Chapter 421: Chapter 421 Xia Ruolan_1

"Dengtu Zi, you shameless brute!" At this point, the temperamental Number Four erupted with a roar.

"Number Four, your words are uncalled for. Everyone loves beauty, and when I met a beautiful woman, I was instantly smitten. What’s wrong with that? How am I shameless?" Number Six retorted with a playful grin on his face.

Su Chengyu silently exited the group chat, remaining silent for the night.

Since Nine Peaks Mountain was under the control of the Dragon Soul Department and the seal had not yet been released, Su Chengyu wasn’t in a hurry to rush over to Yian City.

This was Su Chengyu’s first time visiting Huaizhou, so he decided to take his car and tour some of its famous scenic spots. As for the unpredictable changes in Jiangdong, they had nothing to do with him for the time being.

Let the storm ferment a little more, and when he returns to Jiangyang, the storm can be completely detonated.

After wandering around two scenic spots, Su Chengyu felt rather lonely and the beautiful sights lacked appeal. He thought of Su Xiaoxiao, thought of Lin Chuxue, thought of Xu Nanzhi and his heart was filled with sorrow and loneliness.

In the afternoon, he planned to visit the clinic of Jiang Qi. Although the old rogue had given him quite a few medicinal materials last time, Su Chengyu believed that the most precious ones were definitely held back by the cunning old rogue.

Since he was already in Huaizhou, he must plunder what he can from him, especially since this old rogue Jiang Qi was quite merciless in his practice of medicine.

His skills were excellent, and he had a great reputation in Jianghuai. The flow of people visiting his clinic was unending, but the registration fee and the cost of medicine at Jiang Qi’s clinic were exorbitant, and those who consulted there were merely his disciples.

Jiang Qi himself operated on a rule, he did not treat the poor. If one wished to consult him personally, the consultation fees were not something ordinary people could afford.

As Su Chengyu was waiting at a red light after leaving the scenic spot, his car was suddenly rear-ended with a loud bang.

He quickly got out of the car. The person who rear-ended him also got out - it was a mature woman who looked to be in her early thirties.

"I’m sorry, I was a bit distracted just now, it’s completely my fault."

"Teacher Xia?"

Seeing the somewhat panic-stricken, apologetic woman, Su Chengyu tentatively called out.

"You know me? Are you a parent of one of my students?" Xia Ruolan breathed a sigh of relief when she learned that he knew her.

Su Chengyu smiled lightly and said, "I am your student. Su Chengyu, do you remember me?"

At his words, Xia Ruolan pondered for a moment but couldn’t recall.

"I was in the first class you taught at Lin Jiang No. 2 Middle School. I was mute back then and couldn’t speak. You used to take me to your dormitory for extra lessons."

When Su Chengyu was in his senior year of high school, the original Chinese teacher had a car accident. Xia Ruolan, who had just graduated from the Jiangdong Teachers’ College and had been assigned to Lin Jiang No. 2 Middle School, took over as Su Chengyu’s Chinese teacher.

Su Chengyu clearly remembered that when Xia Ruolan first arrived at school, she was young and beautiful, and was known as the flower of the Lin Jiang No. 2 Middle School teachers, a goddess in the hearts of countless male students.

At that time, Xia Ruolan had just graduated and could easily mingle with the students. The students adored her, and they all really liked this young and beautiful teacher.

Su Chengyu knew then that many of the male students in the class were secretly in love with Xia Ruolan.

Upon his reminder, Xia Ruolan finally remembered and excitedly exclaimed, "Su Chengyu, I remember you now. You were a prodigy, always writing beautifully. What a pity you could not speak. And now, you’ve not only learned to speak but also grown into an even more handsome man."

Xia Ruolan had a special sentiment with her first batch of students, and had deep memories of them.

"Teacher Xia, you are as beautiful and graceful as ever, still possessing your elegant charm," Su Chengyu said.

"I’m old now, there’s no charm left. Are you living in Huaizhou?" asked Xia Ruolan.

"No, I’m here in Huaizhou for a visit. Teacher Xia, shall we talk somewhere else, to avoid blocking traffic?" Su Chengyu proposed.

"Alright! Let’s go to my place. It’s just near here," said Xia Ruolan.

Su Chengyu had vivid memories of Xia Ruolan. During his school years, despite his excellent academic performance, he was somewhat discriminated against by teachers and students because he was mute. Xia Ruolan, however, was extremely kind to him. Perhaps she admired his literary talent. She looked after him in life and study. In his heart, Su Chengyu regarded Xia Ruolan as a sister and respected her greatly.

Xia Ruolan only taught at Lin Jiang No. 2 Middle School for a year, and he was part of the only class of students she had. Later, she left Lin Jiang No. 2 Middle School. The rumor that Su Chengyu heard was that Xia Ruolan had seduced the principal in hopes of being named an excellent teacher.

The principal revealed this, causing Xia Ruolan’s reputation to plummet and her name to stink, and she disappeared from then on.

But Su Chengyu did not believe that Xia Ruolan was that kind of person. A few years later, the principal of Second Middle School was reported for using his position to take advantage of other female teachers, and he was fired by the Education Department.

Su Chengyu followed Xia Ruolan into her home. It was spacious, and the decor was rather luxurious. Having such a large house in downtown Huaizhou showed that Xia Ruolan’s financial strength wasn’t bad.

"Please, take a seat, I’ll make some tea for you."

Su Chengyu sat on the sofa and asked, "Teacher Xia, you’re married, aren’t you?"

"Yes, I’m married. My husband owns a company. Otherwise, with my salary, how could I afford this house? What about you? Are you married too?" Xia Ruolan replied.

"I’m divorced," said Su Chengyu.

"Oh? Sorry..." Xia Ruolan stammered, "But in today’s society, it’s quite normal to get married or divorced. With your handsome looks, I’m sure you’ll have no trouble finding a girlfriend."

"Hey... it’s okay, I’m not lacking women around me," Su Chengyu laughed.

Xia Ruolan chuckled, "Just by your looks, I know you must have bewitched so many innocent girls."

The teacher and student, meeting after ten years, had an easygoing conversation. Xia Ruolan brought up the scandal from the past, which was more or less what Su Chengyu assumed. The principal wanted to use his position to take advantage of Xia Ruolan, but she steadfastly rejected him and reported him.

As the principal had a strong backing, the report was intercepted and he reversed the blame onto Xia Ruolan, forcing her to leave Linjiang and move to Huaizhou.

Presently, she continued to be a teacher, imparting knowledge.

"Stay for dinner tonight and taste my cooking. It will be a good chance to catch up over a few drinks," Xia Ruolan suggested.

From the moment he saw her, Su Chengyu noticed a trace of depression and gloom in her eyes. It seemed like she was hiding something.

"Is that convenient?"

"What’s inconvenient about it? I’m usually alone at home anyway, my husband hardly ever comes back."

Su Chengyu wondered if she was trying to imply something. He quickly discarded the stray thought and asked, "What about your children? Don’t they come by?"

Xia Ruolan gave a bitter smile and said, "I don’t have children."

Xia Ruolan was five years older than Su Chengyu, so most women of her age would usually have children by then.
