Chapter 77 Lao Wang
Lin Xu's face instantly turned hot.
He hurriedly looked around.
Before anyone noticed, he lowered his voice and said, "Are you crazy? Stop it."
Zhou Yan placed his big palm on Lin Xu's leg, just enough to cover it, and the warmth quickly passed through the fabric to his skin.
Zhou Yan pinched it to satisfy his urge, then stopped at the right time.
A seemingly simple action made Lin Xu's face completely red and his blood pressure soared.
How is this different from flirting in public?
Lin Xu was worried yesterday whether Zhou Yan would reject his body, but now it seems that he doesn't have to worry about this anymore.
Zhou Yan pushed the water in front of Lin Xu and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "I just touched your leg and you got so nervous. I need to do something else. Do I need to put you on a heart rate monitor?"
Lin Xu was furious: "Is there anyone like you? You did it right outside, and you're not afraid of being seen."
"Oh~" Zhou Yan said with an expression of sudden enlightenment, "Then I can go home."
"That's not what I meant!" Lin Xu finally got angry and raised his hand to twist Zhou Yan's waist.
Zhou Yan let out an "ouch" and dodged for a moment, then grabbed Lin Xu's hand and begged for mercy: "Okay, okay, I was wrong."
Lin Xu then let go and shoveled the remaining noodles in the bowl.
Zhou Yan put the meat from his set meal into his bowl: "Eat more, there's not even two ounces of meat on your legs."
"It's enough that you are thick-skinned and tough." Lin Xu was fighting with Zhou Yan verbally, but he felt sweet in his heart.
Zhou Yan raised his hand and rubbed his head: "That's right, don't worry too much about what others think, just get along as usual. I know what you are worried about, don't worry, I'm here."
Lin Xu's nervous and flustered heart calmed down after Zhou Yan's comfort, and he nodded seriously.
Zhou Yan had a social engagement in the evening. After Lin Xu sent him to the hotel, he did not go home but went to have dinner with Chen Jinhe.
"Are you here to show off to me how good your brother Zhou is to you?" Chen Jinhe said sourly.
"No, he was nice to me before, and it's not much different now. There's nothing to brag about."
Chen Jinhe covered his chest as if hurt: "Be a human being."
The two found a place outside Chen Jinhe's school to eat, and chatted about the whole process of Lin Xu and Zhou Yan officially being together.
Chen Jinhe's eyes filled with tears when he heard this.
It’s not because I was touched, but because I was just too unlucky.
Lin Xu not only wanted to share his happiness, but also confided his work problems to Chen Jinhe.
"It's right for you to keep studying so that you can be less exposed to those messy things." Lin Xu complained.
"Come on, do you think school is easy? Our relationships with professors are no easier than in the workplace, okay?"
"Hasn't your professor always been very nice to you? He planned your postgraduate entrance exams for you, right?"
Chen Jinhe curled her lips. "It used to be fine. Who knows if it's because I've hit menopause early? Lately, she's always looking down on me, trying to find work for me and picking on me. It's so annoying."
"He's only in his early thirties, right? How can he be in menopause? Did you offend him?" Lin Xu helped him analyze.
"No. Oh, if there is, it's probably because I asked him for leave, but he hasn't approved it yet."
"Ask for leave? What do you want to ask for leave for?" Lin Xu had a bad feeling.
Chen Jinhe took a deep breath and said, "I'm going to go find him. I have to find out why he left without saying goodbye. Otherwise, I'll always be thinking about it. I can't just never fall in love again, can I?"
Lin Xu actually understands Chen Jinhe very well.
If I meet someone who leaves without saying goodbye, I would also like to find out what happened.
Otherwise it will always be a worry.
Once you have found the answers, you will feel at ease and can start your life over again.
Lin Xu slammed the table and said, "When do you want to leave? I'll go with you!"
Chen Jinhe was dejected: "I was planning to go there on the weekend, but that perverted Lao Wang wouldn't give me time off."
The perverted Old Wang that Chen Jinhe mentioned is his professor, Wang Xiu.
"How can he control you going out on the weekend? How come he's even stricter than when we were in college?"
"Who said it wasn't? He must have become a pervert because he's been single for too long. He looked at me like a thief and threatened to fail me in the final exam if I dared to leave school without permission." Chen Jinhe became angry when she spoke.
Chen Jinhe was also helpless. Whose graduate students had less freedom than high school students? Wang Xiu always found a reason to detain him in school and prevent him from going anywhere.
To put it nicely, he is a part-time assistant, not much different from a prisoner.
"Hey! Why is he still bullying others? I'll go with you to find him and argue with him!"
Chen Jinhe quickly grabbed him and said, "Hey, hey, calm down. You're no longer under his control after graduation, but I still have to live under his watch for two years. What good will it do me to offend him?"
Chen Jinhe was doomed to be defeated. He could only complain about him behind his back and dared not offend him in person.
At this time, Chen Jinhe's phone suddenly rang.
Chen Jinhe showed Lin Xu his phone and said, "Speaking of Lao Wang, Lao Wang is here."
After answering the phone, Chen Jinhe immediately changed his expression and said in a flattering manner: "Teacher Wang, what can I do for you?"
"I'm having dinner with a friend at the school gate. What friend? Lin Xu, the one you've met, my best friend in college. Yeah, okay, I'll be there after I finish eating."
After hanging up the phone, Chen Jinhe immediately started complaining again: "Isn't this another time to prepare for the new student orientation? And they're using me as a laborer."
Lin Xu thought for a moment and said, "I'll go with you and help you intercede. Maybe I can get you some leave."
"Is it possible?" Chen Jinhe expressed his disbelief.
"How do you know if you don't try? Let's go."
Lin Xu took Chen Jinhe and left.
It was late at night and there were only a few offices with lights on in the entire complex. The two men went up to the fourth floor and knocked on Wang Xiu's office door.
"Come in." A deep voice came from inside the door.
Lin Xu gave Chen Jinhe a look and followed him in.
Wang Xiu was stunned when he saw that Chen Jinhe did not come in alone.
"Lin Xu is here too."
When Lin Xu was in college, he always hung out with Chen Jinhe. Although he was not familiar with Wang Xiu, he had met him a few times.
"Professor Wang, I'm here to ask you for leave for Chen Jinhe. I want him to go out and play with me." Lin Xu said with a smile.
Wang Xiu looked at Chen Jinhe calmly, his eyes showing the clarity of someone who saw through everything, and a strong sense of oppression.
Chen Jinhe quickly lowered his head: "Well...we'll leave on Friday afternoon and be back on Sunday. It will definitely not interfere with our work."
Wang Xiu was silent for two seconds, then asked, "Are you going together?"
Lin Xu quickly assured him, "Yes, we'll go together. I promise I'll bring him back safely on Sunday."
"Okay." Wang Xiu finally agreed. "Xiao Chen has been in school and has little social experience. You should keep an eye on him."
"Don't worry!" Lin Xu almost wrote him a letter of guarantee.
Chen Jinhe turned his head away and complained in his heart: "Who can I blame for my lack of social experience? They don't even give me leave, how can I go out and interact with society?"
Lin Xu bumped his shoulder and said proudly, "It was my idea, okay?"
Wang Xiu looked at Chen Jinhe and gently squeezed the pen in his hand.
