Ye Zi looked at Li Mingyuan like a monster and said after a long time,

"Professor, how old are you this year?"

"Are you sure you want to ask this question?" Li Mingyuan stared at Ye Zi and asked with a faint smile, his eyebrows soft.

Ye Zi suddenly thought of what the professor had said, and she would naturally find out if she became his girlfriend.

So if she really asked this question and the professor really answered her, it meant that she was already determined to be his girlfriend.

Alas, it seems that questions cannot be asked casually.

"Haha, that... I'll think about it again, think about it!" Ye Zi responded with a silly smile.

Li Mingyuan did not force it. Anyway, the future is long and there is no rush.

This bottle of potion was finished quickly.

Ye Zi thought that the three days of torture were finally over. It was really not easy.

It didn't matter that she accompanied the professor to get an intravenous drip, but the professor looked so aloof every time he inserted or pulled the needle, and she couldn't help but sympathize.

Get him up.

"Professor, how do you feel now? Is there anything that still feels uncomfortable? Do you want to check again?" Ye Zi pressed the professor's hand and closed it.

asked earnestly.

"Do you want me to continue the intravenous drip for a few more days?" Li Mingyuan glanced at her and asked.

"Of course not!" Ye Zi suddenly shook his head like a rattle.

"Then let's go, I'm very sure that there is no problem with my body!" Li Mingyuan smiled, held her hand and walked out of the infusion room.

Ye Zi followed the professor a little cautiously.

She kept staring at the professor's hand holding hers, looking at it as if that hand was not her own.

"What are you looking at?" Li Mingyuan followed Ye Zi's gaze and looked at the hands they were holding, and asked with a smile.

"Nothing!" Ye Zi immediately raised his head and replied with a dry smile.

"You still have some time now. Do you want to go shopping somewhere? Don't you want to buy gifts for your parents?"

"Professor is very busy!"

In fact, what she meant was that Professor, you are too busy, so don't accompany me. I can just go shopping by myself.

The next second I heard the professor say,

"With so little time left, where do you want to go first?" Li Mingyuan asked, staring at her.

Ye Zi suddenly felt like she was about to cry without tears. Could she say that she was going to the night market or to Student Street?

It's totally fine for her to go shopping by herself, but if she goes with the professor, she's pretty sure that she won't have to wait until tomorrow. She will be a bbs in school tonight.

made headlines and became the public enemy of all the girls in the school!

This is really a very dangerous thing, basically similar to carrying nitroglycerine with you.

"Go...go to Century Square!" Ye Zi said bravely.

Century Plaza has a better environment, and has a variety of food, clothing, and supplies, but the prices are not that appealing.

But she can just watch and buy it, and the probability of meeting acquaintances there shouldn't be that high.

So the two of them got in the car and went to visit Century Plaza.

She originally wanted to buy a set of thermal underwear and a jacket for her father, and a cashmere sweater and a pair of trousers for her mother.

But the premise is that the total price of these cannot exceed 2,000 yuan.

But I estimate that the price of a piece of clothing in Century Plaza will exceed this price.

So she can look at the clothing styles for reference and then just buy them.

"What are you going to buy for your parents?" Li Mingyuan asked.

"The Spring Festival is coming, so it's more practical to buy some clothes and shoes for my parents." Ye Zi answered truthfully while looking at the exhibits in the window.

"Would you like to go into this store and have a look?" Li Mingyuan asked Ye Zi, pointing to an international brand counter nearby.

"This store is not suitable, let's look at other places!" Ye Zi said immediately.

It looked like it was not something she could afford. She would be despised if she went in, so forget it.

Li Mingyuan did not refute, and continued to walk forward with her with a smile.

At this time, Ye Zi saw that the top worn by a male model in the window was very good-looking, and it almost appeared in his mind that the professor would look like wearing this dress.

What a picture.

Then he reflexively pointed to the piece of clothing and said to Li Mingyuan,

"Professor, this dress will look great on you!"

"Then go in and give it a try!" After Li Mingyuan finished speaking, he took Ye Zi's hand and entered the counter.

The shopping guide lady came forward to receive you.

"Is the dark green casual suit worn by the model outside available in size XXL?" Li Mingyuan asked.

