They All Say I've Met a Ghost

Today's class time had been slightly delayed, so I didn't take a break in the middle and lectured until two o'clock. The students were very well-behaved. None of them asked to go to the toilet. They listened through the whole lecture.

After recommending the books, I announced the end of class, so that the students could leave and get some rest.

There was something strange here. Clearly we had a school bus, but the driver never picked up the students. He only took me. I didn't know why.

So I asked Mu Huaitong, who was sitting closest to me in the front row. "Student Mu, how do you get to school every day? Aren’t you scared of being out so late?"

If I had a car, I would definitely have added the sentence, Would you like me to drive you home?

"I just fly..." Mu Huaitong paused and chuckled. "I drive myself."

Ning Tiance laughed at that.

Mu Huaitong at once became ferocious and gave Ning Tiance an unpleasant look.

I only then remembered that these two were enemies. The first time I’d met Mu Huaitong, she had pretended to be a ghost to frighten me, stuck out a long red tongue and wrapped it around my neck and got it yanked out by me. Watching this scene, because of his superstitions, Xiao Ning had taken this nice girl for a ghost and tried to stab her with his wooden sword, and he’d also... also torn up my clothes…

I quickly stood between the two of them to avoid another fight. Since that time Xiao Ning had gotten off the train in the middle of the night and come back, he had softened a great deal. He didn't raise a hand against Mu Huaitong but instead turned his head to one side, closing his eyes and not looking at her.

Mu Huaitong was really beautiful, especially with her black hair in a braid. The long braid made her look like a love interest in a school story. Such a good-looking person, and Ning Tiance actually wasn't even interested in looking at her. Didn’t that mean Xiao Ning's orientation was...

Hehehe. I had a good feeling.

"Teacher Shen doesn't need to worry about the school bus," said Mu Huaitong. "We don't need to make do with it."

Was she suggesting that my students were wealthy?

Then it was no wonder that Principal Zhang could arrange her classes so casually and pay me such a good salary, and could even pay for Tan Xiaoming's psychological treatment. It was all because we had rich students at our school!

At last I could relax and not worry so much about Principal Zhang's financial situation.

Today I’d used the projector in the classroom to teach, so after class I had to retrieve my computer. My old laptop was very slow to shut down. The little chrysanthemum just spun around and around without shutting down. By the time I'd put it away, Xiao Ning and I were the only ones left in the classroom. Even my roommate Teacher Liu hadn't waited for me.

"Doesn't that feel unpleasant?" Ning Tiance reached out and touched my sticky hair.

"Of course it does.” The sugar in the coke had made me very uncomfortable. ”But as soon as I started lecturing I couldn't feel it anymore. I'd forgotten about it until you reminded me.”

"You teach very well," Ning Tiance said. "I even took notes. And I'm going to buy The Wisdom of Life."

"Really!" I was very happy.

My course was aimed at students with mental disorders. I had brought Xiao Ning here out of selfish motives. It was a real surprise that he had been listening. It would be great if I could get a Celestial Master to believe in materialism.
