Chapter 91: Hinting at Old Jiang
University teachers aren’t afraid of difficult students for no reason.
Look at this girl in front of you…
She’s truly fierce. She grabbed the teacher by the collar right off the bat and questioned him, as if the teacher was at the bottom of the food chain.
However, no matter how angry Ji Yunqi was, it was too late now because the list had already been submitted. Ji Yunqi had no choice but to go even if she didn’t want to.
“The list has already been submitted. It’s impossible to withdraw it or change people now, so…” Jiang Youwei looked at Ji Yunqi with an embarrassed expression, flashing a smile that was both awkward and polite.
“Sigh…”
Ji Yunqi collapsed onto the chair, truly not wanting to be in the spotlight…
Now she’d been tricked by Jiang Youwei, which made her furious. But it was too late to say anything, so she could only do her best.
“You really… I want to slap you two times!”
Jiang Youwei: Σヽ(ﾟД ﾟ; )ﾉ
Jiang Youwei regretted it immensely. Was what he did so unacceptable?
That this girl would say such a thing, how much resentment did she have?
“Alright, alright, it’s the teacher’s fault. How about this, if there are any good things in the future, I’ll prioritize you, okay?”
Ji Yunqi got even angrier when she heard this. She was already upset about this host matter, and this guy was still thinking about arranging more work for her?
Although the more certificates and achievements one obtained through various activities during university, the more it proved the value of their graduation certificate and degree.
But…
She didn’t need it!
She came to university simply because she didn’t know what else to do, and to fulfill the dream of the original owner of this body. The exchange of karma was fair.
She just wanted to quietly get through these four years of university, not to be busy with various activities every day. That was really tiring, and meaningless to her.
“Forget it… I have too much to do, and no time for that. Forget about this host job, don’t arrange this kind of activity for me in the future,” Ji Yunqi said helplessly.
Jiang Youwei heard the helplessness in Ji Yunqi’s tone, but it wasn’t the time to worry about that. All that mattered now was to appease the ancestor in front of him.
“Okay, okay, as you say. I won’t arrange so much for you in the future. Of course, if you want to, you can. Hehe~”
“Ouch!” As soon as Jiang Youwei finished speaking, he saw a notebook flying towards him, scaring him into ducking to dodge the attack.
“Ancestor, is that enough? Don’t hit me anymore.” Jiang Youwei was truly at his wit’s end and could only beg for mercy, as he really couldn’t do anything about this ancestor.
Both publicly and privately, he had to appease her, otherwise, he would suffer.
“Sigh, you can’t… I really don’t know what kind of person you are…”
“Never mind.”
“I’m going back first. Just send me the relevant documents.”
“Yeah, yeah, yeah~”
After seeing Ji Yunqi leave, Jiang Youwei slumped back into his chair and couldn’t help but sigh, “Young people nowadays~”
It’s really unbelievable, not giving me, a teacher, any face at all. She cursed me right off the bat, making me lose a lot of face.
But fortunately, he was the only teacher in the office now. If other teachers saw this, it would be a huge embarrassment.
…………
“What’s wrong? Why do you look so flushed?” Tang Yun’er asked curiously.
Ji Yunqi sat back in her chair angrily. Ye Mingkong also handed her a bottle of water. Seeing her husband’s flushed expression, he found it quite novel.
It had been a long time since he had seen his husband angry and flushed. He didn’t expect that the current loli husband would flush so easily. It was truly interesting.
His whole demeanor was fierce but cute, with no harmfulness at all. Perhaps only the elderly and those who had done wrong deeds would be afraid.
“Don’t mention it. That old man didn’t even tell me and submitted my name, which makes me so angry!”
“Then why did you go to the office?”
After gulping down a large mouthful of water, Ji Yunqi said breathlessly, “Of course, I went to scold him. Such a despicable act, how could I not scold him to vent my anger!”
Ji Yunqi’s fierce expression made Tang Yun’er and the others tremble with fear. However, they were not afraid of Ji Yunqi’s appearance, but of the head teacher.
After all, scolding the head teacher was quite rare. And it was so direct, pointing at people’s noses and scolding them?
“You… aren’t you afraid he’ll make things difficult for you if you scold him like that?” Tang Yun’er asked with some worry.
After all, there were often incidents online where university teachers made things difficult for students, usually because they had offended a teacher over something.
And for someone like Ji Yunqi, who directly pointed at people’s noses and scolded them, the situation was probably even more serious.
“He wouldn’t dare!” Ji Yunqi wasn’t worried about this problem at all. On one hand, she knew Jiang Youwei’s character very well, and on the other hand…
It was because Ji Yunqi, as Jiang Youwei’s close friend, knew all his dark history and what his weaknesses were.
