Chapter 35 -35: Liking It Even More Than the Last Lifetime

“Eh!” Suddenly, a chorus of teasing broke out.

Xie Yanchuan looked up and caught sight of those nosy students, his face showing a flash of embarrassment for a moment.

Xu Jinzhi turned around and glared at them, “Eh what? Shouldn’t you be hurrying to find your boyfriends or girlfriends for dinner, or do you not want to?”

It just so happened to be a recent hot meme online, and the crowd couldn’t help but laugh. Fortunately, everyone had a sense of proportion and didn’t go on incessantly, gradually dispersing.

Only Xie Yanchuan and Xu Jinzhi were left in the classroom.

“What would you like to eat?” Xie Yanchuan asked.

Xu Jinzhi shrugged indifferently, “Anything is fine.”

The point wasn’t what she wanted to eat, but whom she wanted to eat with.

However, Xu Jinzhi found it quite difficult for Xie Yanchuan, who was never good at making decisions. It took him a while to suggest, “There’s a Cantonese restaurant nearby that’s quite decent, want to give it a try?”

“Sure, why not.” Xu Jinzhi agreed without hesitation.

“Then let me drop by the office first, and then we can head there,” said Xie Yanchuan.

Xu Jinzhi had no objections and accompanied Xie Yanchuan toward the office. They had just reached the floor where Xie Yanchuan’s office was, still a distance away, when they saw people waiting outside his office.

Even if she was not from this field, Xu Jinzhi recognized the Dean of the college, not to mention Xie Yanchuan, who was his teacher.

Xie Yanchuan was somewhat surprised, then unconsciously quickened his pace, “Professor.”

Dean Zhao turned his head upon hearing the voice and saw Xie Yanchuan approaching quickly, giving him a slight smile and also glancing at Xu Jinzhi by his side.

“Good day, Dean,” greeted Xu Jinzhi politely.

Dean Zhao was still smiling, although he had already heard about their relationship, he was somewhat surprised to see Xu Jinzhi in person.

After all, Xu Jinzhi was quite a well-known figure, and even if Dean Zhao wasn’t familiar with her, he had heard of her.

He had always been aware that Xie Yanchuan was the second son of the Xie family, but since the family already had an heir in Xie Linchuan, no one paid much attention to Xie Yanchuan, the younger brother.

It was previously inconceivable to link these two together, yet now they were engaged and even planning to marry at the end of the year, which was somewhat surprising to Dean Zhao.

But Dean Zhao was different from others, knowing Xie Yanchuan was a student he had personally mentored, he was aware of how excellent Xie Yanchuan was and that he was definitely worthy of Xu Jinzhi.

As long as he persisted in the industry, he would surely have a place in the future pharmaceutical field!

“Professor, is there something you needed?” Xie Yanchuan asked.

Dean Zhao gave a benign smile, paused for a moment, then said, “I mainly wanted to talk to you about the funding for the experiment.”

It was unclear whether it was because Xu Jinzhi was present or the matter was difficult for Dean Zhao, but he said, “I’ll keep it short. The funding allocation won’t be generous for your group.”

“But tell them not to worry about the funding, I will find other means.”

Xie Yanchuan frowned slightly, “Professor, I can…”

“No need to bother yourself, just focus on your experiment. I’ll handle the rest,” Dean Zhao, knowing what Xie Yanchuan was about to say, interrupted him before he could continue.

Dean Zhao then patted Xie Yanchuan on the shoulder, “I won’t disturb you anymore.”

He then turned toward Xu Jinzhi, smiling faintly at her before walking away.

Xie Yanchuan watched the Dean’s retreating figure, his brow still furrowed.

Xu Jinzhi looked at the departing figure of Dean Zhao and then at Xie Yanchuan beside her. Even though the conversation was fragmented, she understood.

“What’s wrong? Is the experiment funding not coming through?” Xu Jinzhi asked.

Xie Yanchuan turned to look at Xu Jinzhi, feeling somewhat embarrassed, but eventually spoke truthfully.

“Yes, aside from a few minor experimental results last year, there were no significant advancements, so this year’s funding won’t favor us,” Xie Yanchuan said, his eyes downcast, appearing somewhat dejected.

It was just dejection, and not because of the funding issues—after all, it’s always been this way with funding; they couldn’t expect much if there were no significant results.

Xie Yanchuan’s dejection stemmed from the thought of all the effort they’d put in coming to naught.

And for the families that were still waiting for life-saving medications.

Since they’d come this far, Xie Yanchuan still had some things he wanted to share with Xu Jinzhi.

But out of pride, he found it hard to speak.

“Why do you keep looking at me?” Xu Jinzhi asked with some curiosity when she noticed Xie Yanchuan still staring at her.

Eventually, Xie Yanchuan spoke, “If the funding doesn’t come through, I’m planning on using my own money.”

Xu Jinzhi blinked, instantly grasping what Xie Yanchuan meant, and her face broke into an involuntary smile, “Why are you telling me this?”

Xie Yanchuan was silent for two seconds, “We’re getting married.”

“Yesterday, I said I would sort out my assets when I got the chance. Originally, all of it was meant for you, but…”

Xie Yanchuan blinked, his cheeks reddening a bit, “But now I might not be able to give it all to you.”

“You’re so adorable!” Xu Jinzhi couldn’t handle it!

She didn’t care about Xie Yanchuan’s assets, but she was always moved by his willingness to give her everything he had!

There was nobody else in the corridor at the moment. Xu Jinzhi tiptoed, hooked her arms around Xie Yanchuan’s neck, and kissed him, knowing he would feel embarrassed, she quickly pulled away.

But Xu Jinzhi didn’t let go. She leaned close to Xie Yanchuan’s ear and whispered, “I’m really falling for you more and more.”

Even more than in her previous life.

The sudden confession left Xie Yanchuan flustered, forgetting what to do next.

It was Xu Jinzhi who reminded him, “It’s getting late, let’s pack up and go eat.”

“Okay!” Xie Yanchuan nodded vigorously, then turned and took a step forward, reaching his office door to fish out the keys and unlock it.

Anyone could tell how flustered Xie Yanchuan was while unlocking the door, and his cheeks flushed red where Xu Jinzhi couldn’t see.

Xu Jinzhi stood behind, her lips curled into a smile she could not hide.

After Xie Yanchuan placed the teaching plans back in the office and tidied up a bit, they left the school.
