Damian felt a little embarrassed by Wen Ruan's reply, but he still didn't want to give up, so he tried his best to maintain a smile: "Beautiful Chinese girl, I apologize for my rudeness just now, I hope you can forgive me."
"Perhaps you are right. There are many things I shouldn't learn about just by listening; I should experience them myself."
“If I have the chance, I will go to China to take a look, but I have some belief that a place that can nurture such a beautiful, lively and resilient soul as yours can’t be bad…” Damian replied earnestly.
Wen Ruan had no idea what had suddenly triggered him. Just a few minutes ago, the two of them were at each other's throats. How could someone change so much in such a short time? She was speechless.
But since they had already apologized and admitted their mistake, it would seem petty of me to hold onto the matter, so I could only give a simple reply: "I am Wen Ruan."
But these words seemed to encourage Damian, who became very excited and eager to start a conversation with Wen Ruan.
"Wen, when did you come to England?"
"What is China really like?"
Will you return to China later?
Are all Chinese girls as charming as you?
......
Wen Ruan was speechless, but to make matters worse, the teacher was late. As Aurora put it, "This professor is always late. For Teacher's Day, we're going to all give him an alarm clock, so we won't have to worry about him being late anymore..."
Faced with so many questions from Damian, Wen Ruan felt overwhelmed, but he was very polite and not at all aggressive like before, so Wen Ruan had no choice but to patiently respond to each one.
When the professor finally stepped into the classroom ten minutes late, Wen Ruan breathed a sigh of relief. She had never encountered a man who talked so much before; it was really a bit overwhelming...
After the professor entered the classroom, Aurora introduced him to Wen Ruan: "This is our professor of European Studies, Professor Oliver."
Wen Ruan felt a sense of familiarity upon hearing the name. After carefully recalling where she had seen the name before, she finally realized that he was her future master's thesis advisor!
While Wen Ruan was waiting to register for university, the secretary from the International Relations Department had already given her all the school's regulations and information about her graduate advisor. Wen Ruan had read them carefully at the time, but she hadn't quite grasped them yet.
Upon learning that the professor of her current course would be her future mentor, Wen Ruan looked up and observed carefully. According to Aurora, Professor Oliver was the youngest person in the entire school to hold the title of professor, and he was only thirty-six years old today.
He was wearing a white shirt with short hair, the sleeves rolled up on one arm and hanging down the other. His eyes were somewhat vacant, and he looked very tired. This completely overturned her impression of the British gentlemen who always dressed up carefully before going out.
But when she thought about how he was so young and yet had already obtained the title of professor, she realized that his research ability must be quite good. Wen Ruan immediately felt relieved and thought that after class, she would take the initiative to find Professor Oliver and get to know him.
But before the get out of class was finally over, Oliver, halfway through his lecture, finally noticed a girl with an unfamiliar Asian face in the classroom. Perhaps because he was so engrossed in the lesson, it was only just now that Oliver noticed her.
"Wen...Ruan?" Oliver stopped in front of Wen Ruan, his eyes fixed on her, his expression kind, and asked in somewhat uncertain Chinese.
“Hello, Professor Oliver, I am Wen Ruan,” Wen Ruan replied affirmatively.
“Oh my God, God has given me such a Chinese girl. Several of my colleagues have Chinese students, and they are all very diligent in their studies and have excellent grades. I am very envious…” Oliver said exaggeratedly.
All eyes in the classroom were on Wen Ruan, who felt incredibly embarrassed and could only try her best to maintain a smile.
“Oh, I’m so sorry, I was just too excited. We’ll have a more detailed discussion after class,” Oliver said to Wen Ruan.
Wen Ruan had no choice but to nod in agreement.
Soon after class ended, Wen Ruan told Aurora that she didn't need to wait for her, and then prepared to follow Oliver to the office.
As soon as she stood up, she needed to pass Damian and asked him to move aside, but Damian didn't move. Wen Ruan couldn't help but look at him questioningly.
Damian stood up abruptly: "Dear Wen, may I have the honor of inviting you to dinner?" She then bowed rather gentlemanly, extended her hand, and looked at Wen Ruan with hope, hoping that she would accept her request.
"..." Wen Ruan was speechless, wondering what was wrong with this Englishman. Had she really gotten the better of him? Why was he sticking to her like this?
But he replied verbally, "I'm very sorry, Damian, I need to talk to my advisor, and this is very important, it may affect my graduation."
Wen Ruan looked up at Oliver; thankfully, he was a bit slow and was still packing his things.
Wen Ruan silently prayed that Damian would stop dawdling, as it would be bad if he delayed her plans...
“It’s alright, dear Wen, I can wait outside Professor Oliver’s office. After you come out, we can go out for dinner together,” Damian insisted.
Wen Ruan looked at Aurora with pleading eyes.
At first, Aurora watched with amusement, her eyes teasing Wen Ruan. During class, she found it hard to believe how enthusiastic Damian was towards Wen Ruan.
Damian was a well-known playboy. Although he was sometimes annoying, his good looks and good family background still made many girls in school fall for him.
Although Damian loved to have fun, he never had much contact with girls and always hung out with his close friends. Often, people even suspected that Damian had some hidden hobby...
Who knew that as soon as Wen Ruan appeared, Damian started acting strangely, as if he had succumbed to Wen Ruan's charm so quickly.
Aurora looked at Wen Ruan with a mixture of teasing and deep admiration...
Seeing that Aurora was still oblivious and looking at him with that admiring expression, Wen Ruan felt a bit of a headache. Helpless, she kicked Aurora's shoe.
Aurora suddenly realized what was happening and said, "Damian, stop bothering Wen Ruan. We have plans for tonight. Wen Ruan said she's going to cook and take me to try some Chinese food."
Damian seemed even more excited after hearing this, looking at Wen Ruan with expectant eyes...
