Transmigrated to a Period Novel as the Genius Antagonist's Birth Mother

Chapter 65: Primary School

Cen Zhengnian looked at Yan Heming, who was staring at his pocket, and the meaning was self-evident.

Cen Zhengnian leisurely swallowed a piece of beef jerky in his mouth and took out a piece from his pocket to hand it to him, saying with some helplessness, "Teacher, if you want to eat, just tell me directly."

Yan Heming took the beef jerky and stuffed it into his mouth, saying, "It's not that I want to eat, it's what you gave me. How can I refuse a student's kindness?"

Cen Zhengnian remained silent, watching him finish eating and then handed him another piece, with an indifferent look, as if saying, "Say whatever you want."

"This beef jerky tastes good, where did you buy it?" Yan Heming began to consider whether to let his wife buy some too. Usually, when he was hungry during research, he could take out a piece to eat without affecting his work.

In Cen Zhengnian's eyes, warmth appeared, and he raised the corners of his mouth, saying, "It was brought by my wife from the northwest."

In the teasing gaze of Yan Heming, Cen Zhengnian continued with a calm expression, "She was worried that I might get hungry, so she specially prepared it for me to bring to the office."

Yan Heming, eating the beef jerky, chuckled, "You young folks still have good relationships."

"Teacher, what good relationship?"

The two had already reached the entrance of the research office; the laboratory and the design computing research office were not located together.

The door was half open, and inside, researchers were busy calculating, drawing design sketches on paper. Only Ye Xingxiu, holding his calculated data, was about to find Yan Heming to discuss, and he overheard the conversation at the entrance.

Yan Heming happily said, "I was talking about Zhengnian and his wife. See..." He waved the beef jerky in his hand, "Zhengnian's wife specially prepared this for him."

Yan Heming sighed as he continued, "Getting old, can't compete with you young folks anymore. But seeing you guys reminds me of my wife and me back in the day."

Enjoying the beef jerky, he patted Cen Zhengnian on the shoulder and praised, "Zhengnian, your wife is wonderful. Cherish her. Xingxiu, you're not married yet, right? Keep working hard."

The smile on Ye Xingxiu's face froze for a moment, and he looked at Cen Zhengnian with a resentful gaze. Cen Zhengnian appeared unaffected, with a subtle uplift of his lips. In a natural tone, he said, "Thanks, Teacher. I'll do my best."

Ye Xingxiu looked at the beef jerky and extended his hand towards Cen Zhengnian, saying, "Sharing is caring, don't be stingy."

He didn't have a wife, so he decided to eat more of what Cen Zhengnian's wife prepared just to vent his frustration. It would be even better if he could finish it all, making sure that Cen Zhengnian couldn't subtly show off.

Hmph, his mother had already started looking for a match for him. When he successfully went on a blind date and got married, he planned to have his wife specifically prepare food for him. Moreover, he would deliberately eat in front of Cen Zhengnian, showing off.

Cen Zhengnian glanced at him, walked to his own desk, and sat down, saying, "I might really be a bit stingy."

There was no intention to share any of the beef jerky with Ye Xingxiu. Yan Heming listened with a cheerful smile to their conversation, choosing not to get involved.

Ye Xingxiu took a deep breath and suddenly exclaimed loudly in the office, "Zhengnian, what's this?"

"Beef jerky!"
