Chapter 379: My Husband Becomes a Campus God
The academic conference ended with thunderous applause.
Shi Runrun was still immersed in the shock and emotion she had just felt. There were still traces of tears in the corners of her eyes, and she felt a little dizzy.
Countless eyes were cast towards her from all around, some with envy, some with jealousy, and some with curiosity.
Several academic giants who wanted to chat with Xiao Xuezhen were ruthlessly separated by a tall and straight figure before they could get close.
Xiao Xue Zheng ignored anyone's advances. His deep black eyes only reflected the figure of one person from beginning to end.
He took long strides and walked straight to the podium where the spotlight was on, under the gaze of everyone in the audience.
Instead of walking towards the microphone, he walked up to the woman who was still standing there stupidly, crying like a kitten.
He said nothing, but took off his expensive handmade haute couture suit and gently draped it over her thin shoulders, wrapping her whole body in the clothes with his body temperature and familiar scent.
Then, he leaned over, and amid the exclamations of the crowd, he placed a precious kiss on that smooth and full forehead.
This kiss was without any lust, but full of silent comfort and domineering declaration.
He is using his actions to declare to the world that this woman is his.
In the lounge backstage, Shi Runrun had just taken a sip of water to calm his still pounding heart when Professor Chen Jingzhi and his favorite student Su Zhe caught up with him.
Shi Runrun's heart skipped a beat, and she subconsciously wanted to hide Xiao Xuezheng behind her, fearing that this academic master was here to call her to task.
But what she didn't expect was that there was no trace of accountability on Professor Chen Jingzhi's face. Instead, his wise eyes were filled with undisguised admiration.
"Mr. Xiao, I've long heard of you." Professor Chen offered his hand. "Your insights on modernism were truly insightful. Even I, an old man, benefited greatly from them."
Xiao Xue Zheng shook hands with him lightly, as a way of giving face to the elder.
"Professor Chen, you're overpraising me."
"No, no, no, that's not an exaggeration at all." Professor Chen waved his hand, his admiration growing even stronger. "I heard from Su Zhe that Mr. Xiao is a top graduate from Harvard. I wonder which great master he studied under? To be able to train a student like you, he must be no ordinary person."
"Self-study."
Xiao Xue Zheng uttered two words concisely and directly ended the conversation.
Professor Chen was stunned for a moment, and then the admiration in his eyes turned into amazement.
If one can reach such a level through self-study, he is no longer a genius, but a prodigy.
"Mr. Xiao, on behalf of Peking University, I sincerely invite you to serve as a visiting professor at our Faculty of Arts," Professor Chen said, his tone filled with sincerity and anticipation. "If your knowledge and insights are limited to the business field, it will be a great loss to the entire academic community."
Shi Runrun's heart was in his throat when he heard this.
Let Xiao Xuezheng come to Peking University as a professor? How will she survive in the school in the future?
She nervously and secretly tugged at the corner of the man's clothes under the table.
Xiao Xue Zheng felt her little movement, lowered his eyes, glanced at her, then slowly raised his head and looked at Professor Chen who was looking expectant, his tone as flat as if he was rejecting a small business that was not worth mentioning.
"Not interested."
He paused, stretched out his hand, and pulled the little woman beside him into his arms again. His deep black eyes finally showed a hint of emotion that others could understand.
"My only teaching duty is to guide my wife."
The next day, Xiao Xue Zheng became a complete deity at Peking University.
A post titled "On the Self-cultivation of a Domineering CEO: From a Financial Tycoon to an Academic God of War" was ranked as the most popular post of the year on the campus forum.
The post, with both pictures and text, describes in detail Xiao Xuezhen's earth-shaking debate to protect his wife at yesterday's academic conference.
His handsome and cool face, his masterly aura, and his final domineering declaration, "My only teaching task is to guide my wife," are regarded as classics by countless students.
The resounding title of "God of War" in the academic circle spread throughout the entire campus overnight.
As the woman behind the God of War, Shi Runrun's campus life has also undergone earth-shaking changes.
Wherever she goes, she is watched by crowds.
When she went to the cafeteria to eat, someone would secretly take pictures of her.
When she went to the library to read, a junior student would come up to her and excitedly ask, "Senior, does your husband still need students? The kind who have been to college and can write their own papers!"
