[Now] I want to hold your hand tightly

Xu's mother heard Zhou Jisheng say "Professor Nie". Xu Haoran once mentioned to her that Professor Nie was Xu Haoran's tutor at Jingnan University and had always been good to Xu Haoran.But what Zhou Jisheng said just now contained obvious hatred in his tone.Although Xu's mother didn't know what Zhou Jisheng and Zhou's mother were talking about, she kept telling her that something happened.

Footsteps sounded behind her, Xu's mother suddenly turned her head, and Xu Haoran stood behind her with a serious face. Seeing her mother looking back at her worriedly, Xu Haoran put her hands gently on her mother's shoulders to reassure her.

"Hao Ran, did you hear that?"

Xu Haoran nodded, but didn't say a word to his mother.He didn't want his mother to worry, even though he now knew that his mother had seen the clues from the expression on his face, he was still trying his best to cover it up.

"Hao Ran, tell mom what happened. Is there any grievance between Xiao Zhou and Professor Nie, and what about Professor Lin?" Seeing that Xu Haoran had been focusing on Zhou Jisheng, Xu's mother was heartbroken. Hanging high.

Xu Haoran patted his mother on the shoulder: "Mom, it's okay, can you please prepare breakfast for us?"

Mother Xu didn't force her son, she nodded and walked towards the kitchen.

Xu Haoran waited for his mother to leave, then hurried out of the house and came to Zhou Jisheng's side.

Just as Zhou Jisheng hung up the phone, seeing Xu Haoran running towards him anxiously, he guessed that Xu Haoran might have heard what he said just now.

"Hao Ran..." Zhou Jisheng swallowed the words, he didn't know how to say it to Xu Haoran.It was he who brought Xu Haoran on this road, and now that something happened, Xu Haoran was the most innocent.

Xu Haoran looked at Zhou Jisheng's expression, he knew that what he had been worrying all along had come true.If it was before Zhou Jisheng went to Washington, Xu Haoran might have been afraid, but now he is no longer afraid, he is determined to walk this bumpy road with Zhou Jisheng, and he will never let go halfway.

"Did that thing come true?" Xu Haoran's calm voice surprised even himself.

"I'll go back today to understand the situation, and you'll come back when things stabilize." Zhou Jisheng clenched his fists. Since he graduated from Jingnan University, he has been avoiding factional struggles in Jingnan University. How could he have expected that? The self who had always wanted to stay out of things couldn't hide in the end.During the Spring Festival, when the whole family is reunited, on the first day of the New Year, Nie Mi and Professor Lin still refused to let them go.

Xu Haoran heard that Zhou Jisheng didn't want him to go back with him. Zhou Jisheng wanted to face the twists and turns in the future alone. Xu Haoran was grateful to Zhou Jisheng for taking care of him, but he preferred to stand side by side with Zhou Jisheng.

"I'll go back with you. The people involved in this matter are you and me. You can't just let you go alone." Xu Haoran grabbed Zhou Jisheng, who had almost pushed him away from him before. , now he can no longer lose Zhou Jisheng.He held Zhou Jisheng's hand tightly, fearing that he and Zhou Jisheng would be separated forever if he let go.

The eyes of the lover in front of him were firm, without any hesitation, Zhou Jisheng intertwined fingers with Xu Haoran in satisfaction, and embraced Xu Haoran into his arms.The sun seemed to have warmed up again, and Zhou Jisheng's cold heart was warmed by Xu Haoran again. He saw Xu's mother standing by the window in the house looking at him and Xu Haoran worriedly. Xu's mother also saw Zhou Jisheng's gaze, and secretly rolled her eyes Wiping away the tear stains on his face, he showed a faint smile to Zhou Jisheng.

Zhou Jisheng and Xu Haoran packed up their things and set off immediately after breakfast. Before leaving, Mother Xu gave Zhou Jisheng and Xu Haoran the dry goods that she had prepared by herself.When Zhou Jisheng loaded the dry goods on the car, Xu's mother pulled Xu Haoran aside, facing her son's puzzled gaze, Xu's mother hesitated and said to her son: "Haoran, although Mom is still I can't accept two men being together, but Mom knows that Xiao Zhou is sincere to you..." The tears in the corners of Xu's mother's eyes fell again involuntarily, and Xu's mother didn't reach out to wipe it away, "It's not easy for you two to be together, you Don't make Xiao Zhou sad. And...if the matter is resolved, just call Mom. "

Xu Haoran nodded heavily and agreed to his mother, even if Xu's mother didn't say anything, Xu Haoran would never do anything to embarrass Zhou Jisheng again.

"Mom, take care of yourself. Soon, maybe in May we will be back to see you again." Xu Haoran comforted Xu's mother, thinking that after the professor competition is over, he can completely let go of everything and be honest with Zhou Jisheng Come back to visit Xu's mother.When the time comes, will he tell his mother that he plans to marry Zhou Jisheng?

"Oh, I'll wait for you to come back!" Mother Xu nodded, and Xu Haoran helped her mother wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

On the first day of the new year, Nie Mi was not in a good mood.The landline at home rang and hung up, and his mobile phone was turned off. Those who came after him found his landline phone from nowhere. The phone that hadn’t rang for many years rang harshly. I dare not pick it up.

