The Bumpy Road of Marriage: Divorce Now, Daddy
chapter-1220

They drove to the university. Since the new semester was about to start, there were many students at the campus.

Bai Xiaolian was still in detention. It was normal for the college students to follow current gossip trends when a provoker started a malicious topic, but once the provoker was caught, the gossip followers would disperse into thin air. A typical college student’s immature mentality.

When Gu Juexi and Ye Yuwei appeared at the campus, they attracted a lot of curious glances from bystanders but no one dared to approach them.

Ye Yuwei took Gu Juexi to many places on the campus. Their sports field, their cafeteria, their grove, even the lecture halls.

Students who had signed up for the postgraduate exams occupied the study rooms in the academic building. The rest of the students who had returned to the campus were either unpacking their luggage or out shopping with their friends.

Ye Yuwei pulled Gu Juexi into a lecture hall that had a few students studying in it. Ye Yuwei quietly guided Gu Juexi to sit in the last row of the hall. A message was written on the blackboard which said that the hall would be occupied at 7.30 p.m. tonight to take attendance. Taking attendance was the first thing they did when a new semester started.

Gu Juexi never spent a day in college. He returned to China at the age of fifteen and joined the military a year later. Despite the stack of certificates with his name on them, he never attended school or sat in a regular lecture hall like this.

Ye Yuwei cupped her chin with one hand, looked at the man sitting next to her and whispered, “Hi, my name is Ye Yuwei. I’m a student in class xx of the School of Economics. Let’s be friends.”

Gu Juexi tilted his head at her, his gaze unflinching. “No.”

Ye Yuwei frowned. Did he just reject her so directly?

Ye Yuwei turned away angrily and laid her head on the table. The man was hopelessly unromantic.

Gu Juexi looked at the woman lying on the table while looking out of the window.

“In any case, I should be your lecturer instead, Miss Ye,” Gu Juexi murmured. His voice was soft so as to not disturb the students but loud enough for Ye Yuwei to hear him.

It made sense though since Gu Juexi was eight years older than Ye Yuwei.

Her head still on the table, Ye Yuwei slowly turned around and looked at the man who was tapping his fingers on the table. “Will you teach economics?”

“I see that there are national defense¹ students in your school.” He had spotted a flag-raising platform when they were walking around the campus. It was where the national defense students performed their daily flag-raising ceremony.

“Yes, we do.” Ye Yuwei nodded in confusion, but then a thought struck her.

He had never really put that place behind him! Hmph!

Ye Yuwei turned her head away again, sulking.

Gu Juexi curled his hand into a fist and rested his head on it. He reached over and stroked the sulking Ye Yuwei’s head as he said, “I heard from your Professor Zhou that you wrote my name in your economics textbooks.”

Ye Yuwei was so surprised, her eyes almost popped out of their sockets. She turned around abruptly and stared at Gu Juexi. Why did Professor Zhou tell him that?

It was so embarrassing!

Ye Yuwei’s embarrassed expression reminded him very much of their daughter. Gu Juexi figured that this was one of the reasons why he spoiled Xixi rotten. Perhaps Ye Yuwei had made the same expression when she was little.

The private meeting with Professor Zhou the other day had been approved by Professor Zhou’s wife for the sole purpose of him telling Gu Juexi not to hurt Ye Yuwei again.

Gu Juexi was very respectful of Professor Zhou and his wife because of their generous benevolence towards Ye Yuwei.

“So where are your books?” Gu Juexi asked with an amused smile as he stared into the eyes of the woman in front of him.
