Chapter 130: Inexplicably ruined reputation
Chapter 130: Inexplicably ruined reputation
She was just joking.
She knew that every year at this time of year, Professor Feng would be tempted by the persimmon tree he passed by and would look for persimmons to buy everywhere.
This time should be no exception, but?
Why buy so much?
Professor Feng choked at first, then gave up and confessed, "Yes, I went directly to the door to beg."
Professor Xu glanced at Professor Feng sideways, not believing him. He thought he was joking and said with a smile, "That person is really kind-hearted. He didn't even let the dog bite you."
As she spoke, she reached into Professor Feng's pocket. It was true that she felt greedy as she passed by.
Professor Xu picked up a persimmon and immediately felt something was wrong.
These persimmons are a bit small. I looked into the pocket and saw that they were of different sizes and qualities. They didn't look like the ones sold in the market, but rather like they were picked at home.
Thinking of what he just said, Professor Xu's face turned strange. "No, you really couldn't help but come to ask for it?"
Professor Xu took a half step back, indicating that he was drawing a clear line between them.
Greedy old man!
Professor Feng couldn't help but laugh at her expression, shaking his head. "What are you thinking about? Turns out that family moved away, and my student lives there now. She saw me passing by and offered to give me some."
He never mentioned that he was the one who called Ye Ke first, let alone that he accepted it without even any push or pull.
Professor Xu's eyes curved with laughter: "What a coincidence! It just happened to benefit your mouth."
The original residents of the villa were not teachers at the college. Not to mention knowing each other, they had never even greeted each other, so naturally they would not care why the other person suddenly sold the house and moved away.
Professor Xu was curious about the students Professor Feng mentioned. "How could there be students who took the initiative to approach you?"
Although she didn't know Ye Ke yet, in her opinion, the act of sending persimmons was a way of expressing closeness to Professor Feng, which was very strange!
Even though Professor Feng is her elder, she would still make a fair and impartial comment that Professor Feng is not as popular among students as she is.
Professor Feng is a righteous and serious person. His teaching ability is unquestionable, but he always speaks harshly in class. Although his starting point is for the good of the students, children of this age will instinctively prefer teachers who are kinder and more humorous.
Like her.
So while Professor Xu was curious, he also had a preconceived good impression of Ye Ke.
I think he must be a kind and sincere child!
"Haha, my student is so silly!" Professor Feng shook his head slightly, looking disgusted as if he was embarrassed to mention it, but a smile was clearly revealed in his eyes.
Professor Xu curled his lips. "Are you still pretending with her? As if you're afraid she'll snatch the student away!"
The two of them walked back to the house, and Professor Xu found a basket and gently placed the persimmons in it. The number was far more than she had seen, and one basket could not hold them all!
"Are you afraid you've plucked out all the trees?"
What? You want to make up for what you didn't eat before in one go?
Professor Feng finally freed his hands and waved them, "I told you my student is honest and straightforward. She insisted on giving this to me!"
There was a blatant boast in his tone.
Professor Xu enjoys exploring new things and is well-suited to the student body. Whenever students encounter something delicious or fun, they often let Professor Xu know or bring some for him.
Usually it is Professor Xu who shows off at home, but this time it is finally his turn!
Seeing the clear disbelief on Professor Xu's face, he immediately and anxiously described what had happened.
"Oh! This little girl is so funny!" Professor Xu laughed so hard that he couldn't stop and wiped the corners of his eyes where tears were welling up from laughing.
Just listening to the description was very interesting, and the image of a lively, smart and cheerful little girl immediately appeared in her mind.
Professor Xu glared at Professor Feng and said, "The little girl is smart and sensible, not as naive as you say!"
He is a professor of Chinese, but this summary is so inappropriate!
Professor Feng touched his nose when she questioned him. "Don't worry, I haven't finished yet!"
To support his argument, he recounted the incident where Ye Ke had insisted on helping him move books.
Professor Xu laughed heartily and concluded with a comment, "How interesting! Invite her home for dinner sometime!"
But I didn't refute Professor Feng's previous evaluation!
Ye Ke, whose reputation was inexplicably ruined, sneezed, reached out and picked another persimmon, then looked at the full bag and finally stopped. He would pick the remaining ones on Friday and take them home then!
Ye Ke took out a small half of a large bag of persimmons and left it to the renovation workers in the villa. She carried the remaining half bag to find Lin Shuwan next door.
Although Lin Shuwan's villa has been renovated, many daily necessities have not been prepared yet. At present, Zhang's mother is busy cleaning, organizing and purchasing every day, and has not yet started cooking in the kitchen.
Ye Ke left some persimmons for Aunt Zhang and told Lin Shuwan to hurry back to school, otherwise she would have to eat leftovers from the cafeteria.
Lin Shuwan said goodbye to the kitten reluctantly. They were in the passionate period of love now. The kitten clung tightly to its owner and kept meowing coquettishly.
Lin Shuwan stole a glance at Ye Ke.
Ye Ke refused coldly, "Don't even think about it, pets are not allowed in the dormitory!"
They also check the dormitories every day, and they always catch the kittens that stay in there.
Lin Shuwan was also agitated by the kitten's cry. After regaining her senses, she put her hand on the kitten's head and said, "I'll come to see you tomorrow!"
On the way back, Lin Shuwan asked curiously, "Don't you want to have a pet or something?"
Ye Ke thought for a moment and replied, "Yes, but I don't have time to take care of her now. I'll wait until I graduate!"
In her previous life, Ye Ke had always wanted a pet, especially after Ye Wenhui's death, when she lived alone. Although she still kept in close contact with the rest of her family, every time she returned to her empty home, she desperately wanted a companion.
However, because she was too busy with work and often went on business trips, she would give up the idea every time she thought of it. She was not in a position to take good care of a pet.
Lin Shuwan just asked casually, and then started chattering with Ye Ke about naming the kitten.
She said, "We picked up this kitten together, so of course we had to name it together!"
Lin Shuwan lowered her head guiltily after she finished speaking. In fact, she was bad at naming. After racking her brains, she could only think of names like Xiaoju, Xiaohuang, and Mimi.
Ye Ke scratched his chin, "How about calling me Puff?"
The little orange cat is a little sister, soft and cute, and as sweet as a puff. And its fur is light yellow. It squats on the ground in a small ball, and looks like a puff from a distance.
Lin Shuwan's eyes lit up and she clapped her hands in praise, "What a great name! I happen to like eating puffs, and this name sounds like something I'd raise!"
Ye Ke smiled slightly. She thought so too. Just follow the master!
