Duan Shu Xian lowered her eyes and pretended to be reading a book, but she was actually reflecting on his words. Did she really like rejecting people? No! She just felt that she shouldn"t disturb others.
"Sometimes, if you reject someone too much, it can hurt." The man"s voice had a hint of hurt in it, as if he was hurt now.
Duan Shu Xian was startled, she raised her head and looked at him, "Don"t misunderstand! I didn"t mean to hurt you, I just felt embarra.s.sed to disturb you. "
Xi Jingchen looked at her for a few seconds, "You didn"t disturb me, I don"t have any friends here, I hope to become friends with you."
With such a straightforward sentence, Shu Xian"s heart couldn"t help but begin to pound. She was flattered and asked, "You want to be friends with me?"
Xi Jingchen laughed, "You"re not willing?"
"No no, this is my honor. Of course I am willing to be your friend." Duan Shu Xian immediately smiled brightly.
"Even if you are a friend, can I send you home?" Xi Jingchen returned to his previous question.
Duan Shu Xian nodded, "Alright!" As long as it doesn"t trouble you, of course I"m grateful. "
"I"m very free." After Xi Jingchen finished speaking, he easily categorized the book in her hands into categories.
Not long later, the two of them arrived beside a tall bookshelf. Duan Shu Xian said, "I"ll go get the ladder."
Duan Shu Xian brought over a light ladder. As she climbed up, she said, "Just give me those books later."
However, the man reached out his hand to stop her. "Let me."
"No, it"s dangerous." Duan Shu Xian refused to let him go up.
"It"s because of the danger that I"m needed here." Xi Jingchen persisted, and teased again, "Or do you want me to hug you a third time?"
Duan Shu Xian"s face turned red as she thought about the first time she pressed him to the ground and the second time she fell into his embrace. It was a very intimate action.
"Then be careful." Duan Shu Xian gave him the ladder, but the man was clearly much more stable. Duan Shu Xian held the ladder for him, afraid that she would throw this handsome male teacher to the ground.
Finally, when the time was five o"clock, Xi Jingchen asked her, "What time are you off work?"
"I"m half past five."
"Alright, I"ll wait for you." Xi Jingchen said in a low voice as he took his book and walked to the other side of the reading stand.
When Duan Shu Xian returned to the counter to work, a few students came over to return the books. Auntie Huang beside her couldn"t help but whisper to her, "Little Duan! Does that male teacher like you!? "
Duan Shu Xian was immediately shocked, she anxiously looked towards Xi Jingchen"s direction and explained to Auntie Huang: "No, we are just friends."
"I think he likes you." Auntie Huang was very sure.
"No no, he just came to the school because he didn"t have any friends." Duan Shu Xian tried to find an excuse to persuade her.
This was because she wasn"t that confident. To be able to get this Teacher Xi to like her, he just lacked friends.
"Little Duan, you can do it!" That teacher is young and handsome, and looks like he has a good family background. Auntie Huang was a matchmaker who had done a lot.
Duan Shu Xian immediately pleaded in a low voice, "Auntie Huang, can you stop talking?"
If Teacher Xi heard it, it would be a joke.
Luckily, the Auntie Huang had matters to attend to and quickly left. Duan Shu Xian heaved a sigh of relief. Looking at the time, she hoped that it would pa.s.s quickly.
It was finally half past five. Duan Shu Xian packed her things and said to Auntie Li who was taking over, "Auntie Li, I"ll be leaving first."
"Good!" Go! "I"ve been tired all day. I"ll go back and rest." Auntie Li said to her.
Duan Shu Xian carried her small bag on her back as she walked to the man with the cup in her hand. "Teacher Xi, it"s time for me to get off work."
A few female students, who were sitting very close to Xi Jingchen, heard this and immediately raised their heads. They looked at Xi Jingchen in shock when they heard him.
"Good!" "Let"s go!" Xi Jingchen closed the book and stood up.
"Oh my G.o.d!" Does Teacher Xi like her? "
"Are they dating?"
"Isn"t that Professor Duan"s daughter?"
"So they"re a pair!"
The female student was shocked, her voice became even louder, causing Duan Shu Xian, who was standing at the side, to be able to hear every single word that was said by her, and Xi Jingchen as well.
Duan Shu Xian was immediately embarra.s.sed. She explained to the group of female cla.s.smates, "We"re just friends."
"Elder sister, you and Teacher Xi are very compatible!" A female cla.s.smate giggled at her.
