Chapter 1497: What Is He Running From?

Wang Sinian felt a bit dejected, then explained concisely: "I haven't been sleeping well these past two days; as soon as I close my eyes, I feel like piles and piles of books are pressing down on me like mountains."

Oh my, this sounds like Old Wang's scheme is taking effect!

Xu Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes and said, "How is this a nightmare? Being able to keep company with a sea of books, how blissful that is."

"Blissful? No, you don't understand that sense of oppression at all; it's like being caught in a giant wave in the deep sea..."

Wang Sinian did not say much more.

But from his expression, one could tell that he truly felt very stifled.

And Wang Sinian's behavior left Xu Xiaoxiao stunned; she kept feeling like something was not quite right.

Just as Xu Xiaoxiao was silent, Wang Sinian composed his emotions and urged, "Let's go, let's go to class."

Xu Xiaoxiao walked into the classroom silently with Wang Sinian.

After class started, that guy really did lie down in the back to sleep.

And Xu Xiaoxiao, for the first time ever, did not disturb him.

The students in the classroom, however, were very enthusiastic.

Someone even gathered the courage to ask Xu Xiaoxiao: "Teacher, you lecture so well, is it because you have a lot of experience in love?"

As soon as this person's voice fell, sounds of jeering erupted immediately.

Xu Xiaoxiao signaled for everyone to be quiet, then said: "Research and personal experience are two different things. The reason for setting up this course is also in the hope that when you encounter love, you can love others well, and even more so, love yourselves well."

These words from Xu Xiaoxiao did not satisfy the person who asked the question.

He asked again: "Then do you have someone you like?"

"Of course I do."

"To be liked by Teacher, that person must be really happy."

Xu Xiaoxiao smiled and replied: "Happiness does not need to be defined by others; you have to grasp it yourself."

"

"But... liking someone doesn't necessarily mean you'll get a response; what should one do in this situation?"

"There's nothing to 'do'; we cannot grasp love, but we can ensure we don't have regrets."

Xu Xiaoxiao's answer was very cool.

The students all wished they could take out little notebooks to write it down.

But everyone had strayed a bit from the topic.

So Xu Xiaoxiao did not interact with the students further, but instead, in a few words, steered the topic back to the lesson.

Because Xu Xiaoxiao lectured in an interesting way, the students hadn't even come to their senses before the long class ended.

The students were left wanting more, while Wang Sinian had slept to his heart's content.

He yawned, picked up the teaching materials, and then followed Xu Xiaoxiao out of the classroom.

Walking on the tree-lined path, Wang Sinian suddenly asked a question: "What must one do to be considered as not having regrets?"

"What 'not having regrets'?"

"Just what you said in class answering the student."

Xu Xiaoxiao recalled for a moment before she understood what Wang Sinian was talking about.

However, Xu Xiaoxiao felt it was strange; she asked: "Weren't you asleep at the time?"

"I was woken up," Wang Sinian jostled the things in his arms upward and urged, "Answer my question first."

This... there isn't really anything to answer, is there.

Xu Xiaoxiao tilted her head and summarized: "It means, strive when you should strive, let go when you should let go, and turn the page when you should turn the page."

"Are you talking about your own emotional journey?"

As soon as Xu Xiaoxiao heard this, she knew what kind of scheme Wang Sinian was plotting in his heart.

Xu Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes and huffed: "Don't always think about prying into other people's privacy!"

"I just want to understand you."

"Haven't you understood enough? In the spirit of reciprocity, it should be my turn to

understand you, right?"

Xu Xiaoxiao suddenly turned from passive to active, which caught Wang Sinian off guard.

A look of suspicion appeared in his eyes, and he even asked: "Don't you hate me very much, having tried all sorts of ways to drive me away?"

"That's right, it's precisely because I want to drive you away that I should understand you even more."

This woman...

She really is too lazy to even make up an excuse!

Wang Sinian shook his head and then said: "Sorry, I won't let you understand me."

Saying this, Wang Sinian quickened his pace.

And Xu Xiaoxiao immediately followed, further pressing: "Don't be so stingy; let's just say, how is it that you feel stifled?"

Wang Sinian didn't answer a single word; he even utilized the advantage of his long legs, wanting to widen the distance between him and Xu Xiaoxiao.

But Xu Xiaoxiao's legs were also quite long, so the distance between her and Wang Sinian remained neither far nor near.

But Xu Xiaoxiao had no patience.

Seeing that Wang Sinian kept silent, she reached out to grab Wang Sinian's sleeve and simultaneously scolded: "What are you running from?"

Rip—

At the same time Xu Xiaoxiao questioned him, Wang Sinian's sleeve...

Was torn open!

For a moment, both of them were stunned.

The atmosphere was still a bit awkward.

Wang Sinian was the first to snap back to his senses.

He stared at Xu Xiaoxiao with a mocking smile and said, "So desperate? Then I'll satisfy you."

As he spoke, he reached out, intending to press down on Xu Xiaoxiao's head.

This startled Xu Xiaoxiao, and she instinctively raised her hand and punched Wang Sinian in the stomach!

She did not hold back with that blow, and it hurt Wang Sinian so much that his face twisted!

Xu Xiaoxiao took the opportunity to put some distance between herself and Wang Sinian, warning, "You can't blame me for this; who told you to try and act like a hooligan!"

Wang Sinian clutched his stomach and retorted sharply to Xu Xiaoxiao, "Even if I were

going to act like a hooligan, I would at least look at the other person's qualifications. You? At best, you're just someone to tease."

"Then you'd better have the life to do the teasing! If you do this again, I'll knock your teeth out!"

Xu Xiaoxiao waved her fist at Wang Sinian, then turned and walked away.

And her pace grew faster and faster.

After turning a corner, Xu Xiaoxiao immediately leaned against the wall and took a long breath.

She never imagined that she could actually do something so abrupt!

Fortunately, there weren't many people in that area just now, so not many people should have seen that awkward scene.

It's just that...

Xu Xiaoxiao hadn't been able to ask for the answer she wanted.

That Wang Sinian, who looked like he had no taboos, actually refused to answer Xu Xiaoxiao's question directly; this...

Isn't that just having a guilty conscience?

And the more this guy refused to talk, the more Xu Xiaoxiao wanted to find the answer!

Rolling her eyes, Xu Xiaoxiao decided to go to the library to look up some information.

Unfortunately, after flipping through books for quite a while, she still couldn't find the content Xu Xiaoxiao wanted.

Instead, it just made Xu Xiaoxiao feel dizzy and lightheaded.

Xu Xiaoxiao raised her hand to rub her temples.

It was also at this moment that the phone she had placed on the table began to vibrate.

The call was from Jiang Baobao, and as soon as the call connected, Jiang Baobao asked, "Xiao Xiao, are you busy right now?"

"Not busy, I'm reading."

"Then could I trouble you to come to my house and take a look at Beijue?"

Jiang Baobao's tone was a bit anxious.

Xu Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment, then asked, "What happened to him?"

"You know that Beauty Device you gave me? I used it for the first time today, and Beijue was curious and insisted on trying it, and as a result... his face is so red now!"

"I understand, I'll come find you right now."

Xu Xiaoxiao hung up the phone and hurried out of the library.

When

she arrived at the Li Family, the moment she entered the door, she saw a red-faced Guan Gong sitting on the sofa.
