Mr. Zombie lingers in the city

At the faculty and staff meeting, Gu Xixia, as a representative of this year's outstanding young professors, took the stage to deliver a speech.

She originally wanted to wear navy blue, but Hu Xiaoyu thought it was too old-fashioned.

Gu Xixia instinctively moved left and right in response to his words reminding her to know how to charm men.

However, she still obediently changed into a beige silk short-sleeved shirt and a pair of white trousers.

I definitely won't take off my high heels; at most, I'll change into a pair that's a bit shorter.

After the speech, enthusiastic applause erupted from the audience.

The meeting finally ended in the evening, followed by a dinner at the hotel.

As a key university in Fuzhou, Fuzhou University of Science and Technology attracted many well-known figures in the industry to participate in this conference.

Two male professors, both half a head shorter than Gu Xixia, mustered up the courage to make advances towards her, but she rejected them both with a formulaic smile.

One of the male professors had a powerful background and a fiery temper. After being rejected, he immediately planned to put pressure on Gu Xixia through academic circles.

The movements were quick and efficient, and soon Gu Xixia's expression turned somewhat unpleasant.

After all, the other party was quite ruthless, starting by nitpicking Gu Xixia's academic achievements and trying to disqualify her from attending the Rongcheng Economic Summit, forcing her to back down.

This plan naturally failed, since Gu Xixia's experience was genuine and her academic resume was entirely truthful.

However, the implication was disgusting, so Gu Xixia didn't hold back and immediately called her mentor.

When Xia's tutor heard this, she immediately exploded. "What the hell? I've been teaching students for over twenty years, and I've finally met a girl like her!"

You think you can get away with this kind of trickery against the Holy Maiden of my lineage right from the start?!

Upon hearing this, the senior brothers were astonished that someone dared to touch their sect's junior sister, who was also the face of their group of bald academic elders.

I'll throw you away...!

Before the dinner party was over, the male professor, with a humble expression, raised his glass and downed three glasses in a row to Gu Xixia, led by the president of Rongcheng University of Science and Technology.

Gu Xixia's expression improved somewhat after the male professor left.

"Don't be angry. It's just that you're too beautiful, so it's normal for people to covet you."

"You're twenty-eight, and there's still no sign of anything. Even if you like a girl, you should at least give us some indication..."

When questioned by the principal, Gu Xixia pursed her lips helplessly.

I'd like to let it go, but I'm afraid it'll fly away...

The principal didn't say much, because he knew her mentor and considered him a senior figure, so he left it at that.

This girl isn't stupid; he knows that people in academia often have some mental issues, making it quite difficult for them to find a partner.

Feeling down, Xia Xia clinked glasses with Sister Zhang and others.

She couldn't hold her liquor well, and her fair face quickly turned red, her eyes becoming somewhat glazed.

He took out his phone and quickly found Hu Xiaoyu's number.

"Have you finished eating?"

"Hmm~~"

Hu Xiaoyu, who was playing a game, frowned slightly upon hearing this and immediately took off his headphones and clipped them to his phone.

"Have you been drinking?"

"Hmm~~"

"What the hell are you 'humming' about? Are you even at the Shihai International Hotel?"

"Um..."

"Ha, you get upset just from being told a couple of things. It's only because you're all grown up now. If you drank like this in high school or college, you'd see what I did..."

"You're annoying!"

Looking at the phone that had just been hung up, Hu Xiaoyu pursed his lips helplessly.

Tell your teammates to quit the game. You've already taken out two of the enemy's escorts. If you can't beat the boss, it's their own fault for failing to retreat.

Of course, if the head coach successfully warms up, then it's just bad luck for them.

I drove towards the Shihai International Hotel, and parked the red sports car in the hotel parking lot.

Following the waiter's guidance, Hu Xiaoyu quickly arrived at the banquet hall where the gathering was taking place.

"Hey, Xiao Hu, what brings you here? Picking up your sister?"

"Yes, she called me over."

