunk like this in a long time. He didn't know when in his previous life he realized that even three people couldn't get enough to drink together. Zhou Jing then realized that he really should get married.

After drinking, the three of them scrambled to pay the bill. Since Zhou Jing was at work, he must come.

Afterwards, the three of them went to play billiard for a while. Because they had to invite Gu Jia for lunch tomorrow, Zhou Jing didn't invite his best friends to stay at his place that night. There was an empty bed in Chen Quan's dormitory, so Hui Yanlong and Chen Quan went to stay in the dormitory.

After returning to his residence, Zhou Jing took a hot bath to wash off the smell of alcohol and wrote a novel for two hours.

In the dead of night, Zhou Jing felt the freedom and loneliness of being alone.

Although he felt lonely, Zhou Jing still had no thoughts or impulses about falling in love. He didn't know if this was normal for a reborn person.

Unable to sleep, Zhou Jing was thinking about what to treat Gu Jia to dinner tomorrow.
