Chapter 41 Teaching Assistant
◎The car overturned◎
After parking the car, they entered the house one after another. Jiang Siyue was thirsty, so she went to the refrigerator to get a drink.
"I waited all the way, but you didn't tell me."
Jiang Siyue stopped moving, turned her back to Zhao Yan, her heart beating faster and faster. Something in her heart was clamoring, as if trying to break free from the shackles.
After a moment, Zhao Yan's calm voice came again from behind.
"Why didn't you tell me when you were wronged?"
Something exploded with a "bang", but when I looked closely, there was not even any powder. My hands unconsciously grasped the refrigerator door, and I hesitated. I opened my mouth several times, but nothing came out.
Zhao Yan walked closer and gently took her into his arms.
Sensing a familiar and reassuring atmosphere, Jiang Siyue's nose felt sore and she said in a muffled voice, "Xia Qing told you everything?"
"Um."
Jiang Siyue buried herself in his arms, "It's not that I'm holding it back on purpose, I just hope that when you see the ring, it will be a pleasant surprise."
Zhao Yan paused patting his back, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
Jiang Siyue's tone was a little annoyed, and she muttered: "Xia Qing promised me."
"Yeah." Zhao Yan let go of her, used both hands to lift her up and put her on the table, the two of them looking at each other, "Before you said it, I didn't know about the ring."
Jiang Siyue was stunned. She had never expected Xia Qing to say it, but she hadn't said it completely. Now it was too late to save the situation. She had no choice but to give up and said, "Can you please forget it?"
Zhao Yan lowered his head and laughed, looking at her with curved eyebrows, "No."
Jiang Siyue let out a long sigh, pushed him away and prepared to get down, but was pushed back by Zhao Yan.
"I'm very surprised and delighted." Zhao Yan supported his hands at her sides. "Hasn't the effect been achieved?"
Jiang Siyue felt something was wrong, but couldn't put her finger on it, so she just said, "That's different."
"Yeah." Zhao Yan nodded. "It's different. I get more happiness and my gaze lasts longer."
Jiang Siyue couldn't argue with him and was a little angry, "What if I don't send you off?"
"Why?"
Jiang Siyue just said it casually, but Zhao Yan looked so serious. "If you don't want to send me off, then I won't send me off. There's no reason why."
"Okay." Zhao Yan didn't ask any further questions. What a pleasant surprise? He had already gotten it a long time ago.
Jiang Siyue pushed him away, quickly took the drink and ran away.
"How do you want the store's matter handled? An apology in person?"
Jiang Siyue paused and slowly tightened the lid. "No, I don't want to see her again. Just handle it according to your company's regulations."
"Okay." Zhao Yan walked to her side, bent down, took the drink from her hand and put it aside.
"I haven't finished my drink yet—hmm."
Zhao Yan leaned over and pecked her lightly on the lips, "The employee made a mistake, and the boss has to apologize."
"Is that the way you apologize?" Jiang Siyue blushed and went to hook her drink in a bad mood, but the next second she was pushed down on the sofa by Zhao Yan, and the troublesome pillow was thrown aside by him.
“Other compensation is also acceptable.”
Before she could say no, someone kissed her with their lips. She felt a chill on her shoulder and hurriedly held his hand, gasping for breath and saying, "No, I..."
Their lips were locked again, and when they were kissing passionately, they moved away. Zhao Yan whispered in her ear, his voice inexplicably gnashing his teeth, "No excuses will work today."
Jiang Siyue blinked and said, "I'm having my period."
Zhao Yan: “…”

After finishing her classes at Hua University, Jiang Siyue packed up and prepared to leave. Yue Huan had been sending her messages urging her to hurry over, as the new teaching assistant was treating everyone to dinner that evening.
Faced with Yue Huan's bombardment of emoticons, Jiang Siyue had no choice but to free up one hand and reply "right away".
