"Tongue-tied and bumbling! I have no idea how you ever mastered any skills!" Seeing Ge Dongxu following her all the way, hesitating and stuttering, Wu Yili felt both embarrassed and amused. In the end, she couldn't help but turn her head and glare at him before suddenly reaching out to take his arm, speaking irritably.
His arm was suddenly taken by Wu Yili, and when his arm touched her plump side, Ge Dongxu's body stiffened for a mont.
To say that he had no feelings for Wu Yili would definitely be nonsense.
To speak of it, his close contact with Wu Yili had occurred even before Liu Jiayao.
After that ti, the young him had also had several dreams.
"It's a bit cold," Wu Yili seed to realize that her gesture was a bit too intimate and hurriedly explained.
"Yes, the wind has picked up. It's indeed a bit chilly. It's getting late; shall we go to Erald Residence for dinner?" Ge Dongxu purposefully ducked his head as he spoke.
"Pfft!" Seeing Ge Dongxu, who was actually a master and theoretically shouldn't be cold, making such an exaggerated motion to cater to her, Wu Yili couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Wu Yili was already very beautiful, with a good temperant, and a well-proportioned and plump figure. Her skin was as white as fresh snow, and now with the shy blush still on her face, under the sunset, her laughter was like flowers blooming, making even the desolate Mingyue Lake instantly more spring-like and bright.
"Teacher, you're really beautiful!" Ge Dongxu gazed at Wu Yili under the sunset, unable to restrain his praise.
"Really?" Wu Yili's heart trembled slightly upon hearing this, as she looked at Ge Dongxu and asked.
"Of course, it's true! I'm not lying," Ge Dongxu replied.
"Now you've beco eloquent!" Wu Yili playfully scolded him with a joyful arch of her eyebrows, incomparably feminine under the sunset.
If any teachers or graduate students familiar with Wu Yili were there, their eyes would definitely pop out.
Because in their eyes, Wu Yili was a person who behaved with grace and composure, dealt with things ticulously, and was always orderly. When had she ever taken a man's hand and spoken with such a feminine vibe?
Looking at Wu Yili under the sunset, so incredibly gorgeous and charming, filled with the allure of a mature and intellectual woman, Ge Dongxu's heart stirred uncontrollably.
"Ahem, Teacher, shall we go to Erald Residence for dinner after all?" Ge Dongxu quickly changed the subject.
"You're a university professor and even a chairman, after all. In private, you shouldn't call teacher anymore. Just like three years ago, call Yili," Wu Yili said.
More ripples stirred in Ge Dongxu's heart, but he nodded his head.
"I am really a bit cold, but I also want to walk around Mingyue Lake for a bit. I haven't visited Mingyue Lake in a long ti. Is it okay if I hold onto you like this?" Seeing Ge Dongxu looking noticeably unnatural, Wu Yili also felt sowhat uneasy and explained again.
The truth that Wu Yili spoke was genuine. But truth be told, if it were any other man, aside from family mbers, she would probably rather freeze than make such an intimate gesture of holding hands.
"You're my sister, of course, it's no problem," Ge Dongxu replied.
"Actually, I've had this idea for a long ti. Soti, holding my boyfriend's hand under the sunset, walking quietly by Mingyue Lake, it would be such happiness. Unfortunately, I've never t the right man. You are the first man with whom I've held hands, but what a pity, you are too young. For now, I'm just using you to keep warm. Don't get any wild ideas!" Holding Ge Dongxu's hand and facing the sunset, walking quietly along the lakeside of Mingyue Lake, Wu Yili felt an indescribable sense of relaxation and peace, even sharing this conversation that was suitable only with close friends with Ge Dongxu.
"Mm," Ge Dongxu nodded with a slight blush. The way Wu Yili had intimately linked her arm with his made it impossible for him not to wander into a whirlwind of thoughts—how could it not, when he was not gay?
"You cheeky fellow!" Seeing Ge Dongxu blush and respond in such a faint voice, Wu Yili instantly realized that her last remark had been in vain. She couldn't help but blush herself and gave him a reproachful look.
However, Wu Yili did not let go of his hand.
As they walked around Mingyue Lake, Wu Yili shared many things with Ge Dongxu, including her experiences in Germany, her many thoughts upon returning, and her ambitions.
Ge Dongxu listened quietly, and gradually, his mind stopped wandering. It seed very natural and harmonious for the two of them to be walking hand in hand this way.
Even as he listened, he found himself unconsciously developing a deep sense of affection and tenderness toward Wu Yili.
From her words, he sensed her striving efforts, her grand ideals, her occasional ntal exhaustion and weariness, and also her inner loneliness.
"If you ever feel tired from work, or are troubled, and can't find soone to lean on, co find ," Ge Dongxu said softly as the street lamps along the edge of Mingyue Lake lit up one by one.
"You said it, you are not allowed to complain about nagging or clinging to you later," Wu Yili's delicate body trembled slightly, and her beautiful eyes sparkled under the light.
A young and beautiful university professor like her could indeed be quite lonely at tis.
Just like the campus saying goes: female college students are Zhao Min, undergrads are Huang Rong, master's students are Li Mochou, doctoral students are Master Miejue, and post-docs are Invincible East.
Now Wu Yili was a university professor, a PhD supervisor—by any asure, at least on the level of Invincible East.
Of course, even if she were Invincible East, she would at least be on the level of Lin Qingxia.
"How could that be? You are a great beauty! Others would beg for your attention," Ge Dongxu laughed. After they started addressing each other as brother and sister, Ge Dongxu found himself less hesitant when speaking.
"You're the only one who dares to tease to my face like this. The faculty mbers at the college are all very serious around ," Wu Yili said, giving Ge Dongxu a playful glare as he complinted her.
"They're just pretending to be proper. I'm sure they all sneak glances at you when they can," Ge Dongxu said.
"Enough of that, you're no better! Let's go eat, I'm hungry," Wu Yili shot Ge Dongxu a look but did not refute his point.
The two of them ended up eating at the Erald Residence again.
Ironically, during their al, they once again ran into Chang Yufeng, the forr deputy chief physician of the Traditional Chinese dicine Hospital.
However, this ti, upon seeing Ge Dongxu and Wu Yili, Chang Yufeng's face turned pale, and he kept his head down, pretending not to see them.
"Hey, doesn't that Chief Chang seem a bit scared of you? You haven't taught him a lesson at the Traditional Chinese dicine Hospital, have you?" Wu Yili asked in a low voice, curious.
Ge Dongxu roughly explained the incident at the Traditional Chinese dicine Hospital to Wu Yili. After listening, Wu Yili took a while to recover, then smiled wryly, "I didn't expect such a thing to happen; thankfully you're capable, otherwise wouldn't I have inadvertently hard you?"
"That's why you should only co to when you need a shield!" Ge Dongxu joked.
