A pleasant life in a courtyard

Chapter 373 Why is it him?

The mistress’s eyes fell on her husband with a vague questioning look.

Professor Hao coughed a few times, pretended not to notice, and kept talking harshly.

"Ahem~ We can't carry anything without our hands now, so how can we go out without someone, right?"

"Who?" Li Xiang asked curiously.

"Ahem~ That's it...Who is that? Go and bring me a bowl of that old duck soup. I'm a little thirsty." Professor Hao's mind went blank and he couldn't make anything up. He could only make up his own mind. Talk to him.

Li Xiang glanced at the teacher suspiciously, then went to serve the soup as he was told.

The two old men were left on the sofa, staring at each other.

His wife glared at him: "How could you make this up?"

Professor Hao looked back at his wife: "Then what can I say? Didn't you realize that this child has to stay with us?"

Professor Hao picked up the soup bowl and unconsciously looked in the direction of his wife.

As Li Xiang's gaze came here, the pressure to answer shifted to the master's wife.

Professor Hao inhaled in pain, but did not dare to shout out loud. He could only keep bowing with his hands to ask Madam to show mercy.

"Okay, now we can tell who it is." Li Xiang put the soup in front of the teacher and asked for the answer again.

"What do you think of Yu Zhiyuan?" A familiar but unexpected name came out of the teacher's wife's mouth.

The master's wife also took advantage of the situation and withdrew her punishing hand.

"No, why?" Li Xiang stood up from the sofa.

Li Xiang never hid anything that happened at school from his teachers and his wife.

Then he extended his hand to Madam and responded with an innocent expression: "I don't know either. How about you help me think about it."

The teacher's wife's eyes softened slightly, and then asked: "What should we do now?"

At this time, Li Xiang just filled the soup and brought it over.

Why did this person suddenly appear from Master's wife's mouth now?

But faced with the mess he had caused this time, he still couldn't help but pinch Professor Hao's waist.

Li Xiang still had some hope, whether it was just the same name.

But what the teacher said next proved that everything was as he thought.

As she grew older, my wife rarely dealt harshly to her husband.

The conflict between him and Yu Zhiyuan had long been mentioned to the two elders.

"That's him. He's been with you before and even fought with you." Professor Hao extinguished his expectations.

Professor Hao, who was rarely embarrassed, scratched the little hair on his head a few times.

He didn't understand that at that time, the second elder asked him not to deal with this person, saying that his heart was evil.

"Yu Zhiyuan? The one in our dormitory? The one who had conflicts with me?" Li Xiang asked three times in a row.

"Don't you have to have someone to follow you? Just someone is enough." After his wife's reminder, Professor Hao, who had found his backbone, quickly regained his composure.

"That shouldn't be him. Didn't you two say that this man's heart is evil? How could you bring him with you on such an important plan without fear of him backstabbing you? Also, when was he here with you? I'm registered, why have you never mentioned it to me?" Li Xiang was anxious, and the expression on his face was extremely hurt.

Then he said to the teacher: "I don't care, I don't allow you to take him with you. If you want to take him with you, you can take me with you."

Li Xiang's current attitude is no different from that of a child showing off in front of adults.

"You should give up this feeling as soon as possible. You are not allowed to go, and neither are those who have anything to do with you." Professor Hao calmly refused. "Then why can he go?" Li Xiang shouted unwillingly.

"Because he has a conflict with you, and because he wants something from me." Professor Hao looked at him with sharp eyes this time.

Li Xiang scoffed at being looked at, and sat back down again with a pout.

"I'm not going, let my little brother do it. Anyway, there is no upward path after high school. It won't delay anything if he takes a leave." Li Xiang bargained.

"Li Xiang, what the teacher is saying now doesn't apply to you, right? Please repeat what I just said." Professor Hao rarely gave Li Xiang a serious face and showed the majesty of his mentor.

Teacher and student have a perfect understanding. Li Xiang obediently repeated what Professor Hao wanted to hear:
"I'm not allowed to go, and neither are anyone related to me."

"Then tell me why I made this decision?" Professor Hao asked him again after listening to his retelling.

Li Xiang took a deep breath and whispered back: "If something unfortunate happens, it won't be implicated in my head."

Then he defended himself: "I'm not afraid. I won't be able to move anyway, so I don't need to be so careful."

"You're not afraid, I'm afraid. It's a private wish of me and your wife to see our old friend. If it doesn't come true, I'm afraid that I won't be able to close my eyes in the future. But you have a good future, how can you be hindered by this private wish of mine? I've already I've thought about it, it's best if nothing happens. Once something happens, considering my age, they can't go too far. As long as you show ignorance, they won't be able to implicate you. Even if they have suspicions, they will just turn a blind eye because of their past achievements."

At this point, Professor Hao also told the truth.

He still has a few years to live, and he is separated from his relatives on both sides of the Taiwan Strait and has no chance to meet. There is nothing he can do about it.

But being on the same shore as his old friends, if he never saw them again, he would have to leave with double regret.

What's the point of living like this?

"Even if it's not me or someone I know, why is it Yu Zhiyuan?" Li Xiang asked the teacher for an answer in complete confusion.

"First of all, his job is very suitable. Do you know what he is doing now?" Professor Hao asked him.

Li Xiang shook his head and said he didn't know.

Since moving out of the dormitory, they haven't heard much from Yu Zhiyuan.

After graduation, there was no more information about this person.

"Reporter." Professor Hao looked at him with a smile and announced the answer.

The unexpected answer made Li Xiang subconsciously look at his wife for confirmation.

The teacher’s wife nodded to confirm, and explained thoughtfully: “I have just been on my own, and I have been following other reporters to do auxiliary work.”

This is interesting. Li Xiang crossed his arms and leaned back on the sofa, with many thoughts buzzing in his mind.

"That is to say, he came with the teacher's interview last year as a team member." Li Xiang raised an eyebrow and asked the teacher.

When Professor Hao saw that he had realized it, he gave him a teachable look.

"Their newspaper often travels to various parts of the country to collect news. This year, agriculture across the country has once again had a bumper harvest. I am afraid that I will have to go on a long trip again. Your wife just reminded me."

No wonder, the reporter's name is still very useful.

Especially those who are specially assigned to carry out interviews.

It can be said that wherever he goes, everyone from top to bottom will greet him.

It would indeed be a lot smoother if the teacher and his wife followed the reporter.

But the question remains, why?

Yu Zhiyuan and the teacher have now moved around to the point where they can be entrusted with such a thing.