What made her laugh and cry the most was that someone actually came to her with a small notebook and asked for Xiao Xuezhen's signature.
"Senior, we are all fans of Mr. Xiao! Can you help us get an autograph?"
Shi Runrun looked at the young faces in front of her that were full of admiration and expectation, and she was so embarrassed that she almost dug out a three-bedroom apartment on the ground with her toes.
She felt that she was no longer a student at Kyoto University, but the president of Xiao Xuezhen's fan club.
These days, where she is treated like a rare animal wherever she goes, make her feel troubled and helpless.
This afternoon, there was a public elective class.
Shi Runrun deliberately chose a seat in the corner to sit down, hoping to get some peace and quiet.
But not long after she sat down, a fresh figure with a faint scent of gardenia sat down in the empty seat next to her.
"Hello, Sister Shi, can I sit here?"
Shi Runrun turned her head and saw a pure and beautiful face.
The girl looked a year or two younger than her, with long straight black hair and a simple white dress. She wore little makeup, but her skin was as white as milk, and she exuded a clean and aloof scholarly air.
Shi Runrun recognized her.
Lin Weiwei.
A famous talented woman in the school and Professor Chen Jingzhi's most proud student, is said to have been admitted to graduate school in advance.
She is beautiful, comes from a wealthy family, and has good grades. She is the campus goddess in many people's minds.
"Of course." Shi Runrun nodded politely.
Lin Weiwei gave her a friendly smile, then took out her textbooks and notebooks from her canvas bag, and sat quietly without saying anything.
Shi Runrun thought it was just an ordinary encounter.
But she didn't expect that this was just the beginning.
After the class, Lin Weiwei did not ask her any questions like other girls did, or inquire about anything about Xiao Xuezheng.
She just listened to the class quietly and took notes seriously.
That calm and focused look actually made Shi Runrun feel a little favorable towards her.
When the get out of class was over, Lin Weiwei suddenly turned around and looked at her, with a hint of confusion on her face that was just right and had a hint of academic discussion.
"Senior Shi, I'm so sorry to bother you." Her voice was gentle and pleasant. "I'm currently researching a paper and have a question that I can't figure out. Could I ask you for advice?"
"I'm not worthy of your advice. Let's discuss it together." Shi Runrun replied politely.
"It's like this..." Lin Weiwei adjusted the non-existent glasses on her nose and spoke slowly.
She said a lot of professional things, and with her clear eyes, she just looked at Shi Runrun quietly, waiting for her answer.
The question she raised was extremely tricky and unpopular, far beyond the scope of knowledge that an undergraduate student should master.
Moreover, there was a faint, barely perceptible sense of superiority in her words.
It feels like it's saying: Would your husband discuss this level of issue with you?
Shi Runrun was stumped by the question on the spot.
Although she had read relevant books, she only had a superficial understanding of the theories of this profession and had not delved deeply enough to explore such issues.
Her cheeks began to heat up uncontrollably, little by little.
Around here, several students who had not left yet also noticed the situation and cast curious glances.
Those gazes, like tiny needles, pierced Shi Runrun's body, making her feel more and more embarrassed and awkward.
"No...it's okay." Lin Weiwei looked at her embarrassed look and said comforting words, but a hint of imperceptible pride flashed across the depths of her eyes.
"This question is indeed a bit difficult. I was too abrupt." She was understanding and prepared to end the topic.
But at this moment, Shi Runrun's cell phone, which was placed in the desk, suddenly buzzed and vibrated.
She took out her cell phone like a thief and took a look at it.
On the screen, there was a WeChat message from Xiao Xue Zheng.
Shi Runrun's heart skipped a beat.
She clicked on the message.
On it was a message sent by the man in his usual concise yet powerful tone.
【Tell her that her question itself is a false proposition.】
Her own opinions are full of contradictions. What else can you possibly explain?!
【Also, stay away from her from now on. 】
Shi Runrun was stunned when he saw the words on the phone screen.
He...how did he know?
How did he know what questions Lin Weiwei asked her?
She suddenly raised her head and subconsciously looked towards the back door of the classroom.
Behind the half-open door, a tall and straight figure, which was so familiar that it couldn't be more familiar, flashed by.
Shi Runrun's pupils suddenly contracted in an instant.
He...why is he coming to school again?
Didn't he say that there was an important meeting at the company today?!
