Chapter 6 Did I touch something?
"Lin Han!"

Jiang Mengyan panicked. She didn't even have time to put on her slippers. She jumped out of bed barefoot, opened the bedroom door and ran out.

No living room.

There is no kitchen.

There is no balcony either.

The shoe rack at the door was empty, and the room was so clean as if no one had ever been there.

He really left...

Jiang Mengyan lowered her head and stared at her calves in a daze.

Sure enough, everything I said and did yesterday was just to appease her...

She tried to pull the corners of her mouth.

She wouldn't blame him if he told her directly, so why did he sneak away?

It gave her hope...

Just then, there was a rustling sound at the door.

Jiang Mengyan raised her head and looked over, only to see Lin Han coming in with a bunch of things in his left and right hands.

The two of them stared at each other for three seconds, and it was Lin Han who reacted first:
"Why did you come out barefoot? The wooden floor is so cold!

Come on, come on, sit on the sofa! I'll get you some slippers!"

After saying that, he pulled Jiang Mengyan and forced her to sit on the sofa, then he trotted into the house and took out Jiang Mengyan's thong.

“Put it on quickly.

You are so grown up, why are you still like a child, going out without shoes?"

After stuffing Jiang Mengyan's white, tender and delicate feet into the cotton slippers, Lin Han spoke with some reproach.

"I...you..."

Jiang Mengyan stammered: "You didn't leave?"

"Go? Where am I going?"

Lin Han was startled, and finally reacted:
"Do you think I left you at home and went away?"

No wonder I saw her standing there in a daze when I came in just now.

How did this brain circuit develop?

"…I don't have any, I'm just asking casually."

Jiang Mengyan turned her head to the side and spoke in a tough tone.

But the way she stole glances at Lin Han and her helplessly twisted hands had already exposed her true thoughts.

Lin Han did not intend to expose her little thoughts, he just put the things in his hand on the table and said:
"You don't have any ingredients to cook at home, so I went to the nearby morning market to buy breakfast for you.

I don't know what you like to eat, so I bought rice rolls, tea eggs, soy milk, tofu pudding, eight-treasure porridge, and steamed buns.

You pick out what you like to eat, and I'll eat the leftovers, so nothing will go to waste."

As he spoke, Lin Han placed the steaming breakfast on the table and asked:
"You probably haven't officially started working at Tunghai University yet, right? When did you agree with the school to officially start working?"

"Next Monday...wait, how do you know I started working at Tunghai University? I don't think I mentioned this to you."

Jiang Mengyan had just taken a cup of warm red date soy milk and was drinking it. When she heard Lin Han ask this, she looked at him belatedly.

"I also know that you work in the School of Literature, taking over the graduate student team led by Professor Wang Jun, who passed away two months ago due to illness."

"you……"

Jiang Mengyan's eyes widened.

"Okay, I won't tease you anymore."

Lin Han couldn't help laughing:
"Because I am one of the first-year graduate students you are going to supervise. Yesterday, the Dean of Studies sent us your information so that we can familiarize ourselves with it in advance. Professor Jiang, please give me more guidance in the next two years."

He looked at Jiang Mengyan, then at her slightly protruding belly under her loose nightgown, and the smile on his lips became even brighter:
"In every sense of the word."

Jiang Mengyan never thought that Lin Han was actually her student.

But after a moment, she came back to her senses, raised her eyebrows and chuckled:
"Then Lin, you have to work hard. I am very strict with my students. I will not give you a backdoor just because you are... you are the father of my child."

She moved a little closer to Lin Han and poked his shoulder with her finger:
"When I was teaching students at the Beijing Normal University, they nicknamed me the devil girl. If your paper is not up to standard, I will ask you to rewrite it even if I send it back ten times."

Jiang Mengyan's sudden confident smile was so dazzling that Lin Han was momentarily absent-minded when he looked at her. Perhaps it was because the shock she had felt yesterday was too great that she acted very fragile.

Subconsciously, Lin Han felt that she was a little flower that needed to be protected.

But when she mentioned her work profession, the confident smile she showed made Lin Han realize that this was the goddess professor in the eyes of more people.

She may have a fragile side, but she definitely doesn't need to rely on anyone to survive.

Good, he likes it more.

"Then I'm afraid Professor Jiang will be disappointed. Although our Donghai University is not as good as Beijing Normal University, I, the top student in the School of Arts, will never bring shame to Donghai University."

Lin Han picked up a piece of boiled chicken for Jiang Mengyan and replied with a smile.

“By the way, the community you live in now is too far from Donghai University, and it’s not convenient for you to go to work.

I got up this morning and went to an agency to look at a few houses near Tunghai University, the kind that are ready for you to move into. You can go with me to have a look later, and if you find one suitable, you can move right in. "

After breakfast, Lin Han cleaned up while talking to Jiang Mengyan.

"move place?"

Jiang Mengyan was slightly stunned, but still nodded obediently.

She wasn't actually too confident about the security here, but she had just arrived in Donghai City and it was really uncomfortable to move around with her pregnant body, so she just rented this apartment.

Fortunately, the deposit is one month's rent in advance and the rent is not very expensive. I won't lose much if I move out, and I don't feel bad about it.

"By the way, last night... was there any noise at the door? It was what I told you about before, like the sound of a door opening."

"No, I didn't hear it."

Lin Han shook his head.

She is pregnant, so it’s better not to tell her about this to avoid scaring her.

Jiang Mengyan blushed:
"Strange... I had it for several days in a row, but it disappeared after you came...

I, I am not lying to trick you into staying, it is true..."

"I know. Maybe that person sensed my domineering aura and didn't dare to do anything to me anymore."

Lin Han laughed.

Because Jiang Mengyan is prone to motion sickness and it is inconvenient for her to take a car, Lin Han specially rented a small electric scooter.

Sitting on the back of the electric scooter, with her arms around Lin Han's waist and feeling the breeze, Jiang Mengyan squinted her eyes in comfort.

...You know what, he seems to have a pretty good figure.

"Mengyan, are your hands cold? If so, put your hands in the pockets of my sweatshirt, they will be warmer."

Although it is spring now, it is still cool in the mornings and evenings.

Afraid that Jiang Mengyan’s hands would be frozen, Lin Han turned around and spoke.

"it is good."

The corners of Jiang Mengyan's lips curled up unconsciously, and her smile was so sweet.

Lin Han called her Meng Yan...

From childhood to adulthood, apart from her best friend and sister, only her parents called her that.

She had never been in a relationship before, and this was the first time she was called a nickname by her boyfriend.

...Is Lin Han her boyfriend now?

I guess so? He is the father of two babies after all.

Jiang Mengyan felt sweet in her heart. While thinking about it, she put her hands into Lin Han's sweatshirt pocket.

It wouldn't have mattered if he hadn't touched it, but when he did, both of them froze.

Jiang Mengyan: Did I touch something?

Lin Han: Damn it! I should have changed my clothes when I went out yesterday!
The sweatshirt he was wearing was previously hung next to his bed in the dormitory. When his roommate was playing around on his birthday, he accidentally tore the velvet lining of the inner pocket.

Since it couldn't be seen from the outside, Lin Han didn't bother to care and just wore it.

He was wearing the sweatshirt with his bare chest, so when Jiang Mengyan stretched out her hand, couldn't she touch his waist without any hindrance?
