After Chu Zhongtian saw Mathilde in the evening, he found that her dressing returned to her previous appearance. He was a little disappointed and showed it directly on his face.

Mathilde smiled when he saw him like this: "You are really like a child waiting for Christmas gifts but finding that the socks are empty."

"I thought you would change your style a little."

"So do you want me to teach in that dress every time?"

"Clothes are just secondary, I just hope you can...be more like a normal girl." Chu Zhongtian explained.

"You want me to wear more exposed?" Mathilde asked tilted his head and stared at him.

Chu Zhongtian waved his hand quickly: "No, no, I just think..." I hope Mathilde's clothes are exposed a little, does it mean that he has any intentions for Mathilde? This question must be explained clearly, otherwise he will be misunderstood by Teacher Mathilde, and he will not be able to wash it even if he jumps into the Yellow River. "...Hi, put down the braid." He was so anxious that he reached out to untie Mathilde's braid.

Mathilde leaned back a little. She wanted to take a step back and avoid Chu Zhongtian's hand, but at that moment she changed her mind and let Chu Zhongtian unbutton her two braids.

Chu Zhongtian looked at it, then said to her, "Wait." He got into the bathroom, and when he came out, he took a comb with water. He combed the bangs on Mathilde's forehead aside and looked at it carefully for a while.

"That's good." He smiled, "Go to the mirror and take a look."

Mathilde obediently walked to the bathroom and looked at herself in the mirror. Her hairstyle changed a little, which was indeed more eye-catching than before. She looked intellectually beautiful with glasses. She saw Chu Zhongtian appear behind her, holding a cardboard box with a red ribbon wrapped in her hand and a bow tied with a red ribbon.

"I'll give you Christmas gifts, Mr. Marty. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year."

Mathilde took it with some surprise, and then opened it in front of Chu Zhongtian: "What is it? Wow..."

A dark red plaid scarf lay quietly on the box.

It feels very warm and soft to the touch.

"I don't know what color you like. I think this one is pretty good, so I bought it. I hope you like it."

Mathilde took the scarf out of the box and whirled gently.

"Do you want me to tie it for you?" Chu Zhongtian asked from behind.

Mathilde nodded.

Chu Zhongtian took the scarf, then gently put Mathilde's brown hair with one hand. Her hair was not hanging straight down, but fluffy and a little messy. He fiddled his hair and put a scarf on Mathilde.

Then he put down Mathilde's hair and placed his hands naturally on her shoulders, carefully examining the effect in the mirror.

The scarf is very good and the person is very good, but the clothes are not very suitable.

Seeing Mathilde being a little unkind, he laughed: "Are you deliberately dressing yourself up like that, to beware of me, Teacher Math?"

Mathilde felt a little embarrassed: "Actually not, it's just... I don't have time to spend time and energy on my appearance."

Chu Zhongtian knew about Mathilde's situation, but he still wanted to persuade the girl: "Now you are finally independent, so you have to consider yourself."

"How do you think about it?" Mathilde looked at himself and Chu Zhongtian in the mirror.

"Life like an ordinary girl." Chu Zhongtian raised his hand and pulled the corners of his mouth, "First of all, start with laughter, smile more."

Mathilde in the mirror smiled slightly.

"That's it." Chu Zhongtian pointed at Mathilde in the mirror.

"Thank you, Chu." Her body suddenly leaned back and leaned against Chu Zhongtian.

Chu Zhongtian was a little surprised, but he did not dodge, but stood there and let Mathilde lean against him.

Mathilde, who leaned against Chu Zhongtian, closed his eyes and smiled faintly on his face, as if he was enjoying it.

Chu Zhongtian stood behind her, not daring to move, for fear of waking up Teacher Mathilde.

Mathilde leaned his face toward Chu Zhongtian's chest, as if he was sleeping. She suddenly said, "Your heartbeats a little fast, Chu."

Chu Zhongtian could feel his heartbeat, which was indeed a bit fast. But why was it fast?

In the small bathroom, the lonely man and the widow are in the same room, with an ambiguous posture... Of course, the heartbeat will accelerate.

In fact, there were several times just now, Chu Zhongtian had the urge to extend his hand to direct the poster Mathilde. However, he forced this idea down, and he couldn't hold it down with his heartbeat, just like a big stone pressing on his chest.

Mathilde suddenly left Chu Zhongtian's body, and the feeling that a big stone was pressed on his chest also dissipated.

"Is it that I pressed you?" Mathilde asked.

Chu Zhongtian shook his head quickly: "No."

"Sorry, Chu." Mathilde held his glasses, "Let's go to class, it's been delayed."

"It's okay..." Seeing Mathilde walk out, Chu Zhongtian felt a little regretful while breathing a sigh of relief... He looked down at his hand. Maybe he should have been a little bolder just now? But will Teacher Mathilde be angry?

Foreign countries, especially France, hugging between men and women should be quite normal, right? Hugging does not mean that it must be done, right? I just think that Mathilde, a girl's family, has to bear such heavy pressure on life. As a man, it is not normal to let her rely on her with her chest. Is it very logical? Hugging her is just to express her concern for her... Just as Chu Zhongtian was thinking about it alone, he heard Mathilde's puzzled voice: "Chu? We are going to start class."

"Ah...oh! I'll come."

