Chapter 1598: Chapter 1580
Xia Xuan saw that Liu Cheng was reluctant to say more, so he didn’t press further. He nodded slightly and said, "In that case, you should at least give me an address so I can drop you off. Unless you plan to accompany me to school?"
Liu Cheng pointed to the intersection ahead, "Just drop me off there."
After dropping Liu Cheng off, Xia Xuan drove to the school. Besides being a psychologist, he was also a college psychology professor.
He originally had a class today, but because Liu Cheng came unexpectedly, he had to reschedule.
He drove all the way to the parking lot and saw a suspicious-looking student there.
Shen Yaoyao hadn’t seen Chu Ge in a long time. Someone had told her that Chu Ge would be driving to class today, so she got here early, waiting to catch him.
But no matter how long she waited, she didn’t see any sign of Chu Ge.
After parking his car, Xia Xuan approached Shen Yaoyao. He had been standing behind her for quite some time without her noticing.
Finally, Xia Tian tapped Shen Yaoyao on the shoulder, "Hey, what are you doing here? Need any help?"
The sudden voice startled Shen Yaoyao.
She stood up quickly and turned to see who it was. The bubble tea in her hand spilled onto Xia Xuan’s sleeve due to her unsteady movement.
"Sorry, sorry." Shen Yaoyao apologized, realizing it was a professor from their school. She took a step back and bowed in apology.
Xia Xuan frowned slightly at his wet sleeve, "Be more careful next time, this isn’t the way to do things."
"I understand, I’m sorry, Professor."
...
Chu Ge initially didn’t want to go to school, but the office director called him recently, informing him of the school’s regulations. So he had no choice but to continue coming to class. Fortunately, he taught Taekwondo, not art, so he didn’t usually cross paths with Shen Yaoyao.
But recently, for some reason, this Shen Yaoyao kept pestering him. He knew she mistook him for Mr. Chu, but he wasn’t Mr. Chu, and he was very averse to women clinging to him.
Chu Ge drove into the parking lot and saw Shen Yaoyao talking non-stop to someone. Instinctively, he frowned upon seeing her again unexpectedly.
After parking the car, he had to pass by Shen Yaoyao on his way. He sighed silently and braced himself to walk past her.
Before he got close, a figure darted in front of him, "Chu Ge! I’ve finally found you!"
Shen Yaoyao beamed at him with a bright smile.
"I’ve told you before, don’t come looking for me if there’s nothing important. It seems like you didn’t take my words seriously."
Chu Ge’s tone was cold.
Shen Yaoyao pouted, "But I really have something important to discuss with you."
Behind them, Xia Xuan noticed Chu Ge and raised an eyebrow slightly, puzzled about why Chu Ge would be here.
Suddenly remembering the trouble she just caused, Shen Yaoyao turned to Xia Xuan and said, "Professor, I’m really sorry, I didn’t mean to."
Xia Xuan chuckled, rolling up his sleeve, "It’s alright, I’ll just change into another shirt in the office later."
Chu Ge’s gaze fell on Xia Xuan’s arm, where there was a tattoo of a mysterious floral pattern. He hadn’t seen it in real life before, but the sight of it sent chills down his spine.
Staring at the pattern intently, he remembered it distinctly. He couldn’t mistake it.
Back when Fang Zhong died, they found a similar pattern on him, but despite their efforts, they couldn’t figure out what it meant.
Chu Ge pursed his lips, keeping his eyes fixed on Xia Xuan. He wanted to approach and ask about the tattoo but hesitated, fearing it might alert him.
He had learned to watch and wait in this society, not acting rashly without solid evidence.
Xia Xuan noticed Chu Ge staring at him and smiled slightly, "You look familiar. Have we met somewhere before?"
Snapping back to reality, Chu Ge realized his rudeness, smiled, and said, "We haven’t met. My apologies."
After speaking, he nodded slightly and prepared to leave.
Shen Yaoyao followed closely, "Chu Ge, I really have something to discuss. I’m not here to make unnecessary trouble!"
As Chu Ge walked, he said to Shen Yaoyao, "Alright, if you really have something, just tell me, I’m listening. What is it?"
Watching Chu Ge hurry off, Shen Yaoyao was speechless, "Could you slow down a bit? You’re walking so fast I can’t catch up!"
Trying to talk while catching her breath was exhausting!
Seeing her rushing to keep up, Chu Ge slowed down, "Okay, go ahead and speak now."
Shen Yaoyao took a deep breath, composed herself, and said, "My sister’s birthday is coming up, how do you plan to celebrate it?"
"Your sister?" Chu Ge asked puzzlingly, "Who’s your sister?"
Shen Yaoyao was exasperated by Chu Ge’s question, "Chu Ge, are you suffering from amnesia? How can you not know who my sister is?"
She was on the verge of being driven crazy by him.
No wonder when she called Mu Bingtong recently, she sounded so disheartened and sad on the phone. So Chu Ge had forgotten about her!
"Have you not called my sister recently?"
Frowning, Shen Yaoyao looked at Chu Ge, her heart burning with anger, "Chu Ge, ever since you went on that trip, you’ve changed! What on earth happened to you out there? What changed you into this person?"
Chu Ge smirked slightly, "It’s nothing. I’ve just been really busy lately, so busy I’ve forgotten things. You just mentioned your sister’s birthday? When is it?"
The sister she mentioned should be Mu Bingtong, right? He remembered her birthday was in the hottest part of Xia Tian, but now it was just after the coldest days.
"I’ll call her later, and as for a gift, I’ll think about what to prepare."
Even seeing Chu Ge’s absent-minded state, Shen Yaoyao’s anger hadn’t subsided, "Chu Ge, what’s wrong with you? I feel like you’ve changed so much we don’t even recognize you anymore! If not for your face, I’d think you weren’t the Chu Ge we know!"
Chu Ge coughed lightly and gave a sheepish smile, "You’re overthinking it. I’m fine, just a little worn out with everything going on lately."
Suspiciously, Shen Yaoyao looked at him, "Is that really the case?"
"Of course, why would I lie to you?"
