[Now] I want to hold your hand tightly

The snow stopped, and the long-lost sun climbed out of the thick clouds.

Xu Haoran closed the lesson plan and announced that today's class is over.The male students jumped up, picked up the textbooks and rushed out of the classroom, the female students were a step slower than the male students, and there were a few female students gathered together, talking about something, when Xu Haoran packed up the materials, the girls will Xu Haoran surrounded the podium.

Xu Haoran has been surrounded by these girls not once or twice. He knows what the girls are thinking. Although he is not against teacher-student relationships, he himself will never fall in love with students.

"Mr. Xu, I heard that you have been selected as an associate professor. We have discussed it and want to hold a celebration party for the teacher!" One of the long-haired girls looked at Xu Haoran expectantly, waiting for Xu Haoran's answer.Several other girls also responded repeatedly, begging Xu Haoran to agree.

Seeing the girl's burning eyes, Xu Haoran couldn't bear to refuse.Today happened to be clear after the snow, and the students who were suffocating in the campus had already worked hard to prepare to go out for activities. Just when Xu Haoran was about to nod, a voice came to the ears of the female students, and the expressions of the female students suddenly changed. Change, even the back straightened.

"Xiao Xu's student relationship is good." Nie Mi, Xu Haoran's tutor, walked into the classroom slowly with a smile, and greeted Xu Haoran.

Nie Mi is an old professor of the School of Liberal Arts of Jingnan University. He seldom appears in the teaching building of undergraduates. There must be something very important for him to suddenly appear here today.

Xu Haoran smiled and nodded to Nie Mi: "Teacher, you can call me directly or wait for me in the office. Why did you come here in person?"

Nie Mi sized up the female students in front of Xu Haoran with his gaze. His gaze was not harsh, but it made the female students very nervous.The atmosphere became tense in an instant, and Xu Haoran was about to open his mouth to smooth things over for the students. The old professor said, "It's nothing serious. I just wanted to ask if you are free tonight. The teachers in the courtyard want to celebrate your achievements. But according to the first-come, first-served In order, they should go first." The old professor curled his lips and smiled.

First come, first served always comes after respecting the teacher, several female students hurriedly waved their hands saying that Professor Nie invited them, so they would celebrate for Xu Haoran another day, then said goodbye to Nie Mi and Xu Haoran, and ran away.

Nie Mi laughed and said, "Were you also afraid of me when you were my student?"

Xu Haoran quickly shook his head: "No, I respect you very much."

Nie Mi reached out and patted Xu Haoran's shoulder vigorously. He was satisfied with the student's answer, but no amount of emotion would be enough.

"At 06:30 tonight, we are in the expert building of the school, remember to arrive early." Nie Mi said in a solemn tone, with some words hidden in his words.

Xu Haoran thanked Nie Mi, and then heard Nie Mi say in a novel: "The old dean will come too, don't mess it up this time." As he said, he pressed Xu Haoran's shoulder hard, his sharp eyes tightened. It fixed on Xu Haoran's face.

Xu Haoran's heart skipped a beat. He knew what Nie Mi meant. The old dean was about to retire. The old dean had the most power to decide who would be the next dean of the Faculty of Arts.Nie Mi had already had some unpleasant quarrels with the old dean because of Xu Haoran, and now that Xu Haoran was successfully promoted as an associate professor, even if the old dean didn't like Xu Haoran any more, he still had to give the old dean this face.

"I know it's hard for you, but he is still sitting in that position, we have to give him some face." Seeing that Xu Haoran didn't reply, Nie Mi had to remind his students.Xu Haoran is his favorite student. He has done beautiful papers and won awards frequently, adding a lot of glory to him and the school.But Xu Haoran's temper gave Nie Mi a headache. If Xu Haoran hadn't brought many benefits to Nie Mi, Nie Mi would have abandoned Xu Haoran as an outcast.Nie Mi cherished his talent, he was reluctant to part with Xu Haoran, so he repeatedly instructed Xu Haoran not to be too straightforward.

Xu Haoran heard Nie Mi's anxious voice, and quickly nodded in response: "As long as the old dean doesn't go too far, I will naturally not embarrass him."

Nie Mi was speechless, Xu Haoran's temper made him troublesome.

After the snow, the warm sunlight came in from the glass window, and fell softly on the people who were eating in the restaurant.

Zhou Jisheng made a bowl of warm chicken shredded noodles and was eating. Several nurses sitting around him chatted happily, and even chatted with Zhou Jisheng from time to time.

"Doctor Zhou heard that you bought a house, are you planning to get married?" A young nurse just heard Zhou Jisheng said that he bought a [-]-square-meter house on Gulou East Road, and started the daily topic of surgery in Boren Hospital with great interest. .

Zhou Ji grew up handsome and courteous. After graduating from Jingnan University School of Medicine with a Ph.D., he rejected many famous hospitals in Jingnan City and came to Boren Hospital.In the eyes of these young nurses who have just graduated, Zhou Jisheng is a typical gentleman.In addition, Zhou Jisheng still has the attribute of being unmarried in his early 30s, which made the nurses in the hospital the best candidates for marriage.During the four years since Zhou Jisheng entered Boren Hospital, there were countless little nurses who wanted to help Zhou Jisheng as a matchmaker or to be Zhou Jisheng's girlfriend.When the third little nurse asked him if he had a date, Zhou Jisheng wanted to say that he already had a lover, but Xu Haoran asked Zhou Jisheng not to disclose their relationship to the outside world, so Zhou Jisheng had to keep silent and said that he was working too much. Too busy to have a girlfriend.

