Chapter 43 Counseling

Today is Thursday, and after tomorrow, it will be the weekend.

Su Mi silently wrote down what the system said to her, and prepared to find a way to go to the villa with Xiao Xuanjin before the weekend.

Maybe I could really win him over there and make him open up to me completely.

Glancing at the bell in her hand, she asked her roommate to have a simple meal before going to the library.

After arriving, she found some books related to her profession, then sat down by the window to read, occasionally lowering her head to take notes.

In fact, she studied business management before coming here, and had some knowledge of investment analysis and risk assessment related to the financial market. Now that she has this opportunity, she also has a strong desire to learn more.

Time slipped away quietly without him noticing, until Su Mi felt someone coming beside him.

She thought it was Xiao Xuanjin, so she quickly looked up. When she saw who it was, she was surprised, "Brother Mu Qing, it's you."

He remained as gentle and cultured as ever. "Mind if I sit next to you?"

"Please sit down."

Gu Muqing sat down next to her, and the two of them tacitly did not say much, for fear of disturbing the atmosphere of the library, and just read their own books.

After a while, the screen of Su Mi's muted cell phone lit up.

She picked it up and saw that it was from Gu Muqing who was sitting next to her.

[Qingqing, are you in love? ]

Su Mi was stunned for a moment, then realized that he must have read the post about her and Xiao Xuanjin on the forum, so she typed a reply, "Yes, yes."

She remembered telling him before about her pursuit of Xiao Xuanjin.

Gu Muqing replied, "Very good."

And then nothing happened.

Su Mi did not reply to this message either.

Gu Muqing next to him also put down his phone.

After a while, Su Mi received a message: "I'm leaving first."

Then I saw Gu Mucheng stand up and leave.

Su Mi glanced at his back, lowered his head and typed a reply [Yeah. ]

Just as I put down my phone, another person came to my seat.

Su Mi thought he had come back, so she turned around and saw it was Xiao Xuanjin, who was wearing a black leather jacket and work pants.

He was leaning his elbows on the table, looking at her with a smile on his face.

Su Mi put down the book and whispered, "You're here."

Xiao Xuanjin pointed at her book, with a frivolous look on his face, and imitated her in a low voice, "You might as well ask me."

"Ah?" Su Mi took a look at it. This book was recommended by the teacher, who said it would be of great help to their major courses.

Xiao Xuanjin reached out and took her book in his own hand, "Ask."

Su Mi glanced at what he had just written on the notebook, then picked out a few lines and pushed them in front of him.

Xiao Xuanjin looked down and saw that her handwriting was beautiful and neat. She wrote very seriously and it was obvious that she was concentrating.

He glanced at the questions marked on it, then spread his palm upwards and said, "Pen."

Su Mi handed him his pen.

Xiao Xuanjin lowered his head, picked up the pen, and began to elaborate on the questions she had outlined.

Su Mi was watching from the side. He was writing very seriously, which was in stark contrast to his usual sloppy appearance. He was serious and earnest and did not smile.

He seldom even thought, and wrote as if inspired by God, following the blank space without pausing.

Until he stopped writing and pushed the notebook to her.

Su Mi looked down and saw that his handwriting was vigorous and powerful, and every stroke showed his bold and confident demeanor.

His answers to her questions were very direct. They were very different from the long discussions in the book. Instead, his answers were concise and intuitive, and easy to understand.

The finance major focuses more on cultivating data analysis and mathematical modeling capabilities, so students often have higher requirements for mathematics and need to master more mathematics and statistics knowledge to analyze financial data and build models.

After reading it, Su Mi once again felt that he was very smart and had strong logical thinking. Perhaps he had already mastered the knowledge he had learned.

Normally, he just doesn't bother to show off.

Su Mi raised his head and smiled, "Well, I have a few more questions. Please answer them all."

After saying that, he took out a pen and started writing on the paper.

For the entire afternoon, she treated Xiao Xuanjin as a free teacher, asking for advice and learning from him.

They came out of the library at lunchtime.

Su Mi still held the book in his hand and looked up at him, "I'll go and return the book first, wait for me."

Xiao Xuanjin pinched his wrist joints and said nonchalantly, "I'm so tired after tutoring students on handwriting for an entire afternoon."

Su Mi hugged the book tightly and said sincerely, "Thank you for today! You have worked hard."

"It's just a literal thank you. So perfunctory." Xiao Xuanjin glanced at her with a look of frustration on his face.

Su Mi stretched out a hand and held his fingertips, saying politely, "What do you want? I can treat you to a meal."

"A meal?"

"Um."

"That's no fun."

"How many tons do you want?"

Xiao Xuanjin smiled and corrected her, "It's not about the food." Then he pointed to his face and said, "Here..."

Su Mi understood what he meant immediately and looked back at the students coming out of the library. "There are a lot of people here."

Seeing her embarrassed look, Xiao Xuanjin smiled mischievously, "Okay then, remember to make up for it when there's no one else."

When Su Mi heard this, her cheeks turned red and she glared at him, "I'll go deliver the book."

After saying that, he ran directly to the dormitory building.

Xiao Xuanjin stood there with his hands in his pockets, smiling.

When Su Mi returned the books to the dormitory and came downstairs, Xiao Xuanjin was already waiting for her downstairs.

She walked over and asked casually, "What are you having for dinner?"

"You forgot to reserve a month's worth of meals for you."

The hotel has delivered it at mealtime and placed it at the address Xiao Xuanjin mentioned.

Su Mi almost forgot about it. "Where is it?"

"You'll find out when you get there."

Xiao Xuanjin pulled her to the small cafeteria.

When they arrived, many students were already eating in the cafeteria.

Xiao Xuanjin led her around and around until they reached a small compartment inside.

The space inside is not big, just enough for two people, very quiet.

Su Mi saw that the same things she had eaten that day were already laid out on the table: bird's nest, soup that is a famous and precious tonic, and nutritious and exquisite small meals.

"So what do you eat?"

This is all hers, it seems like there is no share for him.

"I'll just buy a set meal, you eat first."

Having said that, he went out.

Su Mi sat down on the chair, looked at the table full of food, and sighed silently.

He tried so hard to nourish her body, but she was just deceiving him in order to complete her mission...

I felt uneasy and even lost my appetite after seeing such exquisite dishes.

When Xiao Xuanjin came back, he saw that she hadn't started eating yet.

He sat opposite her and put down the plate. "What's wrong? Are you waiting for me?"

Su Mi glanced at his plate, which contained several home-cooked dishes and rice. Compared with her table, it was very ordinary.

She took over the conversation, "Yes, if you don't come, how can I start eating first?"

Xiao Xuanjin's gaze stayed on her face for a few seconds. "Your expression... isn't it because you are too moved?"

Su Mi shook his head, unwilling to admit it, "Why don't you eat the same thing as me?"

Xiao Xuanjin answered casually, "I don't need to replenish my body."

"Eat quickly. If you are really moved, then..."

"Just what?"

Xiao Xuanjin stopped talking and looked at her with a serious look, "You will know later."

Su Mi didn't ask any more questions and just lowered his head to eat.
