C18 Little Tiantie

Everyone laughed for a while, and when it was ten o'clock, the master's wife began to prepare lunch.

Everyone rushed into the kitchen to help, but they were pushed out by the master's wife again. She said that they were a hindrance. Although they disliked it, everyone knew that every year on the teacher's birthday, the master's wife would personally cook this meal. This was the tradition of the teacher's house. Only the nanny could occasionally help.

Since they couldn't help the chef, everyone could only find fun. One group of people accompanied the teacher's eldest grandson in the living room to play games, and another group went out to buy snacks and drinks.

Jeannette belonged to the second group. When Shi Rui suggested going to the supermarket, she raised her hand and followed. She really couldn't play games, so she was a true teammate of the pig. It was better not to harm others.

The group of people drove Shi Rui's car and headed towards a nearby supermarket. Jeannette sat in the passenger seat. She listened to Shi Rui, Myra, and another senior sister chat about the gossip in the yard and school. She could not interrupt them at all. The others could not help but tease her when they saw her being so quiet.

"Jean, other than studying, do you have anything else to do in your daily life? Do you have anything else to do?" Shi蕊 couldn't believe that there was such a boring and dull life in the modern university. She looked at Myra through the rearview mirror, "Little Miao Miao, is she like this in your dormitory?"

Myra looked at Jeannette's slightly red ears and smiled, helping her out of the situation, "It's alright. Sometimes I watch some variety shows, right, Jeannette?"

"Really? What are you looking at?" Shi Rui asked in surprise.

"I'm just looking at the singer, singing, and so on. I can occasionally listen to some songs to relax..."

Jeannette was embarrassed to answer. Sure enough, Shi Rui's raised eyebrows fell again. The genre was a little too singular, but it seemed that she couldn't ask for more from Jeannette.

"Not bad. Keep it up. You and Prof. Gibbs should have a lot of topics to talk about," said Shi Rui as she patted Jeannette's shoulder.

Jeannette was speechless.

In fact, Jeannette knew that her life was a bit boring. She wanted to change, but she didn't know where to start. Because she had been living like this all this time.

When she was young, she lived with her grandmother in the small town. Every day, she would go to school with her friends and watch TV after school. At that time, the first thing she did after school was to turn on the TV and watch the cartoon on Central TV. She had hurt her grandmother many times because of this. She said that she hurt her eyes, but she still watched it. How could she not watch it? Otherwise, what would she talk about when she went to school the next day?

Later on, she went to the city to study and lived with her uncle. Because there were too many people, she was too embarrassed to watch TV. She could only read some extra books during the spare time. She looked like a scholar, but she couldn't make friends in school. After that, she went to college and studied in the graduate school. Looking back at her past, she was so pale and powerless. If there were some colors, they were mostly brought by others. Now, they had all left her.

This was the life of Jeannette. It was as if there was no joy or sorrow. She did not know if anyone else would be able to survive, but she had always been like this, and she would continue to be like this.

After Shi Rui and the others entered the supermarket, they acted as if they were having fun and frantically swept up all the snacks. Normally, Jeannette rarely bought snacks, so she did not know which snacks were delicious. She simply told them to go out of the supermarket to look at the cars. This was also something that her mother had told her to do before she came here. She said that there were people here who specialized in picking up the tires of the cars, so she told them to pay attention to them. Jeannette did not know what these people were doing, but considering that this was a small supermarket and did not have any security guards, she decided to stay behind to be on guard.

Today, the sun in Torough was as good as ever. Jeannette wore a thin jacket and sat there, sunbathing. Suddenly, a crisp bell rang from afar. Jeannette looked towards the source of the sound and saw a small dog.

Seeing this little dog, Jeannette was stunned for a full minute. Then, she felt endless joy in her heart. What kind of luck was this? She actually saw a dog that she liked the most here.

Coming back to her senses, Jeannette wanted to touch it. The dog saw her intentions and did not dodge. It even wagged its tail at her. The man and the dog got along very well until a deep male voice broke the silence.

"Sweet bean."

Hearing someone calling for him, the dog ran away mercilessly. Jeannette looked in the direction it came from and saw the owner of the dog, and her eyes widened in disbelief.

The man was wearing a casual set of clothes, as if he had become a few years younger. Jeannette stared at Noah in disbelief and called him, "Noah?"

—

Knowing that Noah would come, Jeannette was not surprised to see him here. However, she did not expect him to appear as the "owner of the dog".

Jeannette stared at him blankly. "Noah, is this your dog?"

Noah bent down to tie Sweet Bean up and patted its little head. He straightened up and looked at Jeannette.

"I just took it in the summer, and then I took it to Ms. Yong. He is going abroad for a year next year, so I took it back."

Jeannette nodded and squatted down to play with Sweet Bean. She smiled when she saw the dog reaching out its front paw to pounce on her shoes. Noah looked down at the man and the dog. He was surprised to see Jeannette here. Was she here for the same purpose as him?

"To attend the old professor's birthday banquet?" he asked.

"Yes." Jeannette patted Sweet Bean's head and said, "Alright, Alton, you have to let me come. I didn't think it was appropriate."

"It's not inappropriate at all. After all, the old professor is your most proper mentor."

Jeannette did not say anything and slowly got up.

"Are you going to buy something?"

"Get it a glass of yogurt and have Teacher Yong feed it. It has to drink it at this time every day," Noah said as he glanced at the sweet bean. It seemed to realize that its master was talking bad about it, so it barked.

The two of them laughed. Noah looked at Jeannette. "Is it convenient?"

"Hmm?"

"I wanted to leave it in the car, but it slipped out when I was not paying attention. I can't bring it in, so can you help me look after it for a while?"

No one expected this. Jeannette was stunned for a moment before she hurriedly replied, "Okay."

Noah smiled and handed the dog chain to her. Jeannette took it and squatted down to continue teasing the sweet beans.

She did not notice that Noah's attitude towards her had returned to its usual calmness. This made her feel a little complicated. Perhaps in his eyes, since that matter had already passed, there was no need to bother with her. As for her, since she had already agreed not to disturb him, she naturally would not mention this matter in front of him.

Jeannette thought to herself. The reason she had gone through all this was not to make him accept her. That love had been buried in her heart for too long. She just hoped that he would know. Even if the consequences were devastating, she had never regretted it. It was because she also wanted to have a clear conscience.
