Chapter 34 Fruit

After a while, the dishes came up, and Zhou Jingzhan happened to call. Since it was a department matter, he didn't avoid it.

Zhou Jingzhan was the most experienced person at the dinner table. He didn't pick up his chopsticks, so naturally no one else did either.

Only Chu Yunqi calmly picked up a piece of meat, but before he put it into his mouth, he found someone staring at him.

Yu Mingfang winked at him, and Chu Yunqi understood and put down the meat that was about to reach his mouth. It was so frustrating, Chu Yunqi cursed inwardly.

Zhou Jingzhan saw his every move, and then, ignoring the phone and the people in the room, he picked up another piece of meat and put it on his plate.

Even Chu Yunqi himself hadn't expected this move. What was going on with Zhou Jingzhan?! Didn't he just reject his request for a reconciliation yesterday? What was he doing with this today?

Under everyone's astonished gaze, Zhou Jingzhan hung up the phone and said, "Why are you looking at me? Let's eat."

Luo Zixi's face was full of black lines. She had a bad feeling when she saw the big bunch of wilted roses in Zhou Jingzhan's car just now. Zhou Jingzhan's behavior just now made her even more unhappy.

Because Ding Xinye had been lecturing him every day recently, Zhou Jingzhan had become more talkative, so the meal was not dull.

After dinner, the group returned to the department and formally introduced themselves to each other. Yu Mingfang and the other two were extremely embarrassed. Their tone was no longer as relaxed as before, and they spoke in a somewhat restrained manner: "Chu, Teacher Chu."

Chu Yunqi didn't seem embarrassed at all by being exposed. He smiled and said, "Don't be so polite. You look old." Then he flirted with Zhou Jingzhan again and said, "Right, Teacher Zhou?"

Zhou Jingzhan didn't reply, but just smiled faintly, "Director Ding asked you to go see him."

The smile on Chu Yunqi's face disappeared in an instant, and a moment later he knocked on the door of Ding Xinye's office.

At this moment, Ding Xinye was concentrating on making tea. He glanced at Chu Yunqi nonchalantly and said, "Sit down."

Chu Yunqi sat upright in front of him and called him uncle. Ding Xinye nodded, then poured him a cup of tea and asked, "How have you been recently?"

"It's okay." Chu Yunqi didn't think about it.

Ding Xinye snorted coldly and said sarcastically, "I think you've been having so much fun that you've forgotten what you do." Before Chu Yun could question him, he continued, "How much time and how many days have you taken off in the past month? Have you ever worked properly? Do something serious, and don't let your mind be filled with love all day long."

"Yeah." Chu Yunqi accepted it humbly.

Ding Xinye was not the type to chat with his juniors. After urging Chu Yunqi to achieve his goal, he asked him to leave the office.

In the afternoon, Zhou Jingzhan had the same schedule as Chu Yunqi, both seeing patients in the clinic, but he finished earlier than Chu Yunqi and sat outside the clinic waiting for him.

A moment later, Chu Yunqi's last patient came out, and Zhou Jingzhan took the opportunity to go in.

Chu Yunqi raised his head when he heard the noise. After seeing who was coming, he took off his mask and smiled without hiding his smile: "Hey, what brings you here?"

"It's rare to see you doing something serious, come and take a look."

Chu Yunqi turned off the computer and said, "What's there to see? Let's go. Do you have an operation tonight?"

"No, I'll go to the lab after get off work."

There were only the two of them in the elevator, so Chu Yunqi spoke without hesitation, "I want to eat hot pot."

"Eat it."

"You come with me."

"You beg me."

"Please." Chu Yunqi had no principles.

"..." Zhou Jingzhan restrained himself for another two seconds, "Yeah."

Then Chu Yunqi approached Zhou Jingzhan without any warning and kissed him on the cheek, "I love you the most."

Zhou Jingzhan wiped his face in disgust and cursed him as a psycho.

