The previous second, Chu Yi interpreted that it was such a coincidence to see Xu Zhiming. The next second, he remembered that Qin Yiheng said that Xu Zhiming was there at the dinner that night.

So it’s not really a coincidence.

Xu Zhiming pressed on his suit jacket with one hand, slightly bent down, and stretched out his right hand while smiling at Qin Yiheng.

Qin Yiheng only shook Xu Zhiming’s hand slightly, and then immediately let go, “Hello.”

Xu Zhiming nodded respectfully to Qin Yiheng and then turned to look at the man standing on his side.

“Chu Yi?” Xu Zhiming was surprised, “Why are you also here?”

Xu Zhiming glanced at Chu Yi a few times, and then at Qin Yiheng a few times.

Chu Yi smiled at Xu Zhiming and said politely, “Xuezhang.”

As soon as Chu Yi finished speaking, his arm was pulled, and then his waist was held.

Xu Zhiming seemed to want to ask something else, but the professor behind him also came over.

Only then did Chu Yi notice that Professor Zhang from his department was also among the teachers.

“Chu Yi?” Professor Zhang was surprised to see his student, “Why are you here?”

Professor Zhang walked forward with a smile. Chu Yi politely hurried over. They shook their right hands. Chu Yi smiled and said, “Hello Professor Zhang. It’s been a long time. “

Professor Zhang patted Chu Yi on the shoulder, “That’s right, I haven’t seen you for a long time.” Professor Zhang looked at Qin Yiheng, who was behind Chu Yi, and wondered, “Are you working at President Qin’s company now?”

Chu Yi shook his head, “No.”

“Chu Yi is my husband.” President Qin suddenly came over, smiled politely at Professor Zhang, added on to Chu Yi’s words, and glanced at Xu Zhiming standing aside.

When his voice fell, Professor Zhang was stunned, Xu Zhiming was stunned, and the group of teachers behind him were also stunned.

“Husband?” Xu Zhiming was the first one to walk over. He stood next to Professor Zhang, with a shocked expression, he asked Chu Yi, “The one you married was him?”

Chu Yi nodded, “Mn.”

After Chu Yi answered, Qin Yiheng put his hand on Chu Yi’s waist again, as if declaring property rights.

The bunch of teachers were silent for a few seconds, and suddenly became lively together.

“Excellent, excellent, President Qin is a talented person, and Chu Yi is also a very good student. You guys are a perfect match.”

“Yes, hahaha, Congratulations, President Qin. Us teachers were still worried about your marriage when we met last month.”

“Very nice, very nice. Hey, you’re both from our school, right? You two are quite fateful.”

“Yeah, from our school. They’re students of Professor Zhang and Professor Sun.”

“Hahaha, is that so, congratulations, congratulations to President Qin and Chu Yi.”

“Chu Yi is your student, right? Professor Zhang? And President Qin is Professor Sun’s student. You two sure are lucky.”

……

Professor Zhang and the other teachers laughed for a bit, then turned his head cheerfully and patted Chu Yi on the shoulder, “Congratulations, did you guys just get married?”

Chu Yi nodded, “Yes, it’s been less than a month.”

Professor Zhang nodded and was very glad. “Congrats, congrats.”

Chu Yi, “Thank you, Professor.”

The group of people walked into the office building together. On Chu Yi’s left was Qin Yiheng and on his right was Professor Zhang.

As if hearing the news of his child’s marriage, it could be visibly seen that Professor Zhang was very happy.

Professor Zhang, “The wedding hasn’t been held yet, right?”

Chu Yi shook his head, “Not yet.”

Professor Zhang, “When do you plan to hold it?”

Chu Yi, “Next year, probably. When he’s free, we’ll take out some time to hold it.”

Professor Zhang nodded, “Right, President Qin is indeed busy.” He smiled, “When did you meet? Did you already know each other at school? Before, I’ve only heard Professor Sun mentioning President Qin’s name from time to time. How did you get together?”

Ahahaha.

Why does everyone who knows they got married have to ask him how he and Qin Yiheng got to know each other.

