Fu Xiuyan left in a hurry because of Xia Yang.

He and Xia Yang made an appointment to have lunch together at Wangjiang Pavilion.

Fu Xiuyan asked the driver to pick him up from school first and take him to Wangjiang Pavilion. He went there directly from the company.

But he was already halfway there, and Xiao Wang still hadn't met Xia Yang.

"What's going on?" Fu Xiuyan frowned.

"I don't know. I'm waiting here as you instructed, but Master Xia hasn't come yet. Do you want me to go look for him?"

Fu Xiuyan tapped his fingertips lightly, thinking that something had delayed him. Thinking of the man he met at Wangjiang Pavilion last night, Fu Xiuyan frowned and said, "No need. You go back. I'll go pick him up."

He stepped lightly on the accelerator. He had been careless. Yesterday, he had seen Xia Yang handle things very decisively. And the other party also knew Xia Yang's background.

So if this person had a little bit of common sense, he would never cause any trouble to Xia Yang again.

So he didn't intervene. Xia Yang didn't need to rely on his dodder for everything.

He has his own strength. He doesn't need to interfere with things he can handle on his own.

But… what if the person I buy has no brains? Listening to him yesterday, he really does seem like a brainless person.

Will he do anything out of the ordinary today?

The more Fu Xiuyan thought about it, the more frightened he became. He had lost all rationality now.

As soon as a speculative thought came to mind, it became uncontrollable.

I called Xia Yang, but no one answered.

Fu Xiuyan accelerated his car. Just as he entered the school gate, Xia Yang called back.

"Hey, I just got my phone. Are you here already?"

Fu Xiuyan felt relieved when he heard that there was nothing unusual in his words.

"We're almost downstairs."

"Ah? You're here? Didn't you ask Xiao Wang to come? Wait for me, right away."

"Don't be in a hurry, take your time."

Neither of them hung up the phone, and neither of them spoke again.

Fu Xiuyan listened to the rustling sounds coming from Xia Yang's side.

Soon it turned into the sound of footsteps coming down the stairs.

Then a female voice came from the receiver, which was not very clear: "Which cafeteria is Professor Xia going to eat in?"

Then Xia Yang's voice came: "I'm going out to eat. Professor Zhao can go to the cafeteria, there are more dishes there."

Fu Xiuyan's grip on the steering wheel suddenly tightened.

Xia Yang is quite nice to Professor Zhao.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have given her restaurant recommendations.

"Okay. Let's eat together some other time if we have the chance. I was thinking of discussing the problems we encountered this morning with you over dinner."

"Sorry, I have an appointment today. Let's do it next time."

It was Xia Yang's voice. Although it was a polite refusal, Fu Xiuyan's face remained gloomy.

He arrived a minute earlier than Xia Yang, so he happened to see a lady coming out at the same time as Xia Yang.

He was a head shorter than Xia Yang, also very thin, with skin that had the paleness of someone who hadn't seen the sun all day. He wore a pair of glasses that were almost identical to Xia Yang's.

She has a very standard look, and at first glance you can tell she is a talented woman.

The two waved goodbye from two meters away from his car.

Fu Xiuyan's fists clenched and unclenched, and then clenched and unclenched again.

"Why did you come here suddenly?" Xia Yang came in and didn't notice Fu Xiuyan's depressed mood.

"Yeah. Xiao Wang said he couldn't wait for you." Fu Xiuyan acted as if nothing had happened. He still smiled very gently.

"Huh?" Xia Yang glanced at the time: "Sorry. I was so engrossed in chatting with Professor Zhao that I forgot the time."

Fu Xiuyan's eyes darkened: "Professor Zhao?"

"The one who replaced Luo Sheng is the one from Wangjiang Pavilion yesterday. He just came here today."

"Oh."

Xia Yang seemed to be in high spirits.

"I've seen several of Professor Zhao's presentations before, and they were excellent. I didn't expect to meet her today and work with her. She's even more passionate about research than I thought. It's as if she doesn't care about anything else. I'll never be able to match her passion for physics."

Xia Yang's words were full of admiration.

"is it?"

"Yes. And she has very unique insights. We had a very pleasant conversation this morning. By the way, she came out with me. Did you see that just now?"

"No." Fu Xiuyan's voice was already cold beyond his control. "I was worried you were hungry, so I just wanted to pick you up and have dinner quickly. I didn't have the energy to look at other irrelevant people."

Xia Yang looked at Fu Xiuyan suspiciously.

This wasn't something the well-educated Fu Xiuyan would say. What was wrong with him?

Xia Yang didn't understand, but he sought benefits and avoided harm.

If you can't find the reason, then shut up.

When they arrived at Wangjiang Pavilion, Xia Yang enjoyed his meal very happily.

The happier he was, the more depressed Fu Xiuyan became.

I feel like I have indigestion in the food I ate.

Fu Xiuyan finally couldn't help it: "That Professor Zhao. Is she single?"

Xia Yang looked at him mischievously. This man was quite patient. He thought Fu Xiuyan would keep asking questions before dinner.

Unexpectedly, he only spoke after he was full.

I don’t know if this meal will be tasteless for him.

"I don't know. Do you care? I'll ask for you this afternoon."

"Don't ask. I don't care."

"I don't care, you ask me?"

"You admire her?"

"Don't you admire and respect a woman like this?"

Fu Xiuyan remained silent.

"What is Mr. Fu thinking?"

Fu Xiuyan took a deep breath: "Xia Xia, I am seven years older than you."

"I know. Your information is listed on Baidu Encyclopedia."

"You're still very young. I'm older than you, and I'm a man. You're young now, so you might not quite understand what this means. If, and I mean if, you regret it later and want to have a normal..."

"What is normal? Are you saying that you and I are abnormal? Ha! Fu Xiuyan, you are really good. Is this how you, a highly educated person, perceive me? Is this how you perceive me, Xia Yang?"

Xia Yang looked at Fu Xiuyan with a frosty expression.

It was a side of Xia Yang that he had never seen before.

"No, Xia Xia."

"Nothing? I have ears and can hear every word you say."

"Xia Xia, I'm afraid. I'm afraid you're just being spur-of-the-moment with me. I'm afraid you look mature and steady now, but in two years you'll despise me for being too old and inexperienced. I'm afraid that in ten years, when you see others with children, you'll blame me for ruining your life... Xia Xia, I never knew I could be so self-conscious and cowardly. So cowardly that I'd panic at the slightest sign of trouble."

Xia Yang insisted on looking into Fu Xiuyan's eyes. "What if I'm just attracted to you for a while? It's just a short time that we'll be together forever? What would you do? Why not just start it?"

Fu Xiuyan seemed to wake up and shook his head firmly: "No. Why not start? I will always keep you."

Xia Yang smiled with satisfaction, picked up the phone and made a call: "I feel a little unwell, so I'll take half a day off this afternoon. I've arranged the afternoon schedule in advance, so it shouldn't be delayed."
