Xu Anting's Selfishness
"Professor Xu," Qiao Qiao called out in a trembling voice as she looked at Xu Anting's calm face.
Xu Anting raised his head from the document. His handsome face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost. He looked at her and said word by word, "where did you go yesterday?"
"Yesterday … I …" Qiao Qiao clutched the corner of her clothes like a primary school student who had made a mistake. She was so guilty that she didn't even dare to raise her head.
She didn't know how to answer. It was impossible for her to tell Xu Anting the truth about He Shaochen, but she didn't want to lie to Xu Anting, so she could only choose to remain silent.
When Xu Anting saw that Qiao Qiao didn't say anything, disappointment flashed in his eyes. He said in a flat tone, "If you don't want to say it, then forget it."
Qiao Qiao panicked when she heard that. "No, I just have some personal matters to attend to."
"Private matters?"
"Yes." Qiao Qiao nodded heavily. The agreement with He Shaochen should be considered a private matter, right?
Xu Anting's suspicious expression did not diminish. "But I heard from Hao Youran that you left with a strange man."
Qiao Qiao's intuition told her that Xu Anting must have misunderstood her relationship with Liang Ziming. "Professor, you've seen him before. You saw him in the coffee shop. I didn't see him again after I took the documents from you. I didn't come back last night. It has nothing to do with him!"
"Did you go crazy because you went out with your boyfriend?"
"I didn't!" Qiao Qiao immediately retorted. She didn't want Xu Anting to misunderstand. Her fierce reaction stunned Xu Anting. After Qiao Qiao said that, she realized that her attitude was inappropriate. When she saw Xu Anting's stunned expression, she immediately became nervous. She bit her lip, lowered her head, and explained in a low voice, "I don't have a boyfriend …"
"Hehe, my words were inappropriate. Don't mind it." Perhaps it was because of Qiao Qiao's strong rebuttal, a smile gradually appeared on Xu Anting's face. He stood up and walked to Qiao Qiao's side. Like an elder, he patted Qiao Qiao's head and said seriously, "It's good that you don't have a boyfriend. You should focus on your studies. It's too early for you to fall in love."
A fresh mint smell wafted into Qiao Qiao's nose, making her a little dizzy. It was Xu Anting's unique smell.
She blushed and looked a little tipsy. She nodded obediently. "Okay, I'll focus on my studies."
Even if she wanted to find a boyfriend, she didn't have the conditions. After all, completing the research report Xu Anting gave her every day exhausted all her mental and physical energy. She really didn't have time to fall in love.
Sometimes, Qiao Qiao couldn't help but think that Xu Anting deliberately arranged so much homework for her so that she didn't have time to fall in love.
"Don't come home late in the future. If you really can't make it, call me. I'll pick you up."
"How can I do that?" Qiao Qiao hurriedly shook her head.
"Why can't I?" Xu Anting's eyes had a hint of lightness. He smiled gently. "How dangerous is it for a girl like you to be outside? I'm your tutor. I call the shots. "
When Qiao Qiao saw Xu Anting's bright smile, she felt a warm current flow into her heart and her whole body.
It would be unnatural for her to reject the other party's kind intentions. It was not a big deal for a teacher to pick up his own disciple, so Qiaoqiao straightforwardly and generously agreed. Her eyes curved. "Thank you, Professor Xu."
Xu Anting's handsome face broke into a smile. "You're welcome."
Before leaving Xu Anting's office, Xu Anting handed Qiao Qiao a stack of documents. They were specially prepared for her to study the research report he gave her yesterday.
