"Why don't you sleep on the bed too?"
Lin Chudong froze, not even daring to look up at her. He mumbled an "okay" and continued making the bed.
Lin Qiqi was a maiden, and wasn't Lin Chudong also a pure young man?
Being in the same room with her inevitably made him nervous.
After tidying up, Lin Qiqi reported back to her family to let them know she was safe, then took the lead in lying down on one side of the bed.
One side of the bed was against the wall, and Lin Qiqi was close to it. She was covered with a quilt, lying straight and proper like a small statue.
Lin Chudong finished washing up and got into bed. He was wearing loose pajamas. He hadn't seen when Lin Qiqi had changed hers. After turning off the lights, he just lay down on the bed.
The one-and-a-half-meter-wide bed was somehow turned into a battlefield, with a clear dividing line between them.
Moonlight streamed through the window, illuminating Lin Qiqi's quilt.
Lin Chudong turned his head, gazing at the girl's profile, which was more beautiful than the vast night sky.
Lin Chudong said, "This house is much better than before. We used to live in a bungalow and slept on a heated brick bed. We were so cold at night we didn't dare leave our blankets."
"Later, I earned money from performances and built this three-story dormitory for the orphanage. Teacher Yan said this room would always be reserved for me, and I could even use it as my bridal chamber when I got married."
Lin Qiqi's body stiffened slightly. Under the cover of night, her flushed cheeks weren't noticeable.
Otherwise, Lin Chudong would have been puzzled. He was talking about his life, so why was Lin Qiqi blushing?
After a moment of silence, Lin Qiqi spoke.
"Da Fei, how did you meet Li Dan?"
Lin Chudong was taken aback. Why did this girl suddenly blurt that out?
"Uh, we were classmates in college, but not in the same class."
"Oh, so who was chasing whom?"
"..."
Lin Chudong sighed. He had plenty of time today, so he might as well explain it to her.
"I never dated her. I went to sing just to create a scandal to get on the show. You misunderstood."
"That's not true."
"..."
After a long while, Lin Qiqi suddenly said in a low voice, "Da Fei, are you asleep?"
Lin Chudong was motionless, his breathing even.
After a few seconds, a small hand suddenly burrowed into his covers and quietly took hold of his hand.
Lin Qiqi's little hand was warm and comfortable to hold.
"Da Fei, do you like Liang Yin?"
Lin Qiqi's voice was as soft as a mosquito.
"Da Fei, who do you think is prettier, Li Dan or Liang Yin?"
"What about Liang Yin and Su Yulin? Who do you like better?"
"..."
"Da Fei, guess who I like?"
"Hehe, I won't tell you, stinky Da Fei."
I don't know how long it was, but Lin Qiqi's breathing became even. Her hand was still holding Lin Chudong's, but her sleeping posture, with the blanket, had become very unrestrained.
The moon had moved far across the sky. The moonlight in the room was decreasing, becoming darker and darker, until it was pitch black, and you couldn't see your fingers.
But Lin Chudong wasn't afraid, because his moon was held in his hand.
At this moment, his heart, sealed for twenty-six years, seemed to have jumped hard.
The next day, Lin Chudong woke up to find that Lin Qiqi had already woken up, changed her clothes, and finished washing up.
Lin Chudong looked regretful; he missed her pajama show.
"Qiqi, did you sleep well?"
Lin Qiqi stretched. "Very well! The air here is so good! Where are we going today?"
"To the school to take a look."
Lin Chudong had donated an elementary school and a middle school in Jiao City.
Since the Education Bureau was here for inspection today, he, the honorary principal, should show up.
The two of them finished washing up, ate breakfast at the orphanage, and drove straight to the elementary school.
At the school gate, Village Head Ma Jingmin was already waiting there.
"Principal Lin is here! Remember to call him Principal Lin later, understood?"
Several children with tanned skin stood at the entrance, welcoming their honorary principal.
Lin Chudong got out of the car, and the children immediately gave him a Young Pioneers salute.
"Hello, Principal Lin!"
Lin Chudong smiled, "Hello, everyone!"
A middle-aged man in his forties stepped forward and shook Lin Chudong's hand, "Principal Lin, it's been over half a year since we last met. How have you been lately?"
The man shaking hands was Li Jiacai, the Principal of Hope Primary School. He was a very simple and honest man. Lin Chudong was quite relieved to have him managing the school.
"I'm doing well. Principal Li, you've been working hard."
These people probably didn't pay much attention to the entertainment industry; otherwise, they would know that Da Fei had been in the news quite a bit recently.
Entering the school, Da Fei saw the students all studying, thriving, and the atmosphere was excellent.
Lin Chudong was very satisfied. "Principal Li manages well. What are the Education Bureau leaders doing here today?"
Li Jiacai said, "They're here to watch the kindergarten's open class."
"Our primary school is doing quite well, but the kindergarten has always had problems. There are just too few kindergarten teachers, and no one wants to come. There's only one Teacher Chen Meiyu, so the Education Bureau is quite concerned. They're specifically here to watch the open class this time."
Lin Chudong frowned slightly, listening to Principal Li's complaints.
Primary school teachers and middle school teachers all have established positions, and the jobs often rotate, with good benefits.
Some teachers, even if they see the conditions here are a bit worse, are willing to work for a few years. Later, they can transfer to Magic City. The work experience at Hope Primary School for these few years is all part of their credentials.
But kindergarten teachers don't have this待遇 (treatment). Even if the salary is high, no one wants to come to this impoverished backwater.
Lin Chudong didn't really understand this, "I'll think of a way later."
Lin Qiqi said nothing, feeling strange and curious about everything, her eyes wide as she looked around.
Li Jiacai said, "Come on, Principal Lin, let's go see the kindergarten."
Jiao City was a poor, remote area, and there were no kindergartens. Therefore, the kindergarten and the primary school were built together. Fortunately, there weren't many children in the village, so one class could accommodate them all.
At this moment, a young female teacher in the class was sitting and eating sunflower seeds. When she saw the leaders arrive, she immediately put them away and said to the children.
"Babies, shall I teach you a hand gesture dance?"
The children had been bored just now, but when they heard there was a game, they all became well-behaved.
"Okay!"
"Little kitty, meow, meow,
Catching mice, skill is high,
Jumping around is so lively, We should learn from it..."
Chen Meiyu recited the lyrics while leading the children to dance, and everyone was very happy.
Afterward, Chen Meiyu came out to greet the leaders.
Li Jiacai introduced her, and Chen Meiyu said.
"Since Principal Lin is here, let's decide on the matter I mentioned before today."
Lin Chudong was stunned, "What matter?"
Chen Meiyu crossed her arms and said,
"It's about the school uniforms. My cousin's family runs a garment factory. Our school's autumn uniforms haven't been ordered yet, and it's already October. Let's hurry up. Three hundred yuan per set isn't expensive, is it? Principal Li and the Village Head can't make a decision. Principal Lin, since you're back today, you make the call!"
Lin Chudong's expression changed slightly. "Three hundred yuan per set? That expensive?"
Chen Meiyu said, "It's not expensive. In the city, they're four or five hundred. My cousin's family makes good quality clothes, and he said that if we charge the students three hundred, he'll make them for two hundred. The remaining hundred yuan profit goes straight into the school's coffers."
"Of course, it can also go into the pockets of you leaders. It's just between us."