As soon as I picked up my bag, my former classmate He Min came up to me and said, "Let's go together."
When I was working under Zhang Min'an, He Min and I were like sisters. He Min took care of all the chores for me and often ate together. They still had some friendship. I smiled and nodded in agreement, and the two of them left the classroom together.
"You're doing well at the University of Finance and Economics, right? Are you making a lot of extra money?"
"It's okay." Jiang Siyue thought for a while. Zhao Yan rarely asked her to do any work. "There's only one at the moment."
"I don't believe it." He Min curled her lips in a playful manner, but there was no malice in her eyes. "You drive a Mercedes to school now, and you wear better clothes than before. The most important thing is—"
He Min stopped and kept the question in suspense. Jiang Siyue looked at her cooperatively.
"I'm much happier now, and I always have a smile on my face."
"Is that so?" Jiang Siyue was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
"Yeah, it's much more relaxed." Zhu Min tilted his head back and thought for a while. "If you don't believe me, you can compare it with the previous photos."
Jiang Siyue nodded reluctantly and changed the subject, "You're not planning on getting a PhD, are you?"
"Of course!" He Min spat fiercely, "I'd rather be a slave to Zhang Min'an than work like a slave for him again."
Jiang Siyue nodded in agreement.
He Min: "I found an internship at Linglong Jewelry and have been working there for half a month. This company is pretty good. I have two days off and the get off work is not stressful. I am very satisfied."
"As long as you are satisfied."
"Oh, you'd never believe it. Li Shasha and I made it to the final interview together, and it was Sister Cha. Her resume was better than mine, and her performance was better than mine. I thought I'd have to find someone else, but in the end, she was rejected. I'm going to die of laughter."
An old memory flashed through Jiang Siyue's mind. When she moved out of school, she seemed to have asked Zhao Yan to blacklist Li Shasha... but Li Shasha's being blacklisted might just be a coincidence.
After saying goodbye to He Min, Jiang Siyue sat in the car and reported her recent research progress to her professor Gao Jianjun. She looked at Zhao Yan's profile picture and was reluctant to leave.
[Jiang Siyue: Do you still remember when I asked you to put my former roommate on Linglong's blacklist?]
Zhao Yan: Yes, there are records in HR.
I never expected that Li Shasha was rejected because of that incident. When I thought about Li Shasha being frustrated for once, I felt relieved.
[Jiang Siyue: If Li Shasha is better than the other applicants, wouldn't Linglong be at a disadvantage?]
Zhao Yan: The company had legitimate reasons for not hiring her.
【Jiang Siyue: What?】
【Zhao Yan: Insulting and bullying the boss lady.】
Jiang Siyue regretted asking this question.
After rechecking the seat belt, I drove to the University of Finance and Economics to be on duty.
On the second day of her period, the discomfort in her lower abdomen was much less, but she still felt heavy and bloated. After arriving at the office, Jiang Siyue found an empty mineral water bottle, filled it with hot water, and placed it on her stomach. The discomfort was much less.
Yue Huan and the others were all in class, and she was the only one in the office. Jiang Siyue turned off the cold air of the air conditioner, opened the window and lay down at the table. The wind blew in her face, carrying the unique dryness of summer, but at this moment, it was just the right warmth.
Out of the corner of her eye, she caught sight of the blue thermos on the table. It was a business trip gift Zhao Yan had given her this morning, telling her to drink plenty of water. The blue thermos had matching pull tabs on either side, printed with little rabbits in various poses, a playful, childlike quality.
No wonder he asked the salesperson to wrap it up, it turned out not to be jewelry at all.
Gently press the switch, the lid opens, and a plastic straw pops out.
"Such a childish thing, treating me like a child." Jiang Siyue muttered while lying on the pillow, "Also, can buying a sippy cup solve the problem of not liking to drink water?"
Turning it off and opening it, Jiang Siyue took a sip from time to time. After a while, the bottle of hot water was empty.
