I won 90 million, all I want to do is lie down and relax!

Lu Zhaoyang's heart skipped a beat; it really had to be Teacher Xia.

Most people would probably ask if they gained anything or learned anything from this.

The only thing he would ask when he opened his mouth was whether it was interesting.

"It was quite interesting. More importantly, I briefly mentioned Professor Xia's analysis of LePet to my boss friend there. He was both excited and impressed; Professor Xia's judgment was completely correct. Professor Xia, you are truly amazing, absolutely incredible!"

Xia Ran replied, "Well, it's just so-so."

Through the screen, Lu Zhaoyang couldn't see Teacher Xia's expression at that moment.

But even from just this short sentence, he couldn't help but secretly speculate.

When Teacher Xia said those words, did she have a little bit of cute pride on her face?

Unfortunately, he couldn't see it with his own eyes, which felt like missing out on a rare treasure, and he felt very regretful.

"Teacher Xia, my friend wants me to ask if there's a chance he can meet you."

Xia Ran: "See me?"

Lu Zhaoyang: "Yes, he admires him too."

Xia Ran: "I don't really want to see you. Will it put you in a difficult position?"

Lu Zhaoyang immediately replied, "Of course not, not at all. I only promised to ask for him, I didn't promise anything. Besides, someone as powerful as Teacher Xia isn't someone you can just see whenever you want, right?"

This time, Xia Ran sent a smiling emoji.

Lu Zhaoyang stared at the small smiling face, winked at the phone screen, and then sent back a grinning emoji.

"Teacher Xia, I actually think that this grinning expression conveys joy better."

Xia Ran: "I like this!"

As she spoke, another smiley face appeared.

"Take a closer look, you might have a different feeling."

A moment later, Xia Ran sent another smiley face.

Lu Zhaoyang shrugged slightly.

She seems to be more lively than before, which is a good thing.

Lu Zhaoyang asked, "Has Teacher Xia finished all her classes for today?"

"Um."

"Aren't you tired?"

"fine."

In the school office, Xia Ran held her phone, a subtle ripple stirring in her heart.

She used to see people staring at their phones and laughing to themselves, but she didn't understand what kind of state of mind that was. Now, she understands a little.

I couldn't believe that something like this had happened to me.

Remembering that they were already a couple, she took the initiative to send a message: "Lu Zhaoyang, what are you doing right now?"

Two messages popped up in succession:

"Listen to music."

"Beautiful music."

Xia Ran couldn't help but feel curious. She thought that couples should understand each other's preferences more, so she asked, "What kind of music?"

"Teacher Xia, would you like to hear it? This is an exclusive, live performance. I'll record a short clip and send it to you."

Lu Zhaoyang opened the voice recording function, recorded a short clip of Wang Xiao's thunderous snoring beside him, and sent it over.

After a full twenty seconds, Xia Ran sent three question marks in a row.

Lu Zhaoyang was afraid that his laughter would wake Wang Xiao, who was sleeping soundly next to him, so he tried his best to hold it in, but he almost couldn't control himself and nearly burst out laughing.

He covered his mouth and took a while to calm down before typing out the whole story.

After chatting for a while longer, Wang Xiao, who was beside them, was still fast asleep.

Lu Zhaoyang wondered if he should go home and prepare some food while he was there.

This old classmate drove recklessly all the way, and now he's taken a long nap. He'll probably be hungry when he wakes up.

But then he thought, with the car running and the air conditioning on, he was still a little worried about leaving him alone to sleep in the car.

Although it's unlikely that anything will go wrong, there's no rush to eat.

Having figured all this out, Lu Zhaoyang continued playing chess calmly.

What he didn't expect was that before he knew it, evening had arrived.

As the sun slowly set and dusk fell, Wang Xiao finally woke up.

Hearing the noise, Lu Zhaoyang's back and waist were already aching from sitting in the car.

Turning his head, he saw Wang Xiao looking around with a dazed expression, as if he was trying hard to recall how he ended up there.

Lu Zhaoyang glanced at his phone and said with a smile, "My dear Xiao-ge, you slept like a log. If I had known you were going to sleep this long, I would have gone to buy groceries first, so we could have eaten right when you opened your eyes. What's wrong, still half asleep? Do you remember what happened?"

Wang Xiao scratched his neck, then rubbed it again, and said, "It's not that I blacked out, I'm just extremely tired. By the way, Lao Lu, where have you brought me? Is this a village?"

As he spoke, Wang Xiao stretched out a big yawn and hummed comfortably.

I slept so well that my mood naturally improved.

He looked around the window, a hint of surprise in his voice, "You're not really planning to sell me, are you?"

"Sell it to you?"

Lu Zhaoyang turned off the car engine, turned to look at him, and joked, "With all that fat on you, even if I wanted to sell you, someone would have to be willing to buy you. At most, only your kidneys would be worth a few bucks."

After saying that, Lu Zhaoyang got out of the car and stretched. Then he said to his old classmate in the car, "Get out of the car, we're home. This is my home."

Wang Xiao followed closely behind, opening the car door and looking around at the surrounding bungalows and courtyards. His face was filled with disbelief: "This is your home? When did you buy this house? Why is it a bungalow? If you were short of money, why didn't you tell me? I could have lent you some. Living in a place like this, aren't you afraid of not finding a girlfriend?!"

Wang Xiao looked serious, and it was clear that he was genuinely angry this time, annoyed that his old classmate was treating him like a stranger.

Lu Zhaoyang remained silent for a moment, a warm feeling welling up in his heart.

In his old classmates' memories, he is still the person who came from the countryside and worked hard in the outside world.

Buying a house and starting a family is no small expense.

Moreover, once lent out, it's usually not something that can be repaid in a short time.

It can take anywhere from two or three years to seven or eight years, which is not surprising.

Even so, Wang Xiao did not hesitate and took the initiative to offer to borrow money.

How could Lu Zhaoyang not be moved by such affection?

"Brother Xiao, it's actually not quite what you think..."

During his university years, Lu Zhaoyang dared not say how much knowledge he had acquired.

But the friendship I have with my roommates is something I will cherish for a lifetime.

"Old Lu, you never really considered us brothers..."

"Brother Xiao, you've really misunderstood. Why don't we go inside first, I'll make you a cup of tea, and then we can talk?"

As Lu Zhaoyang spoke, he unlocked the door with his fingerprint and opened it.

"What kind of tea do you want? I've come all this way just to drink tea with you...?"

Wang Xiao walked to the door, still muttering with dissatisfaction.

But when he saw the scene in the courtyard, he was instantly stunned, and two words unconsciously uttered from his mouth:

Holy crap!
