In This Life, I Will Extremely Pamper My Short-Lived Husband-Chapter 244: Are You Not Coming Back to Sleep?
Chapter 244: Chapter 244: Are You Not Coming Back to Sleep?
Because Xie Yanchuan had just finished rinsing, his mouth still carried a hint of the coolness of mint, and his face had a touch of chill as well.
When he suddenly drew close, Xu Jinzhi felt the coolness and couldn’t help but move back.
Xie Yanchuan smiled gently, "It’s still early. I’ll be going out to teach soon. Do you want to sleep a little longer?"
Xu Jinzhi hesitated for a moment, then looked up at Xie Yanchuan, "How about I go to class with you?"
She wanted to stay with Xie Yanchuan.
Xu Xieyanchuan didn’t refuse, just showed some doubts, "Won’t you be bored?"
The content he taught during his lectures was something she wouldn’t understand. Moreover, the back and forth time would add up to almost three hours.
"Of course not, our Professor Xie’s classes are so interesting, how could I feel bored?" Xu Jinzhi said seriously.
"Then we should get up now," Xie Yanchuan laughed.
Xu Jinzhi nodded, got out of Xie Yanchuan’s arms, and quickly walked to the bathroom in her slippers.
After they got ready, they came down from upstairs, first played with Sui Sui for a while, then Xie Yanchuan hurried Xu Jinzhi to have breakfast with Tuantuan.
Sui Sui was about to be five months old, and these past few days he had started to try eating complementary foods, so Xie Yanchuan was preparing to feed Sui Sui some.
Sui Sui cooperated quite well, but it wasn’t clear whether he disliked the complementary foods or not, as he didn’t eat much before refusing to eat any more.
Xie Yanchuan didn’t continue to feed him to avoid Sui Sui feeling uncomfortable from overeating.
After taking care of Sui Sui, Xie Yanchuan finally sat down at the dining table for breakfast.
At that time, Xu Jinzhi was telling Tuantuan that she and Xie Yanchuan were both very busy today and wouldn’t be back for dinner, asking Tuantuan to eat well after coming home from school and then to sleep well.
Tuantuan asked with some dissatisfaction, "Won’t you even be back when it’s time to sleep?"
"Uh." Xu Jinzhi felt strangely embarrassed for a moment, paused, and then continued, "That’s not certain, we might come back quite late."
Although Xu Jinzhi also wanted to spend quality time alone with Xie Yanchuan, it seemed inappropriate not to return with Sui Sui being so young.
"Alright," Tuantuan reluctantly agreed.
After breakfast, Xie Yanchuan drove the family of three out.
Once Tuantuan was handed over to Teacher Xiao Huang at the kindergarten gate, Xu Jinzhi quickly left and returned to the car.
This time, Xu Jinzhi sat in the passenger seat, buckled her seatbelt, and said to Xie Yanchuan with a smile, "Let’s go."
Xie Yanchuan just smiled lightly, then drove away.
The A University campus was still the familiar setting. Xie Yanchuan parked the car, and the two of them walked toward the office building together, as Xie Yanchuan’s teaching materials were still in the office.
They encountered quite a few students along the way. Those who recognized Xie Yanchuan and now saw a woman walking beside him in an intimate manner couldn’t help but look at them curiously.
Some of them soon realized that the woman accompanying Professor Xie was Professor Xie’s wife.
As they reached the office building and turned from the staircase into the corridor, they immediately saw Dean Zhao standing down the hall.
The three of them had seen each other, and various thoughts flashed through their minds in an instant.
After a brief pause, Xie Yanchuan and Xu Jinzhi continued to walk forward until they stopped in front of Dean Zhao and greeted him first.
Then Xie Yanchuan asked, "Dean Zhao, did you want to see me for something?"
Dean Zhao smiled somewhat perfunctorily, "Yes, there is a bit of business with you."
Knowing Xie Yanchuan’s schedule, Dean Zhao had purposely waited here, but he had not expected that Xie Yanchuan would bring his wife along today.
Xie Yanchuan opened an office door nearby and said in a low voice to Xu Jinzhi, "Go in and wait for me for a bit."
Xu Jinzhi hesitated, feeling that Xie Yanchuan’s behavior seemed somewhat inappropriate.
After all, they were supposed to discuss business, and in such cold winter weather, it seemed strange for a person with no involvement to wait inside an office while the actual business discussion took place in the hallway, blasted by the cold wind.
But Xie Yanchuan didn’t see anything wrong with it and continued, "It’ll be quick."
Seeing this, Xu Jinzhi didn’t know what else to say and reluctantly went into the office.
The door closed behind her, and Xu Jinzhi looked back, unable to see anything, but for some reason, she felt that something was odd.

Dean Zhao frowned and spoke seriously, "Yanchuan, there’s no need to beat around the bush. What exactly are you thinking?"
Xie Yanchuan knew what Dean Zhao was referring to. He glanced at the closed door and quickly averted his eyes, responding calmly, "Dean, I believe I’ve already made my position clear to you before."
When he had opted to run for his current position, Dean Zhao had already inquired about his intentions, and at that time, Xie Yanchuan had fully disclosed his thoughts.
Dean Zhao’s brow was still furrowed, "But why? Why have you suddenly become unwilling even to enter the lab?"
Dean Zhao couldn’t understand. A man so engrossed in his lab work was now avoiding it, and Dean Zhao truly wanted to know why!
"It’s just that I’m temporarily at a loss, not knowing which direction to take my research next," Xie Yanchuan said.
"But several months have passed, haven’t you figured it out yet?" Dean Zhao pressed anxiously.
Perhaps because the soundproofing was poor, Xu Jinzhi could faintly hear the outside conversation from the office.
Xu Jinzhi also knew about this issue, as Xie Yanchuan’s reason given to her was the same.
But Xu Jinzhi was also puzzled, wondering what had actually happened to Xie Yanchuan. Was the reason really as he stated, that he had not found the right research direction?
Xu Jinzhi didn’t know whether Xie Yanchuan was telling the truth.
So Xu Jinzhi listened quietly, wanting to hear if Xie Yanchuan would say anything else.
However, in the end, Xie Yanchuan couldn’t come up with any other reason nor did he agree to go back to the lab to help, instead ending the conversation completely by citing the excuse that class was about to start.
When the office door opened, Dean Zhao had already left, and when Xie Yanchuan walked in, he glanced at Xu Jinzhi. He knew she must have heard his conversation with Dean Zhao.
However, Xie Yanchuan didn’t say much, merely remarking that it was time, and after a quick pack-up, he took his laptop, teaching materials, and Xu Jinzhi, and they left the office together.
During class, Xu Jinzhi was still seated in the last row, but even from that last row, she drew quite a few looks.
Yet Xu Jinzhi remained calm, Xie Yanchuan was calm as well, and the uneasy students had no choice but to pretend to be calm.
