Xu Ruantang laughed and said, "Take it, of course I'll take it. Deputy Battalion Commander Lu has already given you his dowry. If he can't find a wife in the future, he'll probably come back to you!"
The two chatted and laughed in front of them.
Lu Shishen stared at Wang Xiuxiu from behind.
She had never laughed so happily when she was with herself.
She has a really beautiful smile.
She was as radiant and beautiful as a rose, the most beautiful person Lu Shishen had ever seen in his life.
......
Xu Ruantang and Wang Xiuxiu talked for a long time at the gate of the compound before reluctantly parting ways.
Chen Ji came over with an umbrella, and she followed him home.
As soon as Chen Ji reached the entrance of their alley, he spotted the person standing in front of the door.
Although most of his face was covered by the umbrella.
He still recognized him.
Chen Ji frowned slightly, unable to guess what he had come for.
Xu Ruantang obviously saw it too.
She linked arms with Chen Ji and called out in that direction, "Li Shuyang?"
Li Shuyang raised the umbrella in his hand, revealing his youthful face, and smiled slightly, "Third Brother, Third Sister-in-law."
The distance between them closed quickly. Chen Ji glanced at him and said, "Come inside."
It's raining outside; this isn't the time to talk.
Li Shuyang nodded, somewhat hesitant to look Chen Ji in the eye, "Okay."
As soon as she entered the room, Xu Ruantang poured three cups of hot tea.
She placed a glass on the table in front of Li Shuyang and handed another glass to Chen Ji.
Holding her own glass, she asked Li Shuyang, "How's your sister doing lately?"
Li Shuyang laughed and said, "It's great. She goes out early and comes back late every day to date and is always sticking to her future brother-in-law."
Xu Ruantang laughed along, then quickly glanced at Chen Ji, whose expression seemed a little off, and said helplessly:
"You two continue chatting, I'll go upstairs first."
Xu Ruantang thought Li Shuyang had come to see Chen Ji.
"Third Sister-in-law, I...I've come to see you."
Li Shuyang hesitated somewhat, after all, Chen Ji was still beside him, and had once bluntly seen through his thoughts.
Fearing Chen Ji might misunderstand, Li Shuyang quickly added, "Our dean is going to participate in an international competition, and we don't have enough assistants. I wanted to ask if you'd be willing, sister-in-law."
This time, a senior student had an unexpected accident, and the previously selected replacement teacher in the department either had other assignments or classes to teach.
Li Shuyang never expected Xu Ruantang at the time.
It was their dean who came up with the idea, tentatively asking him if he could contact the student who had helped them out of trouble at the Xifosi Market.
Li Shuyang agreed without hesitation.
This is an opportunity.
If Xu Ruantang wins a prize in the competition, she might be able to get into their college through a special admission program.
Even if things don't go well, it will still be an honor to talk about it later.
Xu Ruantang was speechless.
She wouldn't even dare to think about such a thing.
Even in later generations, she was still just a student who hadn't even finished university.
Painting is just her profession.
She hasn't even participated in many competitions.
Moreover, it's an international competition.
Xu Ruantang subconsciously looked at Chen Ji, who met her gaze and smiled slightly: "Go ahead."
He gave his answer very quickly.
With Chen Ji's support, Xu Ruantang was no longer afraid.
She asked Li Shuyang many questions about the competition and things to be aware of.
Before leaving, Li Shuyang added, "Third Sister-in-law, tomorrow morning at eight o'clock, all the teachers and the dean participating in the college's competition will gather in the first teaching building. I'll come pick them up..."
"No need, I'll take her."
Chen Ji suddenly spoke up.
Li Shuyang nodded awkwardly, "Okay, then I'll be going."
As soon as the door closed, Xu Ruantang was pinned against it by Chen Ji.
A light drizzle was still falling. Xu Ruantang found him inexplicable and looked up to ask, "What did you do wrong...?"
Before he could finish a sentence, he was swallowed up by a barrage of kisses.
Her legs went weak from Chen Ji's kisses, and in her dazed state, Chen Ji picked her up and carried her into the house.
It was still daylight.
Chen Ji ignored it all.
He was fiercer than ever before, and completely ignored Xu Ruantang's pleas for mercy.
He didn't even try to comfort her anymore.
Xu Ruantang was filled with complicated emotions, and she couldn't understand why Chen Ji had suddenly become inhuman.
Although she was happy, she had to go to school tomorrow!
Leaving aside whether she can get up early, it's questionable whether she can even lift her legs. If anyone notices something is wrong, she might as well not live anymore.
"You...you get out..."
Xu Ruantang tried to push Chen Ji away, but he grabbed her wrist and lifted her up with one hand.
"Honey, I'll go with you tomorrow, okay?"
Chen Ji's deep voice is captivating.
He knew Xu Ruantang's weakness, and with a lowered head, he took her earlobe into his mouth.
Xu Ruantang's mind went blank, and she answered weakly, "Okay."
"I'll go with you from now on."
Chen Ji repeated these words to her over and over again.
Xu Ruantang fell asleep from exhaustion.
She kept repeating this phrase in her dreams.
Chen Ji was in charge of the aftermath.
He looked at the person sleeping soundly in his arms, his narrow eyes slightly narrowed, and he held the person tightly with a strong sense of possessiveness.
I'm so glad he met her first.
Every time Li Shuyang appeared, Chen Ji felt a sense of crisis.
Chen Ji is not anxious about money, wealth, knowledge, appearance, or anything else.
The only difference is that he is not as young as Li Shuyang.
Xu Ruantang sometimes jokes with Chen Ji, saying that there is a generation gap every three years. He is eight years older than her, so that's roughly three generation gaps.
That's an insurmountable chasm!
Li Shuyang and Xu Ruantang are about the same age.
That's not all; to make matters worse, Li Shuyang and she both studied painting and had endless things in common to talk about.
"Common language" was also a term Xu Ruantang had used to describe him.
