Transmigration: Raising the Child of the Male Lead Boss (WN)
chapter-ex5-2

Gong Xuechang smiled and closed WeChat. He stopped disturbing the other party, and he devoted himself to his translation work and lesson preparations. Soon, the two were friends on Wechat for nearly half a year. While he invited her every other month, the other party would always be busy.

In the end, when even Professor Zheng, who wished to be a matchmaker, wanted to give up, news came suddenly from ‘Fang Xiaogong’.

[Teacher, let’s go out on a date!]

When Gong Xuechang received the text, he thought he had read it wrong.

[Teacher, I’m not playing. I just… want to learn English well!]

He looked at the message with a stunned expression. He never thought that his blind date who stayed up late every night and went missing in action every month would ask him out with such an opening statement.

Gong Xuechang’s mouth twitched, and he replied, “Okay.”

After asking the other party’s food preferences and address, he chose a Sichuan restaurant nearby. But on the day of the meeting, he couldn’t help but be shocked. Unlike the fresh and delicate young woman in the avatar, the person who came had an unsightly, sloppy appearance.

“I’m sorry, I’ve been too busy recently,” she began. “I was also in a hurry to come out so… I didn’t wash my hair.”

Fang Qiuye blushed a little, and she immediately straightened her cap, pressing down every strand of her hair in an effort to hide it. Pushing on some black-framed glasses, she quickly rolled the cuff of the sportswear up. There was takeout sauce on the clothing…

Gong Xuechang was amazed.

He had been in college for a long time, and he knew that girls dressed well when they went out. However, it was a different story when they were in their dorm. But he didn’t expect that there were some girls who would be so uncaring of their appearance even when they went out.

“It’s okay, I understand,” he said. He thought about their messages in the past, and he fully believed that she was really busy. “Are you hungry? What do you want to eat?” He handed over the menu after asking.

Fang Qiuye was living a crazy, hectic life three months in a row, managing two of the new and old books. She did not have the luxury to take a break in between. The effect of staying up late made her have dark circles under her eyes. Not only typing, but she also needed to think about the plot. To come up with a wonderful plot that would be appreciated by the readers, her brain cells would be consumed for an hour just to come up with a thousand words!

But even so, she still had to find time to fulfill her idol’s wish – to learn English! It was impossible to be free for a date for personal reasons; if not for her idol’s special needs, she would quickly end her lunch by nibbling on some bread.

Fang Qiuye took the menu handed by Teacher Gong and quickly glanced at it. For each dish’s name, countless thoughts flashed through her mind, forming multiple useful or useless plots. But in the end, she looked at the handsome man in front of her and bit her lip.

“Teacher, I have a request. Can we… order in English?” she tentatively asked, blushing a little.

She felt that she might be classified as a pervert or something by her blind date! Gong Xuechang was stunned for a moment, and he looked at the girl’s face carefully. The girl didn’t wear makeup, but her eyes that looked lethargic seemed to brighten at the moment.

Did she know he liked translating? Or did she like English?

“I heard that you have a clerical job, in-” he began.

“I work in Jinjiang Network,” Fang Qiuye finished for him. She drank the fresh passion fruit juice in front of her, and her face wrinkled with its sourness. “Teacher, how do you say passion fruit in English?”

Gong Xuechang: “…Is this what you need for your work?”

She was even more obsessed than him when he first received a translation job.

Fang Qiuye was stunned for a moment. “No, I use Chinese mainly. It’s… a hobby.” Satisfying the needs of her idol was indeed a hobby!

Gong Xuechang nodded.

Their first blind date ended with them translating the names of the dishes and answering questions about grammar. It was a very strange first meeting.

He thought that the girl would ask him about his family situation or salary, whether he would live with his parents after marriage, how big his house was, and whether he had a car… But in the end, she only asked the difference between the translation of dry pot bullfrog and a boiled bullfrog. In particular, she asked about the grammar structure for ‘…bullfrog legs are very elastic and delicious…’

Gong Xuechang felt like he was blinded by this strange ordeal, but it only took him ten minutes to completely remember this girl.

“Xiao Gong, I heard from Xiao Fang’s mother that you and Xiao Fang finally met?” As soon as Professor Zheng got the news, she came to interview him excitedly. “How is it? Do you have feelings for her? Do you find her suitable? Do you want to continue dating?”

Gong Xuechang recalled the whole bullfrog English course and the hard work the girl put in when she wrote notes on her small notebook. Then, he nodded without hesitation.

“Pretty good,” he agreed. “She’s very serious.”

“Huh?”

Professor Zheng didn’t understand and was at a loss. What kind of first impression was that?

“She has high pursuits and passion for English,” Gong Xuechang clarified.

“What…?”

Professor Zheng frowned. She glanced at Teacher Gong, who was preparing the lecture notes in front of the computer, and shook her head. Xiao Gong had only been teaching for a while, but his brain was already broken!

“You have to ask more about what she likes and take her out to play. Understand?” she patted him enthusiastically. “Have some fun in life! Watch a movie, eat and hit the road at night!”

A trace of confusion flashed in Gong Xuechang’s eyes. “…Oh.”

The next day, he was invited out by Fang Qiuye for lunch again.

“Want to stroll down the street? There’s a nice coffee and dessert shop,” he offered, thinking of Professor Zheng’s words.

However, Fang Qiuye, who was holding an English textbook, hurriedly shook her head. After asking grammar questions, she had to rush back to update her chapters. But she stopped abruptly after shaking her head halfway.

“Huh? Dessert?” she said, her eyes brightening, “Yeah, desserts are okay! Teacher, maybe you can teach me the name of the desserts in English!?”

Gong Xuechang: “…”

This blind date seemed to really like English. Surprisingly… she was in tune with him!
