Chapter 45

When he was in the studio yesterday, Bai Zhu didn't act like he remembered her. And Chen Wanwan said that he once sat next to her, and he said "long time no see" probably out of politeness.

Xu Xingxing returned to his senses, smiled, stretched out his hand and shook Bai Zhu, and said, "Long time no see."

Yang Wenyu stood beside her with a loving smile on her face. She was 50 years old when she taught Xu Xingxing that level, but she still looked delicate and young. But haven't seen each other for a few years, but now Yang Wenyu looks much older and haggard.

She heard what Chen Wanwan said just now, looked at Xu Xingxing and said with a smile, "You also want to ask for a marriage?"

In Yang Wenyu's words, there is a parent-like and loving joke. Xu Xingxing felt embarrassed, blushed and waved his hand, "No, teacher..."

Yang Wenyu remembered that Xu Xingxing used to be a quiet and introverted girl. She was very serious in her studies, and she couldn't miss the scholarship every year. She once thought that a girl with such a quiet life would have many men pampering her, but she never thought that she is still single now.

And Chen Wanwan caught the point, widened her eyes, and asked with the light of gossip, "Also? Could it be that Senior Bai Zhu is also here to seek marriage?"

While several people were talking, Bai Zhu was standing aside. Today, he wore a dark gray sweater with a half-high collar and a light-colored casual trench coat. Standing under the marriage tree full of big red marriage cards, the temperament is refined.

He is the typical artist temperament, even with a smile on his face, there is a kind of nobleness that is not easy to get close to.

After listening to Chen Wanwan's words, Bai Zhu didn't feel embarrassed, nodded lightly and said, "Well, come around after praying."

Yang Wenyu glanced at her son and said with a smile, "You don't have that in mind. I didn't pull you here."

Students will have some impression of their teacher's children, especially Bai Zhu's outstanding children, which are still fresh in their memory.

Chen Wanwan remembered that when she was in college, someone in the German major group picked up the white bamboo. It is said that he is very powerful. He studied at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in the university. When he was in school, his paintings have been exhibited and listed in auction houses. He is regarded as a relatively well-known young painter in the world.

He has been developing abroad all the time, how come he has returned to China to find a marriage?

Not only Chen Wanwan, Xu Xingxing also noticed, but she noticed Yang Wenyu more.

Looking at Yang Wenyu's complexion, it is not only old and haggard, but also has some weakness after recovering from a serious illness. She looked down at Yang Wenyu's white hair on the temples and asked.

"Teacher, how is your health recently?"

Yang Wenyu sighed slightly, but did not speak. Next to him, Bai Zhu glanced at Xu Xingxing and said, "I was ill a while ago, and I just had an operation."

"It's really hard to be a woman. It has two more breasts than a man, and it will also cause cancer. Alas, I said why Mr. Yang looks so much older." Chen Wanwan sighed and fastened her seat belt when she got into the car.

"When you have time, go visit." Xu Xingxing was still thinking about this matter, and suggested.

"Well, it should be. Teacher Yang used to be very good to us, but after graduation, he was busy with work and seldom paid attention to school affairs. If it hadn't happened today, I wouldn't know about it." Chen Wanwan started the car and said, "Bai Zhu The senior also went back to China to accompany his mother. I guess he will be in the country in the future. He is really filial. Speaking of which, breast cancer is not a minor disease. If you get it, the general family will be greatly damaged. It is also thanks to Mr. Yang that he has a good son and makes money. There is a lot of filial piety, if ordinary women would be crushed."

After a long rant, Chen Wanwan paused when she finished the last sentence. Xu Xingxing obviously has no children, she is still talking about this here, she is really stupid.

When Chen Wanwan blamed herself, Xu Xingxing smiled and said, "I'm not an ordinary woman."

When Chen Wanwan heard what she said, her heart was relieved, and she quickly said, "Yes, yes, you are an independent diamond rich lady, and our starry sky is so healthy that we won't get sick."

The two smiled again.

While smiling, Xu Xingkong remembered Weiquan Art Studio. She and Chen Wanwan, who was driving, said, "That Weiquan Art Studio was opened by Senior Bai Zhu. It's a coincidence."

"What the hell?" Chen Wanwan was shocked and said, "Senior Bai Zhu opened it? He is so talented that he can open a gallery directly, but now he only opens a small art studio? He only charges 20,000 yuan a year? Sure enough Generating electricity for love."

