Chapter 276: Chapter 275, Beauty Appointment The phone call was from Chen Qiaomu. Even though Xu Wendong was Qingyuan, and a big shot in the provincial capital’s underground forces, Even though he was a cultivator, capable of crushing first-rate masters, In front of the goddess he secretly admired during his university days, he felt an inexplicable nervousness, but more so a sense of awkwardness. Because he didn’t know how to face her. How to face the feelings that never began. However, he still pressed the answer button, and immediately a pleasant voice came through, "Hello, Teacher Xu, I’m Chen Qiaomu from sophomore Class 6. I have some academic questions I’d like to consult you about. Do you have time?" "Sure!" Xu Wendong eventually agreed, even though he didn’t know how to face these feelings, he couldn’t bear to refuse Chen Qiaomu. "I’ll wait for you at the school gate!" Chen Qiaomu said, smiling as she hung up the phone. Xu Wendong looked at Liu Chunyang and the other school leaders, then shrugged, "I have something else to do, let’s talk about having a meal next time!" He said as he walked out with his hands in his pockets. Just as he stepped out of the lecture hall, Xu Wendong saw Huang Pangzi and some old classmates, all eager to invite Xu Wendong to dinner and privately ask him for guidance on some unresolved questions. However, Xu Wendong had already made plans with Chen Qiaomu, so he had to politely decline their invitation. While heading to the school gate, he dialed Su Li’s phone number, telling her he had things to do and wasn’t sure what time he’d be back at the hotel, telling her not to wait up for him. Afterwards, Xu Wendong arrived at the school gate. There he saw the young, beautiful figure under the evening glow. Long hair gently swayed in the wind. Her gestures exuded an elegant and charming aura. Especially her delicate features, stunningly beautiful, making one’s heart skip a beat. When Xu Wendong appeared, the girl showed a teasing smile, "I really didn’t expect that in less than two months apart, you’d become an honorary lecturer at our school." "It really is true that absence makes the heart grow fonder." "But, why didn’t you tell me about your identity before?" she said, pouting with a puffed-up expression. She was quite upset with Xu Wendong for hiding his identity. After all, she always hoped that Xu Wendong could return to campus and change his destiny through studying. Little did she know, the other party had already become an honorary lecturer at the school. It was like she instilled within a beggar the idea that he must earn money to change his life, only to suddenly find out that the beggar had long since become a billionaire... Xu Wendong gave a sheepish smile, "Even if I told you I was an honorary lecturer at the school, would you have believed me?" "I..." Chen Qiaomu was at a loss for words. Exactly! If Xu Wendong had told her before that he had become an honorary lecturer at the school, she wouldn’t have believed him at all. Chen Qiaomu changed the topic, "What do you feel like eating tonight?" Xu Wendong: "Hotpot, maybe!" He knew there was a good hotpot place nearby; he had been there once before with Huang Pangzi. With that, The two walked side by side under the sunset, neither saying much, but the atmosphere was cozy. For Xu Wendong back then, walking with the girl he liked under the sunset was an extremely romantic thing. After a little more than ten minutes, they arrived at the hotpot restaurant. Fortunately, they arrived a bit earlier; if they had come a few minutes later, there definitely wouldn’t have been any seats. Most of the diners were couples, and there were no burly men in sight, creating a very intimate atmosphere. The two ordered a large table of essential hotpot dishes and a case of beer. Xu Wendong originally didn’t want to order drinks, but since Chen Qiaomu ordered it, he didn’t know how to refuse. After waiting for more than ten minutes, the waiter brought over the food and drinks. "Come on, here’s to us still being able to meet!" Chen Qiaomu lifted her glass, wearing a faint smile. "Cheers!" Xu Wendong clinked glasses with her, then drank the beer in one go. "Can you tell me your story from this time?" Chen Qiaomu asked, looking at Xu Wendong with curious eyes while eating. Just as Huang Pangzi had mentioned before, the change in Xu Wendong over this period was remarkable. Especially standing confidently in the lecture hall, he was a completely different person compared to before. Xu Wendong thought for a moment and said, "Nothing much happened this month, I just accidentally became the big shot of underground forces in our county." "Oh, now I’m the big shot in the provincial capital’s underground forces too." Chen Qiaomu rolled her eyes at him and said, "Just have a peanut or something, so you don’t have to say such things!" Xu Wendong looked embarrassed. I really was telling the truth, wasn’t I? "What plans do you have for the future?" Chen Qiaomu asked. Xu Wendong didn’t like others asking about his future plans, as they were filled with too many uncertainties. But he knew that only people who cared about him would ask this way. While boiling tripe, he said, "I’m currently working at our county hospital, and my future work focus will definitely be medical-related." He said this while placing the cooked tripe in front of Chen Qiaomu. "Thank you!" Chen Qiaomu blushed slightly. After all, in her view, serving food was something only intimate people would do for each other. Tasting the tripe Xu Wendong had served her, Chen Qiaomu said, "Actually, with your current status and abilities, there’s no need to stay in your county. As long as you speak up, hospitals in the province will definitely scramble to offer you an olive branch." "The benefits and future development potential here would be much better than your county." Xu Wendong: "I don’t deny what you’re saying, but Qingyuan is my home, my roots. In my previous dreams, even after graduation, I planned to return to Qingyuan to work and live." Chen Qiaomu let out a soft "oh," then nervously asked, "Was I part of your past dreams?" Xu Wendong’s chopstick slipped, and the lamb he was holding dropped into the hotpot. He hadn’t expected Chen Qiaomu to ask such a question, which was also a question he didn’t know how to answer. Because the answer would determine the nature of their relationship. He didn’t know how to define their relationship. At that moment, A sudden gong sound from the hall drew a lot of attention. The attractive manager of the hotpot restaurant, dressed in a qipao, stood in front of a gong the size of a millstone, with two piles of cash next to it, one looking like two thousand yuan, and the other a little more, around five thousand yuan. In addition, there was a delicate jewelry box. The beautiful manager smiled and said, "Thank you all for supporting our restaurant. To coincide with our fifth anniversary, we’re holding a ’witness of love.’" "This is a small challenge, related to love." "The challenge is simple, couples kiss and whoever holds on the longest wins a carefully prepared gift from us." "The participation prize is a 200 yuan voucher." "The third prize is 2,000 yuan cash." "The second prize is 5,000 yuan!" "The first prize is a pair of pure gold couple rings worth 20,000 yuan." "If anyone wants to join, feel free to sign up!" Hearing this, many dining couples became interested and enthusiastically signed up. Chen Qiaomu looked at Xu Wendong, her face blushing, her clear eyes filled with nervousness and anticipation, "Why don’t we sign up and give it a try?"
