Chapter 307: Two Idiots
“What’s so surprising about that? I have a friend’s daughter who divorced her husband after three days of marriage!” A male professor jumped in. He even joked about it. “At that time, we all felt that it was a waste to give them the gift money. There were even weirdos who asked them to return the gift money!”
The female teacher shook her head and said, “This is different.”
The male professor asked, “How so?”
“I heard from my daughter that the bride was pregnant and that both the groom and the bride had chosen the wedding date. Who knew that on the night before the wedding, the groom had gone to a bar to do something indecent. The police caught him. The next day, the bride ran to the police station to look for him in her red bridal dress. Fortunately, the girl was strong-willed. After seeing the disgusting face of the man, she broke up with him.”
“Tsk tsk!” When everyone heard those words, their expression became full of disdain. “I don’t know what he was thinking. He already had a child and was about to marry, yet he went to such a messy place.” The male professor then looked at Wei Shuyi and sighed. “Our Mr. Wei is a good young man. He never messes around. And those indecent people even have wives and children. Why hasn’t Mr. Wei started dating yet?”
Mr. Wei, who never messed around, chose not to speak.
At this moment, he was feeling guilty.
He felt extremely grateful that Jiaren Wu had used her body to cover his face that night. Otherwise, these teachers would have been shocked after seeing his face in the newspapers or the news!
Seeing that Wei Shuyi did not speak, the male professor asked, “Right, Mr. Wei?”
Wei Shuyi calmly nodded and answered, “Teacher Wang is right. A man who wants to get married still goes to that kind of place. He deserved to get dumped by the bride.”
“Our Mr. Wei’s morals are too strong.” The male professor could not help but sigh. “Now, no one wants a good man, but the hooligans get to start a family early.”
Wei Shuyi couldn’t help but correct Teacher Wang. “It’s not like no one wants me…”
Just as he was about to say that, Teacher Wang interrupted him. He asked, “The girl who came to look for you last time… Why hasn’t she come recently?”
Before Wei Shuyi could reply to this, the female professor spoke up. She worriedly asked Wei Shuyi, “Did you blow it?”
Wei Shuyi was speechless.
“I’m going to wash my hands.”
He quickly got up and ran to the toilet to wash his hands.
It was the dead of winter. The cold water splashed on the back of Wei Shuyi’s hand, but the thing that turned cold was his heart. It was not good to be in the same office with a group of aunties and uncles. Everyone was worried about his love life. Sigh! Wei Shuyi shook his head. Suddenly, his phone rang again.
He opened WeChat and saw a message from Jiaren Wu.
Alluring Beauty: [The 13th thing I want to ask is: Mr. Wei, can you cook?]
Wei Shuyi thought for a while and tapped on his phone.
Wei Shuyi: [Yes.]
Alluring Beauty: [Really? I’m resting tomorrow and won’t be working tonight.]
Wei Shuyi: [So?]
Alluring Beauty: [I became your guarantor last time. Shouldn’t you treat me to a meal?]
Wei Shuyi: [I remember that you were the one who locked me up.]
Alluring Beauty: [Smile emoji.]
Alluring Beauty: [I remember it too. I caught you because you were fooling around.]
Wei Shuyi was speechless.
Feeling guilty, he scanned his surroundings. When he saw that no one had entered the washroom, he felt relieved. He then sent a voice message to Jiaren Wu. “Can I disagree?”
Alluring Beauty: [Sure, I’ll go to school to look for you…]
Wei Shuyi: [Come! Come to my house for lunch tomorrow.]
Alluring Beauty: [I wanted to say that if you disagree, I will go to your school to look for you and treat you to a meal. Are you feeling guilty? Are you afraid that I will go to the school to spread the news?]
Wei Shuyi sent three exclamation marks.
Wei Shuyi: [I did not know what you meant!]
Alluring Beauty: [Yes, you are a good person.]
Wei Shuyi quickly logged out of WeChat. He was afraid that if he continued, he would not be able to hold back his curses. His upbringing did not allow him to scold a girl.
