Chapter 31: The Covenant of the Library
Li Zeyuan's work is getting busier and busier, although Zhao Xiaoting has been preparing for the wedding, she is really not busy, her sister-in-law has always been a vanguard, and she handles everything herself, Zhao Xiaoting's role is at most when her sister-in-law asks if she looks good or not, and when she disagrees, she just nods, so she often goes to HKU to audit some courses to make her life more fulfilling. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Since returning from Zhuhai, Zhao Xiaoting has been more considerate of Li Zeyuan's difficulties, and more often she acts as a listener or soothing person to regulate his emotions.
"You're going to Sanya tomorrow?" Zhao Xiaoting was still holding a book to read before going to bed, and suddenly heard Li Zeyuan mention to herself about tomorrow's business trip.
"Well, there is a project going on in Sanya, and it will take about three days to take a look." Li Zeyuan also lifted the quilt and went to bed.
"Okay, be careful!" Zhao Xiaoting doesn't care about his official affairs, and as the wedding date approaches, she is getting busier and busier.
"Do you want to go together?"
"Huh?" Zhao Xiaoting didn't react for a moment, seeing his serious expression, she thought about it seriously for a few seconds, and shook her head, "No, you go there to work, why should I go with it." I'll go back later when I have time. ”
Sending Li Zeyuan away, Zhao Xiaoting received a call from Yang Jian.
Zhao Xiaoting hurriedly hailed a taxi to the library of the University of Hong Kong, and Yang Jian said that he would be in the library all day, and if he had time, he could go there to find him. Yang Jian does not talk much, his attitude is modest, he is the same with students, never use the power status of the professor to force students to do anything, completely rely on personal charm to attract students to study and research well, the reputation among students is so good that it bursts, of course, in Zhao Xiaoting's opinion, Yang Jianneng has such a good reputation, his good skin is also a large part of the reason, who makes the vast majority of this Chinese department girls, it is when the love is open, the visual animal is very good!
When Zhao Xiaoting arrived at the library, it was already more than 3 o'clock in the afternoon, and she sent a text message to Yang Jian at the door of the library, asking him where he was on which floor. Probably because he read the book too seriously, and he didn't reply for a long time, Zhao Xiaoting went to the floor where Yang Jian usually goes, and it just so happened that he was also there this time to record something seriously. Yang Jian's habit is that he is not very interested in modern technology, mobile phones are still non-smart phones, mainly making calls and sending text messages, and other network software is rarely used, which is amazing.
In fact, Zhao Xiaoting can also understand, she has been using a flip domestic machine for four years in college, although smart phones and Apple machines have been popular among her classmates since her sophomore year, but she still insists on her original promise - this mobile phone will be used for four years in college! She really did it, and after graduating from college, she used her salary to buy a domestic smart phone. She has little interest in smartphones, because she still uses the most basic functions on her mobile phone, and the additional software is not commonly used.
Zhao Xiaoting sat down next to Yang Jian, she didn't bother him who was concentrating on reading, she also took out the books and notes in her bag, lowered her head and looked at them. The two of them read a book seriously, which made the students around them careless. Among them are Yang Jian's students, they were a little puzzled at the beginning when Zhao Xiaoting came to their class to audit, few rich wives do this, at least people will apply to become formal students, although they don't necessarily really want to study, but that academic certificate is still very important, but this Zhao Xiaoting is strange, she comes to class on time every day, but her identity is just an auditor, she listens to the class quietly, and if she has any questions, she will go to the professor to discuss it in class, and the homework is also completed on time, and she is more student than the student, and it seems that she really came to learn things, At first, everyone paid a lot of attention to her, but then she got used to it unconsciously. However, they can still see that Yang Jian takes great care of Zhao Xiaoting, or he admires Zhao Xiaoting very much, so they sometimes see the two of them walking side by side on the road and chatting on campus, which looks very right, but it is a pity that Zhao Xiaoting is married, and it is known all over the city.
"You say, does our professor have any selfish intentions for Zhao Xiaoting?" Several girls gossiped in whispers not far from them.
"No, the professor is just an elm head, and he doesn't care about anything but books." A chubby girl whispered.
"Just call you stupid. A stunning person like our professor, once you like someone, it will definitely be a lifetime thing. Another beautiful woman with long hair is right.
