Gou Laishun only went to the toilet for a short time. When he came back, Guo Ni, who was originally sitting opposite him, had become a man. He immediately went up to her and said, "Comrade, did you get the wrong bunk? This is my classmate's bunk."
The other person was about to fall asleep and was a little unhappy to be disturbed, but after hearing what the other person said, they still said good-naturedly, "I've switched with that woman. If you need anything, go find her."
Gou Laishun was taken aback. Seeing Professor Sun on the lower bunk, he immediately asked, "Professor, why isn't Guo Ni staying with us? What if she gets into danger somewhere else?"
"Gou, thank you for your concern." Guo Ni's voice sounded behind him: "I asked to change berths because my partner is also in this carriage. Besides, even if I were alone, I might not be the one in danger!"
When Gou Laishun heard Guo Ni's voice, he was initially delighted, but the content of her words made him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave. Although some people said that Guo Ni was already married, he felt that Guo Ni's husband was a rough country bumpkin who was definitely illiterate, unlike himself, who was a college student.
He figured if he just showed her some kindness, she'd definitely dump that brute and throw herself into his arms. They could even help each other out at school. Especially with this trip to Cangzhou for research and study, this was a perfect opportunity. So, he'd planned it all out; his time in Cangzhou would be the perfect chance to prove himself!
But her man had come along too. How was she supposed to behave? Gou Laishun looked at Qian Xiang with a somewhat gloomy gaze.
Qian Xiang noticed something was off about the man's eyes and his attitude towards his wife ever since he followed her into the car; he was too enthusiastic.
So when he saw him come back, he immediately brought his wife over, also to show her what kind of faces those men who had designs on her really had! Seeing that his wife had already taken down the man before he even went all out, he felt so good, he really wanted to hug and kiss her and lift her up high!
Guo Ni was a woman, and naturally she couldn't stand others treating her lover like that, so she said, "Gou, please take that look away. The way you're looking at my man makes me want to hit him and teach him a lesson!"
Gou Laishun was taken aback. What did Guo Ni mean? To discipline someone? Discipline whom? Me?
Professor Sun wasn't stupid; he could see that Gou Laishun was overly enthusiastic towards Guo Ni. This was the primary reason he agreed to let her go when he heard that Guo Ni's husband was also in the carriage. However, seeing that this student was so unreserved in front of the couple, he put an end to his relationship with Gou Laishun in his mind. In the future, if there was such an opportunity, this student Gou would not appear in his group again.
With so many people watching from outside the train carriage, Professor Sun wouldn't embarrass his students. He stood up and said, "Guo, is there something you need?"
Qian Xiang smiled and said, "Professor Sun, I just bought a boxed lunch and brought it to you."
Professor Sun was taken aback, not expecting Guo's partner to be so considerate. Although it was a classmate's kind gesture, as a teacher, he still said, "No need, we'll eat in the dining car later. You two don't earn money easily!"
Qian Xiang smiled and said, "Professor Sun, look, I've already bought it all. This is the last serving of braised pork. I asked Nizi to specially ask me to queue up and buy it for you. If you don't eat it, wouldn't it be a waste of her good intentions?"
When Professor Sun saw Guo Ni's bewildered expression, he immediately understood what was going on. He was very pleased; who wouldn't like their student to be closer to them, especially when the student's family member was so perceptive? His opinion of Guo Ni improved significantly.
It's true that there's no harm without comparison. Look at Guo Ni's lover, and then look at this gloomy-faced Gou Laishun. Sigh, any woman with eyes would know which one to choose!
At Qian Xiangqiang's strong recommendation, Professor Sun accepted the boxed meal. When he tried to give Qian Xiang money, Qian Xiang refused to accept it and left with his wife, leaving Professor Sun, who was still holding the money and marveling at what a good comrade he was, and Gou Laishun, whose face was practically dripping with ink.
Qian Xiang then took out a serving of braised pork and steamed buns that he had ordered at the state-run restaurant and started eating. He said, "When I went to queue up today, there was only one serving of braised pork left. If there were any left, I would definitely buy two servings."
Guo Ni looked at Qian Xiang, who was smiling and putting meat on her plate, and said, "I don't have much of a relationship with that classmate Gou. We only met during this trip to Cangzhou."
Qian Xiang nodded and said, "I don't care if it's a Gou classmate or a Zhu classmate, as long as my heart is with you, I'm not afraid of anything!"
Guo Ni smiled and her eyes narrowed when she heard Qian Xiang's words. She said, "I only called home to tell my parents when I got into university. This is my first time going home."
Qian Xiang said in a low voice, "My mother gave me some money this time so I could buy things for your parents. Qian Mao saw me off at the train station, and I also brought some local mountain products and specialties from our area. I can't let you down, my wife. Your third aunt used to ignore you, but now we'll make her regret it!"
Guo Ni chuckled upon hearing Qian Xiang's words: "Why does that sound so familiar?"
Qian Xiang also said with a smile, "This is what Duoduo always says. I remembered it and found it particularly inspiring. So I used it whenever I could. And let me tell you, all the young men in the village were as energetic as if they had been injected with chicken blood."
Guo Ni laughed. She said it sounded so familiar. A couple of days ago, when Jiang Sisi was half-dead, Qian Duoduo said the same thing to her. Then, as if she had taken a nutrient, the girl immediately recovered and went out with Qian Mao for another day. When she came back, she was the same little drama queen she used to be, but this drama queen was different from the one who would suddenly act crazy every now and then.
At least her actions were acceptable. In the past, Lu Fen and I would occasionally have to resort to force to threaten her, but now, as soon as the name Qian Mao is mentioned, she immediately becomes reasonable. Everyone was obviously relieved by this change!
Qian Duoduo had no idea about the sweet interaction between Guo Ni and Qian Xiang on the train. She was currently busy working in her paddy field because someone had dumped some high-concentration fertilizer into it, causing a third of the rice that had already sprouted to die.
This is why Qian Duoduo, who inspects the rice paddies every day, discovered it early; otherwise, many more would have died. After this incident, Qian Duoduo immediately reported it to Professor Yuan.
When Professor Yuan arrived at the paddy field and saw the scene, he was furious. He found several professors of agronomy to witness the event, and then he asked the security department to take samples. They also took samples of the water, soil and rice ears in the paddy field. After that, Qian Duoduo began to change the water.