It’s really, truly, hard to say.

Chu Yi laughed, “I just met him this year. We felt that we got along well, so we talked about getting married.”

“Not bad, not bad, you guys are at that age.” Professor Zhang did not look into it carefully and happily patted Chu Yi on the arm, “I really didn’t know you would come today, you didn’t even call to tell me in advance.”

Chu Yi shrugged and tilted his head in the direction of Qin Yiheng, “He only asked me this morning. I thought that since there was nothing to do this afternoon and that it’s been a while since I’ve come back, I decided to follow him here.”

Professor Zhang smiled, “You guys have a very good relationship.”

Chu Yi nodded, “That’s right, we’re newlyweds.”

Not only were Professor Zhang and Chu Yi chatting, there was chatter among other teachers. Qin Yiheng was also talking with another teacher.

As Qin Yiheng chatted, he also paid attention to Chu Yi.

When he heard Chu Yi say they were getting along well, he smiled.

When he heard Chu Yi admit that they have a good relationship, he smiled.

When he heard Chu Yi say they were newlyweds, he smiled again.

Neither Xu Jing nor Zhou Xiao came today, but because Chu Yi was here, the atmosphere seemed a little more comfortable. It seemed to be even more natural than last time.

As they chatted, they arrived at the entrance of the office building.

The door wasn’t big. Only three or four people can pass at a time. With so many people, they obviously cannot squeeze in together.

Several teachers naturally and wisely stepped back and wanted the principal and Qin Yiheng to enter first. Professor Zhang also stepped back when he saw this.

After Professor Zhang stepped back, Chu Yi noticed that Xu Zhiming was the one standing next to Professor Zhang.

As a result, Xu Zhiming was naturally pushed to his side.

When Chu Yi turned around, he just happened to meet Xu Zhiming’s gaze.

He smiled at Xu Zhiming.

Although they only met yesterday, they both felt like they had not seen each other for a long time, it was unfamiliar and awkward.

Mainly awkward.

Xu Zhiming didn’t have a very good expression. He was probably the only one in this group who couldn’t laugh.

He watched everyone lively discussing Qin Yiheng and Chu Yi and couldn’t say a word, but thinking about his identity, he could only force out a smile on his lips.

After several people went in, Professor Zheng, who was behind Xu Zhiming, had not spoken for a long time. When he saw Xu Zhiming and Chu Yi standing together, he suddenly patted Xu Zhiming on the shoulder, as if he remembered something, “Zhiming, I remembered that you have a good relationship with Chu Yi. You didn’t only just find out that your junior was married today, right?”

Xu Zhiming shook his head, “No.”

Professor Zheng said, “Aiya, you’re so unreliable. Why didn’t you tell us in advance?”

Professor Zhang walked over with a smile, “Isn’t it to give us a surprise? Such a big surprise.”

Professor Zheng nodded in agreement, “It is quite a surprise, yes.”

Xu Zhiming laughed dryly.

Professor Zheng said again, “Hey, the last time we had dinner, didn’t Zhiming talk with us about Chu Yi?” It seemed that he wanted to join the chat, but he didn’t know what to talk about, so he remembered this and quickly brought it up, “What did you say again?” Then he even pulled in the person next to him, “Professor Zhang, do you remember?”

Of course Professor Zhang remembered what he said. He talked about Chu Yi and Xu Zhiming’s past, what else could it be?

Professor Zhang gritted his teeth, had Professor Zheng, don’t bring me into this written all over his face. He said with a smile, “What do I remember? I don’t think we talked about it?”

Professor Zheng disagreed, “We did, we definitely did. I heard it that time, you guys were talking about Chu Yi this and Chu Yi that over there.”

Professor Zhang continued to clarify, “It wasn’t Chu Yi, it was someone else.”

Professor Zheng was certain, “It was definitely Chu Yi! This name is so special, how could I remember it wrong?”

Professor Zhang continued to deny, “You remembered wrong.”

Being denied by Professor Zhang continuously, Professor Zheng also suspected whether he had remembered wrong. When he saw that no one continued this topic, he simply didn’t talk about it again and took a few steps back in silence.