"Yes, that is a new item that just arrived today. It is a limited edition. There is only one item in each size. Currently, there is only one size L and one size XXL left. Please take a seat.

Wait a moment, I'll go pick it up." After the shopping guide lady said that, she went into the warehouse to pick up the coat.

"Um...Professor, I'm just talking casually!" Ye Zi tugged on Li Mingyuan's sleeve and whispered.

"Do you think it won't look good on me?" Li Mingyuan looked at her and asked with a smile.

"No, no, I just think the clothes here are not cheap!"

"Afraid I can't afford it?"

"That... is not..." Well, she did feel that the things here were not affordable for ordinary people.

But Mai Ziqi said that although the professor's car is low-key, it still costs millions.

So no matter how expensive the clothes here are, it shouldn't be a problem for the professor. She is just unfounded.

The shopping guide quickly took out the dress in size XXL.

Li Mingyuan took off his coat and handed it to Ye Zi, who hugged him reflexively.

Then she watched the professor undress and try on clothes in front of her.

Oh, she thought too much, she just took off her coat to teach knowledge.

Li Mingyuan put on a dark green suit, then turned around, faced Ye Zi and asked with a smile,

"Does it fit?"

Ye Zi looked at the professor in a daze, and after a while he nodded vigorously.

The professor happened to be wearing a black shirt today. Paired with this dark green casual suit, it made him look like a tree in the wind, and his face was like a crown jewel.

"It's beautiful, it's beautiful, it's really——" Ye Zi's voice was a little low, as if he was speaking for himself to hear, and his cheeks were a little red because of excitement.

red.

"Please, help me wrap up this room. Swipe your card!" Li Mingyuan took off his clothes, handed it to the shopping guide, took back his coat and

said.

When he got his coat back, he whispered into Ye Zi's ear,

"I like your gift very much!"

Ye Zi immediately fortified the situation.

Gift?

When did she say she was going to give him a gift?

Even if she wants to give it away, she won't give it away, okay?

Because she simply can't afford it.

But before she could react, the professor had already swiped the card and handed the paper bag to her to carry.

Then he held her hand and walked out of the counter.

Ye Zi felt like she wanted to cry but had no tears.

Why is she carrying the paper bag?

If the professor was her boyfriend, wouldn't the professor want to carry her?

Well, she is still in the considering stage. Basically, she is an hourly worker in the professor's apartment and a porter when going out, so don't be picky.

Next, Li Mingyuan took her to visit several boutiques.

He said he bought it for his parents and asked her to help him choose.

So Ye Zi picked a few items, and while picking and returning them, he told Li Mingyuan that the things he bought for his parents must be practical, and forget about fancy things.

After choosing a style, he asked Li Mingyuan what sizes his parents usually wore.

Li Mingyuan asked her smoothly,

"What sizes do your parents wear?"

"My dad wears size L, and my mom wears size M?" Ye Zi responded, and the next second he turned around and asked, "Are your parents the same as mine?"

"It's different now, but maybe it will be the same in the future!" Li Mingyuan responded calmly.

Ye Zi blinked, then blinked again, and finally lowered her head, okay, she was overthinking.

In fact, what the professor was talking about was just the size of the clothes.

Finally, they walked around until the mall was about to close, and then left.

Shopping is also a very physical thing, because Ye Zi already feels hungry at this moment.

But if she doesn't go back to school, the dormitory door will be closed.

It's almost eleven o'clock.

"professor--"

"What do you want to eat?" Li Mingyuan turned around and asked.

"No, I want to say that it's almost eleven o'clock and the door to my dormitory is about to close." Ye Zi said anxiously.

"If it's closed, just live in my apartment. I can sleep in the study!" Li Mingyuan responded.

"No, we don't have that kind of relationship!" Ye Zi objected immediately.

"what relationship?"

"The relationship between boyfriend and girlfriend!" Ye Zi was very determined at this moment.

"Then what are we now? A teacher-student relationship?" Li Mingyuan was not irritated, but smiled lightly, raised the hand he and Ye Zi were shaking, and asked in return

sentence.

