* Cough cough *
He had gone off topic.
Wang Xu quickly collected his thoughts and smiled at Murong Tianfeng.
"I don't have a girlfriend, but I don't have any plans in this regard for the time being.”he said casually.
As the saying went, the speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional.
Hu Rong, who suddenly heard this, could not help but blush slightly as she glanced at Wang Xu.
What was the meaning of this?
Could it be that he really likes me?
However, she was obviously thinking too much.
At this moment, Wang Xu had no feelings for a man or a woman in his heart.
Although she quickly covered up her panic, Professor Murong still saw it.
Professor Murong smiled knowingly and did not say anything.
"Alright, alright. Hurry up and eat. It won't taste good if it gets cold.”
"Please enjoy."
The three of them took their bowls and chopsticks and began to eat.
Getting a meal was like fighting a war, and his stomach was almost flat from hunger.
Hu Rong ate happily, but there was something that made her a little depressed.
Forget about Professor Murong.
It was understandable that people didn't like to talk much when they were eating.
But who the hell was this Wang Xu?
Why did he look like he was not eating or sleeping?
He looked like an old man without the vitality of a young man.
This meal was so lifeless!
……
"Enjoy your meal. I still have to go to the library in the afternoon. I'll be leaving first.”
After the meal, Wang Xu bid farewell to the two of them.
"Alright, then we won't be able to disturb you tonight.”Murong Tianfeng greeted.
After that, Wang Xu stood up and left the restaurant.
Murong Tianfeng looked at Wang Xu's back with a meaningful expression.
Hu Rong asked gloomily.
"Professor, do you think this kid can really help our archaeological work?”
"It doesn't seem very reliable to ask this kid to help us find the Peach Blossom Land. We even have to make you come all the way here…"
"Speaking of which, why do you value him so much?”
Hearing Hu Rong's complaints, Murong Tianfeng suddenly laughed.
"Before I met him, I didn't know why. I just wanted to give it a try. But after meeting him today, I suddenly understood.”
Hu Rong was confused.”
Murong Tianfeng took a deep breath and sighed.
"Like an immortal from the heavens, not like a guest from the mortal world…!”
……
6 PM.
The sun was setting in the west, and night began to fall.
In the twilight, Wang Xu, who had finished his day's work, walked to the door of the villa with Professor Murong and Hu Rong.
Although the villa was near Peking University, it wasn't very close. It was about seven miles away.
The three of them walked along. Professor Murong was old. Although his body was still strong, he was still panting.
Hu Rong, who usually did not exercise, also blushed. A thin layer of sweat seeped out of the tip of her nose.
"This place is so far away. Why don't you take the bus?”
"The bus is blocked."
Wang Xu replied casually.
No traffic?
Alright, he was speechless.
Hu Rong put her hands on her hips and panted heavily, her face full of disbelief.
"Nonsense, how do the others get to and from work? They can't be like you, walking to and from work every day, right?”
"That's not true. Modern people are lazy.”Wang Xu said lightly," They took a taxi.”
"Your salary shouldn't be low, right?" Hu Rong raised her eyebrows.”
Wang Xu stopped moving forward.
"We're here."
"What? What is it?"
"My house."
"Phew, we're finally here!" Hu Rong let out a long breath of hot air, as if she had been pardoned.
The three of them stopped in their tracks. Hu Rong followed Wang Xu's gaze and looked over.
After that.
Her mouth opened so wide that a peeled egg could be stuffed into it.
Not far away, there was a lonely ancient villa.
The lush and slender black bamboos lined up on both sides of a stone path, forming a natural shade above their heads.
A gust of wind blew, and the bamboo swayed with the wind. The ground was mottled with light and shadow, leading to the villa at the end of the road.
The entire villa exuded the flavor of ancient Chinese architecture. It was hard to tell which dynasty it was from. It was as if it had taken the essence and discarded the dregs, mixing the styles of various dynasties together.
However, it was not messy at all. Instead, it was high-end and elegant, faintly revealing the high-end taste of the villa owner.
Looking at the villa that was completely different from the other buildings, Murong Tianfeng could not help but nod and say," Professor Wang Xu, you designed this yourself, right?”
"Yes, I guess so. I made some slight modifications.”
"This is your house?"
Hu Rong looked at the large villa that occupied at least 500 square meters and asked speechlessly.
Wang Xu nodded.
"Yes, it's my house."
Hu Rong was still in shock and had not come back to her senses.
"You're actually so rich? I'm going to pinch the lemons…"
"Haha."
Wang Xu took the lead and stepped onto the stone path." Please come in."”
Under Hu Rong's curious gaze, the three of them walked into the villa together.
From the outside, the entire villa looked ancient enough, but inside, it was a different world.
The interior design was a combination of Chinese and Western styles. The entrance was decorated with flowing water, rattan chairs and stone tables, and the windows were made of lattices. There was a crystal glass screen on the windows, giving people a classic and elegant feeling.
Looking around the living room, there were pear wood tables and chairs, marble floors, kraft paper chandeliers, and ancient bookshelves. It was dazzling.
"Just find a seat."
Wang Xu invited the two of them to take a seat as he said casually.
"But I'm not good at cooking. Let's order takeout for dinner later.”
Hu Rong raised her eyebrows and said proudly,"Hehe, I didn't expect there to be something you didn't know. Just you wait. I'll cook for you personally tonight!"”
Wang Xu glanced at her again, not feeling embarrassed at all.
"Then I'll leave it to you."
At this moment, Murong Tianfeng, who had been looking left and right the moment he entered, finally couldn't hold it in any longer.
"Professor Wang Xu, where is the collection you mentioned?”
"Oh, please follow me."
Wang Xu smiled and nodded. He then led Murong Tianfeng into the study.
After leading Murong Tianfeng to the study, an unknown number rang.
Wang Xu lowered his head to take a look and said," Take your time to appreciate it. I have to take this call."”Then, he walked out of the study.
"Alright, you go ahead. I'll take a look myself.”
Wang Xu walked out of the study and looked at the phone that kept ringing in his hand. Then, he picked it up.
A loud voice came from the other end of the line.
"Hey, Xu Bro, you finally picked up my call!”
