Song Shixia laughed dumbly after receiving the call. She finally had to confess. She had thought about it several times before but didn't know how to start. Ji Weiqing was their role model, and no matter how she phrased it, it seemed like she was deliberately showing off.

This time it was a blessing in disguise, as it saved her from having to find excuses to confess.

Song Shixia left the company, and in the trunk of her car was a box of fruit that Yao Xue had given her. She said it was specially shipped from the south to the inland, and it was a New Year gift prepared by Uncle Yao for her family.

The girls sitting in a row on the sofas in the living room were as obedient as quails. Their only movement was to pick up the cup and take a sip of water. The current hit TV series was playing on TV, but they sat there on pins and needles, unable to concentrate and not daring to glance around.

The two cubs were taken to the study upstairs by their father to ask about the whole story. Han Rong turned on the TV so that the girls could watch some TV programs to relax. She and the nanny were washing cabbage and green onions in the kitchen. They made dumplings because there were more people at home today. There happened to be fresh pork in the refrigerator.

Hearing the sound of a car driving into the yard, Ding Jiajia subconsciously wanted to stand up and take a look, but Hao Guihua pulled her back.

Han Rong looked out the kitchen window into the yard and shouted to the girls in the living room,

"Xiao Song is back."

Several girls stood up and ran to the yard to greet Song Shixia.

They were stunned when they saw Xiao Xia get out of the driver's seat.

Zheng Lingling exclaimed: "Xiao...Xiao Xia? You can drive?"

Song Shixia did not hide the fact: "I got my driver's license right after the college entrance examination. This car was given to me by my brother as a reward for my admission to university."

Everyone didn't know whether to be sad that Xiao Xia got her driver's license right after the college entrance examination, or sad that she had a car.

Ding Jiajia walked up and touched the hood of the car.

"Your car is really nice. There are only black cars on the road."

"Yes, your car looks like the foreign cars in the movies."

Song Shixia smiled and said, "I asked someone to buy this car from abroad. It might be the same model you saw in the movie."

After the girls calmed down, they realized the difference between them and Xiao Xia. On the surface, Xiao Xia was a college student like them, but it seemed like they were from two different worlds.

They suddenly felt that the gift they brought was a bit embarrassing. As expected, Xiao Xia was Professor Ji's wife. Professor Ji had studied abroad for many years, so Xiao Xia must be well-informed. The canned food they bought was only a few dollars.

Hao Guihua and several roommates looked at each other and stood up. "We have something else to do. We just came to say goodbye to you today. We bought train tickets to go home the day after tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."

Song Shixia smiled bitterly helplessly. She had long expected that once these girls discovered the gap between them, they would immediately distance themselves from each other.

"Let's eat before we go. My mom said we'll make dumplings and steam them today. Xiao Guo, you'll need a whole day and night to get home after changing trains, right? And Lingling and Guihua don't live close to you. Are you going to eat cold steamed buns after a 10-hour train ride?"

Song Shixia decided to take these girls back home for ideological education.

Chai Shanjing said awkwardly: "Should we call you Xiao Xia or should we call you Master's wife?"

Several girls had the same idea. If Xiao Xia was just from an ordinary wealthy family, they could still play and joke together. They could even talk and laugh with Professor Ji's wife, but they really didn't dare to do that.

Song Shixia rubbed his temples with a headache.

"Come in and sit down and talk. The cold wind outside is giving me a headache."

The roommates followed Song Shixia like students waiting to be criticized by the teacher.

Everyone sat on the sofa, and Song Shixia asked her mother-in-law and the nanny to take the fruits down from the trunk.

There were only a few girls from the dormitory in the living room. Song Shixia spoke slowly.

"We are roommates and friends. That's why I kept it a secret from you. I was afraid that you would distance yourself from me if you knew my identity. I never thought that this day would come."

Song Shixia pretended to be disappointed: "Except for the fact that I am Professor Ji's wife, which I have kept from you, don't we all know each other well?"

Ding Jiajia was the first to soften her heart.

"I believe you, but we can't change it all at once. I still haven't gotten over the fact that you are Professor Ji's wife. It feels so fuzzy and unreal."

Chai Shanjing stared at Song Shixia: "Why did you pretend that you were unfamiliar with the professor before?"

Song Shixia smiled bitterly and said, "Professor Ji and I were married through a blind date. I only knew that he was a university professor and nothing else. If you hadn't told me that he was on the same celebrity list as Einstein, I really wouldn't have known that he was my husband."

