It’s half past nine, and Xiao ng received Yin Shixiu’s reply just halfway through her class.
Yeah, just got off the plane, I’ll co after changing my clothes. Make sure you rember how to dance your dance, I’ll check later.
"..."
"I’m done for..."
Su Xiaong stared at the reply Yin Shixiu sent on her phone screen, mumbling to herself...
However, the classroom was quiet at the mont, with Dick’s focused eyes scanning the students sitting below.
"Yes, you’re done for."
Dick suddenly said calmly in Chinese.
This made the students who were preparing their English materials for translation into Chinese, Japanese, and German look up involuntarily...
Little ngxin was startled, looking up to find Dick already standing in front of her.
Now she was truly done for...
With despair in her heart, Xiao ng quickly looked up and smiled at him, shalessly greeting him.
"Heh heh..."
"Heh heh!"
Unexpectedly, Dick also returned a laugh, the sound was similar, but his tone felt much colder.
"It looks like you’re well prepared. Go ahead and translate."
Little ngxin’s heart pounded madly. She had been preparing seriously, but she was interrupted by Yin Shixiu’s reply.
Now that Dick picked her, she could only brace herself and start translating...
Translating into Chinese was quite smooth for Xiao ng, but Japanese and German were indeed a challenge.
Japanese and German were subjects Xiao ng decided to learn when she chose to study in Bath, and her foundation wasn’t solid.
So, she always carried several thick dictionaries in her backpack.
Dick didn’t approve of using electronic dictionaries. Once, Xiao ng brought an electronic dictionary, and Dick imdiately "complained," saying sothing like...
"No brains and no strength?"
Xiao ng had no choice but to carry herself like a snail every day, a small body, heavy... Dreams! Yes, not a shell, but dreams!
While translating Japanese, she stumbled a bit, not paying much attention to grammar and word choice, she managed to get it done.
But when it ca to German...
"Hehe..."
Xiao ng smiled at Dick and suddenly said, "Teacher, just when I was translating into German, I felt like I was done for, and sure enough! Look..."
Dick glanced at Su Xiaong,
"If you put the energy you have for dancing into studying, maybe you wouldn’t be done for!"
As soon as Dick said this, the previously quiet classroom had a brief commotion.
This was the intentional or unintentional reminder of the explosive post on the school forum last night!
Su Xiaong nodded quickly,
"Yes, yes, yes!"
Dick didn’t target her further and called soone else to continue translating.
Little ng wasn’t completely unmotivated; what did it an to put the energy of dancing into studying and not be done for? That would be truly done for, wouldn’t it...
But if she put the energy she has for studying into dancing... perhaps she could beco a dancer!
Xiao ng had had such dreams before, but because the path to becoming a dancer was too tough, she abandoned it early.
Having married Yin Shixiu... she still had to strive hard to achieve sothing.
Knowing this earlier, she would have worked hard to learn dance at fifteen or sixteen.
The morning classes were full, and once finished, it was lunch ti, but Xiao ng ate absent-mindedly.
Even though Qin Hui had t Yin Shixiu once, she didn’t know Yin Shixiu was the president of Yin Group.
Yin Shixiu himself rarely appeared in the dostic dia, the na of Yin Group was louder than his own.
But in foreign dia, Yin Shixiu appeared more often.
Xiao ng didn’t understand this logic, but when she privately asked Yin Shixiu, he did give an answer, a rather arrogant answer.
"Are international dealings comparable to dostic ones?"
Therefore, ordinary people who didn’t follow foreign business dia news would have only a vague idea of who Yin Shixiu was!
As for the na, everyone knew it!
As for what he looked like, it required people to deliberately search and pay attention.
Qin Hui was sitting opposite Su Xiaong at this mont, experiencing the gaze from others in the canteen with her.
Seeing Su Xiaong eating listlessly, Qin Hui relaxed a bit, thinking this was a normal human reaction. Where is the person being discussed by schoolmates who can remain indifferent?
Little did she know, Xiao ng was eating listlessly, just repeatedly chewing over what her husband’s text ssage ant?
She could adjust her mindset and prepare adequately to respond.
"Xiao ng... your pasta is cold."
Qin Hui pointed to the plate of pasta that had already turned mushy in front of Xiao ng and reminded her.
Xiao ng put down the fork,
"Have you finished eating? If you have, let’s go."
Qin Hui panicked, regretting the reminder, worrying if Xiao ng thought she was rushing her?
"You eat, you eat."
"Ah... I can’t eat anymore."
Xiao ng glanced at Qin Hui’s plate, which was basically empty, picked up her own plate, and got up to leave.
Qin Hui’s heart was anxious.
She felt Su Xiaong, after being openly and subtly ridiculed all morning, was finally discouraged, unable to maintain the composure she had when speaking with her in the morning.
Thinking it over, it was still her fault...
Following behind Xiao ng, she didn’t dare to say anything.
Xiao ng seed to be walking to more secluded areas, turning left and right, Qin Hui didn’t know where she was headed, but both were getting closer to the back gate of the school, farther from the main teaching area.
The university was built on a mountain, and once outside the school, it was even more desolate.
At noon, near the school’s back gate, besides a shaded path and large lawns, there was basically no one.
Qin Hui thought, Xiao ng surely felt really bad now, not wanting to see people at all!
Thinking this, she continued to silently accompany her on the walk.
Xiao ng hadn’t noticed Qin Hui’s little calculations; the lecture at three ant Yin Shixiu had to arrive at least half an hour early, right?
Hmm.....
What does it an to check later?
Does it an she really has to dance for him? Once danced, will the matter be considered resolved?
No way... He’s the big boss, and a cunning one, how could he let the little monster go easily...
But what does ’check’ an, exactly?
"Ah! So annoying! What difference does it make if I dance again! n are so petty, such a small issue making people nervous, I don’t believe he’d hit , really!"
Probably finding it troubling to guess her husband’s intentions, Su Xiaong suddenly stopped walking, and grumbled in annoyance!
"Dancing doesn’t necessarily an anything, and I won’t hit you..."
"..."
Su Xiaong’s spine, that connected head to tailbone, suddenly stiffened.
Upon hearing the voice, her heart froze.
Qin Hui didn’t an to alert her.
She was following Su Xiaong just fine, who’d have thought soone would walk over from the back gate, not completely silent after all, since she heard footsteps before noticing Yin Shixiu.
But Su Xiaong was too deep in her own thoughts, beyond hearing, she saw nothing even in her peripheral vision.
Although having t him once, the appearance of Yin Shixiu, such a man, is indeed unforgettable.
Qin Hui rembered him, but didn’t understand why he appeared here, though a flash of realization brought so speculation!
Su Xiaong is a married woman, and yesterday’s post on the school forum was seen by her husband...
She wanted to call Su Xiaong, but Yin Shixiu had already walked over, motioning for her to stay silent.
Qin Hui thought, a couple getting together, certainly none of her business, turned to leave, unexpectedly...
Su Xiaong, what are you up to here?
Why not just murmur any discomfort to yourself, why shout so indignantly!
A place of trouble, shouldn’t linger long.
Qin Hui did not hesitate anymore, turned and slipped away without saying anything.
"But why are you nervous, it seems... there’s guilt in your heart."
Su Xiaong slowly turned around, still with that stiff spine, hearing Yin Shixiu speak gently... very... eerily.
