The programmer and his woman

The next day, I came to school and met the counselor named Yingying again. Today, her hair had been dyed back to black, which made her look more natural and comfortable. She seemed to be in a much better mood and took the initiative to greet me.

"Teacher Wang, nice to see you again." She said with a smile.

"Yes, we may meet often in the future," I responded.

"Why do you say that?" she asked curiously.

"Oh, I will be giving classes here for a while starting today, and I may bother you often in the future!" I explained.

"Really? That's great!" she answered happily, then her face turned red and she lowered her head shyly.

Looking at her shy look, I thought this girl was quite cute.

With the experience of giving lectures several times before, I have a deeper understanding of how to guide students and how to control the rhythm of the class. For this course, I started preparing for it several days in advance, from writing lesson plans to designing classroom activities, and I strived for perfection in every detail. Therefore, when I stood on the podium and faced those students who were older than me, although the course content was easy for me, the psychological pressure brought by the age difference was still like an invisible mountain pressing on my shoulders.

I know clearly that these older students come to class with rich life experience and unique insights, and every question and every point of view they have may be a challenge to my teaching ability. Therefore, I always remind myself to stay focused and make the class content as interesting and practical as possible so that they can gain real benefits from it.

Finally, after finishing today's class, I packed up my lesson plan and prepared to leave work. Just as I was walking towards the elevator, I suddenly heard hurried footsteps from the opposite side. I looked up and saw Yingying running towards me in a panic, holding her coat in her hand. She obviously wanted to take this elevator to leave work, so I quickly pressed the door open button and waited for her to come up.

When Yingying ran over, I could clearly see the clothes on her chest rising and falling with her steps, like the rough sea. She thanked me while panting with a smile on her face.

When the elevator door opened again, the tense atmosphere was slightly relieved by the influx of a group of people. They rushed into the elevator and inadvertently squeezed Yingying and I together. At that moment, her chest accidentally touched my chest. I could clearly feel her rapid breathing, and I also found that my heartbeat was accelerating.

The scene that had just flashed through my mind was now happening in front of my eyes. I couldn't help but feel a little scared and blushed with embarrassment. Neither of us spoke, but silently endured this sudden intimacy.

Fortunately, the elevator quickly reached the first floor, and people walked out of the elevator one after another. Yingying and I followed the crowd out of the elevator. After we walked out of the elevator, Yingying, who usually didn't like to talk, took the initiative to speak this time: "Teacher Wang, which direction are you going home?"

"I'll go on the right, Yingying, how about you?" I asked Yingying which direction to go home.

"I'm also going to the right, so since we're going the same way, let's go together." Yingying replied with a smile.

"Okay, Yingying, how did you get here?" I asked curiously.

"I'll take the bus." Yingying said.

"Oh, wait for me then, I'll go get the bike," I told her, then turned and walked towards where my bike was parked.

After a while, I pushed my bicycle to Yingying and said, "Let's go. Where do you want to get on the bus?"

"It takes about two stops to get to the bus stop," said Yingying.

"Ah! It's so far, and my bike is a bit broken. If you don't mind, come on over and I'll carry you over." I suggested.

Yingying got on the back seat of the bicycle without saying anything. I pedaled lightly and the bicycle was moving steadily on the road. I was secretly surprised that although Yingying was plump, she felt as light as a swallow when she sat on the bicycle. The bicycle was not as heavy as I imagined. Just when I was immersed in this relaxed atmosphere, suddenly a sentence from the old man behind me broke the atmosphere and slapped me in the face: "Young man, young man, don't ride it, the tire is flat."

I turned my head in confusion and saw the old man pointing at my rear tire. Sure enough, the tire was flat. I smiled awkwardly, sent the old man away, and continued riding. Yingying behind me patted my back and said, "Teacher Wang, your bike is broken, I'd better get off."

I shook my head and said, "It's okay. Just sit down. We've been riding for such a long time. This short distance won't make a difference. I'll take you to the station." In fact, even though the tire had a flat tire, I didn't find the bike difficult to ride. It might be because I had worked out regularly before, or maybe it was because I was riding with a beautiful woman on my back, which made me feel full of strength.

Yingying seemed to be touched by my determination. She didn't ask to get off the car anymore. Instead, she gently hugged my waist and put her face on my back. I didn't know what this action meant, but I could feel her trust and dependence on me. At this moment, I felt that our relationship should have been one step closer.

When we arrived at the bus stop, we waited for the bus Yingying was going to take. At this time, the attentive Yingying noticed that I was not wearing gloves, so she said, "Teacher Wang, you are riding without gloves. It's so cold that your hands will be frozen. Wear mine." Then she took off her gloves and put them on me.

I quickly declined: "How can this be possible? If you put it on me, what will you wear?"

"I'm about to get on the bus. It's not cold there." Yingying said. Before I could react, she had already stuffed the gloves into my hands and got on the bus happily.

I picked up the gloves and looked at them. They were pink woolen gloves for women, soft and warm. I tried to put them on and found that they were very elastic and could be worn completely. After putting on the gloves, I felt different. My hands were no longer cold, and even my heart was warm. I looked at the direction where the bus was going away, and my heart was filled with gratitude and warmth.

The following days seemed to be shrouded in a tacit understanding. Every day after get off work, I would meet Yingying at a specific time and place. This was no longer a coincidence, but a habit that had quietly formed between us. From the fourth day, I would go directly to her consulting room after get off work and wait for her to go home together. This tacit understanding made our relationship closer, as if there was an unspoken tacit understanding flowing between us.

When I don't have classes, I always like to go to her consulting room to chat with her. Our topics range from work to life, from ideals to reality. She also often comes to the teacher's office to bring me food. Those snacks and fruits not only make me feel warm, but also add a bit of sweetness to our relationship.

