Yang Wei covered her face in the back; she really never wanted to come to this supermarket again.
The two of them carried several large bags of things home. Yang Wei leaned against the side and watched Qi Xiaoyan neatly put the things into the refrigerator: "You can leave once you've put them away. I have class later."
Qi Xiaoyan paused for a moment, then turned her head to look at her: "Is it a painting class?"
"Um."
Qi Xiaoyan nodded, put her things down, picked up her car keys and walked out. When she reached the door, she suddenly turned around and said to Yang Wei, "You look very beautiful today."
Yang Wei was stunned for a long time before she realized that this was what she had said before: "I must praise her for being beautiful once a day." She plopped down on the sofa, hugging a cushion and laughing uncontrollably.
How come she never noticed before that Professor Qi was so adorable?

On Tuesday, Yang Wei received a call from the police station saying that the robber had been caught and that she should come to claim her lost items. After get off work, Yang Wei went straight to the police station, but her wallet and phone had already been sold; she only recovered a few thousand yuan in cash.
However, she was already quite relieved. After signing the papers and acknowledging the servants, she took the bus back to her apartment. Because she was carrying a large sum of money, several thousand yuan, Yang Wei followed Jian Shuang's instructions and kept her bag in front of her the entire time.
When Yang Wei got home, she saw Qi Xiaoyan's car parked downstairs. She raised an eyebrow and went inside. Sure enough, she saw Qi Xiaoyan fiddling with something on the balcony.
She tossed her bag onto the sofa and walked over: "What are you doing?"
Hearing Yang Wei's voice, Qi Xiaoyan turned around, her hands still covered in dirt: "Why are you only coming back now?"
“I went to the police station. The robber was caught, and they told me to come and collect the money.”
The description of receiving money left Qi Xiaoyan feeling somewhat powerless. He walked over to Yang Wei and asked, "What did you recover?"
"Only cash, but it's still pretty good."
Qi Xiaoyan nodded, and Yang Wei craned her neck to peek behind him: "What are you doing on the balcony? Why are your hands still covered in dirt?"
"Didn't you say you were going to send me flowers? I bought some flowers."
"Huh?" Yang Wei walked past him and went straight to the balcony. There was a long, narrow flower bed on the balcony, filled with roses that had just sprouted buds. Several flowerpots with hooks hung on the iron railings, their flowers also about to bloom. Yang Wei looked at them; there were cosmos, mixed-color roses, and double-petaled morning glories.
"Because I was worried you wouldn't be able to keep them alive, I bought flowers that are about to bloom. I originally wanted to choose blue roses, but I was still worried you wouldn't be able to keep them alive, so I bought red and pink ones instead."
Yang Wei: "..."
She can support herself, so how could she not support a few flowers!
She looked out from the balcony and discovered that Qi Xiaoyan had not only bought flowers, but also watering cans, shovels, and fertilizer.
She looked up at Qi Xiaoyan and smiled: "So you want me to grow the flowers myself when you send them to me?"
"Isn't this more meaningful? You can just water them a little every morning before you leave. You don't need to add too much fertilizer; the instructions are on the label."
Yang Wei stared at him in silence for a while, then exhaled and asked, "Don't you have... pre-packaged bouquets?"
"Yes, but I feel more attached to the flowers I grow myself."
Yang Wei: "..."
But I just want to receive those beautiful bouquets! I'm so superficial!
Qi Xiao paused for a moment, then asked, "Don't you like it?"
"No, not really. I'll water them every day. I'm going to cook now, you..."
Qi Xiaoyan looked at her, and Yang Wei paused for a moment before saying, "Stay for dinner." She then went to the kitchen, while Qi Xiaoyan smiled and continued tending to the flowers and plants on the balcony.
Yang Wei opened the refrigerator and looked around. She had bought a lot of things at the supermarket yesterday. After thinking for a moment, she decided to cook hot pot for dinner. Luckily, she still had a bag of hot pot ingredients. After cooking rice in the rice cooker, Yang Wei started stirring the hot pot ingredients. The pungent and spicy smell made Yang Wei's eyes a little blurry. Thinking about how Professor Qi would look eating hot pot later, Yang Wei couldn't help but smile.
