Chapter 190: You Go with Them
Tan Zhixu sighed, feeling somewhat disappointed. Xu Yihuan's attitude made it hard for him to feel that she cared about him.
"Then you can play over there for a while, I'll be right there."
"good."
Xu Yihuan sat on the side and watched Tan Zhixu explain the questions to them.
Tan Zhixu had a serious expression and a cold voice. His beautiful eyes were always lowered as he looked at the questions. Whenever he looked up, his gaze was always directed at Xu Yihuan.
Xu Yihuan was initially focused on Tan Zhixu's explanation of the problem, still wearing the fox headband she had just taken the opportunity to put on, looking quite adorable. Yes, a serious man is indeed very handsome.
Later, the phone screen started flashing continuously, and Xu Yihuan clicked on it to take a look.
It was a message from Jiangjin South, so I replied immediately.
I got so engrossed in replying to the message that I completely forgot about Tan Zhixu.
Tan Zhixu would occasionally tilt his head, hoping to make eye contact with Xu Yihuan, but in the end, all he could see was the top of her head.
Tan Zhixu felt an overwhelming sense of loss.
He withdrew his gaze and didn't look in that direction again.
I turned my attention back to the problem at hand.
Most of the questions cover comprehensive and challenging topics, and it can take up to half an hour to answer a single question.
By the time all the topics had been covered, it was time for dinner.
Xu Yihuan also looked up, staring at Tan Zhixu with a bored expression.
Tan Zhixu was overjoyed to finally receive her gaze.
I stood up and wanted to go and hug her.
He seems to have that skin hunger syndrome; he can't stand seeing something but not being able to touch it!
Before they had taken two steps, a voice came from over.
"Oh, you guys finished so quickly?"
My supervisor had just finished a meeting and rushed in, holding a notebook in his hand.
He frowned when he saw the fox ears on Tan Zhixu's head.
He has always been serious and upright, and he can't stand seeing such fancy things done in such a solemn setting; they all know that.
The supervising teacher glanced at Xu Yihuan almost imperceptibly.
"Yes, Ah Xu is really amazing. He knows everything. I think we still have a good chance of winning first prize this time," the girl said first.
Soon other male classmates chimed in.
"Of course! But don't drag me down during team matches."
"Get lost! You're always the one who makes the most mistakes during practice!"
"Don't believe me? Ask Ah Xu, aren't you the worst?"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone fell silent, their eyes all turning to Tan Zhixu, waiting for his answer.
Tan Zhixu was also infected by this atmosphere. His rosy lips curled up slightly, and the mole between his eyebrows made him look even more fair and upright.
Under everyone's gaze, Tan Zhixu nodded.
Everyone immediately burst into laughter and playful banter.
Xu Yihuan sat to one side, propping her forehead up with her hand and looking at them with a cold gaze.
This is a circle she can't fit into. Tan Zhixu chats and laughs with them, but she doesn't even necessarily understand the "basic" formulas within it.
Xu Yihuan didn't react much, but her gaze lingered on the girl for a while.
Perhaps it was her intuition as a fellow woman, but she could tell almost immediately that this girl liked Tan Zhixu and harbored strong hostility towards her.
Xu Yihuan gave a soft chuckle.
The sound was very soft and was drowned out by the laughter of the crowd, but Tan Zhixu stopped immediately.
He coughed twice and said, "Alright, since it's over now, I'll go eat first."
"My wife is waiting for me."
Upon hearing this, the supervising teacher subconsciously frowned.
Although Tan Zhixu speaks without any taboos, he still knows his limits. How come he says everything now without any shame?
The supervising teacher glanced at Xu Yihuan again. She was a very quiet girl, but she didn't have any special features. He didn't remember her either, and he figured she wasn't a particularly promising student in the department.
The supervising professor never considered that Xu Yihuan might not be from their mathematics department.
Just thinking about it made her impression of Xu Yihuan even worse.
Tan Zhixu is a promising talent, and he hopes that Tan Zhixu can find an excellent person who is worthy of him.
Xu Yihuan had no idea what he was thinking, but even if she did, she wouldn't care.
Tan Zhixu put his arm around Xu Yihuan's shoulder and helped her up.
"What would you like to eat?" Tan Zhixu asked.
"That rice noodle shop near the school gate?"
"Okay, let's go."
Tan Zhixu carried the building blocks that Xu Yihuan brought in one hand and linked arms with Xu Yihuan in the other.
Just as I was about to leave, my instructor grabbed me.
"Hey Tan Zhixu, where are you going?"
"Teacher, aren't you going to eat?"
The instructor's lips twitched at Tan Zhixu's words.
"Come with us, I have something I want to tell you."
"We're about to play a match, and this time the home court isn't ours, so there are still a lot of things that need to be explained."
"You can't just forget about everything else just because you're in a relationship."
As the instructor spoke, he gave Xu Yihuan a meaningful look.
Xu Yihuan sneered inwardly. Who couldn't see what he meant by those words?
In the past, she wouldn't have cared about anything else; Tan Zhixu was her boyfriend, and it was only natural for him to go with her.
But today, perhaps my spirits were already worn down by their little clique from the very beginning, and I'm too lazy to argue about these trivial matters.
With so many people around, Tan Zhixu might not agree to go with her.
Tan Zhixu frowned, opening his mouth as if to refuse.
This old man really thinks this is his business? Is this the competition he's in? Will he get a share of the winnings?
I helped him out of kindness, and now you want to disturb him and his wife having dinner together? Go to hell.
Before he could even utter a word of refusal, Xu Yihuan's voice came through.
"In that case, Ah Xu, you should go with them."
"I'll come back to see you in a couple of days."
"I happen to have some things to take care of here. You know, things are still ongoing in the western suburbs."
After Xu Yihuan finished speaking, she turned and left calmly.
Tan Zhixu was taken aback.
What does this mean? Does his wife not want him anymore?
In a second, Tan Zhixu mentally reflected dozens of times on whether he had done anything recently that made Xu Yihuan unhappy.
But the fact is, it doesn't exist.
The western suburbs... something... so it was Jiang Jinnan who contacted her?
Tan Zhixu clenched his fist, feeling a little upset.
Why is he everywhere? Huanhuan is clearly looking for me!
Someone put their arm around my shoulder.
"Alright, Xu, since your girlfriend has something to do, let's go first."
"It's lunchtime, and we've already reserved a table for you."
Tan Zhixu watched Xu Yihuan's retreating figure, feeling utterly disappointed. Before he could make a move, he was led away by their back-and-forth banter.
...
Xu Yihuan walked out the door.
The air quality in Beijing is not very good; the sky is always gray.
Xu Yihuan had never felt anything before, but today she felt extremely depressed, as if she were trapped in a large net and couldn't breathe.
Xu Yihuan pursed her lips, having no desire to return to the dormitory, and dragged her feet home.
He wasn't in the mood, and even his movements to open the door with the key were much slower than usual.
As soon as she inserted the key, she realized the door wasn't locked, leaving Xu Yihuan puzzled.
Isn't her dad pretty busy lately? Why is he home at this hour?
