Chapter 582: Enthusiasm
Chapter 582: Enthusiasm
Jiang Xia rode her bicycle through the century-old prestigious campus.
The library was packed with people, all heads bent over their books, engrossed in reading.
Around the campus, students could be seen everywhere, books in hand, studying diligently.
They were like seeds sprouting in barren soil, eagerly absorbing the nutrients of knowledge, striving to grow into towering trees.
In the future, they would all step out of the campus and become the trendsetters of their era.
Jiang Xia rode her bicycle back to the dormitory, needing to drop off a few books. She didn’t need to carry all of them home; she would just take two to read for now.
When she returned to the dorm, the door was open.
Jiang Xia walked in, and by the window, a few people were sitting at the desks.
As Jiang Xia entered, all five of them looked over.
Jiang Xia also saw two of her classmates, one was Liu Weizhen, and the other was Ouyang Minhua.
Gu Yue, seeing Jiang Xia, greeted her happily, "Xia, you’re back!"
Her mother had told her yesterday that she had seen Jiang Xia and her partner visiting Grandpa Zhang with their children.
The two of them were very close to the Zhang family, and they had even stayed for lunch before leaving.
Many people wanted to visit Grandpa Zhang, but very few were allowed in, and even fewer were invited to stay for a meal!
Not to mention, they had brought their entire family along.
She had liked Zhang Rui for many years. This year, she heard from her grandmother that Grandma Zhang was planning to find a match for Zhang Rui.
She seized the opportunity to hint to her mother about her feelings, asking her grandmother to help set them up.
However, Zhang Rui rarely returned to the compound.
After receiving her mother’s call yesterday, she rushed to her grandmother’s house, but it was too late; Zhang Rui and Jiang Xia had already left by the time she arrived.
But there was no rush. If Zhang Rui and Jiang Xia’s partner were good friends, and she and Jiang Xia were roommates, she would have plenty of opportunities to see Zhang Rui in the future.
She enthusiastically introduced the others in the dorm to Jiang Xia, "Xia, this is Xie Ying from our class, and this is Zhao Min. You already know the two from your class, right? The other two roommates are also from your class, Zeng Jing and Song Huiru."
Jiang Xia nodded, "Hello, I’m Jiang Xia."
Xie Ying smiled, "Hello, Yue mentioned that you’re very beautiful. You’re truly a great beauty."
Zhao Min added, "You’re like a celestial being descended from heaven! Now, I’m the ugliest in the dorm!"
Ouyang Minhua chimed in, "Xia, when you entered the classroom this morning, everyone fell silent! I thought, ‘Who is this celestial being that has descended?’ You’re not ugly; I’m the heaviest, so I’m the ugliest."
Liu Weizhen just smiled but didn’t say anything.
Jiang Xia smiled, "Not a celestial being, but a reincarnated flower fairy. Women are like flowers, each with our own beauty and charm."
Everyone laughed.
"Haha, Xia is right! We’re all flowers. I’m a morning glory, and Xia is a peony, the most fragrant and beautiful of all!"
Gu Yue glanced at Jiang Xia, admiring her eloquence!
Jiang Xia put her books on the bed.
Her attention was immediately drawn to the watch on Jiang Xia’s wrist.
She had changed her watch again?!!!
And it was another imported one, a Plum Blossom watch, a model she had been fond of before.
Sigh, how envious! She wished she could wear a different watch every day to match her outfits.
That way, she could dress as simply as Jiang Xia.
Gu Yue didn’t know that Jiang Xia’s current simplicity was for the convenience of breastfeeding.
Her clothes were actually not ordinary at all.
Today, Jiang Xia was wearing a sailor-style shirt, which Gu Yue had never liked before, but on Jiang Xia, it looked very good, giving off an indescribable aura.
Gu Yue decided to buy one for herself.
After putting away her books, Jiang Xia took only two textbooks and said, "I have something to do, so I’m heading home."
Gu Yue quickly replied, "I’m also going back. My father’s driver should be here to pick me up. I’ll go with you."
So, the two of them walked out together.
Gu Yue asked, "Xia, my mom said she saw you visit Grandpa Zhang and Grandma Zhang yesterday. Are you close with them?"
Jiang Xia replied, "It was my first time going."
Meaning, they weren’t that familiar.
Gu Yue glanced at her.
Then what?
Then there was no further explanation.
Does she even know how to chat?
She had just complimented everyone in the dorm with a single sentence, making Gu Yue think she was quite articulate.
Undeterred, Gu Yue tried again, "My grandma also lives in that compound, right across from Grandpa Zhang's place. I used to go to Grandma Zhang's house to play with Big Brother Zhang and the others when I was little."
Jiang Xia didn’t respond.
Gu Yue continued, "But after I started high school, I haven’t visited Grandma Zhang in a long time. Next time you visit Grandpa Zhang and Grandma Zhang, remember to call me, and we can go together."
Jiang Xia said, "You can visit your grandma and stop by their place. I’ve already been there, so I might not go again."
Gu Yue nodded, "Sure, next time I visit my grandma, I’ll definitely stop by to see Grandma Zhang. But if you go, let me know, and we can go together. You know, people our age sometimes don’t know what to say to the elderly. It would be better if we go together, we’ll have more to talk about."
Jiang Xia didn’t respond. Just then, they reached the first floor, and Gu Yue’s father was waiting downstairs, calling out, "Yue."
Gu Yue said happily, "Dad, what are you doing here?"
"I was passing by and thought I’d pick you up."
He looked at Jiang Xia, "Xia, where do you live? Uncle Gu can give you a ride home if you need one."
Jiang Xia put her books in the bicycle basket, "Thank you, but I’ll just ride my bicycle."
She unlocked her bicycle and said to the two of them, "I’ll be going now, see you later."
Then she rode off.
Gu Heng watched her silhouette grow smaller in the distance.
Gu Yue looped her arm through her father’s, "Dad, did you see?"
Gu Heng came back to his senses, "See what?"
"Jiang Xia’s watch!"
Gu Heng: "…"
She changed her watch again today, and it's the Plum Brand one I wanted to buy last year.
Gu Heng’s head throbbed, "Why do you always focus on things like makeup and clothes? Can’t you spend more time on your studies?"
Since childhood, Gu Yue could always spot who had new clothes or accessories.
But she never paid attention to anything important.
Gu Yue said, "I do study! It’s just not class time yet. Besides, what’s wrong with having hobbies? Jiang Xia loves watches too, she changes them every day."
Gu Heng glanced at the distant figure, "Let’s go! The car is parked outside, it can’t come in here."
The father and daughter walked out together.
When Jiang Xia rode her bicycle to the second school gate, she saw Zhao Cheng Lei and two older men talking there.
One of the older men was Elder He, and the other she didn’t recognize.
Zhao Cheng Lei spotted Jiang Xia riding her bicycle from a distance, "Class is over."
Elder He and the other man turned around.
Elder He smiled and waved at Jiang Xia, "Xia, come over here."
Jiang Xia stopped a few meters away and pushed her bicycle over to Elder He.
She greeted them with a smile, "Elder He, sir."
Since she didn’t recognize the other man, she decided to be polite and call him "sir."
Zhao Cheng Lei took Jiang Xia’s bicycle from her.
Elder He said, "This is Principal Zhou from your school."
Jiang Xia greeted him respectfully, "Principal Zhou, hello."
Principal Zhou smiled and nodded.
Elder He continued, "Your school plans to hire a foreign language professor, and I recommended you to Principal Zhou."
Jiang Xia: "…"
Principal Zhou: "…"
What kind of joke is this?!!! (End of Chapter)
