After school at noon, Zhong Yuxiu met Yan Rushan outside the school and told him about this; Haonan and Tian Shangguo followed them from a distance.
Yan Rushan's eyes were filled with ripples. "Just listen to part of what Principal Guo says. You're still young and at the age where you can and want to have fun. Don't push yourself too hard."
"I know, I will arrange my time well." Goudan has to guard the laboratory at home, and he cannot be brought to the school; there are few opportunities to use the school laboratory on weekdays, so he can also do research at home.
"It's good that you know what's going on." Yan Rushan kept the topic within a certain range.
After returning to the compound, Yan Rushan sent him home and couldn't help but remind him, "Take a break at noon to keep your brain clear."
"Well, Brother Yan, do you want to have dinner before leaving? Sister Li's cooking is pretty good." Since Yan Rushan is often bothered, he always has to give something in return, so having a meal is fine.
Seeing her sincere expression, Yan Rushan, who was originally planning to go back to eat, immediately changed his mind and said, "Okay, sorry to bother you."
Haonan and Tian Shangguo walked past them into the house, told Li Yun that Comrade Zhong had returned, and helped her bring the food to the table.
As soon as Yan Rushan and Zhong Yuxiu entered the main room, they smelled the fragrance of food.
"Brother Yan, please sit down first. I'm going to wash my hands." Pointing at the sofa, Zhong Yuxiu smiled and went to the bathroom. After a moment, she came out and bumped into Yan Rushan who was waiting outside. Zhong Yuxiu looked up and asked, "Brother Yan, do you want to wash your hands too?"
"Um."
"Then please come in, Brother Yan." He made way, walked around Yan Rushan and went straight to sit at the dining table.
Yan Rushan looked at her back with an unclear expression; he went into the bathroom, took a quick shower, and came out to sit side by side with Zhong Yuxiu.
Haonan and Tian Shangguo brought over the last two dishes. There were already five dishes on the table, and with these two, there were seven dishes in total, a combination of meat and vegetables. It was enough for five people, not too much, and they could finish it.
Finally, Li Yun brought the dishes and chopsticks from the kitchen.
Zhong Yuxiu personally took out a set and placed it in front of Yan Rushan, "Brother Yan, please have some."
"Thank you." Yan Rushan's heart softened, and the contours of his eyebrows and eyes softened visibly.
Li Yun saw this scene, lowered his eyelids, and sat down in the empty seat; Haonan and Tian Shangguo sat opposite Zhong Yuxiu and Yan Rushan.
Haonan and Tian Shangguo are used to eating fast and not talking; Li Yun eats slowly and is also the type of person who doesn’t talk.
Zhong Yuxiu wasn't one to start a conversation, so Yan Rushan picked up some food for her. "Comrade Zhong, the shredded pork is very tender and smooth. You should eat more. If you want to do research, you need to take good care of your body so that you can make more contributions."
"Just eat yours, no need to pick up food for me." She didn't have that habit.
Yan Rushan brought another piece of meat dish with chopsticks before he stopped.
After dinner.
After seeing Yan Rushan off, Zhong Yuxiu washed up and went upstairs for a nap; Li Yun cleaned up the dishes and went to meet Haonan and Tian Shangguo.
"Have you noticed that Mr. Yan's eldest grandson..."
Haonan nodded calmly, "Comrade Zhong is very outstanding, it's not surprising that someone likes him."
"Mr. Yan's grandson is too enthusiastic towards Comrade Zhong. I remember that he was not an enthusiastic person before." Tian Shangguo said.
"How can you pursue someone if you're not passionate about it?" Hao Nan rolled his eyes at him. He could see that Comrade Zhong was not a passionate person and was even slow in feelings. If Yan Rushan really liked Comrade Zhong and didn't pursue him passionately, he would have no hope at all.
Li Yun pondered, "Has Yan Rushan always liked Comrade Zhong? I remember the investigation said that they returned to the city from the same place."
