Chapter 268 It was a Wrong Pay After All
"Is Mr. Tao seriously considering my suggestion?"
Chen Jianghe looked at Tao Xinran and asked seriously.
"Yeah." Tao Xinran nodded and said, "Let me think about it carefully. After eating the hot pot tonight, I will decide whether to help you or not."
"Teacher Tao, don't think too much. I just asked you to have a few graduate students. I have no other intention." Chen Jianghe explained seriously.
"Humph." Tao Xinran snorted and said, "You're just short of writing the words 'I want you' on your face."
"That's not something you can talk about. My girlfriend is here. What I want is your graduate student."
Chen Jianghe denied it with a smile, then stood up to distance himself from Teacher Tao and ran into the kitchen to help Teacher Xu wash the vegetables.
"You and Teacher Tao have been chatting for a while, why don't you sit down and chat for a while? Why do you run into the kitchen and make trouble again?"
Xu Zhixi was washing the vegetables well by herself, but after Chen Jianghe came in, there was no room for her to move. They were so close that it made her blush.
"Are you jealous?" Chen Jianghe turned his head to look at Xu Zhixi's profile, intentionally observing whether she pouted her lips when she spoke.
Xu Zhixi is an intellectual and mature woman, and she only acts like a little woman in front of Chen Jianghe. However, she obviously noticed his gaze and said calmly, "I'm never jealous."
"Really?" Chen Jianghe was skeptical.
"Yeah." Xu Zhixi nodded, then turned to face Chen Jianghe, gently pressed her fingers on his chin, and said softly: "You are not allowed to flirt with other girls, otherwise I will definitely be jealous."
"You're pretty cute when you're jealous."
Chen Jianghe smiled, couldn't help but put his arm around her slender waist, and said, "The staff dormitory is too small. It's not convenient for two people to wash vegetables in the kitchen. I'll buy you a suite someday."
"Buy a house?" Xu Zhixi blinked and asked him in a low voice with a smile: "Do you want to marry me?"
Seeing Xu Zhixi smiling so beautifully, Chen Jianghe lowered his head and kissed her fair and tender cheek, and asked softly: "Then will you marry me?"
Xu Zhixi was slightly startled, pursed her lips, and said with blushing cheeks: "You are not yet of legal age to get married."
" Will you marry me when I reach the legal age ?" Chen Jianghe asked.
"I……"
Xu Zhixi held back her words, stood on tiptoe and pecked him hard on the lips, and said, "Okay, get out now, don't disturb me while I wash the vegetables, otherwise you and Teacher Tao will only be able to eat hot pot meat tonight, without vegetables to relieve the greasiness."
"It's okay if there are no vegetables. You are enough to relieve the greasiness."
Chen Jianghe held Xu Zhixi's hand, which felt icy cold. He turned on the faucet to test the water temperature and said distressedly, "Let me wash it."
"Oh." Xu Zhixi felt the care from her boyfriend and said softly. Just as she was about to go out, she saw Chen Jianghe lifting up his coat and putting her hands on his waist.
"Hold me and keep you warm." Chen Jianghe said to Xu Zhixi as he stretched out his hand to wash the vegetables.
Xu Zhixi's pretty face turned red again. The feeling of being hugged like this was really too intimate. The key point was that her best friend was still sitting outside.
After a while, Xu Zhixi took a breath and said hesitantly, "You, you are moving."
"It's normal." Chen Jianghe smiled and said, "Just don't move."
"You are so bad." Xu Zhixi said lightly, "If Teacher Tao came in and saw me, would I still be a human being?"
"It's not like she hasn't seen us hugging each other before." Chen Jianghe said.
Xu Zhixi raised her hand, pinched Chen Jianghe's face, and said with pouty lips: "You are so shameless..."
"Scientific research shows that girls are generally thicker-skinned than boys," Chen Jianghe retorted seriously.
"Nonsense." Xu Zhixi didn't believe it.
"Boys can grow beards on their faces, but girls can't. Isn't that enough to explain the problem?" Chen Jianghe said with a smile.
“This only shows that there are differences between men and women.”
Xu Zhixi responded softly, then pressed her hand down and took a small step back: "I'm going out, you wash the vegetables well and don't think too much."
"good."
Chen Jianghe nodded in agreement. Originally, he would not have thought too much about it, but Xu Zhixi's silent pressure before leaving made him feel very motivated for a long time.
The hotpot dinner was delicious as usual, but Chen Jianghe seemed a little absent-minded while eating.
"Student Chen Jianghe, I agreed to the matter you just mentioned to me. I will arrange for someone to report to your company's legal department tomorrow."
After dinner, Tao Xinran finally made a decision and mentioned, "How about you drive me back to school tonight in return?"