As he had to treat Jiaren Wu to a meal, Wei Shuyi left work and went to the market to buy some vegetables. The next morning, he marinated some vegetables in advance. After the classes in the afternoon, he planned to go home and cook the vegetables.
The next day, after class ended, he packed his things and planned to leave.
At this moment, Professor Wang said, “Teacher Wei, aren’t you going to the cafeteria to eat?”
“No, I’m meeting a friend for dinner today.”
“Oh.”
The teachers thought it would be just an ordinary friend.
Their group left the office together. Just as they reached the bottom of the office building, they saw a girl with a white knitted cap on her head leaning against the door. The girl had worn a checkered shirt with a short coat made of yellow deerskin. She had also donned on a thick A-line long skirt, revealing a pair of black flat boots under it.
Wei Shuyi didn’t manage to link this girl to Jiaren Wu in such a short period.
Hearing the voices, Jiaren Wu looked up and waved at Wei Shuyi. “Brother Wei, I’m here.”
All the teachers winked at Wei Shuyi and cast him puzzled looks. Only the two teachers in their office recognized Jiaren Wu as the woman who had come to the office to look for Wei Shuyi the last time. They smiled and said, “Yo, pretty lady, you’re here to look for Mr. Wei?”
“That’s right.” Jiaren Wu smiled and walked over. She tugged on Wei Shuyi’s sleeve like a little girl throwing a tantrum. “I’ve been waiting for you for a while.”
Wei Shuyi shook off the goosebumps on his body and apologetically smiled toward his colleagues. “I’m getting off work. See you tomorrow.” Then, he led the cute Jiaren Wu away.
“You rode your motorbike here?” Wei Shuyi asked Jiaren Wu.
Shaking her head, Jiaren Wu replied, “I took a bus.”
“Oh.”
Wei Shuyi led her toward the garage. On the way, he sternly lectured Jiaren Wu, “In the future, just call me by my name or Mr. Wei. Don’t call me Brother Wei.” After a pause, he added, “It feels mushy.”
Jiaren Wu said, “Mr. Wei sounds distant, but it’s impolite for me to call you Wei Shuyi. It has to be either Brother Wei or Brother. Or…” Jiaren Wu looked at Wei Shuyi with a smile and said, “I can call you darling.”
Wei Shuyi stopped in his tracks. He turned around and stared at Jiaren Wu with a burning gaze as if he were staring at his most beloved lover.
Jiaren Wu’s heart skipped a beat. “Why are you looking at me like that?”
Wei Shuyi held his briefcase with his left hand and his right hand was in his pocket. He closed in on Jiaren Wu, and the distance between the two of them instantly shortened.
Jiaren Wu could even hear Wei Shuyi’s breathing.
Wei Shuyi wanted to scare Jiaren Wu. He took out his right hand from his pocket and held her cheek with his right.
Jiaren Wu subconsciously swallowed her saliva.
“Are you molesting me?” she asked him.
Wei Shuyi pretended to be evil. He raised his eyebrows and asked, “Don’t you like me?” Pretending to be a good-for-nothing, bad man, he tried to act unrestrained. He said, “If you like me, I can do whatever I want, right?”
Then, he lowered his head and moved closer to Jiaren Wu. Jiaren Wu wasn’t afraid at all as she watched his head approach her. Throughout the entire process, she even maintained a calm smile.
When Wei Shuyi saw that she wasn’t avoiding him, he cursed himself in his heart.
She must be crazy!
Just as Wei Shuyi was about to push her away, Jiaren Wu extended her hand and tugged at his tie. She tiptoed over and kissed him!
Wei Shuyi quickly pushed her away. “What are you doing? Why are you touching me?”
Jiaren Wu righteously rebutted, “Nonsense! It was clearly a kiss!”
Wei Shuyi noticed that Jiaren Wu’s ears were a little red. He thoughtfully asked her, “First kiss?”
