A Retired Athlete's Easygoing Life as a PE Teacher

The column "After My Divorce, My Ex-Husband's Brother Set His Sights on Me" is currently updating -- Qi Yan was a prodigiously talented, world-class skiing phenomenon. But after winning the world championship, an accident and his injuries forced him to retire, leaving everyone sighing over his ill fate... "Shh! The homeroom teacher's here!" With a slipper dangling from one foot, Qi Yan shuffled into the classroom, took his place at the podium, and said, "The math teacher's taking the day off. This period, we'll have..." The students chorused, "PE!" A PE teacher by trade, Qi Yan unexpectedly became a homeroom teacher. Thanks to the experience he'd gained writing over a thousand disciplinary self-criticisms in the high school academic affairs office, and his easygoing personality, he managed to win over the students. At school, he was their homeroom teacher. In private, he was a universe-class male model. Students: Everyone, hit that recommend button! The year Qi Yan's class started their senior year, the school paid a fortune to hire an exceptionally skilled math teacher, who was also going to be their homeroom teacher. At first, they thought they'd get some old geezer who mumbled through lessons like he was sleep-talking. But... the math teacher was only in his early thirties, handsome and impeccably put together. He was practically dancing on Qi Yan's aesthetic preferences. We're not buddies, but you look... a bit like the owner of the gay bar I went to last night. Yan Xi said calmly, "We meet again, Teacher Qi." Spring had arrived for a PE teacher who'd been living like a retiree... -- When Qi Yan was on the national team, he had a boyfriend of five years, his first love. They had been together when they were both unknown, and had seen each other reach the top. In everyone else's eyes, they were a perfect match. But in truth, Qi Yan was the only one keeping their relationship afloat. He revolved around Lin Yan, indulging and comforting him. A naive boy in his first relationship, Qi Yan poured his whole heart into the other man, even though the other man didn't value his sincerity at all. After an injury forced Qi Yan to leave the ski team, the two went through one argument after another, sometimes with a year between them. In the end, they broke up. Qi Yan spent nine years on the ski team, exhausting every ounce of his energy. His career plunged off a cliff, and his troubled relationship left him doubting himself again and again, even showing signs of anxiety. Students: Anxious? Sensitive? Overthinking? Tied up in knots? Find Teacher Yan Xi from Class Six, the pinnacle of rationality, a math teacher who specializes in curing melodrama~ A few months later- Students: What's got our dark-skinned sports ace brooding now? Qi Yan: This dark-skinned sports ace is figuring out how to pursue your straight-laced math teacher. -- You only realize what you had after you've lost it. By the time Lin Yan came to his senses, he'd been broken up with Qi Yan for a year, and Qi Yan hadn't contacted him once during that time. Lin Yan thought he'd taken his temper tantrum too far this time, so he went to Qi Yan's home to find him. But someone else opened the door. Yan Xi's narrow eyes were calm. He glanced at Lin Yan and asked mildly, "Who are you looking for?" After a long silence, Lin Yan smiled. "I'm looking for my boyfriend." -- Theme: Respect fate and embrace it.
