Chapter 542: 320 (first watch of the night)_2
If it were another professor, they probably wouldn’t answer such a question, but Jiang Xuan believed… it wasn’t nice not to answer questions the students had taken the effort to ask…
Especially when the answer was right on the tip of his tongue.
He slowly raised his hand, and the students imdiately scrambled to be the first to crash into his fingertip.
“Is it ? Is it ?”
“It should definitely be !”
“If you push again, I’m going to lose it! Professor Jiang was clearly pointing at !”
Xia Ye’s position in the classroom was sothing he had long committed to mory. Without hesitation, his arm moved directly towards her—
But just as his fingertip was about to land, Xia Ye, who had noticed in advance, swiftly lay down, bending backward and perfectly concealing herself under the desk on Qi Ran’s legs.
Qi Ran: ???
Happiness ca too suddenly; Qi Ran’s legs went weak, and he covered his mouth, daring not to make a sound.
Yeye is so adorably shy!
Jiang Xuan watched the suddenly vacant spot, his eyes seemingly still holding the dashed outline of Xia Ye.
“…”
His arm remained suspended in midair for a few seconds, then slowly lowered. The man chuckled softly and shook his head before returning to the stern deanor expected of Professor Jiang, “All right, I refuse to answer such questions. Class dismissed.”
“Ah, as expected, professors don’t answer these kinds of questions!”
“Professor Jiang is so an, teasing us like that.”
“Yes, I thought he was actually going to pick soone!”
“Could it be after all that choosing, he found no one that caught his eye?”
“Buzz off!”
Xia Ye lay on Qi Ran’s legs and took a deep breath.
Thankfully she reacted quickly, or she would have suffered a social death prematurely.
After class, on the way back to the dorm with Lu Beibei, Xia Ye received a ssage from Jiang Xuan, commanding in tone.
Jiang: et at the car at the South Gate.
For a couple that hadn’t seen each other in a long ti, a few glances across the lecture podium were certainly not enough. Xia Ye glanced towards the South Gate and, since it was conveniently on her way, decided… she might as well go.
At the South Gate, a black car was parked, long in body with a brand logo not commonly seen, but its appearance alone indicated it wasn’t cheap.
Every ti Jiang Xuan ca to campus, he drove a different car. At first, so girls could rember which cars were his, but later, as the number increased, they lost track.
The windows were covered with privacy film, obscuring the inside from the side view. The front and co-driver’s seats were empty, but it was unclear if anyone was in the back.
Xia Ye bent over, her face against the rear window and hands flanking her eyes, trying to peer inside.
But before she could discern anything, a ‘thud’ sounded; the car door popped open, and Xia Ye was pulled inside by a large hand. The door closed behind her, the draft tousling a tuft of her hair.
Jiang Xuan had specifically dismissed the driver, and now it was just him and her inside the car, with no need to even raise the divider between the front and back seats.
Jiang Xuan picked up a flat round luggage bag from beside the seat, pink with a white outlined Little Tiangao pattern: “Mrs. Xia, Xu He bought these for you, all things… girls would like.”
Before returning to the country, Xu He had handed him the bag while specifically introducing its contents.
But being trinkets for girls, it was a strange territory for Jiang Xuan, so when it was his turn to describe them, he simply reduced it to “things girls would like.”
Jiang Xuan jostled the bag, weighing about ten kilograms, insignificant to him.
He simply handed it over to her.
Xia Ye took it lightly, setting it aside: “When is she coming back?”
Jiang Xuan casually turned towards her: “Probably in about a month, after Baoli Fashion Week is over.”
Xia Ye made an “Oh” sound just as her chin was lifted by soone’s hand.
Jiang Xuan pinched her chin between thumb and forefinger, a sowhat sinister smile on his face: “Are you done asking questions?”
Xia Ye wanted to reply ‘no,’ but at that mont, she really couldn’t think of anything else.
Not responding, Jiang Xuan took it as her acquiescence, and as there were no other questions, why not do sothing else…
As his breath approached, Xia Ye lowered her head slightly, her delicate eyebrows lifting to look up at him, which made her appear sowhat pitiable from this angle.
However, such an expression wouldn’t prompt any man to back down, only provoking his desire to dominate further…
Just as Jiang Xuan leaned in, Xia Ye suddenly raised her hand to cover his mouth, her narrow eyes sweeping outside the window, and she whispered in a low voice, “There are too many people at the door.”
Though the windows were covered with privacy film, making it impossible to see inside from outside, one could see clearly from inside to outside. Nevertheless, Xia Ye still felt uneasy.
