Quick Transmigration: The Carefree Life of a Background Character

Chapter 229 A Beautiful Dream 4

"Teacher Xu, is there anything I can help you with?"

"It's like this, Teacher Qing. I just got back from a business trip today, and I don't have much food at home. I thought that since you just moved here, you probably don't have many things yet, so I thought I'd ask if you'd like to go out for a meal together. It's on me, as a way of welcoming you."

Ziyue raised an eyebrow. "Sure, then wait a minute."

Ziyue grabbed her phone, keys, and bag, changed her shoes, and headed out. "Let's go."

Upon arriving at the garage, Ziyue followed Xu Yanmo to a black Porsche. Xu Yanmo opened the passenger door and said, "Be careful."

Only after watching Ziyue get into the passenger seat did Xu Yanmo close the car door, behaving in a gentlemanly and polite manner.

Xu Yanmo got into the driver's seat, started the car, and left the campus.

He glanced at Ziyue sitting in the passenger seat next to him, his Adam's apple bobbing slightly. "Teacher Qing, is there anything you'd like to eat?"

"You don't need to call me Teacher Qing so formally. Just call me by my name. Hmm, can I call you Yan Mo too? Let's go eat French food."

“Okay.” Xu Yanmo paused for a moment, then blurted out the name “Ziyue.”

Xu Yanmo silently repeated Ziyue's name several times in his heart, his chest rising and falling slightly, a hint of a smile passing through his eyes.

About twenty minutes later, Xu Yanmo brought Ziyue to a French restaurant.

The waiter led me to a seat near the window.

Xu Yanmo handed the menu to Ziyue, "Take a look and see what you'd like to eat?"

"A medium-rare steak, a foie gras, pineapple lettuce, avocado salmon, and a crème brûlée. Yan Mo, what about you?"

"I'd also like a medium-rare steak, a French snail, and a beef stew with red wine—it's really good here, Ziyue, you should try it. And a bottle of white wine, please. That's all, thank you." She handed the menu to the waiting waiter.

The waiter took the menu and quietly turned to leave.

The food arrived quickly, and the two ate and chatted.

"Yanmo, how long have you been teaching at the school?" Ziyue asked curiously, since he still looked quite young.

"It's been two years, and I come here to attend classes three days a week."

Ziyue later learned from Xiao Jiu'er that Xu Yanmo was the typical "other people's child," born into a musical family, who had learned various musical instruments since childhood, won numerous awards, and was only 24 years old this year.

I came to the school to teach two years ago, serving as a teacher for cello and piano.

He is definitely a very outstanding young talent!

The two chatted very congenially. Xu Yanmo felt that although Ziyue was only twenty years old, her thoughts and views were very mature, she was intelligent and knowledgeable, multi-talented, and beautiful and generous, which made him admire her very much.

It was past nine o'clock when the two finished dinner and went back.

On the way back, "Ziyue, I want to go to the supermarket to buy some things, do you want to come with me?"

Xu Yanmo appeared to be focused on the road while driving, but in reality, he was feeling quite uneasy.

He didn't want to end their evening's activities so early and wanted to spend more time with the girl beside him, so he made up this excuse, saying he wanted to go to the supermarket to buy some things.

While he did need to buy some vegetables, it wasn't absolutely necessary tonight.

“Sure, no rush.” Ziyue turned her head to look at the handsome and refined man beside her, who seemed nonchalant but whose hands were actually gripping the steering wheel so tightly they were turning white. A smile appeared on her lips.

Upon hearing Ziyue's answer, Xu Yanmo felt an overwhelming joy and drove to a shopping mall near the school, where he stopped the car.

Upon entering the mall, Xu Yanmo pushed a shopping cart, following closely behind Ziyue, always keeping up with the graceful figure in front of him, simply following along.

After walking for a while, Ziyue turned around and couldn't help but tease, "What are you going to buy? Shouldn't you be walking ahead?"

Xu Yanmo was taken aback for a moment, then seemed to come to his senses, a hint of embarrassment appearing on his face, "Yes, I want to buy it here."

