Both girls agreed, with Qi Xi saying "okay" as she wanted to visit their old classroom and happened to bump into Shen Yuan.
Wei Ke'er said "okay" because she was bored and also bumped into Shen Yuan, so she simply followed him.
Shen Yuan was worried about not having a companion, and since both girls were quite a sight, it surely beat wandering around alone.
"Wei junior, you're so pretty and your grades are so great, there must be a lot of boys chasing you, right?"
To Shen Yuan, Wei Ke'er wasn't just top-notch in Liya, but in any university; it was just a matter of which lucky bastard would benefit in the future.
"It's okay, but they're all too immature for my taste."
Wei Ke'er declared confidently, looking quite impressive.
"You're still a minor yourself, yet you complain they are immature."
Shen Yuan chuckled, though he acknowledged that most boys do mature later, often seen randomly posing as if shooting a basketball, which girls generally don't do.
"They are just immature."
Wei Ke'er didn't want to elaborate further, deeming them simply immature.
"Oh, so that's why you came to me, you like mature types like me?"
"Goose goose goose goose goose...."
Wei Ke'er burst into laughter.
Shen Yuan cursed, "Laughing your ass off, aren't you? You don't like the very immature, so you must like the mature, right?"
Wei Ke'er laughed so hard for a while before saying, "I don't like immature ones, but senior, you and 'mature' don't really connect."
Shen Yuan looked towards Qi Xi, "Qi Xi, am I not mature?"
Qi Xi hesitated, showing difficulty before saying, "If one is truly mature, they won't ask others 'am I mature?'"
Shen Yuan felt cornered by their joint mischief, tried to use his authority to coerce Qi Xi, "Qi Xi, think about where you work now, and then give me another answer."
Qi Xi was really in a tough spot, but Wei Ke'er put her hands on her hips and said, "Senior, that's not right, you should let her express her true thoughts."
"Forget it, I can't be bothered to argue with you two, immature."
Shen Yuan waved them off and then walked out ahead.
"Whatever, it's clear that you're the immature one."
Wei Ke'er couldn't be bothered with him and turned to ask Qi Xi, "Senior, why do you call him Chairman Shen, is he your boss?"
Qi Xi nodded, "Yeah, one of the bosses."
Wei Ke'er was somewhat indignant, "How can someone so immature be a boss, is the barrier that low at your company?"
"The boss is actually very serious at work, just playful in life..."
"Well, I'm not afraid of him, he's not my boss."
Wei Ke'er shouted to Shen Yuan, "Senior, wait for us!"
Shen Yuan turned around and shouted, "Hurry up, you two immature kids! Liya is so big, walking so slowly, when will you finish exploring it!"
The summer wind mixed with the hot air, but having two pure and lovely girls nearby added a touch of freshness.
The trio joked and laughed as they went up the teaching building, Shen Yuan hadn't been back to Liya since he graduated, and he would have really struggled to find the old classroom without Wei Ke'er guiding.
Though he hadn't put much effort in, seeing the classroom where he had spent three years, the mottled walls, and the desks and chairs stirred some feelings.
Inside, the students were still young, it's just that I'm not young anymore.
"Senior, this crappy classroom, what's so good about it?"
Wei Ke'er didn't quite understand, not just Shen Yuan, but other alumni were also stopping to look, faces full of nostalgia.
Shen Yuan smiled and said, "Of course, you wouldn't feel it sitting here every day. Come back a few years after graduating and you'll understand. Or maybe not, maybe you won't even have the chance to come back."
Wei Ke'er disdainfully remarked, "Heh, are you suggesting I won't be invited by the alumni association?"
Shen Yuan couldn't be bothered with her, turning to Qi Xi, "Aren't you going to check out your old classroom?"
"It's just next door, glanced at it already." Latest content published on novel(ꜰ)ire.net
Shen Yuan nodded, "Oh."
Other alumni on the floor glanced at Shen Yuan and his group with envy.
There weren't many women at the alumni gathering, not to mention the quality, most were over 30 with kids.
Thus, Qi Xi, being both beautiful and young, attracted a lot of attention; during the meeting, a few forty-something male alumni even tried to make a pass.
Unfortunately, she had been beside Shen Yuan the whole time, leaving those who claimed they were single no chance.
Especially since Shen Yuan had not only Qi Xi beside him but also a lively and cute innocent junior, making them feel even more sour.
Just as the trio was about to leave the teaching building, they ran headfirst into Ding Manman and her group.
Ding Manman and Ye Yu, after learning about Shen Yuan's achievements, took a while to digest it on the spot; the classmate they looked down upon, second last in the class, had become a billionaire, worth even more, something they found hard to accept.
For them, the most painful part wasn't someone who was once better than themselves being even better now, but someone who was much worse than themselves back then now being so much superior.
Although they hadn't graduated yet and couldn't fully appreciate the importance of resources, they clearly knew Shen Yuan was now someone they had to look up to.
"Shen Yuan, long time no see."
Both Ye Yu and Ding Manman's attitudes had changed, awkwardly greeting him.
