Chapter 181 As a man, he might be a little...
Upon hearing this, Ao Cang glanced at Xu Hui, who was in close contact with Yan Ge. The words he was about to say caught in his throat, and he lied, his long, raven-feather-like eyelashes trembling slightly: "I think I suddenly forgot what I was going to say. I'll say it when I remember."
Qiao Mei often experienced this, so she didn't think much of it.
The Dragon Boat Festival is over.
When Qiao Mei returned to the Federal Academy, Xu Hui reminded her to bring some of the zongzi she had made to Gong Jing.
"Also, remember to mention to him that you two should go out for a meal alone."
"Okay, I understand."
After dealing with Xu Hui, Qiao Mei arrived at the college. She distributed the savory meat dumplings that Xu Hui had made to Shu Qingqing, who had arrived earlier, and then asked her if she knew where the teachers' dormitory was.
"I only found out when I went home for the Dragon Boat Festival that Gong Jing is the son of my mother's best friend. She asked me to bring some zongzi (sticky rice dumplings) to him."
As for Xu Hui's intention to match her with Gong Jing, Qiao Mei didn't mention a word about it.
The main concern is that Shu Qingqing is a gossip, and her mouth often flows like a sieve.
The rumor spread like wildfire, and even if she and Gong Jing had nothing going on, rumors would still circulate that they were having an affair.
"Oh, what a coincidence! It's just a pity, though. Teacher Gong is twelve years older than you. If he were a little younger, you two might have been able to develop something..."
Qiao Mei rolled her eyes at her, a little helpless: "Alright, stop thinking nonsense. This is destined to be impossible. Instead, help me ask where the classrooms and dormitories are. I want to get rid of these things as soon as possible."
It's still early, and there aren't many students returning to school yet. If it gets later and there are more people, they might start to think things through when they see her and Shu Qingqing coming out of Gongjing's place.
Shu Qingqing was stunned: "No, don't you have Teacher Gong's contact information? Why don't you just ask him to send you his location?"
Qiao Mei was speechless: "I sent a message, but I didn't get a reply. I guess he's still busy with something. Let's go see if we can catch him at the spot. If we can't, we'll just hang the stuff on the door."
"Oh, okay, I'll ask around for you."
Shu Qingqing is the queen of gossip, a stark contrast to the arrogant and aloof image Qiao Mei initially projected when they first met, and she's also a bit confused.
The two of them dawdled for more than ten minutes before finally getting the address of Gong Jing's faculty dormitory from a senior student who had once delivered love letters to him. They even paid Shu Qingqing 250 yuan for the information.
Qiao Mei offered to transfer the money to her, but she refused to accept it, saying that there was no need to be so calculating between friends, and that she could earn money directly from receiving a small gift in her live stream.
Having no other choice, Qiao Mei could only stop pressuring her and instead think about how she could make it up to her in other ways later.
Ao Cang watched as Qiao Mei followed Shu Qingqing toward the faculty dormitory, checking the zongzi and small gifts she was carrying, and forced himself to look away.
But the little seedling that was growing so well in my heart has now become wilted and droopy.
........
"We've arrived. I'll ring the doorbell first, and then you can call Teacher Gong, Qiaoqiao."
As Shu Qingqing spoke, she ran over and rang the doorbell, while Qiao Mei opened her personal terminal to find Gong Jing's message box.
However, before they could find it, they heard Shu Qingqing's surprised voice coming from in front of them.
"Oh, Professor Gong, you're home?"
Looking up, I saw Gongjing dressed in casual clothes, carrying a flowerpot, looking like she was about to come out to water the flowers.
Upon noticing that Qiao Mei and Shu Qingqing had arrived, and that Qiao Mei was carrying a gift box, he remembered the news he had seen from his mother at noon. He grunted in response and stepped aside to let the two of them in.
The decoration of the faculty and staff dormitories is not much different from that of the student dormitories.
To be honest, it's just a bit bigger and comes with a small garden.
After pouring each of them a glass of juice, Gongjing told them to drink it while he went out to water the flowers.
They said the flowers hadn't been watered in a long time and would die of thirst if they weren't watered soon.
Qiao Mei nodded: "Okay, then you..."
Gong Jing glanced at her, his green eyes reflecting Qiao Mei's bewildered and beautiful face: "You don't need to be so respectful in private. Besides, your mother and my mother have a good relationship. Just call me brother."
After saying that, Gong Jing continued to speak to Shu Qingqing with a bit of double standards: "You won't be able to do it. You should just stay the same as before."
Shu Qingqing: "......."
hehe.
After Gong Jing left, Shu Qingqing kept complaining about the incident, while Qiao Mei looked around at the dormitory where Gong Jing lived.
Unlike Miyako's cold and aloof appearance, the interior decorations are all cute and charming.
The curtains, tables, and chairs all feature animal motifs.
There were also many snacks on a table not far away.
This reminded her of the time when Gong Jing put milk tea in his thermos, and the aloof image she had built up of him completely collapsed at that moment.
Shu Qingqing noticed it too, but her thought process was different from Qiao Mei's.
She glanced at the several pairs of animal-themed slippers on the shoe cabinet, then lowered her voice and clicked her tongue, "Qiaoqiao, do you think Teacher Gong lives here with his girlfriend?"
It's quite rare to see a normal man incorporate so many cute elements.
Qiao Mei shook her head, indicating that she didn't know.
"However, I think the possibility is relatively small, because I heard from his mother that he has never been in a relationship before."
Shu Qingqing was shocked: "Really? He's thirty years old and has never been in a relationship!"
Seeing her wide-eyed, shocked expression, and the lollipop she had just put in her mouth being taken out, Qiao Mei said helplessly, "What's the point of saying it's true or false? It's true that some people aren't interested in this. And you're one of them, you haven't even been in a relationship yourself."
