A few days ago, Ye Jinmeng had already mentioned Shi Shuning to Xu Wanwan.
Xu Wanwan already knew quite a bit about this lifetime's Shi Shuning. In the previous lifetime, Shi Shuning had not joined the army and was purely a second generation heir, but he also had a very bad relationship with Ye Jinmeng. This lifetime, the two had a good relationship, so Xu Wanwan was no longer surprised.
Xu Wanwan handed some tissue to Ye Jinmeng and gently said, seeing Ye Jinmeng's pitiful state, "Can't ask for leave?"
Ye Jinmeng shook her head and sniffed again, "Can't ask for leave."
"Alright, just let your brother Shi Shuning know, then treat him to a meal as compensation."
"Oh, this is all I can do."
...
The next day, early in the morning, Xu Wanwan immediately ran to the library to read. Ye Jinmeng also started a day of battle.
The whole day of classes, Ye Jinmeng felt muddleheaded. Finally, when the last class ended, Ye Jinmeng tidied up her textbooks and hurried back to her dorm. She put down her schoolbag, grabbed her backpack for going home, said goodbye to Xu Wanwan, and left.
At the gate of Haicheng University, a flashy Lamborghini slowly pulled over, frequently catching the attention of passing pedestrians.
When Ye Jinmeng ran to the school gate, she didn't see Ye Jinchen's car. Could her brother not have come to pick her up yet?
Just as she was about to call Ye Jinchen, she heard the sound of a car horn.
"Beep beep beep..."
Looking towards the sound, Ye Jinmeng saw the flashy Lamborghini blink its lights at her. Then the car door slowly opened, and a tall and straight figure got out of the car.
While Ye Jinmeng was still stunned, Shi Shuning had already strode over with his long legs.
"What's wrong, little chubby Meng doesn't recognize me after just two years?" Shi Shuning's lips curved up slightly, his eyes seeming to gleam faintly, his voice gentle and charming.
Ye Jinmeng came back to her senses and blankly looked at Shi Shuning's face.
"Brother Shuning!" As if just reacting, Ye Jinmeng threw herself at Shi Shuning for a bear hug, "Brother Shuning I missed you so much!"
Shi Shuning's strong arms supported her body, not letting her fall, the smile at the corner of his mouth gradually widening, gently saying, "Mm, I missed little chubby Meng too."
Hearing this, Ye Jinmeng immediately jumped down from Shi Shuning's body, hands on her hips, her little face puffed up angrily.
"Humph, don't call me little chubby Meng, I'm not fat!"
Shi Shuning looked down at Ye Jinmeng, who was like an angry little kitten. He reached out and pinched her flushed red cheeks, soothing her, "Alright, little chubby Meng is not fat."
Ye Jinmeng: Hmph, ignoring him!
"Okay, let's go, I'll treat you to a late night snack."
Ye Jinmeng: Hmph, I'll let him off just this once.
At the barbecue restaurant, Ye Jinmeng ate the crayfish that Shi Shuning had peeled for her. Tilting her head, she said, "Brother Shuning, you really have changed."
"Oh? How have I changed?" Shi Shuning asked in puzzlement.
Ye Jinmeng looked at Shi Shuning. His previous curly perm had become a clean and neat short haircut. His fair skin had also tanned into a healthy wheat color. His whole being looked much more vigorous.
Ye Jinmeng giggled and said, "You've become more handsome."
Shi Shuning's eyebrows quirked up slightly, a hint of roguishness in his smile. "Oh? So have I captivated little chubby Meng?"
Ye Jinmeng's face reddened as she fiercely bit into a chicken leg. Hmph! She took back what she said earlier. This guy was still as roguish as ever!
Shi Shuning was glared at. He rubbed his nose and changed the topic.
"This afternoon I already completed the procedures to resume school. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, I'll go back to school and continue taking classes at the Business School."
Ye Jinmeng's eyes lit up. "That's great! So you'll start again from sophomore year?"
Shi Shuning nodded. "Right, I enlisted after I finished freshman year, so going back now I'll be a sophomore."
"Yay! We're in the same grade now. Before graduation we can be together and play!"
...
After the late night snack, Shi Shuning sent Ye Jinmeng to her doorstep, and also took down a big bag of things from the car to give to Ye Jinmeng.
"These are the local specialties I brought back from Shanning City. They taste pretty good, take them back and try them." Shi Shuning ruffled Ye Jinmeng's little head, speaking gently.
Ye Jinmeng happily nodded her head. "Thank you, Brother Shuning!"
"Mm, go inside quickly and rest early."
"Brother Shuning, you rest early too. Goodnight!"