She was so drowsy that she fell asleep. When she opened her eyes again, Yue Huan pushed her awake and asked her to go downstairs to eat. Jiang Siyue, who was half awake, followed her downstairs. Yue Huan was chattering about something, and she only said "hmm" twice. In fact, she couldn't hear a word clearly.
When the elevator reached the first floor, the feeling of weightlessness made her almost awake. After yawning, she felt much more energetic.
"Both the first and second year graduate students are going. I remember you drove the car. I'll take yours later." Yue Huan stopped her from moving forward.
"Is it far?" Jiang Siyue rubbed her eyes.
“It seems a bit distant.”
Almost everyone had gathered, and there were many unfamiliar faces. Jiang Siyue was not a lively person, so after greeting everyone, she rubbed her stomach and stared blankly.
I refilled the water bottle with hot water, and the temperature was just right. Although I no longer felt uncomfortable in my stomach, I was still reluctant to throw it away.
After a while, Li Chuan arrived. Jiang Siyue still had nothing to say. Instead, Li Chuan seemed to be hesitant to speak. Jiang Siyue couldn't stand it anymore and asked him.
Li Chuan replied: "Xu Chu has returned to his country."
"Oh." So that's it. Jiang Siyue's eyes remained calm. "According to the time, he has indeed completed his graduate studies."
"You don't care at all?"
"Hmm." Jiang Siyue rubbed the bottle.
Li Chuan was silent.
The students around started to move around, calling out to Teacher Zhao one after another. Jiang Siyue also stood up and walked over. Looking over the crowd, she saw Zhao Yan and Xu Chu not far away.
"Hello, Teacher Xu."
"Hello, Teacher Xu."
“…”
So, the new teaching assistant is Xu Chu?!
Not far away, Zhao Yan and Xu Chu said something, and he nodded in agreement.
The blood in his body seemed to be frozen, and the bottle in his hand fell to the ground uncontrollably, making a noise.
Fortunately, everyone's attention was on the new assistant teacher, and no one noticed her loss of composure. After searching for a while without finding him, Jiang Siyue simply gave up looking and looked up to find Xu Chu's eyes looking at her.
Across the crowd, Xu Chu nodded his chin slightly, and Jiang Siyue pursed her lips and avoided his gaze.
Zhao Yan noticed him since he dropped the bottle just now, and he also saw the interaction between the two. He had read Xu Chu's resume and found that he and Jiang Siyue went to the same undergraduate school.
A senior who is two years older than her and is in the same major.
Jiang Siyue wanted to sneak into the car quietly, but was grabbed by Yue Huan and pulled in front of Zhao Yan and Xu Chu.
Xu Chu smiled slightly and stretched out his hand, "Siyue, long time no see." Xu Chu had read the information in advance and knew that Jiang Siyue was Zhao Yan's student.
Zhao Yan glanced at his outstretched hand.
Yue Huan was surprised by Xu Chu's familiar tone, "Teacher Xu, did you know each other before?"
"Yeah." Jiang Siyue interrupted, casually shook his hand and released it, explaining, "We used to go to the same school."
"Is that so?" Yue Huan didn't care any more. "Teacher Xu, everyone is here. When do we set off?"
"Right away." Xu Chu looked away. "The car I called will be in a few minutes."
Jiang Siyue: "I'll wait in the car."
"You drove the car?" Xu Chu was surprised.
"Yeah." Jiang Siyue pointed to the car behind Zhao Yan's and said, "That's it."
Xu Chu glanced at the car logo, nodded, and didn't ask any more questions.
"Senior sister, can I take your car?" Someone in the crowd asked, and Jiang Siyue hurriedly agreed.
"Eh?!" The junior student standing next to Jiang Siyue's car exclaimed loudly, "Senior sister, your car looks similar to the one Teacher Zhao had before!"
The author has something to say:
Teacher Zhao, when can we eat this meat? (Sighs)
