I ran into him again
At the same time, Old Man Duan also asked about the matters regarding the two eldest grandson. The others could clearly see the pride unintentionally expressed in his eyes. Duan Shu Xian really wanted to become someone that her grandfather could be proud of. He really wanted to do it. Every time he heard her grandfather praise his cousin and elder cousin, she would feel a sense of loss, but she would not show it. Every time she would smile like she was a person who didn"t know anything …
Child. On the way home from the house, the atmosphere in the carriage was very quiet.
Duan Deming sighed and said to his daughter who was sitting in the backseat, "Shu Xian, do you still remember the words that dad said to you before?"
"Dad, I remember." Duan Shu Xian smiled.
"It"s good that you remember. Our family is different from uncle"s." Duan Deming repeated every single time, worried that his daughter"s jealousy would cause her heart to be affected.
Seated in the back seat, Li Yu wrapped her arms around Duan Shu Xian and said gently, "Shu Xian, your father and I feel that being normal and ordinary is also good fortune. We don"t have any ambitions, and we don"t hope for benefits.
"Dad, Mom, don"t worry! Your daughter knows all about it. " Duan Shu Xian also knew that her parents couldn"t give her a better future, and she wouldn"t blame them for that. Thus, she accepted everything in peace.
"Actually, your father also had the chance to become someone like your uncle back then. However, your father gave up on meeting me. He returned home and became a free university teacher." Li Yu said that she was very happy.
Duan Shu Xian had always been a person who grew up under the care and care of her parents, so she had a very healthy heart and she accepted her ordinary fate.
Everyone had their gains and losses. She believed that if she could get some, she would lose some. She was happy to be able to accompany her parents every day.
In Pavilion Lord Manor, it was currently just past dinner. Chu Yue washed a plate of fruits and entered a study on the third floor. She looked at her son who was currently reading under the lamp.
"Jing Chen, eat some fruits!" Chu Yue put it down and sat on the sofa beside him, looking at him, "Jing Chen, actually, Dad and I have discussed this before. If you want a seat, he can enter it anytime you want."
Of course, Xi Jingchen knew his mother"s worry and also knew of his future mission. However, he did not want to accept all of this before his father had abdicated his position. He had stayed in the army for so many years, he needed a position to help him learn.
"Mom, I"ve decided to stay in college for two years. You and Dad don"t have to worry too much about me." Xi Jingchen consoled her. How could Chu Yue not be worried! However, she had also learned to let go of her son. He had been sent to the army at such a young age and had been separated from her for so many years. Now, his son was truly outstanding.
There was no problem with his position.
"Alright, I don"t care about that. However, I only have one request. You must have someone by your side. Don"t take your own safety too seriously."
"Good!" "I accept." After Xi Jingchen finished speaking, he reached out to grab a cherry and placed it in his mother"s hands. "Mom, don"t worry, your son has grown up.
Chu Yue looked at him, and snappily smiled, "In my heart, you will always be a child."
Xi Jingchen chuckled, "Yes, yes. I"ll never grow up in your heart."
After saying that, Chu Yue couldn"t help but hold his hand and look around, then asked, "The wound on this hand, did it really save a girl"s life? Didn"t someone intentionally scratch you? "
Xi Jingchen nodded his head, "Yes, it"s one of the staff in the library. She accidentally fell down the ladder and I happened to be by her side.
When Chu Yue heard that he was injured on the first day, she was really relieved.
"Be careful in the future. Your status is too important."
"Mom, believe me. No matter what, I came from the military. I"m not any weaker than you were back then!" Xi Jingchen squinted his eyes as he replied confidently.
Chu Yue immediately laughed while glaring at him, "Your mom can"t beat you now."
"I"ll protect you in the future." Xi Jingchen said as he held her shoulders.
Hearing these words, Chu Yue"s heart was filled with enjoyment. She got up and warned, "Don"t be busy too late, rest early."
