Chapter 28 Popular styles suit everyone
The next second, another message came in.
[Su Wanwan: You truly have a deep love for the school]
Xie Yanning smiled and simply made a voice call to Su Wanwan.
Su Wanwan: "..."
I answered the call.
Xie Yanning's slightly magnetic voice came from inside, "Why don't you look up, to the twelve o'clock direction?"
Su Wanwan looked up and, with her excellent eyesight, immediately spotted Xie Yanning by the window.
"..." Su Wanwan: "Professor Xie, you seem to have a lot of free time."
"Yeah, I'm so frustrated by the students' papers," Xie Yanning complained bluntly. "I think I need a cat to soothe myself."
"..." Professor Xie, do your students know that you're criticizing them like this?
Su Wanwan looked down at Yuanxiao and said, "You're doing pretty well; a handsome guy actually came to you."
Xie Yanning laughed out loud on the other end, and Su Wanwan felt her ears getting hot.
"Wait for me a moment, I'm coming downstairs."
"……good."
After hanging up the call, Su Wanwan led Yuanxiao to a chair to the side, saying, "Your favorite male god is here."
Su Wanwan had long ago noticed that Yuanxiao, that lecherous cat, was quite fond of Xie Yanning.
Wow, amazing! Even in the cat world, looks matter.
Su Wanwan had a rich inner world until she was interrupted.
"Wanwan."
Su Wanwan turned her head and saw Xie Yanning coming downstairs in a light khaki trench coat. He was tall and elegant, and he looked like he was glowing.
There are some people who can attract everyone's attention just by standing there.
"..." Su Wanwan lowered her eyes and glanced at her outfit.
Well, unfortunately, she was also wearing a light khaki trench coat today.
Xie Yanning noticed her gaze and smiled, "We're dressed quite similarly."
“After all, the mass-market style suits everyone.” Su Wanwan’s eyes were sincere.
But whether you can make a common style stand out really depends on the person.
Xie Yanning and Su Wanwan are both quite tall, and when they stand together, they look quite pleasing to the eye, like a young couple.
Su Wanwan noticed some stares.
"..."
After National Day, the weather really got colder day by day. If it weren't for the weather being so unbearable, she would have taken off her coat.
"Want to look around?" Xie Yanning looked at the familiar campus surroundings. "You've probably never been here before, have you?"
“That’s not quite true,” Su Wanwan said, pulling Yuanxiao along and ignoring Yuanxiao’s shameless steps toward Xie Yanning. Her tone was even a little proud. “My cousin also graduated from this university. After all, it’s the highest institution of learning. Our family was so happy. Almost our whole family came to his graduation ceremony.”
"It seems your family really likes this school." Xie Yanning's eyes flickered with some inexplicable thoughts, and she was still somewhat unwilling to give up. She asked, "The school next door is also a top-tier institution of higher learning, and its medical school is one of the best. Why didn't you go there?"
Why did you break your promise so easily?
Su Wanwan was incredulous; she looked at Xie Yanning with slight shock.
How dare you ask why?
She stammered, as if a fly was stuck in her throat, unable to utter a single word in rebuttal.
No, is she just a part of his and Zhang Yunqing's game? Does he just go next door and watch them being all lovey-dovey every day? Doesn't he ever consider her feelings? Can't he be a decent human being?
There's a saying online: "If someone is passionately devoted to you, how can you not feel it?" With Xie Yanning's intelligence, how could she not see her feelings? Was she very reserved back then?
Oh, no, there are plenty of people who like Xie Yanning.
He can't just keep refusing every single day.
After all, he's a university genius with central air conditioning.
Su Wanwan almost coughed up blood.
Seeing Xie Yanning's genuinely puzzled look, Su Wanwan desperately suppressed the blood welling up in her heart, "Thinking about it, I still prefer places where it's spring all year round."
Indeed, there are very few cold days in the port city throughout the year.
Xie Yanning didn't say anything after hearing this; how could she not tell that it was just a perfunctory remark?
If it really is because of the climate, then why come here to work after so many years?
Doctors in the port city have high salaries and good benefits, and her parents are there too. From any perspective, that's the best choice for her. Why did she come back after so many years?
"As for why I ultimately chose to work here, it's because there are more opportunities to come into contact with different cases here," Su Wanwan explained automatically.
There are too few people in that port city.
This place is practically the last resort for people across the country; if this place doesn't work, then there's basically no hope left.
Will you go back in the future?
Xie Yanning asked seriously, and Su Wanwan looked away uncomfortably. "Who knows? There are still decades to go."
Xie Yanning didn't speak, and Su Wanwan asked, "Won't this interfere with your work?"
Upon hearing this question, Xie Yanning remembered that the students would be coming over later.
"..."
"..."
Su Wanwan: "Otherwise, you can go back first, and I can wander around by myself. There's no need for you to be such a good host."
"Okay." Xie Yanning sighed almost imperceptibly.
Since both of them agreed, they didn't consider whether Yuanxiao would agree.
Seeing Xie Yanning turn to leave, Yuanxiao screamed pitifully. She could barely manage to jump up and brush against his trouser leg before, but she couldn't let him leave.
They were throwing themselves forward without a care in the world, risking having their necks snapped.
Su Wanwan was about to lose her temper. "Can't you be a little more reserved?"
Xie Yanning thought for a moment and said, "Why don't you go up and stay for a while?" He glanced up and saw that it was three o'clock in the afternoon, when the sun was at its strongest. "Come down when the sun isn't so intense."
"Won't this bother you?"
The strong sun isn't a problem at all; just find some shade.
Xie Yan's central air conditioning was so warm it even reached the cat; Su Wanwan was impressed.
When they went up, they happened to see several students standing in front of Xie Yanning's office.
They greeted him in unison: "Professor Xie."
Then, his gaze uncontrollably and very subtly drifted towards Su Wanwan.
One of the bolder students asked, "Professor Xie, who is this?"
Xie Yanning turned her head slightly to look at Su Wanwan, and said succinctly, "Classmate."
"Senior Sister?"
“Oh, no,” Su Wanwan quickly denied, “I can’t get into your school.”
Xie Yanning didn't want to say too much, "Let's go in."
The students didn't dare ask too many questions and could only suppress their curiosity and follow them inside.
There was even a woman with Professor Xie; I almost thought he didn't like women anymore.
The Lantern Festival followed closely behind, as if afraid of being a step behind.
The school has regulations on office size based on rank. Professor Xie is only an associate professor, so his office space isn't very large. Besides his desk, there's only a sofa and a small coffee table next to it.
There weren't enough seats, so Xie Yanning arranged for Su Wanwan to sit in her own seat, saying, "You can sit here for now."
The table was already clean, and Yuanxiao jumped onto it without hesitation.
Su Wanwan: "..."
This cat has me completely under its thumb.
Yuanxiao meowed softly and wagged its tail in Xie Yanning's direction, looking very content.
Xie Yanning felt that this little girl looked somewhat like Su Wanwan.
Xie Yanning smiled and poured Su Wanwan a cup of tea.