Not only did Professor Zheng step back, but Chu Yi also stepped back.

It was only yesterday that he discussed loyalty with Qin Yiheng. Now that the person who Qin Yiheng cares about was standing next to him, in any case, he should try to avoid suspicion, right?

However, he couldn’t really retreat much, because Qin Yiheng was surrounded by people, which made it difficult for him to move.

After hesitating, Xu Zhiming spoke to him.

“Congratulations.” Xu Zhiming even approached him a little, “You left in a hurry yesterday. I haven’t had time to ask, so it turns out that you married President Qin.”

Chu Yi nodded, “Yeah, thank you.”

Xu Zhiming, “Newlyweds?”

Chu Yi, “Yes.”

Xu Zhiming’s voice suddenly became a little softer, “I’m sorry for what happened before.”

Chu Yi didn’t understand, “Sorry for what?”

Xu Zhiming said, “For no contact.”

Chu Yi didn’t care, “It’s all right,” He asked casually, “Is your family all right?”

Xu Zhiming, “Yeah.”

Chu Yi nodded, “That’s good.”

Xu Zhiming actually had a lot to ask, he opened his mouth for a long time, but could only sigh silently.

How could he not feel the distance between his relationship with Chu Yi now?

Xu Zhiming thought for a while and finally said, “Congratulations.”

Chu Yi also said again, “Thank you.”

The interaction between the two here was caught by the corner of Qin Yiheng’s eyes.

Unlike when Professor Zhang chatted with Chu Yi, Chu Yi and Xu Zhiming chatted so quietly that he hardly heard a word.

They chatted a lot.

And chatted for a long time.

Didn’t they just meet yesterday?

Why is there still so much to chat about today?

He watched them as he walked, and the distance between Qin Yiheng and Chu Yi got farther and farther apart. When it was about to exceed half a meter, Qin Yiheng wanted to reach out and pull Chu Yi over, but unexpectedly, a man suddenly inserted himself between them.

“I remember now.” Professor Zheng, who found a sense of existence, suddenly stood between the two. He patted Professor Zhang in front of him and then patted Chu Yi next to him, “I remember what you guys talked about that night.”

Professor Zhang performed a petrification on the spot, he turned sideways and winked at Professor Zheng.

Of course, everyone already knew what it was, so no one followed up on Professor Zheng’s words.

But Professor Zheng really wanted to perform, he thought that if others won’t say it, he will do it himself.

Professor Zheng laughed, “Wasn’t Zhiming and Chu Yi’s matter during university what you guys talked about that night? Professor Zhang, you even said Zhiming often came to your department to find Chu Yi, weren’t you the one who said that?”

Professor Zhang was reluctant to admit it, “Hahaha, that seems to be the case. They’re friends after all, isn’t it quite normal to find Zhiming to play ball or something.”

Professor Zheng also laughed, “Right? You also remember now, right?” He continued, “What else did you say?”

Professor Zhang grabbed Professor Zheng and pulled him away, “There was nothing else.”

As soon as Professor Zheng left, space appeared between Chu Yi and Qin Yiheng.

Chu Yi wisely walked to Qin Yiheng’s side, while Xu Zhiming also wisely mixed into the group of teachers on the other side.

Only now did Qin Yiheng retract the attention he had kept on Chu Yi.

After Chu Yi finished chatting with Xu Zhiming, he also heard what Professor Zhang and Professor Zheng said just now. So, at this moment, he was thinking seriously about the degree of what was mentioned.

He didn’t think for long before he felt relieved.

It’s probably nothing, probably just chatting about this and that, things of no importance.

And Professor Zhang also said that they didn’t say anything about them that night.

Chu Yi turned to look at Qin Yiheng, and he was relieved to see that Qin Yiheng didn’t have any unnecessary expressions.

He even felt that he didn’t need to overthink so much.

Qin Yiheng asked to talk to him about loyalty yesterday because of a misunderstanding.

Now that there was no misunderstanding, Qin Yiheng probably wouldn’t mind.
