After The Sweet Ending

Chapter 12: Love rival?

Xu Wei had planned to go to Yu Shizhou’s university early, but something unexpected happened. One of the authors under her suddenly had something happen, and she went over to deal with it.

She wasted a round trip for two to three hours, and she was in a hurry to get to school, still trying to figure out how to explain.  When she called Yu Shizhou, there was no answer. She stopped a student on the way and found out that the physics department was giving a lecture in the Dezheng Building today.

Xu Wei quietly slipped in through the back door and picked up a random seat in the back row among the stair seats. The person on the stage who was giving the speech was none other than Yu Shizhou, his slender trousers wrapped around two long legs, his black shirt buttoned up, his shoulders wide and waist narrow, and his speaking manner was serious. He radiated a sense of strict detachment from the inside out.

The leaders in the front row and the students inside the hall listened attentively, there was very little whispering and the whole auditorium was full. There were especially many girls in the front row, each one very pretty and dressed in a youthful and beautiful way.

Xu Wei felt as if his eyes glanced over here, but wasn’t sure if he saw her, after all, she was sitting so far away.

She looked a bit gloomy, thinking how to explain later. The girl next to her came over to talk, her gaze stunned. “Sister? Are you also from Jiaotong University? How come I haven’t seen you before?”

Xu Wei nodded, she was indeed from this school, but had graduated a few years ago.

When the girl learned that she had graduated, her expression became even more astonished. “Did you come back for Professor Yu? Our professor’s charm is really unstoppable. Look at the fourth girl on the left in the third row in front of you, her name is Zhang Nana. I heard that she used to like our professor and came back specifically to listen to his lecture this time.”

The assistant had got the information wrong and he had just said he would go and change it, if it had been in the past it would have been time to change the assistant.

But just now when he was on stage, he noticed that the professor was in a bad mood again, and every time the department failed to complete an assignment, his cold stare could freeze people to death.

It was even worse just now, to the extent of freezing a thousand miles away, and she still hadn’t guessed why.

Xu Wei couldn’t guess either, smiling sarcastically and getting rid of the girl’s enthusiastic hand. “Why don’t you listen again, it will take a long time, right?”

The girl shook her head dumbly. “No, there’s still fifteen minutes left before it’s over. I’m curious about Shifu, the students in our department were looking forward to it, but now no one in the lobby looks like it. Do you think she didn’t come?”

Xu Wei exhaled softly, “How long is this lecture class in total?”

“Two hours.”

Great, two hours, she had sat for less than twenty minutes, Xu Wei was a little apprehensive.

After all, she had promised to attend yesterday, but today she had broken their appointment, and by the look of his face he really didn’t seem too happy.

The whole auditorium stood up and applauded. The leader of the school in front of them wanted to invite a few leaders to a meal, so Xu Wei took the time to slip away to the backstage.

The handsome man sat in his office chair, a ring on his slender ring finger and a bottle of water in his bony hand.

His  adam’s apple slowly rolled up and down, his narrow eyes slightly closed, clearly in a bad mood.

Xu Wei felt tangled for a moment, ready to go over and apologize. She felt increasingly abashed and guilty after their marriage.

In the past, on occasions like this, she wouldn’t have felt wrong, something had delayed her, and it couldn’t be helped. But Yu Shizhou’s stony appearance was like a suppressed volcano, and even she would be unlucky if she didn’t appease it.

The backstage was a bit busy with many students coming and going, entering and leaving. Most of them looked, unintentionally or intentionally at their Professor Yu who was talking to a girl. The girl dressed stylishly in a white dress, the necklace on her neck shining brightly, reflecting her fair skin.

She looked to be middle or upper class, and her make up was exquisite, a sensual modern woman. Zhang Nana smiled and laughed, “I haven’t seen you for a long time, your discussion was very good today. Sure enough, you didn’t disappoint our mentor. He wanted to support you back then until now.”

Yu Shizhou lifted his face, his desire to speak almost non-existent, and said faintly, “Thank you.”

Zhang Nana’s gaze was a little greedy, her eyes fell on his face. He was the person she liked for so long. The other party was getting more outstanding as time passed, she couldn’t let go at all.

She sighed slightly in her heart and said, “Do you have time? Let’s go for a meal together.”

From the reception area came the school leader and said, full of smiles, “Prof. Yu, don’t leave yet. You should join us for the dinner party once in a while, and talk with the other leaders.”

Zhang Nana said hello, and the school leader smiled. “Who is this?”

His eyes were already ambiguous. Perhaps he had assumed Zhang Nana as Yu Shizhou’s wife.

Xu Wei didn’t know what to think, but she already walked over to the group, and took Yu Shizhou’s  arm.

“Hello, Director Li. I’m Xu Wei, do you still remember me?”

The Xu family has a friendship with the president of Jiaotong University, Director Li suddenly realized who she was, and then looked at the two holding hands together.

What was there not to understand? Yu Shizhou held Xu Wei’s hand, his face not showing emotions as if he was suffering from facial paralysis.

Director Li hurriedly invited Xu Wei to join him for the meal, and only when both of them had agreed did he walk away with a smile on his face.

Zhang Nana was completely ignored, and the eyes of so many people around her glanced over intentionally and unintentionally with a trace of embarrassment.

Xu Wei was very generous, and said, “Is Ms. Zhang free? Let’s go with us later.”

The corner of Zhang Nana’s mout stiffly curled. Director Li hadn’t asked her to go, so what was the point of being the third wheel? The pair in front of her was really blinding, and the corners of Yu Shizhou’s mouth flushed with a faint smile that she had never seen before.

Her heart was so sour and sad that she was on the verge of tears, so Zhang Nana made a casual excuse and fled.

There were other people around, but everyone was very sensible and left the area. The girl who had just struck up a conversation with Xu Wei ran in from outside and stared in surprise when she saw her snuggled up next to Yu Shi Zhou.

“Shifu? Is she your mother?”

Xu Wei said glumly, “I’m just a few years older than you.”

Receiving Xu Wei’s sultry look, he gently squeezed her palm and coughed lightly twice, “Call her Senior Sister Xu.”
