Chapter 423 An Unexpected Encounter



To be honest, both of them looked somewhat surprised, because they really didn't expect to run into Zhou Changgui at this time.

Having already known what kind of person Zhou Changgui was, Jiang Sheng's first reaction upon hearing Zhou Changgui's voice behind him was whether the other party was deliberately following them or had encountered them by chance.

Or perhaps, just as Zhou Changgui said, he came to the school gate specifically to find them, and just happened to run into them?

The more Jiang Sheng thought about it, the more he felt something was off. He subconsciously glanced at Zhao Xuehui, but Zhao Xuehui gave him a reassuring look, patted his arm, and turned around with a smile.

"Oh, it's Teacher Zhou," Zhao Xuehui greeted Zhou Changgui with a smile, just like always. "What a coincidence to run into Teacher Zhou here."

After saying that, without waiting for Zhou Changgui's reply, she glanced curiously at Jiang Sheng beside her and asked, "Teacher Zhou, did you come here specifically to see my brother?"

Zhou Changgui was slightly taken aback at first, but when he looked at Zhao Xuehui, who was smiling in front of him, he nodded subconsciously.

Remembering his main purpose for coming here, and recalling the scene of Zhao Xuehui and Jiang Sheng laughing and talking in the coffee shop, Zhou Changgui suppressed his anger, put on a smile, took a few steps forward, and stood in front of the two of them.

"Yes," Zhou Changgui nodded with a smile, looking at Jiang Sheng with enthusiasm: "I came here mainly to see you, Xiao Sheng. Do you mind if I call you that?"

"I don't mind."

If the other party can act, Jiang Sheng is naturally even better at it. He nodded with a smile, his face showing a hint of curiosity.

"I am flattered that Teacher Zhou would call me that, but if possible, it would be more affectionate for Teacher Zhou to call me Xiao Jiang."

After a pause, looking at Zhou Changgui in front of him, who clearly didn't like him but could only pretend to smile, Jiang Sheng simply raised an eyebrow slightly.

It must be admitted that Zhou Changgui's acting skills are not bad, at least comparable to those two other scumbags.

At least in my past life I completely fooled my second sister, but today is a good day.

Since the other party has taken the initiative to deliver himself to him, if he doesn't try to trick them, then he'll have wasted this second chance at life.

Zhao Xuehui, standing next to her, could hardly contain her anger. However, thinking of how Zhou Changgui had acted as a gentleman in front of her before, she smiled more and more as she thought about it, and added a comment from the side.

"Teacher Zhou has excellent writing skills, especially his poetry. Xiao Sheng, you should learn from Teacher Zhou. You'll definitely learn a lot from him, okay?"

Zhao Xuehui spoke earnestly, successfully pleasing Zhou Changgui who was standing next to her.

Although he could sense that Zhao Xuehui was avoiding him recently, and that she was no longer as relaxed and carefree as before.

However, he believed that anything was possible with human effort, and besides, he and Zhao Xuehui had been friends for two or three years.

He simply didn't believe that Jiang Sheng's sudden appearance would shatter their friendship of more than three years.

Moreover, Zhao Xuehui already had some feelings for him.

He believed that as long as he worked hard and made a greater effort to make himself known to Zhao Xuehui, she would eventually reconcile with him and at least would no longer be deceived by Jiang Sheng!

Thinking of this, and seeing Zhao Xuehui's ever-present smile, Zhou Changgui cleared his throat and spoke first.

"Xuehui, what you're saying is really an exaggeration."

Zhou Changgui smiled modestly at the other party and said, "I was just thinking that Xiao Jiang is still a college student and has such excellent grades. If she can write a good poem, she will definitely be well-received at school."

"Although my abilities are limited, I am willing to teach as much as I can within my limited capabilities. I can also see Xiao Jiang's intelligence and talent. I am thinking that if there is an opportunity, I would like to discuss and learn from you with you. I am sure that I will benefit a lot."

After Zhou Changgui uttered his humble words, he immediately looked at Zhao Xuehui standing next to him, his face bearing the same shy and modest smile as before.

He knew that Zhao Xuehui liked humble people. As long as he maintained his personality as before, Zhao Xuehui would definitely not think about what happened before and would think that it was an unintentional mistake.

Sure enough, as soon as he said that, Zhao Xuehui looked at Zhou Changgui with eyes full of admiration and respect.

"Teacher Zhou, I didn't expect that you would become more and more humble since I last saw you."

Zhao Xuehui looked serious and sincerely praised, "I did misunderstand you before. Xiaosheng has been thinking about it these days. I hope to find an opportunity to have a good discussion on poetry with you, Teacher Zhou. We can exchange ideas and spark some new ideas."

When Zhao Xuehui took the initiative to say this, Zhou Changgui's eyes lit up immediately.

This is really great; someone even offered him a pillow when he was sleepy.

He was wondering how he should bring it up when Zhao Xuehui took the initiative to bring it up for him.

After all, there had been some unpleasantness between them back then. Although their relationship had been mostly repaired, he was still afraid that Zhao Xuehui would be offended if he brought up anything related to poetry, and that the previous incident would create another rift between them.

Unexpectedly, the other party not only acted as if nothing had happened, but also took the initiative to bring up the matter. This made Zhou Changgui feel excited, and his smile became more and more enthusiastic.

"Since you've brought it up, Xuehui, I'd like to find an opportunity. How about the three of us exchange ideas on poetry? I know you love poetry too, Xuehui. If the three of us discuss it together, we're sure to spark even more inspiration!"

With Zhao Xuehui setting the stage, Zhou Changhui spoke these words with remarkable ease, directly stating his primary objective.

Looking at the other person's smile, so humble, Zhao Xuehui felt utterly disgusted.

If it weren't for cooperating with the other party, Zhao Xuehui would probably have vomited by now.

"OK."
