"Alright, alright, I won't expose your shortcomings, I'll just promote your reputation, okay?"
So Lu Jinghui told Shen Jinyan how outstanding Zhou Xiaonian was in school and how decisive he was when working on projects, praising Zhou Xiaonian so much that he was practically wagging his tail.
"I love listening, so tell me more." Zhou Xiaonian chuckled.
Lu Jinghui patted her head: "Okay, if you like listening, I, as your senior, will definitely talk more. Otherwise, if you complain to the teacher in a few days, I'm afraid I won't even have a bite to eat."
"Good to know, tell me quickly..."
Shen Jinyan watched Zhou Xiaonian and Lu Jinghui's interaction with surprise, and suddenly understood why Zhou Xiaonian said Xu Jingan was stupid.
Because the men around Zhou Xiaonian are all very outstanding, even more outstanding than her.
People admire strength. Xu Jing'an has been left behind by Zhou Xiaonian since high school, and he has never been able to catch up. Now, the gap is getting bigger and bigger. If Zhou Xiaonian turns around and shouts, he might not even be able to hear him.
And judging from how these two senior and junior brothers and sisters get along, maybe they'll get married in the future if they spend more time together.
Lu Jinghui was called away by a phone call not long after he arrived.
Shen Jinyan quietly asked Zhou Xiaonian, "Xiaonian, does your senior brother like you?"
Zhou Xiaonian nodded: "All my senior brothers like me."
I'm referring to attraction between men and women.
“I don’t think so,” Zhou Xiaonian said. “My relationship with them is more about mutual liking and appreciation.”
Shen Jinyan felt a little regretful: "Your senior brother is really good and outstanding. He is good-looking, has a good temperament, and his IQ is as high as yours. If the two of you get married, your child will definitely be highly intelligent."
"I have no plans to get married."
"Not getting married? How can a woman not get married? A woman who doesn't get married is—"
"What's wrong with women not getting married?" Zhou Xiaonian asked curiously. "Does not getting married mean you don't have a home? Does not getting married mean you don't have a job?"
Shen Jinyan looked at Zhou Xiaonian and muttered to herself, "Yeah, what's wrong with a woman not getting married?"
She murmured to herself, then suddenly covered her face and wept.
Zhou Xiaonian was stunned. Why did she suddenly start crying?
Just as I was about to ask to get to the bottom of things, the phone rang. It was Lu Jinghui calling: "Something happened to the teacher. Come downstairs, I'll come back and pick you up to go to the hospital together."
Zhou Xiaonian's teacher was Liang Liyang, an outstanding teacher. Liang Liyang led the development of China's first aircraft carrier, and one-third of the team members were his students, among whom Zhou Xiaonian and Lu Jinghui were the most outstanding.
After the Liaoning was successfully launched, Liang Liyang tried to matchmake Zhou Xiaonian and Lu Jinghui, but both of them refused.
Liang Liyang suffered a stroke a year ago and recovered after treatment, but it suddenly relapsed today. Fortunately, the family's nanny discovered it early and took him to the hospital in time.
Seeing Zhou Xiaonian and Lu Jinghui together, Liang Liyang got excited and once again had the idea of bringing the two of them together.
Lu Jinghui glanced at Zhou Xiaonian: "Teacher, I have no objection. The key is to see what Xiaonian thinks."
Zhou Xiaonian hesitated for a moment, then shrank back: "If I have any objections, will you disown me as your student, teacher?"
"How could that be? You two are my most outstanding students, and always will be."
After seeing Liang Liyang, Lu Jinghui escorted Zhou Xiaonian home.
The car stopped outside the Gu family mansion. Lu Jinghui called out to Zhou Xiaonian: "Xiaonian, you were young before, so I didn't agree to the teacher's suggestion. Now I'm thirty-one and you're twenty-eight. We're both mature adults. I want to ask you, do you have no feelings for me as a person, or do you have no desire for marriage at all?"
