When the convoy was approaching the city.
Shi Wangyue said to Assistant Jin, "You go to the company with Vice President Li, I’ll take care of something personal first."
Assistant Jin was surprised inside, but didn’t show it, "Okay, boss."
He originally thought the boss’s arrangement with someone was an excuse to refuse General Manager Zhang’s invitation, but it turned out to be true.
Vice President Li, sitting in the passenger seat, turned his head, "Mr. Shi, where are you going? We’ll drop you off."
Shi Wangyue replied, "No need. I’ll take a taxi myself."
Vice President Li showed a worried expression, "How can that be? You’re not familiar with the roads in the capital."
Shi Wangyue smiled faintly, "Don’t worry, I won’t get lost."
Vice President Li still insisted on escorting Shi Wangyue, but Assistant Jin stopped him.
"Mr. Shi, if you need anything, feel free to call me anytime," he said.
"Mm."
Shi Wangyue nodded.
Soon after, he quietly turned his head to look out the car window and said nothing more.
He watched the highway fly by swiftly outside, and the blooming locust trees alongside it, recalling the summer he left the country, when his sister escorted him on a flower-lined road to the airport.
Even then, before leaving, he already anticipated their reunion.
Now, everything must come full circle.
...
After getting off the car, Shi Wangyue hailed a taxi by the roadside and headed to the University of Science and Technology.
Yesterday, he discreetly learned about Ning Youguang’s schedule on WeChat.
Thus, upon entering the campus,
He went directly to the classroom where she was attending a lecture.
When he arrived, she was in class, and the front and back of the room were crowded with people.
While other teachers stand at the lectern like walking sedatives, she stands there like a sure-fire novel heroine.
Her brows are like paintings, and she exudes a refined scholarly aura.
Golden wire glasses rest on her straight nose, her delicate lips open and close, and the tedious psychology lessons spill out like a captivating painting.
Especially that gentle voice, which in this hot summer, sounds particularly refreshing.
Shi Wangyue, hiding outside the classroom, watched in fascination, listened in fascination too.
Ms. Ning’s class is so popular; not only is the classroom filled with students, but there are also many standing in the hallway outside.
Shi Wangyue stood there, holding his suit jacket, wearing a white shirt, among a group of boys who were mesmerized by her, eagerly watching.
...
After quietly listening to half the psychology lecture, Ning Youguang finished class.
Standing in the crowd, Shi Wangyue picked up his phone, ready to call her, but soon saw her surrounded by circles of students, both male and female, asking her questions.
Shi Wangyue patiently squeezed his phone and waited for a few minutes, only to find that the students’ questions seemed endless.
He dialed the phone directly.
As Ning Youguang prepared to answer the next student’s question, she felt the vibration of the phone in her pocket.
She then said to the students, "Sorry, everyone, let’s pause the questions for now. Gather your questions, and we’ll address them in the next class."
The students beside her laughed and complied.
Ning Youguang smiled, picked up her teaching tools, and headed outside the classroom, digging out her phone from her pocket as she walked.
She paused briefly upon seeing the caller ID, then swiftly answered the call, "You’re back in the country?"
A look of surprise and delight appeared on her refined face.
Shi Wangyue, standing in the background, clearly observed the change in her expression and smiled, "Yes."
"Where are you? Did you just return?" Ning Youguang continued the call as she walked outside.
Meanwhile, the tightly packed students inside the classroom quickly moved aside, forming a path for her.
Shi Wangyue did not immediately answer her question but instead asked with a smile, "It’s almost noon, are you going to have lunch?"
"Yes, how about you, have you eaten?"
Shi Wangyue looked at Ning Youguang, who was approaching closer, his voice gentle as water, "No."
...
Even before Ning Youguang answered the phone, many students around had already noticed the handsome man standing outside the door.
After she finished talking to him,
They looked at each other in surprise and excitement.
But soon, they realized Ms. Ning seemed unaware of the super handsome guy outside the classroom, and in unison covered their mouths to stifle an almost audible gasp.
Seeing that Ning Youguang hadn’t noticed his presence at the door yet, Shi Wangyue added, "Why don’t we go out for lunch at noon?"
