Chapter 885: Chapter 854 Gathering, Encounter

"Yes," He Tiantian smiled, "it is very close, we’ve already arrived. Let’s see, which restaurant shall we eat at?"

Teacher Liu thought for a moment and said, "Let’s go for Hunan cuisine!"

"Mm-hmm, we’ve eaten at all the other places, we just need to try this Hunan restaurant," Teacher Xiao Chen added, the reason they hadn’t gone before was also that it seemed a bit expensive.

"Alright, then we’ll go to the Hunan restaurant," He Tiantian agreed, looking at both sides of the road, she found the Hunan restaurant at the end of the street.

He Tiantian parked the car, letting others get off first, she found a place that was easy to pull out of to park.

At the entrance of the restaurant, the others were waiting for He Tiantian.

After entering, the other teachers wanted to eat in the main hall, but He Tiantian directly asked for a private room.

That way, it was more convenient for everyone to talk.

Following the waiter’s lead, everyone went up to the second floor, to the Peony Hall.

The waiter brought the menu, and He Tiantian smiled, "Everyone, order the dishes. We don’t have much time for lunch, so let’s be quick."

"Since Teacher He is treating us, we won’t hold back," Teacher Liu said with a smile, being the first to order the dishes, choosing farmer’s stir-fried pork and home-style tofu, "You look too."

The others also each chose a dish, making it five dishes in total.

He Tiantian thought it was a bit too few, so she added steamed cured meats, spicy lamb tripe, and fragrant stir-fried eggplant, eight dishes in all, which should be enough.

While waiting for the dishes, Teacher Xiao Chen poured water for everyone.

Teacher Liu, being a middle-aged woman, was most curious about others’ marital status and asked, "Teacher He, you’re so young, you must not be married yet?"

They really couldn’t tell from He Tiantian’s appearance.

"Thank you, Teacher Liu, for the compliment, but I’m not young anymore, already twenty-seven. I got married in ’76 and had a child in ’77," He Tiantian replied. She had invited everyone to lunch today to get to know each other better and avoid some unnecessary misunderstandings.

For instance, Teacher Liu wouldn’t be able to resist setting her up for such an embarrassingly mistaken match...

"Ah?" Teacher Liu was surprised, "You look so pretty, I can’t tell you’re twenty-seven. Already married, and I don’t know which family is so lucky to have such a blessed fortune, marrying such a good daughter-in-law. What does your spouse do?"

"He does some material research," He Tiantian said with a smile, "In our office, I guess only Teacher Xiao Chen and Teacher Da Chen aren’t married, right?"

"Yes, but Teacher Da Chen is already engaged and going to get married next month," Teacher Liu said with a smile, "I was the one who introduced them! As for Xiao Chen, that girl has high standards, she doesn’t like anyone I introduce..."

Teacher Xiao Chen hurriedly poured a cup of tea for Teacher Liu and said, "You’ve worked hard, Teacher Liu, my fate just hasn’t arrived yet!"

"Alright, I’ll believe you for now," Teacher Liu said, "I originally thought Teacher He wasn’t married, I was looking forward to matchmaking."

"Haha, Teacher Liu, you’re wasting your talents teaching, you should open a marriage agency, I guarantee business would boom," Teacher Zhou laughed heartily, only the older Teacher Zhou dared to joke with Teacher Liu in the office.

"That’s a deal, when I retire and have nothing else to do, I’ll open one," Teacher Liu laughed, causing everyone to laugh out loud.

At that moment, the dishes arrived, and everyone talked while eating.

Oh my, the flavors were indeed good, there was a reason for the higher prices.

Since everyone had classes in the afternoon, even the men who could drink didn’t have any alcohol.

After the meal, everyone went outside to wait for He Tiantian.

He Tiantian went to pay the bill; eight dishes for five people came to fifteen yuan and five jiao.

Just as He Tiantian was paying the bill, a man and woman nearby were also settling their account.

He Tiantian put away the change, shouldered her bag, and turned to leave.

The man behind her saw He Tiantian turn around and was astonished as though he’d seen a celestial being.

Then He Tiantian’s silhouette, her long hair, reminded him of that day’s silhouette...

So similar!

Could she be He Tiantian?

He Tiantian walked briskly, her sandals leaving behind a series of pleasant "pat-pat" sounds on the ground.

This person is Tang Qian.

He had come over at noon to invite Ning Huihui for lunch, only to encounter a beauty!

After paying, Tang Qian and Ning Huihui left the Hunan restaurant and saw He Tiantian calling everyone to the bus.

"Teacher He, wait for me, I’m going to buy some things," Teacher Xiao Chen hurriedly said. She wanted to buy some snacks to share with everyone,

"Sure!" He Tiantian smiled and said, "There’s still time, we’ll wait for you."

Having just eaten, He Tiantian didn’t want to sit down.

"Teacher He, why don’t you come in and sit?" Teacher Liu called out, "Aren’t you feeling hot standing outside?"

He Tiantian smiled and said, "Not at all, there’s shade from the trees. I’ve just eaten and would like to stand for a bit to avoid putting on belly fat!"

"Ah?" Teacher Liu was taken aback. "Teacher He, is that a thing?"

After hearing this, He Tiantian said, "Yes, if you don’t sit down for fifteen minutes after eating, it’s better."

"Then I’ll come out and stand too." Teacher Liu always cared about her figure. Even in her forties, she maintained it well, showing she paid great attention to it.

Teacher Liu was chatting with He Tiantian, bit by bit yet not constantly.

Not far away, Tang Qian squinted his eyes and looked over.

Teacher He?

What a coincidence?

Could it really be He Tiantian?

She is really beautiful indeed!

Huo Yingjie is such a lucky guy!

"Fourth Young Master, let’s go," Ning Huihui said. "I don’t have classes this afternoon. How about you accompany me to buy some clothes? A clothing studio opened recently, and there are a lot of clothes. All my classmates have bought some there."

Tang Qian turned his head and looked at Ning Huihui, another beautiful woman.

One like a dodder flower.

The other like a secluded orchid in a valley.

Each had their own beauty, but the orchid still had a distant, clear fragrance that was refreshing to the heart.

"I have things to do; you go by yourself," Tang Qian, feeling somewhat bored, got in his own car and left.

Ning Huihui was left standing there alone, slightly dazed.

Following the gaze of the Fourth Young Master from just now, she saw Tiantian next to the bus.

That woman is truly beautiful!

The Fourth Young Master couldn’t have taken a fancy to this woman, could he?

If that was the case, what would she do?

But if the Fourth Young Master were interested in such a woman, she could learn to be like her, to become that kind of woman.

"Teacher He, I’m here." Teacher Xiao Chen arrived, having bought a bag of candied fruit and pastries, and ran over.

Teacher Ma saw and joked with a laugh, "Aren’t you afraid of getting fat, always snacking like this?"

He Tiantian boarded the bus and smiled, "Teacher Xiao Chen’s face is round and cute! There will always be someone who notices her beauty."

"Haha!" Teacher Liu laughed, "Let’s hope so! Look, Teacher He doesn’t snack, and that’s why she maintains such a good figure."

"Cough cough!" He Tiantian smiled awkwardly, "Actually, I also like to snack; you’ll find out later."

It felt like her stomach was a bottomless pit; she had forced herself to only two bowls of rice in front of everyone and didn’t dare to ask for a third.

He Tiantian wasn’t driving fast, and Ning Huihui followed from a moderate distance. Once they entered the school gate and Ning Huihui couldn’t keep up, it didn’t matter—such a conspicuous car would be easy to find if she asked around.
