My Aloof Husband Can't Stop His Devoted Affection-Chapter 142: Showing Off Love

Chapter 142: 142: Showing Off Love
Cen Jin had just started speaking, and before she could finish, a deep, rich voice suddenly sounded. Cen Jin immediately fell silent and turned her head to look, seeing that familiar handsome figure etched in her heart striding towards her under the white streetlights.
"I was just about to send you a WeChat message, and here you are." Cen Jin looked at his handsome profile, smiling as she stepped aside to meet his attentive gaze.
Jiang Baizhou approached, his brow slightly raised. He had always known Cen Jin was beautiful, especially her captivating, smiling eyes. Since childhood, no matter where she went, she attracted many admiring glances. During school, he had secretly blocked numerous love letters and confessions meant for her.
The three boys also looked over and, upon seeing Jiang Baizhou, they quickly restrained their expressions of joy. They subconsciously tucked the basketball behind them and adopted a serious and earnest demeanor, nodding slightly towards Jiang Baizhou: "Jiang... Associate Professor Jiang."
Jiang Baizhou glanced at the three of them, naturally reaching out with one hand to hold Cen Jin’s hand, asking coldly, "What do you want with her?"
Seeing Jiang Baizhou holding Cen Jin’s hand, the three boys understood what it meant and awkwardly laughed, scratching their heads and waving their hands, "N-nothing, we won’t disturb Professor Jiang any longer, we’ll just go play basketball."
After the three boys left, Jiang Baizhou looked down at Cen Jin, pressing his cool lips together without speaking.
Cen Jin felt a bit uneasy under his gaze and smirked, "Well... being pretty might be an original sin, but it’s not my fault, right? I don’t want to be approached all the time either! I really want to be low-key! But... my prowess doesn’t allow it! And... haven’t you experienced this kind of thing often yourself?"
"I haven’t said anything yet." Jiang Baizhou squinted slightly, casting a sidelong glance at her.
"Then why are you staring at me like that?" Cen Jin seemed a bit self-righteous, not intimidated by him at all.
"Can’t I just look?"
"No, it’s just that, being stared at by you for too long, I get a little scared."
"Oh?" Jiang Baizhou raised an eyebrow, "From a psychological standpoint... ."
"Hey, stop, I don’t want to hear about your psychology stuff." As soon as Cen Jin heard that, she immediately interrupted him and changed the subject, "What time’s your class?"
"Seven ten."
"Have you eaten?"
"I have, you haven’t?"
"No, I just came straight from the studio!"
Jiang Baizhou pressed his lips and raised his wrist to check the time, "There should still be food at the canteen, let’s go! I’ll take you to eat something first."
"Okay." Cen Jin responded with a bright smile, taking cheerful steps as she walked with him into the faculty canteen, "Come to think of it, it’s been ages since I ate at the school canteen."
"If you like it, you can come every day."
"Tsk! I don’t have a meal card! I’d have to use yours."
As soon as Cen Jin finished speaking, Jiang Baizhou took out his meal card from his trouser pocket and handed it straight to her, his eyes sincere, "If you like it, take it."
"If I take it, what will you eat at school later?"
"I can get another one."
"Forget it!" Cen Jin pushed his extended hand back with a smile, "Not to mention whether I’d come every day or not, just taking a cab from Chunxi Road costs over twenty bucks, I could have a fast food meal with that! Isn’t it a hassle to go back and forth? By the way, what’s on the menu in the canteen today?"
"Your favorite sweet and sour ribs."
"Really?"
"Yeah."
"I must give it a try, then."
