Chapter 231 Men Never Grow Up

Zhou Jing returned to school at about 2:10 in the afternoon, less than 20 minutes before class, so he went straight to the office. No other teachers were in the office at this time, so Zhou Jing turned on his computer and waited for class to start.

"You came so early, didn't you take a lunch break?"

A few minutes later, Yang Wenwen came to the office and asked.

"Just got back from the store."

Zhou Jing was about to reach out his hand to Yang Wenwen, but a teacher from the office next door passed by and Zhou Jing put down his hand.

Yang Wenwen glanced back and lowered her voice and said, "It's so hot, take care of yourself."

“A good night’s rest.”

People were coming and going outside the office. Zhou Jing returned his gaze to the computer and opened the space to steal vegetables.

"You don't have classes this afternoon, so go to the dormitory and rest for a while after class." Yang Wenwen poured out the lemon slices in the water cup, rinsed the cup, filled it with water, soaked two or three jasmine flowers, looked at the boy and said, "Do you want it?"

"Give me a slice of lemon."

Zhou Jing nodded and said he had to write a novel in the afternoon.

Yang Wenwen took a slice of lemon and put it in the boy's water cup and said, "Do you have any beekeepers here who raise bees?"

She wanted to give her daughter honey, and she wanted it to be natural.

"Yes, yes. I'll try to contact him in the evening."

Sometimes people send pure honey, the kind that sticks to bees and is hard to get when you need it.

"No need to go out of your way to do it. Just forget it if you don't know anyone."

Yang Wenwen just said it casually.

Other teachers came to the office one after another, and Gu Jia also came.

After entering the office, Gu Jia glanced at the boy, then went to her desk, took out her cell phone and texted the boy: [What time will you be back?]

【Just came back a while ago】

Zhou Jing responded immediately.

Gu Jia: [How is your sleep at night recently?]

Zhou Jing: [Very good, I can fall asleep as soon as I lie down]

Gu Jia: [You don’t get enough sleep. I bought some tranquilizing and brain-boosting liquid and will send it to your dormitory in the second period.]

Zhou Jing: [Thank you, Master (hug)]

Yang Wenwen and Gu Jia are both very considerate, making Zhou Jing feel like he is in a spring breeze. I hope it won’t turn into a cold wind in the future.

Soon the bell for class started rang. Zhou Jing went to the classroom, checked around, and then returned to the dormitory to write his novel.

Gu Jia had a class in the first period. After class, she went back to the dormitory and got two boxes of tranquilizer and brain tonic solution she bought for Zhou Jing. She went to Zhou Jing's dormitory and met Yang Wenwen who was returning to the dormitory downstairs. Gu Jia greeted her and continued walking forward. After Yang Wenwen turned the corner of the building, Gu Jia turned around and walked towards the dormitory building where Zhou Jing was.

"When will Master be back?"

Zhou Jing poured Gu Jia a glass of water.

"I'll go to the office to correct my homework later. I'll watch it in the third period." Gu Jia opened a box of tranquilizing and brain-tonifying liquid and said, "Drink one bottle each morning and evening. Drink it on time. Drink it for one or two months in a row to see the effect."

"If you keep drinking it for two months, the hottest time of the year will be over."

Gu Jia added.

"Be sure to drink it on time."

Zhou Jing is very conscious about taking tonic medicines and is meticulous in taking care of his body.

Gu Jia hesitated for two seconds and said, "If your company can install an Internet cafe, you should be able to install the school's multimedia equipment, network upgrades, monitoring systems, etc., right?"

Gu Jia's father has worked in many departments in the city, including the Education Bureau, so it is not difficult for him to get some network installation projects or government projects.

"can."

These projects have little technical content.

"We'll talk about it later. Take a break and write less during this period." Gu Jia picked up the water cup and took a sip of water, then looked at the novel written by the boy in front of the computer.

Zhou Jing closed the window, put his arm around Gu Jia's slender waist and said, "I can't sleep, Master, comfort me."

"I can't even soothe a child, how can I soothe you? You're so grown up, and I still need to soothe you to sleep?"

Gu Jia pulled the boy's face and said.

"Haven't you heard the saying, men are the cause of death."

