Lin Zhixia didn't hesitate at all and answered readily: "No problem."
Just like that, she brought Jiang Yubai back home.
Mom and Dad are out, and Lin Zeqiu also has to go to work.
Lin Zeqiu put on his backpack and glanced at Jiang Yubai. He heard that Jiang Yubai was very busy at work and missed two meals in a row. He came to pick up his sister early in the morning with an empty stomach. He suddenly felt that this guy could be regarded as "a hateful person must have a pitiful side", so he reluctantly said a few nice words: "There is hot porridge and hot buns in the kitchen, and there are dried radishes and sour beans on the table. You can fill your stomach."
Jiang Yubai stood behind him and said without hesitation, "Thank you, brother-in-law."
Lin Zhixia laughed out loud.
Lin Zeqiu's body froze.
He hadn't officially acknowledged Jiang Yubai's identity as his "brother-in-law", but this guy actually called him "brother-in-law". He was simply shameless! He pushed open the front door and left without looking back.
"My brother doesn't seem to quarrel with you anymore." Lin Zhixia concluded.
Jiang Yubai echoed: "Arguing won't solve the problem."
Lin Zhixia once again sighed: "Your emotions are really stable and mature now. Unlike when you were a kid, your ears would turn red if I teased you a little."
As she talked, she walked forward. When she passed a pillar, Jiang Yubai raised his hand and rested on it, blocking her way. She leaned against the cold pillar, and at first she lowered her head. Later, her eyes moved up along his collar, stopping at his neck. He bent down, breathing with her, and whispered to her, "Xia Xia..."
Whenever he murmured "Xia Xia" like he was talking to himself, his subtitle was: I want to kiss you, I want to be close to you.
He always remembered Lin Zhixia's extraordinary memory level. Every prelude to intimacy was filled with a tone of irrepressible emotions. And because he always displayed an ascetic and conservative style, the contrast between what he showed before and after made Lin Zhixia's blood boil.
The white curtains fluttered, and the large living room seemed a little empty. The room fell into silence. Lin Zhixia leaned close to his ear, touched his earlobe with her lips, and replied in French: "Tupeuxm'embrassermai (You can kiss me)." She emphasized: "toutmoment (Any time)."
They kissed in the early morning sunshine. All the words melted away at this moment. The city outside the French window had just woken up from the morning mist, and the marble tiles on the terrace reflected the sunset.
At nine o'clock this morning, Lin Zhixia will teach undergraduate students.
She must be out before half past eight.
Around eight in the morning, Lin Zhixia was still sitting at the table, feeding Jiang Yubai a spoonful of porridge - Jiang Yubai looked very embarrassed. He had just taken a bite, and his movements were a little hesitant. Although he enjoyed Lin Zhixia's care, in his memory, he had never troubled others like this.
Lin Zhixia was excited as if she had discovered a new continent: "Eat some more."
After saying that, she handed over the spoon and put it to his lips.
Jiang Yubai actually picked up a bowl of porridge and drank half of it like a butcher drinking wine. He also picked up chopsticks and put a few pieces of "fried radish" into the bowl. There was no sign of being picky at all. He seemed to be a well-fed person.
He ate all the buns that Lin Zhixia gave him without making a sound. Lin Zhixia had eaten with him many times before, and she felt that just watching him drink and eat was filled with the joy of life.
She rested her chin on one hand and looked at him intently.
He put down his chopsticks and looked at her.
Lin Zhixia's eyes were still as clear and bright as ever, and the stars in the sky seemed to sparkle in her eyes. Jiang Yubai was fascinated by her and even wanted to propose to her today... The ring had been bought and the velvet box was placed on the bedside of his bedroom.
Lin Zhixia couldn't guess what Jiang Yubai was thinking. She just said, "It's almost time. I have to go to work."
Jiang Yubai looked at his watch and picked up his suit jacket: "I'll take you to school."
Jiang Yubai and Lin Zhixia set out from home and walked along the road.
Lin Zhixia lived in a neighborhood very close to the university town. On the way, she ran into a few students—she had seen those boys at the college's opening ceremony, and those boys had seen Lin Zhixia's photos more than once. They carried soy milk and fried dough sticks bought from an off-campus breakfast shop, occasionally glanced back at Lin Zhixia, whispered a few words, and were full of expectations for today's "Quantum Bits and Computers" course.
Every student had a smile on his or her face.
Lin Zhixia introduced Jiang Yubai: "They are all my students."
"Undergraduate student?" Jiang Yubai asked again.
"Yes." Lin Zhixia responded.
As the master, Jiang Yubai said politely: "They all seem to be quite smart."
"That's what I thought, too," Lin Zhixia said, "so I carefully designed the final exam questions and course assignments."
Jiang Yubai remembered that the exercise notebook that Lin Zhixia gave him was full of competition questions that Lin Zhixia had "carefully designed". All the questions she marked as "the most difficult" were more terrifying than the other. Before Jiang Yubai looked up the answers, he couldn't figure out how to solve them no matter how hard he tried.
Jiang Yubai was a little concerned about the looks those boys gave Lin Zhixia. But then, he began to feel a little sympathy for those young boys.
He reminded me casually, "In your school, the average scores of courses in previous years probably fluctuated within a certain range."
Lin Zhixia understood: "Yes, I must control the overall average score. I will calculate the students' test scores and regular scores, and then weighted average them so that all their scores conform to the normal distribution."
Before she finished speaking, Lin Zhixia walked to the gate of the university.
She waved to Jiang Yubai: "Go and get busy. We'll meet again when we have time."
Jiang Yubai held her fingertips, and heard the students shouting, "Master!" - that was Xu Lingbo's voice. Jiang Yubai let go of her hand and said goodbye to Lin Zhixia, "See you tomorrow."
See you tomorrow.
This is some kind of code between them.
Lin Zhixia smiled and said, "See you tomorrow."
Jiang Yubai's driver had already parked the car outside the school gate. Lin Zhixia watched Jiang Yubai get into the car, and her student Xu Lingbo happened to run over: "Hey, Teacher Lin? Is the master leaving now?"
Lin Zhixia explained for Jiang Yubai: "He has been very busy at work these past two days."
Xu Lingbo spread his hands and said, "My master's family is busy with business, and I am also busy selling things at school..."
After Xu Lingbo said this, he realized what a huge mistake he had made!
It was too late to save it.
Lin Zhixia asked him directly: "What do you sell at school?"
