Bai Jiaojiao also laughed: "Teacher Xiang, I never give up halfway through what I do, so I probably won't change my major."

Xiang Anqi didn't expect Bai Jiaojiao to change her mind so quickly. He said, "Do you think changing your major is a simple matter? It requires being in the top 10% of your class."

"Teacher, are you free the day after tomorrow? I'd like to invite you to my house for dinner tonight, is that alright?" Bai Jiaojiao asked.

"Your home? You rented a place here?"

"Yes, we just moved there a couple of days ago."

"So I'm the first customer? Okay, then I'll definitely go and warm up the pot for you."

Xiang Anqi agreed as if it were a matter of course, and a teacher standing nearby joked, "Bai Jiaojiao, could you invite us to your house for a meal?"

"Of course, teachers, please tell me if you have any dietary restrictions."

Come on, everyone come! The more the better. With so many highly educated people around, let's see who can protect Gao Peifu.

Bai Jiaojiao's invitation was genuine, but the other teachers were just joking.

Xiang Anqi said, "This is my disciple. Do you want to benefit from this for nothing?"

Bai Jiaojiao took the new task Xiang Anqi gave her, completed her own task, and left happily.

Shen Heng learned Gao Peifu's current address from Meng Hongmei, and after dinner, he rode his bicycle out the door.

He was worried about Bai Jiaojiao being home alone, so he let her go back to her dorm to sleep for the night.

Bai Jiaojiao went back to her dorm to sleep, which surprised and delighted Xu Yue.

"You didn't get kicked out after arguing with a man, did you? That's hilarious." Chen Meizhen finally found an opportunity to outdo Bai Jiaojiao. When she came back from the library and saw Bai Jiaojiao there, she almost died laughing.

Chen Meizhen goes home to sleep every Friday night and doesn't stay in the dormitory for the entire weekend.

She packed her things, glanced at Bai Jiaojiao with schadenfreude, and left with a very proud air.

Shu Manling asked worriedly, "Did you two really have a fight?"

“We didn’t argue,” Bai Jiaojiao lied. “We were planning to replace the bedroom window, but it wasn’t properly ventilated last night, so we’re sleeping in the dorm for one night and will go back tomorrow.”

Hearing Bai Jiaojiao's words, Shu Manling breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, it's good that you didn't quarrel. Now that you two are going to university together, you should be able to take care of each other and have a better relationship."

"We have a good relationship."

Xu Yue believed this: "Her boyfriend takes her to and from get out of class every day. Anyone who didn't know better would think he has nothing better to do. That's what you call being inseparable! How could they possibly quarrel? Chen Meizhen just wants to stir up trouble and hopes that others are having a hard time."

Xu Yue happily took her to wash up and showed her the results of her and Shu Manling's efforts in keeping her bed clean over the past two days.

Bai Jiaojiao spent the night in the dormitory, but she still couldn't help worrying about Shen Heng.

The next day, when she came out of the dormitory, she saw Shen Heng waiting for her outside. Shu Manling and Xu Yue, who came out with her, were in a better mood than ever before when they saw Shen Heng.

"I knew it! How could those two possibly argue? Bai Jiaojiao has such a good temper."

Xu Yue and Shu Manling, being perceptive, left together. Bai Jiaojiao walked up to Shen Heng and asked, "Brother Heng, how was last night?"

"I used to do this all the time, so don't worry."

When Shen Heng was a good-for-nothing, Bai Jiaojiao had nothing to do with him yet.

Even though I've transformed into a college student, I can't forget my old profession, can I?

Bai Jiaojiao felt relieved after hearing him say that.

The two ate breakfast together in the cafeteria and then went to buy groceries to prepare for dinner with Teacher Xiang Anqi that evening.

Bai Jiaojiao bought a small hen and stewed it in a pot four hours in advance.

The meat dishes included braised pork and steamed fish. There weren't many vegetables available in early spring, so Bai Jiaojiao managed to prepare three meat dishes and three vegetable dishes, along with a clam and vegetable soup. It was quite a feast for the three of them.

After busying herself at home for half a day without seeing Gao Peifu come to retaliate for what happened last night, Bai Jiaojiao knew that the matter was half settled.

If Gao Peifu hadn't been able to hold back and had come earlier, their plan wouldn't have worked!

Bai Jiaojiao set off for school around 5 a.m. and picked up Xiang Anqi, who was carrying a bag of big red apples.

When Xiang Anqi saw Shen Heng, he said, "I really underestimated you back then. I really didn't expect you to get into Peking University. Although it's a bit late, congratulations."

"Thank you, Teacher Xiang." Shen Heng was especially polite, knowing he might need the teacher's help later.

Bai Jiaojiao went to the kitchen and turned all the prepared ingredients into finished products. Shen Heng helped serve each dish one by one. Xiang Anqi looked at the delicious dishes and quickly said, "Why are you making so many? How many mouths do the three of us have?"

Although the dishes weren't particularly high-end for Xiang Anqi, a professor who had lived in Yancheng for a long time and had a considerable income, he felt a little embarrassed that Bai Jiaojiao and Shen Heng, who came from a small town, had prepared such a good meal for him.

"It's alright, teacher. He eats a lot, so we can't leave any. Please don't be shy later, or I won't be responsible if he doesn't get enough to eat."

Before the steamed buns were even served in the kitchen, everyone started eating the side dishes.

Bai Jiaojiao also bought a bottle of Zhuyeqing tea: "Teacher, let's have a little bit. We agreed beforehand that the three of us would only have half a bottle, okay?"

Two cups of wine for one person wasn't much, so Xiang Anqi nodded and asked Bai Jiaojiao to fill them up.

As they ate and drank, the night grew deeper, but there was still so much to say at the dinner table. Xiang Anqi hadn't had time to talk to Bai Jiaojiao, but they had all chatted to their hearts' content.

Shen Heng remained silent, listening to their conversation. He would occasionally reply when mentioned, but his mind was always on their back window.

Finally, around nine o'clock, just as Xiang Anqi was getting into the swing of things, the back window suddenly crashed down with a loud bang.

Their dining table was placed in the middle of the main hall. If it were moved any further to the side, the shards of glass would fall into their bowls.

Xiang Anqi was completely unprepared, but he had seen the world. Back when he was in college, he moved the school site under enemy airdrops, which was quite a thrill.

"who?"

Xiang Anqi, though old, is still vigorous and stands even ahead of Chen Heng.

Their house has two back windows, each made up of two pieces of glass.

The people outside were clearly furious. Not satisfied with smashing one pane of glass, they smashed the second, third, and fourth panes one by one, and finally used a hammer to break their window lock.

He was about to jump in as he spoke.

Xiang Anqi said anxiously to Shen Heng, "Hurry up, what if he really gets in!"

As he spoke, he was already eager to step forward.

Bai Jiaojiao wasn't going to let the old man come and fight, so she quickly grabbed Xiang Anqi: "Teacher, be careful, Brother Heng knows what he's doing."

Xiang Anqi thought for a moment, then led Bai Jiaojiao into the bedroom.

Seeing how cowardly this family was, Gao Peifu jumped over and entered their house.
