Jiang Suzhou watched as Huo Wujiu calmly got into his car.
"Then your car …" Jiang Suzhou couldn't help but ask.
Huo Wujiu turned his head to look at him. "What?"
Jiang Suzhou said, "Just leave it there? Don't you need it repaired? "
Huo Wujiu was only thinking about how to get into Jiang Suzhou's car, so he didn't think about this at all.
He paused, then said, "Ah, it's fine. Just leave it there."
Jiang Suzhou felt that his nonchalant attitude was a little strange, but seeing that he insisted on leaving, he didn't say anything.
He got into the car and started the engine. The car slowly drove out of the campus.
"Turn on the GPS," Jiang Suzhou said.
Huo Wujiu nodded. When he lowered his head, he turned on his phone and searched for the famous Huaiyang cuisine restaurant near his house.
He remembered very clearly that although they lived in Ye City in his previous life, Jiang Suzhou had always liked the food in Lin 'an. Because of this, he hired many chefs who specialized in Jiangnan cuisine in the palace in his previous life. Even his own taste was influenced by them.
It was no wonder … In this life, he always felt that Jiangnan cuisine wasn't that good, but he liked it very much. It turned out that this was the reason behind it.
Once the navigation system was turned on, Jiang Suizhou focused on driving.
Huo Wujiu, on the other hand, felt like he was sitting on pins and needles. After a while, he finally found a topic to talk about.
"Professor Jiang, you're quite young, right?" he asked.
Jiang Suzhou looked at the road and thought that this student was feeling awkward if he didn't talk, so he answered casually, "Not too young, twenty-seven years old."
"You're not young? You became a professor so early? "Huo Wujiu said.
"I'm not a professor, just a lecturer." Jiang Suzhou smiled. "I just started teaching early. I started teaching students when I was still in my doctorate. I haven't taught for many years."
"Oh." Huo Wujiu nodded, then probed. "You seem to like history?"
"I'm interested." Jiang Suzhou nodded.
"Do you like … people in history?" Huo Wujiu turned to look at him.
The eyes behind Jiang Suizhou's glasses curved into crescents as he smiled. "You're right. Studying them is indeed very interesting."
Huo Wujiu raised his eyebrows and asked, "Just research?"
Jiang Suzhou was a little confused by his question. Taking advantage of the red light, he turned his head and glanced at Huo Wujiu. "Yeah, is there anything else?"
Huo Wujiu muttered in his heart, "Of course there is."
But now, Jiang Suizhou still didn't know anything, so he definitely couldn't say that.
He paused and said reluctantly, "… No more."

On this day, Jiang Suizhou had another meal with this student in a daze.
When they arrived near his house, the student insisted that he had to take him out and asked him to treat him to a meal. At the dining table, although the dishes the student ordered were not his usual favorites, they unexpectedly suited his taste. There was even an inexplicable sense of familiarity, as if he really did like to eat these dishes in the past.
It was a little strange, but Jiang Suzhou didn't take it to heart.
After the meal, he made an excuse that he had to leave first to pay the bill. His original intention was that he didn't want to spend the student's money, but he didn't expect that this action would bring him a lot of trouble.
After that, the student began to come to him often.
As long as it was his class, he would attend every class. He was even more punctual than the students in his class. After class, the student would always find something to do. Sometimes he would ask him questions, and sometimes he would bring him all kinds of snacks, saying that he wanted to return the lunch he had at noon. Sometimes, when he stayed in the office at noon and didn't go home, the student would specially come to deliver food to him.
This degree of diligence was as if he didn't have anything to do in his field of study.
Jiang Suzhou reminded him a few times, but he showed an unusual interest in history. Jiang Suzhou occasionally saw similar situations at school. Some students who wanted to become a graduate student in the school would inquire in advance and contact the teachers in the school. This student did this … Maybe it was because he really wanted to become a graduate student in history?
Jiang Suzhou couldn't figure out the reason. But he didn't have the qualifications to teach graduate students. Even if this student wanted to know in advance, he shouldn't have come to him.
No matter what, he should have stopped him.
But for some reason, Jiang Suizhou couldn't bring himself to say no to this student. Their interactions were very natural.
Although it was a little strange, Jiang Suzhou couldn't stop him at all. Gradually, he got closer and closer to this student.
It didn't take long for him to know the student's name.
That day, in Jiang Suzhou's office. The sun was hot outside. Huo Wujiu used the excuse of coming to the air-conditioner to spend the afternoon in his office.
"Your name is … Huo Wujiu?" Jiang Suzhou was a little surprised.
Huo Wujiu knew that Jiang Suzhou asked this because he was surprised by his name, but when he heard this sentence, his heart couldn't help but beat a few times.
Of course I am. He thought to himself. Not only am I Huo Wujiu, but I'm also your man.
He forced these thoughts back to his heart and said, "Yes, that's my name."
Jiang Suzhou looked at him. At the same time, he was surprised, and at the same time, he had an inexplicable and complicated feeling.