"Hahaha." Xu Xingxing laughed and asked, "Would you like to send Kang Kang?"

"That's a must." Chen Wanwan said with an expression on her face, "This studio is tailor-made for me."

Xu Xingxing asked with a smile, "Low price? The teacher likes children? The teacher has strong drawing skills?"

"No." Chen Wanwan said seriously, "It's the teacher who is handsome."

Speaking of this, Chen Wanwan became excited again, and said twice: "Xu Qin's mother does not deceive me, she really looks like Bai Yuanchong!"

Xu Xingxing: "..."

This face control is useless.

After Chen Wanwan finished howling, she immediately turned into a gossip face and said, "Have you noticed that you and Senior Bai Zhu have a good relationship? The university sits next to you, the studio is near your store, and you can even ask for marriage. Maybe it's an arrangement made by God."

With Chen Wanwan's mouth, after analyzing the problem, there is conclusive evidence for you to talk about things without shadows.

Xu Xingxing said: "You have to say that, the big brother who sells fish in the vegetable market has a better relationship with me."

Chen Wanwan giggled happily, looked at the road ahead, and said with a smile, "But to be honest, senior Bai Zhu is so good, aren't you excited?"

Xu Xingxing was taken aback by the question. She looked at the flat road ahead, smiled and shook her head, and said, "No."

Xu Xingxing is a very slow person. When it comes to relationships, she does not believe in love at first sight. She can't and can't fall in love with a person at once, she can only accept it little by little after in-depth contact and finally fall in love with him.

Moreover, having experienced a failed marriage, Xu Xingxing seems to be slower than before. She was always careful. After being injured once, she needed more time and understanding before she could open her heart bit by bit.

Seeing that Xu Xingxing gradually disappeared, Chen Wanwan knew that she was thinking of Wang Shunsheng's scumbag again, so she quickly adjusted the atmosphere and changed the topic.

"When we came out, I saw the nun wearing Chanel last time. But this time she wore a Burberry shawl. I really want to be a nun like this. I want to buy whatever I want and practice. I can't stop me from chasing fashion."

Xu Xingxing: "..."

If guessed correctly, the nun with the Burberry shawl should be Huaijing's mother. Listening to Chen Wanwan's description, Huaijing's mother should be a very interesting person.

Although Huaijing is serious at work, but when she usually makes trouble with her, she is very innocent and naive. She must have inherited it from her mother, right?

Xu Xingxing's brows softened, and the corners of his lips quietly raised.

The night Xu Xingxing and Chen Wanwan went to see Yang Wenyu together, Chen Wanwan asked in the group, who knows where Teacher Yang lives now.

This group is called Liuxia, and it was founded by students who stayed in Xiacheng after graduating from the German class. It was very reluctant to part with each other after graduation. Everyone said that they should help each other in Xiacheng and meet each other often. The actual situation is that people usually work and rest at irregular times, and they rarely get together. Later, they each had their own small circles, and this group basically became a group for mutual aid red envelopes for food delivery and a group for canvassing votes for parent-child competitions.

After Chen Wanwan asked such a question, the dead group with a new topic finally became active.

[The stray cat: It should be still in the faculty dormitory on the old campus of Xia Da. 】

[No husband: Why do you ask this? 】

[A big bowl: The teacher was sick some time ago, and Xingxing and I wanted to go see her. 】

[Li, Li, and Li Zisuan: Is the starry sky coming to Xiacheng? Didn't she get married in her hometown? 】

[A big bowl: hey hey! Look at me, answer the questions seriously, pong friends. 】

[Jing Zhugui: I saw it a few days ago in the faculty dormitory on the old campus of Xia Da. 】

[A big bowl: Reliable, private chat! 】

[No husband: What? Is this a private chat? 】

[A big bowl: I want to go down to see Mr. Yang on Saturday, have you gone? 】

[Wandering cat: I want to go, but I want to accompany my daughter to the dance exam that afternoon. 】

[Li Li Li Zisuan: Which school did your daughter learn dance at? how is everything? I also want my daughter to go there. 】

The topic was successfully misled, but Chen Wanwan didn't care and went to chat with someone privately.

When a few people were chatting, Xu Xingkong looked silent. Watching them chat, it seems that most of them are married and have children. When she scrolled up to read the news, Chen Wanwan's message came over.

