in the duan family’s study.
when the two of them arrived at the study, duan linbai had to operate the computer, so he had to let go.
the two of them awkwardly wiped away the sweat on their palms.
xu jiamu looked around the study room. the back of her hand that he’d just held seemed to still be warm, and she rubbed it with her fingers.
there seemed to be an electric current running through the back of his hand, and it felt numb with just a touch.
!!
thinking of the duan family’s relatives, xu jiamu didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
this family’s characters were quite similar.
however, his study was not what she had imagined. there were piles of documents, many books on the shelves, and many words on the wall. the only one she knew was beethoven.
the decorations in the study were mostly related to musical instruments. on one side of the bookshelf, there was even a shelf full of trophies and medals, almost all of which had won music competitions.
she knew that duan linbai studied classical music, so she thought that he might be a music major or something. she didn’t expect him to really be …
treasure boy!
“where’s your usb?” duan linbai had already turned on his computer.
xu jiamu took out something from his bag and handed it to him. just as he inserted the usb, he saw a figure walk to his side, and his heart instantly jumped.
his back was straight and his legs were close together, looking like a good student.
what’s with this sudden tension!
i really want to shake my legs.
at this moment, the contents of the usb drive popped out of the computer.
“open the thesis folder. there’s a draft and a format requirement. just use these two.”
the screen of a 14-inch laptop was not big. she could only squint her eyes and look closer to see the words clearly.
this also caused her breath to land on his hand when she spoke.
his fingers trembled, and he clicked on the wrong document.
“f * ck, wrong, it’s this!” xu jiamu furrowed his brows and pointed at him.
“i know. i’m nervous when you’re standing beside me. my hands are shaking.” he had always been a straightforward person, so his words were even more direct.
” then … ” xu jiamu’s face turned red. ” i’ll stay away from you. ”
duan linbai coughed heavily and cleared his throat. ” no need. i want to be closer to you. ”
it was another critical hit.
xu jiamu’s heart trembled at his words.
“i’ll fill out the contents of this cover.” xu jiamu pointed at the cover of the book.
duan linbai stood up to make room for her, then leaned on the table and looked at her.
xu jiamu was nervous from his gaze. in addition, she wasn’t used to computer input methods, so she frequently made mistakes in her professional name. duan linbai took his phone and pretended to play with it, not disturbing her from filling in her information.
……
fu chen was still in the jing house at this time. he was developing photos with jing hanchuan in the inner room. the two men were childishly comparing whose wife was more beautiful.
at this moment, his phone was vibrating.
it was a message from [ there’s a big fool in the group ].
the man in love: [ i’m telling you, i just confessed to you. the sneaky and handsome kind. ]
[ f * ck, you guys don’t know how nervous i was just now. i was so nervous that i almost suffocated. ]
[ my heart is pounding. ]
…
at this time, the system prompted that fu chen had changed the group name to [ ignore the big fool ].
duan linbai was sullen.
[ you guys are just jealous of me! ]
fu chen replied, [ wanwan and i are already engaged. do i need to be jealous of you? ]
fu sinian replied, [ i have a child. ]
jing hanchuan was speechless. he seemed to have …
there was nothing.
duan linbai was a hot-tempered person, and he might act very quickly if he wanted to do something. as for fu chen …
song fengwan would be twenty years old in a few months ‘time. she could totally get married and register her marriage. with his personality, he would definitely drag her into his family’s household register.
he might fall behind and become the last one.
he tightened the clip and repeatedly developed the photo in the developing liquid, thinking about what to do next.
*
– at the duan family-
duan linbai showed off in the group chat, leaning on the table and tilting his head to look at xu jiamu, who was squinting at his thesis.
she raised her hand to tuck the hair that had fallen behind her ear. she was so focused on the paper that she didn’t notice his gaze.
duan linbai coughed lightly and moved half an inch closer to her. seeing that she wasn’t paying attention, he moved a little more.
the two of them rubbed their arms together.
startled, xu jiamu shifted his arm slightly. a certain someone shamelessly leaned over, then suddenly reached out and grabbed her arm.
a certain someone seemed very calm, but who knew that his heart was beating wildly at this time.
“what are you doing?”
“i want to hold hands.”
xu jiamu cleared his throat. ” then why are you pulling my arm? ”
his fingers moved down slightly and clasped her hand gently. ” this is good … ”
“i can’t type.”
