“Professor Qin! I’m sorry, I really know I was wrong, I really, really know I was wrong! I won’t talk nonsense again next time!”
At the dinner table, Jiang Yichen sincerely apologized. His attitude was extremely earnest; even a few crocodile tears welled up in the corners of his eyes. But the beautiful woman sitting opposite him ignored him completely.
“Eat.”
Qin Ling picked up her noodles and took a bite. The taste was indeed good; Jiang Yichen hadn’t lied to her. The sour and spicy flavors of the pickled cabbage fish soup were perfectly integrated into the noodles. It was delicious. She hadn’t usually eaten leftovers before, but from now on, Qin Ling thought that using everything up might be a good choice?
She ate two more mouthfuls, but Jiang Yichen, sitting opposite her, hadn’t eaten a single bite. He sat upright, silent, just watching her.
“Jiang Yichen,” Qin Ling put down her chopsticks, “Are you sulking with me now?”
Hearing Professor Qin’s icy tone, Jiang Yichen quickly explained, “No, I’m reflecting! I’m self-criticizing! I feel extremely ashamed of my previous rambling!”
“Alright, I understand. Eat.”
“Professor Qin, then about this hand-drawn score…”
Qin Ling was a little helpless. Sure enough, he was just a child, resorting to sulking and not eating!
“I hope this is the last time. If I hear you use terms like ‘Little Qin’ again, you can expect to hand-draw the entire textbook for me.”
“Professor Qin, rest assured, I guarantee this is the last time!”
Although Professor Qin seemed cold on the surface, she was actually quite soft-hearted.
After saying this, Jiang Yichen picked up his chopsticks and began slurping the noodles. Delicious! It was far more delicious than the buns, steamed bread, soy milk, and rice porridge he usually ate in the morning!
“Professor Qin, your cooking is amazing! The noodles you made for the first time are so delicious, neither too soft nor too hard, just right, and they have a great chewy texture…” Jiang Yichen praised as he ate, making quite a racket.
Qin Ling didn’t respond, only occasionally glancing at him.
After breakfast.
Jiang Yichen went straight to the classroom to prepare for class.
…
Unsurprisingly.
Jiang Yichen glanced at the empty classroom; he was indeed the first to arrive. It was twenty minutes before the 8 a.m. class. Today was Friday, and tomorrow was the weekend. As soon as Friday arrived, he felt much happier. Because he only had half a day of classes…
If he could cancel the 8 a.m. class, he would be even happier.
He played on his phone in the classroom for a while. Gradually, more students came into the classroom.
Zhang Wei and Shen An arrived unusually early today, entering the classroom at 7:50.
Shen An and Zheng Mingcheng were both puzzled by Jiang Yichen’s unusual solitary arrival at the classroom.
Jiang Yichen smiled, again using his older sister, Jiang Suihua, as a shield, saying that she had asked him to have breakfast together.
Perhaps because it was Friday, time seemed to pass extra slowly. Jiang Yichen had left his phone under his pillow last night and hadn’t charged it. For a slacker like him, having a dead phone during class was like being in prison.
He could only watch Zhang Wei play on his phone.
After enduring four classes, he finally made it to lunchtime.
As soon as class ended, Zhang Wei posed another great question of life: What to eat for lunch?
Shen An and Zheng Mingcheng still held the attitude of being fine with anything.
Zhang Wei could only turn his gaze to Jiang Yichen.
“My sister asked me to have lunch with her,” Jiang Yichen casually explained.
Actually, he was going to Professor Qin’s apartment to finish off the leftover pickled cabbage fish from last night. He couldn’t remember how many times he’d used his sister as a shield.
Hearing that Jiang Yichen was going to see Jiang Suihua, Zhang Wei and the others wisely left.
After a morning’s interval.
Jiang Yichen returned to Professor Qin’s apartment.
As soon as he entered, changed his shoes, he sent Qin Ling a WeChat message.
[Jiang Yichen: Professor Qin, will you be having lunch at the apartment?]
[Qin Ling: No, I have something to do.]
[Jiang Yichen: Okay.]
Since Qin Ling wasn’t there, Jiang Yichen cooked less rice.
…
Qin Ling had also planned to return to the apartment to have lunch with Jiang Yichen.
However, at this moment, in her office, looking at the three women surrounding her, she felt a headache coming on.
Liu Rong: “Heh, Qin Ling, no matter what you say, you have to go out to dinner with us today! Lin Yao couldn’t get you to come yesterday, but today the three of us are together, you have to go whether you want to or not!”
Fang Ruoyan: “That’s right, that’s right, do you know how heartbroken the three of us were yesterday when you didn’t come?”
Lin Yao: “Lingling, don’t tell us you’re busy today again.”
Qin Ling smiled helplessly, “I’m free.”
They had blocked her office; how could she be busy?
The four women then got into Qin Ling’s car together.
Fang Ruoyan sat in the passenger seat, curiously asking, “I say, Miss Qin, why did you only buy a car that costs just over a million? It’s a bit mismatched with your net worth.”
She remembered the first time their dorm had a gathering on the first day of school. This Miss Qin had taken out her black card. At that time, it had shocked the three of them.
“Just bought it casually.”
Qin Ling sat in the driver’s seat, fastened her seatbelt, and prepared to start the car. She had bought the car on a whim; too luxurious a car would attract too much attention, which wasn’t good. So she bought this Porsche Cayenne that cost just over a million.
“Miss, I think you could change to a more luxurious car, like a supercar or something, or at least a Rolls-Royce, a Bentley…” Fang Ruoyan sighed. She was so envious; some people were born at the finish line of others.
“I have them at home, I don’t want to drive them.” Qin Ling said.
“…” Fang Ruoyan immediately fell silent.
Lin Yao and Liu Rong in the back seat were curious, “You have several?”
“How is that possible?”
“Just a few.”
Qin Ling said it casually, as if it were an insignificant matter.
Fang Ruoyan wanted to slap herself; her mouth… Why did she bring this up? Wasn’t this just giving Qin Ling a chance to show off?
The car fell silent. The car, costing just over a million, had excellent sound insulation. With the windows closed, you couldn’t hear any tire or wind noise.
After a long time, Qin Ling remembered something, glanced at the rearview mirror, and said, “Liu Rong.”
“…Hmm?” Liu Rong looked up.
“I heard you’re supporting a male college student?” Qin Ling asked.
“Huh???!!!” Liu Rong was surprised, “What male college student? Is there one? I don’t know anything about it!”
Lin Yao: “Wow, Rongrong, you’re playing hard to get, a male college student, he’d have to call you auntie, right?”
Liu Rong: “I told you I don’t have one! Qin Ling! You’re slandering me! Defamation!”
Qin Ling turned her head to look at Fang Ruoyan in the passenger seat, and then without any hesitation, sold her out, “Fang Ruoyan told me, she said she knows the male college student you’re supporting.”
As soon as these words came out.
Liu Rong froze, and Fang Ruoyan also froze.
“Fang Ruoyan! You’re slandering me!” Liu Rong looked unwilling to admit it.
“What slander!” Fang Ruoyan very honestly took out her phone, then opened her WeChat Moments, found a boy from her contacts… “Look for yourself, does this boy look familiar!”
Liu Rong: “…”
“Don’t be nervous.” Qin Ling comforted, “I just wanted to ask you, what’s it like dating someone younger than you?”
