Encounter with Xu Anting
The more Qiao Qiao thought about it, the more upset she felt. In the end, she suddenly realized that she was asking too much of He Shaochen.
What was their relationship? What reason did she have to ask others to make do with her?
She had been with He Shaochen for too long and had almost been assimilated.
However, now was not the time to think about this. Listening to He Shaochen's words, they were completely finished, right? In the future, this person would probably never appear in her life again.
Thinking about it this way, it was pretty good. She had finally regained her freedom and was completely liberated from the evil clutches of that bastard.
But when he thought about it, he felt a little stifled in his heart.
Qiao Qiao looked around and realized a very serious problem. Was she … left on the highway?
He Shaochen wanted to take her to where?
It had been a while since they left Emperor Lan. Looking at the sky, it wasn't realistic to walk back, so they could only take a taxi. Qiao Qiao helplessly reached for her wallet, but after a while, she realized a more serious problem.
She had left her purse and phone in the car!
She didn't have a cell phone, so she couldn't get in touch with anyone. She also didn't have any money in her pocket, which meant that she was now penniless, and this situation would most likely continue until He Shaochen asked someone to pack her luggage and send it back to school.
Qiaoqiao carefully looked around, but still did not have a single coin.
He was really unlucky. Even drinking water would get stuck between his teeth. In a situation where he was penniless and did not have any communication tools, walking back seemed to be the only choice.
Qiao Qiao recognized the direction and then walked along the side of the road. Along the way, there was an endless stream of cars passing by her. She could only watch helplessly. Who asked her to not have money on her?
Time passed by slowly, and the sun slowly slanted to the west, elongating the shadows of people.
The more Qiao Qiao walked, the more upset she felt.
In order to finish the experiment as soon as possible and not let He Shaochen wait too long, she didn't even have lunch. She had been rushing her work, and now she only felt hungry, thirsty, and extremely tired.
He Shaochen scolded him several times in his heart when he thought about how he would be penniless when he returned home and didn't even have any water to drink.
Soon, the sky darkened, and the street lamps on both sides lit up one after another. The pale light was somewhat cold.
Qiao Qiao sighed as she gazed into the endless distance. It would probably be very late by the time she got back to school. She hoped that the dormitory door wouldn't be closed by then.
At this time, a dazzling light shone from behind, accompanied by a clear whistle. Qiao Qiao thought that it was a warning, so she quickly moved to the side. However, after a while, the car still didn't pass by her.
The whistle continued to sound. Qiaoqiao was stunned. Before she could turn around to see what was going on, a familiar voice entered her ears.
"Joe Qiao?"
Qiao Qiao was startled. She turned around and saw Xu Anting getting out of the car and walking towards her.
"Professor Xu?" Qiao Qiao was surprised. Why was he here?
At this time, Amy, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, also got out of the car. She stood in front of the car door, and under the pale light of the street lamps, her blue eyes looked somewhat cold.
"Why are you in a place like this?" Xu Anting asked with concern.
Under Xu Anting's clear gaze, Qiao Qiao felt a little guilty. She couldn't tell him about her relationship with He Shaochen, so she could only vaguely say, "Because of some personal matters …"
She didn't want to answer directly, so Xu Anting didn't force her. He only said with a slight reproach, "It's dangerous for a girl like you to be out in the wilderness. Why didn't you take a car back?"
"I didn't bring any money with me …" Qiao Qiao answered awkwardly. In fact, she had left her money in He Shaochen's car.
When Xu Anting heard this, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Even if you didn't transfer any money, shouldn't you have asked a friend to pick you up? Don't tell me you didn't bring your cell phone with you."
Qiao Qiao was even more embarrassed. "In theory, yes."
Xu Anting didn't know what to say. He looked down at the student he cared a lot about, put his hand to his forehead, and laughed. "When did you become so careless? When we get back, I'll have to check your experiment report properly. "
"Uhh …" Qiao Qiao suddenly looked like she was about to cry. "Professor Xu, please have mercy on me."
No matter how the experiment report was written, as long as it went through Xu Anting's hands, he would definitely be able to find a lot of flaws in it. Even Qiao Qiao felt a lingering fear when she saw the entire paper filled with red annotations.
"If you knew this would happen, why didn't you take your work seriously?" Xu Anting was amused by Qiao Qiao.
At this moment, Qiao Qiao's stomach rumbled. She blushed and quickly covered her stomach. She lowered her head in embarrassment and didn't dare to look at him.
Xu Anting didn't expose her and just smiled gently. "I'm a little hungry too. Let's go eat together."
Amy suddenly frowned and said half-jokingly, "Xu, we just ate at the cafeteria. Why are you hungry again so soon?"
As soon as she said that, Qiao Qiao was stunned.
Xu Anting turned around and gave Amy a warning look. Amy didn't mind. She crossed her arms over her chest and smiled lightly. It wasn't clear if she was joking or not. She asked, "You care so much about this student. Don't tell me you're thinking of hitting on her?"
Qiao Qiao was stunned and looked at Amy in astonishment.
The latter gave her a provocative smile.
Qiao Qiao suddenly felt a surge of anger. She clenched her fists. Amy's words had made her angry. How could she look at Xu Anting with such thoughts?
He was completely different from those people who used their power to toy with female students!
In Qiao Qiao's eyes, Xu Anting was a sacred and inviolable existence. He was like her spiritual leader.
Xu Anting's gentle features turned serious. He glanced at Amy calmly. "Qiao Qiao is alone in the wilderness. What if she gets into danger? Do you have a problem with me giving her a ride? "
Amy pursed her lips and spread her hands. "Okay, whatever you say is right, okay?"
With that, she got into the car and slammed the door shut. She used so much force that it seemed like she had done it specifically for someone to see.
Xu Anting looked at Amy helplessly. Did this person eat gunpowder recently?
"Um … Miss Amy seems to be angry. Professor Xu, you don't have to worry about me. I can walk back on my own."
He turned around and saw Qiao Qiao tugging at her clothes awkwardly. Her amber eyes were trembling as she stared at him. His heart suddenly skipped a beat.
It was as if a part of his heart had collapsed.
Xu Anting took a deep breath and shook his head. "It's fine. She's just suffering from periodic emotional disorder. Don't mind her. Come, get in the car."
With that, he grabbed Qiao Qiao's wrist very naturally.