Zhou Jing said with a smile.

Gu Jia smiled and said, "I've only heard of men dying as young men."

"It means the same thing. It means that men never grow up."

Zhou Jing carried Gu Jia to the bed.

"Stop making trouble. Don't quit so soon or people will know about it and spread it everywhere. Take a break. I'm going to the office now."

The boy wanted to take off his shoes, so Gu Jia got up from the bed and pushed the boy down.

Zhou Jing did not try to keep her. He watched Gu Jia leave and then got up to continue writing his novel.

If you don’t want to stay up late, you have to work harder during the day.

Zhou Jing wrote nearly 20,000 words in three classes. He went to the playground for the fourth class. The first-year high school basketball game had reached the knockout stage. Last week, eight classes were selected from the group stage to enter the knockout stage, and today was the round of eight to four.

Class 1-2 of Senior High School advanced from the group stage and will face Class 10 of Senior High School in the quarterfinals today.

After the third period, the basketball players of the eight classes that entered the knockout stage took the time to warm up. During the knockout stage, students from all classes in the first year of high school could go to the playground to watch the game.

"If the homeroom teacher could play, our class would definitely be first."

"The rules of the competition should be changed to allow class teachers to participate and serve as team captains."

"What if the head teacher is a woman?"

"Women can play too. They can just play for a while and then be substituted in."

In the area where Grade 1 and 2 classes were located, the students were chatting happily.

Zhou Jing thinks this suggestion is good and can better enhance class cohesion. There is no fairness or unfairness. Most teachers are definitely not as good as students at playing basketball. There is no other teacher as young and capable as Zhou Jing in the whole school.

"The two guys from Class 10 are tall and strong. Do you think our class can win, Teacher Zhou?"

"We can definitely win. Teacher Zhou, please give me some guidance."

Li Bo, the small forward of the Grade 1-2 team, said carelessly.

"If the two big guys in Class 10 are the main players, they will be slower. We need to play at a fast pace. Don't hesitate to make fast breaks when counterattacking. If we fall into their rhythm, it will be difficult for our guards to play with the two big guys guarding the inside. That will really test the performance of the two forwards, Li Bo and He Zhibin."

Zhou Jing's advice to them had very limited effect. There was no tactics to speak of in this kind of student competition. Even if they were to use tactics, they couldn't run out and even if they did run out, they would most likely miss the shot. Not to mention the wide open space on the outside. The basketball is round, and even if they broke through to the basket it was very dependent on luck, so the game mainly relied on on-the-spot response.

"The head teacher of Class 2 knows a lot."

The students of Class 10 came over to eavesdrop on Class 2's tactics, and suddenly felt that there would be no harm if there was no comparison between the head teacher of Class 10 and the head teacher of Class 2. Their head teacher of Class 10 knew nothing about basketball and only knew how to play well.

As the referee blew the whistle, the game began and the players from each class came on the field.

Just as Zhou Jing expected, Class 1 and 2 played very passively against the tall and strong Class 10. They could not get into the inside and could not shoot from the outside. However, the hit rate of Class 10 was also unbearable to look at. Class 2's defense was more flexible and it was difficult to widen the score. The first goal was scored by either class two minutes into the game.

In the end, Class 1-2 lost by two points and was eliminated in the semi-finals. The players were very disappointed, with unwillingness in their eyes. Zhou Jing comforted them with a few words and ended the class's competition.

"The competition is quite fierce. I thought it was easy for you to lead the team to first place that year, but our class didn't make it into the top four in the last two basketball games in the first and second year of high school, and this year's class didn't make it either."

In the office, Yang Wenwen sighed.

"I worked very hard to bring honor to you at that time."

Looking back now, Zhou Jing was indeed very passionate in high school and was like the Flash in basketball games.

After class, Zhou Jing and Yang Wenwen went to the staff canteen to eat. In the summer, school ends late in the afternoon and the weather is hot, so Yang Wenwen eats more at school in the evening and only goes home to see her daughter after dinner.

Yang's mother took the little girl to play in the community square. At the community square, Zhou Jing and Yang Wenwen had a rare chance to take a break from their busy schedule and have a tryst in the corridor of the grove.
