Chapter 68 Let's Talk in a Different Place
"Teacher Zhou?"
"Teacher Zhou Xiaoli?"
"Didn't I hear you left Xinghua No. 1 High School? How come you're suddenly here...?"
Ye Kai was genuinely surprised when the other party introduced himself.
That night, Teacher Zhou suddenly rushed to the rooftop, and the white figure that leaped down left a deep impression on Ye Kai.
But from beginning to end, Ye Kai never had the chance to see Teacher Zhou, who was recklessly taking her own life.
Although some classmates said that Teacher Zhou is very beautiful and has a great temperament, he had only heard about it but had never seen her in person. Today, being suddenly confronted by Teacher Zhou Xiaoli in front of him was a very strong visual impact.
"I was away for a while."
"It wouldn't be appropriate to leave without thanking you in person for saving my life."
Teacher Zhou's voice is very pleasant, with the melodious sound of a nightingale described in a textbook. Just listening to her voice is refreshing and delightful. No wonder she can be a music teacher; her talent is truly outstanding.
"Maybe it's what they call fate."
Ye Kai did not become arrogant because of this; he responded humbly.
Who told him to be on the rooftop at the time?
Who let him see that white figure climbing over the railing?
Who made him realize that someone was going to commit suicide?
It's hard to live with one's conscience if one doesn't help someone in distress. Even though the chances are slim, Ye Kai has to reach out and give it his all.
Fortunately, Ms. Zhou Xiaoli survived, and Ye Kai grabbed her ankle at the last moment.
Otherwise, it would truly be a matter of life and death separated in an instant.
"How about we go for a walk together?"
"That store manager has deliberately looked at our store six times already."
Suddenly, Teacher Zhou extended an invitation to Ye Kaifa.
"Can."
Ye Kai turned his head and glanced at the bar area. Sure enough, he saw the store manager hurriedly avoiding his gaze, pretending to be inspecting the other staff members in the store. His guilty look was obvious.
Spying on your boss's privacy is not a good habit.
Although Ye Kai was a little dissatisfied, he didn't fire her. After all, this store manager was quite capable. She not only managed the flagship store's operations very well, but also trained many qualified employees for other core stores. She was a treasure store manager.
So the two of them stood up and walked out of the milk tea shop one after the other.
It was nearly dusk, and the sun was already setting in the west.
The last rays of sunlight shone on the clouds in half the sky, creating a magnificent sunset. The clouds rolled in the air, like a dynamic computer desktop background in Ye Kai's memory.
"Teacher Zhou, where shall we talk?"
Ye Kai looked at the crowd of people coming and going, but he didn't have any clue for a moment, so he asked Zhou Xiaoli.
In this county-level city with a population of less than 500,000, many of the people coming and going are acquaintances.
He, as a high school student, didn't have much of a presence, but with such an extremely beautiful and aloof teacher by his side, the situation was completely different.
If someone sees this and spreads gossip, who knows what version of the story will emerge?
"Just follow me."
Teacher Zhou walked ahead, her fitted suit skirt reaching just to her knees, outlining her slender and elegant leg lines.
The dress-like jacket had a Chanel-esque feel, clinging to her waist and back, swaying slightly with her steps. A small section of her fair nape was revealed beneath her shoulder-length short hair, and the pink high heels on her feet made a crisp sound, each step exuding determination and confidence.
It's truly incomprehensible how a woman like this could think of jumping off a building to commit suicide.
Ye Kai followed steadily behind, looking at Teacher Zhou's back, feeling somewhat confused, wondering what exactly went wrong that would lead to such an extreme situation.
But it must be said that just watching Teacher Zhou's back and the way she walks is a pleasing sight.
Wait, something's not right.
How did we end up inside a hotel?
By the time Ye Kai realized what was happening, he had already followed Teacher Zhou through the revolving door and entered the Swan Hotel, the most upscale hotel in Xinghua City, and was already standing in the hotel lobby.
"Teacher Zhou, what brings you here?"
Ye Kai's mouth felt dry, and he stammered out a question.
In that instant, many high-definition, uncensored images flashed through Ye Kai's mind, causing him to momentarily freeze.
Is Teacher Zhou planning to let him experience a story-driven game?
This is ridiculous.
"I'm back at the school this time to complete my resignation procedures."
"Because it's inconvenient to stay in the school dormitory, I'll just make do here for a while."
Teacher Zhou stopped and waited for Ye Kai to catch up before explaining to him in a low voice.
"This place is quite nice."
Upon hearing this, Ye Kai could only reply with this one sentence.
Swan Hotel is undoubtedly the most upscale hotel in Xinghua City. However, hotels in Xinghua City are quite densely packed, with both high-end and low-end hotels crammed together, making the competition extremely fierce. Swan Hotel's room rate is not too high on weekdays, less than 200 yuan per night, and it also offers free breakfast. The environment is also good, making it relatively cost-effective.
High school teachers' salaries are actually not high, only about two thousand yuan a month.
However, judging from Teacher Zhou's attire, it is clear that it far exceeds her salary level, so it is not surprising that she chooses to live in such a place.
"call--"
Ye Kai followed Teacher Zhou into the elevator, and only breathed a sigh of relief after the elevator doors closed.
Perhaps due to psychological factors, Ye Kai was under a lot of pressure as he walked from the hotel entrance through the lobby to the elevator.
He always felt that the receptionists in the lobby were staring at them, probably because they were very curious about the nature of their relationship.
That's not right!
Why am I so nervous?!
Ye Kai suddenly realized that he was doing nothing wrong and hadn't come to the hotel to have sex, so why did he feel like he was acting suspiciously? There was absolutely no need for that.
Thinking of this, Ye Kai straightened his back again.
The metal walls inside the elevator were like a mirror, clearly reflecting the image of Teacher Zhou standing next to him.
When Ye Kai looked at Teacher Zhou across from him, he found that she was still silent, her gaze seemingly lost in an abyss, her cold and beautiful expression unchanged.
This is a wounded woman!
"bite--"
Just as Ye Kai was lost in thought, the elevator doors opened and stopped on the eighth floor.
Teacher Zhou led Ye Kai around two corners and stopped in front of room 8816. He took out the room card from his Chanel bag and swiped it to open the door.
No card is needed to draw power; the appliances in the room turn on automatically, and the air conditioner starts working.
"Come in, don't just stand there in the doorway."
Teacher Zhou tossed her small bag onto the luggage rack, then casually took off her coat and hung it on the hanger.
"oh."
Ye Kai responded and then walked in.
After closing the door, Ye Kai smelled a scent exactly like the perfume that Teacher Zhou was wearing, which permeated the entire room.
That's so extravagant!
Teacher Zhou is clearly using perfume as an air freshener!
A bathroom with transparent glass, a 2.2-meter by 2.2-meter double bed, a business desk, a wall-mounted large-screen LCD TV, a mini bar, a refrigerator, a safe, and a familiar chaise lounge sofa.
Ye Kai's gaze swept across the room, and the familiar feeling of the scene once again took over his mind.
That's too much torture!
