It was the first day for Gu Baisheng to work at the Institute of Special Education.
Of course, she woke up very early.
After making breakfast in the kitchen, she finished her portion and left Song Shuang's on the table, then she planned to go to work by bus.
Just when she picked up her bag,
Song Shuang stopped her when he dressed up, "Wait for a second. I'll drive you to your workplace."
Gu Baisheng blinked her eyes, "But you have to go more miles. You don't have to bother. I can go there by myself..."
"I'll drive you there." Song Shuang insisted.
Gu Baisheng had to bite her lips and waited for Song Shuang to pack his breakfast and leave with her.
"There is still much time left. We can leave after you finish your breakfast."
"I will eat it when I get to the hospital."
Song Shuang didn't change his attitude because of what happened last night.
He still treated her quite coldly and distantly.
But he somewhat seemed to treat her more closely too.
Song Shuang drove away from Jinshayuan after Gu Baisheng got in the car.
Song Shuang kept silent the whole way, but he spoke up after seeing the signboard of the Institute of Special Education, "If you can't get used to working here, I can arrange you to work at the hospital where Qu Xiaobo is."
Gu Baisheng froze for a moment and turned around to look at him.
He insisted to play it fair before,
But now he would arrange her to work at the Gynecologic Hospital?
Song Shuang knew that she was looking at her, but he didn't turn around to look back. He said, "I have checked this institute before. It indeed has something wrong. The teachers and school doctors who work here often change, and the relationships inside are very complicated, too."
"I think it's fine..." Gu Baisheng was thinking about what Mr. Wang, the Vice-principal, said to her, and smiled, "It's just about some disabled children. Maybe they just need more care."
"If it's only about the disabled children, the teachers and school doctors won't resign so often."
"Maybe it's hard to manage?"
Gu Baisheng guessed.
"Which one do you think is hard to manage, the disabled children or people with mental illness?"
Song Shuang asked.
Gu Baisheng answered right away, "People with mental illness."
"Will the medical staff who take care of them change very often?"
Gu Baisheng didn't know how to reply.
Song Shuang glanced at her, "You can resign if you can't handle it."
Maybe because Song Shuang said it so confidently, Gu Baisheng didn't want to resign so easily.
She answered stubbornly, "I can handle this."
Song Shuang looked at her unhappily.
Gu Baisheng lifted her chin, "Bai Shengsheng has such a bad reputation. It's very unlikely for her to get a job elsewhere. Why don't I make full use of this opportunity?"
Gu Baisheng was so stubborn that she made Song Shuang narrowed his eyes, "You are so stubborn."
Gu Baisheng glared at him.
Then Song Shuang stopped persuading her.
He got off the car after he parked at the front door.
Gu Baisheng was a bit surprised, "What are you doing?"
"I need to talk to the principal."
Gu Baisheng looked at him confusingly.
Song Shuang ignored her look and walked toward the front door.
The security guard at the front door seemed to know Song Shuang and he nodded to Song Shuang smilingly when Song Shuang walked in.
Gu Baisheng followed Song Shuang and felt that Song Shuang had something to do with this institute.
Song Shuang walked into the school and saw Mr. Wang waited in front of the teaching building when he just arrived.
When Mr. Wang saw Song Shuang, he said happily, "Welcome, Dr. Song!"
Gu Baisheng followed Song Shuang and looked at him confusingly.
Mr. Wang happened to see her and smiled at her, "Miss Bai Shengsheng, please go to the interview room. I asked Mr. Chu to wait for you there."
Gu Baisheng nodded.
She looked at Song Shuang, "I'll go now."
Song Shuang nodded.
Mr. Wang was a bit surprised, "You know Miss Bai Shengsheng, Dr. Song?"
"She is my wife."
"Wife?" Mr. Wang was shocked and cold sweat showed up on his forehead. His smile suddenly became awkward and intense, "What a coincidence! Your wife..."
Mr. Wang's face changed weirdly when he was half-finished. He suddenly realized it and said in shock, "Dr. Song, you got married again so quickly?"
Song Shuang didn't respond.
It was his privacy and he had no responsibility to explain to anyone.
The Vice-principal realized it too, so he smiled awkwardly and continued to talk about something else, "This way please, Dr. Song."
Song Shuang followed him with his chin up.
Gu Baisheng recalled her memory and went to the interview room.
When she arrived at the Vice-principal’s office, she saw a male teacher with black-framed glasses rushing.
That teacher had fair skin and looked gentle. He seemed to be a new teacher who just graduated college for a few years.
When he saw Gu Baisheng, he apologized, "You're Miss Bai, right? I'm so sorry to be late. I had a student emergency."
"It's fine. I'm Bai Shengsheng."
"Hello, Miss Bai." He was a bit surprised when he suddenly saw such a pretty female teacher, but he calmed down quickly and reached out his hand while introducing himself, "I'm Chu Qin, the math teacher here."
"Hello."
Gu Baisheng reached out her hand frankly and shook hands with Chu Qin.
Chu Qin said after he calmed down, "It's your first day here, Miss Bai. You don't know the main places here. I'll show you around and then take you to the school hospital."
"OK."
Gu Baisheng nodded.
Chu Qin reached out his hand to ask her to follow him.
Gu Baisheng followed up.
Chu Qin introduced her main teaching areas and the living areas such as dorms and the school canteen while they were walking around.
Because it was around the new year, art teachers were teaching some younger kids paper cuts.
Some students were looking out with their eyes blinking and some students were trying to put their red paper cuts on the window.
Gu Baisheng passed the window of the classroom. When she found some students were watching her curiously, she smiled at them gently.
Immediately, more students looked at her curiously.
Chu Qin said, "Those kids are physically disabled, but they don't have any problem with their intelligence. Quite the contrary, they're really smart."
Gu Baisheng nodded.
Chu Qin kept going and pointed at the deaf class, "The kids over there can't hear or speak. Two of them are underdeveloped intellectually. So we need to keep a close eye on them in case they would do anything dangerous. For instance, they don't have to take the paper cut class because they have to use scissors and might get hurt."
"Yeah." Gu Baisheng nodded.
She looked at the classroom.
She found that kids there were from different age groups.
Students could be 5 or 6 years old or even 15 or 16 years old.
So she asked Chu Qin, "The students in this class have a huge age gap?"
"Yeah, the youngest is 5 years old and the oldest is above 20."
Gu Baisheng nodded and asked curiously, "And he stays at school when he's above 20?"
"Yes, teachers are helping him to study university courses. He should've graduated a long time ago, but his family insisted to let him stay. To be honest, they want us to take care of him like taking care of a child." Chu Qin smiled bitterly, "I feel sorry for him. Nobody loves him. Although he's from a rich family, his family members detest him."
