    Chapter 25

    In the evening, it rained a little outside.

    Xu Zhiyi put the dishes into the dishwasher and closed the window.

    “Wow–” The fine raindrops coated the glass with a layer of fog, making it hazy and hard to see clearly.

    Turning around suddenly, he found Pei Qingyan carrying a blanket into the house.

    “What are you doing with the blanket?”

    Xu Zhiyi didn’t ask.Because as soon as she sat down at the desk, the woman put the blanket over her legs and patiently spread the edges.

    “The temperature has dropped, it might be cold.”

    Under the warm orange light, her usually cold silhouette was tainted with softness.

    Xu Zhiyi stared at her blankly, not even noticing that the signature pen in his hand fell.

    Not a good night for work, she thought.

    ——More suitable for love.

    Half an hour later, Xu Zhiyi hurried back to the bedroom and found her graduation thesis on the woman’s tablet, which she was still reading with gusto.

    “What’s so interesting about this.”

    She muttered under her breath and was about to turn it off.

    “I’m looking at the acknowledgment.” Pei Qingyan hid it behind his back and replied seriously, “I haven’t seen you for six years, and you actually mentioned me.”

    It’s also placed quite forward.

    “…I know too few people abroad, so I just put them up to make up the numbers.”

    Xu Zhiyi hurriedly grabbed the tablet and explained nonchalantly, although even she couldn’t convince herself.Out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of the faint smile on the woman’s lips, and she felt her cheeks begin to feel hot again.

    “Don’t look at it again.”

    After hastily saying something, she heard a rustling sound.The woman came close to her, gently hugged her waist, and breathed in her ears.

    “I don’t want to read it anymore. I just know that my wife still cares about me.”

    Even if you get a bargain, you still behave well.Xu Zhiyi struggled twice in embarrassment, but her body relaxed unconsciously and fell limply into the woman’s arms.

    As her thoughts were racing, she thought of the purpose of her mother’s sudden call.

    “I’m going back home this weekend.”

    “Well,” Pei Qingyan said without hesitation, “I’ll go with you.”

    “I’ll be fine by myself.”

    Xu Zhiyi insisted, “If you go, things may be more troublesome.”

    “I will only agree to the conditions you asked me to agree to, and I will not say a word more.” Pei Qingyan did not intend to compromise easily, and argued with reason, “I am the air standing behind you, not the President Pei they say.”

    “I’m afraid they don’t think so.”

    Xu Zhiyi sighed softly, amused by the word “air”, and poked the other person with his elbow, “Also, can you spare the time? Over there at the company…”

    “I will ask Xiao Li to free up his schedule now.”

    Pei Qingyan quickly arranged for the assistant without wasting a second, and then looked at her eagerly, like a big dog waiting for a reward.

    “Okay, let’s go back together.” Xu Zhiyi felt a little warm in his heart, and when he relaxed, he couldn’t help but touch her lips like a dragonfly.

    “Honey, that’s not enough.”

    The woman turned over and threw her onto the bed, lowered her head to cover her glowing red lips, and deepened the kiss with unabashed love forcefully and gently.

    “Well… Ayan, tomorrow is a working day.” Xu Zhiyi panted slightly, with a seductive color in his eyes that he couldn’t calm down in time.The nightgown had already fallen apart during the previous contact, barely covering her snow-white skin.

    Before she finished speaking, she heard the woman’s low laughter:

    “I know.”

    Pei Qingyan hugged her into his arms again and fastened the buttons with his fingertips, “I’m also willing to wait until the weekend.”

    There’s only one day left until the weekend.

    Sitting at his workstation, Xu Zhiyi would sometimes stare at the ring in a daze unconsciously, thinking about how he and Pei Qingyan got to this point again.

    A week ago, it was “not very familiar”.

    ——Maybe in less than a week, she completely fell.

    But she didn’t seem to have much resistance, everything was so calm and let nature take its course.

    After all, that was Pei Qingyan, Ayan who had been with her for more than ten years and always stood by her side.

    Xu Zhiyi would only make an exception for her.

    “Teacher Xu, it’s time to go to the meeting, do you want to come together?”

    Qian Hui held her notebook and water glass and knocked on the seat partition.

    “Well, I’ll come right away.” Xu Zhiyi stopped stroking the ring, picked up his things, and hurried to the conference room.

    There is only one conference room in the institute, which is usually used for group meetings of various research groups.

    When they arrived, there were only a few people scattered around, and there were scraps of peel and confetti on the ground.

    “Hey, sit in the back, I’ll call a student to come over and clean.”

    Qian Hui pulled her to sit in the sixth row.

    At monthly meetings, experienced researchers often take the stage to share their results and everyone learns together.Xu Zhiyi has only been in the job for a short period of time, so he just happened to be here this month.

    “We don’t have anything to do at the moment, just applaud after listening.”

    Qian Hui, like her, is still junior and does not have the opportunity to speak on stage.

    “Understood.” Xu Zhiyi spread out his notebook and got ready to record.But when I was taking out the pen cap, I lost my grip and fell to the ground.

    “Teacher Xu is always absent-minded lately.” Qian Hui teased her.

    Xu Zhiyi didn’t answer. When she bent down to pick up the pen cap, she accidentally caught a glimpse of an open book in the drawer, but she ignored it.

    Maybe some student left the novel behind, she thought.

    “Everyone, come up and get the materials.” Professor Zhang cleared his throat.

    Hearing this, Qian Hui stood up first and ran over, jumping up and down, “I’ll get you one too.”

    “Thank you.”

    Xu Zhiyi flipped through two pages.Suddenly, her eyes paused, unable to conceal her surprise.

    Is this?

    It doesn’t look like a paper at all, but like a novel.Starting from the first page, “Jianghuai Eucalyptus” appeared too frequently, which made her frown.

    It’s also a beautiful novel.

    After flipping through less than ten pages, Xu Zhiyi could already make a judgment.She felt ridiculous, but there seemed to be some force driving her to look back.

    She saw Pei Qingyan’s name.

    Banxia novel, a lot of fun
