109: Chapter 109: You guys are really having a blast!
After enjoying the cherry blossoms over the weekend.
A new week was about to begin again.
Walking across the campus, Tang Yuxin kept feeling that the gazes people directed at her were strange.
They were filled with complex emotions—admiration, longing, awe, and more.
Tang Yuxin had received such looks before, but never as intensely as now.
Her long legs moved gracefully, the crisp click-clack of her heels echoing on the ground.
Despite pondering for a long ti, Tang Yuxin couldn’t figure out what was going on, so she simply chose to ignore it.
She tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, pushed open the office door, and walked in.
The colleagues who were all busy at their desks suddenly noticed the door opening, and a waft of fragrance drifted through the room.
They all looked up at the sa ti, fixing their eyes on Tang Yuxin as she entered.
Today, Tang Yuxin wore a light blue blouse paired with a tailored beige pair of pants, perfectly showcasing her graceful figure.
Her waist-length hair had been curled slightly with a wave of soft curls.
After all, it was work hours—she wouldn’t dress too flamboyantly.
But even a simple outfit would light up a room when worn by Tang Yuxin.
Because she was essentially a perfect clothes rack.
“Teacher Tang, you and your husband have made quite the…
the…
grand appearance again.”
Jiang Yu teased as she spoke.
Tang Yuxin’s eyes held a flash of confusion.
“What do you an?”
“What do I an?
The campus forum is flooded with photos from this Sunday—pictures of you and your husband at Sakura Garden!”
“My, my, my.
When soone’s good-looking to a certain degree…”
“Even a low-quality cara can capture breathtaking shots, huh?”
After hearing Jiang Yu’s words, Tang Yuxin was montarily stunned.
Sitting at her desk, she took out her phone and logged onto the campus forum.
Sure enough, the most popular posts were all about her and Xiao Fei.
Clicking into one, she saw photos captured from various angles.
“These students…”
The photos were obviously taken by students, with no technical artistry whatsoever.
But regardless, thanks to the subjects being photographed, the pictures were undeniably pleasing to the eye.
Especially one candid shot of her and Xiao Fei exchanging glances under the falling cherry blossoms—the comnts below had already exploded with engagent.
Though such covert photography was clearly unethical, Tang Yuxin didn’t have the mind to pursue it further.
However, she clearly underestimated the impact of these photos.
All morning, every single class period before and after, she was bombarded by her excited students.
Especially the girls, each with glowing faces, chirping endlessly with questions.
“Seriously… this is giving such a headache…”
At noon, while enjoying the lunch Xiao Fei had lovingly prepared for her in the office, Tang Yuxin recalled the morning’s events and felt utterly exhausted.
“Forget about it, forget about it.
There’s sothing even more headache-inducing now.”
“What would that be?”
Jiang Yu happened to walk in after lunch and overheard, imdiately asking.
Yuan Tong, who followed behind Jiang Yu, also glanced over curiously.
Tang Yuxin thought for a mont.
It wasn’t exactly a secret.
So she motioned for Jiang Yu and Yuan Tong to co over.
Once they were at her desk, she quietly said:
“Xiao Fei’s birthday is coming up, and I don’t know what to get him.”
Upon hearing this, Yuan Tong sighed wistfully.
“I really envy your relationship.
At least you still put thought into birthday gifts for each other.
The man in my house only made an effort in the first few years of marriage.
Nowadays, it’s nothing more than a quick dinner.”
“Ugh, I’m suffering from secondhand sweetness over here!”
Jiang Yu rolled her eyes dramatically.
“Why do I, a single woman, have to endure your PDA every day?
It’s bad enough when you’re both here together, but now even one of you is enough to feed your dog food.
This is too much!”
“So, what should I give Xiao Fei?”
Yuan Tong thought seriously for a mont and then asked, “Student Xiao… Ugh, that sounds strange.
Never mind, let’s just say it—your husband must have sothing he likes, right?”
What does Xiao Fei like?
Of course, she knew…
But Tang Yuxin felt a little too embarrassed to say it out loud.
Seeing her suddenly shifty gaze and slightly flushed cheeks, both Yuan Tong and Jiang Yu exchanged a look.
Sothing was up.
Yuan Tong, being in her forties, held back.
But Jiang Yu, who was close in age to Tang Yuxin and much less reserved, imdiately started tickling Tang Yuxin to get her to spill the beans.
“That expression is too interesting!
Spill it—what does your husband like?”
Tang Yuxin imdiately raised her hands in mock surrender.
“Well… Xiao Fei… likes watching ani…”
While Yuan Tong didn’t quite catch on, Jiang Yu narrowed her eyes as if sothing clicked.
She suddenly exclaid:
“No way!
He already has such a gorgeous wife, and he still likes 2D characters?!”
“What do you an, 2D characters?”
Yuan Tong looked utterly lost.
Jiang Yu quickly explained the term to Yuan Tong in the context of younger people’s slang.
After listening, Yuan Tong’s expression beca rather amused.
“Well, that actually makes things easier.
Just dress up as one of those 2D characters and call it a day!”
“No, no, no, no…”
Tang Yuxin quickly shook her head.
Cosplay was sothing she occasionally did at ho—not all the ti, but often enough that it felt unoriginal now.
Jiang Yu didn’t know this, though, and tilted her head in confusion.
This always-clueless and carefree Jiang Yu suddenly beca uncharacteristically perceptive when it mattered most.
She felt like she’d stumbled upon sothing big.
“Hey… Teacher Tang.”
“You don’t secretly cosplay at ho too, do you… Mmffh!”
A blushing Tang Yuxin imdiately reached out to cover Jiang Yu’s mouth.
Luckily, the office was empty save for the three of them, and they were all close friends.
Otherwise, Tang Yuxin being seen like this could’ve been yet another headline-worthy event.
While Jiang Yu was silenced by Tang Yuxin’s hand, her expression made it evident—she had hit the nail on the head.
She opened her mouth but ultimately sighed, “Wow, you two really have fun!”
“So can we think of sothing else?”
Tang Yuxin quickly waved her hands in dismissal.
“This is so frustrating…”
Jiang Yu lightly tapped her head, eventually resigning in defeat.
“… If all else fails, you could just wrap yourself up in ribbons with a bow and tell him, ‘The gift is !'”
“Tell you’re not serious.”
Tang Yuxin glared sternly at Jiang Yu.
Under her intense gaze, Jiang Yu shrank back instinctively.
Just then, Yuan Tong suddenly chid in, “When’s his birthday?”
“It’s next Saturday.”
“Saturday, huh…”
Yuan Tong suddenly broke into a grin.
“Here’s an idea…”
She proceeded to describe her plan in detail.
As she spoke, Tang Yuxin’s eyes began to light up.
