Jiang Suzhou was a little confused by his expression and asked, "… What are you laughing at?"
Huo Wujiu immediately put on a straight face. "I'm not laughing."
Jiang Suzhou turned his gaze back to him.
Huo Wujiu asked again, "What would be considered an improper relationship?"
Jiang Suzhou looked ahead and did not say anything.
How could he say that he was not laughing? The laughter in his voice was like a fox's tail that he could not hide.
For some reason, Jiang Suzhou seemed to know this student very well even though he had only known him for a short time.
Jiang Suzhou did not say anything.
Huo Wujiu continued, "It's one-sided love. It doesn't count as improper relationship, right?"
Hearing this, the guilty conscience in Jiang Suizhou's heart was stirred up again.
"At least not for teachers," he could not help but say.
These words were clearly meant for himself.
"So, it's okay to be a student?" Huo Wujiu's voice sounded even more amused.
Jiang Suzhou could not help but turn his head to look at him.
Her eyes were sparkling, and there was an indescribable meaning in her smile. It was as if she had very strong feelings, and through that smile, she stuffed them all into Jiang Suizhou's arms without any concealment.
"… What did you say?" Jiang Suzhou's voice weakened.
Huo Wujiu looked at him for a while and did not say anything. After a while, as if he had accepted his fate, his smile faded.
"I didn't say anything," he said. "I mean, you don't have to worry. Since it's a one-sided pursuit of you, it won't affect you."
Jiang Suzhou paused for a moment and then said, "Mm."
Huo Wujiu turned his head to look out the window and sighed silently.
It was really difficult for him to recover his memory.
His wife was right next to him. Not only could he not touch her, but he was also afraid that he would say something that would scare her. They were clearly a couple, but he still had to say that it was an "improper relationship."
What could be more proper than a husband and wife relationship?

Jiang Suizhou finished the meal with extreme uneasiness.
He wasn't sure if this student had any improper thoughts about him, but he was sure that he had feelings for this student.
This feeling of fondness and throbbing came out of nowhere, and he didn't even know much about her. He had never come into contact with someone with such a personality before.
However, regardless of the reason, Jiang Suizhou knew in his heart that as a teacher, he could not make such a mistake.
After returning home that day, he thought for a long time and sent a message to Huo Wujiu.
"Don't contact me again."
Jiang Suzhou knew that if such emotions could not be controlled, they needed to be cut off in time.
After he sent the message, he looked at the line of words on the screen and felt his heart sink to the bottom. As if he was running away, he hurriedly clicked on Huo Wujiu's profile picture and blocked him along with his phone number.
He must have found me particularly strange. Jiang Suizhou thought.
However …
He had never liked anyone, let alone a student from his own school. This sudden feeling scared him. It was as if he would fall into a bottomless abyss if he took another step forward.
What was so attractive about this student?
Jiang Suizhou sat on the sofa and didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
He was very good-looking, but Jiang Suizhou had never cared about that. He was very domineering and a little shameless. After interacting with him for a while, he also showed that he didn't like to study. He didn't seem like someone he would like.
However …
Jiang Suizhou stared at his phone in vain.
However, this person's every move and expression was adorable.
After a while, he sighed and went back to his bedroom to sleep.
With this kind of mood, he should have had insomnia, but he fell asleep very quickly.
In his dream, he saw the luxurious and spacious Imperial Prince Jing's Estate. He saw red candles everywhere. He saw the tall and straight figure under the red veil and the sinister face. He also saw the stars on the roof of Mingfeng Brothel and that pair of bottomless black eyes.
Jiang Suizhou woke up with a start from his dream.
The sky outside was already starting to brighten. He stared at the ceiling for a while before coming back to his senses.
Huo Wujiu … that was Huo Wujiu!
He had returned to his own era, and Huo Wujiu had followed him back.
No wonder he kept pestering him when they met. No wonder he smiled at him for no reason yesterday. No wonder … whenever he saw him, his heart would beat abnormally fast.
Jiang Suizhou was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses. He hurriedly reached for his phone on the bedside table.
… Not a single trace was left behind.
Yesterday, he was in a bad mood. In order to not have any lingering thoughts, he deleted all traces of Huo Wujiu. Jiang Suizhou flipped through his phone for a long time, but he couldn't find Huo Wujiu's contact information. After a long time, he resigned himself to his fate and let out a long sigh. His hand fell back onto the blanket.
What had he done … He had told Huo Wujiu to never contact him again, and had even blocked all of his contacts.
Jiang Suizhou was stunned for a while before he let out a low chuckle.
