Chapter 29: The broke down looks on the two of them looked almost identical. (2)
At the university.
The arrival of Gu Shao stirred up those on the office building floor.
A few younger female professors couldn't help but started gossiping stealthily after they saw the lunchbox that Gu Shao brought with him.
Did Professor Gu bring lunch with him?
I think so. I have one that looks just like it.
Thats incredible. Gu Shao didnt come to the university very often and it was definitely the first time he came with a lunchbox.
Did he get married?
Was he single before?
I think so.

Gu Shao walked inside the office and his assistant brought over documents on the dissertation defense that was going to take place shortly.
Professor, these are the topics on the dissertations and their supporting documents, said his assistant as he handed a few stacks of documents to Gu Shao. Looking at the blue lunchbox on his desk, the assistant asked, Would you like me to heat this up for you, Professor?
No, that wont be necessary. He did not plan on eating it.
Okay, I will let you be. The assistant was about to leave.
After taking two steps, however, they were stopped by Gu Shao.
Professor?
Yes, heat it up.
Gu Shao didnt have any plans but, remembering that he now has a child at home, Gu Shao finally declined the other professors invitation.

That night, when Gu Shao returned home, he immediately smelled the delicious aroma of dinner when he opened up the door.
Seeing Gu Shaos return, Lin Xis eyes lit up and she quickly took Gu Shaos things in his hands from him in a fawning manner and showed him to the dining room.
Dinner was already ready on the table by now along with two pairs of chopsticks.
Looking at the few dishes that didnt look half bad, Gu Shao raised his brows.
You made these?
Yes, yes, I did. Lin Xi nodded.
She placed the order for the ingredients on her cellphone and had them delivered. As for the dishes, she had never made them before but they didnt seem too difficult. Lin Xi was able to find the recipes online and made them by following the steps in the recipes.
Thank you for taking me in, Dad, said Lin Xi to Gu Shao solemnly. Now that she was living under his roof and eating his food, she must be on her best behavior. She didnt want him regret and abandon her.
Lets eat, Dad. She had asked Xu Fei ahead of time. Xu Fei told her that Gu Shao didnt usually have dinner when he went to the university.
Lin Xi handed the bowl and chopsticks over to Gu Shao.
Noticing the white spots on her hands from the toothpaste, Lin Xi quickly placed the bowl and chopsticks in front of Gu Shao and retracted her hands.
What happened to your hands? asked Gu Shao.
