25: Chapter 25: Which departnt is your girlfriend in?
As soon as the system’s voice faded.
A flood of knowledge about traditional instrunts surged into Xiao Fei’s mind.
Instrunts like the guzheng, dongxiao, flute, erhu, pipa, and others…
Even so lesser-known minority instrunts.
Xiao Fei absorbed all of this knowledge.
At this mont,
he could honestly say he was on par with a maestro of traditional music!
Music, chess, calligraphy, and painting—Xiao Fei had now mastered the ‘music’ portion.
According to the system’s notes, if he kept unlocking tasks, wouldn’t he also acquire the other three arts?
Looks like it wouldn’t take long before,
he could beco a national arts master.
With this new skill, Xiao Fei’s hands itched to test it out on a musical instrunt.
Unfortunately, there wasn’t a single instrunt in his ho.
Looks like tomorrow, he’d need to buy so instrunts to practice on.
…
The next day.
Even though it was the weekend,
Tang Yuxin still needed to return to school for a eting.
Xiao Fei handed the baby over to Mrs.
Tang and Aunt Wang for care, then drove Tang Yuxin to school himself.
Taking advantage of the eting break, Xiao Fei headed to a nearby music shop.
With his mastery of traditional instrunts, Xiao Fei’s ability to appraise instrunts had also improved significantly.
After browsing around the store, he picked out the best guqin, guzheng, and a variety of other traditional instrunts.
Then he drove back to the school’s parking lot to wait for Tang Yuxin to finish her eting.
With nothing else to do, Xiao Fei pulled out his phone and started playing Genshin Impact.
He hadn’t been playing for long,
when soone knocked on the car window.
Looking up, Xiao Fei was surprised to see Wu Zitao and Liu Chao standing there.
Laughing, Xiao Fei lowered the car window and asked, “What brings you two here?
Where’s Bozi?”
“Don’t get started,”
Liu Chao said with a dramatic eye roll, “Zhang Bo’s been hooked up with so freshman girl these past two days.”
“We planned to hit the internet café today to ga together, but now he’s off sowhere who-knows-where with that girl doing who-knows-what!”
“Ah?”
“Bozi finally found soone—well, that’s good news!”
Xiao Fei said, genuinely surprised.
He hadn’t expected that just a few days after he moved out, Zhang Bo had started dating?
“Let’s find a ti to get together, then I can check out his girlfriend.”
“Heh, sure!”
Wu Zitao pulled out a pack of Furong Wang cigarettes, lit one for himself, and offered one each to Liu Chao and Xiao Fei.
Xiao Fei waved them off imdiately.
For the sake of his baby, he couldn’t smoke anymore.
“I’ve quit.”
“Hmm… all of a sudden?”
Wu Zitao looked a little surprised but quickly shifted the topic back to Xiao Fei.
“By the way…”
“Brother Xiao, have you gotten a girlfriend too?”
Xiao Fei nodded slightly.
“Knew it!”
Wu Zitao and Liu Chao exchanged a knowing look, then pried further with excitent.
“So, you moved out to live together with her, didn’t you?”
“Sort of.”
Xiao Fei didn’t deny it.
“Alright then, let’s have a dorm reunion dinner soon—and make sure to bring your girlfriend.”
“Let’s hang out together.”
“Oh, by the way, which major is your girlfriend in?”
The question briefly stumped Xiao Fei.
After a mont’s thought, he replied, “I guess… you could say she’s also in our finance departnt.”
“What do you an ‘I guess’?”
“Wait a second, is she a freshman too?”
Liu Chao and Wu Zitao were confused, but they didn’t press further.
After all, they knew they’d eventually et Xiao Fei’s girlfriend anyway.
“Brother Xiao, you parked here—are you waiting for her?”
“Yeah.”
“Heh, so let guess…”
Both Wu Zitao and Liu Chao exchanged sly grins.
After three years of dorm life, Xiao Fei could obviously tell what those grins ant.
Clearly, they weren’t leaving without seeing what his girlfriend looked like today.
…
anwhile, inside the campus eting room.
“Alright, that’s it for today’s eting.”
“Dismissed!”
At the principal’s word, the teachers in attendance began tidying up their desks.
Sitting beside Tang Yuxin, Jiang Yu nudged her with an elbow.
“Teacher Tang,”
“why are you dressed so beautifully today?”
Jiang Yu gazed at Tang Yuxin with envy.
Because Tang Yuxin looked absolutely stunning!