When the elevator door opened, the distance between the two of them was like that of strangers.

Chu Yunqi left his own car behind and insisted on riding in Zhou Jingzhan's car.

After get off work, the two went to the laboratory first, and Zhou Jingzhan called the students to come out and move things.

Chu Yunqi was curious: "What is it?"

"fruit."

Chu Yunqi had a strong possessiveness for everything that belonged to Zhou Jingzhan: "I want to eat it too."

"..." Zhou Jingzhan was too lazy to pay attention to him. Later, he found that he was staring at him straight, so he had no choice but to compromise: "I'll leave a box for you."

Chu Yunqi finally nodded in satisfaction. Seeing the students coming over, Zhou Jingzhan warned him before getting off the car, "Don't make any noise."

Two energetic male students came out and smiled when they saw Zhou Jingzhan. Chu Yunqi suddenly felt uneasy. He threw Zhou Jingzhan's words behind his head and got off the car decisively.

The two male students were obviously amazed when they saw Chu Yunqi. Zhou Jingzhan looked back in the direction of their gaze and was completely convinced.

Zhang Shaohua greeted him warmly, her eyes full of gossip: "Didn't you say you would have dinner with us tonight?"

His sexual orientation was no secret, and Zhou Jingzhan didn't even bother to act it out: "You guys go on your own, and come back to get reimbursed."

After confirming that the two students had sincere motives, Chu Yunqi was surprisingly enthusiastic and insisted on helping them move their things in.

Zhou Jingzhan couldn't do anything about him and could only watch them enter the laboratory together with a smile.

Chu Yunqi came out again ten minutes later. Zhou Jingzhan asked him, "What nonsense did you say to them?"

Chu Yunqi looked very proud: "I told them that we were together, and that you loved me very much and obeyed me in everything."

Zhou Jingzhan knew he was deliberately trying to piss him off: "What nonsense."

Chu Yunqi was not kidding when he went in. He looked around but couldn't find the student who had a special relationship with Zhou Jingzhan. He kept asking, "Where is your student?"

The incident with Xu Ye had caused a month-long cold war between the two. Zhou Jingzhan didn't want to bring it up again, so he asked coldly, "You want to quarrel again?"

Seeing his cold face, Chu Yunqi became even more unhappy. The nausea in his heart surged up again. He didn't want to eat the mangosteen in his hand anymore. He threw it at Zhou Jingzhan and said viciously: "You ## are not afraid of getting sick!"

Seven years ago, when they were together, Chu Yunqi had always been prone to temper tantrums, like a kitten, and would scratch him from time to time. However, he was easy to coax. At this moment, Zhou Jingzhan snorted and chuckled, and confessed, "He is my student."

It was clarified. Chu Yunqi's first reaction was smug joy, followed by annoyance: "Then why are you watching me so angry? You don't feel bad, do you?"

It would be a lie to say he didn't feel heartbroken. Thinking of the chain reaction caused by his own temptation, Zhou Jingzhan wanted to turn back time and take care of himself on that day. However, given their current relationship, he really didn't have the right to say he felt heartbroken, so he changed the subject: "Which hot pot restaurant do you want to eat?"

“Eat something expensive.”

A hot pot meal cost Zhou Jingzhan a week's salary. Chu Yunqi was satisfied, but he didn't want to leave. Before getting off the elevator and turning around, he asked Zhou Jingzhan again: "Do you have anything to do tonight?"

"I have a group meeting, so I don't have time."

Work is important, Chu Yunqi comforted himself, nodded understandingly, and turned away.

Perhaps because he had been too pretentious in the past, Zhou Jingzhan's current understanding seemed a little incomprehensible. He always felt that he was up to something bad and felt panic in his heart.

Chu Yunqi felt very happy here. He had been getting along well with Zhou Jingzhan these days. He really couldn't waste his time as Ding Xinye said. Chu Yunqi made up his mind.
