Chapter 175: Keeping Tian Xianma Close

"Regarding admissions, our school's current policy is that one must pass the College Entrance Exam to enroll full-time students, just like cultural universities."

"Other than that, there is continuing education for employed personnel; this only requires a recommendation from a teacher with an Associate Professor rank or higher, or a recommendation from a national-level art performance troupe."

"What, do you have any need here?"

"The female Assistant Professor slowly introduced."

"Xu Yuexin listened attentively beside them, nodding from time to time."

"Since Tian Xianma said she wanted a learning opportunity and didn't mention a diploma, let's secure a continuing‑education chance for her."

"Xu Yuexin pondered."

"Yes, I have a friend; she is a dancer at a local Song and Dance Theater."

"She has always wanted a chance to improve her dance theory knowledge, so I came today to inquire for her."

"May I ask whether you could recommend my friend, so she can enroll in your school for further study?"

"Oh, you mentioned continuing education; I can recommend your friend. Tell me her situation."

"The female Assistant Professor readily agreed."

"Xu Yuexin then explained Tian Xianma's circumstances."

"When he left the Assistant Professor's home, he already had a freshly written recommendation letter in his hand."

"Back at Guogongfu, Xu Yuexin called Tian Xianma to tell her the good news."

"I've secured a continuing‑education spot at the Jingcheng Dance Academy for you."

"Do you want to come over?"

"What! Jingcheng Dance Academy? Continuing education?"

"From the receiver came Tian Xianma's surprised voice, 'Where did you manage to get it from?'"

"I found an acquaintance."

"You should quickly ask for leave from your unit and come over; the academy stops accepting this year's continuing‑education students after November."

"Alright, alright, I'll make it over within three days."

"…"

"Two days later, Xu Yuexin met Tian Xianma at Jicheng Railway Station, who had traveled a thousand miles again to arrive."

"Today the weather was colder than when we held the concert before; Tian Xianma wore the Wool Coat he bought, with a white turtleneck cashmere sweater underneath, looking graceful and strikingly elegant."

"Thank you for securing such a good opportunity for me."

"Seeing Xu Yuexin, Tian Xianma's mouth curved with a smile and said, 'It must have taken you a lot of effort, right?'"

"It was fine."

"Xu Yuexin said, 'Didn't you say you wanted a chance to study theoretical knowledge?'"

"I went back and found someone for you."

"Tian Xianma nodded movedly."

"Obviously, Xu Yuexin truly kept her in mind."

"After leaving the station, Xu Yuexin naturally escorted Tian Xianma back to Guogongfu, letting her stay in the same room as last time."

"I brought you some things."

"After settling the luggage, Tian Xianma opened one suitcase and lifted out two tightly sealed large packages."

"Lotus roots from CCTV, and asparagus from Huangpi."

"They look fresh; they're Wuhan specialties, right?"

"Yes. I wanted to buy you something, but thought you lack nothing, so I just brought some local specialties."

"Alright. Next time you come from home, remember to buy me two bear paws."

"Sure, I'll buy them for you."

"Tian Xianma thought Xu Yuexin was being sincere and earnestly promised."

"Hearing her reply, Xu Yuexin laughed."

"Are you being silly?"

"How could I really ask you to buy bear paws."

"After Xu Yuexin finished speaking, he affectionately pinched Tian Xianma's delicate nose, causing a flush to spread across her face. 'You said it out loud, so I took it seriously,' he said."

"So you're a goof."

"Xu Yuexin pinched Tian Xianma's flushed cheek and said, 'First submit the recommendation letter; once the admission notice arrives, you, I, and the recommending teacher will have a meal together.'"

"Ask her to look after you more at school in the future."

"Also, dormitories at major schools in Jing are tight now; if the Dance Academy doesn't provide housing for continuing‑education students, you can stay at my place."

"Living here wouldn't be bad, right? It's not like during the concert."

"Tian Xianma hesitated."

"It's fine; just say you'll be collaborating long‑term with my Da Yizi in the future."

"Xu Yuexin said unyieldingly, 'Wait here for me; in a moment I'll take you to the Dance Academy to register.'"

"After speaking, Xu Yuexin left the Zhongyuan annex, returned to the Guogong Mansion Main Hall, took out his Rolex watch and put it on, then put on his Bvlgari sunglasses."

"Aside from that female Assistant Professor, Xu Yuexin wasn't familiar with the Dance Academy side."

"First respect the robes, then respect the person; today, bringing Tian Xianma to make her first appearance there, he must demonstrate his capability."

"That way, when Tian Xianma stays at the school later, no one will trouble her."

"Dressed in his gear, Xu Yuexin returned to Zhongyuan, called Tian Xianma, and they left together."

"Truly luxurious."

"Seeing Xu Yuexin's watch and sunglasses, Tian Xianma genuinely praised."

Even though she hadn't seen the watch and sunglasses brands, she could still tell they were quite valuable.

Especially when worn on Xu Yuexin's wrist or his face, it truly makes people unable to resist taking another look.

The Dance Academy is some distance from the East Second Ring; Xu Yuexin mounted his motorcycle, took Tian Xianma along at speed, and finally arrived before lunch.

When the two arrived at the school's Academic Affairs Office, the staff in charge of processing the continuing‑education paperwork were already planning to slip away early to the cafeteria.

However, after hearing Xu Yuexin's request and seeing his expensive attire, the staff honestly returned to their seats and processed the paperwork for them.

Looking at the young man's appearance, I can't tell which kind of immortal he is.

Let's first take care of his partner's paperwork.

The staff thought.

When the paperwork was finished, Xu Yuexin pulled a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and tossed it onto the table: "Take it home and smoke."

These days, whether you smoke or not, carrying a pack of cigarettes is always appropriate and handy when you need to trouble someone.

"You are truly courteous."

The staff smiled at him and took the cigarettes.

This young man is really generous; no wonder he can have such a beautiful partner.

He thought to himself.

In the evening, Xu Yuexin took Tian Xianma with him and invited the former female Assistant Professor for a meal, asking her to give him plenty of guidance while at school.

"Lili is a good seedling."

"I will certainly pour out everything I know and teach it all to her."

Inside a private room at Xin Qiao Hotel, the Assistant Professor, halfway through her meal, assured Xu Yuexin and Tian Xianma, "I believe that once the continuing education ends, her level will improve greatly."

"Teacher, you flatter me. In the future, if I make mistakes in practice, please criticize me harshly."

……

The dinner ended in a relaxed, friendly atmosphere; when both parties finished and left the hotel, the sky outside was already dark.

Xu Yuexin escorted the Assistant Professor to a nearby taxi Dispatch Point, called a taxi for her home, and then returned with Tian Xianma to Guogongfu.

"After the continuing education, stay in Jingcheng."

When heading toward the place where the motorcycle was parked, Xu Yuexin slipped his arm around Tian Xianma's shoulder and calmly suggested.

Do you really want to stay?

In the cold wind, Tian Xianma fell into thought and said nothing.