She placed the induction cooker on the dining table, and after the broth boiled, she poured in some meat. Qi Xiaoyan sat down opposite her, looking at the induction cooker in front of her: "Hot pot tonight?"
"Yeah, I bought a lot of groceries yesterday, we need to eat quickly." Yang Wei stirred the food in the pot with her chopsticks, glanced at him, and said, "Don't worry, it won't be as spicy as the sad jelly noodles from the other day, and I also cooked rice."
As she spoke, she got up again, took out a family-sized carton of yogurt from the refrigerator, poured a cup, and placed it in front of Qi Xiaoyan: "It's good for relieving spiciness, and it works very well."
Qi Xiaoyan silently picked up the yogurt and took a sip.
Yang Wei thoroughly enjoyed the meal, consuming two-thirds of the food. She deliberately used very little seasoning when cooking, so the flavor wasn't spicy at all for her, which is why Professor Qi still managed to eat about a third of it.
Yang Wei finished the last head of broccoli, and Qi Xiaoyan finished a large carton of yogurt. He put down his cup, looked at the person across from him who was eating with a satisfied expression, and said, "I risked getting an upset stomach tomorrow to eat this hot pot with you."
Yang Wei chuckled as she sipped her chopsticks, "Yeah, I must have saved the universe in my past life."
Qi Xiaoyan: "..."
Yang Wei stretched and tossed the dishwashing job to Qi Xiaoyan: "I'll cook and you wash the dishes, that's fair. I'm going to class."
Qi Xiaoyan checked the time; it was almost 7:30, and he... had to go to class.
He stood up and started clearing the dishes. Not long after, he heard Yang Wei ask from the bedroom, "Huh, why didn't Li Gou Dan come to class today?"
Qi Xiaoyan: "..."
He quickly finished washing the dishes, walked to the bedroom door, and called out to Yang Wei, "I'm leaving now."
Yang Wei turned around and nodded to him, while the students on the other end of the internet connection erupted in excitement as if they had discovered a new continent.
Future rich and handsome man: There's a man's voice over there, Ms. Huajuan!
Coco: I heard that too.
Kiki's Meow: She's got another man so quickly, she really is a womanizer! [laughing emoji]
998: The teacher couldn't resist showing off their relationship during class! [Bye]
Yang Wei: "..."
She coughed lightly and explained, "That's my text message notification tone."
As shrewd as Liang Minghao was, he naturally didn't believe her. He went to Fang Chengran's room to check and made sure he was really home before sighing and returning to his own bedroom.
Sigh, it seems my uncle is out of the running.
Halfway through class, Li Gou Dan arrived late. Yang Wei saw him enter the classroom and said, "Li Gou Dan, class is already halfway through."
Li Gou Dan: I went out for hot pot today and just got back.
"What a coincidence, I also had hot pot today—"
Li Gou Dan :)
"Today is the first coloring lesson. You'll need to watch the recording to catch up on the lessons afterward."
Li Gou Dan :)
Yang Wei felt that this was a truly versatile expression, conveying a sense of wisdom that speaks volumes without words.
After class, Yang Wei took a shower and lay in bed reading a novel. "The Whole World Belongs Only to My Princess" had been updated again. In the latest chapter, it was revealed that the princess the male protagonist saved was actually an assassin sent by the Great Demon King to kill him in disguise. However, the male protagonist had already seen through everything, so he stabbed her to death.
Readers expressed their dismay, saying, "Author, the plot is so dramatic, our hearts can't take it!"
Yang Wei threw a bombshell at her, leaving a "Great job, big shot!" comment before turning off her phone and going to sleep.
Meanwhile, some people were in a state of utter panic.
Song Jin's agent threw a few photos on the table and said to her, "I don't want to ask you who this man is anymore. How are you going to handle this?"
