Qi Xiaoyan made Mapo Tofu, Braised Loofah, Stir-fried Wood Ear Mushrooms with Pork, and a bowl of Seaweed and Egg Soup. Although they were all simple home-style dishes, they looked, smelled, and tasted delicious after being prepared by Chef Qi. Yang Wei finished a whole plate of Mapo Tofu by herself.
She felt that this was a benefit she only received after the divorce; before, getting Professor Qi to cook was practically a battle of wits.
She ate a slice of loofah that had been cooled by blowing on it, and suddenly asked Qi Xiaoyan, "How many digits of pi can you remember?"
Qi Xiaoyan was taken aback for a moment, then said, "I haven't tried it, but the world record is 67,890."
Yang Wei choked on the loofah: "Over 60,000...can you do that too?"
"If you try to memorize it intentionally, you should be able to."
Yang Wei: "..."
What's the structure of your brains? Don't you feel cramped storing so many numbers?
She picked up her phone from the coffee table and tapped the screen a few times: "I'll play you a song."
After Yang Wei finished speaking, an electronic female voice rang out in the room: "3.141592654..."
Qi Xiaoyan's eyebrows twitched: "What song is this?"
"How about a song praising pi?"
"The lyrics are good, but the singing is not very good."
Yang Wei: "..."
She turned off the player and silently lowered her head to eat.
Since Qi Xiaoyan cooked the meal, the task of washing the dishes fell to Yang Wei. Qi Xiaoyan checked the time, walked to the kitchen, and said to her, "I have class tonight, I'll be going now."
"Oh." Yang Wei glanced back at him. She had class tonight? What class?
She tilted her head slightly and continued washing the dishes. By the time she finished cleaning the kitchen, it was almost 7:30. Yang Wei logged into the teaching software to prepare for class.
"Well, before we start class, I'd like to mention that the next class will be on May Day. The class schedule will remain the same during the May Day holiday. If any students are unable to attend, please inform the academic affairs office in advance, and we can make up for it via video later. Also, after May Day, we will have graduation project classes. I will tell you the topic of your graduation project on Saturday so you can start preparing."
Future rich and handsome guy: Wow, graduation is so fast! qwq
Coco: Teacher, can I really graduate even though my drawing is so bad? T^T
998: I won't be able to hear Teacher Huajuan's soft and cute voice anymore after graduation. I'm so lonely.
Kiki's Meow: You can also sign up to listen!
Li Gou Dan :)
"Make sure your graduation project is well done. It needs to be high-quality. Don't just hand it in a lonely figure. Make sure the lighting and shadows are clear." After saying that, Yang Wei frowned slightly. Speaking of which, why hasn't her period come this month? It's almost ten days late.
She opened the artwork she had started halfway through the previous lesson and stopped thinking about it: "Okay, let's continue drawing this church in this lesson."
The entire class period was spent demonstrating, and Yang Wei finished the church painting before the get out of class ended. Just as she exited the teaching software, she saw the Calabash Brothers icon in the lower right corner flashing incessantly.
Twin Gourds: Vivi and Xia Ying have resigned and returned to City A.
Yang Wei was taken aback. Xia Ying was their college classmate, and after graduation, she went to D City to develop her career. Yang Wei had always heard Jian Shuang say that Xia Ying had a good salary and benefits there and might stay in D City. Why did she suddenly come back?
"What happened? (⊙o⊙)?"
Twin Gourds: She said she was sexually harassed by her boss.
Yang Wei was taken aback: "...Is this really not a joke? I saw the exact same one just a few days ago."
Twin Gourds: It shouldn't be, because she has already packed her bags and bought her train ticket, and she'll be back tomorrow.
Yang Wei: "..."
Twin Gourds: You don't have any plans for May Day, right? Let's go to Shanghe Garden to see the flowers together. The hundreds of acres of flowers there should be able to heal her wounded heart.
Huajuan: But it's a bit far to Shanghe, how do we get there?
Twin Gourds: I'm driving! I got my driver's license!
Huajuan: ...:)
Twin Gourds: What's with that laugh? Are you questioning my skills? :)
Huajuan: No, it's just that Xia Ying just got back, so let's not put her in any danger.
Twin Gourds: It seems you don't want your salary anymore, huh? [Bye]
Huajuan: You better not delay paying my wages, I know a lawyer :)
Jian Shuang: "..."
Yeah, a divorce lawyer.
In the end, Jian Shuang drove them there. Before going to bed, Yang Wei took out the amulet that was under her pillow and solemnly prayed to it.
On the second day, at the end of the sports meet, the principal announced the total score rankings of each class. Class 2 of Grade 5 ranked first in Grade 5 with a 1.8-point advantage.
Back in the classroom, the students were still very excited. Yang Wei clapped her hands to quiet them down: "Alright, the May Day holiday starts tomorrow. The holiday is from the 1st to the 3rd, and the 4th is Monday. Remember to come to class on time!"