"Even if we are boyfriend and girlfriend, it's not okay. My mother said we can't live together before marriage!" Ye Zi defended in a low voice.

Li Mingyuan looked at Ye Zi steadily, then smiled and said,

"Ye Zi, my mother will definitely like you, you are such an obedient daughter."

"..." Professor, you are going too far!

In the end, Li Mingyuan sent Ye Zi back first, but bought steamed buns on the way, and the two of them shared the food in the car.

Ye Zi held a big bun in both hands. After taking a bite, he put it to Li Mingyuan's mouth.

Li Mingyuan also took a bite and said, "It's a little greasy!"

Ye Zi looked at Li Mingyuan and laughed because he had a green onion leaf on his nose.

I took a piece of tissue and wiped it with Li Mingyuan.

Li Mingyuan smiled and let Ye Zi wipe his face.

The two of them shared a big meat bun, and Ye Zi ate a tea egg.

"The tea eggs here are really delicious and delicious!" Ye Zi put the eggshells into the bag and said, clapped his hands, and wiped them with tissue paper.

refer to.

"Is it delicious?" Li Mingyuan asked with a smile.

"Yes, it's very delicious." Ye Zi nodded and replied.

"Let me try-"

"You said no, I only bought one!" Ye Zi turned around and said.

The next second he fell into Li Mingyuan's kiss, and his eyes widened immediately.

Not only did it take a while, Ye Zi slowly closed his eyes, his heart beating very fast, as if it would jump out in the next second.

His hands were helplessly tugging at Li Mingyuan's clothes.

Li Mingyuan finally parted her lips and responded with a low smile,

“It tastes really good!”

Ye Zi's face suddenly turned red.

The car stopped near the girls' dormitory building, and Ye Zi hurriedly got out of the car.

"Ye Zi——" Li Mingyuan pulled her and said softly, "Those clothes in the back are all bought for your parents, don't dislike them!"

Ye Zi was stunned for a moment, looking at Li Mingyuan, his eyes suddenly turned red.

"I do not want!"

"I don't have any other intention. I just see that you are so filial, so I want to share some of your burdens with you."

"I can buy it myself. I have money. You can take it back to your parents!"

"My dad wears the same size as me, and is a little bigger than me. My mom wears size S, and none of these sizes fit them."

"Then take it and return it!"

"Be obedient, my first performance may be a little clumsy, but don't refuse, okay?" Li Mingyuan stared at her and said softly.

Ye Zi looked into Li Mingyuan's eyes, held his tongue and remained silent.

"I'll get out of the car and give it to you!" After Li Mingyuan said that, he opened the door and got out of the car on the other side.

"Don't-" Ye Zi grabbed Li Mingyuan's hand almost reflexively, paused and then said, "I'll take it myself. Don't get out of the car, everyone."

Everyone recognizes you!"

"I'm so shameless!" Li Mingyuan said with a smile.

"I'm still thinking about it!" Ye Zi said in a low voice.

"Okay, you continue to think about it, and when you have finished thinking about it, just inform me of the result. Except for the one you picked for me, don't take it away with me. The rest are for you."

Your parents bought it, don’t leave it behind.”

"I understand, thank you, professor, and good night!" After Ye Zi finished speaking, he got out of the car.

Yang Ming walked to the back of the car and helped her open the trunk. He took out several paper bags from the trunk. Ye Zi took a look and took the dark green bag containing the professor's bag.

The paper bag containing the casual suit was put back, while the others were carried in his hands.

After thanking Yang Ming, Ye Zi walked towards the girls' dormitory building.

After arriving at the gate, she turned around and saw that Li Mingyuan's car was still there. She raised her hand and waved before entering the dormitory building.

Ye Zi returned to the dormitory and put the paper bags on the desk. He planned to tidy up the closet first and then make a space to put these paper bags.

"Ye Zi, you went shopping!" Su Ling walked in from the balcony and asked with a smile.

"I went shopping for a while and bought some clothes for my parents." Ye Zi responded.

"I got my salary today!"

"Yes, I got paid today." But these clothes didn't cost her money.

She actually didn't want these clothes because they were too expensive.

She wants to buy gifts for her parents, but only if they are within her ability.

