Chapter 1500: He is jealous

~7 min read 1,390 words

Xu Xiaoxiao responded with a smile: "Well, there is no limit to learning."

"As expected of someone who is a teacher, your awareness is high."

Xu Xiaoxiao felt a bit embarrassed by this and replied: "Actually, I have encountered a difficult problem recently and wanted to see if I could find the answer in books."

"What kind of problem? You might as well talk about it and see if I can offer some perspective to give you a flash of inspiration."

Xu Xiaoxiao did not think Jiang Chenghao could offer any suggestions.

But she wanted to talk to him about the problem that was troubling her: "I have a case on hand where the patient suffers from insomnia, anxiety, and drastic mood swings whenever they organize books."

"This... is indeed quite bizarre."

Xu Xiaoxiao nodded along and added: "I haven't encountered a similar case before either, so I can only look up some information."

"But doing it this way is no different from looking for a needle in a haystack. I think it is more reliable to talk to the person involved, as the one who tied the bell must be the one to untie it."

"No, that person is particularly unreliable; I'm afraid talking won't lead to anything."

"As long as they aren't a mute, there is nothing that can't be talked out. The key lies in communication skills."

Communication skills?

Xu Xiaoxiao felt these four words were very familiar.

Immediately, she thought of the promotional slogan on the poster.

This stirred Xu Xiaoxiao's interest, and she turned her head to ask: "What kind of skills do you have?"

"Praise before criticizing, and guide the other party to say what you want to know themselves."

Guide...

Xu Xiaoxiao rested her chin on her fingers and fell into deep thought.

Seeing this, Jiang Chenghao said: "It seems you should listen carefully to the lecture this afternoon and look for inspiration."

That's a good idea!

Xu Xiaoxiao nodded, then smiled and tilted her head up: "As a reward, after the lecture ends, I will treat you to a meal at the cafeteria. Our school's cafeteria is truly top-notch!"

"Deal!"

The two looked at each other and smiled; this scene was truly as beautiful as a painting.

Xu Xiaoxiao did not break her promise and really cleared her schedule in the afternoon to attend the lecture.

It was just that throughout the entire lecture, Xu Xiaoxiao listened absent-mindedly, her eyes fixed unblinkingly on Jiang Chenghao.

At this moment, Xu Xiaoxiao was exceptionally gentle.

And she herself did not notice this change.

But someone saw it clearly.

Shortly before getting off work, a colleague of Xu Xiaoxiao returned to the office in a rush.

Then, they said in a loud voice: "Super big gossip!"

These words were truly soul-shaking.

Not only did it attract everyone's attention, but someone also eagerly followed up: "What gossip?"

"I was watching the lecture in the auditorium just now. Guess who I saw?"

"That goes without saying, it must be Jiang Chenghao."

The person who broke the news rolled their eyes helplessly.

Then they said: "No, it's little Xu! When little Xu was staring at Jiang Chenghao, the expression on her face was so gentle. I even took a photo!"

As they spoke, they took out their phone to show everyone.

After seeing it, everyone immediately revealed ambiguous looks.

Someone even drew a conclusion: "This is clearly a situation!"

"That's for sure. Have you forgotten that when that Mr. Jiang came last time, little Xu was very different toward him?"

"Hey, don't say, these two are actually quite a good match together."

Everyone offered their comments one after another.

But amidst all the voices, a very discordant remark suddenly popped up: "What's the use of being a good match? There has to be mutual affection."

However, amidst the chorus of voices, a very discordant comment suddenly emerged: "What use is being a good match if there is no mutual affection?"

It also made everyone immediately look at the person who spoke.

Wang Sinian had been lying there sleeping, but at this moment, he wasn't sleeping anymore; he just rested his chin on one hand, looking lazy.

The older woman wearing glasses asked tentatively: "Listening to you, do you know some inside information?"

"I don't know, and I don't care."

After saying this, Wang Sinian stood up and left.

The older woman stared at his back and murmured to the person beside her: "Is Xiao Wang... jealous?"

Meanwhile, the eldest sister stared at his back and murmured to the person beside her, "Is Xiao Wang... jealous?"

That shouldn't be it.

Xu Xiaoxiao had tormented Wang Sinian so much before; if they could still develop feelings after that...

Then Wang Sinian must have a masochistic tendency!

But Wang Sinian's personality doesn't seem like he has masochistic tendencies.

But to say he is jealous...

That doesn't seem like it either.

Sigh, the affairs of young people are truly unfathomable!

However, it is precisely because they are unfathomable that the people in the office have reason to engage in a heated discussion.

However, it was precisely because it was so unfathomable that the people in the office had a reason to engage in a heated discussion.

And these discussions had nothing to do with Xu Xiaoxiao.

At this moment, she was sitting in the school cafeteria eating with Jiang Chenghao, who had just finished his lecture.

To have a bit more peace and quiet, Xu Xiaoxiao took Jiang Chenghao to the faculty cafeteria on the second floor.

There were far fewer people here, and occasionally, teachers who knew Xu Xiaoxiao would greet her.

Watching her greet people so warmly, Jiang Chenghao curved his lips and said, "You get along quite well with everyone."

"It's alright," Xu Xiaoxiao said, picking up a piece of spicy chicken for Jiang Chenghao and recommending it, "You should try this; it's very delicious. I only managed to get some because I came early today."

Jiang Chenghao tasted it, and it was indeed good.

It was just that...

He said to Xu Xiaoxiao with some concern, "You've been busy with me for a long time; will it delay your work?"

"It won't, I finished it ahead of time. Hurry up and eat, oh, this tomato-sauce fish is also

very good."

Fearing that Jiang Chenghao would be too polite, Xu Xiaoxiao took the initiative to help him pick up food.

Unable to refuse such kindness, Jiang Chenghao began to eat.

And once he started eating...

The taste was truly good.

Although these dishes did not have very complex preparation techniques, nor did they have very fancy ingredients, they contained a familiar taste.

Jiang Chenghao couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "I suddenly feel like I've returned to my student days."

Xu Xiaoxiao said while eating, "Working at a school is just like this; every day is full of vitality."

"You yourself are also full of vitality; seeing you, I unconsciously become more relaxed."

Receiving such a compliment, Xu Xiaoxiao pursed her lips and smiled.

But just as she was about to respond to Jiang Chenghao, she noticed someone sitting down beside them.

And this uninvited guest was none other than Wang Sinian!

This guy really is like a persistent ghost!!

Xu Xiaoxiao narrowed her eyes and said, "You..."

"What, can't I come to the cafeteria to eat?"

Wang Sinian didn't even wait for Xu Xiaoxiao to finish speaking before asking a question in return.

Xu Xiaoxiao raised an eyebrow and replied, "Of course you can, but can't you go somewhere else?"

"No."

Wang Sinian had already gotten his food and picked up his chopsticks to start eating.

Xu Xiaoxiao looked around; there were plenty of empty seats nearby.

Yet he ran over here to sit...

He was clearly looking to cause trouble!

In an instant, Xu Xiaoxiao lost all appetite.

She just wanted to take Jiang Chenghao and leave!

But Jiang Chenghao hadn't finished eating yet, and he didn't feel there was anything wrong with Wang Sinian sitting down, so he greeted him and continued eating.

Helpless, Xu Xiaoxiao had no choice but to stay put for the time being.

The three of them ate their meals in silence.

The scene was indescribably strange.

But

occasionally, students would pass by this area and be instantly shocked by this sight!