Now, when the nurses heard that Zhou Jisheng had bought a house, they thought that Zhou Jisheng was finally planning to get married, so they hurriedly began to inquire about Zhou Jisheng's living conditions.

Zhou Jisheng smiled and said, "It's still too early to get married."

There are only five simple words, but the amount of information contained is amazing.The little nurses all exclaimed, causing other people in the cafeteria to look at Zhou Jisheng.

Zhou Jisheng was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly advised the nurses to lower their voices.A little nurse was not happy, so she pouted and said, "Doctor Zhou's confidentiality work is really good. If we don't ask you, are you still going to hide it?"

"Yeah, Doctor Zhou, why didn't you say hello in advance? My cousin asked you if you have a girlfriend that day?" Another little nurse interjected. She originally planned to recommend her cousin to be a girlfriend to Zhou Jisheng, but now It is hopeless.

It was only then that Zhou Jisheng realized that what he just said was ambiguous, but he felt that since he was going to live with Xu Haoran, even if the relationship between the two was truly confirmed, it would be fine to properly disclose something to his colleagues, and he could It would be good to get rid of the blind date requests he has received in the past four years, so he didn't deny it: "I haven't written the horoscope yet, so don't make random guesses."

The little nurses were also good people. They were not satisfied with Zhou Jisheng's ambiguous answer. They chased after Zhou Jisheng and said, "I bought a house and said I didn't sell it. Doctor Zhou, tell us honestly, you and How long have you been talking with your girlfriend?"

"Not long." Zhou Jisheng thought for a while, if he kissed Xu Haoran and Xu Haoran didn't refuse when they graduated, it should be seven or eight years, but Zhou Jisheng always felt that they didn't count until Xu Haoran agreed to live together yesterday. formalize the relationship.

"Doctor Zhou, you are really good at keeping secrets. I didn't expect you to be a strict wife." A nurse teased Zhou Jisheng with a smile.

"Okay, Doctor Zhou will definitely invite us to your house for dinner after the decoration of your new house is finished. This is called housewarming!" The nurses joked with Zhou Jisheng one by one, and Zhou Jisheng agreed one by one.

At 06:30 in the evening, the box in the Xuehai Hall of the Expert Building Hotel on the campus of Jingnan University was very lively.

The three wine tables were full of people. The host of the banquet, Xu Haoran, sat at the main table and poured a glass of wine for Nie Mi and the old dean who was sitting in the main seat.

Nie Mi laughed and held up the wine glass for the silent old dean Zhao Geyi, while signaling Xu Haoran with his eyes to toast the old dean quickly.

Xu Haoran respectfully picked up the wine glass, and thanked the old dean who reluctantly took the wine glass from Nie Mi. Zhao Geyi glanced at Xu Haoran lightly, and took a sip of the wine as a gesture of expression.

"Thank you, Dean Zhao, for the honor. It is thanks to your help that Hao Ran was selected as an associate professor. Let me offer you another glass of wine for Hao Ran!" In the eyes of other professors, the glass of wine that Zhao Geyi drank just now seemed to be a way to deal with Xu Haoran, Nie Mi Knowing that Xu Haoran would toast another glass of wine to Zhao Geyi, Zhao Geyi would not finish it, so he toasted Zhao Geyi instead of his student.If Zhao Geyi still dealt with the matter as before, then Zhao Geyi is saving his own face.Zhao Geyi glanced at Nie Mi who was bending over to toast to him. Although he was unhappy, he still squeezed out a smile on his face, beckoned Nie Mi to sit down, then picked up the glass still full of wine, and gave Nie Mi a glass in return. .

Holding the wine glass, Xu Haoran watched Nie Mi and Zhao Geyi drink a glass of wine, with a hint of anger lingering in his heart.

Seeing that the atmosphere was not bad, Nie Mi asked his disciples to pay respects around the wine table, and then led Xu Haoran to pay respects to the second and third tables.

When he arrived at the third table, Xu Haoran noticed that there was a girl who had never seen before this table, so he couldn't help but look at that girl a few more times.The girl was born fair and clean, with a good face, and she looked obedient and clever. Xu Haoran knew at a glance that she must be a girl from a scholarly family.

Sure enough, Nie Mi saw that his students were curious about the girls, so he introduced the girls: "This is Lin Yihan, a first-year graduate student at the School of Journalism, Peking University, and also your teacher Lin's daughter. Teacher Lin didn't come today. Let her be the representative."

Xu Haoran already knew what Nie Mi was planning, whether it was an indirect blind date, even the teachers at the university would arrange this secretly, Xu Haoran sneered in his heart, but he still had to greet Lin Yihan with a pleasant face.

"Hello." Xu Haoran nodded politely.

"Hello." Lin Yihan's face blushed instantly, and she replied timidly.