And these clothes are obviously beyond her ability to pay.

"Wow, you bought such nice clothes for your parents!" Mai Ziqi walked over, took the paper bag and suddenly exclaimed.

"I want to buy something better for my parents!"

"You are so rich. Any piece of this brand costs tens of thousands. How much will it cost if you buy so many of them?"

"No...it's not that expensive!" Ye Zi was a little stunned and said with his tongue tied.

"It's strange that it's not expensive. You can tell just by looking at the label!" Mai Ziqi said directly.

Ye Zi took out his mother's coat from one of the paper bags without seeing the label.

"For such good clothes, the labels are usually in the pocket!" Mai Ziqi reminded.

Ye Zi went to dig into his pocket and still didn't see the label.

The other items are the same, all without labels.

"Ye Zi, you didn't buy the A-grade product, did you?" Mai Ziqi suddenly said with a smile.

"What is a piece of shit?" Ye Zi asked puzzledly.

"It's just a knockoff, but the quality is so good, it looks like a good imitation! How much does one piece cost?"

"I spent all my salary today." Ye Zi said vaguely.

“But looking at the quality, it’s worth it!”

"As long as the quality is good!" Ye Zi folded the clothes and put them in a paper bag, feeling like a hot potato.

She doesn't have that status yet, so wearing such expensive clothes always looks like a child wearing adult clothes, which is completely inappropriate.

But what to do now?

Ye Zi felt his head hurt.

After taking a shower in the dark, I got into bed.

Ye Zi still couldn't help but send a text message to the professor,

"Professor, are you asleep?"

"Not yet, what's wrong?"

"Professor, let me return those clothes. They are really too expensive. It's not good for you to spend so much money!"

"Ye Zi, I asked the shopping guide to cut the label when I paid for it. How do you want to return it?"

Ye Zi looked at the text message and didn't know whether he was moved or speechless.

Li Mingyuan should have thought that she might refuse from the beginning, so he asked the shopping guide to cut off the labels.

She couldn't return the cut once she got it, and she didn't know how much it cost.

Unless she made a special trip to the counter to ask for each item one by one.

Ye Zi didn't know how to reply to the professor's text message.

She suddenly felt that after receiving such an expensive gift from the professor, she didn't know what kind of answer she would give the professor after considering it.

What will happen to these things if she refuses to teach them?

But if she can't accept it after thinking about it, how can she say no after she has already accepted these gifts from the professor?

The cell phone rang suddenly.

Ye Zi was startled, picked it up and saw that it was the professor calling.

She suddenly lowered her voice and answered like a thief,

"Hello--"

"Ye Zi, just listen to what I say now. When I need you to respond, just say something and I will know."

"good!"

"Don't have any psychological burden on those clothes. Compared to your filial piety, that little money is really nothing.

Just like your mother taught you the philosophy of life, my dad once said that problems that can be solved with money are not problems, and things that can be bought with money are not the most precious.

On the contrary, it is those things that cannot be bought with money that need to be truly cherished and cared for, such as your filial piety and beautiful love.

I bought these things for you today. I really lacked consideration and didn't take your feelings into consideration.

I will pay attention to it in the future and won’t do it again, okay?” Li Mingyuan reassured on the other end of the phone.

"Okay!" Ye Zi responded quietly, feeling a warm current surge in his heart.

"Then let's forget it this time and don't worry about it, okay?" There was a faint smile in Li Mingyuan's voice.

"Okay!" Ye Zi responded again.

"Go to sleep. I originally wanted to take you to watch the stars at night, but you insisted on going back, so I have to wait until later!"

"Is it clear to see the stars with an astronomical telescope?"

"You'll know next time when you see it yourself!" Li Mingyuan said with a smile.

"oh!"

"Go to sleep. I have a business trip tomorrow and can't accompany you anymore. You can pass the time by yourself. The final exam is coming soon, so work hard!"

"Thank you. Good night!" After Ye Zi said that, he quickly hung up the phone.

She was so carried away just now that she almost blurted out and called her professor out of habit.

"Ye Zi, who are you talking to? Where are the astronomical telescopes?" Mai Ziqi had just finished applying the facial mask, climbed into bed, and asked with a smile.