[A big bowl: Shi Chujing wants to go together. At four o'clock in the afternoon on Saturday, let's call the teacher in advance and ask for the specific building number. 】

[Starry sky: Where do you want to meet? 】

[A big bowl: No harmony, just the same day and the same time passed. I'll pick you up on Saturday afternoon and wait for me at home. 】

[Starry sky: Obey. 】

After chatting with Chen Wanwan, after a while, Jing Zhugui sent a friend verification message. After Xu Xingxing glanced at it, he added it.

Xu Xingxing had a deep impression on Shi Chujing. The two were in the same class, and Xu Xingxing's college entrance examination score was the third in the class. After removing the monitor and the Youth League committee, the school committee became her.

Later, she needed to run for the second semester. She was stage fright and did not go up to participate. In the end, Shi Chujing succeeded in the election.

Shi Chujing's studies are also good. He is not tall, very quiet, and looks like he has studied well, and he is kind to everyone.

She has a good reputation among her classmates, so she served as the academic committee for the remaining three years.

When she was in school, she had a good relationship with Teacher Yang and visited Yang Wenyu's house several times.

Chen Wanwan asked Xu Xingxing to wait at home on Saturday, but on Saturday, Chen Wanwan released her pigeon.

This time, the cooperation with TIE gradually became busy, and finally, the remaining minister and two deputy ministers had to work overtime with the TIE delegation on Saturday.

Chen Wanwan wailed that she couldn't get there, Xu Xingxing was helpless, she could only help bring the things she bought, and took a taxi to Xia Da by herself.

It's not even the Lantern Festival yet, and Xia University has not yet started school. Only a few teachers and their children walked through the school.

campus

Also quite empty.

Xu Xingxing got off the car from the north gate. The teacher's dormitory building is relatively close to the north gate, right next to the playground. There is no obstruction from the teaching building, the lighting is good, and it is quiet.

Following the road next to the playground, when Xu Xingxing walked towards the dormitory building, he heard the sound of passing the ball on the playground.

The playground of the old campus has only been renovated in the past two years. There is artificial turf in the rubber track, and two iron frames are pressed on both sides to make football goals.

It was four o'clock in the afternoon, just as the sun was about to reach the horizon, slanting down on the ground, and the people on the lawn seemed to be kicking balls with shadows.

Xu Xingxing University took football as an elective, but the content of the exam is just to see the number of goals by hitting the ball with the foot or shooting, which is much quieter than the regular game.

The football field was in full swing, and a tall man with slightly longer hair, a white headband and a white jersey was passing with his back to Xu Xingxing.

The football was small, it seemed to stick to his leg, and after he had run past two people, he hit the final blow and kicked the ball into the goal.

After scoring the goal, several people gave a celebratory high-five, while the man turned his head.

Inadvertently meeting Xu Xingxing's gaze, both of them were stunned.

The man playing the ball is Bai Zhu.

Xu Xingxing looked back, thinking that although she was going to Teacher Yang's house, she would not bother Bai Zhu when she was playing football, and Bai Zhu might not know her either.

Xu Xingxing turned around and was about to leave, but as soon as he turned around, the man behind him called out.

"Xu Xingxing."

With three words in full, Xu Xingxing paused and turned around.

The playground was surrounded by black railings. Bai Zhu put his hands on the railings, leaned down slightly, and looked down at her.

The clothes he usually wears are a bit loose, but today, in order to keep warm, he wore a black tight-fitting sports uniform inside the wide football uniform. It seems that because of playing football all the year round, the lines of his calf muscles are beautiful.

There was some uncertainty in his obsidian eyes. Seeing that Xu Xingkong did not answer, he asked again.

"Is it?"

Unexpectedly, Bai Zhu not only knew her, but even called her by her name. Xu Xingxing was also surprised, she nodded and said, "Hello, senior, I'm going to see Teacher Yang."

"I know, my mother told me." Bai Zhu said, looked at Xu Xingxing and said, "Wait with me."

After Bai Zhu finished speaking, before Xu Xingkong could answer, he turned around and waved to the people on the court. Then, he trotted to the gate of the playground, and ran to Xu Xingxing after going out.

Standing in the mottled sunlight, he looked fresh and healthy, but he couldn't hide his coldness. He looked down at Xu Xingxing and said, "Let's go."

"Oh, good." Xu Xingxing nodded and followed.

He didn't sweat on his body, he should have just come to play football not long ago. Xu Xingxing felt a little disturbed to him, but he didn't feel it himself, so Xu Xingxing didn't say much.

