DCTMOAS Chapter 3
Late August was still oppressively hot. There wasn’t much content in the new teacher orientation, so Chu Cheng had plenty of time to organize his desk in the air-conditioned office and chat with his new colleagues. In the senior-year Chinese department of No. 10 High School, there were currently nine teachers, all seasoned veterans. Across the whole school, Chu Cheng was the only new Chinese teacher hired in recent years, and he was only assigned to one class. It really did feel like whoever got…-

The weather in November gradually turned colder. The school had just gone through midterm exams and the semester’s progress summary, and work remained as busy as ever. One sunny afternoon, Chu Cheng leaned against the railing of the senior division building. A delivery guy in a yellow uniform rushed over with a paper bag in hand. “Mr. Chu? I’m so sorry, my scooter ran out of battery on the way.” “No problem.” Chu Cheng took the coffee, confirmed it was the mint latte he had ordered,…-

The indicator light above the endoscopy room turned green. Chu Cheng put his shoes back on and got off the examination bed. He leaned against a ventilated window for twenty to thirty minutes, trying to calm the discomfort caused by the standard gastroscopy. Due to the physiological reaction, the corners of his eyes were rimmed with a faint reddish sheen, and his pale, slender fingers clutched tightly onto the corner of the windowsill. “Are you okay?” A nurse noticed he hadn’t left and…-

Night had fallen. The barbecue feast had gone on for quite a while. Gossip about everyone’s relationships had already been thoroughly discussed. Satisfied with food and drink but still in high spirits, the group moved indoors for karaoke. News spreads quickly on campus. Many teachers had already heard about Chu Cheng singing during his first class, so it was inevitable that he’d be teased to perform again in this setting. But Mr. Chu handled it gracefully—he wasn’t shy at all. As long as…-

Friday.The bell rang to signal the end of the morning self-study session. Chu Cheng walked back from the classroom to the Chinese Department office. From a few steps away, he could already hear voices and laughter coming from inside. Among them, he vaguely recognized Zhou Jin’s voice. As he stepped through the door, he indeed saw his senior distributing wedding candy to the teachers. “Back to work so soon?” Chu Cheng sat down at his desk and looked at him with a smile. “How was the wedding…-

Chu Cheng was still lost in thought about their previous conversation. Meanwhile, Yu Siting had finished tidying up his desk and glanced down at the takeout bag in Chu Cheng’s hand. “What did you order?” “Nothing special—just a basic rice bowl.” Chu Cheng lifted the bag to show him. “I’ve gotten tired of all the nearby places, just randomly picked one.” “Want to stay and share a table?” Yu Siting asked casually, as if it were the most natural thing in the world. Chu Cheng…-

After two days and nights of intense competition, the sports meet and cultural celebration finally came to a successful close. No matter the event, Class 7 of Grade 11 had performed remarkably well. After the points and voting results were tallied, Yu Siting’s office desk gained another pile of trophies and certificates with nowhere to place them. And then, school life returned to normal. Having gotten used to waking up early, Chu Cheng almost never arrived late anymore. On some days, she even…-

As the evening sun broke through the clouds after the rain, the competitions on the sports field resumed with renewed intensity. The final stretch of the 1000m race for the Grade 11 boys was underway, and all the students had their eyes glued to the track. “Mu Yiyang! Mu Yiyang!” Amid the synchronized cheering of Class 7, Mu Yiyang lived up to expectations and was the first to cross the finish line — but the very next second, he collapsed onto the track. It was a heavy fall. Gasps and…-

The students who had just bumped into him saw Chu Cheng’s messy state and rushed to apologize:“Sorry, Mr. Chu! Quick, get tissues—tissues!”The meat-scented grease had already completely soaked into the fabric, and the more they tried to wipe it, the worse it got. After a flurry of students tried to help, they had no choice but to give up. "It won't come off…" "We really didn't mean to, sir. How about switching with me?" "Does anyone have a spare jacket in their classroom?" The minor…-

There was only one day left before the school sports meet. As usual, all evening self-study sessions were suspended for the entire grade. From the afternoon onward, every class began making full use of the valuable time to prepare for the event. The school field was lively before sunset—students running in groups on the track to build stamina, squads adjusting formations along the pathway, and performance teams rehearsing on the artificial turf… Everywhere was filled with scenes of teachers and…-