"Unplug the phone line!" Nie Mi finally couldn't bear it anymore and shouted at his wife.

While unplugging the phone line, the wife complained: "Will it help to turn off the phone and unplug the phone line? Why does that good student of yours do good deeds and find you in the end?"

Nie Mi was already annoying enough, but he didn't expect that his wife would not let him worry.Nie Mi sat in the living room for a while, and his wife nagged for a long time. Finally, Nie Mi got up and went to the study, closing the door with a "bang".

"What's the use of you smashing the door at me, smashing at your student!" The wife yelled at the closed door, and simply went out to relax.

Although he unplugged the phone line and turned off his mobile phone, Nie Mi still wanted to keep in touch with Professor Lin.Nie Mi opened the notebook and logged into the mailbox. Sure enough, Professor Lin sent several emails to Nie Mi early this morning.

"Brother Nie, if Xu Haoran calls you, please hold him down first."

"I guarantee that this move will not hurt you and Xu Haoran. As long as you follow my method below, you will definitely be able to become the dean of the Faculty of Arts."

……

There were still several letters to follow, and Nie Mi opened them one by one to browse.This incident was planned by Professor Lin alone, and even Nie Mi was kept in the dark.If Zhao Geyi hadn't come angrily to ask Nie Mi last night what was going on, Nie Mi probably wouldn't have known that things were already raging.

Professor Lin had said before that he wanted to use the relationship between Xu Haoran and Zhou Jisheng to make a fuss, so as to pull down the people from Zhang Shouzheng's faction one by one. Even if they win, Nie Mi will not be able to get over this hurdle.So he never agreed to Professor Lin's proposal, and it turned out that Professor Lin did it behind his back, and chose the early morning of the first day of the new year.

"The next thing we have to do is to get Xu Haoran and Yihan engaged, then the public opinion will think that Xu Haoran is a normal person, and Zhou Jisheng is gay, we can completely separate the relationship, while Zhou Bo's side can't justify itself. So, I will trouble Brother Nie to persuade Xu Haoran to get engaged to Yihan when Xu Haoran meets you.” This is the next step of Professor Lin’s arrangement, the engagement between Xu Haoran and Lin Yihan shows that Xu Haoran is a normal person, and Professor Lin will also give Zhou Ji After graduation, because she fell in love with a man and had a falling out with her parents, she had to go to work in a small hospital.

Looking at the email, Nie Mi felt a chill in his heart. He couldn't help wondering if he had found the wrong person. It would be extremely ironic for Professor Lin to use such a method to compete for the position of university president. matter.What's more, Professor Lin even used his own daughter.

Nie Mi turned off Professor Lin's email, and covered his face with his hands. On this day, he was supposed to go out to pay New Year's greetings with his wife, but he didn't dare to leave the house because of this sudden incident.

After some time, there was a knock on the door, and Nie Mi frowned, wondering if those people couldn't get through to his mobile phone and home landline, so they started looking for the door instead?Nie Mi didn't want to pay attention to it, and despite the louder knocking on the door, the man became impatient and shouted directly: "Brother Nie, it's me, open the door!"

It was Professor Lin's voice.Nie Mi frowned subconsciously, the person he was most afraid of seeing now was Professor Lin.This person was so scary that even Nie Mi shuddered.

"Brother Nie, the matter has already happened. If you don't end it, this matter will become more and more serious, and it may affect you and me in the end!" Professor Lin shouted anxiously.

Nie Mi sneered inwardly, didn't Professor Lin consider the impact before doing this?If Xu Haoran and Zhou Jisheng admit this matter frankly, then Nie Mi will also be unlucky, and in the end the only one who will not be affected is Professor Lin.However, at that time, Nie Mi will not keep Professor Lin.

Nie Mi finally opened the door for Professor Lin, but Professor Lin's expression was hesitant, probably because Nie Mi took so long to open the door for him.

"Brother Nie, now is not the time for benevolent women." Professor Lin began to educate Nie Mi as soon as he entered the house. Whether it is the position of the principal of Jingnan University or the position of dean of the Faculty of Arts, it is not simply based on Acquired by academic strength.Personal ability is only one aspect of it, and more, it requires personal connections and hidden wrists.

"Women's benevolence?" Nie Mi glanced at Professor Lin, then sat on the sofa weakly, "Can I soften my heart now?"

Just before opening the door for Professor Lin, Nie Mi had already made up his mind. Professor Lin forced him to nowhere and could only continue acting according to the script written by Professor Lin.Maybe I'm sorry for Xu Haoran, but as long as Xu Haoran bears it, everything will be easy when he becomes the dean of the Faculty of Arts and Professor Lin becomes the principal of Jingnan University.

Professor Lin heard the meaning of Nie Mi's words, and he breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Nie Mi was not confused.

"How about calling Xu Haoran back first?" Although Professor Lin said he was seeking Nie Mi's opinion, he had already extended his cell phone to Nie Mi, as if urging him.

Nie Mi stared at the phone with a chill, and finally he took the phone from Professor Lin and called Xu Haoran.