Jiaren Wu lied through her teeth. “I’m as beautiful as a flower on a university campus with countless suitors. How can this be my first kiss”
“Is that so?” Wei Shuyi touched his lips that were scratched by his teeth and said, “Fortunately, this is not my first kiss.”
Jiaren Wu gave him a dangerous look. “Hey, who did you give your first kiss to?”
Wei Shuyi said, “A pig.”
Jiaren Wu was stunned.
Then she realized that she was the pig.
Wei Shuyi strode toward his car, ignoring Jiaren Wu behind him. His mind was in a mess right now. The first kiss he had envisioned had happened in a romantic place with his lover.
He had once watched a television drama. It was a Korean drama that young people loved to watch at that time. It was called “IRIS.” The kiss between the male and female leads had always been the kiss that Wei Shuyi yearned for.
In the end, Jiaren Wu had appeared out of nowhere and snatched away his first kiss.
He felt very aggrieved.
When Wei Shuyi reached his car and looked at it, he suddenly recalled the frivolous words that Jiaren Wu had said that day…
He held his forehead.
Jiaren Wu was poisonous, and he would be poisoned if he got too close.
Jiaren Wu had already caught up with him. Seeing his dark expression, she said, “Can I apologize to you? I didn’t know that was your first kiss…” She didn’t expect Mr. Wei to be so innocent.
Wei Shuyi opened the car door and sat inside. Jiaren Wu hurried to the front passenger seat.
Wei Shuyi glanced at the passenger seat.
This seat was also prepared for his future wife.
“Get out of the car,” he said.
Jiaren Wu was stunned. “You want me to take the bus to your house?”
Wei Shuyi explained, “Sit in the back.”
Jiaren Wu blinked her long eyelashes and revealed a complicated expression. “I will sit in this position sooner or later.” Then, she jumped out of the car and angrily sat in the back seat. Only after that did Wei Shuyi drive the car home with this shameless guest.
Although this thick-skinned woman had stolen his first kiss an hour ago, Wei Shuyi had promised to treat her to a meal. Naturally, he would not go back on his words.
He cooked many dishes, but he realized that Jiaren Wu loved his stir-fried pig liver and pig’s waist.
His cooking method was actually quite simple. There were only some scallions, a few strands of ginger, some chopped small peppers, and some garlic leaves. Jiaren Wu was especially good at eating and wasn’t afraid of spicy food. Wei Shuyi watched as she finished two bowls of rice. He was still wondering if he had cooked enough rice when Jiaren Wu finally put down her bowl.
Seeing that she was full, Wei Shuyi took the liberty to ask, “How do you maintain your figure after eating so much?” Jiaren Wu’s figure was naturally decent. People who dared to wear revealing clothing would not have bad figures.
Jiaren Wu said, “I run six kilometers every morning. Every day after dinner, I do 80 sit-ups and 50 push-ups. Every Saturday, I practice boxing with my senior brother.” Jiaren Wu glanced at Wei Shuyi and asked, “Do you think I eat too much?”
Wei Shuyi shook his head. “Since you exercise so much, it isn’t a lot.”
Jiaren Wu’s gaze swept over Wei Shuyi’s upper body. Wei Shuyi had a feeling that she was sizing him up through the sweater. After looking at him for a while, Jiaren Wu said, “Your figure is quite good too. Do you train often?”
“Well, I go to the gym three times a week.”
“Yes, there are more and more lazy people nowadays. Fewer people live a regular life like you,” Jiaren Wu thought: He’s indeed the person I like. He’s good-looking, clean, good at cooking, and good at exercising… He’s good in all aspects except his attitude toward me.
It’s quite worrying.
After dinner, Jiaren Wu stayed at Wei Shuyi’s house.
Wei Shuyi was too embarrassed to chase her away. Even in winter, he had the habit of taking naps. He sat on the sofa and forced himself to read, but eventually, he nodded off. Sitting opposite him, Jiaren Wu was watching a television drama on her phone. When Wei Shuyi woke up from his nap, he looked up and realized that Jiaren Wu had already fallen asleep.
