Chapter 396 - Buying a Durian
Hello Mr. King
âI promised to go to your schoolâs medical school to conduct a class in person,â said Song Mian faintly.
Yun Xiangxiang was speechless.
Nice try. Are you sure this is a compensation instead of taking advantage of the situation?
âI will never attend your class!â There was no way of tricking her.
âIt doesnât matter. Iâll just go and find you.â Song Mian smiled lightly.
The door sound made Yun Xiangxiang sit down immediately, glaring coldly at Song Mian. She did not want to trouble Hou Chengjue, so she pretended that she and Song Mian had similar interests, and they were chatting familiarly.
From the Film Festival to Hou Chengjueâs home, to being at her school to give lectures, Song Mian was misleading the incident step by step to make everyone feel their love was traceable.
She was a bit afraid if Song Mian would do anything earth-shattering when he goes to conduct his lecture.
âTeacher Hou, I heard just now that Professor Song is going to give lectures at our school. I wonder when it will be?â Please let it be October or later.
Hou Chengjue thought that she was finally interested in Song Mian, and he was feeling happy, âLittle Song is a busy person, it is rare for him to take a leave. I already discussed it with the school. It just happens that the medical school has no classes on Friday afternoon, so itâs set for this Friday.â
Confronting Song Mianâs smiling eyes, she could only secretly grit her teeth. She took advantage of the table, concealing it, and stretched out her feet to kick him from under the table while replying, âWhat a pity, my Friday afternoon is packed with classes. I wonât be able to see Professor Songâs demeanor.â
âIf you wish to go, you just have to ask for a leave.â If it were any other student, Hou Chengjue would not say this. However, taking leave has become a common occurrence for Yun Xiangxiang. It did not matter if she delayed a few months, let alone an afternoon.
âIâm not a student in the medical sector. Every minute is precious for such a talented person as Professor Song. Itâs better if I donât go and occupy a place in the name list.â Yun Xiangxiang rejected with rationale.
Hou Chengjue thought for a while and nodded. The schoolâs multimedia room could accommodate several classes of students, but there might be freshmen and students of other grades as well. There would not be enough space.
âXiangxiang is just such a considerate girl.â Hou Chengjue praised Xiangxiang again to Song Mian.
âItâs time for dinner.â Fu Min brought out the soup at this time, and Yun Xiangxiang immediately got up and went to the kitchen to help.
Hou Chengjue and Song Mian also helped bring out the dishes, arrange cutlery, and serve rice...
Fu Minâs cooking was delicious. Although Yun Xiangxiang was taken care of by Song Mian every day, it was inevitable that her appetite would increase when she tries new delicacies.
After the meal, Yun Xiangxiang wanted to help Fu Min clean the dishes. This time Fu min did not refuse. Instead, when they were washing dishes, she told Yun Xiangxiang with her heart, âYou are a smart child, you understand the intentions of your teacher and I. Song Mian is a good man. Your teacher and I guarantee that with our personalities.
We are also worried that you will be bullied in this circle. The Song Family has a good background. He set his mind on you. In the past, we could not find him easily. Now he would contact Old Hou from time to time. He has his mind on you.
We donât intend to force you. We are just providing you with an opportunity to get to know each other. It depends on you whether this happens or not. However, donât be shy to refuse him just because of your teacher and me.
Song Mian might be a child from a wealthy family, but he has none of those problems. If you donât like him, he wonât force or keep pestering you.â
Fu Min struggled for a long time as well since Yun Xiangxiang was still a little younger, after all. If Yun Xiangxiang were fully dedicated to academia, Fu Min would not have agreed to be a matchmaker so early on.
Even if Song Mian were not young, she would have waited until Yun Xiangxiang had graduated. If Yun Xiangxiang had not solved her problems by then, she would help Song Mian.
However, even though Yun Xiangxiang was younger, she had already started to be in contact with society. She was even in the most complicated circle.
Yun Xiangxiang was an opinionated girl with a mind of her own. Fu Min agreed after discussing with Hou Chengjue.
âThank you, madam.â Yun Xiangxiang moved to hug Fu Min, âYou are as warm as my mother.â
Fu Min smiled kindly and asked, âWhat do you think of Little Song?â
Yun Xiangxiang was still a little shy, âHe... He is outstanding.â
No one knew better than she did of how good he was.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âIf you think that heâs not bad, you can try to date him. There are not many good men. If youâve met one, you have to try out first to see if heâs what you want. You can separate if you feel that he is not suited for you, then you wonât have any regrets.â Fu Min exhorted.
âMadam, are you this open to Sister Wanjun as well?â Yun Xiangxiang couldnât help being curious.
âI wish to be this open, but she wonât give me the chance.â Fu Min looked sad when she mentioned her daughter.
Hou Wanjun was the only daughter of her and her husband. She and Hou Chenjue were both high ranking intellectuals from well established scholarly families.
It just happened that she gave birth to a fake girl with a mess of grades. At seventeen, she went to the military academy without telling her family. She almost angered her father to the point of a heart attack.
They were not trying to force their child to take that path, but how difficult it was for a girl to be in a military school. They were not literary soldiers. The more infuriating part was that their child did not trust them and only notified them after she took the examinations.
After graduating from the military academy, she entered the military profession. It was difficult even to see her. She had never dated even when she was twenty-six.
âGood things are worth the wait. You donât have to worry. Sister Wanjun is brave and easygoing. She will definitely find happiness.â Yun Xiangxiang could only comfort her this way.
âThe younger generation will be alright on their own. I am old and do not have the energy to control her. Besides, it is a new era. I canât use the old way of thinking.â Fu Min was a person in the education department. Of course, she had a better understanding of her daughter than anyone else.
Yun Xiangxiang chatted with Fu Min for a while, then went out and the four of them chatted for a while. It was around eight-thirty in the evening when she stood up to leave.
âI wonât be sending you off. I donât feel safe that I let you go home alone. Donât call your assistant. Let Little Song send you home.â Hou Chengjue sent them off to the underground parking lot at Song Mianâs car.
âDonât worry, Teacher Hou. I promise that Iâll complete the task.â Song Mian promised.
Yun Xiangxiang smiled shyly and sat into the passenger seat and waved goodbye to the husband and wife.
âIf you dare ever to act first and tell me later like this, youâll see how I deal with you!â Yun Xiangxiang gritted her teeth and said to Song Mian after they left the complex.
Song Mian drove his car but replied with an ambiguous smile and a playful tone, âHow do you intend to deal with me, girlfriend?â
âDrive properly!â She rebuked the old hooligan angrily.
âSo my girlfriend wants me to drive well...â Song Mian said the word driving very playfully.
Yun Xiangxiang squeezed her fist. If it werenât because he was driving, she would have pounced over to teach him a lesson!
Secretly taking a glance at Xiangxiang, who was both ashamed and annoyed, Song Mian couldnât help but curl his lips, âI was wrong. I will accept however my girlfriend intends to punish me.
âStop ahead. Iâll buy a durian.â
Song Mian fell silent.
