If you hadn't come, how old would you make me

Chapter 14

"Teacher, it's done."

A chubby white hand waved in front of Wen Ran, Wen Ran came back to her senses, looked at the big eyes of the little boy in front of her, feeling a little embarrassed.Busily put down the teacup in his hand, took the English paper in the boy's hand to read.

Wen Ran found a part-time job as a tutor not far from B University.In fact, many students of University B are working as tutors nearby. The main reason is that University B has a good reputation and parents are willing to use it.Wen Ran likes the free time of this job, and she tutors an elementary school student.

Looking at the child's immature English handwriting, Wen Ran couldn't help but smile: "Good job."

The child let out a breath, and happily threw away the pen: "Now Disney is hopeful."

"What?" She looked at the child suspiciously.

The child pouted helplessly: "My mother said that if I fail the final English exam, I will not be taken to Hong Kong."

Wen Ran laughed, it turned out that adults these days have learned the carrot and stick policy.There are rewards for doing well in the exam, and "rewards" for not doing well in the exam.

After going to school for two hours, the child's mother smiled when Wen Ran went out: "Thanks to you, Teacher Xiao Wen."

Wen Ran smiled politely, before he could say anything, he heard a crisp male voice from upstairs: "Teacher Wen?"

She looked over in surprise, and it turned out to be Fan Yingze.

Fan Yingze held the book in one hand and looked at her with surprise: "Teacher, are you back?"

Wen Ran couldn't react a little, and pointed to the textbook in his hand: "You, you too?"

Fan Yingze smiled shyly: "I also teach as a tutor."

After a brief conversation, Wen Ran found out.It turned out that Fan Yingze's family was not well-off. He participated in the work-study program on campus and worked part-time outside the school. After entering university, he never returned home, and all worked outside to earn tuition fees.Compared with him, Wen Ran couldn't help but feel ashamed.

He opened his mouth, showing his white teeth: "Teacher, you don't know. Back then, the notice was sent to our house with drums and gongs. My dad was so happy that he dug out a catty of good wine from the ground that night. The two of us drank it." Get drunk." He said with a chuckle, "Actually neither of us knows how to drink."

She couldn't help smiling slightly: "Is it that kind of wine, Zhuangyuanhong?"

Fan Yingze rubbed the back of his head and smiled a little embarrassedly: "My dad didn't think about it that much, it's just ordinary home-brewed wine." As he spoke, he seemed to think of something, and hurriedly said, "By the way, teacher, it's actually the first time I I see you are not in the office."

"Where is that?"

"It's in our school library. The school arranged for us to work and study in the library. I happened to be on duty that day. You were sitting at a table not far away at that time."

Almost at the same time, Wen Ran recalled that scene. I remember, why don’t I remember, she was rejected by Ye Yizhen because of the first draft of the questionnaire, and she had to spend her spare time in the library to catch up on the questionnaire. Her sad and indignant appearance was probably also seen by this student. arrive.

"Teacher, are you different from what I saw at the beginning?"

"Oh." Of course it's different, she was outraged by Professor Ye's suppression at that time, and she is usually very calm.

Fan Yingze didn't notice her thoughts, and continued: "At that time, I thought you were a freshman, but I didn't expect you to be a freshman."

Wen Ran sighed quietly: "Yeah, your teacher is already 21, and he's going to be three soon."

Fan Yingze chuckled. In fact, what he wanted to say was that at that time, the first thing he saw was Wen Ran's teeth and claws, and he thought she should be a girl full of vitality and vigor.When I saw it later, I realized I was wrong.She'll laugh, but not necessarily be genuinely happy.

When they returned to the dormitory, Lin Sheng and Liu Feifei were laying out mats and practicing yoga. Each of them had a pen in their mouths, and they were having a great time doing it with a stack of questionnaires.Wen Ran expressed admiration for the difficult movements of the two of them.

He leaned over to look: "What are you doing?"

"Isn't this teaching evaluation? It's really annoying. It's done every year." Liu Feifei raised her head while talking, "I said, Teacher Xiao Wen, you are taking the two classes of International Trade and Economics, so you have to evaluate it too." Said He laughed at the end, it was very evil.

Wen Ran glanced at her, then walked around her to the bathroom on the balcony.I only heard Lin Sheng say unhurriedly: "Students nowadays are not easy to teach. You try your best to preach to them and teach them. If they are dissatisfied with you, they can stab you in the questionnaire." What's more, maybe you are still human fleshing out your eight generations of ancestors online."

Wen Ran paused while removing her makeup, her eyes widened, "Who would be so perverted?" Lin Sheng also joined the ranks of administrative instructors recently. Originally, she was cold on the outside and hot on the inside, so it was inevitable that some students would run into trouble with her, " Have you been fleshed out?"

Lin Sheng smiled lazily, and Liu Feifei answered, "She still uses human flesh? It's Mrs. Ye, Wen Ran, you're not here these days, and the BBS has gone crazy—"

Wen Ran finished washing as quickly as possible, turned on the computer, and entered the school BBS.Sure enough, in the HOT post that was pinned to the top, there was a familiar name - "The All-round Secret of Ye Yizhen, the Charming Teacher of Big B".Wen Ran couldn't help laughing when he read the headline. These days, headlines are everywhere, and I don't know what the ID of the post can reveal.