Although not fatal, it would definitely make him lose face. If he was unkind, don’t blame me for being unrighteous!
“Okay, okay, you’re fierce…” Tang Yun’er had no other ideas and could only wish Ji Yunqi good luck.
…………
“Be good, let me see!”
“No!”
As Ji Yunqi and Ye Mingkong reached the door of their home, they heard a sound that made one think of suggestive things. This confused them greatly, but the voice seemed to be their son and daughter-in-law.
Could it be that they were playing role-playing in the living room?
This…
Were they returning at the wrong time? Should they wait to go back?
“What should we do?” Ji Yunqi asked Ye Mingkong.
Ye Mingkong understood that it wasn’t a good time to open the door. It would be bad if they saw something they shouldn’t.
Although they were all adults, and the people inside were their son and daughter-in-law, parents should still maintain a sense of distance.
“Let’s go out to eat.”
Ji Yunqi nodded: “Okay.”
…………
Outside the residential area…
Ji Yunqi looked at the snacks around and was momentarily hesitant, not knowing what to eat.
“Wife, I want to eat everything, what should I do?”
Ye Mingkong tapped Ji Yunqi’s head: “You can’t eat that much. If you want to buy something, go ahead. If you can’t finish it, I’ll eat it. My appetite is huge now anyway.”
Ji Yunqi knew from this that she could buy whatever she wanted, of course, it was to eat. She didn’t have this chance before.
Just as Ji Yunqi and Ye Mingkong were about to go forward to buy something to eat, an acquaintance appeared in their sight.
“Old Jiang?” Ji Yunqi blurted out subconsciously. The person in front of them was none other than Jiang Youwei.
“Eh, why is it you two? What a coincidence, meeting you here…”
Jiang Youwei’s eyes scanned Ji Yunqi and Ye Mingkong. Their clasped hands made him frown slightly and feel a little displeased.
Now, Ji Yunqi lived with Ji Chengyun. To him, Ji Yunqi was like a child he needed to take care of. Now that this child was being held by a man, how could he remain calm?
Years of self-cultivation had not made Jiang Youwei lose his composure. He quickly calmed down.
He knew the brat in front of him, Ye Mingkong from the class, who was usually very low-key, but seemed to be a child without parental supervision.
Thinking of Ye Mingkong’s situation in the files, Jiang Youwei’s previously excited heart calmed down even more. It seemed like a good opportunity to understand if these two children were suitable for each other.
If they were suitable, he would naturally approve. If not, he would break them up!
Looking at the surroundings, Jiang Youwei realized that these two children should be looking for food. If so… why not invite them home to eat?
Eating at home would always be healthier than the fried food here.
“You haven’t eaten yet, have you?”
Ye Mingkong nodded: “Yes, yes. Are you going to treat us to a meal, Teacher Jiang?”
Like Ji Yunqi, Ye Mingkong spoke to Jiang Youwei without any burden, almost saying whatever came to his mind, not feeling anything wrong.
After all, it had been so many years, Old Jiang would definitely not have any objections.
“Alright, alright, let’s go to my house, I’ll cook for you.” Jiang Youwei didn’t expect Ye Mingkong to be so proactive.
Logically, students should be somewhat afraid of teachers. For students to go to a teacher’s house to eat, they would probably be very afraid.
Why were these two not like normal students at all?
But since the words were already out, he had to keep his promise. Besides, he had bought a lot of groceries today, so it was perfect to have two students over for a meal.
“Then let’s go, to my place.”
“Okay!” Ji Yunqi and Ye Mingkong agreed without hesitation.
………….
“Oh, you’re back. Why are you back a bit late today?” Jiang Youwei’s wife, Chen Yulan, greeted them with a smile.
But when she reached the door, she was stunned, because Ji Yunqi and Ye Mingkong were standing at the door, each holding a pile of groceries.
The two looked at each other, seeing the playful expression in each other’s eyes, and then looked at Chen Yulan again, saying in unison, “Teacher’s wife, the teacher called us over for a meal.”
“Ah? For a meal?”
Chen Yulan’s CPU seemed to have burned out. She couldn’t react for a moment.
Usually, Jiang Youwei rarely brought people home, and even when he did, they were acquaintances, not students like the two in front of her.
Just then, Jiang Beiyun noticed the situation at the door and came to take a look: “Hey, Yunqi, and Ye Mingkong, why are you here?”
Ji Yunqi looked at Jiang Beiyun, feeling a little helpless. This kid seemed to have some intentions towards her, which was really bad news. But looking at him, he seemed to have given up.
“Teacher Jiang called us over for a meal.”
