Chapter 1380 Unrequited Love 34
Han Yu had gotten used to Xu Yanzhen feeding him from time to time. "Okay, thank you, teacher."

Zhou Shiyu saw the restaurant sign and couldn't help but smile. This restaurant was opened by his uncle's friend. So, it was a gift from his uncle? A glance at the bracelet on Xu Yanzhen's wrist confirmed Zhou Shiyu's suspicions.

As Han Yu came out carrying the box, Zhou Shiyu casually pulled out a chicken roll from it: "I suddenly feel a little hungry."

"You bastard!" Han Yu glared at him. "Weren't you not hungry just now?"

Zhou Shiyu avoided Han Yu's gaze and smiled warmly at Xu Yanzhen: "Teacher, we'll go back to the classroom now. Thank you for breakfast."

Xu Yanzhen sensed that Zhou Shiyu seemed to have figured something out, so she smiled shyly and said, "You're welcome. I'm just passing on this opportunity. Go back to class now."

Zhou Shiyu and Han Yu ran off playfully, but her colleagues in the office weren't going to let her off so easily. Xu Yanzhen was tight-lipped about this, insisting that she and Han Yu were only getting to know each other and weren't together yet.

Teacher Liu sipped her coffee: "Teacher Xu, just based on how generous she is and how much effort she puts in, she must be a very good person."

Xu Yanzhen thought about how much effort Zhou Jinxu had put into pursuing her, even transferring his nephew to her school. In both her lives, Zhou Jinxu was the person who had devoted the most effort to her.

At noon, after finishing her third and fourth classes in the morning, Xu Yanzhen didn't eat lunch at school. Instead, she planned to go to the bookstore to buy the books on her list. Another reason for her decision was to avoid her gossipy colleagues, who would bombard her with questions as soon as get out of class ended, leaving Xu Yanzhen feeling overwhelmed.

Before she even left the campus, Xu Yanzhen saw Zhou Jinxu leaning against the car.

At dismissal time, the school gate was bustling with students coming and going. But amidst the crowd, Xu Yanzhen spotted Zhou Jinxu at a glance. Strangely enough, upon seeing Zhou Jinxu, Xu Yanzhen suddenly felt less annoyed by her colleagues' gossip.

Perhaps it was because she was certain that Zhou Jinxu liked her, and she wasn't so insecure about him? In short, Zhou Jinxu made her feel at ease.
He leaned against the passenger door, his eyes downcast on his phone, occasionally tapping a few buttons. Xu Yanzhen couldn't help but wonder, who was he contacting right now?
Seemingly noticing Xu Yanzhen looking at him, Zhou Jinxu suddenly looked up, his narrow, phoenix-shaped eyes meeting hers. Xu Yanzhen, as if caught red-handed, gave Zhou Jinxu a knowing smile.

Teachers have their own dress code, and at school, Xu Yanzhen's attire is typically dignified and professional. For example, today she wore a white wool coat over a camel-colored long skirt.

Her long hair was slightly curled and gently draped behind her. The spring breeze lifted her hair, a few strands obscuring her eyes and brows. Zhou Jinxu vaguely recalled the scene of her making pastries that day.

A smile appeared in Zhou Jinxu's eyes. He put his phone back in his coat pocket, straightened up, and strode towards Xu Yanzhen. As he walked, the hem of his coat fluttered, revealing his perfectly pressed trousers.

His aura was powerful; as he walked towards Xu Yanzhen, the students all made way. Xu Yanzhen had a fleeting feeling that he had traveled thousands of miles just to be with her.

"get out of class is over?" Zhou Jinxu stopped in front of Xu Yanzhen and naturally took the bag she was carrying.

Xu Yanzhen snapped out of her daze and blushed at the stares of the students around her. She took Zhou Jinxu's wrist and headed out of the school: "get out of class is over, let's hurry up and leave, there are students all here."

Zhou Jinxu followed her lead and walked forward. He glanced at the hand holding his wrist, then looked at the students around him, his eyes full of indulgent smiles, and a sense of satisfaction after asserting his dominance: "Okay, I promise I will never tarnish Teacher Xu's image."

"Don't call me Teacher Xu," Xu Yanzhen glared at him, not falling into his trap. "Why are you here today? We just met yesterday." Thinking of that close hug last night, Xu Yanzhen's ears started to turn red again.

Zhou Jinxu opened the back door of the car, and there was a stack of books on the back seat: "I brought you books. Some of them I have in my study, and some I had my assistant buy for me."

Xu Yanzhen admired Zhou Jinxu's drive and initiative; admiration itself should be reflected in action. She had been subconsciously hoping for some action from Zhou Jinxu, but she hadn't expected him to act so swiftly.

Her gaze softened as she looked at Zhou Jinxu, no longer showing the exhaustion she felt from dealing with her colleagues all morning: "Since you gave me the book, I won't stand on ceremony with you. I really need it."

"To thank you, I'll treat you to lunch?"

This was exactly the result Zhou Jinxu wanted. Now that he had demonstrated his presence at Xu Yanzhen's school, it was time to withdraw. He opened the passenger door: "Okay, it's my honor to have dinner with Yan Yan."

He helped Xu Yanzhen into the car, bent down to fasten her seatbelt, and finally ruffled her hair before walking around to the driver's side to get in. The car sped away, leaving countless people heartbroken.

Before leaving, Zhou Jinxu glanced at the several female teachers on campus who stood there dumbfounded. Then, looking at a car across the street, Zhou Jinxu's mood rose several notches.

Looking at the road where the cars were no longer in sight, and then at Kim Hyuk beside her with a gloomy face, Moon Hye-jin suddenly asked with a hint of a smile, "Is that the person you like?"

"She seems to have a boyfriend."

Kim Hyuk's face darkened. "I have eyes of my own, I can see it."

Wen Huizhen chuckled. Jin He was like a dog whose food had been overturned. What could he do but rage impotently?
They had arrived long ago, even earlier than Zhou Jinxu. When Zhou Jinxu got out of the car, Wen Huizhen scrutinized him almost critically, looking him up and down to his feet.

His hair was styled in the classic slicked-back look, fully showcasing his features and exuding the mature charm of a successful man. His clothes and shoes were custom-made, his cuffs were jeweled, his tie clip was diamond-encrusted, and he wore an antique watch.

This outfit practically made up the entire villa in the Jiangnan district.

Wen Huizhen finally came to a conclusion: Top-notch.

When a man of this caliber comes to school, is he picking up his girlfriend or his child?
Seeing that he wasn't wearing a wedding ring, Wen Huizhen boldly guessed that he was there to pick up his girlfriend. What kind of woman could possibly be worthy of a man like that?

Wen Huizhen was momentarily curious and didn't notice Jin He. Ever since Zhou Jinxu appeared, Jin He's expression had become even more unpleasant. Jin He guessed that Zhou Jinxu was probably looking for Xu Yanzhen. The first time he saw Zhou Jinxu, Jin He sensed danger emanating from him.

He made no attempt to hide his feelings when they met at the golf course last time. Now, he's even allowed to come to the school to see Xu Yanzhen? How far have things progressed between them?
