C17 When He Returned to School He Met Bai He

The next morning, the alarm clock sounded. Zuo Yi got up from her bed. Just as she fell asleep, the alarm clock kept ringing.

After washing her face, brushing her teeth and brushing her makeup, Zuo Yi put on her coat and headed to the living room on the first floor.

Lu Shaoqian was sitting in the living room on the first floor, drinking coffee and reading a newspaper.

"I'm leaving." Zuo Yi greeted.

"No breakfast?" Lu Shaoqian asked.

For some reason, when Zuo Yi saw his face, she couldn't help but recall the embarrassing incident last night.

"No, I'm not hungry." She walked to the black limousine by the door.

It was only when the car started that her beating heart calmed down. She took a deep breath and pulled down the window. The wind blew in through the window and she felt alive.

The poplar trees on both sides of the street quickly retreated. Zuo Yi leaned her head against the bed, closed her eyes and quietly took some rest. He had not slept the whole night, only falling asleep at daybreak.

Right now, he was extremely tired, and he couldn't even open his eyes.

Soon, they arrived at the school gates. The black car stopped and it immediately attracted the attention of the students who passed by.

"Isn't this President Lu Shaoqian's personal car?" Some girls were discussing.

"Yeah, yeah."

"Too bad she's already married."

As the girls were discussing amongst themselves, Zuo Yi got out of the car and the girls' gazes immediately fell on her face.

"Look, that's CEO Lu's wife."

"I heard that girl studied art."

"I'm just a bit more handsome."

The sounds of discussions continued to reach Zuo Yi's ears. As she walked forward, she completely ignored the girls.

After passing by a quiet and secluded path, Zuo Yi finally felt able to stand up easily as she walked alone. As soon as the students on the road saw her, they started to discuss among themselves. She didn't like them. Therefore, he turned to the side of the small road. Although the path was a bit far away and not too quiet, no one would come to disturb him.

Zuo Yi's mood improved as she walked and breathed in the fresh air.

It had been a long time since he had such a relaxed mood. These days, he felt like he was going to die from busyness. Furthermore, his mood wasn't that good either.

When she entered the classroom, the way her classmates looked at her changed. Zuo Yi let the gazes of others run wild. She sat alone in front of the drawing board, casually drawing, waiting for class to start.

"Didn't she already marry the CEO of Lu's? Why are you here for class? "

"Right, the marriage knot was so sudden, could it be that she's pregnant?"

"There are a lot of people getting married. A lot of people got divorced."

The girl started chattering again. Zuo Yi was usually one of the quieter girls. She did not have much contact with her classmates and could not be considered to be familiar with them.

"Go go go, go. What nonsense are you guys spouting? Seeing Zuo Yi find Prince Charming, your eyes are all red. If you have the ability, go and find an overbearing CEO." The moment Lin Jia said that, the girls from before stopped talking.

Lin Jia was Zuo Yi's only good friend. However, unlike Zuo Yi, who had a quiet personality, Lin Jia was a very outgoing person.

"Zuo Yi, don't listen to their nonsense." Lin Jia ran to Zuo Yi's side with a smile.

Zuo Yi raised her head and looked at Lin Jia. She shook her head and said, "I'm fine. Let them talk."

Lin Jia understood Zuo Yi's personality, until she wasn't the kind of person those girls were talking about. But since Zuo Yi suddenly married Lu Shaoqian, she was very curious.

"Let's talk after class." Zuo Yi saw the drawing teacher walk in. It was a new semester and she had changed to a new drawing teacher.

"Wow, a beauty."

As soon as the drawing teacher walked into the classroom, the students started to cheer.

When Zuo Yi saw this female teacher, she also thought that she was very beautiful.

She was wearing a sky-blue coat, her long hair flowing down to her waist. He had fair skin, a perfect oval face, big eyes, dark eyes, and a straight nose.

The female teacher smiled, revealing a sweet smile.

"I'm Bai Hee, your drawing teacher."

"Hello, Teacher Bai, Teacher Bai is so beautiful!" There was another wave of jeering from below.

Bai Hee smiled and began her lecture.

"You must be Zuo Yi. Read the first paragraph in the textbook." Bai Hee said.

