Her
Translator: Henyee Translations l Editor: Henyee Translations
Xi Jiangmao’s resignation was like a stone entering the sea in Hui University. It didn’t cause any waves.
Only a few people in the know knew why this respected teacher, who was about to retire, had left his position.
Murong Qiao’s thesis naturally pa.s.sed smoothly. Moreover, it became the most outstanding thesis and was credited to a part of Murong Qiao’s ranking.
After learning that Xi Jiangmao had resigned, the gentle smile on Jiang
Wenxu’s face did not show any signs of cracking, and his tone did not fluctuate
at all.
“Alright, I understand.” He first ended the call and then deleted the call record.
He was so cautious that he didn’t leave any traces.
Looking at the open door of the living room, Jiang Wenxu’s mind was still replaying his Little Sister’s disappointed back view.
He pursed his lips, his expression gloomy under the light.
Jiang Weiyang didn’t go home that night. She said that she was staying with a friend.
However, Jiang Wenxu knew that she was aggrieved and angry. But, due to the warning given by Murong Chuan, Jiang Wenxu, who had always doted on his Little Sister, also hardened his temper. This time, he didn’t let Jiang Weiyang have her way.
There was always a limit to how much he could dote on Jiang Weiyang. The premise was that the Jiang family was still around.
The sky gradually turned dark, and the beautiful clouds dyed by the setting sun were also dyed orange like fire.
The blackness was so dense that it made one’s heart sink easily. They subconsciously weakened their emotions.
After Murong Qiao came out of the office, she slowly walked to the school gate.
After thinking about it a thousand times, she finally sighed.
After all, the thesis was handed to her Third Brother and there wouldn’t be any problems.
The surrounding students walked past Murong Qiao in groups of twos and threes, chatting and laughing. Seeing their lively appearance, Murong Qiao curled her lips and subconsciously wanted to turn around.
However, when she turned around and smiled at her side, it was empty.
The words she wanted to share suddenly stopped in her throat. Murong Qiao stopped in her tracks and looked at the empty ground beside her. There were only a few leaves left. The corners of her mouth that were originally raised gradually receded, and she pursed them into a straight line, drawing out small dimples.
The person she wanted to share it with wasn’t by her side at this moment.
She almost forgot that Huo Yichen’s focus was no longer on school.
As long as she thought about it slightly, the serious look on Huo Yichen’s face appeared in Murong Qiao’s mind
She should be happy for the other party at this point.
However, looking at the surrounding students walking together, Murong Qiao
still felt a little lonely.
Murong Qiao stood rooted to the ground for a while. After sorting out her thoughts, she took another step.
She lowered her head and walked forward. Just as she was about to take out her phone to hail a taxi, she was forced to stop and her path was blocked by a pair of feet.
“Aren’t you afraid of b.u.mping into people when you walk with your head lowered?” A familiar voice sounded.
Murong Qiao was stunned. Her sense of smell also gave an answer in the next second.
The intoxicating pine fragrance drifted over from the distance between the two of them. The moment she smelled it, her hands couldn’t help but wrap around the other party’s lean waist.
Huo Yichen hugged Murong Qiao back in surprise. He lowered his head and raised his eyebrows, only to see a furry head.
“Why do I feel like you’re not very happy to see me?” he teased.
Huo Yichen reached out and rubbed Murong Qiao’s head. Just like the two of them usually did in school, his familiar actions pulled back Murong Qiao’s memories and dispelled her loneliness.
Murong Qiao hugged him for a while before slowly looking up at him. “No.”
She just suddenly missed him very much and…
Then, the person she missed appeared in front of her.
The corners of Murong Qiao’s mouth subconsciously curled up, and even her eyes curved. There was a faint light in her eyes, and her eyebrows rose with her mood.
The sky didn’t seem to be dark anymore. Even the stars appeared and outlined the curtain again, becoming beautiful and gorgeous.
“No?” Huo Yichen repeated.
He looked at Murong Qiao’s expression. It was not that he didn’t believe the other party, but he could indeed tell that Murong Qiao was unhappy.
Just like Murong Chuan, Huo Yichen was even more sensitive to Murong Qiao’s mood.
Huo Yichen lowered his tone patiently. “Then why?
“It’s about my thesis.” Murong Qiao didn’t think there was anything to hide.
She had handed it all over to her Third Brother. Under Huo Yichen’s questioning, she only briefly described the entire matter and told him everything.
Huo Yichen held her hand and opened the pa.s.senger door, not forgetting to shield her head.
When Murong Qiao entered the car, she realized that Huo Yichen was sitting in the driver’s seat.
-Aren’t you the President now? Why didn’t you get a chauffeur?” She joked.
Huo Yichen helped her buckle her seatbelt. When he leaned over, he couldn’t help but lean closer. The hot air he exhaled when he spoke hit Murong Qiao s earlobe.
“I don’t want to be interrupted on a date. There’s no need for an additional third wheel.”
When Huo Yichen left the company, Ye Zhen immediately wanted to help drive as a chauffeur, but Huo Yichen didn’t let him.
Murong Qiao glared at him and secretly covered her ears with her hand to stop the ticklish feeling on her waist. Before she could answer, she saw Huo Yichen take out a cup of fruit tea from the back seat like a magic trick.
The fruit tea was stuffed into Murong Qiao’s hand. There was still some unmelted ice floating on it, making it look like a dream against the pink water. Murong Qiao inserted a straw and took a sip. “Peach oolong tea? It tastes quite good.”
The cold liquid slid down her throat, and there was still a sweet taste in her mouth. She couldn’t help but feel much better.
“As long as you like it.” Huo Yichen started the car.
Actually, he originally wanted to bring a cup of milk tea, but he thought about how Murong Qiao occasionally said that she was fat, so he changed it to fruit tea.
Of course, he didn’t think that Murong Qiao was really fat. He liked her no matter what.
Huo Yichen didn’t forget why he was here today. “Is there anywhere you want to go later?”
-You clearly have a plan. Why are you asking me?” Murong Qiao pouted and took another sip of fruit tea.
He must have waited at the school gate long ago. Everything was definitely arranged beforehand.
Huo Yichen chuckled. “How about… going to the night street at this time?”
He asked Murong Qiao for her opinion as the car stopped at the red light.
There was naturally a plan, but seeing that Murong Qiao was unhappy, the date was no longer important. Huo Yichen just wanted to make her happy.
Thinking of the strategies Ye Zhen had made with the risk of almost going bald, Huo Yichen threw them all to the back of his mind and casually mentioned a bustling place.
“The night street? I heard Yang Xin and the others mention it before.” Murong Qiao came to a realization.
Night Street was the busiest pedestrian street in the city at night. It had been prosperous since a long time ago and could be considered the first choice for shopping or exploring. Therefore, everyone called it Night Street.
Murong Qiao reached out and hooked Huo Yichen’s palm. “I’ll listen to you. 1 don’t have any plans for tonight.”
It was not easy for them to meet, so it was actually good to be intimate with each other. She looked at Huo Yichen’s side profile with a smile. At this moment, she was in the best mood in the past few days.
The night street was open from 7 p.m. to 4 a.m. the time when the young people were most enthusiastic.
It was also Jiang Weiyang’s favorite time to go out.
However, she was not in the mood today. She lay on the soft bed and stared at the ceiling in a daze, thinking about something.
“Hey, hey, hey, why do you look like you’ve fallen out of love? What’s wrong, Miss Jiang?” The person beside her poked her.
Usually, she provoked everyone. This was the first time she had seen Jiang Weiyang so down..
