“tomorrow?”

” i’ll be accompanying the professor to the fu family’s house tomorrow morning. i’ll treat you to dinner tonight, and thank you for taking care of xu xin for me all these days. ” xu jiamu had been busy with his dissertation recently, so he didn’t have time to care about his brother.

“that’s fine.” duan linbai stammered, ” you weren’t angry just now, were you? ”

“what?”

” my dear wife-yingluo. ” someone’s voice suddenly sounded a little shy, which made xu jiamu embarrassed.

“no, i’ll hang up first. i’m going to the hotel. i still have to buy drinks and wine with the class monitor.”

“if there’s anything you need, you can find me anytime.”

duan linbai hung up the phone. his mood was so good that he almost flew up.

when he entered the meeting room, he briefly summarized the situation and everyone dispersed.

” little boss, this is the summary of the meeting when you weren’t out. ” xiaojiang handed over his notebook.

“i’ll have to trouble you.” duan linbai took the record and casually glanced through it. ” you know that we’re still in our honeymoon phase, so she’s a little clingy. ”

xiaojiang’s mouth twitched. ”

if i didn’t know the truth, i would have believed your nonsense. between the two of you, who is more clingy?

however, duan linbai was still looking forward to meeting xu jiamu the next day. when he got home that day, he even dragged xu jing out for a bath and a sauna, saying that he wanted to get rid of her toxins and beautify her.

after returning home, xu xin was dumbfounded when she saw him touching his facial mask.

this man …

she might even be more exquisite than his sister!

the next day, at the fu family mansion.

xu jiamu had accompanied the professor to the fu residence to check on old madam fu’s eyes at fu chen’s invitation. however, when they arrived, fu chen was at the company. other than the two elders, only sun qionghua and song fengwan were at home.

when they arrived at the courtyard, xu jiamu’s heart was palpitating. after all, the people living here were all on the news every day. she was just an ordinary student, and she would be nervous when she saw the dean, let alone someone at master fu’s level.

however, when she arrived at the yard, she saw master fu smoking a water pipe and sighing on a wicker chair. he looked no different from an ordinary old man.

“you’re here. come in and have a seat. fu chen didn’t tell us until he made the arrangements. we’ve troubled you to come.” master fu called the two in, and couldn’t help but take a few more glances at xu jiamu.

“my student.”

“yes.”

after entering the house, he quickly checked the old lady’s eyes.

“what’s wrong with her eyes? she’s been saying that she’s feeling uncomfortable, her vision is blurry, and her eyes are dry. even some eye drops are useless.” master fu sat on the side, looking concerned.

” her pupils are a little deformed, which is also a side effect of the artificial crystal. however, it’s not a big problem. the capital has been too dry in recent years, so it’s normal for her eyes to feel a little uncomfortable. ” the professor said.

“deformed pupils?” sun qionghua frowned. ” what should we do? ”

” rest well and protect your eyes. ”

it was mainly because people were getting older, and all the functions of the body were deteriorating. moreover, his eyes had already undergone surgery, so it was not suitable for him to do it again. he could only try his best to protect them.

the old lady knew this in her heart, so she would listen to whatever he said. at her age, she had already let go of everything.

” i have some artificial tears that i brought back from abroad. the medicine is more soothing. i’ll get my student to send some over later. when you’re not feeling well, drip some of it. it’ll make you feel much better. ”

“how can i trouble you to bring it here? i’ll go get it.” sun qionghua said with a smile.

“i’ll go. i’m fine anyway.” song fengwan, who had been silent all this while, said, ” don’t you still have to cook? since i’m free, i can send the professor back. ”

it wasn’t a big deal to just get some medicine, so sun qionghua nodded in agreement. before she left, she gave the professor and xu jiamu some gifts.

“you’re too polite.” the professor quickly declined.

“this is a gift from someone else. we have a lot of loquats at home and can’t finish them all. this is good for your throat. you’ve been teaching all day and you need this more. it’s not worth much, so don’t stand on ceremony.”

after several rejections, the professor still took the loquats.

sun qionghua stuffed another bag into xu jiamu’s hands. she was embarrassed, but song feng was there too late, so he stuffed it into her hands.

*

on the way back to the university of medicine, qian jiang drove, song fengwan sat in the front passenger seat, and the professor and xu jiamu sat in the back.

“you have to eat the loquats quickly. they’re already ripened and very sweet.” song fengwan urged.

she had been craving loquats recently and had eaten quite a lot at the fu residence. besides, there were loquats in the qiao family’s courtyard and they were already ripe. if it wasn’t for the inconvenience of shipping them by mail, song fengwan would have been full of loquats.

“actually, i haven’t eaten loquats yet.” xu jiamu whispered.

this thing was not a fruit from the north, and it was rarely sold in their place. even if she saw it in the capital, it was not cheap, so she was naturally reluctant to buy it.

song fengwan pursed her lips and didn’t say anything.

they had met for dinner a few days ago, and when they were on their way back, fu chen had briefly talked to her about xu jiamu’s family. he didn’t go into detail, but according to his understanding, her parents valued men over women, so she probably didn’t have a good time at home.

she suddenly thought of her father. it was not that he valued men over women, but he would betray anyone for profit …

as her thoughts ran wild, the car had already arrived at the university of medicine. song fengwan took the artificial tear, and xu jiamu sent her out.

“are you going back to the dormitory now?” song fengwan sized her up. after all, she was duan linbai’s girlfriend. the two of them had chatted in the group before, but they were still a little distant.

“yes.”

” i’ll give you a ride then. there’s a car anyway. it’s so hot, you’ll probably be sweating by the time you walk back. ” it was already close to noon, the time when the sun was scorching. ” let’s go. don’t be polite. ”

song fengwan knew very well that university dorms were usually quite a distance away from the teaching area.

“thank you. sorry for the trouble.” xu jiamu wasn’t familiar with her, so he spoke very politely.

the two of them didn’t say much after they got into the car. song fengwan only saw her off when they reached the dormitory building.

“you don’t need to come down, i’m already here.” xu jiamu was still carrying the fu family’s gift in her hands, and was already feeling very apologetic. she was helping the professor carry his things, but she had taken his things for nothing.

” it’s nothing. when are you graduating? it’s actually quite close to our school. let’s have a meal together when you’re free. i’m at beijing university. ”

“sure.” xu jiamu nodded. ” then i’ll go in first, thank you. ”

song fengwan pursed her lips and smiled as she watched her walk in.

before xu jiamu reached the apartment entrance, he lowered his head and rummaged through his bag for an access card. just then, a man rushed out from the side, followed by a woman.

xu jing was following behind them, as if she wanted to talk to them.

“xu jiamu!”

the two of them were hiding in the shade, but even so, their faces were red from the heat. the man’s clothes were half wet and stuck to his body, not allowing the wind to blow through.

the man’s voice was rough and exuded the unique heat of this weather!

song fengwan had not gotten into the car yet. as the road in front of the dormitory building was closed, qian jiang drove the car to the front and adjusted the front of the car. she was texting fu chen, telling him that they would be back to the old residence soon.

when she heard the man’s voice, she subconsciously looked up.

“dad, mom?” xu jiamu said.

immediately after, a clear slap was heard.

xu jiamu’s hand trembled, and the loquats he was holding fell to the ground. they rolled on the ground, and one of them even rolled to song fengwan’s feet.
