Chapter 1534: Contradictory Words

Wang Sinian did not make a move, nor did he speak; he just glared fiercely at Xu Xiaoxiao before walking away aggressively.

This left Zhou Zhou stunned!

Is this... still the Wang Sinian he knows?

His eyes darted around, and Zhou Zhou looked at Xu Xiaoxiao, having thought of something.

The next instant, he exclaimed in realization: "As expected of a beautiful sister, even a playboy like Wang Sinian can be kept perfectly in line by you!"

Realizing the other party had misunderstood, Xu Xiaoxiao explained: "The one who keeps him in line is not me."

"But you are the first person who could provoke him and still walk away unscathed!"

So what if she provoked him? She could walk away unscathed every single time.

Xu Xiaoxiao did not think this was anything special.

However, she had not expected that Zhou Zhou actually knew Wang Sinian, and seemed quite familiar with him at that.

Pursing her lips, Xu Xiaoxiao inquired: "How do you two know each other?"

"We met at a bar."

"Oh, so you're drinking buddies..."

Xu Xiaoxiao almost blurted out the blunt truth, but fortunately, she changed her wording in time to avoid making everyone feel awkward.

But fearing that Xu Xiaoxiao would misunderstand, Zhou Zhou hurriedly emphasized: "Although I know Wang Sinian, I don't play as wildly as he does. I go to bars just to drink, nothing more!"

After hearing this, Qing Ze gave a light huff: "Do you believe that yourself after saying it?"

"Why wouldn't I? As long as Wang Sinian is around, the girls don't even look at anyone else, so don't they just have to drink obediently?"

When Zhou Zhou said this, he was somewhat depressed.

And a little jealous, too.

Qing Ze seemed quite surprised and asked: "Is he that charming?"

"Extremely! There are even girls who fight over him out of jealousy! But Wang Sinian treats them all the same."

Treats girls all the same?

Isn't that just being a flirt!

Xu Xiaoxiao's disdain for Wang Sinian grew a little more.

But Zhou Zhou's next words brought about a major reversal:

"Wang Sinian seems to accept anyone who comes his way, and he gets close and hugs every girl who hits on him, but he never crosses the line."

Hearing this, Xu Xiaoxiao chuckled lightly.

With those photos that were all over the place, that level of physical contact, and he doesn't cross the line?

Is he trying to fool a child!

In any case, Xu Xiaoxiao did not believe it.

Zhou Zhou also saw Xu Xiaoxiao's disbelief and explained further: "Every time an event ends, Wang Sinian goes home by himself; he never takes a girl home for the night."

Qing Ze spotted a loophole and asked: "How are you so sure whether he took someone or not?"

"Because after I got close to a girl at the bar, she told me. She even said that no one in their circle has ever successfully been taken away by Wang Sinian! They even say... Wang Sinian might be gay!"

Gay?

Qing Ze, being a straight man, opened his mouth to ask what was gay.

But after considering it for a moment...

He understood!

And his face was full of embarrassment!

Xu Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment, then pursed her lips tightly and offered another possibility: "It's also possible that he's impotent."

Good heavens, this one is even more direct!

Qing Ze asked with a hint of discomfort: "Couldn't it be that he keeps himself pure?"

Zhou Zhou felt that Qing Ze was just too young, and blurted out: "If he really kept himself pure, why would he go to a place like that!"

Uh...

After saying this, Zhou Zhou realized... why did he just insult himself?

To make up for it, Zhou Zhou hurriedly changed his tune: "What I mean is... we have our bottom lines when we go out to play!"

Qing Ze then reminded him: "But you just said Wang Sinian plays wildly."

"That's right, it's just playing games; some of them I've never even heard of."

Zhou Zhou looked sincere, hoping Xu Xiaoxiao would believe his words.

But Xu Xiaoxiao no longer wanted to discuss this topic.

She looked at the two young men and brought up something else: "Thank you for today's matter. I won't use that equipment for free; just tell me how much I need to pay."

Zhou Zhou hurriedly waved his hands: "This was just a little toy I made on a whim. It's fate that you can use it, sister; why talk about money! If you insist, I'll be heartbroken."

As he spoke, Zhou Zhou even clutched his chest, just like Lin Daiyu.

Qing Ze really couldn't stand this eyesore of an expression!

He also didn't want Xu Xiaoxiao to continue suffering the torment, so he clamped his elbow around Zhou Zhou's neck.

Then he said to Xu Xiaoxiao: "You go ahead and get busy; I'm taking this guy away!"

After saying this, Qing Ze dragged Zhou Zhou away like pulling up a radish.

But Zhou Zhou didn't want to leave yet, struggling: "Let go, I still want to talk to the beautiful sister!"

Qing Ze didn't let go at all; on the contrary, he picked up his pace, and before long, they disappeared from Xu Xiaoxiao's sight.

Xu Xiaoxiao shook her head with a smile, then turned back and locked the door.

On the way back to her office, Xu Xiaoxiao ran into an old professor.

Xu Xiaoxiao greeted the other party with a smile and prepared to leave.

However, the professor called out to Xu Xiaoxiao, handed over a potted flower, and said, "This is a flower I grew; take it back and put it in your office."

What the professor handed over was a pot of wax begonia, and the flowers were currently in full, vibrant bloom, making anyone who saw them fond of them.

Holding the flowerpot, Xu Xiaoxiao felt slightly surprised and said, "You treasure your flowers the most; how can you bear to give one away?"

"As for me, I am completely retiring this time, and I won't be coming in tomorrow. These flowers have been kept at the school, and I'm worried they won't survive if I move them back, so I'm sharing them among you all."

This old professor had wanted to step down before, but due to various reasons, had not succeeded.

Now that the wish had finally been granted, a relaxed smile hung on the professor's face while speaking.

It was just that...

It was evident that the old professor was quite reluctant to part with these flowers.

Xu Xiaoxiao smiled and promised, "I will definitely take good care of it."

"Mm, if there is anything you don't know, you can also come and ask me; from now on, I will have the most time."

As the old professor spoke, the professor sighed with emotion, "Before, because of work, I neglected a lot; this time, now that I have time, I plan to go traveling and take care of my health."

After finishing, the professor exhorted Xu Xiaoxiao, "You are still young, so don't ruin your health for the sake of work; it wouldn't be worth the loss."

"Mm, I will."

"Then, we shall meet again if there is a chance!"

The old professor waved a hand nonchalantly and walked away from Xu Xiaoxiao's side.

Xu Xiaoxiao nudged the flowerpot in her arms upward, feeling envious of the old professor who could retire.

That was what it meant to have both money and leisure.

As for this pot of flowers...

Being so delicate, it must need careful tending.

Xu Xiaoxiao was not good at taking care of plants, but Jiang Chenghao was!

In a little while, Xu Xiaoxiao would send Jiang Chenghao a message to consult him.

Xu Xiaoxiao held the flowers, looking at them as she walked.

In her mind, she was wondering if Jiang Chenghao was busy at this moment and when it would be appropriate to send him a message.

Because she was thinking so intently, Xu Xiaoxiao accidentally bumped into someone walking toward her.

At the moment of the collision, Xu Xiaoxiao hurriedly said, "Sorry, sorry, I..."

Jiang Baobao looked at the man in front of her, her eyes filled with complex emotions.