Song Jin glanced down at the photos on the table and said calmly, "This is the agent's job."
The agent chuckled: "Eating, chatting, going in and out of hotels, the paparazzi said they even have photos of you going back to your apartment together. Looks like they've been watching you for a long time and are planning to make a series about you."
Song Jin remained silent. Her agent, sitting in the boss's chair, was silent for a while before speaking again: "This is the first love you mentioned, right? I heard he's a professor at Imperial University? He has a good image and a good profession. I've already contacted a reporter from 'Star News 30 Minutes' to have them publish this news as soon as possible. The headline could be something like, 'Goddess Returns to Campus and Reunites with First Love, Are They Suspected of Rekindling Their Old Flame?'"
Song Jin's eyes flickered, and her agent raised an eyebrow at her: "That way, when the paparazzi release the photos they have, the impact will be greatly reduced, and it can also help promote the movie. You know I hate paparazzi the most, and I will not pay them."
Song Jin looked up at her and said, "Isn't it a bit inappropriate to use other people to create hype?"
The agent chuckled: "So you're telling me these photos are all photoshopped?"
Song Jin frowned slightly. Her agent stood up from the boss's chair and said to her, "You can go back now. Don't delay tomorrow's schedule."
Song Jin looked at her for a while, then picked up her coat and left the office.
The editors of "News 30 Minutes" efficiently wrote the article overnight and published the news online. After seeing the news, the paparazzi also released all the photos they had without hesitation. Within just half an hour, Song Jin became the number one trending topic on Weibo, even overshadowing the news of a certain boy band's new song release.
The next day at work, Teacher Yao pulled her aside as if she'd been injected with adrenaline: "Did you see the Weibo post I tagged you on last night?"
"Weibo? What Weibo?" Yang Wei took her phone out of her bag and logged into Weibo. The twenty-odd tag notifications that popped up in the upper right corner surprised her slightly. She clicked on them to check and found that everyone who had tagged her was sending the same message.
Qi Xiaoyan and Song Jin have rekindled their old flame? Hahaha, Professor Qi is doing quite well these days, he's even on Weibo's trending topics!
Teacher Yao leaned closer and glanced at her phone: "Isn't that Professor Qi in the photo? Didn't you hear anything about it before?"
Yang Wei put her phone back in her bag and walked to her seat: "No, he and I are divorced. These things have nothing to do with me."
Teacher Yao thought it made sense and went to sit down in her seat. She opened her music textbook and prepared for the lesson for a while, then turned to look at Yang Wei curiously: "Guess how Professor Qi is doing now?"
As soon as Qi Xiaoyan stepped out of the dormitory building, she was surrounded by a group of reporters.
"Professor Qi, was you the first love that Song Jin mentioned in the interview?"
"Professor Qi, what is your relationship with Song Jin now? Is it really a rekindling of old feelings?"
"Professor Qi, reporters photographed you returning to Song Jin's apartment together. What is your explanation for this?"
"Professor Qi..."
The reporters kept asking questions. Qi Xiaoyan glanced at them and asked, "Suppose there are n points (three or more) on a plane. A straight line passing through any two of these points passes through the third point among these n points. How can you prove that these n points lie on the same straight line?"
reporter:"……"
What is he saying?
"Just as you can't answer my questions, I can't answer yours either." Qi Xiaoyan finished speaking and pushed his way through the reporters' encirclement. After his figure disappeared, one reporter, holding a microphone, asked the reporter next to him, "Did he just say that two points determine a straight line?"
"Bullshit, he was talking about the Sylvester problem."
Reporter A turned to look at him: "You know so much? Why didn't you answer him just now?"
Reporter B said, "Because I've only heard the title of this question."
When Qi Xiaoyan walked into the classroom, the previously noisy classroom immediately quieted down. However, the way the students looked at him revealed their surging emotions.
The class monitor couldn't help but ask first, "Professor Qi, is Song Jin really your girlfriend?"
The Youth League branch secretary said sadly, "Professor Qi, you really went to Song Jin's house?"