Bai Zhu opened the door, and Xu Xingxing walked in first. When entered the door, saw Yang Wenyu sitting on the sofa, and another woman wearing only a black dress.

The woman looked quite petite, but her makeup was exquisite and she looked very sweet. Her half-length hair was scattered around her shoulders, and she smiled and called at Xu Xingxing.

"Starry sky."

After not seeing him for a few years, Xu Xingxing couldn't recognize Shi Chujing.

"Hello." After Xu Xingxing greeted with a smile, he looked at Yang Wenyu, his smile deepened, "Teacher."

The staff dormitory is an old house, but the decoration of Mr. Yang's house is very new, it should have been renovated recently.

The sofa in her house is an off-white fabric sofa. There is a table in front of it and two low tables, both of which are mahogany. Next to the sofa, there is a red lantern-shaped table lamp, and next to the table lamp are two mahogany high chairs.

The whole decoration of the teacher's house seems to be biased towards the aesthetics of the elderly, but there are some eccentricities of young people, such as the patterned lamps on the ceiling.

To be able to fuse the two styles together, and to blend so naturally, is indeed an artist.

While the three of them were chatting, Bai Zhu returned to his room and changed his jersey. He didn't play the ball for a long time, and he didn't sweat. After changing his jersey, he put on a pair of light-colored linen wide-leg pants and a dark linen-colored oversized sweater and went out the door.

As soon as he arrived in the living room, Bai Zhu went to the low table and took out a tea set to prepare tea. Pointing his finger between the tea bags, Bai Zhu looked up at Xu Xingxing.

"What tea would you like to drink?"

"Huh?" Xu Xingxing, who was talking to Yang Wenyu, came back to his senses and said, "It's fine."

Shi Chujing watched the two of them go back and forth, put his eyes on the tea set, and said to Bai Zhu, "I remember that at the teacher's house in college, Senior Bai Zhu also used this tea set to make tea for us."

Bai Zhu gave her a shallow look and nodded.

The light in Shi Chujing's eyes flickered slightly.

"You still remember." Yang Wenyu felt a little incredible.

"Of course I remember." Shi Chujing said with a smile, hugging Yang Wenyu's arm obediently, and said, "I remember how many times I came to the teacher's house."

"Remember to come often in the future." Yang Wenyu said with a smile.

"Sure." Shi Chujing nodded.

"You come often, Starry Sky." Yang Wenyu looked back at Starry Sky and said softly.

Xu Xingxing smiled, nodded and said, "If you have a chance, come here."

"Is Xingkong in Xiacheng from now on?" Shi Chujing asked Xu Xingkong.

Shi Chujing asked her for the first sentence, but Xu Xingxing thought it was just a greeting, so he nodded and said, "Well."

After listening to her words, Shi Chujing sighed lightly and said with a concerned look: "If you graduate and stay in Xiacheng and don't go back to your hometown to get married, you should be better than most of our classmates now."

After Shi Chujing finished speaking, the three people in the room looked at her together.

Xu Xingxing looked at Shi Chujing and frowned slightly. Although getting married is not a shameful thing, she doesn't want to bring up her private affairs in front of others.

"Xingxing is married?" Yang Wenyu asked in surprise.

Bai Zhu put the tea bag in and withdrew his gaze from Shi Chujing's face.

"Well." Xu Xingxing smiled lightly and said, "But divorced."

Hearing what Xu Xingxing said, Shi Chujing didn't seem to know about her divorce. She glanced at Xu Xingxing cautiously and said, "I'm sorry, I don't know..."

Xu Xingxing pursed his lips and said, "It's alright."

As if to make up for the mistake she just made, Shi Chujing said: "It is right to come to Xiacheng, there are more opportunities to work here, and it is easier to meet new friends. Alas, my mother has been staying in her hometown since the divorce, thinking Remarriage has not found a suitable one. After a divorce, it is not so easy to find someone to marry."

The brows furrowed a little tighter, Xu Xingxing snorted and didn't answer.

Bai Zhu made the tea, pushed the teacup to Shi Chujing's side, and opened his mouth lightly.

"Auntie didn't remarry because of you, right?"

Bai Zhu took the initiative to talk to her, Shi Chujing's eyes jumped, she blushed, and said, "Well, yes."

In fact, Bai Zhu's words have two meanings in the fine product. The aunt on the first floor didn't get married because she was afraid it would be bad for Shi Chujing, and the aunt on the second floor didn't get married because she brought Shi Chujing's oil bottle.

