Xue Jiao hurried to the school gate. At this time, a man standing in a familiar position looked at her with a smile on his face.

Her eyes brightened and she ran quickly.

When she came before Lin Zhihua, they looked at each other and smiled. He stretched out his hand, Xue Jiao placed her hand on it and clasped his fingers.

Both of them were busy at ordinary times. In fact, there were not many opportunities to meet, so they miss each other very much.

They understand each other’s busyness, but they also miss each other when they are idle occasionally.

Lin Zhihua’s hand was bigger and warmer than that of Xue Jiao. It was tightly wrapped around the small hand of Xue Jiao, and his heart seemed to stick together with his hand.

There was some silence between them. After taking a few steps, Xue Jiao suddenly said, “I miss you a little.”

Lin Zhihua’s feet paused for only a moment, and he continued to move forward.

It wasn’t until they reached the parking lot, Lin Zhihua reached out and hugged Xue Jiao tightly in his arms.

He took a deep breath and said, “I really want to marry you early so I can see you every night.”

They don’t spend much time together every week, and they also video chat in the evening, but for Lin Zhihua, it’s still not enough. It was like drinking poison to quench thirst.

If they get married, they would live together for at least eight hours a day.

Hugging in broad daylight, Xue Jiao was still a little embarrassed. Coupled with Lin Zhihua’s words, she gently pushed him away and glanced at him: “What are you thinking!”

Lin Zhihua stretched out his hand and gently flicked her forehead: “Hurry up and grow another two years older.”

Xue Jiao blushed and stared at him.

Lin Zhihua smiled and opened the door. After Xue Jiao sat him, he entered the co-pilot from the other side and started the car.

On the way to Wuliu lane, they chatted. Xue Jiao talked about the project without a clue, fierce Zhang Han and what just happened.

“I always think they don’t need me very much. I don’t know why they want me to participate in their project.” Xue Jiao tilted her head and looked at Lin Zhihua’s perfect side face.

Lin Zhihua just smiled and shook his head: “Silly girl, they want you to participate in the project. The project is actually very simple, because they want to do things related to Fermat theorem. You have strength, but you are only a freshman in the end, and they don’t pay so much attention to you. But even if they know that you will have more sophomore classes, they still invite you, just to borrow your fame.”

“Ah?” Xue Jiao was stunned and surprised.

“You met Professor Tan Zhongying, Zhang Han, Yang Zhan, Zheng Jiakun and Chu Sheng among your peers. They are all devoted to research and science and technology, but not everyone in the academic community is like this. At this right time, didn’t you meet Zeng Bin and Ge Donglin again. We don’t look at the world with bad eyes, but we must also know that your contact with the academic community is not a harmonious scene of singing and dancing.” Lin Zhihua said softly.

Xue Jiao was a little stunned. Indeed, she has been in contact with many powerful and serious academic giants. She almost thought that everyone was like this.

She just said that Ge Donglin and Zeng Bin should not generalize, yet she was like this……

Seeing her spirit shaking, Lin Zhihua smiled and said, “There are not only these two people, but also more people. They may even be academically higher than you. Why, can’t you accept it?”

Xue Jiao was a little silent. After a while, she nodded and shook her head.

“What do you mean?” Lin Zhihua glanced at her curiously.

Xue Jiao suddenly looked up with a serious expression. Her voice was serious: “It’s really a little unacceptable, but I also know this situation. Professor Tan said before that the social rhythm was too fast, the utilitarian heart was also heavy, and there were not many people who concentrated on academic work. But she could also accept it. After all, there were not many people who were willing to devote themselves to academic research, and there were actually many of them. She could be herself and work together with like-minded friends. The efforts of some of us are always useful.”

Lin Zhihua smiled and his eyes were full of love: “Yes, you’re right to think so.”

He was a businessman. He worked hard with profit and doesn’t get up without. He knew all the tricks and his moves were harsh.

But Jiao Jiao was not like this, and she doesn’t want to be like this.

Lin Zhihua would point out these calculations to her, but would not interfere with her decision.

Because this was Xue Jiao, not another Lin Zhihua.
