Looking at her student, who kept her head bowed and refused to look up, Professor Xiao let out a soft sigh. She understood Zhou Lian's good intentions, but who didn't spend the Spring Festival with their family? For her to bring along the professor and her husband… what was that all about? She knew her student well. Zhou Lian truly saw her and her husband as her own elders. But Zhou Lian was married now, no longer on her own. How could she not consider other people's feelings!
Hearing her teacher's nearly imperceptible sigh, Zhou Lian's heart clenched. She looked up at Professor Xiao and said slowly, "Teacher, it was Jin Chen who brought it up first. He said he wanted to spend the New Year with you and your husband, Teacher!"
"Oh, you," Professor Xiao said, her tone a mix of affection and exasperation. "If you hadn't made it so obvious, do you think Jin Chen would have brought it up? I know my own student. In front of Li Jincheng, you're practically an open book, aren't you?"
