Strange Life of a Cat

Chapter 244 - 244 237

?Chapter 244: 237 Chapter 244: 237 Yi Xin and the others were always anxious, but they found that Professor Jiao showed no direct signs of concern. When they returned, they went about their usual business. During one of the group meetings, Yi Xin, Su Qu, and Zeng Jing were asked to report on their research achievements of the past year, and then the newcomers, Ke Heng and Dai Tong, were asked to introduce themselves.

Dai Tong was from the school and the same faculty. Professor Jiao was familiar with her, and overall considered her quite acceptable, diligent enough; she had initially planned to go abroad directly but was delayed by various things and ended up applying for a master’s degree under Professor Jiao alongside others. Being from the same faculty, she had more understanding of various professors in the institute, which showed her real desire to achieve results.

Ke Heng, although he had studied in a university in another province, was originally from Chuhua City and had returned directly for his graduate studies. Among the few in the group, he was the only one who was unfamiliar with Professor Jiao. So, when Yi Xin and the others worried about being called for a conversation by Professor Jiao, he too was on tenterhooks, afraid of making a bad impression.

At the end of the group meeting, Professor Jiao asked them which day they were free to come over for dinner, as his wife would cook. After some discussion, the students agreed on Saturday.

Actually, Jiao Ma had initially intended to ask Mr. Jiao to take the students out for a meal, but Mr. Jiao felt there was no need to dine out; their home, though not large, could accommodate five more people. If needed, they could squeeze in; it was cheaper to eat at home, and there was no need for pretense.

Saturday evening at six, the sun wasn’t so fierce anymore, and there were more patches of shade from the trees. At this time, many people gradually began to go out for their meals.

Not far from the courtyard in the East District, a group of five headed towards the courtyard, three riding bikes and two hitching a ride, with Yi Xin leading, his bike not carrying anyone else but loaded with several bags of fruits. It’s always good to bring something when going for a meal at someone’s house, and fruits were the most affordable choice.

“Hey, senior brother, you mentioned last time that our mentor’s wife is nice. How about the other members of Mr. Jiao’s family, like children or the elderly?” Ke Heng asked.

Yi Xin briefly described Mr. Jiao’s two children, “Actually, all the members of Mr. Jiao’s family are quite nice. Oh, I almost forgot, do any of you two have a fear of cats? Mr. Jiao has a black cat named Heitan.”
