Chapter 375: I will personally supervise my wife’s thesis!
Shi Runrun's heart suddenly sank as she looked at the WeChat message on her phone that was almost bursting out of the screen.
【Go downstairs immediately!!!】
The three blood-red exclamation marks, like three sharp swords, pierced straight into her eyes with overwhelming rage and unquestionable orders.
She could even imagine through the screen how terrifying the man looked at that moment, as if a storm was about to break out.
"Um...Senior Su, I'm sorry, I have something urgent to do, so I have to leave first!"
Shi Runrun was so frightened that she didn't care about being polite. She grabbed the phone on the table, said goodbye to Su Zhe in a hurry, and then rushed downstairs with the heavy schoolbag in her arms without looking back.
Su Zhe looked at her fleeing back, was stunned for a moment, and a puzzled smile appeared on his face.
…
Shi Runrun ran all the way out of the teaching building.
The familiar black Bentley was indeed still parked in its original position, like a silent beast lurking in the dark.
She opened the car door and plopped in.
Only after slamming the car door did she finally dare to breathe.
But the next second, she regretted it.
The air pressure inside the car was so low that it seemed to freeze the air.
The man in the driver's seat remained silent. His handsome face was as dark as the bottom of a pot. He exuded a bone-chilling coldness that kept strangers away.
Shi Runrun subconsciously shrank towards the car door, and even her breathing became cautious.
"Um...why haven't you left yet?" She tried to break the suffocating silence, her voice dry.
The man didn't answer her.
He just glanced at her coldly, then stepped on the accelerator.
"squeak!"
The tires of the car made an extremely harsh friction sound on the ground, like a sharp knife, breaking the tranquility of the campus in the afternoon.
Shi Runrun was pressed hard against the seat by the sudden push on his back, and his heart almost jumped out of his throat.
"Drive slower!" she exclaimed.
The man still ignored her, and just controlled the steering wheel with an expressionless face, driving so fast as if he was in a desperate chase.
Shi Runrun knew that he was really angry.
Moreover, he was very angry.
"Xiao Xuezheng, listen to my explanation." She clutched the seatbelt in front of her, trying to make her voice sound calmer. "That Su Zhe, he's just the teaching assistant for our course. We..."
"Teaching assistant?"
The man finally spoke, but his voice was even colder than the wind outside the car, and was filled with thick, undisguised sarcasm.
He glanced at her coldly in the rearview mirror.
"Why do I see him looking at you more than at the blackboard?"
"And help you pick up the pen?"
He sneered, the sourness in his tone almost overflowing from the car.
"Why doesn't he just do your homework for you?"
Shi Runrun was so stunned by his unreasonable and heretical talk that he couldn't utter a word.
She finally realized that once this man became jealous, his rationality and logic would disappear completely.
"We just have an ordinary teacher-student relationship. Please don't let your imagination run wild, okay?" she argued helplessly.
"Does a normal teacher-student relationship require such closeness when talking? Does it require physical contact?"
"We didn't do anything!"
"I saw it." The man spoke briefly and directly blocked all her possible explanations with his so-called evidence.
Shi Runrun completely lost her temper.
She leaned back in her chair, watching the street scene rapidly receding outside the window, and gave up on communicating.
Trying to reason with a jealous person who is already angry is like talking to a cow.
The carriage fell into a depressing silence again.
The two of them fell into a cold war along the way.
After returning to the villa, Xiao Xue Zheng didn't even look at her. He walked straight up to the second floor with a dark face, and then locked himself in the study with a bang.
The huge sound of the door slamming seemed to shake the entire villa.
Sister Li and the servants looked at each other, each of them so frightened that they dared not breathe. No one knew what was wrong with this living devil.
Only Shi Runrun knew the truth.
She sighed helplessly, feeling both angry and amused.
This childish ghost.
Xiao Xue Zheng did not go downstairs during dinner.
Shi Runrun sat alone at the huge dining table, looking at the table full of sumptuous dishes, but she had no appetite at all.