Xi Jingchen"s gaze fell on this female cla.s.smate"s face, and there seemed to be a smile flickering in the depths of his eyes.
Duan Shu Xian immediately smiled with a flushed face. "Goodbye." With that, she walked to the door first, with Xi Jingchen following behind her.
The female students behind him still believed in one thing, Teacher Xi and Duan Shu Xian had a show to play. Although Duan Shu Xian was only an administrator at the moment, her father was also an old professor who held great prestige! The family background of the Beautiful Book Sect was compatible with the Teacher Xi.
Duan Shu Xian stood at the door and waited for Xi Jingchen to get closer. She then explained jokingly, "Don"t take the words of the students just now to heart. They just misunderstood."
Xi Jingchen smiled, "If it"s a misunderstanding, then it"s a misunderstanding!"
Duan Shu Xian"s head buzzed twice. What did this mean? What do you mean by misunderstanding? Could it be that he didn"t care about others misunderstanding him this way?
Sigh, he had fainted! It was hard to understand what he meant.
"My car is over there." Xi Jingchen pointed at the direction of the car park.
At this moment, a few bodyguards in plain clothes walked out from the surrounding student groups. They were surprised to find that their young master was accompanied by a girl.
Xi Jingchen secretly signaled his bodyguards not to go near as he did not want his ident.i.ty to be exposed.
Duan Shu Xian walked to the side of his car. She opened the door and got in, only to discover that although the car seemed low key, it was very solid and steady, as if it was a few grades heavier than her father"s car.
Xi Jingchen"s car was a high cla.s.s modified car, it only used the external appearance of a normal car and the car logo, but everything inside the car was installed according to the top-tier protection system, and was able to withstand special bulletproof effects.
Duan Shu Xian explained the location of the house to Xi Jingchen. Xi Jingchen entered the navigation system and drove out of the school gates.
Duan Shu Xian asked curiously, "Teacher Xi, is your home far away?"
"It"s quite far." Xi Jingchen replied with a smile.
At this moment, Duan Shu Xian"s phone rang. She picked it up and saw that it was her mother calling. She said to him, "I"ll pick up the phone."
Xi Jingchen nodded his head, "En! Answer it! "
"Hey!" "Mom." Duan Shu Xian picked up.
"Shu Xian!" I have gathered a few good sisters tonight, would you like to come over for dinner? "
"Mom, I won"t be going over. I"ll go home and eat whatever I want."
"That"s fine too. Just don"t get hungry."
"Of course I"m not hungry, go have fun! Get Dad to take you home early. "
"Got it, I got in touch with him." With that, Li Yu hung up.
This was great, she was eating dinner alone, she suddenly turned to the man beside her and said, "Teacher Xi, let me treat you to dinner!"
Xi Jingchen"s eyes flashed slightly. To him, an ordinary meal was something that he had to consider.
"Do you have an appointment?" Duan Shu Xian asked as she saw him considering.
Xi Jingchen smiled, "Sure! Where do you want me to eat? "
"What do you want to eat?" Duan Shu Xian asked happily, she didn"t expect him to agree.
"Yes, that"s fine." Xi Jingchen raised his brows slightly.
Duan Shu Xian also knew that for a person like him to be invited to dinner, it would be best to go to a more elegant environment. She thought of a good western restaurant near her home and asked, "How about going to eat western cuisine?"
"Sure." Xi Jingchen nodded.
"There"s a pretty good one near my house, let"s go there!" Duan Shu Xian arranged the dishes accordingly, because it was an elegant and quiet restaurant.
"Alright, lead the way!" Xi Jingchen looked at her.
Near his home, Duan Shu Xian kept her eyes closed as she pointed to the road with absolute clarity. The car stopped in a parking lot, and after stopping, the other four cars hurriedly stopped as well.
Xi Jingchen said to Duan Shu Xian, "I"m going to make a call, wait a moment."
"Alright, I"ll wait for you at the door." Duan Shu Xian also did not want to eavesdrop on his phone call.
Xi Jingchen picked up his phone and dialed a number. The man who just got off the car called.
He glanced at it and immediately picked it up. "h.e.l.lo, Young Master."
But ten metres away, Xi Jingchen also used his phone to talk.
"I"m going to accompany this lady into the dining room. You guys be careful to stay hidden and not reveal my ident.i.ty."
"Master, your ident.i.ty is not suitable for ordinary people to come to this kind of place." The eyes of the Chief Bodyguard looked over worriedly.
