"Hello, professors."
He led Yan Rushan forward and greeted him first.
Yan Rushan bowed his head and said hello, "Hello, professors. I am Yan Rushan, Yuxiu's boyfriend."
The professors put down their chopsticks and looked over. Professor Ding said with a smile, "It's you! Come sit down and eat together."
"Okay." The two sat side by side in the empty seat next to each other.
Yan Rushan opened the thermos, took out the food inside and placed it in front of Yuxiu. He then opened the oil-paper package, revealing a roast duck and other meats such as beef and braised pork. Then, under the gaze of several professors, he pulled two pairs of chopsticks from the oil-paper package and handed one pair to Yuxiu.
Several professors: “…”
"You eat first. I'll go get some food. There's soup in the thermos." Yan Rushan stood up to get some food, but Zhong Yuxiu stopped him. Confused, he asked, "What's wrong?"
Zhong Yuxiu took out a few meal tickets from her pocket and gave them to him.
"I do." Yan Rushan shook his head and walked away.
When he came back again, he was holding two aluminum lunch boxes, which he borrowed from the canteen.
Each person had a lunch box, and there was a portion of rice in the thermos. Yan Rushan's eyes were gentle, unlike his cold and distant appearance to others. His gentle and caring heart towards Yuxiu was touching, and made several professors sigh silently that young people nowadays really know how to pamper their partners.
The food should be served personally, the chopsticks should be handed to the hands personally, and it should be gentle and without words.
"Professors, please try it too. It's fresh out of the pot and still hot." Yan Rushan said to several professors.
"I'm old and have trouble digesting meat. You guys eat it." One of the professors shook his head and refused.
Everyone except Professor Ding declined politely. These days, whether in the city or in the countryside, one cannot eat as much as one wants. How could they have the nerve to eat other people's good food?
Professor Ding chuckled and said jokingly, "You are all particular people, but I am not. Today, I have to take advantage of Comrade Zhong."
"Please, you're welcome." Yuxiu generously passed the meat to the professors. "Professors, please don't be polite to me. I will work with you all in the future. If you are too polite, I won't be able to ask you for help in the future."
The professors then remembered that Zhong Yuxiu was on the same level as them, both in terms of title and knowledge. They would all be working together in the future, so if they met, it wouldn't be a bad idea to share a meal with them. At worst, they could just invite her back later.
Having made up their minds, they have come to terms with it.
"Then we won't be polite to you and will just take advantage of your glory."
After the meal, their relationship became much closer, after all, they ate meat and vegetables from a thermos bucket; after the meal, Yan Rushan went to wash the lunch boxes and returned them to the cafeteria. Professor Ding and the professors were not in a hurry, as they all brought their own lunch boxes and it didn't matter when they washed them.
Professor Ding introduced them with a smile, "Yuxiu! You may not know them yet, so let me introduce them to you. The person across from you is Professor Feng Annan, and behind them are Cheng Guochao, Fang Ning, and Lin Ruxu. They've all studied abroad, and they each teach a class. If you have any questions, you can ask them. Brothers, please be attentive."
"It's my duty." Feng Annan's hair was gray, and his face was old. He smiled at Yuxiu and said, "Comrade Zhong, if you have any problems in the future, please come to me."
"Old Feng has said everything we want to say. Comrade Zhong, don't be afraid of bothering others. We old guys are old, but we can still help with some small favors." Lin Ruxu chuckled.
Fang Ning was a bit quiet, so he just nodded in agreement.
Cheng Guochao smiled elegantly, "We old guys don't have any other aspirations. We just hope that the younger generation can be like you, serving the country wholeheartedly and with all their heart and soul; to develop and strengthen our country, so that other countries will never dare to bully us again. We have witnessed the achievements you have made in the past year, and we admire you very much. If you have any questions, just tell us, and we will definitely help."
Supporting the talented young generation is also what they should do.
They are already old, and it is unknown how long they can live; the appearance of Zhong Yuxiu has given them a lot of hope, and even inspired them to think about living longer and cultivating more comrades like Zhong Yuxiu.
"Thank you all, seniors. If I do anything wrong in the future, please feel free to criticize me."
At this moment, Zhong Yuxiu was well-behaved and likable, and her words were pleasant, making the old professors very happy. When Yan Rushan came back and saw that they were having a great conversation, a smile appeared in his eyes.
"Comrade Yan is back. Let's go back. There's a lot of things to do." Professor Zheng stood up and said.
The others nodded, packed up their things and left the cafeteria together; this time they took Yan Rushan with them. After arriving at the meeting room, Zhong Yuxiu handed the list of medicinal herbs to Yan Rushan and asked him to help find them. Yan Rushan solemnly agreed and promised to find them as soon as possible and send them to her home.
Everyone had to mark the test papers. Yan Rushan was not from the physics department, so he took his leave as he could not help.
After seeing Yan Rushan off, the group started to work again. By evening, the daylight was covered with a layer of darkness, and everyone hoped to continue tomorrow, so they left work and left the school.
When Zhong Yuxiu walked out of the school, she saw Yan Rushan waiting for her in the cold wind. Even though the wind was cold, her heart was warm.
"Brother Yan, how long have you been waiting here?"
"Not long ago, just got here." Yan Rushan stretched out his hand, "If you don't believe me, touch it, it's still warm."
Zhong Yuxiu took a look and actually reached out to touch it. It was indeed warm. "You are so busy, there is no need to come specially to pick me up. Comrade Haonan and Comrade Tian Shangguo are here, they will protect my safety."
"I just came here after I finished my work." Yan Rushan lowered his voice unconsciously, and it sounded a little hoarse in his ears, but it was particularly pleasant to the ear, and every word seemed to tickle his heart.
Yuxiu's ears felt itchy, and she unconsciously stepped back a little, saying, "Let's go home."
"Okay, let's go home."
They walked in front, and the other two followed from a distance behind; they met up after entering the courtyard. When they returned home, Goudan had already prepared a meal, and the aroma of the food filled the air. Returning home in the cold winter, smelling the delicious food, they felt particularly warm.
When I walked into the hall, I saw a lot of things piled up in the hall, all covered with black cloth.
"Did you get it?" Zhong Yuxiu asked the man beside her, glancing sideways and raising her eyelids slightly.
Yan Rushan nodded. "Yes, it's what Comrade Hao and Comrade Tian wanted. There were few people around during the lunch break, so a few brothers and I brought some people to deliver it."
There were few people during lunch break and it was not noticeable. There was also something covering the area. People who could live in the compound understood the confidentiality mechanism. Seeing that it was covered with black cloth, they naturally understood that it was something they should not ask about, and even if they saw it, they would pretend not to see it.
Unless they have a grudge against the Yan family, of course, no one would cause trouble when they saw the young masters from other families were there.
What's more, the Yan family has no successor yet, and what will happen in the future is an unknown; even if they want to compete, they will not focus on the Yan family for the time being.
