“Lao Cheng, what are you doing? What’s with your long face?”

“What? ! I can’t even put on a long face? !”

“What do you let Lin Zhihua think?”

“I don’t care what he thinks!”

“You this……”

Xue Jiao was embarrassed and walked out with Lin Zhihua.

“That……Happy New Year……Go back soon……”

She stood at the gate, bowed her head and said this.

Lin Zhihua looked at her with a smile until she moved uneasily, then bowed his head and breathed in her ear.

Sure enough, Xue Jiao’s face and ears turned red in front of him, and her head was even lower.

The corners of his mouth were raised high in joy.

Ambiguous breathing hit her ear, the voice was gentle and full of love——

“Little darling, what should I do? I thought I already liked you enough, yet it seems I can like you more every day. This love seems to have no boundaries……”

“Boom——” Xue Jiao’s red face was like an explosion.

He……How could he speak love words like that?!

Xue Jiao’s heart beat like thunder and she couldn’t say a word.

“I like you so much, so you like me a little too, okay?”

At the last three words, the distance between Lin Zhihua and Xue Jiao was almost zero, as if he was stuck on her ear.

His voice was vague and ambiguous, with unspeakable……temptation.

Xue Jiao opened her mouth and her lips trembled.

Lin Zhihua raised his mouth again: “I don’t want you to respond to me now. I’ll wait for you as long as needed.”

With that, he turned and strode away.

Xue Jiao stared at his back until he disappeared completely. Then she squatted down stiffly and covered her heart——

Finished.

She seemed to……

Fall.

Lin Zhihua was right. The attribute of Xue Jiao was like a turtle. Even if she realized that she had really fallen, she still shrank her head and feet and dared not show it.

Fortunately, after the new year, Professor Tan returned the revised paper to Xue Jiao and hoped to finalize the final draft at the beginning of school.

Xue Jiao’s life was busy all of a sudden. She was in a hurry and finally got it all done the night before school began.

There was the credit of Professor Tan and Lin Zhihua.

When the paper was signed, Xue Jiao wrote it, but at Lin Zhihua’s request, she removed his name.

“Why can’t you leave your signature?”

The person in the video chuckled: “Silly girl, if I sign, it’s more troublesome. I’m in business and don’t have to engage in academics. You listen to me.”

“But……” Xue Jiao was a little sad, “but you have helped me a lot. If it weren’t for you, I would have spent more time.”

Lin Zhihua really helped her a lot in translating some proper terms and expressions.

“I am willing to be the person behind you.” The man on the phone whispered, looking at her with a smile.

Xue Jiao’s face burned again.

“I’m hanging up, hanging up!!” Xue Jiao ended the phone.

On the other end of the phone, Lin Zhihua raised his brows and said with a smile, “When can Jiao Jiao get rid of the habit of being shy and wanting to run? She’s really a……little turtle.”

As for the signature, Lin Zhihua would never agree.