That explosive powder keg … he didn't know how angry he would be.
However, he didn't know where Huo Wujiu lived. He still had to attend the cocktail party his father had arranged for him. After lying down for a long time, he sat up.
He could only wait until Monday to take the initiative to look for him.
The sky was already bright. Jiang Suizhou looked at the time and got out of bed to get ready. Sure enough, when it was two hours before the cocktail party, his father's assistant called him on time and told him what time he would be picking him up.
Jiang Suizhou changed into a suit, tidied up his hair, and went downstairs at the appointed time.
His assistant had already parked the car in the underground garage downstairs. He opened the car door. Sure enough, there were only two people in his car.
"Third Young Master." The assistant turned around to greet him.
Jiang Suizhou responded and closed the door without saying a word.
The car slowly drove out. After more than an hour, they arrived at a villa in the northern suburbs. When Jiang Suizhou got out of the car, there were already many people there. The assistant led him all the way into the villa and he saw his father in the banquet hall.
He bears a striking resemblance to his father. When his father was young, he could be considered a handsome man. Even though he was old now, he was still tall and straight. Even though his hair was white, he only looked a little more mature.
From afar, Jiang Suizhou saw a few people around his father.
They were his business partners. Jiang Suizhou looked familiar. However, unlike in the past, their surroundings were livelier today.
One of the business partners had a young and beautiful woman on his arm. She looked delicate, but her temperament was elegant and calm.
Jiang Suizhou walked to his father's side and said lightly, "Father."
His father smiled and nodded at him. He motioned for the waiter next to him to bring him a glass of wine. Then he smiled and introduced him to the people around him, "This is my son, Jiang Suizhou."
Jiang Suizhou took the wine glass and nodded at the people around him with familiarity and indifference.
The elder holding the young woman raised his hand and patted the back of the woman's hand. He smiled and said, "Yuanyuan, this is your Uncle Jiang's child, Suizhou. He's teaching in the university. He's young and promising. "
The woman looked up at Jiang Suizhou and nodded politely at him with a smile.
Jiang Suizhou recognized the woman's father. He had worked with his family for many years. They could be considered partners separated by a strip of water. They were evenly matched in terms of social status.
Jiang Suizhou frowned slightly and turned to look at his father.
However, his father acted as if he didn't see his expression. He smiled and chatted with the people around him, "What young and promising? He's just a teacher."
The people around him smiled and echoed, "It takes ten years to grow trees and a hundred years to cultivate people. There's a lot of knowledge in this teaching profession."
Then someone asked, "Eh? Isn't Suizhou a little older than Yuanyuan? "
His father said, "He's just three years old."
The people around him immediately laughed.
"That's great. The age difference isn't big. We can have a good chat."
The woman's father pushed her. "Haven't you always liked to read history? There's a history professor here. If there's anything you're interested in, why don't you ask him directly? "
Jiang Suizhou couldn't suppress his annoyance as he listened to the people around him.
He turned and said to his father, "I'm going over there to eat something first."
However, before he could leave, his father stopped him.
"What are you going to do by yourself?" his father asked. "Go with Yuanyuan."
Immediately, the eyes of the people around him fell on Jiang Suizhou again.
Jiang Suizhou slowly exhaled. He gritted his teeth and forced a smile. "There's no need, father …"
Before he could finish his sentence, a voice suddenly came from the side.
"Do we have to go together?" The voice was lazy and a little deep, but it sounded very arrogant. It was as if the crystal ceiling of this commercial cocktail party couldn't suppress his arrogance.
"If that's the case, I'll go with him."
Everyone turned around and was a little stunned for a moment.
"… Young Master Huo?" the woman's father called after a long time.
Jiang Suizhou looked up and saw Huo Wujiu standing in front of the empty seat that the people had vacated. He was also wearing a rather formal suit today. He held a wine glass in one hand, and his hair was very distinct.
For a moment, the faces of the people around him were more or less filled with flattery and fear.
Everyone knew that the Huo Family was famous for being a nouveau riche in the country. The young master of the Huo Family was also famous for not being stingy. Everyone knew that.
However, they only dared to say these words behind his back.
"Young Master Huo, you're here today? Welcome, welcome. How's your father these days? "someone asked with a smile.
Jiang Suizhou's father also cast a careful and expectant gaze.
However, Huo Wujiu acted as if he didn't hear anything. He strode forward and grabbed Jiang Suizhou's wrist and pulled him away.
"What are you doing?!" Jiang Suizhou was shocked.
Huo Wujiu said without turning his head, "Aren't you hungry? Let's go and eat. "
