CHAPTER 104 (1/2)

Open World 29

Sun Muqing thought he wasn’t intimidating enough and threatened, “I really will send the photos!”

Xie Xi had no expression on his face. “You are free to do so.” Then he turned and left.

Sun Muqing was angry and anxious. “You’re crazy! You don’t want a future!”

A future…

Xie Xi paled but his back was straight. He had nothing to fear! Even if he dropped out of school, he would study hard and continue to improve himself. University was important but not graduating from university didn’t mean his life was over.

In short… he would never give a person like Sun Muqing a chance!

Xie Xi walked home and it was only after entering that his straight back collapsed.

He leaned against the door and missed Jiang Xie. He wanted to see Jiang Xie, listen to him, kiss him and know how he was.

Xie Xi didn’t regret his decision. In fact, he had been prepared to face everything after deciding to stay with Jiang Xie. Dropping out of school was nothing. As long as he had income, he couldn’t be too greedy.

Xie Xi thought very clearly but he was still upset. He couldn’t even graduate from university. Was he worthy of Jiang Xie who was a professor?

They might be fine now but what about later? Would Jiang Xie despise him? If there was such a day…

Xie Xi became cold and the warmed up room felt unusually freezing.

Jiang Xie really rushed his work and it was one in the morning when he came home.

Xie Xi couldn’t sleep and was waiting on the sofa.

Jiang Xie was afraid that Xie Xi was already sleeping so he opened the door very lightly and his footsteps were extremely slow.

Xie Xi felt all his care and the chill in his heart instantly evaporated and drilled into his nose, bringing a burst of acidity.

Jiang Xie was taking off his coat when he saw Xie Xi on the sofa and became startled. “You aren’t asleep yet?”

Xie Xi got up and stared without blinking.

There was only a strip of light in the room and the warm yellow light didn’t allow them to see each other’s faces. Jiang Xie smiled, “Why? I didn’t come back so you couldn’t sleep?”

As he spoke, he walked over. Once he got near, he saw that the child was crying.

Jiang Xie’s heart was distressed as he immediately pulled Xie Xi into a hug. “What’s wrong? Where are you uncomfortable?”

They knew each other for a while and Jiang Xie knew that Xie Xi had a strong heart far beyond his peers. He never showed his fragile side apart from when they first met.

Xie Xi endured it but he finally couldn’t resist anymore. He smiled a bit and said, “I made a pot of porridge and I’ll go get you a bowl.” Jiang Xie definitely hadn’t eaten properly.

He was just turning to go when Jiang Xie pulled him back and asked, “What happened? Did you encounter something? Tell me.”

Xie Xi’s expression crumpled. He wanted to lower his head but he was afraid that tears would fall. “Teacher.”

Jiang Xie felt heartache. “What happened?”

Xie Xi spoke softly, “If I can’t graduate from university, you…”

He hadn’t finished speaking when Jiang Xie frowned and interrupted, “Why can’t you graduate?” He had seen Xie Xi’s efforts. This child was so persistent that it made people feel distressed but also reluctant to interfere.

Xie Xi liked this profession so much. How could he not graduate?

Xie Xi didn’t intend to conceal the matter with Sun Muqing. He sighed and repeated the words he exchanged with Sun Muqing today.

“He has photos in his hands. If it is released, it will be very troublesome for you.”

Thus, Xie Xi wanted to drop out? He would give up his studies to be with Jiang Xie?

Jiang Xie was stunned and stared at Xie Xi for a long time.

Xie Xi barely managed to smile. “It’s fine if I drop out. After all, this is Teacher and I can continue to learn. Didn’t you always say that you want to teach me alone? Then later on… please.”

Jiang Xie’s spirit finally returned. His eyes were distressed and full of love that could no longer be concealed. He whispered, “You little fool.” How could there be so a lovely yet strong little guy?

Such a good person actually gave his heart to Jiang Xie.

Jiang Xie was filled with words that he couldn’t express!

“I was going to tell you on your birthday.” Jiang Xie spoke in an incredibly gentle voice.

Xie Xi didn’t know what this had to do with his birthday and looked up. “What?”

Jiang Xie leaned over and kissed him on his forehead, eyes, nose and lips. “I have resigned.”

Xie Xi was stunned.

“I submitted my resignation application at the beginning of the semester but the procedure was a bit cumbersome. I had to continue teaching and it was dragged out until recently.”

Xie Xi’s face was instantly white and he tightly held onto Jiang Xie. “Why did you resign? How… how can you resign?”

Jiang Xie touched his nose. “Am I the type of person who will bully his student using his status as a teacher?”

Xie Xi heard the words but couldn’t understand what they meant.

“From the moment I confessed to you, I made plans to resign. I want to be your lover instead of your teacher.”

A teacher-student relationship was taboo and Jiang Xie wished to be with this child. How could he let Xie Xi bear this pressure?

Xie Xi was a freshman and it was several years before graduation? If Xie Xi hadn’t accepted his confession then he could wait. Now that Xie Xi had given all of his heart to Jiang Xie, how could he let the child down?

Four years contained too many variables. Jiang Xie couldn’t let anything happen to Xie Xi and decided to resign as soon as school started.

As long as he didn’t have the identity of a teacher, no one could stop them from falling in love.

Xie Xi spoke urgently, “Your career is rising and such a young professor is widely acclaimed. How can…”

Jiang Xie touched their foreheads together and smiled, “Nothing compares to you.”

Xie Xi’s eyes widened.

“You are only 19 years old and you’re tied to a 30 year old uncle. How can I let you be wronged?”
