Even though she had conversations with Professor Ouyang, Jiang Yao was still that weird and eccentric top student who did not have any friends other than Wen Xuehui. She would never forget the care that the professor had shown her in his office that day.
In her new life, it seemed like she and Professor Ouyang had become closer unexpectedly. She could see that Professor Ouyang really liked her.
In her previous life, after her graduation, Professor Ouyang had once asked her if she wanted to join him as a graduate student. However, she did not have money at that time, and she felt that Professor Ouyang had sympathized with her. He might not have liked her as she was an eccentric student. Therefore, she did not stay in school as a graduate student; instead, she chose to join the workforce.
It seemed like Professor Ouyang not only sympathized and felt sorry for her but he also genuinely liked her as a student. Therefore, she was even more moved.
“But you haven’t confirmed where you’ll be working, so I didn’t agree to it immediately, “Jiang Yao told Lu Xingzhi her thoughts very seriously. “If you’re transferred to the Southern Military Region after the new year, I’ll take the exam then. Once you’re transferred, it’ll take at least two to three years before you can return to Jindo, right? I’ll probably finish graduate school at that time too.”
“What if they transfer me to the north?” Lu Xingzhi asked.
“Well, I won’t take the exam then,” Jiang Yao answered without hesitation. “There are many things that are very important to me, but nothing is more important than my Lu Xingzhi!”
One sentence—only one simple sentence, but it made Lu Xingzhi’s heart move and tremble.
She said that nothing in the world was more important than Lu Xingzhi.
Her words were enough. Even if she had to stay in the south for a few more years, if it made her happy, then he would wait for her.
He was the one who had gradually become greedy and insatiable. He had asked her to stay by his side for longer and longer.
“Silly wife!” Lu Xingzhi lowered his head and kissed her forehead.
It was time for him to leave, but he could not bear to part with the city because of her words.
Suddenly, he had fallen in love with the entire city because of her.
It was because she was there.
Jiang Yao pursed her lips and rubbed her head against Lu Xingzhi’s chin—she acted coquettishly. “I’m not silly. Your wife is a smart woman.”
“Yes, my wife is brilliant.” Lu Xingzhi’s laughter was low and mellow. If his wife were not smart, she would not be able to make him happy with just a few simple words.
Their conversation sounded very childish. However, the two of them exchanged more pleasantries.
After a few long moments in the car, Jiang Yao looked at the time—she finally let Lu Xingzhi leave. She knew that he had other things to do before he was supposed to leave Nanjiang City. She was afraid that if he stayed with her for a while longer, he would miss his afternoon flight again.
Lu Xingzhi looked at the time too—it was indeed time to leave. He instructed Jiang Yao to remember to eat lunch in half an hour. After he saw Jiang Yao walk into her dormitory, he waited for her to appear on her balcony to wave goodbye to them. Then he drove away from the dormitory.
Lu Xingzhi did have other things to do. After he left school, Lu Xingzhi and Manager Sun went to the car dealership. On behalf of Changkang Group, they ordered two cars and left some instructions for modification. Then, they went to Director Ye’s place.