Liu Feifei said: "This person seems to know everything, but speaking of it, Teacher Ye's background is quite strong. You know General Ye Zan, right?"

"General Ye Zan, I seem to have some impressions." She remembered that there were many photos hanging outside the corridor on the second floor of Wen's house, some of which were taken by her uncle in the army, and many of them had the name Ye Zan marked on them, "Why? "

"The person who posted the post said that Professor Ye's father is Ye Zan, and Ye Zan is a general. Tsk tsk tsk, Mr. Ye is still a queen."

After the gate?She was a little stunned.There was only one high-definition photo of him on the entire page, Wen Ran instinctively saw it somewhere, thought about it for a while, and finally remembered it.It's the T-big internal magazine.From the photo, he was wearing a black suit, with a white shirt collar showing just a little bit in the photo.It's still the same side face that you never get tired of seeing, it seems to be smiling slightly.

What kind of secret does such a person have?Subconsciously, she tugged the mouse quickly.

"Professor Ye was a teacher at the School of Management of University T, and then taught at the School of Management of University B. So far, many students of the School of Management have taken his classes. Professor Ye's class style is calm and interesting, and has won many praises from teachers and students. Not only that, During his teaching period, Professor Ye has been serving as a consultant for a well-known investment bank, and I believe that Professor Ye is definitely one of the upstarts in University B."

This bit of revelation is really not enough to fit between the teeth, Wen Ran pursed her mouth and continued to look down.

Someone downstairs replied: Dear students of the School of Management, although Mrs. Ye looks gentle, refined and amiable.But I still think he is an unfathomable person.Am I alone?
Downstairs: +1
Loulou downstairs: +10086
Wen Ran silently added another +1, and continued to look down, revealing the secret ID appeared again.

"Everyone upstairs, please allow me to add another +1. I also think that Mr. Ye is unfathomable, and it is true. Professor Ye's mother is actually a mistress. General Ye Zan had not yet divorced his first wife. She already has a son with this mistress, and this son, don't doubt it, is Teacher Ye."

After this content was posted, there was a long silence in the post.Until a person with the ID "Is this the truth" asked weakly: "How do you know the unofficial history of these VIP figures so well?"

Revealing the ID is not modest: "Hey hey hey, actually these are not secrets anymore, it's just that everyone doesn't tell them. I just happen to know someone whose family is in the military."

Immediately, some people expressed their admiration for revealing the ID.Wen Ran looked down a few more replies, and his tone was fairly calm, but when the hundredth floor was almost full, a reply suddenly popped up.

"Little San is disgusting, Xiao San's family is disgusting!"

As soon as this post was posted, there was a moment of silence.But not long after, it became active again. Many posts agreed with this point of view. What's more, a big discussion on morality and the feasibility of stallions was launched. Wen Ran was frightened and closed the webpage in a hurry.

Liu Feifei patted her on the shoulder: "It's inevitable that there will be bad comments on the Internet, so don't worry about it."

She nodded silently, gripping the phone tightly.

Lights are turned off at [-] o'clock in the evening at University B, which is the rule for both undergraduate dormitories and graduate dormitories.The entire dormitory area is dark at eleven o'clock, which is called "dark eleven o'clock" by many students.

In the darkness, Wen Ran slipped out wearing a coat.Despite the heat in the hallway, she shivered with cold.In the distance, there are only a few sporadic lights in the teachers' residential area.Looking over, the warm glow made her feel a little relaxed.

These days, the courtyard is busy with teacher assessments to provide a basis for the evaluation of teacher titles in the near future. Many teachers are very busy.When she passed the teacher's residential area today, she saw Ye Yizhen's car parked there quietly, presumably he lived in the school.So, is he asleep?It's already this late.

Looking at the phone, she hesitated.After a long time, she gritted her teeth and made up her mind.Just dial one and check, if you don't answer after three rings, hang up.What she didn't expect was that the other side picked up after two rings. Before she could think about what to say, there was a faint voice from the other side: "Wen Ran?"

She was stunned, hearing a slight cough from the other end, and asked, "Teacher, are you sick again?"

Ye Yizhen couldn't laugh or cry at this word: "Well, it doesn't get in the way, it's an old problem."

If I remember correctly, that's what he said last time.Wen Ran hesitated for a moment, and heard the other end ask: "You're back, how is your mother?"

"Well, my mother is all right now. She asked me to thank you."

The other end gave a soft oh, and then fell into silence again.Wen Ran listened to the light and long breathing sound from the receiver, and after a long time, he heard him say: "It's so late, go to sleep."

Xu was afraid that he would hang up the phone, so Wen Ran hurriedly blurted out, "I have insomnia." The other end was slightly startled, and she realized her impulsiveness, bit her lip, and said, "Then, good night, teacher."

"Wen Ran." Unexpectedly, Ye Yizhen stopped her, and she could almost imagine him smiling on the other end, because every time he called her name that way.

