Chapter 103: Pot-Wearing (Part 2)

Question: Is Tan Zhizhi smart?

Answer: Definitely smarter than Liu Jiaoyue.

Question: Is Tan Zhizhi sensitive?

Answer: In any case, more sensitive than Liu Jiaoyue.

Therefore, for Yang Tianxing, he would rather Liu Jiaoyue see Tan Zhizhi than let Tan Zhizhi discover Liu Jiaoyue.

Especially seeing Liu Jiaoyue wearing a royal blue down jacket, Tan Zhizhi's outgoing and sweet personality would very likely lead her to say hello and ask curiously.

Liu Jiaoyue cannot lie; the outcome would inevitably be a "pot-wearing" disaster.

This kind of "pot-wearing" is not the "pot-wearing" discovered by Gao Meilan; this is "pot-wearing" in front of Tan Qingwu, an existence even more terrifying than an Asura purgatory.

Yang Tianxing doesn't even dare to imagine if, after that moment happens, he will be dragged off to the firing squad by Old Tan.

Therefore, at the very moment Tan Zhizhi looked up, Yang Tianxing called out.

"Little Zhizhi."

"Hmm?"

Tan Zhizhi turned her head, her bright eyes filled with questions.

After Yang Tianxing was silent for 0.001 seconds, he suddenly reached out his hand and gently wiped Tan Zhizhi's soft lips.

"You just ate a Sachima, there are still some crumbs on your mouth."

This was probably the first time Yang Tianxing had made such an intimate gesture in front of an elder, especially in front of her father; now not only was Tan Zhizhi shy, but even Tan Qingwu's attention was drawn over.

"Be a little more careful when you eat next time, okay?"

Yang Tianxing said gently.

Tan Zhizhi was suddenly moved to tears; how long had it been since she saw this side of Yang Tianxing? In any case, in Tan Zhizhi's memory, it had been a very, very long time.

"Thump-thump-thump, thump-thump-thump, thump-thump-thump..."

This was the sound of Yang Tianxing's heartbeat; who could imagine that beneath his calm face was a heart beating so fast it was almost spasming.

Tan Qingwu noticed something was a bit off.

"Tianxing, why is your hand shaking?"

"It's nothing."

Yang Tianxing glanced at Old Tan and said somewhat embarrassedly: "It's my first time wiping a girl's mouth, so I'm a bit nervous."

"Oh~"

Tan Qingwu understood, but he still found it strange; nervousness might exist, but given Yang Tianxing's thick skin and psychological fortitude, he shouldn't be nervous enough to shake.

Actually, how could Old Tan know that Yang Tianxing, while taking the opportunity to look at him, had also snuck a glance at Liu Jiaoyue.

Thank goodness, Liu Jiaoyue was slowly walking toward another stall.

That position was behind the bus stop sign; if Tan Qingwu didn't look carefully, he shouldn't be able to discover her.

"Are you done yet? My mouth is even hurting."

Tan Zhizhi asked.

Yang Tianxing had been wiping her mouth for nearly 20 seconds; never mind the Sachima crumbs, Little Zhizhi's mouth had even been rubbed red.

"All done, all done."

Yang Tianxing chuckled and pulled his hand back, but because Tan Qingwu and Tan Zhizhi had been interrupted like this, one forgot what they were going to say, and the other forgot what they were going to look up for.

However, the Asura field still existed at this moment, because Liu Jiaoyue had not yet returned to school; as long as vehicles passed the entrance, the two still had the possibility of meeting.

"Uncle Tan, should we change routes and go in through the East Gate?"

Yang Tianxing deliberated for a moment and said.

"Why?"

Tan Zhizhi was a bit strange: "That would be a detour, and cars can't drive into the school from the East Gate anyway."

Tan Qingwu was also waiting for a reason.

Yang Tianxing said steadily: "This road is truly too congested; who knows how long it will take to drive through. It's already past 3 PM, and if it gets too late, Uncle Tan will have to drive at night to return to Jinzhou, which isn't very safe."

Tan Zhizhi could still listen to the reason of "safety," and her expression became serious.

"Besides, although cars can't drive into the East Gate, it is still a bit closer to your dormitory, it just can't park downstairs."

Yang Tianxing pointed to his own chest: "With me here, I am solid, free labor."