Chu Zhongtian unscrewed the faucet, pretended to wash his hands, and then walked out of the bathroom.

Mathilde looked at him in confusion: "What's wrong with you?"

"Nothing, haha." Chu Zhongtian sat in his position and opened the book: "Let's start, Teacher Mati."

※※After the class, Mathilde suddenly asked: "How long have we been in class, Chu?"

Chu Zhongtian thought about it and replied: "It started in July last year."

"Well..." Mathilde nodded, "You can communicate with me fluently now, and the first time I saw you, I still use English."

"Yes, thanks to your teacher, you taught well." Chu Zhongtian smiled.

"It's just that you have the talent for learning. This is the first time I have seen a foreigner who can communicate with French people after three months of study. You should know that French is very complicated."

The student Chu Zhongtian was praised by the teacher and was so happy that he didn't know what to say except laughing.

"I have considered that you are just a player, and playing football is your profession. In language learning, you can just communicate with others. There is no need to go too far... So if you consider this aspect..." She paused, as if she was making a very important decision. "You no longer need to learn French."

The smile on Chu Zhongtian's face froze.

"Sorry, teacher. I didn't understand..."

Mathilde changed to English and said, "You no longer need to learn French, Chu. After today, I will not be your teacher."

"No...I'm not saying I can't understand French, I'm saying I don't understand what this means?" Chu Zhongtian shook his head and asked. "What are you not my teacher since today? I think I still don't understand a lot. I still want to continue learning French."

“I think continuing to learn French will waste a lot of your time…”

"We only have one class a week, and I don't think it's a waste of my time, Teacher Mati." Chu Zhongtian spread his hands and said seriously.

"You are now French-speaking and you are no longer afraid of traveling all over France. You can even understand the accent like Ribery..."

"But I still have a lot of things I don't understand."

"If you don't understand professional terms, just don't understand them. As long as your daily life is enough."

"But you not only teach me language, but you also teach me etiquette, common sense of life here, literature and art... Always, everything in France, my entire understanding of this country, except football, comes from you."

"You are a professional player, Chu. These things are optional for you, just know, and you don't need to study or study in depth." Mathilde shook his head and said.

Chu Zhongtian looked at Mathilde so resolutely and stopped talking.

Seeing that he was silent, a hint of hesitation and uneasiness flashed across Mathilde's face. Finally, she smiled and said, "Sorry, Chu. I really have nothing to teach you. I just don't be your honest, but we are still friends..."

"Are you a friend?" Chu Zhongtian asked.

"I think...yes." Mathilde nodded.

"Will you not come next week?"

"Yes, no more. Today is the last class."

“Is Hanmair’s ‘last lesson’?”

Chu Zhongtian refers to a short story by the famous French writer Alphonse_daudet, named "The Last Lesson", which he learned when he was a child. Later, when he came to Metz, he learned that the story originally took place in the Lorraine area where Metz was. However, Mathilde once told her that the description in that novel is not necessarily true, at least it does not necessarily describe the real life of most people in the Lorraine area.

Because at that time, most people in the Lorraine region originally spoke German, and this place was close to Germany and had long belonged to Germany. It was not until 1648 that it became France's "informal protection state". It was not until the period of Louis XIV that France occupied Strasbourg, which established its formal rule. Therefore, during the French-Prussian War, it was re-allocated to Germany, and for many people, it returned to the language environment they were more familiar with. The last lesson in French described in the novel did not meet the true situation of 95% of the people at that time.

Until now, the Lorraine region is still basically the case. Many people can speak French and speak German. French is taught in schools, while German may be the family language. Delphin Mathilde is an example. Her mother's great-grandfather is German. She can speak English, French and German. Her German was taught by her mother since she was a child.

Hearing Chu Zhongtian's question, Mathilde laughed, and she kept shaking her head: "No, it's not that sad. It's just a farewell. We are all in Metz, and we can always meet. And you have my mobile phone number. If you want to contact me, you can definitely contact me."

After all this, what else can Chu Zhongtian say?

He nodded in disappointment: "Okay, I hope we will meet again in the future. Teacher Mati, if you have time, welcome to watch my game."

Mathilde smiled: "Even if I don't go to the scene, I will always pay attention to you."

Before leaving, Mathilde turned around and looked at Chu Zhongtian, then suddenly took a step forward and put his face up.

Chu Zhongtian was shocked - Could it be that the teacher wanted to kiss him...?

Just when he was surprised, Mathilde just rubbed his cheek, then switched to the other side, pouted and rubbed it - it was a French kiss.

The heart he raised fell, but he felt a little lost.

I had contacted Teacher Mathilde before, but I had never performed such a ritual. At most, I just shook hands. Although there were many kisses in France, teachers and students would not do it, and if there was no introduction from strangers, it would not be so casual, let alone a wary stranger. When I first met Mathilde, Chu Zhongtian thought he wanted to kiss, but he didn't expect Mathilde to extend his hand in advance and shake hands with him. After that, in order to show politeness, they shook hands and saluted. This was the first time that this kiss with Mathilde was held.

Chu Zhongtian was a little dazed.

Mathilde has retreated.

"Thank you for your gift, Chu. Goodbye."

She opened the door and walked out. Before Chu Zhongtian could say goodbye to her, she closed the door.