"Okay!"
Because the sports meet had just ended and it was May Day, the students were all incredibly excited, as if they had been injected with adrenaline. After giving a few simple instructions on safety, Yang Wei asked the class representatives to come up and assign homework.
Before school ended, there was a big school cleaning, and Yang Wei was very excited about the three-day holiday that followed. After cleaning her office, Yang Wei checked her phone while tidying up. There was a new WeChat message from Jian Shuang.
"I've already booked the tickets online. I'll pick you up downstairs at your place at seven tomorrow morning."
Yang Wei frowned: "So early?"
Jian Shuang: "There will definitely be a lot of people tomorrow. I estimate we won't arrive until almost noon."
Yang Wei: "..."
That's why she doesn't want to go out during holidays; it's much better to stay home and watch others crowd around.
When Yang Wei left the school gate, she found that Qi Xiaoyan's car was still parked at the entrance. She walked over without being surprised.
Qi Xiaoyan considerately helped her fasten her seatbelt before starting the car. He glanced at Yang Wei beside him and asked, "What are your plans for May Day?"
Yang Wei blinked and asked, "Do you want to ask me out?"
"Didn't you say you wanted to hold hands while eating, shopping, and watching movies?"
Yang Wei looked at him and chuckled twice, saying, "Too bad you're too late, someone has already made plans with me."
Qi Xiaoyan frowned slightly: "Who? The Maserati from yesterday?"
“…It’s not called Maserati, okay?” Yang Wei twitched the corner of her mouth. “It’s Jian Shuang. She said Xia Ying is back, and we’ll go with her to Shanghe Garden to see the flowers tomorrow.”
Qi Xiaoyan looked at her with a puzzled expression: "What's wrong with her?"
"I heard she was sexually harassed by her boss."
Qi Xiaoyan's brows twitched, and he gave Yang Wei a deep look. Yang Wei's lips twitched, and she asked, "What do you mean by looking at me like that? If this were me, I would definitely have him humanely destroyed."
"It's okay if it's not so humane."
...I didn't realize Professor Qi was even more ruthless than her.
After dropping Yang Wei off at home, Qi Xiaoyan still eagerly followed her in. Professor Qi, who was actively trying to impress, once again took on the responsibility of cooking. Watching him bustling about in the kitchen, Yang Wei wondered if he was using that trick—to win someone's heart, you must first win their stomach?
Could it be that Professor Qi has also studied "The Art of War"?
She raised an eyebrow and went to the bedroom to pack what she needed for tomorrow. When Qi Xiaoyan came to call her for dinner, she was still pondering which outfit to wear tomorrow while looking at the wardrobe.
Qi Xiaoyan walked over and leaned against the wardrobe, looking at her: "Don't dress too revealingly, don't drink alcohol, be careful, and call me when you arrive."
Yang Wei pursed her lips and took out a jumpsuit: "What are you planning to do tomorrow?"
"Write a thesis."
Yang Wei: "..."
Yes, she should have thought of that sooner.
When Qi Xiaoyan turned around, she saw the wedding photo on the wall and paused in her tracks.
"What's wrong?" Yang Wei leaned closer to look at him. It wasn't the first time he'd seen her graffiti on his face. Qi Xiaoyan turned around and said to her, "You tore down Mo Zhen's poster?"
"Ah, that—" Yang Wei glanced to the side, deliberately drawing out the last syllable as if giving herself time to think, "I wanted to change to a better-looking one."
"Oh, why didn't it stick on?"
"Because we haven't found anything better yet."
Qi Xiaoyan chuckled and suddenly hugged her. Yang Wei tensed up immediately: "What are you doing?"
"It's nothing, I just wanted to hug you for a while."
"I'm warning you, don't do anything reckless."
Qi Xiaoyan smiled, his pale lips brushing against her ear like feathers: "Time to eat."
...
"Just eat, you don't need to stand so close, I can hear you!"
Professor Qi prepared three dishes and a soup as usual, none of them the same as yesterday. After finishing the meal, he even washed the dishes before leaving the apartment. Yang Wei went to bed early after class.
At seven o'clock the next morning, Jian Shuang arrived at Yang Wei's building on time. Xia Ying was already in the car, and Yang Wei sat with her in the back seat, making sure to fasten her seatbelt.
"Yang Wei, you got a haircut?" Xia Ying asked in surprise when she saw Yang Wei. Yang Wei nodded, smiled at her, and said, "How is it? Does it look good?"
"It looks beautiful. Where was it done?"
"D&K".
Xia Ying said, "I also have a membership card there. Let's get treatments together sometime."
"OK!"
Jian Shuang, sitting in the front row, chuckled and said, "Can two rich people put their cars on my car to show off? It really affects the driver's mood."
...
This threat was serious, and Xia Ying and Yang Wei both shut their mouths.
Jian Shuang drove fairly steadily, but Yang Wei was still a little worried: "Shuang'er, is this your first time driving on the highway?"
