Until the class bell rang, Gu Jin and Feng Hui, standing at the stairwell, moved; the two walked towards the classroom very consciously.
As for Teacher Tong and Hu Yue, neither of them moved.
Tong Bingrong pressed his lips together and said, "Yueyue, you go to class first, don’t overthink."
"Okay." Hu Yue nodded.
She looked up at the man in front of her, her gaze full of longing and reluctance.
She bit her lip and turned to leave.
"Wait—"
The voice from behind successfully stopped Hu Yue in her tracks.
She didn’t turn around, waiting for the other person to speak.
However, what ca in return was a warmth that pressed to her back.
Tong Bingrong embraced her, giving her a gentle hug, his gentle voice whispering in her ear, "Don’t think about anything; I’ll take care of everything."
The tears that Hu Yue had stopped began to well up in her eyes again.
"Okay—" she replied in a low voice.
Tong Bingrong released his arms, "Go."
Hu Yue lifted her foot and walked forward, her back straighter than before.
Watching her go far away, the man behind her had a bit of worry between his brows.
He felt that his young wife was too prone to tears; from the first ti they t, she was crying.
Once the class bell stopped, he headed towards other classrooms.
...
In the next two days, almost all the teachers and students at the school knew that Teacher Tong had registered for marriage with a female student.
They also clearly understood the school’s decision: because of their relationship, they couldn’t be in the sa classroom.
There was a wave of regret among the crowd, but gone were the initial feelings of disdain.
At first, they thought Hu Yue was the third party; it turned out she was the legitimate wife whom Teacher Tong had rightfully and openly married.
Because of this incident, many people ca to the class to see who Hu Yue was.
Unfortunately, from that day on, Hu Yue had taken leave.
Where had Hu Yue gone?
She was in the dormitory, nursing injuries alongside the wounded Ma Qiaolan.
One healing external wounds, the other, internal wounds.
These two days were enough for Hu Yue to confess to her three roommates about how she married Teacher Tong.
She and Teacher Tong had an arranged marriage set from childhood, engaged for so many years.
When Teacher Tong was ten years old, when she was just babbling, the marriage was arranged.
Over the years, the two had never t.
Teacher Tong ntioned he had once seen her when she was still babbling, but unfortunately, Hu Yue had no mory of it.
Now that she reached the legal age, once her birthday passed, they would have the wedding ceremony.
Over so many years, the Tong Family continued to send money and so living necessities to her ho, and they gave many gifts during holidays and festivals.
Unfortunately, these things were never used for her since she was a child.
However, because of the money sent by the Tong Family each year, she was able to attend school.
She always assud that life would pass by peacefully as long as she could go to school, without caring about or expecting anything else, since she wasn’t the only child; she had two older brothers and one younger brother.
Her parents had always been a bit partial, she knew deep down and understood this partiality, knowing that other families in the village were the sa, so she never complained.
Until she got into Wanhai City First Middle School, needing a considerable amount of tuition, her family, to save money, tore up her admission notice.
Her parents didn’t let her go to school, telling her to stay ho and farm honestly.
She was unwilling, unwilling to see her education stagnate and be destroyed like this.
For so many years, she knew about the engagent, and knew the Tong Family sent lots of money and good things every year.
Unfortunately, those things were always for her two brothers and younger brother.