Hearing this, Tan Zhizhi also felt it made a lot of sense, especially considering the safety issue of Old Tan driving at night, so she also said: "Dad, let's change routes. You can go straight home afterward, and Little Yang can send me up."

Seeing his daughter say so, Tan Qingwu turned the steering wheel and left this road, left this place that was truly an Asura field for Yang Tianxing.

Yang Tianxing pretended to point out the way and looked up again; he didn't know if it was a coincidence or a premonition, but Liu Jiaoyue actually looked over too.

Yang Tianxing's expression didn't change at all; he continued to point the way calmly.

The car windows had reflective film on them, so people outside couldn't see inside at all.

Changing routes was indeed much smoother; they arrived at the Jiaoda East Gate all the way. After Yang Tianxing got out of the car, he stood motionless, holding the suitcase.

"What's wrong with you?"

Tan Zhizhi asked with concern.

"It's nothing, I sat for too long, my legs are numb."

Yang Tianxing answered calmly; he didn't dare say his legs had gone soft, so he could only use leg numbness as an excuse.

This situation was also very common, so Tan Zhizhi didn't think much of it. Before Tan Qingwu left, he specifically exhorted Yang Tianxing: "Tianxing, thank you for your hard work. You are more mature than Little Zhizhi; when you encounter things, be more tolerant of Little Zhizhi."

This sentence had a profound meaning; Yang Tianxing nodded in agreement, and Tan Zhizhi looked at Yang Tianxing shyly, bright and moving.

Before long, Yang Tianxing's legs began to regain strength, and he started carrying the luggage into the school.

When Tan Qingwu was driving back, he glanced at the still-congested Jiaoda main entrance, and only then did he feel like there was something he had forgotten to say earlier.

"That girl was taller than Little Zhizhi, and as for her appearance, it seemed she was about as pretty too."

Yang Tianxing probably hadn't expected that Tan Qingwu, the deputy bureau chief in charge of criminal investigation, had actually managed to see Liu Jiaoyue's appearance clearly with just that one glance earlier.

"When you have time, ask Tianxing or little Zhiliao; a girl like that wouldn't be obscure at university."

……………

The east gate of Communications University is near the road and leads all the way to Donghu Town in Chang'an District; just as Yang Tianxing and Tan Zhizhi were about to walk into the school, a familiar fiery-red sports car slowly pulled over to the side of the road.

"Excuse me, I'd like to ask how to get to 157 Donghu Industrial Avenue?"

Hearing this familiar voice, Yang Tianxing turned around; Zhao Qingxun was already leaning her head out of the car window wearing large sunglasses to ask for directions, her Mandarin still as non-standard as ever, with the Cantonese accent in her speech still present.

"Donghu Town is right ahead, but I'm not sure about Industrial Avenue."

The enthusiastic Tan Zhizhi said.

Zhao Qingxun was also quite surprised to see Yang Tianxing, not knowing whether to sigh that the world was too small or that it was fate.

She glanced at the girl who had just been speaking enthusiastically beside Yang Tianxing, and the two of them tacitly chose not to greet each other.

Yang Tianxing took a piece of paper out of his bag and carefully and detailedly drew the route map to Runxing Electronics Factory.

Zhao Qingxun smiled: "Thank you, your girlfriend is the most beautiful girl I have ever seen."

After the sports car left, Yang Tianxing's gaze was still following it, and Tan Zhizhi's dissatisfied voice rang out from behind: "They've already left, do you want to take a bus and chase after them?"

Yang Tianxing shook his head: "What kind of groundless jealousy is this, they were just asking for directions."

"Hmph."

Tan Zhizhi gave a cold snort: "I've never seen you be so proactive before."

Yang Tianxing thought to himself, could he afford not to be proactive? This year, they were likely to start a courier business partnership with Runxing Electronics Factory, and this wasn't the first time he had met Zhao Qingxun, nor the first time he had given her directions; connecting this to what the deputy director of the logistics department at Runxing Electronics Factory had said before the new year about a big shot from Hong Kong taking charge of the work, it was nine times out of ten Zhao Qingxun.

"They already said it, you're the most beautiful girl they've ever seen, so you must be even prettier than they are."

Yang Tianxing had safely survived the Shura field today and had also confirmed that the "big shot" was Zhao Qingxun; in a great mood, he actually coaxed Tan Zhizhi all the way back to her dormitory.