"Ok?"

The other end let out a low laugh: "If you can't sleep, how about going downstairs for a walk?"

Going for a walk so late?
Before Wen Ran could figure out the answer, she was already standing on the playground, watching Ye Yizhen walking towards her from a distance.The temperature was sub-zero, and he was only wearing a thin casual jacket. When he approached, he asked her if she was cold.

Wen Ran hid in the thick clothes and scarf and shook her head.

Because University B is located in the suburbs, the view of the sky is always better than that of the urban area.Wen Ran looked up at the sky, and after watching for a while, she couldn't help feeling amused, as if she had done something absurd.And the sound of steady footsteps following her constantly reminded her that someone was with her.

She shrank her neck: "There seem to be very few stars today."

He grunted and said, "Like stars?"

Wen Ran nodded: "I heard people say that on a night with stars, the next day will be sunny. Well, I heard that Tibet is a famous place for stargazing."

"Oh, that is indeed a good place." Ye Yizhen nodded.

"Teacher, have you ever been there?" Wen Ran looked at him longingly.

"I have been. When I was young, I liked to walk around." Recalling the time at that time, he smiled slightly, "The first trip was to Northern Europe, Norway, Finland and Sweden. When I was in Norway, I met a photographer. He is a very amazing person, he can spend two weeks or more to record the beautiful aurora and star sea in Norway with his lens, which is many times more beautiful than this.”

Aurora, that is probably the most beautiful scene in the world, it is too beautiful to imagine.

"When my father was young, he also loved to travel in the mountains and rivers, but because he studied archaeology, the places he went to were special. At that time, I was still young and I didn't know much about it. I just remembered that my mother once said that he was still Going through the ancient tomb." Although it doesn't seem like much now, Wen Ran smiled sweetly, "However, Dad will always be an omnipotent god in my heart."

After speaking, he met a pair of black eyes with a smile, which seemed to be radiant under the dim street lamp.She suddenly felt that this moment was extremely familiar, but this feeling was fleeting, and it disappeared without a trace when she came to grab it again.

"Oh?" He paused meaningfully, "Your father is also amazing."

Suddenly feeling very cold, Wen Ran took a breath, and said vaguely: "My mother is also fine, but..." As if pondering over the words, she hesitated for a while, and then said: "It's just that I don't feel it often. .”

He suddenly laughed when he heard this sentence.He could see her restraint and uneasiness in front of her mother. Although her words were for him, they were more for convincing himself.

"Miss mom?"

Wen Ran groaned: "A little bit."

"Good boy," he said, "Your mother must be very strict with you."

Huh?Wen Ran looked at Ye Yizhen in surprise, only to see that he smiled lightly, bent down, and his beautiful eyes met hers: "Because when you mentioned your mother just now, you would frown unconsciously."

She couldn't believe it: "How can it be so obvious?" After saying this, she immediately regretted it. Doesn't this mean that she didn't ask herself.

He smiled narrowly: "It's not obvious. But I can't hide it from your Yelaoshi's eyes."

Is this person in a better mood?Still teasing her?Wen Ran thought angrily, and almost at the same time, she thought of the most memorable sentence said by the breaking ID.He said that Mr. Ye also has a Ph.D. in Psychology, which may be the reason why others always find him unfathomable, but he is easier to see at a glance.Suddenly, she wanted to know him very much.

She asked curiously: "Teacher, I heard they said that you graduated from a prestigious school in North America. Is it hard to study in a school full of talents?"

"Study is hard work." Ye Yizhen said, "Fortunately, my purpose is not the same as theirs, so I can do whatever I want."

"Huh? Then you studied such a difficult subject, didn't you want to make more money when you work in the future?" She regretted a little after she said that. She was too vulgar to judge others by her own standards.

Ye Yizhen didn't care, and just smiled slightly: "Whether money is important or not varies from person to person. Wouldn't it be better if what you learn while studying can help you make money in your future life?"

"Then you are losing money as a teacher?"

The salary of a teacher is not high, and he has to work hard to earn extra money. It's hard for him to have such a smart mind.She was immediately happy, but accidentally slipped and almost fell.The reason why she was almost there was because a hand supported her in time.

"That's different." His soft voice rang in his ears, "I'm not that noble, but if money is too important, life will be too heavy. Many people regard the pursuit of economics as their goal, but in fact it is putting the cart before the horse."

He smiled lightly, and his tone was calm and calm: "I now use it as a tool, which can not only make a living but also educate others, and help others find a way to gain value. Why not do it."

She froze.Maybe it was the night that bewitched me, or maybe it was people, she sighed: "Ms. Ye, you are also a magical person."

He paused slightly, and then followed unhurriedly: "Wen Ran."

"Huh?" She raised her eyes to look at him, and saw that he had gentle eyebrows, and straightened her hat with his hand. This action was so natural that she didn't even have the time to be surprised, and she heard him say the next sentence.

"No matter how amazing it is, it's still human." He smiled slightly, his whole face shining brightly, "What's more, there are many important things in life."

For example, love.For example, family.He suddenly felt that he had never been so eager for these.