It was as if two familiar things had finally been combined together. This person, this face, this name, seemed to be fused together by nature.
This made Jiang Suzhou feel a strange sense of familiarity, with an indescribable throbbing in the depths of his soul.
"… What a coincidence." He paused for a while, then said with a smile.
His strange expression immediately made Huo Wujiu notice that something was wrong.
"What's wrong?" He looked at Jiang Suzhou closely.
His expression … Did he think of something?
When Jiang Suzhou heard his question, he looked up at him with a puzzled expression.
"Nothing." Jiang Suzhou smiled and said. "I just didn't think of it. No wonder you're so interested in history. You must have been influenced by your family, right? "
Huo Wujiu frowned. He was a little anxious. He couldn't help but want to ask him directly if he thought of something.
But he resisted the urge and didn't ask.
After a while, he sighed in his heart.
Forget it. He thought to himself. If he thought of something, he wouldn't hide it. Anyway, it wasn't too important if he didn't think of it. It was fine as long as he knew the relationship between the two of them.
After all, he had time and energy. He didn't want to scare him.
Therefore, Huo Wujiu pursed his lips and smiled at Jiang Suzhou.
"Not really. My dad randomly came up with this name," he said.
Seeing that it was almost time for class, Huo Wujiu picked up his bag and prepared to leave.
After saying goodbye to Jiang Suzhou and taking two steps, Huo Wujiu thought of something. He turned around and said, "Mr. Jiang, after five o 'clock in the afternoon the day after tomorrow, do you have time?"
Jiang Suzhou thought carefully and said, "I do. Why?"
"Then why don't you come and watch my competition?" Huo Wujiu said with a smile. "After the competition, I'll take you out for a midnight snack."
Jiang Suzhou didn't think it was a good idea, but as usual, he couldn't say no.
He was silent for a while, and saw the corners of Huo Wujiu's mouth curl up even higher.
"Then it's a deal," Huo Wujiu said. He threw his bag over his shoulder and walked out.
Jiang Suzhou looked at the empty door. After a while, he sighed slightly.
He didn't know what was wrong with him.
At this moment, the sound of high heels could be heard. Jiang Suzhou looked up and saw a teacher from the same major coming to work with a bag.
"That student from the Finance Department came to see you again?" The female teacher was quite young. She was in her early thirties and had a good relationship with Jiang Suzhou.
"Yeah." Jiang Suzhou stopped thinking and nodded with a smile.
"He's looking for you more and more often." The female teacher sat down at her desk and smiled. "Did he say anything about the postgraduate entrance exam?"
Jiang Suzhou shook his head. "He didn't say anything about that."
"That's true. He wouldn't look for you even if he wanted to take the postgraduate entrance exam," the female teacher said half-jokingly. "Then you have to be careful."
"Be careful of what?" Jiang Suzhou didn't understand.
"Be careful that this student has ulterior motives." The female teacher said.
Jiang Suzhou was stunned.
The female teacher continued, "You have to believe me. You're young and you're so good-looking. So many students come to your class every time. Female students might have ulterior motives, but there's no guarantee that male students won't have ulterior motives. "
Jiang Suzhou looked at her in a daze. She smiled and said, "Don't be afraid. Anyway, don't be fooled by the student and make mistakes. Otherwise, you'll lose your job."
Jiang Suzhou wasn't afraid.
When he heard his colleague say this, he inexplicably thought of his heart beating too fast when he was with that student.
This actually made him feel guilty.
He was thinking … whether or not that student had ulterior motives, at least … his feelings for her might not be pure.
It might even be love at first sight.
Jiang Suzhou fell into deep thought.
At this moment, his phone rang.
He picked up the phone. There was no caller ID on the screen, but the phone number was very familiar. He rarely talked to this person on the phone. Usually, when both parties had important matters to discuss, they would only talk briefly.
He frowned and picked up the phone.
"Dad."
He heard his father's voice on the other end of the phone.
"Yes, you're not in class?"
"No." Jiang Suzhou replied indifferently.
"That's good." His father said on the other end. "There's a cocktail party this weekend. I'll ask the secretary to send you the time and address. Come and attend."
As expected, it was something like this again.
His sons were a bit unpresentable, and he was the only child of his father and his legal wife. Therefore, his father would only take the initiative to contact him when he needed him.
"Yes, okay." Jiang Suzhou agreed.
He heard his father say again, "Yes. You're not young anymore. When you go back to the cocktail party, you should get to know more girls your age. You have to worry about this kind of thing yourself. "
Jiang Suzhou sneered in his heart.
As expected, he still had the value of a business marriage that hadn't been used yet.
"I know this. You don't have to worry about it." Jiang Suzhou said indifferently.
"What do you know? What kind of people can you get to know on your own? "On the other end of the phone, his father's tone immediately became unhappy. "When the time comes, I'll arrange it for you. You just have to come."
After saying this, he hung up the phone without waiting for Jiang Suzhou to reply.
Jiang Suzhou's phone only left the busy tone.