“just for a while.”
duan linbai felt that he might be a little perverted. he could be happy for a long time just by holding hands.
one of them was staring at the computer while the other was staring at the ground. they didn’t look at each other.
the air, however, was filled with the sour smell of love.
he moved slightly closer, and xu jiamu caught a glimpse of him from the corner of his eye. his rationality told him to dodge, but his body was stiff and he couldn’t move.
as if they knew what was going to happen next, the two of them held their breaths.
at this moment …
the door was suddenly pushed open!
duan linbai’s body was slightly bent, maintaining an extremely awkward and difficult posture.
“did i disturb you?” lin yuxian pushed the door open and entered.
xu jiamu jumped up from his chair, blushing. ” auntie. ”
duan linbai was vexed,’oh my god!’ you can’t play like this!
“i’ll bring you some food and juice.”
“thank you,” he said. xu jiamu felt guilty.
“what are you guys busy with?” lin yuxian was curious.
“mom, you should go out!” duan linbai pushed her out without any restraint.
” i’m just asking. what’s the rush, kid … ” lin yuxian snorted as he was pushed out. ” mu zi, don’t leave tonight. stay for dinner. ”
“auntie, it’s fine.”
” you’re welcome. all of our relatives have left, and it’s just us. we’ll get lin bai to send you back after we’re done eating. ”
the duan family was so enthusiastic that xu jiamu could only say ” thank you ” in embarrassment.
“mom, you should leave quickly.” duan linbai pushed her out, but lin yuxian dragged him out of the door. it was obvious what he was going to ask.
xu jiamu lowered his head and stared at the computer, his mind filled with a myriad of thoughts.
“lin bai, when did you and mu zi start?” as a parent, she would definitely be curious about this.
“you’re such a busybody.”
“so, how far have you guys progressed?”
“i was just about to make some progress when you came. what else can i do?”
“useless thing, hurry up. it’s rare for a doctor to like you. you have to seize the opportunity, seize the opportunity!” lin yuxian patted his shoulder. ” what support do you need? your dad and i are down there. ”
when it came to love, one needed the help of ghosts.
” i know this girl. she’s a master’s student and a phd student. her iq must be very high. ”
duan linbai sneered …
“don’t tell me you’ve taken a fancy to her brain!”
” she’s a nice person too. she’s gentle and quiet. if you find me a wife who has the same personality as you, we can do evil things together. our roof can be lifted. it’s just that she’s too soft. i don’t know if she can control you. ”
the corners of duan linbai’s mouth twitched.
you beat me up the first time we met and sent me to the hospital. you’re worrying too much.
“alright, you guys go ahead. come down for dinner at around six. what does she like to eat? i’ll go prepare.”
“i’m not a picky eater.”
“then you should go in quickly.”
……
although no one from the duan family came over, the two of them did not overstep their boundaries and do anything else in the study.
duan linbai helped her to carefully adjust a version of the thesis and printed it out. he let her read it once and found a few mistakes. the two of them worked in front of the computer for more than two hours and only prepared to go down for dinner when it was almost six o ‘clock.
“why don’t i go back to school?” xu jiamu was still a little apprehensive.
“it’s just a meal, what’s there to be afraid of? i’ll help you reformat it after dinner, and i’ll be able to help you finish your thesis by tonight. why don’t you come back tomorrow?”
he’ll come again tomorrow?
xu jiamu didn’t dare to do anything else, so he could only nod and follow him downstairs.
however, when they reached the living room, they were once again dumbfounded.
other than the duan couple, there were also four old men sitting in the living room. they had kind and friendly expressions, and they were all smiling as they stared at them.
xu jiamu suddenly felt like he’d become a zoo animal …
and it was the rarest and most precious species.

chuanbei
the jing family’s parents weren’t around that night, and song fengwan had a club event at school, so jing hanchuan and fu chen had dinner together.
” third master … ” shi fang quickly walked over.
“is there something?”
“the duan family’s two elders and the lin family’s people have all entered the capital.”
fu chen pursed his lips. ” this family is so fast. they’re in such a hurry to see their granddaughter-in-law. ”
jing hanchuan squeezed a lemon, squeezed some juice out, and poured it on the piece of meat in front of him. this guy was really fast. he should speed up …
a thought suddenly popped up in his mind.
the xu family’s household register …
it seemed to be in xu yufei’s hands.
he picked up his chopsticks and took a bite of the meat …
it was so sour that his teeth hurt.