Zuo Yi froze for a moment. This new teacher actually knew her name.

Perhaps this was not surprising, because due to him marrying Lu Shaoqian, who knows how many people know him now.

Zuo Yi stood up, held the textbook in her hands and started reading seriously with a melodious voice.

When Zuo Yi finished reading, Bai Hee gestured for her to sit down.

Zuo Yi listened earnestly through the entire class. The female teacher called Bai Hee had a beautiful voice. She liked it.

Just as the bell for the end of class rang, Lin Jia impatiently came to Zuo Yi's side. She held her hand and said, "Come, let's go have a drink in the woods behind the school."

Zuo Yi packed up her drawing board and followed Lin Jia out of the classroom.

When they left the classroom, Bai He took a glance at Zuo Yi's figure. A trace of unnoticeable emotion flashed across his eyes.

Lin Jia and Zuo Yi first went to buy some milk tea before heading into the woods.

The place called Little Forest was actually a small park inside the school. Since it was surrounded by trees, Lin Jia called it Little Forest.

The small forest was very quiet. Very few people came here. Lin Jia and Zuo Yi used to chat here often, so no one came to disturb them.

"Hurry up and tell me, why did you suddenly get married? I saw the news of your marriage on TV the other day and was so shocked that I didn't even eat dinner." Lin Jia washed her milk tea and said. She was the kind of girl who was slightly fat, outgoing and lively.

"Then let's just treat it as losing weight. Isn't that great?" Zuo Yi said with a smile. She knew Lin Jia always wanted to lose weight, but she couldn't control her own mouth, so she never did.

"Don't talk about me losing weight." Lin Jia swallowed her milk tea and frowned. She had gained two pounds from weighing herself yesterday.

Now she had no hope of losing weight.

"Tell me about your marriage." Lin Jia said.

Zuo Yi took a deep breath. She tilted her head and thought for a moment, thinking of an explanation to the Lin Clan.

"I got married because of a very important reason, but I can't tell you right now." Zuo Yi thought about it and decided not to say it out loud. When the truth about her mother's death came out, it wouldn't be too late for her to tell Lin Jia.

"What? What kind of reason is that?" Lin Jia's expression showed that she had no other reason to do so, and she wanted to make Zuo Yi start over again.

"Jiajia, this is very important to me. I will tell you about it in the future."

Seeing the serious expression on Zuo Yi's face, Lin Jia knew that there must be something that was hard for her to explain, so she didn't force her.

"You have to keep your word. Don't forget to sue me in the future." Lin Jia sipped her milk tea.

Zuo Yi nodded.

"When did you meet that Lu Shaoqian? How come I didn't know about him?" Lin Jia was very curious about Zuo Yi's target. How did that cold-faced CEO who always appeared in the newspapers hook up with her? She expressed her curiosity. However, Zuo Yi was usually very cold to boys. In this regard, the two 'cold' people really matched each other quite well.

Zuo Yi calculated and said, "Half a month." She and Lu Shaoqian had only seen each other for fourteen days. It was too much to say that it had been half a month.

"Emma, isn't this the legendary Bright-Married Race?" Lin Jia's eyes became excited. In her heart, she wished that she could get married in a flash. She loved a flash marriage and thought that it was both handsome and cool.

But her mother didn't want her daughter to get married, so when there was a family reunion and Lin Jia said she was going to get married in the future, Mother Lin poured out a big bowl of chicken drumsticks in front of Lin Jia on the spot.

Lin Jia no longer dared to publicly say she was going to get married. Instead, he was expressing his desire on his blog.

Now that she heard that her good friend had gotten married in a flash, she was extremely envious.

"Yiyi, you're too handsome!" Lin Jia stretched out her thumb and praised.

Zuo Yi chuckled, thinking to herself that she knew the reason for her marriage was to find out the real cause of her mother's death. Would she still think that her marriage was handsome?

"Is he nice to you?" Lin Jia was prepared to fully understand Zuo Yi's marital status. Usually, Zuo Yi was the kind of person who was easily bullied, but she wasn't. Lin Jia thought that if Zuo Yi was bullied by her in-laws, she would bravely step forward.

Zuo Yi didn't know what to say, so she could only nod. How did that Lu Shaoqian treat her? He should be polite, right?

