-So I keep wishing even though I know it's pointless.

04/21

New routine.

Waking up, shower, eat, brush my teeth, get ready, walking to campus.

That's going to be my new routine, for now though.

Even while I'm teaching, I can't stop thinking of what Lin Tianyan told me yesterday.

Something kept repeating in my head.

Cigarette burns.

While the students form groups, my eyes kept focusing on Shang Si Min.

Shang Si Min. She is approaching Lin Tianyan.

"Lin Tianyan." I saw while making my way to her.

"Yes teacher?" Ahhh...her confused face is so cute, it makes me want to have her all to myself.

"I need you to do a different type of work, alone. I need you to write a story, atleast 3 pages." After she nods, I give her a shoulder pat.

As soon as class ends, Lin Tianyan pulls me to a table.

"Why do I have to do that? I mean...why only me?" She is very confused right now.

"Well, a certain someone was going to add you to her group, I knew what she was scheming."

After I say that, Lin Tianyan gets embarrassed, and smiles

"Well, i have to prepare some materials for other classes, see you around, love"

She is embarrassed, I see she couldn't help but smile at the petname, ahhh how much I wish I could hug her and kiss her right now, but I have to pull myself together, not yet, atleast.

As I'm walking in the hallway I hear a thud.

It came from a room that had a sign, it said 'CLOSED'

Huh...isn't what one of the rooms that is getting renovated?

While I get closer, I hear voices, they sound... Familiar. To not look noisy, I make myself look focused chatting in my phone.

"WhencanIgo to your place? We always meet up in hotels..." Said the female voice

"Sorry, there's a room under construction right now so I'm currently staying at a relative's house."

Well, that's definitely a lie.

"Ah, can't be helped then, wanna come over to my place sometime?" , With a warm tone.

That warm tone ... Thats Xue Liqiu...

While I recognize that voice, I hear muffling sounds. No way.

Having intimacy???

That's enough, I'll just go to the meet up with Bai Chunxin. But before that, I have to clear up my suspicion.

I walk up to the opposite wall, putting a hidden camera, it was small so no one could notice.

That male voice...it was...rough? It sounded a lot like someone...but I'm not sure.

Bai Chunxin said we should have lunch together often so I agreed since I didn't know anyone here.

Making my way there, I see Bai Chunxin waiting for me at the door.

"Feng Siyu! Right here!!!" She is pretty energetic today, something good must have happened today.

"Bai Chunxin, woah that energy, did something good happen?" I say smiling.

"Ah yes!!!, today is my anniversary, I have a big gift for my boyfriend, he LOVES music so much so I got him a signed disc of his favorite artist!! Well, it wasn't me who got it but my friend and she is handing it to me"

She looked so lively, if only me and her were together...

"That's amazing, he will like it a lot, also... I have a question, is Xue Liqiu seeing anyone right now?"

"Huh? Xue Liqiu? I don't think so, she never talks about her personal life so..."

That's weird...

"Anyways!!! Let's go to our reserved table"

She hooks her arm on me and leads me there.

Honestly....it was nice, having such interaction with someone I just met.

She spoke to me about the stuff she likes and how much work stresses her out. Well, I get it, she has to prepare a lot for the class since it's mathematics... She also asked me about what I like and my hobbies, she even tried to get me interested in baking but I'm already busy enough, I had to reject that... She said she understands because being a teacher takes a lot of time and makes you really busy. She didn't even react negatively... that's amusing.

It wont hurt to make a friend here, right?

As we part ways, I check the footage of the camera.

I was getting bored waiting to see who is coming out of the room...

Like 25 minutes go by and I see...Ruan Fujue and Xue Liqiu.

...his wife's name is Shen Liling and her hair is long wine red.

Xue Liqiu has black hair.

This is an affair.

I need to get that camera.

----

"Dad? Where's mom?"

"I don't know, probably in the bedroom or the bathroom."

"Okay...."

.....not in the bedroom.

...

Huh?

Mom...?

"Mom???"

---

Unfaithful husband...

So that's what he is hiding.

04/22

Making my way to the teacher's room, everyone looks worried.

"Did something happen?"

"Feng Siyu...Ruan Fujue had an accident last night, he is currently in the hospital..."

"Lu Dexin got called by Ruan Fujue in the morning, apparently he fell from some stairs, he still doesn't know if he fractured a bone or anything..." Said Yan Zhining.

I remember Yan Zhining and Lu Dexin.

Yan Zhining helped me find the bathrooms, he teaches art. Lu Deixin teaches... I barely remember, I think it was one of the philosophy courses?

"Ah, that must have been horrible, I hope he gets better."

That is so unfortunate.

As I leave the room, I bump into Lin Tianyan.

"Ah, sorry teacher..." she looks like she was crying.

"You can just call me Feng Siyu. Did something happen?" I say as I caress her face and tears.

"Shang Si Min..."

Oh.

Again.

Shang Si Min.

Guess it's my turn now huh.

"Its alright, things will get better. I promise my darling."

She keeps on crying, why is she suffering so much?? Why does this keeps happening to her?

I just need to get more closer to you, and I'll be the only one for you.