Bai Zhu took the teacup and handed it to Xu Xingxing. When Xu Xingxing was picking up the cup, the two of them looked at each other, and a smile flashed in the other's eyes.

He is the second meaning!

Xu Xingxing and Shi Chujing both left after dinner. When they were about to leave, Bai Zhu got up to see off the guests. Open the door and go out, it's already dark outside.

Glancing at the dark corridor window, Bai Zhu looked at Xu Xingxing and said, "I'll take you off."

Before Shi Chujing could speak, Xu Xingxing refused.

"No, it's easy to take a taxi at the entrance of the school, and we all live not far away, so the senior should take care of Mr. Yang at home. Right?"

Xu Xingxing glanced at Shi Chujing and asked.

Xu Xingxing's words completely blocked other possibilities. She glanced at Xu Xingxing and replied, "Yes."

Since the two said so, Bai Zhu did not insist, and after sending the two downstairs to the campus road with street lights, he went home first.

Xu Xingxing kept walking in front of Shi Chujing. She looked up at Xu Xingxing and said with a smile, "Your character is stronger than before, and you can help others make decisions."

Immediately walking to the north gate, Xu Xingxing looked up at Shi Chujing, and said lightly, "I'm here to see Teacher Yang today, not to argue with you. Belittling me can't elevate you, and it makes you look like you. Pretty impolite."

After listening to Xu Xingxing's words, Shi Chujing looked at her with admiration. It hurts when the little wild cat scratches, not to mention that she slapped her paw on the top of her heart.

The two stood at the door, and Shi Chujing looked at Xu Xingxing and said, "I didn't mean to belittle you, I said it unintentionally. Do you really care so much about your divorce?"

Without answering Shi Chujing's words, Xu Xingxing got into the taxi and said calmly, "Master, go to Hefeng Apartment."

Xu Xingxing got off the taxi and hadn't walked into the apartment when she suddenly felt a beam of light shining from the road below her. She squinted her eyes subconsciously, and when she looked back, the light had been turned off, leaving only one car and the man sitting in the car.

The lights were on in the car, illuminating Huaijing in the car. He sat in the driver's seat, his hands on the steering wheel casually, and he didn't have time to remove his tie and suit jacket. At this time, he was looking up at her.

Everything around was dark, only a small circle of light in the car illuminated him, as if it illuminated Xu Xingxing's dark heart.

Biting his lower lip slightly, Xu Xingxing turned around and walked towards the man step by step.

The two of them have not seen each other for a week. In addition to the cooperation with TIE, IO is preparing to establish a cooperation with a French company, plus the matter in White's...

He was really too busy, she didn't expect that she could still see him when he was so busy.

As the distance got closer, Xu Xingxing could clearly see the man under the light.

Although he has a lot of work, his eyes are still full of energy, and there is also his inherent laziness and coldness, as well as a faint smile in the deepest part.

His skin was illuminated transparently by the light, but his facial features looked more delicate. The long eyebrows are slightly raised, the eyes are deep, and the lips are slightly hooked under the high nose bridge. In this night, the temptation is charming.

Walking to the front of the car, Xu Xingxing reached out and opened the car door. She glanced at Huaijing in the car, and got into the car.

After she got in the car, Huai Jing tilted her head to look at her and asked, "Where did you go today?"

"Huh?" Xu Xingxing turned his head and glanced at him. After reacting, he replied, "I went to the university teacher's house. She is ill. Go see her."

"Teacher forced you to do the question?" Huaijing snorted, tapped the woman's slightly wrinkled eyebrows with her finger, and asked softly, "Why are you so preoccupied?"

The man's fingers were warm and soft, and after the eyebrows were lightly tapped, the stagnation in Xu Xingxing's heart melted.

In fact, it is not depressed, just a little understanding.

Shi Chujing is also a woman, and her mother is also divorced. Why does she still despise divorced women.

Yes, she experienced a failed marriage, but after her divorce, she found that she was very happy. These happiness were not found in her marriage with Wang Shunsheng.

What happened to the divorce?

Thinking of this, Xu Xingxing's mouth bulged slightly and asked Huaijing.

"Are divorced women no one likes?"

This is the first time Xu Xingxing has raised such a question. When he raised it, his voice was still soft, but there was a little grievance in his tone.

Huaijing's heart seemed to be in her hands, and her every move restrained him.

"Who said that?" Huai Jing raised her eyes to look at Xu Xingxing, her lips slightly raised, and asked, "Am I not human?"
