Chapter 1412 - Finally Meeting
Chapter 1412: Finally Meeting
Cen Xi’s heart jumped and she rose from her chair. Clasping her hands together nervously, she craned her neck and looked towards the door.
But at the same time, she did not dare to go to the door. She was afraid that the person she saw would not be who she was looking for, but she could not help feeling expectant.
She could not hear what the Masked Teacher said to the principal. She only heard the sound of footsteps in the corridor, then, the man whom she had been waiting for nearly a day appeared.
He was very tall. Standing at the door, he was almost blocking all the light from outside. He had a mask on his face with all his facial features hidden under it, and she could not see him clearly.
He was wearing an ordinary black shirt and pants. He was quite thin and wore gloves on his hands that were holding the umbrella.
It could be said that he was armed to the teeth.
The two pairs of eyes met.
Cen Xi almost recognized at a glance that he was the person she was looking for.
Although she could not see his face clearly, and that he had lost weight and was wrapped up tightly, she could recognize that he was Qiao Yanze with that one glance.
Cen Xi’s eyes turned red suddenly. She lowered her eyes then looked up at the man at the door.
Hot tears fell uncontrollably down from her eyes. There was a pain in her heart like it was being squeezed tightly by someone.
Sniffing, she walked towards him.
When she was a few steps away from him, he spoke with a hoarse voice, “Who are you? Is there anything you need from me?”
Cen Xi’s body froze.
The wildly beating heart in her chest sunk down rapidly. Her hands that were hanging by the sides of her body clenched into fists.
But she tried to adjust her mood and smiled at him. “Don’t you know me?”
The man replied curtly, “No.”
He was wearing a mask and was wrapped up tightly. He must not want to show his worst side in front of her, so he said that he did not know her! Cen Xi knew that she could not force him at this time.
Because he was suffering more than anyone else in his heart.
She nodded at him. “Okay, maybe I’ve got the wrong person.”
Da Zuo came back soon after. He had purchased the learning supplies the students needed according to Cen Xi’s request.
The principal was very grateful. It was already dark and the principal was worried that something would happen to Cen Xi and Da Zuo if they left in the dark, so he let them stay in the school for the night.
Cen Xi did not refuse.
“But there is only one dorm room. Mr Da Zuo, you can share with another male teacher in school!”
Da Zuo was about to nod when he heard Cen Xi said with a smile, “Da Zuo is my boyfriend. I can share a room with him!”
The principal looked at Cen Xi, and then at Da Zuo. Cen Xi was beautiful and Da Zuo was handsome. They seemed quite compatible when standing together.
The principal nodded. “Ah, so the two of you are a couple. You’re both a perfect match!”
Da Zuo looked at Cen Xi. Cen Xi motioned to Da Zuo not to speak with her gaze. Da Zuo scratched his head, not quite understanding what Cen Xi meant.
The principal took Cen Xi and Da Zuo to the dormitory. There was only a 1.5 meter-wide bed in the dormitory and when two people slept together, they were bound to be intimately close together.
No one noticed that underneath the table in the office, the hands of the masked man were clenched slightly.
…
After the principal left, Da Zuo closed the door and looked at Cen Xi confusedly. “Miss Cen, why did you lie to the principal? We’re not…” Crap, if Young Master found out, wouldn’t he break his legs?
Cen Xi went to the window and looked outside. Seeing no one, she said, “I saw that Masked Teacher. He’s your Young Master, but he pretended not to know us.”
“Is it really Young Master?” Da Zuo pulled open the door, wanting to go out to meet the masked teacher.
But Cen Xi pulled Da Zuo back.
“Even if you go now, he won’t acknowledge that he knows you.”
Da Zuo seemed to understand Cen Xi’s intention. “So, you and me…”
Cen Xi nodded and raised her hand to pat Da Zuo’s shoulders. “Cooperate with me.”
Da Zuo touched the back of his neck sheepishly. “I’m afraid Young Master will kill me.”
“Do you want him to follow us back to the Capital?”
“Yes.”
“If you want it, then listen to me.”
“…Okay.”
…
Cen Xi and Da Zuo had not eaten dinner. The principal wanted to make something for them, but Cen Xi refused. She went to the kitchen and cooked a plate of fried rice and brought it to the teacher’s office instead.
In the office, all the other teachers had gone home. Only the Mask Teacher was inside reading.
Cen Xi pulled Da Zuo over to sit at one of the desks. The two talked while they ate, and they did not look at the Masked Teacher at all.
As they ate, a grain of rice was stuck to the corner of Cen Xi’s mouth. Reaching over, Da Zuo brushed it away gently. When Cen Xi looked at Da Zuo, her eyes seemed to sparkle and her lips curved into a smile.
It seemed like the two of them were very harmonious and sweet.
“Da Zuo, when did you start to like me?”
Da Zuo felt his scalp turn numb when he heard Cen Xi’s question. Was Miss Cen trying to get him killed?!
From the corner of his eye, he threw a quick glance at the masked man, who was sitting by the side reading. Seeing that he had no reaction, Da Zuo mustered up his courage and said, “To be honest, I have had feelings for you for a long time, but you are my Young Master’s woman so I did not dare to have any improper thoughts. I only dared to have thoughts of being with you after Young Master left.”
Cen Xi’s smile deepened. “Then you must treat me well in the future.” Her voice was coquettish and soft, making one’s bones feel numb after hearing it.
Da Zuo hummed and looked down to eat his meal.
…
When they came out of the office, Da Zuo looked back several times. Seeing that the man in the office did not come out, he wondered. “Miss Cen, do you think Young Master has really forgotten us?”
“Don’t worry.”
…
When he was the only one left in the office, the masked man retracted his gaze from the book in his hand. He sat in silence for a long time, and only got up late in the night.
He went back to the dormitory. When he went past one of the dormitory rooms, he saw that the door to it was not closed fully, leaving just a slight crack.
The coy voice of the woman floated out from inside. “Be gentler. It hurts.”
Then, the man’s shy voice sounded. “This is the first time I’m doing this. I don’t have any experience.”
When the masked man heard the conversation between the two, the hands by his sides slowly clenched into fists again.
The woman’s voice sounded again. “It’s okay. You’ll get your experience from me and you’ll know next time.”
The man hummed. “Endure it for a while more, it will come out soon.”
As soon as the man’s voice fell, the door of the room was suddenly kicked open with a loud bang. The man and woman in the room looked at the man standing at the door, who was glowering at them with a thunderous expression.
At the same time, the masked man also saw the situation inside. The man and woman’s clothes were not in disarray and they were sitting properly at the side of the bed. The man was holding a fine needle in his hand and was picking out a splinter that was stuck in the woman’s fingertip. There was nothing ambiguous at all.
It was then that the masked man realized he had fallen into their trap.
