Upon hearing the familiar "senior," Jiang Tong was a little taken aback, and gradually some outlines began to appear in her mind.
"Are you the second debater from the debate team?" She sized up Chen Changlu, taking a good while before recognizing him.
The main thing was the drastic change; he used to be short and thin and dark in high school.
Suddenly becoming so sunny and handsome, Jiang Tong couldn’t recognize him at first.
"Senior, it’s good that you still remember me." Chen Changlu lowered his head, chuckled softly, and opened the umbrella in his hand.
Hearing this, Jiang Tong awkwardly touched her nose, "Not really, but I didn’t expect you to change so much now."
"Really?"
Chen Changlu lowered his eyes, and memories of those days started to surface in his mind.
If it weren’t for meeting Jiang Tong in high school, he wouldn’t be the person he is today.
The long road stretches ahead, with a promising future.
That’s what Jiang Tong said the first time she saw him.
Perhaps she has already forgotten.
But it became a source of light for the self-conscious and timid him back then.
"Member of the Supreme Court representative committee, seems you are doing better than me."
Jiang Tong slightly brushed back the hair tucked behind her ear, jokingly said.
Hearing her words, Chen Changlu shook his head with a smile, "How is that possible? Senior, you have always been much more outstanding than me."
That’s why he thought of pursuing her.
Just to have the confidence to stand by her side one day.
"Shall we go? You haven’t been back to Beijing for a long time, have you? Let me show you around."
Since they were acquaintances, Jiang Tong was no longer so constrained.
Chen Changlu always had a gentle smile on his face, "Okay."
The two of them reached the entrance, and he automatically and naturally opened the umbrella to shield Jiang Tong’s head.
Several dozen meters away from them.
Not only Chen Changlu, but also Gu Qize, who had just gotten off the plane, spotted Jiang Tong right away.
He was about to go over and greet her when someone else beat him to it.
So he could only stand aside, observing the two of them.
To his surprise, the two of them walked off, chatting and laughing!
Gu Qize internally grieved for Bao Nan for a second.
His second brother really has heaps of rivals in love.
He wondered if in this lifetime, he would ever have a chance to win over Little Jiangjiang.
Thinking of this, he clicked his tongue, quickly pulled out his phone, and snapped away at their backs.
After picking a few striking photos, he eagerly sent them to Bao Nan.

...
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs press conference hall.
Bao Nan stood sternly at the central podium, dealing with the reporters’ barrage of questions.
"Minister Bo, Prime Minister Di Liuo is deeply dissatisfied with your last response; what are your thoughts on this?"
Upon hearing this, Bao Nan raised an eyebrow, his expression indifferent, "That’s a great question, but to be honest, I really don’t want to turn Hua Country’s news conferences into a critique dedicated to Mr. Di Liuo, so I’ve decided not to respond to any of his questions from now on. Okay, next question."
In one brief sentence, he clearly stated his attitude.
This is Bao Nan’s diplomatic style.
For those rare few, you truly shouldn’t waste your time.
The reporter was at a loss for words. In fact, he had a purpose for asking this question today.
After all, these two are prominent figures across countries, and if there’s always a hot topic, their newspaper would have more buzz.
Unexpectedly, Bao Nan didn’t cater to him and outright declared he wouldn’t answer this question.