"A friend, he said to use an astronomical telescope to see the stars." Ye Zi responded.

As the saying goes, after you tell a lie, you have to tell more lies to cover it up.

And hiding something from one person is sometimes almost the same amount of hard work!

"Then your friend must be very rich. That telescope is not cheap!"

"I don't know, I haven't seen it either!" Ye Zi replied with a smile, turned off his phone, turned off the lamp, and prepared to go to bed.

The professor is going on a business trip again tomorrow. I just forgot to ask him how many days he will be away.

Oh, it's not convenient for her to ask in the dormitory.

I'll text the professor tomorrow and ask.

"Hey, Zi Qi, have you seen the new posts on the school's BBS?" Su Ling, who was browsing the page on her mobile phone, turned around and asked.

"No, what's the new post?" Mai Ziqi asked with a smile.

"Someone saw Professor Li's Phaeton parked near our girls' dormitory. Everyone is wondering why Professor Li's car appeared near our girls' dormitory at such a late hour?!" Su Ling said with a smile.

Ye Zi's heart skipped a beat when she heard this, she must have not been seen!

"Send the beauty back!" Mai Ziqi said with a smile.

"By the way, didn't you say that the professor has several girlfriends? How many do he have? What do they look like? Why are there not even any photos?" Zhenzhen couldn't help but join in the gossip.

"There were some photos before. Later, a bolder girl asked Professor Li half-jokingly after class. He said that the people in the photos were his elder sister and younger sister!"

"Real or false?" Su Ling didn't believe it.

"I don't know, but someone compared the facial features and they are indeed quite similar." Mai Ziqi responded.

"I also heard that some time ago, a department beauty went to confess to Professor Li, but was rejected."

"You're talking about the beauty of the Chinese Department, right? That woman has been obsessed with Professor Li since her freshman year. It's not news at all."

"How many years has Professor Li been at our university?" Ye Zi suddenly asked such a question.

"Two years." Mai Ziqi responded. "It is said that she came back to China from a prestigious foreign school with a high salary!"

"Zi Qi, you really know everything!"

"Of course, I am also a standard plum, okay?"

"Plum?" Ye Zi was puzzled.

"That's the nickname of Professor Li's fans!"

"Oh!" Ye Zi suddenly had a black line on his face.

"But I heard some explosive news recently, but I don't know if it's true or not!" Mai Ziqi said in a pretentious way.

"What news?" Su Ling and Ye Zi asked at the same time.

"Some people say that Professor Li looks very similar to Li Yumin, the chairman of L&M Group. How should I put it? Like a younger version of Li Yumin!"

"Really?"

"I don't know. Some people say so, but the official has not given a definite answer yet!"

"Professor Li can't be that chairman's illegitimate son who lives among the people!" Su Ling suddenly said in shock.

"You must have seen too much of Princess Huanzhu!" Su Ziqi suddenly laughed.

Ye Zi couldn't help but laugh.

“Professor Li’s temperament, restraint, and demeanor don’t look like an illegitimate child at all!

If there is really any relationship between the two of them, then the professor must be his son, and he is definitely a legitimate son!

By the way, Li Yumin and his wife, I heard that their first child was quadruplets! They have seven children in total! Be strong!"

Ye Zi suddenly remembered that when he accompanied the professor to get an intravenous drip the day before yesterday, the professor said that even if his father was not an overseas Chinese, his parents would not be fined for having so many children, and the state would also provide subsidies.

She couldn't figure it out at the time, but when she heard Mai Ziqi say this, she suddenly became enlightened.

Could it be that the professor is one of the quadruplets???

Ye Zi was suddenly as excited as if he had cracked Goldbach's conjecture. He took the phone and turned it on, and then sent a text message to the professor——

"Professor, you and your three sisters are quadruplets, right?"

Oh, ten minutes have passed and no one has responded to her!

The professor must have fallen asleep!

Alas, such excitement!

Ye Zi put the phone aside with some frustration, pulled up the quilt, closed his eyes and went to sleep.

Anyway, she would ask the professor the same thing after he came back from his business trip!

Li Mingyuan, who was in the apartment, looked at the text message and smiled!
