Ma Qiaolan, who is usually carefree, suddenly beca astute: "Hahaha... Yes, it’s getting late. Hu Yue, Gu Jin, you both should go. You have classes tomorrow, so go on back. I’m fine here and don’t need anyone to stay with ."
Hu Yue slowly raised her head, a look of unease on her sweet face.
She dared not look at Tong Bingrong, and instead uneasily gazed at Gu Jin and Ma Qiaolan.
She spoke softly: "Then I’ll, I’ll head back first."
"Go on back, I’m alright." Ma Qiaolan waved her hand.
Gu Jin also nodded: "There’s soone here to watch over, so you don’t need to worry."
"Okay."
Hu Yue’s voice, as faint as a mosquito’s, sounded.
She lowered her head and walked towards Tong Bingrong, standing still by his side, waiting for his next instruction.
Looking at the girl standing by his side, Tong Bingrong’s fingers twitched slightly, wanting to lift them but dropping halfway.
He bid farewell to Gu Jin and Ma Qiaolan: "I’ll take Yueyue ho first, thank you for taking care of her during this ti."
"No, no..." Ma Qiaolan quickly waved her hands in fright.
Gu Jin followed along with his words: "You’re too polite, Teacher Tong, we are classmates, taking care of each other is only right."
Tong Bingrong nodded and finally extended his hand.
Under the gaze of Gu Jin and Ma Qiaolan, he took Hu Yue’s hand and left the hospital room.
Watching their departing backs, Ma Qiaolan leaned against the hospital bed, looking as if she had just survived a disaster.
Gu Jin’s eyes held a smile mixed with sothing profound, she gazed at Ma Qiaolan and laughed: "Teacher Tong wasn’t giving you an exam in class, why are you so scared?"
"You don’t know, even though Teacher Tong looks nice, he’s like an ice block, standing next to him makes you feel trendous pressure!"
Gu Jin heard this and smiled silently.
Ma Qiaolan asked again: "Hey, what do you think is the relationship between Teacher Tong and Hu Yue? I rember when Teacher Tong introduced himself in class, he said he’s a local.
Hu Yue isn’t from here, she ntioned her ho isn’t here either, but she seems especially close to Teacher Tong, not like relatives. If they were relatives, Hu Yue wouldn’t have any reason not to say so."
She looked puzzled, not rembering the previous incidents, and she was still hospitalized, completely diverted from the topic.
Moreover, her words were quite tactful, it was obvious to anyone that Teacher Tong and Hu Yue were not related by blood.
The smile at the corner of Gu Jin’s mouth slightly restrained.
Recalling Hu Yue’s behavior just now, if she hadn’t caught her lifting her head to sneak a grateful glance at Teacher Tong, along with a hint of adolescent thoughts she shouldn’t have, she would have thought Hu Yue was coerced and bullied.
And the way Teacher Tong looked at Hu Yue was more like he was dealing with a child who made him feel helpless.
There was definitely sothing going on between them, but what exactly, no one knew.
Gu Jin honestly shook her head, saying she didn’t know.
Ma Qiaolan didn’t feel disappointed, after all, they had just discovered how close Hu Yue and Teacher Tong were.
...
Leaving the hospital, Tong Bingrong held Hu Yue’s hand, arriving at the bicycle park.
He pushed the bike and said to Hu Yue: "Yueyue, get on."
"Okay."
Hu Yue obediently sat on the back seat, and Tong Bingrong rode the bike towards the school.
After a while, noticing the girl behind hadn’t moved, Tong Bingrong’s cold voice sounded.
"Hold onto my waist."
But, Hu Yue didn’t move.
After a while, she slowly extended her hand.
And embraced the waist of the man riding the bike ahead.
In the darkness, no one could see that her hands were trembling slightly.
