Chapter 1886 You’re Being Overbearing

Classes had already begun. It was after 8:00 p.m., and there were students all over the compound. Although few people recognized Jiang Yao, the sight of a man and a woman holding hands as they approached the faculty dormitory building drew the attention of many students. Jiang Yao, who had keen eyes and ears, could readily hear other students speculating which batch of seniors she was or which department’s new instructor she was.

That was Lu Xingzhi’s first visit to Jiang Yao’s dormitory. Even though it was little, it was spotless, and the furniture was like new. After entering the door, Lu Xingzhi went to Jiang Yao’s room to change her bedding so she could lie down and rest. Then, he left the room to clean the dormitory, which had been vacant for a long time.

“I will pick you up from school every day from now on. I will make your meal ahead of time. You can return to the dormitory at noon and warm it up.” After cleaning up the room, Lu Xingzhi returned to Jiang Yao’s side. However, he was still concerned about allowing Jiang Yao to do it herself. “Forget about it. I will find you a servant to heat your lunch and look after you during the day.”

“Please don’t.”

Jiang Yao quivered and sat up straight in bed. “I’m pregnant and not paralyzed. Why would I need a servant?”

Jiang Yao shook her head. “I’m teaching here, and I’m also Professor Ouyang’s assistant. If I’m so delicate, how can I control the students? They disagree with my appointment anyway. If that’s the case, they’ll probably turn the sky upside down.”

“Then you may reheat it for lunch. You are not permitted to slack off, but you must use caution.” Lu Xing stepped back. When he noticed Jiang Yao ready to reply that she could have a casual lunch at school, he frowned and said, “That’s it.”

“No, you’re being overbearing!”

Just as Jiang Yao was about to resist, someone knocked on the door. Then, they heard Professor Ouyang’s voice.

“I’ll get the door.”

Lu Xingzhi invited Professor Ouyang into the room.

Professor Ouyang lived across from Jiang Yao. When he returned, he noticed the lights were turned on and assumed Jiang Yao had returned. As a result, he was there to welcome Jiang Yao. Professor Ouyang was unsurprised when Lu Xingzhi opened the door.

“Finally, you are back.” Professor Ouyang teased after entering the door. He asked casually. “How was your trip?”

Lu Xingzhi was a soldier, so he would not have had many opportunities to take Jiang Yao out on a trip. The classes had begun, so it was a busy time for them. If it were not because of that little fact, Professor Ouyang would never be willing to let Jiang Yao, his assistant, go on vacation.

“Not bad.”

Jiang Yao smiled happily.

“I can tell. Your complexion is rosy and lustrous, and you’ve put on weight.” Professor Ouyang spoke straightforwardly. He did not care that women did not like to be called fat. Anyway, if he felt that Jiang Yao had put on weight, he would speak straightforwardly.

Jiang Yao remembered that she had to tell Professor Ouyang about taking a leave of absence next year.

Professor Ouyang was still smiling as he listened to Jiang Yao’s story. Then the expression on his face became a little more interesting.

Perhaps, one could say he looked resentful to see his student failing to live up to his expectations.

He said, “Was I wrong to give you leave to go on this trip? I thought it was rare for you guys to go on a trip, and I was considerate enough to let you guys have fun. In the end, you guys are telling me that you’re having a baby? Are you guys happy now?”
