âIm... Impressive!â Jiang Yuning muttered, giving a thumbs up.
He still could not make sense of what had just taken place. He also could not wrap his mind around how she had managed to chase away so many of his students. Everyone now viewed her as his wife.
Jiang Yuning felt oddly shy.
âSo you think Iâm not making any sense?â Nian Xi crossed her arms in front of her chest, looking justified and self-righteous. âI may seem like Iâm jealous, but... Iâm actually correcting the inappropriate conduct in your class. Donât you normally notice this at all?â
Jiang Yuning scratched his head with a baffled expression on his face.
Nian Xi found him to be rather slow-witted, and she gave him a look before continuing, âMany of your students didnât care about the answer to their questions at all. They merely wanted to get close to you and listen to you speaking because youâre so good-looking.â
âI see...â The realization finally hit Jiang Yuning. âI didnât know.â
âThatâs because youâre too innocent, and you wouldnât think too much about it!â Nian Xi sighed. âLet me ask you. What do you think of the questions asked by the students who came to consult you after your lecture today?â
âThe questions seemed more meaningful, and some of them were extremely specific.â Jiang Yuning suddenly became happier. âI like answering them.â
âExactly! After all, youâre a Physics professor and not a celebrity. If you canât impart your knowledge to those who truly need it, then your lessons are wasted!â Nian Xi said with a sigh. âBecause of that, Iâm willing to play the villain for the sake of those students. I merely hope to groom more scientists, and I donât care how others will think of me.â
âXixi, youâre so noble.â Jiang Yuning was full of admiration for her.
âDonât mention it,â Nian Xi said as she waved her hands. âThis is my responsibility as a cop.â
âXixi, youâre seriously the greatest cop Iâve ever seen.â Jiang Yuning adored her dearly right now, and he felt lucky to be liked by her. âXixi, I genuinely thought that you were jealous, and I even felt a little gleeful because of that.â
He felt very proud that his woman had become so fierce for his sake.
âWhy would I be jealous? Iâm proud of you,â Nian Xi replied as she abruptly turned to look at him with an unusually serious expression.
Her gaze made Jiang Yuningâs heart soften, and he felt as if he was bursting with joy.
...
Jiang Yuning ordered quite a few side dishes when they ate in the canteen, and he kept piling food onto Nian Xiâs plate. âXixi, you should eat more. The chicken feet are good!â
âMy hands are tired. Feed me,â Nian Xi said lazily.
âSure.â Jiang Yuning began to feed her obediently.
Some of the students seated around them began to whisper to one another.
âWow, who is she? Professor Jiangâs so nice to her.â
âHey, keep your volume down! I heard that this woman flew into a rage in Professor Jiangâs lecture just now. Sheâs the jealous type, and she looks so fierce!â
âAre you serious? How fierce can she be when sheâs crippled? Professor Jiangâs taste in women is so strange. Did his mind get all muddled up by the research that heâs fiddling with every day?â
The couple stayed silent for a while.
Nian Xi then looked at Jiang Yuning with a calm expression. âSee? Sometimes, itâs tough being the good guy.â
Jiang Yuning frowned. All of a sudden, he stood up and turned to face the girls who were gossiping away. He then said, âLet me warn all of you. You better be polite to my fiancée. Sheâs not crippled. Her leg is only temporarily injured, but Iâll still like her even if she walks with a limp forever. Besides, what has this got to do with you guys? How can you badmouth your professor and his fiancée so casually?â