Zheng Lingling covered her mouth in disbelief.

"You are getting married blindly! What if Professor Ji is a bad person? What will you do?"

Song Shixia was relieved that her roommate's first reaction was to consider her.

"I was young and had a strong admiration for intellectuals. Professor Ji was already a great university professor. He was so young that he might become the dean in the future. He was also handsome."

After Song Shixia finished speaking, she lowered her head shyly. The girls understood instantly. They thought there was some reason why Xiaoxia married Professor Ji, but it turned out to be simply because of his high education and good looks.

Ding Jiajia reacted belatedly.

"Last time, Professor Ji noticed our little trick and saved my face, so he let Jingjing answer the process of solving the problem?"

Song Shixia had never asked about this, but since his roommate asked, the answer must be yes.

"Yeah, he can't make things difficult for you if we sit together."

Song Shixia's half-believing and half-doubting attitude made the girls completely relieved. It seemed that Xiao Xia was as nervous as they were facing Professor Ji, and they thought that Professor Ji's wife would be mature and stable.

Hao Guihua leaned against the sofa without any image.

"Okay, okay, now I feel relieved. Xiao Xia is still the same person. Professor Ji's wife just gives Xiao Xia another identity."

Everyone patted their chests one after another.

Zheng Lingling took a sip of water.

"I feel a little sorry for Xiao Xia. Professor Ji is such a serious person. Does it feel like I'm taking an advanced math class every day when I see him?"

Song Shixia couldn't help laughing out loud.

"If Professor Ji knew that you thought he was so cruel, he would probably doubt himself."

Everyone gathered together and squatted down.

Chai Shanjing asked hesitantly, "What is Professor Ji like in private? His class is so stressful. I can only relax when the bell rings at the end of class."

Song Shixia thought for a moment and replied, "He is indeed very strict with students, but in private he is an approachable teacher. Don't be scared by his cold appearance. If you encounter a difficult problem, go to his office and find him. He will give you guidance when he is free."

Song Shixia smiled and said, "I am not exaggerating his character. I have been with him for so long and I will not lie to you. Everyone who says he is difficult to get along with will eventually change their opinion of him."

Huo Kai was one of the students in Professor Ji's advanced math class. He met Professor Ji in the cafeteria and just said hello. Professor Ji invited him to have a meal despite his financial difficulties. Huo Kai has never forgotten this kindness.

Ding Jiajia held her face and looked up at her.

"I don't know why, but I think your smile right now is so beautiful, even more beautiful than the smile that comes from the heart."

Zheng Lingling clapped her hands and said, "Isn't this a face full of happiness? Sometimes when my dad comes home from get off work and cooks a meal for my mom, my mom smiles like this."

Han Rong and the nanny moved the two boxes outside the living room and divided the fruits. When they saw the girls in the room all laughing, they knew that the matter was resolved.

Han Rong came into the house cheerfully: "Where did you buy these fruits? Some of them I have never seen before."

"It was sent by Sister Yao Xue's father. He said it was a New Year's gift prepared in advance. If it was sent after the New Year, the fruit might have gone rotten. It was sent in advance so that it can be kept at home for a few days before being eaten."

Han Rong thought: "I was wondering why the fruit was green, it turns out it's not ripe."

The nanny brought the fruits into the restaurant, and the girls were curious about what kind of fruits they were.

Song Shixia also stood up.

"Let's go and have a look. If there's anything edible, we can try it."

Unfortunately, the fruit was barely ripe.

Uncle Yao prepared many kinds of fruits, and Song Shixia could recognize mangoes, oranges, tangerines, longans, lychees and papayas alone.

Ding Jiajia couldn't help but ask: "Why is it all green?"

Song Shixia explained: "It's convenient for transportation. The bumpy ride from the south to here would probably make the fruit rot by the time it gets here."

Han Rong thought a lot. It seemed that Yao Xue and Song Qiu Sheng were about to get married, otherwise they would not have even prepared the New Year gifts.

The girls finally relaxed, but when Professor Ji came down from the building at lunchtime, they immediately held their heads high, put their hands on the table and sat upright.

Song Shixia glared at Ji Weiqing, and Professor Ji greeted the young guests in a gentle tone.

"Today you are Xia Xia's friends, not my students. Don't be restrained."
