Brother Yu!
Brother Yu! Brother Yu!
Xiao Hua and the lot probably noticed sothing between Tan Jiao and , so their teasing beca even more intense. They shouted my na while looking at Tan Jiao to attract the attention of the other custors as well. Even though Tan Jiao looked calm, her ears were slightly red.
Who told you guys to tease her?
They imdiately settled down.
She kept her head down.
So more food ca, but everything seed bland and tasteless. I wanted to look at her, yet I had to keep a distance. The two of us were probably the quietest people in the whole barbeque shop.
Unexpectedly, I received a call from my university professor at that mont.
Professor Chen was the vice dean when I was studying for my masters degree, and he treated very well. I had so financial troubles back then, so he brought along to do research work and shared the revenue with . He helped through a difficult period in my life. I had always been grateful to him, but I rarely called him after that incident.
A few months ago, I heard that sothing had happened at his parents place. Apparently, a fire had broken out, and several of his family mbers died. I tried several tis to call him after hearing the news, but I could not reach him at all. People said that he left the university after that incident and brought his only daughter back to Yunnan.
That was why at this mont, I felt sowhat uneasy. Professor Chen? How have you been?
The professors voice seed a lot older and duller. Wu Yu, Ive been well. I only heard a few days ago that you had left the school and gave up on your work. How have you been?
Im alright. Living my life the way I want to.
Professor Chen let out a chuckle and said, Living the way you want to? Hehe thats good, thats good.
I was sowhat taken aback by that comnt.
Beside , Xiao Hua had already co close to to eavesdrop. Professor? Brother Yu even knows a professor? Must be so professor teaching at the special forces academy.
I ignored Xiao Hua and continued my conversation while looking past Xiao Hua toward Tan Jiao. She was holding a chicken wing, with her eyes wide open looking over in my direction. When our gaze t, she quickly turned away.
Then professor Chen asked, Wu Yu, where are you now?
Im in Yunnan.
Thats great. Im also in Yunnan. Li Xian, my hotown.
I never expected us to be staying so close to each other. In fact, Li Xian was just on the outskirts of Dali city. Professor, I dont live far. Ill co to see you tomorrow.
Professor Chen seed pretty happy about that. That would be good if you could co. I also have sothing to ask of you.
Do tell.
When youre here, co see Ruying as well. It would be wonderful if you could stay with her for a few days. You should know that she liked you previously. After what happened to our family, her health has been deteriorating, and she has beco more antisocial, unwilling to go out or make friends. I just dont want to see her ruin herself like this. So, could you co give her so guidance? I an, she listened to you in the past.
The na Chen Ruying now felt like a na I interacted with in my previous life. It had been so long, yet the image of her face soon surfaced in my mind. She was professor Chens only daughter, and to the poor students, she was the well-known princess in our school. She would co to the professors lab often and would always follow around. Back then, she would always wear white dresses, looking innocent and cute. Almost all the teachers and students in the school liked her.
It was not that I never knew that she liked , but she was not my type. Even though the professor had tried several tis to fix her up with , I always kept my distance from her. After so ti, the professor understood my intentions and never brought it up again. Ruying still tried to cling to though for so ti, but my busy schedule ultimately proved too much even for her.