"no problem."
Chen Jianghe agreed readily.
At eight o'clock in the evening, Chen Jianghe drove Tao Xinran back to Zhongda. He wanted to meet Yishu on the way, but thought that it would be too high-profile, so he turned the steering wheel and headed for Xinghai Conservatory of Music.
"School girl Yi!"
Yi Caiwei had just walked out of the vocal room when a tall and handsome boy called her and strode towards her.
She looked up at the other person and asked calmly, "Senior Lu, do you have something to talk to me about?"
"Today is your birthday, and this is a special gift I prepared for you."
Lu Qianxun handed Yi Caiwei a beautifully wrapped gift box, and said with a gentlemanly smile, "Open it and see if it suits your taste."
"Thank you, Senior."
Yi Caiwei thanked him politely, then declined: "I'm not planning on celebrating my birthday, so I can't accept your gift."
Lu Qianxun was very well-mannered. He didn't show any displeasure when being rejected . He still had a smile on his clean and handsome face. He said, "How can you not celebrate your eighteenth birthday? This is a very important day in life. I carefully selected this gift for you. If you don't accept it, I can't return it. It's not easy to give it to others, and it's too wasteful to throw it away. Can you give me some face and accept it?"
Hearing this, Yi Caiwei looked at him seriously and said apologetically: "Sorry, senior, my boyfriend doesn't like me to accept gifts from others."
After that, she looked down at her phone and saw a text message: "I'm at your school."
"ah?"
Lu Qianxun was a little dumbfounded. He had been paying attention to Yi Caiwei for a long time. This freshman who was immediately named the campus belle of Xinghai Conservatory of Music after her appearance at the freshman party kept to herself most of the time. There were many boys chasing after her, but there had never been any rumors that she was dating any boy.
So when he suddenly heard her say the word "boyfriend", Lu Qianxun was confused.
"Even though you have a boyfriend, I still hope you can accept my gift, or at least open it and take a look. After all, it's a token of my love."
Lu Qianxun took a deep breath. As a school idol of Xinghai Conservatory of Music, for him, many girls could be taken out to get a room with just a flick of his finger. However, those were superficial sensory stimulations, and he would get bored of them after playing with them too much. There were very few girls who could really move his heart, and Yi Caiwei in front of him was one of them.
"Excuse me, I have to go back to practice singing."
Yi Caiwei was originally quite polite, but when she realized that Senior Lu was trying to pester her, she just walked away.
"etc!"
Lu Qianxun shouted and tried to chase after him, but saw a young man with a cigarette dangling from his mouth, staggering towards him along the street light.
"Senior Chen!"
Yi Caiwei saw Chen Jianghe at a glance, a surprised smile appeared on her face, and she happily quickened her pace and ran towards .
"Senior, did you walk here?"
Yi Caiwei came up to Chen Jianghe and asked with a smile.
Chen Jianghe glanced at her, pouted his lips in frustration and said, "No, I drove here. The security guards at your school are a bit stupid. They saw that I was handsome and were afraid that I would kidnap the pretty girls in the school, so they wouldn't let me drive in."
"Senior is indeed handsome." Yi Caiwei affirmed.
"What nonsense are you talking about."
Chen Jianghe reached into his pocket and took out a pair of red gloves he had just bought from a convenience store and handed them to Yi Caiwei: "It's cold, so I'll give you a pair of gloves to warm your hands."
"Thank you!" Yi Caiwei happily took it, then took off her backpack, took out a light grey scarf and handed it to Chen Jianghe: "This is the scarf I knitted, I hope you don't dislike it."
Chen Jianghe was stunned. He exchanged a pair of gloves worth three dollars for a scarf. Just considering the amount of wool, it was totally worth it.
No, even if you include the gas money for driving here, it’s still a small loss after all. As a shrewd "capitalist", details are very important.
Lu Qianxun, who was not far away, stared blankly at the two people standing under the street light exchanging gifts. He felt as if someone had pressed him to the ground and kicked him a few times, and his chest felt stuffy.
What surprised him even more was that the boy actually refused the scarf given by schoolgirl Yi. After saying a few words, he turned around casually, waved goodbye and left.
"Damn it, the girl I couldn't even chase after after all my efforts actually chased after her... and got rejected?"
Lu Qianxun felt particularly heartbroken. He wanted to go up and ask Yi Caiwei what she thought, but as soon as this thought came to his mind, he saw her jogging to catch up with the boy in front of her, and then slowly walked out of the campus with him.
"I'm afraid that Sister Yi will have a bloody disaster tonight..."
Lu Qianxun, an old hand in the love field, covered his chest with his hands. He spent thousands of dollars to buy the jade flute, but it was a waste after all.
