Teacher Li shook her head to decline his offer . “I am not worthy enough to be the wedding witness . It was merely just a hunch that both of you would be a couple, and I only had the opportunity to meet both of you today . I just want to be a guest at your wedding . ”
“Who else other than you is worthy to be our witness?”
Yan Rusheng’s words cemented Teacher Li’s status in their hearts .
Getting his hands on the present wasn’t the entire reason he had offered Teacher Li to be their witness . He had been searching for a suitable one recently .
But no one was satisfactory . However, when he saw Teacher Li today, his eyes lit up .
Who else could be more suitable than Xuxu and his class teacher?
“Teacher Li, don’t decline anymore . ”
“Yeah! You are their class teacher, and you’re definitely worthy and suitable . ”
All the other teachers began to encourage her .
Teacher Li glanced at Xuxu .
Xuxu pressed her lips and winked at Teacher Li .
She smiled and said, “Then I shall accept it graciously . ”
She bent and opened her handbag to retrieve a pink envelope . With a benign smile, she passed it to Yan Rusheng .
“This is my present for you . Remember to open it when no one is around,” said Teacher Li as she stole a glance at Xuxu .
Xuxu had an urge to intercept that envelope when she was passing it to Yan Rusheng .
But she wasn’t as daring as Zhou Shuang, so she could only sit there and watch them with her heart in her mouth .
Yan Rusheng nodded as he received it . “Thank you, Teacher Li . ”
How he wished he could tear the envelope right then . But Teacher Li had reminded him to open it when he was alone .
He hesitated before standing up . “I need the gents . ”
He had drunk a considerable amount tonight and he needed the gents .
When he stood up, giddiness seized him and he almost lost his footing . Fortunately, he managed to hold on to the table for support .
Xuxu hastily stood up and grabbed his arm . “Ah Sheng, what’s wrong? Are you drunk?”
Yan Rusheng shook his head . “I’m fine . ”
He gently pushed Xuxu’s hand and said, “I’m going to the gents . Wen Xuxu, you’re not allowed to follow me . ”
Xuxu snorted coldly . ” Hmph! I thought you were drunk, so I wanted to support you . Who wants to take a peek at your present!”
Xuxu sat down in a huff and turned her face away from Yan Rusheng .
Yan Rusheng grinned before walking to the exit .
He really drank too much that night . He felt that his head was getting heavier as he stumbled clumsily out of the room .
Xuxu sneaked a glance at Yan Rusheng . She really wanted to follow him but she couldn’t .
Yan Rusheng came out of the cubicle and walked to the basin .
He leaned against the basin as he excitedly tore the envelope . An aged-looking paper with a drawing was inside .
He was feeling really giddy that he was already seeing double .
“Ah Sheng…” Yan Rusheng mumbled when he saw the words on the paper .
Ah Sheng… wasn’t that him?
He beamed widely and he was delighted .
He shook his head in a bid to clear his mind . There were two children in the drawing: a girl and a boy .
Yan Rusheng was grinning from ear to ear as he bent to sniff the paper .
“Xuxu . ”
That drawing was hypnotizing him like a drug and he couldn’t resist it . He closed his eyes and Xuxu’s face filled his mind .
Her smile, her tears, her anger, her gentleness…