My schoolmates seemed to have noticed the subtle relationship between us, and they often made fun of us. Every time I heard this, I felt a little shy, but also a little happy. I didn't know what Yingying was thinking, but I could feel her care and love for me.

However, my inner hesitation and uncertainty always existed. I always thought that dating a girl should be aimed at getting a marriage certificate, so I was very cautious about confessing and establishing a relationship. I also kept thinking whether we were really suitable for each other and whether we could face the challenges of the future together.

Yingying did not seem to ask for a confession, perhaps she was also hesitating, or perhaps she was waiting for a more appropriate time. Time passed slowly in hesitation and waiting, and in a blink of an eye, I had been working for more than two months.

In the past two months, I have also taught some courses, and my average monthly salary is about 4,000 yuan, which is quite satisfactory for me. With a stable job and a considerable income, it should be the best time for me to pursue love. However, I seem to be not ready yet and I can't make up my mind to confess to Yingying.

Teacher Qi suddenly came to me with great interest and said mysteriously, "Teacher Wang, I heard that you got your salary today? Are you itching to spend it?"

I smiled and responded, "Yes, yes, Mr. Qi, you are really well-informed."

Teacher Qi raised an eyebrow: "Then how are you going to spend this money? You can't just put it in your pocket, right?"

I touched my nose and said a little embarrassedly: "Hey, I want to save it for when I get married."

Teacher Qi rolled his eyes and said, "Look at how little you have achieved! Look at other teachers, they all hold laptops in class, how impressive!"

I nodded. "Yeah, I saw that too. It's really much more convenient for them to attend classes. Unlike me, I have to carry a USB drive back and forth every day."

Teacher Qi slapped his thigh and said, "Yes! Then you should buy one too!"

I scratched my head: "But... laptops are so expensive."

Teacher Qi smiled mysteriously: "What are you afraid of? I know someone who can get you a discount."

My eyes widened. “Really?”

Teacher Qi handed over a business card: "Of course! This is the address, go over now, I'll tell him, and I guarantee to give you the lowest price."

I took the business card and started to worry again: "But my salary for this month is not enough."

Teacher Qi waved his hand: "Don't we still have last month's salary?"

I was surprised and asked, "Ah, have you spent all the money you earned in the past two months?"

Teacher Qi patted my shoulder and said earnestly: "Teacher Wang, as the saying goes, 'sharpening the knife does not delay the chopping of wood', buy a laptop, and it will be much easier to teach in the future. Listen to me, it's right!"

I nodded and gritted my teeth: "Okay, then I'll go now!"

I went to the address on the business card given by Teacher Qi. This store is not far from the school and sells branded laptops. Although this brand is not very famous, I understand that small-brand laptops are often more cost-effective, which is a good choice for me.

With my previous repair experience, I also know a thing or two about hardware. Seeing that I was not an amateur and was introduced by an acquaintance, the boss gave me a favorable price. The laptop was originally priced at more than 10,000 yuan, but after some bargaining, the price was finally reduced to more than 7,000 yuan.

Although this price was still a considerable expense for me, I felt really bad about spending it, but thinking that I could buy a laptop with near-top performance at that time at this price, it was also an investment in myself. After all, with this computer, my efficiency in class and work would be greatly improved. Thinking of this, I felt much more comfortable.

I chose to buy a laptop with top configuration directly because I know that a high-performance computer is indispensable in gaming courses. Games are often the most power-consuming of computers, and ordinary configurations are difficult to cope with slightly larger games. With my long-term experience, I know that buying a computer must be done in one step, so I chose a top configuration with an independent graphics card and independent video memory.

When I paid the money and got this brand new laptop, I felt very satisfied. I thought the transaction was over, but I didn't expect the store to have prepared an unexpected surprise for me.

The sales lady smiled and said to me, "Sir, our company has a special lottery today. You can participate in the lottery if you buy a laptop. The first prize is a mobile phone, the second prize is a laptop memory stick, and the third prize is a USB flash drive. You may be very lucky!"

When I heard this, I was secretly delighted: "Oh, there is such a good thing? Of course I have to try my luck, what if I win the jackpot!"

Then, the sales lady and her colleagues brought a large box filled with colorful balls. I looked at the densely packed balls in the box and thought to myself, "This doesn't seem like a good chance, but let's give it a try."

I reached out my hand, put it into the round hole of the box and stirred it twice, then took out a ball at random and handed it to the sales lady. In fact, I didn't have much expectation in my heart, but I just thought it would be fun to participate.

However, to my surprise, the sales lady opened the ball and suddenly shouted in surprise: "Congratulations, sir! You won the first prize, a mobile phone!"

I couldn't believe my ears and asked quickly, "Really? Did I really win the first prize?"

The sales lady nodded excitedly and handed me the phone: "Yes, you are so lucky! This is our first first prize winner today!"

At this moment, I couldn't believe my ears. First prize? Did I win the jackpot? My mind was filled with big question marks. The salesperson quickly took the phone out of the box, put it in front of me, and started taking photos with me to celebrate. However, I still felt like it was all a dream, unbelievable.

It wasn’t until the phone was actually handed to me that I woke up from my dream. This was real! I really won the jackpot! The staff around me also began to murmur. They seemed to think that I was too lucky. The first order of the day was won by me.

One of the staff members smiled and said to me: "You are really a lucky star today. How about I draw one and try it?" Then she took a ball out of the box and said to herself: "I will try it too and see how lucky I am today."

However, when he kicked the ball, he was disappointed to see the words "Thank you for participating". He sighed helplessly and said, "Alas, it seems that you are still lucky."

I smiled and responded to him, but my heart was full of joy and gratitude. Today, I seemed to be blessed by the God of Luck. Not only did I buy the laptop I wanted, but I also won a big prize unexpectedly.