"Then from now on, do you have to live in the Lu Family?" Lin Jia continued to ask. In the past, she and Zuo Yi could be partners when they went home, but now, if Zuo Yi lived in Lu Family, she couldn't be his companion.

Zuo Yi nodded. Compared to Lu Family, she actually wanted to return to the school and stay there more. However, in order to maintain her marriage reputation, she had no choice but to stay in Lu Family Villa.

Zuo Yi saw the reluctance on Lin Jia's face, so she pulled her hand and said, "When I have time in the future, I'll come to your house to see you. Can I buy you some chicken legs to eat?" Lin Jia's favorite food was chicken leg. Zuo Yi knew her hobby.

Really? Lin Jia's eyes lit up as a smile appeared on her face once more.

"Let's go outside and play." Lin Jia stood up. After sitting in the woods for so long, she felt her legs going numb. Zuo Yi also stood up and the two of them walked out of the forest.

When he came out, he bumped into a new person. It was the new drawing teacher, Bai Hee.

"It's a beautiful teacher." Lin Jia shouted.

"Hello, teacher." Zuo Yi said.

The corner of Bai Hee's mouth lifted slightly as she smiled. When her eyes swept across Zuo Yi's face, the smile on her lips suddenly turned a little cold.

"Zuo Yi, you're the girl that just got married, right?" Bai Hee said.

Zuo Yi blushed. It seemed that everyone in the world knew about her marriage.

"Yes!" Zuo Yi nodded.

Bai Hee left without saying much as she returned to the teaching building to retrieve her sketching materials.

"Tsk tsk, Zuo Yi, you're a famous person now. Let me soak in your happiness and find a prince charming enough to marry you." As she spoke, Lin Jia rubbed herself against Zuo Yi's body.

Zuo Yi hugged her all the way and said, "Alright, I'll give you your good luck. I hope that you can find your Prince Charming soon."

Hearing Zuo Yi's words, Lin Jia instantly became happy, as if she would be able to find the person she liked in the next second.

The two of them walked out of the school as they played around. Zuo Yi had not been to the school for days, so she was happy when she saw the rows of shops outside.

She and Lin Jia were on their way to the island coffee for a steak set when her cell phone rang.

Zuo Yi looked at the name on the screen and picked up.

Lu Shaoqian's magnetic voice came over from the other end of the phone, "When are you coming back? I'll get the driver to pick you up."

Zuo Yi looked at the time and said, "I still have an hour."

Lu Shaoqian frowned after hearing that. It seemed that the little girl had gone crazy outside and didn't even know how to go home.

"Alright, I'll get the driver to pick you up in an hour."

After hanging up, Zuo Yi placed her phone on the table.

"Tsk tsk, that domineering CEO of yours is so strict with her management." Lin Jia lamented. Once married, they would have no freedom.

"Who was it that wanted to find Prince Charming just now?" Zuo Yi pursed her lips and smiled.

"It's not that I don't want to look for her, I just want to postpone it for a while. I'm so young and pretty, I have to be single for a while no matter what so that I can have fun getting married." Lin Jia picked up a piece of steak and put it in her mouth.

When Zuo Yi saw how she was eating, she was amused.

The two of them chatted as they ate their coffee on the island. Soon, an hour had passed. Zuo Yi looked at the time and could only bid farewell to Lin Jia.

Lin Jia saw her off in the car and waved goodbye. Zuo Nian looked at her friend and could only bid her farewell.

Actually, he still had a lot of things he wanted to say to Lin Jia, even if it would take another hour, but in order to maintain the Contractual Marriage, he had to compromise.

This kind of compromise made his heart very tired.

She leaned her head against the window and looked beautiful in the setting sun on the street outside.

In another two hours, it would be night.

Tonight, Zuo Yi thought, she could lock the door to her room when she went to sleep. Although it was just a lock, with that protection, he felt an inexplicable sense of security.

Safety was something a woman pursued all her life.

Zuo Yi smiled. Actually, there were many times where one could obtain a sense of security easily. For example, the current her, by relying on just a lock, would be able to obtain a sense of security within her Lu Family villa.

The black Audi quickly disappeared from the street and arrived in front of the Lu Family villa, stopping the car.
