On the other side, Qin Xiao hurriedly walked into the laboratory, where three students were waiting outside his office. They were the graduate students he was supervising this year. It was a coincidence that all three students were male. It wasn’t that Qin Xiao intentionally chose them; it was just that these three had stronger capabilities among the students who selected him as their advisor. Alright, maybe there was a bit of Qin Xiao’s influence in the selection since he did conduct the interviews. A week quickly passed by. In this week, Xiao Li had a tough time returning to school and attending those theoretical classes. Her brain was a bit out of sync. In the room, Xiao Li lay on her bed, having a group chat with Dai Zihan and the others. Through the camera, Feng Qing saw Xiao Li lying on the bed and jokingly said, "Little Li Li, why are you putting yourself through this? Why, out of nowhere, did you decide to come back to school and study again? What’s wrong? Are you trying to relive your youth?" Upon hearing Feng Qing’s words, Dai Zihan retorted, "Little Li Li is still in her youth! She doesn’t need to relive it." Even though she’s been married for many years and has had four children, Xiao Li still has a unique girlish charm. Her face is still full of collagen. If you didn’t mention she was married with kids, others wouldn’t be able to tell. Xiao Li, hearing Dai Zihan’s words, covered her mouth and laughed. What woman doesn’t like being praised for looking young? Xiao Wenjing, hearing Dai Zihan’s words, smiled and added, "Hey, do you guys think with Little Li Li going back to school , some senior or junior students might unknowingly try to steal her from her husband?" Outside the door, Qin Xiao just returned from his study and paused when he heard Xiao Wenjing’s words. Lying on the bed, Xiao Li was too lazy to respond to such idle chatter, listening as her best friends chatted nonsense across from her. Feng Qing, hearing Xiao Wenjing’s words, excitedly said, "You know what? I would love to see some clueless guy try to steal her, just to see her husband’s reaction. Hey, Little Li Li, has your husband ever been jealous because of you?" Upon hearing this, Xiao Li thought for a moment, and indeed, he hadn’t. She shook her head lightly, "I don’t think he has." Standing outside, Qin Xiao raised an eyebrow. Really? He hasn’t? He has! The chat inside continued. Hearing that Qin Xiao truly had never been jealous, Feng Qing grew enthusiastic, "Little Li Li, I really want to see what your husband would look like when he’s jealous. Back in our school days, we often saw young couples having little tiffs and showing off their love! Watching that was quite entertaining back then! Hey... among the four of us sisters, only you didn’t date during college, missing out on the romantic campus love. Now that you’re back in school, you should seize the opportunity to experience it!" Feng Qing earnestly tried to entice Xiao Li into teasing Qin Xiao. Xiao Li knew she was joking and wasn’t angry. She just replied with a smile, "Sister, I’m a decent woman. I can’t do such a thing as being unfaithful!" The other three burst into laughter with her. After chatting for a while longer, they stopped talking. Just as Xiao Li put her phone down, Qin Xiao walked in. When Xiao Li saw Qin Xiao come in, she was a little startled. Oh my, when did he come back? Did he hear the conversation just now? Xiao Li was not worried about herself; she was worried about Feng Qing, afraid that Qin Xiao would give Feng Qing a hard time because of the joke. As it turned out, Xiao Li understood Qin Xiao very well. Just before entering the room, he sent a message to Huo Zhi, saying, "Your wife was just chatting with mine, saying she misses the romantic love on campus!" Because of Qin Xiao’s message, Feng Qing had a rough night and didn’t even dare to complain to Xiao Li the next day, fearing Qin Xiao might retaliate further. After Xiao Li’s little scare, she quickly sat up and said, "Uncle, are you done with work?" As she spoke, Xiao Li looked at his expression sneakily. Uncle’s expression was normal. He probably didn’t hear it, right? Of course, Qin Xiao noticed Xiao Li’s sneaky glances. He didn’t show it on his face and just nodded lightly, "I’m done. It’s the weekend tomorrow. Do you want to go out and have some fun?" Xiao Li shook her head, "I have a lot of coursework to do. Let’s not go out for now." Qin Xiao nodded, "Alright, then let’s wash up and go to sleep!" Xiao Li nodded, and the two went to wash up and then went to sleep. When they went to bed, Qin Xiao wanted to do something, but seeing the dark circles under Xiao Li’s eyes, he decisively held back. Returning to school to study, Xiao Li hadn’t fully adjusted and was quite tired these days. Qin Xiao didn’t bother Xiao Li. She fell asleep immediately. With Xiao Li asleep, Qin Xiao couldn’t fall asleep right away, ruminating on everything Feng Qing had said. His Nini didn’t date during college. Could she have regrets? Regret is something that even a tiny possibility shouldn’t be allowed to exist! Thinking this, Qin Xiao’s eyes brightened for a moment, then he also fell asleep. For students, weekends always seem to pass by quickly. In the blink of an eye, it was Monday again, and Xiao Li hurried to school for her classes. However, today she wasn’t feeling too good because she got her period. On the first day of her period each month, she always felt uncomfortable. Arriving at the classroom, Xiao Li had just sat down for a while when Chen Wei and Shao Yu also arrived, along with other classmates trickling in. The theoretical class wasn’t just for the three of them; they attended it with other students. As soon as Chen Wei arrived, he placed a cup of hot milk he had in front of Xiao Li, "I just bought this and haven’t touched it. Drink something warm; it might make you feel better." As a medical student, Chen Wei immediately noticed Xiao Li’s discomfort upon entering and, thinking for a bit, understood why. So, he gave her the hot milk he hadn’t touched yet. Xiao Li waved it off, "No need, I brought some brown sugar ginger tea." Fresh chapters posted on 𝗇𝗈𝗏𝖾𝗅•𝖿𝗂𝗋𝖾•𝗇𝖾𝗍 During her period, Xiao Li often felt uncomfortable, and as her caring husband, Qin Xiao wouldn’t let her be without anything. He made her brown sugar ginger tea and also prepared a warming patch for her! Shao Yu, seeing Chen Wei’s actions, gave a snarky smile, "Chen, when did you become so considerate and tender towards girls?" Chen Wei and Shao Yu were from the same year and class. Shao Yu admired this class prodigy. However, Chen Wei was always aloof towards all classmates, so she couldn’t get too close to him. Initially, when she learned that both she and Chen Wei had Professor Chen as their advisor, Shao Yu was excited. But after a week of learning together, Shao Yu noticed that Chen Wei talked more to Xiao Li than to her. Shao Yu was already feeling displeased, and seeing Chen Wei give his breakfast milk to Xiao Li made her immediately blurt out in anger. Chen Wei, hearing Shao Yu’s words, looked up and coldly glanced at her, "Has simple concern among classmates now become overanalyzed?"
