Chapter 523: An Excited Heart
After an afternoon of shopping, Gu Tiantian was also feeling quite exhausted.
Upon returning to Jinxin Courtyard, she went upstairs, put down her bag, and headed to the bathroom to freshen up.
When she came out of the bathroom, an hour had already passed.
Seeing the note placed under a cup on the coffee table in the living room, Gu Tiantian raised an eyebrow.
"Miss Gu, there is an urgent matter at home, so I had to leave. The food is ready and in the fridge, please take good care of yourself."
Gu Tiantian blinked and looked at the note again.
Then she lifted her head, glanced around the entire living room, and looked towards the bedroom, guest room, study...
Since that day, Bai Chenyao hadn’t returned.
And now, Mrs. Chen had also left.
Here, there was only her.
Gu Tiantian’s heart suddenly beat strongly several times.
A thought suddenly emerged from the bottom of her heart, causing her face to flush with excitement.
Struggling to control her excited emotions, Gu Tiantian quickly went to the study and opened her laptop.
Since there was no password set, the startup was very smooth.
She searched for Administrative University, entered the main campus page, and indeed saw the news about university students going to rural areas to teach.
Graduate school is inevitable, and possibly escaping from Bai Chenyao, why shouldn’t she seize this opportunity to leave altogether?
The more Gu Tiantian thought about it, the more excited she became, but her actions grew steadier.
As if afraid of accidentally alerting someone.
With slightly trembling fingertips, Gu Tiantian quickly applied for a spot in the rural teaching program online, then entered her phone number and various identification details.
After some hesitation, Gu Tiantian transferred money from her bank card to her Alipay and WeChat accounts, the amount wasn’t large, but she transferred it several times.
Quickly clearing the browsing traces on the computer, ensuring no clues were left behind, she swiftly shut down the laptop.
Nervous about Bai Chenyao suddenly returning, Gu Tiantian remained very vigilant.
Leaving the study, Gu Tiantian began packing clothes.
The clothes with tags in the wardrobe were clearly unsuitable, she only took two sets of change clothes.
All the luggage amounted to just a small backpack, similar in size to the one she usually carried to school, definitely not attracting anyone’s attention.
That night, Gu Tiantian barely slept at all.
Too excited and too nervous, worried that the plan would fall apart before it could be executed, so her nerves were tense all along.
Not until after six o’clock in the morning the next day, when it was already light outside, did Gu Tiantian get up quickly, wash up, and get ready.
She went to the kitchen, warmed up the breakfast prepared by Mrs. Chen, and ate heartily before leaving home routinely as if she were going downstairs.
After arriving at school, Gu Tiantian went straight to the administrative office.
Director Huang, upon seeing her, was slightly taken aback.
"Gu... Tiantian."
Gu Tiantian slightly smiled, showing a hint of restraint like many students do when meeting a teacher.
"That’s right."
"You’ve signed up for the rural teaching program?"
Gu Tiantian nodded again, and Director Huang looked a bit puzzled.
"What about—"
"It’s already been decided!"
Before Director Huang could speak further, Gu Tiantian added.
"If Director Huang thinks there’s an issue, you can call and ask directly."
Director Huang, upon hearing this, promptly shook his head with a smile.
"No need, after all, this is your own matter, you can decide for yourself. I was just worried you hadn’t discussed it with your parents, it seems I worried needlessly."
Gu Tiantian smiled, lowering her eyes to hide the emotions at the bottom of them.
This rural teaching program had started accepting applications online three months before the semester began. There were only ten spots available, lasting for half a year, and the location was somewhat remote, in a rural area in the north.
