Chapter 1596: For You, I Am Willing to Give Up a Bright Future

Fast Chinese.

She nodded solemnly.

"Litian, I am serious. I am only happiest when I am here. I am not happy at all in the city. Although that is my home, I feel like I will never belong there, while I seem to belong here. I was born to be here."

Litian was silent for a long while, then said, "I respect your decision, but are you not afraid that I will be snatched away by someone else?"

Lu Feifei had just stopped crying, but now she started again, saying between sobs, "I am, I am scared to death, I am terrified... sob sob sob..."

Litian: "So, you will not reconsider?"

"No, I will not reconsider..."

Lu Feifei was sobbing until she was out of breath, but her tone was firm: "I have already, already considered it for a long time. I feel like dying from the pain just thinking about losing you."

"But, but if these children lose me, they will also be very sad. Since it is going to be sad either way, it is better for me to be sad alone than for everyone to be sad, better, sob sob sob sob... but I am still so sad!"

She threw herself into her boyfriend's arms and told him, "I would rather lose you than trade the future of these lovely children for it. I choose them."

Litian held her in his arms and told her, "Feifei, you are the kindest girl in this world. You will not lose me, never!"

"Sob sob sob, I am still worried, my heart hurts so much..."

No one expected that Litian would request to discontinue his graduate studies and resign from his job as a teaching assistant to teach in a remote village!

The Principal was so angry he slammed the table at him: "Sheng Litian, are you crazy? Do you know that you traded your life for this job? How many people are eyeing it with envy? Others would break their heads trying to snatch it, and you are just giving it up so easily?"

Litian: "I am not crazy. This is the result of my careful consideration."

"Careful consideration my foot. I will give you one chance to say that again."

The Principal tore the application into pieces in a few swift motions and threw it into the trash can.

His anger had not yet subsided when Sheng Litian handed over a second application.

He even declared: "If you do not approve this, I still have a third, a fourth... If you never approve it, I will keep applying without stopping."

Principal:...

This guy was too stubborn, so in the end, the Principal had no choice but to approve it.

Phoenix Town.

Because of this flood, half of the original classrooms were destroyed.

Before the new school building was built, the students studied inside tents.

Lu Feifei was discharged from the hospital and returned to the original school to teach her original class as usual.

A lot of lessons were missed due to the flood, so they had to hurry to catch up.

She was in the middle of class when the Principal walked into the tent with a smile, leading someone, and introduced him to everyone: "This is our school's new Vice Principal. Everyone, please applaud to welcome him!"

Enthusiastic applause immediately erupted in the tent.

The Principal continued the introduction: "Although the Vice Principal is school leadership, he also teaches. From now on, your physical education, English, and mathematics will all be handled by the Vice Principal..."

The school was already short on teachers, and after the flood, several more resigned. Now everyone was holding multiple positions, and the new Vice Principal was the same!

The students applauded enthusiastically again, but only Lu Feifei's eyes were almost popping out; she was so shocked that she even forgot to clap.

It was the Principal who reminded her: "Teacher Lu, don't just stare at him, applaud!"

Only then did she snap out of it, her eyes reddening as she clapped hard.

After a simple welcome ceremony, the Vice Principal went to teach his class.

The first class he taught was physical education. His PE class was different from what other teachers taught; it was innovative and very interesting, and the students loved the PE class immensely.

The Vice Principal said that several children had very high athletic talent, and after training at the school for a period of time, he could recommend them to a sports school.

The students here were all rural children, and being able to go to a sports school meant leaving the countryside.

If they were to advance through normal channels, taking exams level by level, they would need very solid basic knowledge in academic subjects, which was exactly what they lacked!

"Really?"

"You aren't lying to us, are you?"

"Lying makes one a puppy."

Upon receiving a definitive answer, the children were all in a fervor. Many of them wanted to go to a sports school but were troubled by having no way in.

The Vice Principal told everyone with certainty: "Students who want to go to a sports school, just practice well according to what I say, and there will definitely be no problem."

He started teaching as soon as he took office, staying busy from morning until noon before resting.

The Principal said: "Little Sheng, today is your first day of work, and there should have been a welcome ceremony, but you have seen the situation at the school; things are chaotic, so there will be no welcome ceremony. Let me treat you to a meal; I have wronged you."

The Vice Principal smiled and said: "You don't need to be so polite. I would like to treat Teacher Lu to a meal at noon; you can treat me another day."

Seeing the Principal's puzzled expression, he explained: "Teacher Lu is my girlfriend. I met you when I came to the school to find her last time."

The Principal suddenly realized: "Oh, so that is how it is. I was wondering, how would a graduate student from a sports university and a teaching assistant be willing to run to our place to be a teacher? So it turns out we are the phoenix tree that attracted the golden phoenix!"

When Litian first came to the school to find Lu Feifei, he was covered in mud and water; although the Principal had seen him, he had not recognized him.

Of course, the Principal would not be a third wheel, so Lu Feifei and Litian met at noon.

Her fists rained down on his chest like raindrops as she complained: "Are you stupid? Are you stupid?"

"You have a perfectly good university teaching job and you don't keep it, coming to our poor mountain area to be a junior high teacher. Have you lost your mind? You didn't even discuss it with me."

Litian was playfully mischievous for once; he blinked and said, "If I discussed it with you, would you have let me come?"

"I would, of course I would. I'm not stupid, why wouldn't I?" She said, and then she actually started crying.

She felt aggrieved for her boyfriend, but was also moved.

Such a bright future, and he had actually given it up just for her. Was he stupid?

Any other guy would absolutely not do this. What great good deeds did she, Lu Feifei, do in her past life to get such a good boyfriend in this life?

And such a person, she had once treated like discarded shoes; she was truly blind in both eyes and heart.

She swore she would definitely live well and never leave him in this life.

If she were to miss out on a boy who treated her this well, she would never find another one like him in this lifetime!

"Hey, why are you crying?"

Litian scrambled to help her wipe away her tears.

She refused to admit it: "Who's crying? I didn't cry at all; the wind was too strong and got into my eyes."

She was crying and laughing at the same time, and by the time she realized someone was "peeping," the entire school's teachers and students had seen them.

The two of them went back to the same place to eat noodles, lamb offal noodles.

Litian ate three bowls in a row before he put down his chopsticks, feeling completely satisfied: "The taste is really good, I'm so happy."

A single bowl of lamb offal noodles was enough to make him look so happy.

Lu Feifei felt it was funny, but also felt a pang of heartache: "Litian, you were too impulsive. Have you thought about it? Coming here means a world of difference from your previous life; you were a teacher at a prestigious university, and now you've become a junior high school teacher in a poverty-stricken mountain area."
