Chapter 139
Hoping for the best, he finished explaining his plans for the next two days and casually asked, "The weather is getting colder and colder. Aren't you cold wearing such thin clothes?"
"I'm wearing a lot underneath," Jiang You replied instinctively, his mind processing the things he had arranged over the past two days. The hoodie was loose and oversized, so you couldn't tell that he had several layers underneath.
"Really?" Xiang Peiqing probed people by starting with trivial topics to lower their guard and gradually extract the answers he wanted.
He smiled and said, "The coat looks quite warm. I'd like to buy one for my sister too. Could you tell me where you bought it?"
Jiang You's fingers curled up. She remembered that the clothes she was wearing were bought by Xia Bei when he came to the school for an inspection. It was also the day she broke up with Xia Yan.
She didn't remember the shop.
As Pei Qing observed Jiang You's hesitant and confused expression, his heart sank completely.
If it was bought at a high price, it's impossible for them not to remember. If it was a gift from a friend, even if they don't remember, they'll openly say it was bought by a friend, and that they asked their friend on WeChat where the shop was and then told them.
Unless the dress was bought by a man, and not by his boyfriend, but by a female friend, Jiang You would not have seemed to want to say something but hesitated.
Xiang Peiqing gritted her teeth, her throat tightening, but her face remained smiling, showing no sign of anything amiss: "Forgot? It's alright, I was just asking casually. If you can't remember, forget it."
He quickly veered off the topic: "Can you write lesson plans?"
"It is possible..." But she is a Chinese literature major, and it's strange, why would they arrange for a physics teacher to tutor her?
The teachers who mentored Deng Huan all had expertise in their respective fields.
"It's alright, just follow the framework I wrote last time," Xiang Peiqing waved his hand and said, "It's all for the leaders to see, who would actually teach a lesson according to the lesson plan, right?"
After saying that, he winked at her. Seeing that even the big boss could slack off, Jiang You felt that the distance between them had suddenly decreased.
In fact, Xiang Peiqing is quite free every day. After all, who would put on airs in front of him and conduct spot checks on him?
Xiang Peiqing, who always slacks off and never prepares lessons, is now sitting quietly next to Jiang You, pretending to prepare lessons, his gaze constantly drifting towards the girl.
Seeing her bent over the table, diligently writing lesson plans and completely ignoring him, he felt a pang of sadness and subconsciously clenched the book in his hand, crumpling a page into a tangled mess.
What's there to write about? He leaned to the side and kicked the girl's chair leg.
Jiang You was startled and looked at the handsome man beside her. He looked up at her with a smile on his lips and said lazily, "I accidentally kicked it."
"Oh," she said without thinking much of it, "Teacher Xiang, do you think this way of writing is okay?"
Compared to his previous scribbles, this was much better. Xiang Peiqing stared at the notebook for a while, then nodded: "Okay, go to Building D and get the materials from Wen Shizhi first, then write it."
Jiang You, fearing he would forget, silently repeated "I'm leaving" several times.
On the other side, Xiang Peiqing twirled the lesson plan she had written with her fingertips, her gaze falling on the scattered handwriting on the paper.
He leaned closer, and the tip of his nose seemed to catch a very faint scent that belonged to her.
His fingertips trembled slightly, and he simply pressed the notebook gently against his face, lost in thought.
