Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 2397: Chapter 2333: The New Student He’s Got His Eye On

Even if there’s something to remind her about, can’t it be phrased differently?

What does it mean that she didn’t wash her hands after using the toilet?

She didn’t even go to the toilet in the first place.

No, actually, if she had gone to the toilet, she definitely would have washed her hands.

However, at the moment Liu Guoying spoke up, before she even heard clearly what he was saying, Chiang Xiao quickly withdrew her hand.

She glanced at Liu Guoying, looking a bit embarrassed and hesitant to extend her hand again, as if she had been greatly affected.

”Teacher! There’s no way I wouldn’t wash my hands, I’m very hygienic!”

Liu Guoying snorted: ”Who knows? Maybe you were in such a hurry because you had an upset stomach and forgot. I heard that Mr. Hu’s business deals with handcrafted custom qipaos and jewelry, so his hands must be quite valuable.”

”You make it sound like my hands aren’t precious.” Chiang Xiao replied.

Seeing the teacher and student about to start bickering again, the principal was at a loss and hurried to smooth things over.

”Mr. Hu, I think you all will see each other again soon. Let’s sit down and have a proper chat when you’re ready to collaborate.”

He lowered his voice and said, ”Teacher Liu and Chiang Xiao are always like this, haha.”

Hu Xiangyong withdrew his hand and gave a smile with an indescribable meaning.

”The relationship between teacher and student is really good.”

Chiang Xiao waved her hand and said, ”It’s not that great, though. But, I’m currently my teacher’s only student, so there’s no one else for him to argue with. I guess once he takes on more students, I’ll be pushed aside. But Teacher, you said before you had your eye on a highly talented painter and wanted to take them as a student. Did you find that person?”

Speaking of this person, Liu Guoying’s eyes indeed lit up.

Anyone could see that Chiang Xiao wasn’t wrong about this; he truly wanted to take that person on as a student.

Moreover, it seemed this person intrigued him even more now.

”I haven’t found them yet, but let me tell you, Chiang Xiao, that person’s talent might not be any less than yours. If I do find them and they’re willing to be my student, you’ll have quite the competition.”

Chiang Xiao snorted, ”You make it sound like I’m really scared. Go ahead and look.”

Hu Xiangyong watched them for a moment, then spoke up to take his leave.

”Principal, let me see him out,” said Ji Yuzhi, quickly standing up.

The principal understood their relationship well and, of course, didn’t say anything, just nodded.

After Hu Xiangyong left, Chiang Xiao and Liu Guoying exchanged looks and both felt relieved.

The principal, however, didn’t want to miss the opportunity to persuade Chiang Xiao and asked her to sit down: ”Chiang Xiao, let’s discuss what you’re thinking. Is there a problem?”

Actually, displaying her self-portrait in Mr. Hu’s shop could also boost Chiang Xiao’s reputation, couldn’t it?

It seemed like there was no downside for her.

At this moment, Chiang Xiao’s focus wasn’t on whether to exhibit the painting or not.

She didn’t sit down but hastily pulled up Liu Guoying and said to the principal, ”Sorry, Principal, can we talk another day? My stomach really isn’t feeling well today. I remember the teacher’s wife has a special remedy for this. Let the teacher go find it for me.”

With that, she quickly dragged Liu Guoying away.

”Hey, Chiang Xiao, Chiang Xiao...”

The principal’s voice was cut off by the closing door.

Chiang Xiao supported Liu Guoying as they left and returned to his dormitory.

Only then did Chiang Xiao finally let out a long sigh of relief.