“For a meal?” Jiang Beiyun could understand. His dad always told him to take care of Ji Yunqi, so it was understandable to invite her home for a meal.
However, what was the situation with Ye Mingkong next to her?
Why did he come?
“Then hurry up and come in.” Chen Yulan realized what was happening and immediately welcomed the two at the door into the house.
They were her husband’s students, so they were like her juniors, and she naturally had to take good care of them.
Ji Yunqi and Ye Mingkong were not hesitant. After putting the groceries in their hands into the kitchen, they sat on the sofa and chatted with Chen Yulan.
“You must be Ji Yunqi, right? Your teacher often mentions how outstanding you are. You really are a good child today,” Chen Yulan said to Ji Yunqi.
Ji Yunqi thought it was a bit exaggerated. Was Old Jiang so exaggerated?
However, this was indeed something he would say. This person just loved to exaggerate. Of course, it would have been better if he hadn’t submitted her name to be a host.
She was very busy right now, already thinking about how to arrange her son’s wedding and how to explain things to her father-in-law and mother-in-law.
Now she had to deal with these troublesome matters at school. It seemed like one thing after another, never-ending.
“The teacher exaggerated a bit.” Ji Yunqi smiled awkwardly, really unable to agree.
After a brief chat, Jiang Youwei also finished some small matters and returned home.
“Oh, you’re all here waiting. Don’t worry, I’ll start cooking now.”
…………
Jiang Youwei went into the kitchen, and Chen Yulan also went to help. The living room was left with only Ji Yunqi, Ye Mingkong, and Jiang Beiyun.
The atmosphere was a bit awkward…
“Um…” Jiang Beiyun summoned the courage to ask about the relationship between Ji Yunqi and Ye Mingkong, but at the same time, he was a bit hesitant.
He didn’t want to accept the truth, even though he had already guessed it…
“What is it?” Ji Yunqi asked.
When Ji Yunqi asked, Jiang Beiyun lost the courage to ask and had to end the conversation perfunctorily.
“It’s nothing, nothing. I wanted to ask, do you want something to drink? I’ll go buy it for you.”
“No…”
“Okay then, thank you. Please buy us a bottle of soy milk.” Before Ji Yunqi could speak, Ye Mingkong had already taken the lead.
Jiang Beiyun was in a difficult position now. Since he had already said it, what could he do? He could only brace himself and buy it.
Even though he was extremely unwilling…
“Okay, you guys wait here. I’ll be right back.”
“Okay.”
After watching Jiang Beiyun leave the house, Ye Mingkong sighed slightly. He knew what this kid was thinking.
It seemed like he had to find an opportunity to tell them. After all, their identities had to be made clear to communicate better with this family, right?
Before long, a table full of delicious dishes was served. The five of them sat down at the dining table.
There were no hidden meanings in the meal. Jiang Youwei did not directly ask about the relationship between Ji Yunqi and Ye Mingkong, but observed their actions.
Whether a person truly loves another can be seen from their actions. What is said by mouth is often difficult to decipher. Only actions are like this.
Jiang Youwei also noticed Ye Mingkong frequently picking up food for Ji Yunqi, and the tenderness in his eyes was undeniable.
This made Jiang Youwei’s heart relax.
When he picked up the wine glass, his peripheral vision suddenly saw Ji Yunqi resting her chin on her left hand and raising the paper cup of soy milk in her right hand, making a cross-cupping gesture towards him.
This familiar demeanor, this familiar action, even the micro-expressions were exactly the same…
The scene in front of him immediately evoked memories deep within Jiang Youwei’s heart.
Once, his close friend had also acted like this. They always sneaked out to drink without their wives knowing. The happiness of two men could only be understood by each other.
What wonderful memories those were, but with that damn accident, everything had vanished, which made him very heartbroken.
“Old Jiang, I’ll toast you.” Ji Yunqi spoke slowly.
Hearing these familiar words, Jiang Youwei’s consciousness became momentarily blurred, unable to distinguish between reality and illusion.
“Eh, okay, okay.” Jiang Youwei drank a whole glass of baijiu in a daze.
He didn’t care anymore whether it was reality or illusion. It didn’t matter. Being able to see the shadow of his close friend was enough. He didn’t want to bother with anything else.
Although he was a bit muddled, he had not lost his reason. He knew very well that the person in front of him was a young girl, and also his student, not his close friend.
Perhaps all of this was his hallucination…
…………
After the meal, Jiang Youwei was almost in tears. It was rare for him to have such emotional fluctuations.
Before leaving, Ji Yunqi glanced back at Jiang Youwei and said slowly.
“Old Jiang, you’re getting old, so you should take care of your body too, and don’t let your old friends worry.”