"Wow! It's romantic when you think about it, and I don't know what the professor likes! A short-haired girl imagined with a look.
"I think he should like like-minded women, just like that Zhao Xiaoting! Have you seen him get so close to a woman? The long-haired beauty and the old god were talking, and while talking, he secretly took a photo of them with his mobile phone, and looked at the faces of these two people, which matched them very well.
"Zhao Xiaoting's woman is a married woman, don't like her! Doomed to tragedy! The chubby girl wailed in a low voice, she didn't want Yang Jian to fall into an immoral love, which would make Professor Yang in her mind collapse and shatter into a pile of scum.
"What's this, if you get married, you can get divorced! In these years, if the wealthy family has never been divorced, they are embarrassed to say that they are in high society. The short-haired girl didn't care, there are too many such things in modern society, and she didn't think that the story of Zhao Xiaoting and Li Zeyuan, Cinderella, would always be beautiful.
Everyone muttered in a low voice, but Yang Jian and Zhao Xiaoting were unconscious, until the sky became dark and Zhao Xiaoting's stomach rebelled, she suddenly raised her head, looked at the people around her, and most of them left, probably went to eat. Looking at Yang Jian again, he was still looking at the book, and his movements and postures didn't seem to change. Zhao Xiaoting thought about it, but still gently pushed him: "Professor Yang, it's time for dinner!" ”
Yang Jiancai raised his head and saw Zhao Xiaoting beside him, a little surprised: "When did you come?" Why didn't I find out? ”
Zhao Xiaoting smiled: "It's been here a long time ago, and I didn't bother you when I saw that you were so serious." Now let's go to dinner together, it's getting dark! ”
"Well, I think I'm a little hungry too." Yang Jian said with a smile.
Neither of them went out to eat, but settled it in the school's small cafeteria. Zhao Xiaoting is not a person who never gets tired of eating, and she also likes the food in the school cafeteria, which reminds her of when she was in college before, in order to grab good food, several of their good friends are not in the same class, and the class time is often staggered.
Because Zhao Xiaoting didn't drive out, after dinner, Yang Jian drove her back. Originally, Zhao Xiaoting didn't want him to send it, it was quite far from here to the Li family's old house, she knew that Yang Jian's time was very precious, but Yang Jian insisted on sending her, saying that this was a gentleman's behavior, and if she let her go back by herself, he would not feel at ease.
Zhao Xiaoting couldn't resist him, so she had to sit in the car. Along the way, the topic of the two still revolved around those poems and songs. Sister-in-law and mother are watching TV, although the mother usually can't watch the sister-in-law, but there is nothing to be done about her, it is common for the two to spend time watching TV together, Zhao Xiaoting said hello to the two and went upstairs.
"I really don't understand, my husband just went on a business trip and came back so late, what is going on." Mom Zhang Bihua watched the TV in a strange voice, but everyone knew that she was talking about Zhao Xiaoting.
"Even husbands and wives have to have their own lives, stick together every day, it's not that you can't do anything!" The sister-in-law comforted Zhang Bihua in a friendly voice, and her eyes didn't look at Zhao Xiaoting.
Zhao Xiaoting lowered her head and walked upstairs slowly, her sister-in-law didn't think she was doing the right thing, but she just wanted to protect Li Zeyuan.
"Hmph, our family has never seen such a daughter-in-law for so many years! Although Qingqing doesn't live at home, she is also obediently teaching her husband and children at home, Meihua, we have taken care of this family for so many years, and we don't know what to think, so I don't care if my wife runs out every day. If it were my son's daughter-in-law, I would definitely punish him. Zhang Bihua's mouth kept stopping, her eyes glanced at Zhao Xiaoting, who had already walked upstairs, and couldn't help pouting, this third daughter-in-law, although she didn't care about family affairs, but she occupied a very important position in the hearts of the master and the third child, she didn't feel good in her heart, so she wanted to stab her with words.
This time the sister-in-law did not say anything, although she supported Zhao Xiaoting to have her own life, but in her concept is still the husband first, today Zhao Xiaoting sent the third child to the airport, she is still very happy, the young couple finally have time to exchange feelings, I didn't expect to receive a call from Zhao Xiaoting saying that she would not come back for dinner. What's more, there is some truth in my mother's words, the women in their family are all going to be virtuous helpers rather than careers, so it is the right way to put their husbands first.
