Because White City was really backward and poor.
When Mignon heard that there was a new teacher, she was a little surprised. When the new teacher came out from behind the headmaster, her expression changed a little.
"Mignon, long time no see." The man was wearing a light white shirt and a pair of black suit pants. His face was gentle and handsome, and he stared at Mignon with bright eyes.
He was Egbert.
"Egbert, do you know Mignon?" The headmaster was surprised when he heard Egbert calling Mignon's name.
Egbert said with a faint smile, "We used to be friends."
Used to be...
The headmaster looked at them meaningfully and then smiled. Then he let them talk to each other and left.
After he left, a gust of wind blew past Mignon, and her body tensed.
She pursed her lips and glanced at Egbert coldly. She said with indifferent eyes.
"Why did you find this place?"
"It's... been half a year." Egbert walked to Mignon, stood next to her and looked at the distance, as if he didn't hear what she said.
Mignon didn't speak anymore. She grabbed the book in her hand tightly.
"Even if you don't want to see me, don't you miss Nacho? A lot of things have changed in the past half a year."
"Egbert, I hope you can forget what happened that night."
There was no need for that wrong night to exist in their minds, so Mignon hoped that Egbert could completely forget what had happened that night.
Egbert narrowed his eyes slightly and said with a faint smile, "But, I can't forget it for the rest of my life. What should I do?"
Mignon's expression suddenly changed. Her fingertips turned pale, and the atmosphere gradually became stiff.
At this time, a little student called Mignon.
"Mrs. Mignon, time for class!"
Only then did Mignon come to sense. After composing her emotions, she said calmly, "I'm going to teach my lesson. You can do whatever you want."
"I'm also a teacher of this school, and I'll go to the classroom with you."
Egbert smiled at Mignon in an elegant manner.
Mignon glanced at Egbert and left in a hurry, "Whatever."
The hemline of her white dress was blown by the wind. Looking at her slender and beautiful back, Egbert was obsessed.
He stared at Mignon's back for a long time, then he smiled with his face full of confidence.
This time, he would not allow Mignon to leave him again.
No matter what method he used, he would definitely let Mignon be his girlfriend.
"The artistic conception of this poem is relatively sad, mainly describing the sorrow and melancholy after seeing his friends off..."
Standing on the platform, Mignon was teaching her students a poem.
Egbert sat in the last row in the classroom.
Egbert was handsome. His appearance made those students very curious. They didn't listen to Mignon seriously and peeked at Egbert from time to time.
The students in junior high school had already known what love was, and they also knew the importance of appearance.
Of course, they liked Egbert's handsome face.
"Mrs. Mignon, is Mr. Egbert your boyfriend?" Seeing that all the students were looking at Egbert, Mignon's face darkened. When she was thinking about whether she should dismiss the class ahead of schedule, a naughty student suddenly raised his hand and asked her with a smile.
His words made the atmosphere in the class awkward. In the past, these children were very obedient. Unexpectedly, they wanted to gossip when they saw Egbert, and they actually asked Mignon this question in class.
With her face darkened, Mignon didn't say a word.
But Egbert, who was sitting at the back of the classroom, smiled after hearing the question.
Seeing Egbert's smile, Mignon glared at him. Egbert shrugged his shoulders innocently, indicating that it had nothing to do with him.
"Mrs. Mignon, are you shy so you don't know how to answer?" Seeing that Mignon didn't say anything, the naughty student blinked his eyes and asked.
Mignon suppressed her anger and said, "Well, today's class is over. Remember to review carefully after class."
Those students heckled and looked at Mignon in a joking way.
Pretending to be calm, Mignon took her textbook and left the classroom.
After she left, those students left the classroom with smiles.
Egbert stared at Mignon's back, then he got up and followed her.
"Egbert, don't follow me!" Mignon could feel that Egbert was following her.
She turned around, endured the anger in her heart and said to him coldly.
"Are you afraid of me?" Hearing Mignon's angry voice, Egbert smiled faintly and asked her. Mignon's body suddenly suddenly tensed when she heard that.
When Mignon came out of the headmaster's office, she stood in the long and mottled corridor. Thinking of the time she had spent here, she felt a little bitter.
Everyone here was very enthusiastic and friendly. She liked this kind of peaceful feeling of living here.
However, she had to leave here. The reason why she came here to be a teacher was that she wanted to forget what had happened in Beijing.
Since Egbert had found her, she must leave here.
"Are you going to leave here?" Egbert stood behind her and asked.
Looking back at Egbert, Mignon said with a complicated expression, "Egbert, don't follow me anymore. With your status, you can find a woman who is better than me."
She was surprised that Egbert actually fell in love with her, but she insisted on refusing him.
"As for what kind of woman I like or what kind of woman suits me, it's not up to you."
Egbert was very unhappy when he heard Mignon's words, so he snorted at her.
Hearing this, Mignon just smiled faintly and said, "Don't follow me. I'll leave here."
"You don't even want Nacho?" Looking at Mignon like this, Egbert got angry. He narrowed his eyes and deliberately mentioned Nacho.
Mignon's hands suddenly trembled, and even her expression changed.
Although Egbert couldn't see her expression at the moment, he could completely imagine that the expression on her face had changed.
He chuckled and walked to her. Then he said with stubborn and cold eyes, "What's wrong? You didn't have any expression when you heard my confession. But when you heard Nacho's name, you're moved, right?"
"Egbert, what do you want from me?" Mignon suppressed the anger in her heart and asked coldly.
"I just want to see if you really care about nothing, but it seems that you still love Nacho."
Egbert smiled mockingly and said without any emotion in his eyes.
Mignon's face tightened when she heard Egbert's words. She pinched her palm and looked at Egbert coldly.
"Do you want to know about Nacho's life now? Maybe you don't know that he has got married."
Boom! Mignon's face was extremely pale. She looked at Egbert's face with her eyes open wide in disbelief.
What did Egbert say? Had Nacho got married?
"Do you know who his wife is? Maybe I should call her Mrs. Gu.” Egbert approached Mignon's face and stared into her eyes.
Mignon was stiff all over. She couldn't say a word and her body was trembling.
"Sibyl." Hearing this, Mignon's face became pale in an instant.