After saying this, Ji Yunqi did not linger and left directly with Ye Mingkong.
Jiang Youwei, who heard these words, was completely stunned in place. Because just a few months ago, when he and his close friend went out for drinks, he was indeed getting old.
He couldn’t drink as much as he did when he was young. Because of this, his close friend had said these words to him.
He originally meant to tell him to take care of his body, but he didn’t expect to remember it until now.
Jiang Youwei looked at Ji Yunqi’s departing back and fell into deep thought…
He now understood the meaning of Ji Yunqi’s words. Combined with the girl’s attitude towards him recently and her behavior at the dining table just now.
And then those words, all of them were hints…
It could be said that Ji Yunqi was just short of spelling it out, but even so, Jiang Youwei only realized it at this last moment.
“So that’s how it is, so that’s how it is! Hahahahaha!!!”
His wild laughter drew the attention of Jiang Beiyun and Chen Yulan, who didn’t understand why he was acting crazy.
“I know, I know everything, thank you, old friend!”
……….
“Husband, do you think he can understand what we mean by doing this?” Ye Mingkong asked uncertainly. Honestly, he couldn’t quite understand his husband’s actions.
Could a few simple actions and words make one person connect another unrelated person?
Ye Mingkong had never seen such an example, so he couldn’t believe it.
To his wife’s doubts, Ji Yunqi patted her chest, which had developed quite a bit, and said confidently, “Don’t worry, this is the understanding between men!”
“Besides, how many years have we known each other? He will definitely understand my meaning.”
“Oh, so confident?” Ye Mingkong became curious seeing his husband so confident. He didn’t know if Jiang Youwei could recognize him or not.
“Don’t worry, it’s guaranteed. But now there’s one more thing, it’s too annoying,” Ji Yunqi sighed.
Ye Mingkong was slightly stunned, then thought of something: “Are you talking about the host job Old Jiang arranged for you?”
It was better not to mention it. As soon as Ye Mingkong mentioned it, Ji Yunqi was filled with anger: “Don’t talk about it! Damn it, I’m so busy every day, and he wants to give me more work!”
“I ￥%%……&%**%￥￥”
Ye Mingkong just listened silently, sighing from time to time, but he didn’t say anything bad about Jiang Youwei.
Jiang Youwei was after all a close friend of Ji Yunqi. He was just an appendage. Ji Yunqi could say that about Jiang Youwei, but he couldn’t.
Just as Ji Yunqi finished cursing, they heard footsteps. Turning around, they saw Jiang Youwei with a somewhat awkward expression.
“Um… didn’t you say that this time we’ll let it go?”
As soon as Jiang Youwei finished speaking, Ji Yunqi’s chilling gaze shot over.
It made him tremble with fear.
“How dare you mention that!”
Ji Yunqi didn’t care that they were inside the residential area. She walked forward, grabbed his collar, and pulled it down. After all, her height was a problem, so she couldn’t pull it up.
“Now you know who I am, right?”
“Mmm, mmm, mmm, I know, I know.” Jiang Youwei nodded quickly, but secretly complained in his heart that her temper was really bad now.
“Now you know how much I have to do?”
“I know, I know.”
Seeing that Jiang Youwei was so sensible and didn’t contradict her at all, Ji Yunqi finally felt relieved.
Then Jiang Youwei’s gaze fell on Ye Mingkong. With his understanding of his close friend, even if he had turned into a girl, he shouldn’t have gotten together with a man so quickly.
Then this brat in front of him…
“Ye Mingkong, this… what’s going on?” Jiang Youwei asked. He didn’t want Ji Yunqi to say, “He’s my boyfriend.”
If that were the case…
“Oh, you mean him? Do you want to guess?” Ji Yunqi suddenly acted mischievous.
Jiang Youwei was somewhat at a loss. If he guessed correctly… given Ji Yunqi’s current personality, she probably wouldn’t be very happy, and he would be scolded again.
The key was if he accidentally guessed wrong…
Forget it, might as well try. It doesn’t matter.
“Friends, perhaps.” Jiang Youwei tentatively asked.
Ji Yunqi shook her head, then wrapped her arms around Ye Mingkong’s arms with a smile.
“He’s my boyfriend~”
“Ah?!!!”
Jiang Youwei was instantly petrified, frozen in place, his brain stopped thinking.
You mean, his close friend, a greasy middle-aged man in his fifties, found a boyfriend?
And this boyfriend is a young stud?
Thinking of this, Jiang Youwei’s face showed a look of disgust. He never expected that this old friend had such a preference.
He was originally worried that Ji Yunqi would be deceived by a scumbag, but now that he knew Ji Yunqi had this preference…
“Yuck~~~”
…..