As she spoke, she turned the shopping cart in another direction and walked to the other side.

Ziyue looked at the man whose ears had turned red without her noticing, and the smile in her eyes deepened.

Ziyue looked at the steak, eggs, and vegetables in Xu Yanmo's shopping cart and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Do you usually cook for yourself?"

After all, this person has a refined and elegant demeanor, and an otherworldly air about him, which doesn't seem like someone who would cook.

"Yeah, when I have free time, I also like to think about food."

"Ah, then I must try your cooking if I have the chance." As soon as Ziyue finished speaking, a clear and pleasant voice rang out, "You're welcome anytime."

Xu Yanmo pursed his lips slightly, looking a little embarrassed, as if he couldn't wait to invite the girl. A hint of annoyance flashed in his eyes. Well, he really welcomed Ziyue to his home and wanted to cook some delicious food for her himself.

His cooking skills are pretty good; she should like it, right?

Ziyue smiled and tilted her head. "Then, it would be my honor."

Passing by the fruit section, Ziyue grabbed a box of big, red strawberries, cherries, and ugly oranges, and then ran over to grab a few boxes of yogurt.

Passing by the snack section, Ziyue's eyes lit up at the sight of the colorful snack shelves.

Potato chips, chocolate, preserved plums, spicy strips, sesame pork jerky, dried mango, shrimp chips, hawthorn strips, seaweed, milk candy...

Although she had it in her social media profile, she still wanted to buy it after seeing it.

Besides, she has money, so why shouldn't she spend it?

Watching Ziyue devour the snacks, Xu Yanmo's eyes held a tenderness he himself didn't realize, and he silently noted down Ziyue's preferences.

It was past 10 p.m. when I got back to the dormitory from the supermarket.

As she stepped out of the elevator, Ziyue saw Xu Yanmo carrying two large bags of snacks to her dormitory entrance and quickly thanked him, "Thank you so much, Yanmo. Goodnight. I have three classes tomorrow, so get some rest."

Xu Yanmo smiled and said, "Yes, Ziyue, you're welcome. Good night, get some rest."

Only after watching Ziyue enter the room did Xu Yanmo turn around and open his own door.

After tidying up and washing up, I lay down on the bed.

Xu Yanmo felt incredibly energetic today, with no sleepiness whatsoever. He tossed and turned in bed for a long time before finally drifting off to sleep without realizing it.

The next morning, Xu Yanmo sat stiffly on the bed, recalling the beautiful dream she had the night before. Her eyes were tightly closed, her long, thick eyelashes trembled slightly, and her ears turned bright red.

On Tuesday, because she had a class during the second period in the morning, Ziyue slept until nine o'clock, when her alarm clock woke her up on time.

Get up, wash up, and eat breakfast.

After enjoying my breakfast—a ham and pork floss sandwich, an egg, and a cup of coffee—I rinsed my mouth, changed my clothes, tidied up, and headed out to class.

Ziyue could feel the same enthusiasm from her classmates today, so she left as quickly as possible after class, never staying a minute longer, and told everyone to call her if they had any questions.

Luckily, she had prepared a work account in advance, otherwise she was afraid her personal account would have been flooded with friend requests.

The first week of classes has come to an end.

Ziyue was ready to go home after finishing her classes on Tuesday afternoon, since she only had classes on Mondays and Tuesdays.

Arriving at the parking lot downstairs from the dormitory, just as I was about to open the door and get into the car, suddenly, "Ziyue, are you getting ready to go out?"

A clear and pleasant voice rang out. Ziyue turned around and saw a tall, elegant, and handsome man standing behind her, carrying a supermarket shopping bag in his hand.

"Yan Mo, it's you. I just finished class. This week's classes are over, and I'm getting ready to go home."

Xu Yanmo paused slightly, "Ah, oh, okay, then be careful on the road, see you next week."

"Okay, see you next week, bye~" Ziyue smiled, waved to him, got into her car, started the engine, and drove away.

Xu Yanmo lowered his head in disappointment, looking at—
