As Sun Ze reached out his hand, Ruan Mianmian also extended hers for a brief handshake.
After their palms touched, Sun Ze felt as if he had touched a bundle of cotton; it felt incredibly satisfying.
He could go days without washing his hands now!
Then, Sun Ze eagerly offered to help Ruan Mianmian with her bags, making anyone unaware think he was there to assist her.
Qianxun quickly noticed that Sun Ze’s friendliness was a bit off, and couldn’t help but reveal a knowing, mischievous smile.
Tsk tsk! Who would have thought? The always serious Old Sun had a penchant for cute girls like Ruan Mianmian.
However, it seemed he was doomed to a one-sided love.
To prevent this single man from getting too immersed, Qianxun kindly sent a QQ message to Ruan Mianmian.
Seeing it, Ruan Mianmian glanced at Sun Ze, somewhat speechless.
With that glance from her, Sun Ze immediately straightened his back and sat up.
He couldn’t help but think to himself, "Could this soft-hearted girl be interested in me too?"
But his heart was quickly shattered.
Just then, Li Hua suddenly asked Ruan Mianmian, "Sister, did you tell your brother-in-law that we’re heading back today?"
Ruan Mianmian caught on immediately and showed a blissful expression, "Yes, he’s coming to the station to pick us up this afternoon."
Upon hearing this exchange, Sun Ze was completely flabbergasted.
What? This soft-looking girl who he thought had just graduated from college was already married?
Oh, God! Why did my first heartthrob after twenty-seven years of being single have to end ?!
For a moment, Sun Ze felt desolately dejected as he slumped in his seat, appearing listless.
Watching Sun Ze go through a series of facial expressions, Qianxun was nearly at a loss for words.
Luckily, she had been sharp enough to notice something was off, or else it would have gotten messy once he seriously started pursuing Ruan Mianmian.
"Teacher Sun, what’s wrong with you? Are you tired?" Qianxun finally asked after giving Sun Ze some time to gather himself.
Hearing this, Sun Ze quickly perked up and then forced a smile, "It’s nothing, I just thought of something else."
"Oh." Qianxun didn’t press further.
At three-thirty in the afternoon, Qianxun and the others arrived at the Yanjing City station.
As soon as she got off, her phone rang.
With touchscreen phones now on the market, Qianxun didn’t have to hide anything and immediately answered, "Yanzhi, are you there?"
"Yes, just exit the north gate and turn right, and you’ll see me," Huo Tianzun said.
Qianxun hummed in response, then headed toward the north exit.
"Teacher Sun, I have a relative here in Yanjing City. He’s coming to take me out for a meal, and I’ll go to the hotel later tonight. Don’t worry," Qianxun said to Sun Ze after hanging up.
Hearing this, Sun Ze nodded, "Alright, just be careful. We have to record the show tomorrow, so don’t come back too late."
"Don’t worry, I know my limits."
After walking out of the north exit and turning right, Qianxun indeed spotted Huo Tianzun right away.
The weather in Yanjing City was a bit cool today, but he was still wearing the same black windbreaker he had on when they first met. His entire presence was strikingly handsome, and he had sunglasses on.
Seeing Qianxun, Huo Tianzun quickly stepped forward and took her backpack from her shoulder.
Then, a curious Sun Ze stepped forward, "Is this your relative? Nice to meet you, I am Su Qianxun’s class advisor." Sun Ze said as he extended his hand.
Huo Tianzun took off his sunglasses and hung them on his neckline, then briefly shook Sun Ze’s hand, "Hello, I appreciate you bringing Qianxun over."
Sun Ze was stunned by Huo Tianzun’s appearance after he took off his sunglasses, but upon hearing his words, he came back to his senses, "Oh... no problem! Ha, no wonder Su Qianxun looks so good; it runs in the family."
