Chapter 44: Chapter 44 Valentine’s Day 520 Chapter 44: Chapter 44 Valentine’s Day 520 “He’s different from ; he still rembers every little detail about being with my mom and has never forgotten,” Xu Jinzhi looked at Xie Yanchuan and suddenly thought of her past self. Back then, her life with Xie Yanchuan grew sweeter by the day, yet after Xie Yanchuan died, she quickly recovered.
She had told herself that her marriage to Xie Yanchuan was just a business alliance, that she didn’t love him that much, and that Xie Yanchuan’s departure was indeed sothing she had to get used to but it wasn’t devastatingly painful.
But now, looking at Xie Yanchuan, Xu Jinzhi wondered again, did she really not love Xie Yanchuan? But it seed not. Otherwise, why hadn’t she been with anyone else in the long years that followed? Why did she often think of Xie Yanchuan?
At this mont, Xie Yanchuan did not realize how complex Xu Jinzhi’s gaze was as she looked at him; he just suddenly felt that being sowhat disapproved of by his future father-in-law on the journey wasn’t so hard to accept after all.
Seeing Xie Yanchuan’s sympathetic expression toward Xu Zhen, Xu Jinzhi couldn’t help but smile.
The two stood by, waiting, and when the ti was nearly upon them, Xu Jinzhi finally said, “Let’s go over and take a look.”
The two walked back to the tombstone where Xu Zhen had cald down, his eyes red as if he had been crying.
But Xu Zhen spoke very matter-of-factly to Xie Yanchuan and Xu Jinzhi, as if nothing had happened, “I’ve finished speaking to your mom. Is there anything else you want to say to her?”
Xu Jinzhi shook her head, “I’ve already said everything.”
“Then let’s go back,” Xu Zhen said.
So the three of them went back to the Xu Family’s ho. It was already ti for lunch, and although Xu Zhen found Xie Yanchuan displeasing, he still invited him to stay for a al.
Considering his father had been “hurt” today, after lunch, Xu Jinzhi sent Xie Yanchuan away. Xu Zhen was subtly pleased, knowing that he still held a more important place in Xu Jinzhi’s heart.
Just like Xu Jinzhi, who acted as an affectionate “little cotton jacket” for him, which had so loose ends, had the asure taken for Xu Zhen’s clothing he would wear at the wedding while he had so ti on his hands.
Xu Zhen’s mood, which had been improving, faded again.
Drinking alone late at night, he once again complained to his deceased wife about all the things Xu Jinzhi did.
Eventually, he also told his wife that Jinzhi was good, it’s just that Xie Yanchuan was too enticing!
It was all Xie Yanchuan’s fault!

Ti flew, and it was the day before May 20th.
It wasn’t a significant holiday nor an anniversary between Xu Jinzhi and Xie Yanchuan, but tomorrow was May 20th, which sounds like “I love you”!
In her past life, Xu Jinzhi and Xie Yanchuan had lived together for five years and had celebrated five May 20ths.
She vividly rembered that on their first May 20th after getting married, she hadn’t paid much attention to it, leaving early for work and staying busy until late before returning ho.
In between, she had received a call from Xie Yanchuan asking when she would co back. She was busy at the ti and gave him a rather vague answer.
Later, she forgot about it as Xie Yanchuan hadn’t ntioned anything urgent, so Xu Jinzhi stayed busy until she finished everything at hand and returned ho.
Xie Yanchuan had cooked dinner at ho last night because he was allergic to pollen and hadn’t bought flowers for himself, but he had also carefully prepared a gift.
But she was completely unprepared and had never even considered that there was such an “anniversary” between them.
It wasn’t until the next year that she rembered that this day was also ant for a date with Xie Yanchuan.
In this lifeti, Xu Jinzhi certainly rembered, as for Xie Yanchuan…
“Do you have any plans for tomorrow?” Xu Jinzhi asked Xie Yanchuan.
“Tomorrow is Monday, I only have classes in the afternoon.” On the video, Xie Yanchuan said uncertainly, “Do you have sothing?”
Because of the wedding preparations, there were always so bits and pieces that needed to be decided together, and Xie Yanchuan had gradually gotten used to it.
“If there’s anything, I have ti in the morning and evening,” he paused, then added, “I only have two classes in the afternoon and they end quite early.”
“It’s nothing, I was just asking casually,” Xu Jinzhi said with a smile, as if she really was just asking casually.
Xie Yanchuan was sowhat skeptical, but Xu Jinzhi’s expression was so calm that he couldn’t detect any issue at all.
“Just concentrate on your work!” Xu Jinzhi said.
Xie Yanchuan hesitated and nodded, feeling that sothing was slightly amiss.
It wasn’t until the next day, when Xie Yanchuan arrived at the school, that he learned that today was “Valentine’s Day.”
Recalling how Xu Jinzhi had specifically asked him last night if he had any plans today, Xie Yanchuan thought, could she be waiting for him to take the initiative to propose a date?
Xie Yanchuan felt a bit helpless for a mont, unsure of what he should do now.
Xue Hang was pestering Tao Xueyan, saying jovially, “Let’s have dinner together tonight.”
“I won’t.” Tao Xueyan declined coldly.
Xue Hang, undiscouraged, said, “Co on, I’ve booked a couples’ restaurant, the kind that really has a nice atmosphere.”
“Do you even have the money? Don’t end up having wash dishes in the restaurant,” Tao Xueyan glanced at Xue Hang.
“How could that happen! Didn’t we just get paid?” Thanks to the professor, not only was their experintal funding plentiful, but their salaries had also been paid.
Tao Xueyan frowned, “Can’t you be more frugal?”
“It’s just once in a while, not every day, and I’ve already booked it, so just co!” As Xue Hang spoke, he began to act coquettishly while grabbing Tao Xueyan’s hand.
This ti, Tao Xueyan didn’t outright refuse, making Xue Hang instantly feel hopeful and beco more insistent.
While Xie Yanchuan was recording experintal data, he slightly turned his gaze, discreetly glancing over.
That was when group leader Qin He passed by and said sowhat sternly, “Focus on the experint, no fooling around!”
Xue Hang imdiately behaved, but the smile on his face never faded.
After the morning experints, Xie Yanchuan went to the cafeteria for lunch with everyone, where he saw many couples holding hands, all holding flowers, clearly celebrating the festival as young lovers.
During the al, Xue Hang even asked Xie Yanchuan, “Professor, what surprise have you prepared for our ntor today?”
Xie Yanchuan didn’t know how to answer that question, thankfully Tao Xueyan intervened, “Why are you, a guy, so nosy?”
“I’m sure everyone wants to know, it’s just that you haven’t asked. I’m the one who asked,” Xue Hang declared confidently.
