Chapter 191: Sneezing...Someone is Thinking of You
"Hello, Mr. Xiang."
"Hello, everyone."
Xiang Chen walked towards his office, continuously greeted by familiar students along the way. He tried to maintain a smile, but the discomfort in his body was something he couldn't control.
In his heart, Xiang Chen scolded the culprit again. He had told him there were classes today, but that person didn't seem to restrain himself, causing Xiang Chen to have trouble getting up this morning.
Slowly walking into the office, Xiang Chen breathed a sigh of relief. He sat down on the chair, trying to relax his body, leaning against the back of the chair. His sore waist finally found a little relief.
"Mr. Xiang, weren't you on leave? Why are you here again? Are you feeling better?" Another teacher entered the office. He had a good relationship with Xiang Chen. He had heard Mr. Tan mentioning Xiang Chen's leave this morning and had helped to cover one of Xiang Chen's classes.
"I'm...I'm fine, nothing serious," Xiang Chen forced a smile. "I heard that you helped cover my class this morning, Mr. Feng. Thank you so much."
"Oh, don't mention it. You've helped me cover my classes too," Mr. Feng said as he poured water into his cup and then offered the bottle to Xiang Chen. "Mr. Xiang, would you like some water? It's important to drink plenty of water when you have a cold. I can hear that your voice is a bit hoarse. Being a teacher can strain your voice, especially when you're sick..."
Xiang Chen blushed with embarrassment. He cleared his throat and, while covering his throat, struggled to speak, "N-No, thank you. I still have water in my cup..."
Afraid that Mr. Feng would offer to refill his cup, Xiang Chen quickly took out a thermos from his bag. Inside was a cup of... brown sugar water.
His throat was indeed uncomfortable. Last night, he had bitten his lip to keep quiet, mindful of Xiao Ping'an in the neighboring room. However, Xu Hengzhou seemed to have gone mad, taking advantage of his difficulty in holding back and bullying him even more.
Thinking about last night's events made Xiang Chen's face even redder. He quickly shook his head, feeling like he had been infected by something. It wasn't the time to think about that now.
He slowly sipped the brown sugar water, opening his lesson plans to review the content for the afternoon. Fortunately, he was accustomed to preparing in advance, otherwise, he would have been even busier now.
As class time approached, more people began to fill the office. Other teachers came in, all inquiring about Xiang Chen's health.
Xiang Chen's smile froze on his face as he accepted his colleagues' concern. In his mind, he imagined a little figure resembling Xu Hengzhou's face, being pounded on the ground by him.
Xiang Chen didn't have a class for the first period, but he had come to school after lunch. He wanted to review his lesson plans again. However, at home, he felt like he was being watched, which greatly affected his efficiency.
So, even though the chairs in the office were cold and hard, Xiang Chen chose to give up the softness of his bed. He was afraid that if he listened to Xu Hengzhou's words and leaned back, he would end up lying down and wouldn't be able to get up again.
