Chapter 299 Red Rose and White Rose
Dean Jiang was like a high school class teacher checking on students during evening self-study. He just happened to show up at the door of the Entrepreneurship Center, coughed twice, and then turned and left.
Chen Jianghe and Xu Zhixi looked at each other and saw that her pretty face was red and shy. He smiled and teased, "It was just a kiss and someone saw us. It wasn't like we were caught having an affair. Why are you blushing?"
"You still say it's all your fault." Xu Zhixi pouted and pinched him, saying coquettishly, "The dean knows about our affairs... How can you still laugh?"
Chen Jianghe shrugged nonchalantly: "If you know, then know. The university doesn't have a clear ban on dating. Can Dean Jiang break up the couple?"
"You're so powerful now that you're not even afraid of the dean?" Xu Zhixi asked in surprise.
Chen Jianghe smiled, stared at her with a slightly focused gaze and said, "With Bai Yueguang in my heart, I am not afraid of the dark. Why should I be afraid of the dean?"
"Who is the white moonlight in your heart?" Xu Zhixi asked.
"Who else could it be except you?" Chen Jianghe asked indifferently.
The phrase "White Moonlight" comes from Eileen Chang's novel "Red Rose and White Rose". Later, Jeff Chang made it popular by singing a love song in 2004.
Xu Zhixi thought about it, and her mind naturally recalled the photo she had seen in Chen Jianghe's bedroom before. She couldn't help but say, "And the girl in your high school graduation photo."
When Chen Jianghe heard this, he thought that women's memories were incredibly strong. No wonder when many old couples quarreled, the woman could always easily dig up old things from decades ago.
When a woman brings up old issues, if the man wants to resolve the situation, it depends on whether he has a strong enough mentality, a thick enough skin, and a fast enough brain.
"Teacher Xu, if I say that she was really my white moonlight in high school, would you be angry?" Chen Jianghe asked calmly.
"No." Xu Zhixi knew that he had a crush on her in high school, so it was rare for him to be so frank, so she didn't intend to hold on to it. She shook her head and said generously: "As long as it's not now, it's fine."
Chen Jianghe thought that this was actually the case now, but he definitely couldn't say such words in front of Xu Zhixi, otherwise, no matter how generous she was, she would not be able to accept this fact.
Xu Zhixi had already expressed her opinion, so naturally she didn't ask any more questions. She turned her attention back to the food box on the table and asked softly, "Did you not have lunch either?"
"Yeah, I'm so hungry."
Chen Jianghe patted his slightly shriveled belly, and saw Xu Zhixi handing him the box of Wuyuanzi cake with a smile: "Eat this, it's fragrant and sticky, it should suit your taste, the others are too spicy."
"I think I need to challenge my limit of eating spicy food so that my mother-in-law will be impressed by me next time I go home with you." Chen Jianghe said.
When talking about going home, Xu Zhixi's eyes dimmed unconsciously.
Chen Jianghe noticed this detail, put his arm around her slender waist, and said, "Come home with me for the New Year this year. When the weather gets better, I'll go back to my hometown with you to celebrate the New Year. What do you think?"
"Hmm!" Xu Zhixi sniffed. Although Chen Jianghe was younger than her, he was always considerate of details.
Seeing that she was about to cry, Chen Jianghe reached down and diverted her attention: "Don't wear short skirts when it's cold. It's easy to get teased."
Xu Zhixi raised her hand and punched him gently: "Be serious..."
"I'm very serious."
Chen Jianghe blinked and said, "I'm worried that the wind outside might be too strong and lift my girlfriend's skirt."
"..."Xu Zhixi slapped his hand away, sat down, straightened her skirt, and ate seriously.
When they were almost done eating, Xu Zhixi looked up at Chen Jianghe and said, "I heard that you've been in trouble recently?"
"What kind of trouble are you referring to?" Chen Jianghe was unsure of the real intention of Teacher Xu's question, so he asked back.
"Teacher Tao told me that several of your real estate agency stores were smashed." Xu Zhixi said.
"Yeah." Chen Jianghe nodded and said lightly: "It's just a small trouble. It's settled now. Don't worry about me."
"That's good." Xu Zhixi breathed a sigh of relief. She blinked her eyes and looked at him and asked, "What kind of life do you yearn for?"
Chen Jianghe said without hesitation: "Earn enough money to last for several lifetimes and marry the best Xu Zhixi in the world."
"And Yishu and the secretary." Chen Jianghe added silently in his heart.
"The first half of the sentence should be your true thoughts." Xu Zhixi pursed her lips and said, "The second half of the sentence must be deliberately said to make me happy."
"Do you remember the promise I made to my classmates when I ran for monitor of Business Administration Class 1?" Chen Jianghe suddenly asked.
When Xu Zhixi heard this, she immediately remembered the ten kilograms of wedding candy. At the time, she thought he was just joking to gain popularity. Now thinking about it, she really fell step by step. She blushed and denied it, "I don't remember, and you are not allowed to mention it again."
"Then I won't mention it. I'll wait for you to take the initiative later." Chen Jianghe chuckled, as if his conspiracy had succeeded.
"snort!"
Xu Zhixi obviously sensed something was wrong, but was too embarrassed to bring up the past again. She snorted to express her dissatisfaction and then let it go.
After Chen Jianghe accompanied Xu Zhixi to finish lunch, he returned to the Light Chaser base. When he arrived at the door, he found that his father-in-law Lin Zheping's car was parked not far away, and his driver Lao Hu was standing under the eaves smoking.
"My friend brought me some Baihao Yinzhen from its origin in Fujian. Come and try it."
Lin Zheping's face was flushed. It seemed that he had drunk a lot of wine at noon today. He came to Chasing the Light after the social event.
Chen Jianghe originally thought that Lin Zheping came because several sales offices of Anxia Group in eastern Guangdong were smashed. Now, seeing him making tea with a smile on his face, he realized that his father-in-law was really open-minded.
Fujian's Baihao Yinzhen is known as the "beauty" and "king of tea" among teas because of its straight needle-like appearance and full of white hairs that look like silver and snow, hence the name.
Chen Jianghe didn't know much about the tea ceremony, nor was he particular about tea, but this Baihao Yinzhen was indeed a rare good tea. The light apricot yellow color of the tea soup was very pleasing to the eye, it tasted sweet and refreshing, and had a fragrant aroma. It was truly worthy of being called the beauty among teas.
However, compared to this fine tea that was worth savoring, what caught Chen Jianghe's eyes even more was Lin Siqi standing next to Lin Zheping.
The secretary was wearing a beige suit today. Her makeup was light but she looked very youthful and beautiful. Her hair was casually tied up with a beautiful butterfly ribbon. From her shoulders to her waist, every part of her body seemed beautiful. The beautiful legs slightly exposed under her skirt were white and tender and extremely charming. The pair of pink and white shoes on her feet also matched her very well. She looked like a lady from a noble family.
"Sure enough, good tea becomes more fragrant the more you taste it."
Chen Jianghe felt emotional. He could always find unexpected beauty in Lin Siqi when they were together day and night. This feeling was indescribable.
Lin Siqi obviously noticed the boss's gaze and a sweet smile appeared on her face. Her love for Chen Jianghe seemed to be written on her face, undisguised, sincere and warm.
Lin Zheping squinted his eyes, pretending not to see the eye contact between his daughter and Chen Jianghe. After taking a sip of tea, he smiled and said, "Fortunately, I listened to your advice at the beginning of the month and lowered the price to recover the funds. Otherwise, we would be in big trouble now."
"Oh?" Chen Jianghe's eyes flashed, and he quickly realized something: "Is there someone causing trouble inside the group?"
