Three years had passed, and that experience had not faded but instead become clearer.
Sitting there was really hard to bear. His aura was too strong; just being there without a word was intense enough to make her extremely uncomfortable.
She was about to find an excuse to go back to her room when he suddenly spoke again: "What year are you in?"
Cheng Buxi jolted: "Junior."
"Where do you plan to intern in the second half of the year?"
"Huace..."
He nodded, as if pondering something. His face was extremely handsome and pleasing to the eye: "I'm familiar with the Huace person in charge. I'll arrange something easier for you."
Such a model older brother, but the one who said all those heartless words back then was also him. Cheng Buxi couldn't help but grip the book in her hand tightly.
After a brief silence, "Seen Shen Xiushi?" he asked again.
Cheng Buxi was slightly startled and answered honestly: "Yes, Brother Shen is now a lecturer for our general course. The school specially recruited him from S University to teach us economics."
Speaking of which, Lu Tingzhou had also graduated from S University, as an honorary alumnus. It would be false to say she wasn't envious. Cheng Buxi's academic performance was poor, you could say terrible. She had been weak in subjects since childhood, only barely above average in math, and terrible in liberal arts. Getting into the University of Finance was by the skin of her teeth.
Back then, Lu Tingzhou had even considered sending her abroad. But in the end, he couldn't bear to; he said that teaching should be without discrimination, and if he couldn't teach her, it was his own lack of ability, not her fault.
Later, she did exceptionally well in the college entrance exam, getting into a 211 university. Mrs. Lu was overjoyed and praised her intelligence to everyone. Lu Tingzhou, as her big brother, also breathed a sigh of relief. Good, no need to go abroad.
But...
"Brother Shen?" The man keenly caught this word, raising his eyebrows deeply, his narrow, deep-set eyes falling on her obedient, beautiful profile. For a long moment, he said nothing. The atmosphere became awkward again.
Cheng Buxi was so nervous she almost bit her tongue, quickly correcting herself: "Prof, Professor Shen."
Only then did the atmosphere ease.

01
As everyone knows, the Qiao and Liang families of North City are a political marriage. The marriage between the Qiao family's youngest daughter and the Liang family's eldest son is in name only.
Qiao Ci's task is to help the Liang family produce their first grandson as soon as possible, so that the elderly Mr. Liang can see his great-grandson before he dies.
Although she has no feelings for her husband, for the sake of repaying a debt of gratitude, she must complete the task.
On their wedding night.
Liang Qinian looked at the delicate, voluptuous little wife kneeling before him. She was neither too skinny nor too plump, with a dazzling beauty. Although he felt nothing special, he wasn't repulsed either: "What are you doing?"
Her voice was as sweet as a nightingale's, and her gaze was firm: "Having a baby."
"Other than wanting to have a baby with me, is there nothing else?"
"Yes, there is."
"Raising the baby."
"..."
02
The Liang family's eldest son, Liang Qinian, was as elegant as jade, wealthy and honorable, and maintained his own integrity. He was measured and particular about marriage matters.
After being rejected for a week, Qiao Ci deliberately changed into a thin lace nightgown. On the bed, still in the same kneeling posture.
Liang Qinian sneered: "Is there anything else in your mind besides having a baby?"
She bit her pink lips: "Hurry up and have a baby."
"Do you know how to have a baby?"
Her face blushed deeply, and she whispered, "I know..."
Then she slowly took off her pantyhose.
But the man directly ignored her and went to the side room.
03
After being rejected for an entire month, Qiao Ci fell ill with a fever. In the night, she babbled incoherently, hugging Liang Qinian's strong and solid chest, murmuring: "Mumu..."
"Mumu, who is Mumu?"
On the day she recovered, the man asked: "Xiao Ci, do you like me?"
The pancake in her hand fell to the ground: "Yes, yes, I do."
"Liar."
His little wife was extremely nervous.
04
Qiao Ci knew she couldn't complete the task. To help the old man fulfill his wish soon, she decided to back out and reconcile with the person she had loved in her youth.
That night, still in the same kneeling position as before, she said to him: "I, I know you don't like me. I'll explain to Grandpa. We can, we can get a divorce..."
"I won't bother you."
"Saying this now, isn't it too late?"
"No, no, it's not too late."
"Don't you want to have a baby?"
"..."
The man turned off the light: "Then let's have it."