She was a little worried.
Although this man was overbearing and unreasonable, she knew that he did all this simply because he cared about her too much.
In the middle of the night, Shi Runrun tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep.
The light in the study is still on.
He went in in the afternoon and hasn't come out since, without even having dinner.
Could it be that he is... so angry that he refuses to eat?
The more Shi Runrun thought about it, the more worried she became. Finally, she couldn't help herself and got up from the bed on tiptoe and quietly walked to the door of the study.
She put her ear to the cold door. It was quiet inside, without a sound at all.
Could he be in there, sulking and fainting?
Her heart tightened, and she carefully pushed the door open a little and poked her head inside to look.
Then, she was completely stunned.
There was no computer or files on the large desk in the study.
Instead, it is filled with various thick academic monographs that seem obscure and difficult to understand.
"Western Literary Trends and Evolution", "From Ancient Greece to Postmodernism: A Brief History of Literary Criticism", "Introduction to Structuralism and Semiotics"...
These are all reference books for her course "History of Western Literature" this semester.
The man she thought was sulking was now sitting at the desk, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed blue-light blocking glasses, with a serious look on his face, buried in a sea of books.
In front of him was a thick original English document, and next to it were several English-Chinese dictionaries that were almost as thick as bricks.
He held a pen in one hand and a mini electronic dictionary in the other, and while he was laboriously looking up words, he was also making densely packed notes in his notebook.
Under the dim light, his handsome profile looked particularly focused.
He looked serious yet a little clumsy, like a poor student who was cramming for an exam but working extra hard.
Shi Runrun's heart seemed to be hit hard by something.
It's sour, soft and swollen.
This fool.
He wasn't angry with her at all.
He was clearly angry with the teaching assistant and with himself.
He was trying to break into her world in his most clumsy, childish, yet sincere way, trying to regain his unique position in the field where she was best at.
Shi Runrun's eyes suddenly turned red.
She quietly closed the door and did not disturb the man who was working hard.
…
The next day, Su Zhe made an appointment with Shi Runrun to meet in the school library on the pretext of discussing the thesis proposal.
The two of them had just sat down by the window when Su Zhe opened his laptop, but before he could speak.
A tall figure, dressed in a neat black suit and emitting a powerful aura, appeared in front of them without any warning.
The entire library, which was originally a bit noisy, seemed to have been muted at that moment.
Everyone's eyes were focused on this uninvited guest.
There was no expression on Xiao Xuezheng's face.
He looked down at Su Zhe, who was in shock, and then threw the thick, brick-like original academic monograph in his hand on the table with a "bang".
He didn't speak a word of Chinese.
Instead, he pointed directly at the paper outline on Su Zhe's computer screen in impeccable English with a pure Oxford accent.
He pointed out the problems in Su Zhe's paper outline one by one with clear logic and sharp words. Each point was based on classics and hit the nail on the head.
Su Zhe was stunned on the spot. His sunny and handsome face turned liver-colored at a speed visible to the naked eye.
He had never expected that this man who looked like just a wealthy family member actually had such profound and terrifying academic background.
The ideas in his outline were all the result of his long research and he considered them to be very profound.
But in front of this man, she was criticized to pieces and full of loopholes.
The students around who were pretending to read but actually watching secretly were all dumbfounded.
Although most of them did not understand what Xiao Xue Zheng was saying, just by looking at his calm and composed demeanor as a master and Su Zhe's expression as if he was so devastated that he doubted his life, they knew that this was a one-sided and ruthless crushing.
After Xiao Xue Zheng finished speaking, he didn't even glance at the petrified assistant.
He just turned his head, pulled up Shi Runrun, who was also in a petrified state, and turned away.
After taking two steps, he stopped again. Without even turning his head, he said his last words in Chinese to the poor teaching assistant behind him.
"I personally supervised my wife's thesis."
"You, your level is not enough."
After saying that, he took Shi Runrun and walked away under the gaze of everyone in the library, leaving behind a cool and extremely annoying back.
