Taoist Master and the Cat - Chapter 122

Xie Jingyuan walked at the end. Before stepping out of the classroom, he stopped at the door, and scanned the faces of every boy in the classroom one by one.

Male toppers: “…”

The first seemed to be mentally ill, but that one also seemed to have some dangerous psychological problems.

Xie Jingyuan thought for a while, and said to Su Miaomiao, “If you encounter trouble, call me.”

Su Miaomiao nodded with a smile.

Only then did he leave.

Zhao Lu sat next to Su Miaomiao, and asked her in a low voice, “You and Xie Jingyuan are boyfriend and girlfriend, right?”

They met Xie Jingyuan on the first day of school, because he cared so much about Su Miaomiao, they also asked him the question.

What Xie Jingyuan said was that they were just friends who grew up together.

Could friends be considerate to that point?

Facing the three pairs of expectant and smiling eyes, the kind of familiar eyes implying that Su Miaomiao didn’t need to hide what they already knew, she thought for a while and admitted, “Yes.”

For three years in high school, Su Miaomiao was really tired of answering the question countless times. Anyway, if she denied it, people around her would continue to misunderstand her. It was better to admit it, lest everyone kept asking. She didn’t care about the false name.

Sure enough, Zhao Lu and the other three expressed their admiration for her and never questioned her.

The class was almost over, and Su Miaomiao received a message from her father saying that he was already in the cafeteria.

At the same time, Zhao Lu also asked her if she wanted to go to the cafeteria with them later.

Su Miaomiao: “No, I’m going to find my father, and I’ll eat with Xie Jingyuan and the others in the future.”

Zhao Lu and the three expressed their understanding.

After class, the students were still packing their bags. Xie Jingyuan called and asked Su Miaomiao to wait downstairs to pick her up.

She smiled, carried her bag and went downstairs with her three roommates. The roommates walked away arm in arm. Su Miaomiao stood on the side of the road, looking left and right for a while.

She was still not familiar with the campus of Beijing University, and she didn’t know where Xie Jingyuan and the others attend classes.

It was the end of class time, and students riding bicycles or walking rushed over like a flood, and they passed by Su Miaomiao.

Almost everyone noticed the girl in a white dress, with a shoulder-length ponytail, fair skin, and overly beautiful facial features.

She seemed to be waiting for someone, waiting obediently, without any impatience.

Suddenly, she smiled in one direction.

Someone followed her gaze and saw a group of students riding bicycles. Among them was a boy in a white shirt, like a moving light, who was a natural protagonist.

The boy stopped beside the girl.

It was amazing, but not surprising, as if such a beautiful girl should have such a boyfriend.

“Why doesn’t your bicycle have a basket?”

Su Miaomiao disliked Xie Jingyuan’s new bicycle. Without the basket, there was no place to put their bags. Xie Jingyuan was carrying his bag on his back, and she couldn’t even lean on him. Sitting upright was not comfortable at all.

Seeing that she was so dissatisfied, Xie Jingyuan first took off his bag and hung it on the handlebar, then put hers on it too, one black and one white.

Su Miaomiao was happy, jumped to the back seat of the bicycle, continued to wrap her arm around his waist with one hand, and put her head on it.

Xie Jingyuan glanced at the college students passing by, and set off on his bicycle.

“How was the morning? Was the class difficult?” Xie Jingyuan asked while riding.

Su Miaomiao: “It’s not difficult, English class is simpler, and many new words were the ones I learned before.”

Xie Jingyuan: “That’s good.”

After riding for a while, he suddenly heard her laugh, as if she was a little proud.

“What are you laughing at?” He glanced back.

Su Miaomiao told him about the incident where Zhao Lu asked if the two were boyfriend and girlfriend.

“Taoist Master, am I very smart? This way, no one will bother me in the future.”

Xie Jingyuan fell into silence.

He had no plan to marry and have children. It would be beneficial to bear the kind of misunderstanding, which would keep away those female students who were confused by his appearance, but she…

“You said that you will find someone to marry in the future. If this kind of misunderstanding spreads, you will have fewer suitors.” Xie Jingyuan reminded her, “Normal people would avoid meddling in other people’s feelings.”

Su Miaomiao looked at the nearby male college students, and said indifferently, “It’s okay, when my parents start urging me to get married, I will choose the guy myself. I don’t need them to pursue me.”

It was no use chasing her if she didn’t like him.

Xie Jingyuan: “If uncle and aunt won’t urge you, will you still choose?”

Su Miaomiao: “No, after marriage, two people sleep in the same bed. I like to sleep by myself.”

Xie Jingyuan: “…”

—

Su Mingan booked a ticket for two o’clock in the afternoon.

The parting was imminent, and the atmosphere at the table was a bit heavy.

Su Miaomiao was actually fine, her parents had been very busy with work since she was a child, and she went to bed early at night. The person who had been with her the longest was Xie Jingyuan.

Su Miaomiao liked her parents so much that although she was not interested in getting married, if her parents urged her to marry in the future, she would choose a suitable man to satisfy her parents’ wishes and not let them worry about her. However, Su Miaomiao prefered to stay with the Taoist master. When she was abroad, she missed the Taoist master more than her mother and Grandma Tao.

Since the Taoist master was at Beijing University, Su Miaomiao didn’t have much nostalgia for her home.