Teachers at school who were familiar with Gu Xixia all knew Hu Xiaoyu; there was no way around it, the two siblings were both incredibly beautiful.

If it weren't for Hu Xiaoyu's heavily masculine clothing and her obvious masculine characteristics in her speech and behavior, people might mistake them for sisters.

Along the way, she greeted the school's teachers and professors with a smile. The teachers might not recognize Hu Xiaoyu, but they would recognize Gu Xixia and her mentor.

Academician Zhao Yuxiu's status needs no further explanation within this circle.

They found Gu Xixia, who was sitting back in her chair, sulking because of a phone call she had made.

Hu Xiaoyu scratched his head. Luckily, zombies don't lose their hair, otherwise he would have gone bald long ago.

Pulling a chair over and sitting down beside her, Hu Xiaoyu knew that once the girl was drunk, coaxing her wouldn't work.

You can't wait until she sobers up a bit before trying to coax her; the more you try, the more she'll resist. This is a lesson learned the hard way...

Snapped!

She was slapped on the thigh, and several teachers who came to observe her condition gasped in shock.

"what?"

"You look down on me!"

"It's not like I've only been criticizing you for drinking for a day or two."

Snapped!

"Hiss... Xia hits people like that?"

"I don't know, this is the first time I've seen this. Suddenly, I feel like it's not so bad that the male teachers at school haven't approached her..."

Listening to the complaints from those around him, Hu Xiaoyu felt increasingly helpless.

"Stop hitting it, you can't hurt it, and it'll only hurt your hands."

clap clap clap!

Amid Hu Xiaoyu's mocking words, Gu Xixia slapped him three times in a row. For Hu Xiaoyu, it was like a tickle, but for others, it was a different story.

For the sake of this girl's future, Hu Xiaoyu could only awkwardly nod to the teachers and forcibly carry Gu Xixia away in his arms.

Seeing the attitudes of the two, the school teachers exchanged glances.

"Xiao Hu has had a tough time. It looks like she was often disciplined by her older sister when she was little. She doesn't even get angry when she's being beaten like this."

"It's really not easy. At first, I thought there was something going on between these two siblings... but looking at them like this, what kind of guy with family connections would treat his girlfriend like this? Like a dead pig..."

Amidst the teachers' helpless laughter, Hu Xiaoyu carried Gu Xixia and threw her into the car.

"Behave yourself, or I'll slap you right now!"

Seeing Hu Xiaoyu baring his teeth at her, Gu Xixia shrank back in fear.

"You're being mean to me again..."

"You owe it!"

The car started, and the two quickly arrived at home, helping Gu Xixia take off her high heels.

"You're tall, so don't keep towering over me!!"

With a helpless grumble, Hu Xiaoyu, whose face was forced to be buried in Gu Xixia's chest, carried her to her bedroom and put her down with a look of disgust.

With a disgusted sigh, Hu Xiaoyu began to take off her socks, her toes suddenly landing on her face.

Snapped!

"You want a beating, don't you?!"

Even though she was drunk, Gu Xixia still clutched her foot in pain.

"It has no taste!"

Looking at Gu Xixia, who was sitting on the bed covering her instep and muttering to herself with a wronged expression.

"I'm a zombie, humans can't smell me, can't I smell it?!"

Upon hearing this, a look of confusion and helplessness flashed across Gu Xixia's flushed, drunken face.

"Does it really have a smell?"

"..."

Hu Xiaoyu remained silent for a moment, then sincerely explained to her.

"No, no, I'll go get you some water!"

When she returned to the bedroom, Gu Xixia was already lying on the bed with her eyes closed.

"well..."

He took a towel, wet it, removed her glasses, and wiped her face briefly. Then he wiped her feet, where the veins were faintly visible. Hu Xiaoyu walked out of the room and devoutly put his hands together in prayer.

"Please, God help her, she mustn't remember saying her feet smelled when she wakes up tomorrow, she'll go crazy, I really will!"