"En!" Xi Jingchen replied with a smile. In the blink of an eye, a week had pa.s.sed. Duan Shu Xian"s work in the library had gone smoothly. However, she didn"t see that young professor come back to borrow books again. Instead, she heard news from the female students that he was going to give his his first lesson.
More than half of the students were female. Those who were unable to enter the cla.s.sroom were complaining.
However, this teacher only taught two cla.s.ses a week, so most of the girls were dissatisfied and wanted to increase the duration of the cla.s.ses.
Every time Duan Shu Xian heard this news, she would always imagine the elegance of that young professor, and imagine being able to attend his cla.s.s, it was truly a blessing! She really wanted to sneak in and listen to all of them.
Just as she was thinking, Duan Shu Xian saw someone walk in. She subconsciously looked up, and when she did, her heart was beating rapidly. It was him!
That young professor came in with a few books. It was unknown if the sunlight outside the window was too glaring, or if the light s.h.i.+ning from this man was too dazzling, to the point that Duan Shu Xian didn"t dare to look directly at him.
She didn"t know why, but she kept the items on the table nervously.
"I"ll return the book." A low, charming voice came from above her head.
Duan Shu Xian immediately raised her head and touched her eyes, which were filled with a deep smile. She then smiled, "Oh! "Just a moment."
Duan Shu Xian was at the side typing on the computer, there were a few mistakes, and then typing again, Xi Jingchen said to her, "You haven"t fallen down recently right?!"
Duan Shu Xian knew that he was referring to her climbing the ladder, so she hurriedly smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern, I was extremely careful, how is your hand?"
"Alright." Xi Jingchen took a look at the injured area for her to see.
A scab had already formed over there, but Duan Shu Xian still felt very apologetic. "I really have to thank you for last time. I don"t know how to repay you."
"No need to thank me. Helping others makes me happy!" When Xi Jingchen saw that she had finished, he took the book and returned it to her.
"Teacher Xi, leave it here! I"ll return it. " Duan Shu Xian immediately called out to him.
"I"ll help you." Xi Jingchen waved the book in his hand, and walked towards the bookshelves he was looking for.
At this moment, a few female students rushed in and crowded together in front of the counter like a group of maniacs. They stared at the man who entered the bookshelves, afraid that they would miss him.
"Sister, let"s borrow some books." After one of the female students finished speaking, a few female students immediately rushed in.
Duan Shu Xian looked at them as though they were not here to borrow books! It was obviously directed at that handsome professor.
Sure enough, those female students were all looking for an opportunity to lean over the bookshelf and peek at that handsome and attractive figure.
From her position, Duan Shu Xian happened to see her female cla.s.smates acting like demons. One of them took a book and boldly went over to ask for his advice.
Xi Jingchen did not reject, and instead patiently and gently replied to her questions. Beside that female cla.s.smate, a group of female cla.s.smates immediately gathered around. They were all staring at the man"s face with infatuation!
Duan Shu Xian held her chin as she looked at the group of female cla.s.smates speechlessly. What were they trying to do!? Xi Jingchen took a few books and headed towards the counter, but right at that moment, a female cla.s.smate"s legs immediately went weak, and was about to fall into Xi Jingchen"s embrace. Xi Jingchen reached out his hand naturally to support her, but he did not let her fall into his embrace.
After a flash, he formally said, "Student, a student should act like a student. If you are here to learn, you can ask me. However, if you have other intentions, you shouldn"t waste your time."
There was a hint of warning in those words.
The group of female students immediately jumped in fright and quickly scattered in one breath. Duan Shu Xian heard it and giggled while covering her mouth.
"What are you laughing at?" Suddenly, a man"s voice was heard.
Duan Shu Xian immediately raised her head in panic. Before the smile in her eyes could fade, her eyes met the man"s complicated gaze. I... I"m not laughing at anything! " Duan Shu Xian stammered in reb.u.t.tal. She didn"t expect him to have such an imposing manner when he was educating her!
