Chapter 68: The Small Movement Under the Dinner Table
Five sets of test papers, Xie Feiyu surprisingly finished in four hours, with an average time of less than one hour per subject. As soon as the test papers were handed in, they were immediately sent to each teaching and research group for review.
Xie Feiyu came out and saw Lan Xiang who had been waiting outside, accompanied by Gu Xiaoyue.
"How was it? Was it difficult?" Lan Xing rushed up to ask as soon as she saw Xie Feiyu come out. To be honest, Xie Feiyu's grades had suddenly skyrocketed, which was almost impossible according to the rules of teaching. So although she didn't dare admit that Xie Feiyu's grades were fake, Lan Xing's heart was still uneasy.
"It's okay." Xie Feiyu smiled slightly.
"Alright, let's go eat, I'm starving." Gu Xiaoyue, on the other hand, didn't have any psychological burden. Whether Xie Feiyu's results were good or bad, it wasn't important to her. What was important was that he was the man who could always create miracles for her.
"Let's go to the same place as last time, it's closer." Xie Feiyu patted the money in his pocket, going to Mingyue Building should still be enough. When taking girls out for a meal, he couldn't let them pay the bill, after all.
While eating and chatting in the Mingyue Building, Xie Feiyu finally heard from Gu Xiaoyue that Lan Xiang had made a big scene in the principal's office for his own sake. Thinking of Lan Xiang, a weak woman standing alone there fighting for her right to stay, being framed by those despicable people and suffering grievances during that time, how great must it be?
Thinking of this, Xie Feiyu couldn't help but want to pull Lan Xiang into his arms and comfort her properly. However, Gu Xiaoyue was sitting across from him, her eyes fixed on him the whole time. Unable to do anything else, Xie Feiyu reached under the table and grasped Lan Xiang's right hand, which she had placed on his thigh, and said with deep emotion: "Teacher Lan, thank you!"
Lan Xiang suddenly felt her small hand being grasped by a large one, and her expression froze for a moment. She stole a glance at Gu Xiao Yue beside her, seeing that she hadn't noticed anything, before secretly letting out a sigh of relief. "As long as you can get good grades, I'll be satisfied."
"I won't let you down, trust me, I'll definitely give those people a good slap. Xie Feiyu thought of the sinister Shi Qianfan and his son, and his heart was itching with hatred. Damn it, my Lanxin suffered such great grievances, if I don't avenge this, I, Xie Feiyu, am not a man."
"In fact, today, you really have to thank Xiao Yue. If it weren't for his father sponsoring the school's science building, I would have been in big trouble." Lan Xing's hand struggled slightly in Xie Fei Yu's palm, but couldn't break free, afraid that a big movement would arouse Gu Xiao Yue's suspicion, so she just let him hold her hand, and this feeling seemed quite nice.
"What am I thanking him for? He's the one who saved my life, so shouldn't I be offering myself to him in return?" Gu Xiao Yue said with a smile.
"Hmph, not now, it's really surprising you'd think of this. Lan Xiang smiled and glanced at Gu Xiao Yue and Xie Fei Yu, her face suddenly turned serious: 'Xie Fei Yu is my student, if you want to have a relationship with him, you need to get my permission first.'"
Upon hearing these words that seemed to be joking but actually contained a warning, Xie Feiyu's heart skipped a beat. His left hand pinched Lan Xing's soft and boneless small hand, then released it, his fingers crawling up Lan Xing's thigh.
Xie Feiyu's fingers brushed past, the tingling and numbness spread like an electric shock to Lan Xiang. "Pa", the phone in Lan Xiang's left hand somehow fell under the table.
"Ah," Gu Xiao Yue let out a startled cry, her eyes following suit and darting under the table. Scared, Xie Fei Yu quickly withdrew his hand, as it was improper for a teacher to be under the dinner table, this crime he could bear, but Lan Xiang wouldn't be able to.
Lan Xing rummaged around under the table and found her phone, then suddenly reached out and pinched Xie Fei Yu's thigh hard. I told you not to take advantage of me!
"Ah yo", Xie Feiyu did not expect to suffer this attack, not only did he cry out in surprise, but his originally crossed legs also involuntarily kicked out and happened to kick Gu Xiaoyue's calf.
"Ah yo, Xie Feiyu, what are you doing?" Gu Xiaoyue was in so much pain that tears were almost coming out, she pulled up her jeans and examined the injury on her leg.
Lan Xing didn't expect to implicate Gu Xiao Yue, and nervously looked at Xie Fei Yu, afraid that he would reveal her little action from just now.
"Oh dear, sorry about that, I think there might be a little bug biting my leg and it hurts so much." Xie Feiyu apologized while rubbing his leg.
Little bug? This guy actually dares to say he's a little bug? Lan Xiang angrily glared at Xie Fei Yu. "Right, right, right, I also felt like something was crawling on my leg just now, it seems there really are little bugs."
After the commotion, the three of them sat down again, continuing to eat and drink. Gu Xiao Yue downed a glass of beer in one gulp, and a charming flush appeared on her cheeks. She gazed at Xie Fei Yu with a slanted glance and asked: "Fei Yu, do you have a girlfriend?"
"Cough... cough..." Xie Feiyu was suddenly choked by the wine. "No, no. Our teacher doesn't allow us to fall in love early." Xie Feiyu quickly explained.
Upon hearing Xie Feiyu's response, Lan Xing suddenly kicked him with her foot and glared at him fiercely, leaving him bewildered. Had his answer been inappropriate?
"Teacher Nalan, I'm applying to be Xie Feiyu's girlfriend, do you approve or not?"
Upon hearing this sentence, Xie Feiyu knew why Lan Xiang would kick herself with her foot. It turned out that she had been guarding against Gu Xiaoyue's move all along!
Is it okay? Let me approve my boyfriend to have other girlfriends, is that okay? Lan Xing glared at Xie Feiyu again. "Xie Feiyu is still in school and is right in the middle of the college entrance exam, now is really not a suitable time to be in a relationship." Lan Xing said with a stiff face.
"Then I can wait for him for a few more months and chase after him. Teacher Lan, you have to keep an eye on him for me. What if he gets snatched away by someone else in these few months? I'll hold you responsible!" Gu Xiao Yue gazed at Lan Xiang with dreamy eyes.
Xie Feiyu listened with a pleased smile on one side, could it be that I've encountered a peach blossom luck? Is there really a girl chasing me? Feeling pleased and proud, his mouth couldn't help but say: "The person involved is still here, don't you ask if I agree or disagree?"
"So are you for or against it?" The two beautiful women almost asked in unison.
Looking at the two of them gazing at her with eager eyes, Xie Feiyu couldn't help but want to slap herself twice. Wasn't this just digging a hole for herself? Why did she ask this in the first place? If she agreed, Lan Xing would definitely not let her off; if she disagreed, Gu Xiaoyue was indeed quite lovely, and she really didn't want to reject her.
"Do you agree or not?" The two women shouted in unison again!
"I disagree, with the college entrance exam approaching, I have decided to prioritize my studies and put everything else aside. I will not disappoint my mom and Teacher Lan's expectations!" Xie Feiyu said loudly, especially the part about "not disappointing my mom and Teacher Lan's expectations." However, if someone were to peek under the table at this moment, they would see that one of his legs had already quietly extended to the other side, rubbing against Gu Xiaoyue's leg, signaling to her that these words were just for show to impress their teacher.
"How can I react so quickly? It's really shameful. Xie Feiyu hypocritically and perfunctorily self-criticized himself."
