Chapter 33
Xu Zhiyan finally agreed to the request for dinner, because not only she was there, Xiao Yun also invited her teacher, and Chen Xuan also agreed to go. If she didn't go, she would be disrespecting her mentor.
When she went out, she happened to meet Song Yizhu again. She was wearing a silver-white corseted dress with complicated patterns all the way down the front. In the center hung a golden badge surrounded by four stars. The stand-up collar of the uniform completely concealed her scent.
Dress very formally.
Is she busy today?
When Song Yizhu saw her, he just nodded slightly as a greeting.
"Marshal, you're ready. Let's go. The convoy is ready." Han Lin was also wearing a dress, but unlike her silver-white one, this one was all black, with three hexagonal stars on the golden epaulettes.
"Ms. Xu, what a coincidence, we're leaving first." Han Lin certainly noticed Xu Zhiyan next to her, but now was not the time to chat, so she just said hello briefly and followed Song Yizhu.
Xu Zhiyan didn't even say a word. He could only watch their backs disappear from his sight. The dresses they wore, their tall figures, and their long hair falling obediently behind them were really eye-catching.
Below was a long convoy, and there were several people dressed in silver-white like Song Yizhu. They should be of the same rank, marshals of the military branch.
After everyone saluted her, Song Yizhu just nodded slightly and did not return the salute. Instead, she was the first to sit in the front car.
Logically speaking, Song Yizhu's military rank is the same as theirs, and people of the same level should show the same courtesy when meeting each other, but looking at this picture, it doesn't look like they are of the same level.
Xu Zhiyan looked down at the group of people below and did not go downstairs until they had all left.
Fortunately, the Xu family couldn’t find anyone yet, so she felt a lot more relieved.
But it doesn't matter if she finds it. She has connections, Song Yizhu under her, her name in the marriage, and her identity are enough to make the Xu family wary.
"Teacher, good afternoon. Teacher Chen will be here in a while." When Xu Zhiyan arrived, there were already several people sitting at the dining table, both male and female, and they were indeed all students she had taught.
"Good afternoon." Xu Zhiyan frowned slightly. The eyes of the people at the table were all on her, with expressions of inquiry or curiosity on their faces. It felt like something was not right.
"Hey, good afternoon, teacher. We thought Xiao Yun couldn't get anyone to come. Teacher, please order whatever you want. Xiao Yun will pay for the meal today."
"You're welcome, teacher. I'm not short of money." Before Xu Zhiyan could speak, Xiao Yun at the side spoke first, his voice full of frivolity.
Why does this scene look so much like the Hongmen Banquet...
"Just order what you want, I'm fine with anything." Since he was already here, Xu Zhiyan could only sit down patiently.
If she had known this would happen, she might as well have stayed at home and read a few more books. If that didn't work, she could have gone to find Lin Wanxi.
"Okay, let's order. Does the teacher drink?"
"Drinking? Are you still drinking?"
"Yeah, doesn't the teacher drink? It's vacation time now, the teacher probably won't care."
Xu Zhiyan shook his head, a little surprised, but didn't care whether they drank or not.
Xu Zhiyan said it didn't matter, and the people present started to have fun, ordering four or five bottles of wine, both red and white.
While people were ordering, Chen Xuan finally arrived and naturally sat next to Xu Zhiyan. Everyone present quickly greeted her.
"Yanyan, you guys came so early."
"The teacher came very quickly. I just sat down."
"What would you like to drink, teachers? Red wine?" Just as the two of them said a few words, someone came with a wine glass in his hand, and seemed to be ready to pour the wine.
"No need, just drink it, don't get drunk." Xu Zhiyan waved her hand. She didn't like drinking and would try not to drink if possible.
Chen Xuan doesn't even drink alcohol. If Xiao Yun hadn't coaxed her, she wouldn't have come over.
Both teachers said they didn't want to drink, and no one tried to persuade them. They just turned around and started pouring wine with the people next to them.
"Teacher, will Teacher Xu still be arranged to teach us next semester?" Xiao Yun sat down next to Xu Zhiyan and asked Chen Xuan, who was sitting across from him.
"It's hard to say. It depends on the school's arrangements." Chen Xuan glanced at her. She had some impression of this student. She liked to ask a few questions from time to time.
"Well, I think Teacher Xu's classes are very good. She explains things in a simple and easy-to-understand way, and she answers questions promptly after class. I really hope she can teach us again next semester." Xu Zhiyan didn't give a clear answer, but Xiao Yun was not discouraged.
"Can't I just go to class?" Chen Xuan pretended to be jealous.
"How could that be? Teacher Chen's teaching is amazing, but he's so busy, he has to teach graduate students, and sometimes I can't even find him."
"You, why aren't you usually so active? And you said you couldn't see me, so why didn't you come to my office?"
"Hehe, I don't dare to do that. I will just look for the teacher on the communication." Xiao Yun chuckled twice. She didn't want to be caught and scolded.
…
Fortunately, Xiao Yun's focus was not on himself, which made Xu Zhiyan breathe a sigh of relief and relax a little.
"Teacher, are you going back by yourself? Do you want me to take you there?" The meal took a long time, almost two hours. After it was over, they even had to go somewhere else to play. Xu Zhiyan didn't plan to continue.
"No need, you guys go have fun, I'll go back first." Xu Zhiyan shook his head and rejected her kindness.
Xiao Yun wanted to say something more, but two cars suddenly drove up from the side of the street, cutting her off from her words.
"Is that Xu Zhiyan?" The car window rolled down, revealing a man's face. He was wearing sunglasses, so his features couldn't be seen clearly.
"What's up?"
"Our Seventh Miss... has something she wants to talk to you about."
"Sorry, I don't want to talk."
"Ms. Xu, can we chat for a while? It will be quick." The back window rolled down, revealing Xiao Jingxue's face.
"No." Xu Zhiyan still wanted to refuse. She didn't want to be caught and warned.
"Teacher, is this your friend?" Xiao Yun saw that the situation was not right, so he quickly moved to her side. His eyes fell on the person in the car, who looked a little familiar.
"No." Xu Zhiyan shook his head casually, clicked on his bracelet, and planned to call an unmanned flying car to take him home.
"Ms. Xu, since there are still people pursuing you, there is no need to be so picky." Xiao Jingxue met Xiao Yun's gaze, glanced up and down, and quickly looked away.
Originally, Xiao Jingxue wanted to persuade the person to let go, but after seeing the person next to her, she was not so wary. Since there was someone around, it would be much easier to deal with.
Xu Zhiyan didn't reply to her. It was really presumptuous of her to secretly speculate about other people's relationships and give nonsensical advice.
"My car is here. I'm leaving first. You should go home early too." Soon a car stopped on the side of the street. Xu Zhiyan gave another instruction and quickly got into the car.