Even on a normal day, without makeup, Tang Yuxin already outshone everyone else.
Today, not only had she put on light makeup, but she was also wearing a Chanel strap dress.
She looked nothing short of srizing.
“Oh, co on…”
“It’s not that different from usual.”
At this, Jiang Yu’s eyes twinkled with a knowing glint.
She pointed at Tang Yuxin’s necklace and earrings, grinning.
“Those are different though.”
“Did your husband give you those?”
“Mmm…”
Realizing she’d been exposed, Tang Yuxin gave a small nod.
“Your husband is so good to you.”
“Those must’ve cost a fortune, huh?”
Tang Yuxin responded with a soft smile but didn’t elaborate.
“Alright, I’d better head ho now.”
Gathering her things, she stood, ready to leave the eting room.
“Wait, Teacher Tang!”
“It’s a rare day off—why don’t we grab dinner together tonight?”
Jiang Yu grabbed Tang Yuxin’s arm while a few other female teachers chid in agreent.
Evidently, they’d planned this ahead of ti.
But…
Tang Yuxin shook her head—Xiao Fei was still waiting for her in the parking lot.
She couldn’t leave her husband waiting for too long.
The thought of Xiao Fei brought an unbidden smile to her lips.
A warm and sweet smile that made Jiang Yu feel a twinge of jealousy.
“Smiling like that—you’re eager to rush ho to your husband, aren’t you?”
“That’s right!”
Tang Yuxin answered candidly.
Sitting across from Jiang Yu, Yuan Tong chid in teasingly.
“Teacher Tang, you’re being awfully blatant with your public displays of affection.”
“Even I, a married woman, feel overwheld.
How are the single teachers supposed to cope!”
“Exactly!
Watching this is like taking a critical hit as a single dog.
I demand compensation!!”
Jiang Yu dramatically bemoaned her fate, egging Yuan Tong on.
“Fine.”
“What kind of compensation do you want?”
Tang Yuxin asked with a playful grin.
Jiang Yu’s expression turned mischievous as she replied:
“I want to invite myself to your place for dinner!”
“Your husband’s cooking is phenonal—I just have to get a taste!”
Tang Yuxin froze for a mont.
Coming over for dinner?
Wouldn’t that give everything away?
Wait…
Jiang Yu, like her, only taught first-year students.
She probably wouldn’t know Xiao Fei!
If that was the case, even if she ca for dinner, she likely wouldn’t figure anything out.
As Jiang Yu made her suggestion,
another close friend of Tang Yuxin, Yuan Shan, grew interested as well.
For the past few days, Yuan Shan had seen Tang Yuxin’s packed lunches at work and had been drooling in secret.
“Yeah, Teacher Tang!”
“Let us co over for dinner!
Your packed lunches have been driving us crazy with envy!”
Oh no!
If her mory served, Yuan Shan taught third-year students.
And she was one of Xiao Fei’s lecturers.
There was a good chance she’d recognize him!
Although her courses were general electives shared across multiple classes, so she might not know all her students…
But what if she did rember Xiao Fei?
Tang Yuxin felt panicked inside.
Yet outwardly, she maintained a calm deanor.
“It might not work out today—my husband…”
Before Tang Yuxin could finish, her phone started ringing.
Seeing that Xiao Fei was calling, she had no choice but to step outside to answer it.
Jiang Yu craned her neck, her face full of curiosity.
“Hello, hubby?”
“It’s getting late; are you still in the eting?”
“No…
it just finished.”
“Okay, I’m waiting in the parking lot.
Oh, by the way, two of my dormmates are here as well.”
Tang Yuxin: “Huh???”
Even though Tang Yuxin had previously said she didn’t mind if their relationship went public,
she couldn’t help feeling nervous at the mont.
“If you’re uncomfortable with this, I can ask them to leave first.”
Hearing Xiao Fei’s words,
Tang Yuxin took a deep breath, seeming to make up her mind.
“No need, hubby.”
“I’m coming over right now.”
Hanging up, Tang Yuxin turned and waved to Jiang Yu and Yuan Shan.
“Alright, let’s go.”
“But just so you know, my husband works hard in the kitchen, so don’t overindulge.”
“Tsk tsk, you’re already feeling sorry for him before we’ve even started eating.”
Jiang Yu playfully teased.
Then she smiled and hooked her arm through Tang Yuxin’s as they walked out of the eting room together.
On the way to the parking lot, Tang Yuxin silently prayed.
Let’s hope my husband doesn’t get startled…