"If she likes it, then she likes it. That's their business, not ours. Our mission is to protect Comrade Zhong's safety, and you are responsible for taking care of her food, clothing, and shelter."
"That's right." Li Yun put aside his worries. "Yan Rushan is a reliable man, a decent person. The grandson that Old Master Yan personally taught should be good."
Comrade Zhong is single, and if he can settle down in the Yan family, it would be a good home for him.
Zhong Yuxiu withdrew her mental power in a panic, her scalp tingling. She released her mental power to monitor Haonan and others; unexpectedly, she heard a piece of news that was like a bolt from the blue.
Yan Rushan actually likes her? !
The time she spent in the Yujia Production Brigade kept coming back to her mind. Yan Rushan was indeed gentler towards her than towards others. She didn't think much about it, and subconsciously thought that they appreciated each other. The two of them could go up the mountain to hunt, and dared to go up the mountain to hunt. They had more interactions and some common topics. They just admired each other.
Now that her throat was exposed, Zhong Yuxiu's throat moved slightly, as if something was stuck in her throat and she had difficulty swallowing.
I didn't sleep at all that night.
The next day, when Zhong Yuxiu saw the tall and graceful Yan Rushan at the school gate, her eyebrows jumped and she remembered what Li Yun and others said.
"Good morning, Comrade Zhong."
"...Good morning, Brother Yan." Zhong Yuxiu suppressed the embarrassment in her heart, "Brother Yan, are you waiting for someone here?"
Yan Rushan shook his head, "No, I just arrived too."
I believed your lies!
"I'm in a hurry to go to class, please do as you please, Brother Yan." Zhong Yuxiu remained calm and walked past him into the campus.
Yan Rushan was stunned by her sudden coldness. After not seeing her for one night, her attitude had changed and she was avoiding him.
After walking into the classroom and sitting down, Zhong Yuxiu forced herself to calm down, and suddenly found that she had lost her composure; when facing Yan Rushan, she actually lost her composure. Whether in ancient times, modern times or in the interstellar world, she had been pursued by many people, so why was it like this?
"Mr. Zhong."
"Ah?" Zhong Yuxiu responded subconsciously, her mind dazed.
Xu Hongqi patted her shoulder and said, "What's wrong with you? You look distracted."
"I was lost in thought." Zhong Yuxiu's heart trembled, and she said calmly, "Student Xu, do you want to talk to me about something?"
"Yesterday I saw you walking with a male classmate. Are you two dating?" Xu Hongqi blinked and teased ambiguously.
Zhong Yuxiu hurriedly shook her head, "That's not the case."
"Really?" Xu Hongqi smiled strangely, obviously not believing it.
Zhong Yuxiu couldn't help but hold her forehead with her hand. She must have been seen walking with Yan Rushan. "I really don't have a partner. I'm busy studying right now. How can I have the energy to find a partner?"
"Then you and him..."
"We used to be from the same place and came back from the countryside. He is older than me and takes better care of me..." The more she spoke, the more she couldn't continue. Should he take care of her just because he is older? No, his thoughts were so obvious, but she didn't notice it at all.
"Oh..." Xu Hongqi smiled, understandingly, "So he likes you and is pursuing you?"
Zhong Yuxiu gave him a gentle push and said, "Nonsense."
"Okay, okay, I won't talk nonsense. I just want to ask you, do you have any feelings for him?" Xu Hongqi lay on the table with a gossipy look, and their faces were very close to each other.
Did she feel anything? She probably did, otherwise why would she lose her composure?
Zhong Yuxiu remained silent for a long time. Xu Hongqi smiled and touched her shoulder. "It seems you're serious. I've seen him from afar a few times. He's a serious man, looking a bit serious, but he's even accommodating when we're together. He's obviously a cold and arrogant person, but when you two walk together, I feel that he's no longer cold and arrogant, and his whole body has become softer."
