Chapter 51: Back to Alma Mater

the ward, Xu Qinghuan followed the sound and found Nie Zisen.Seeing her, he smiled and soothed softly, "Don't be afraid, my parents said they'll be here after tidying up!"Xu Qinghuan was stunned. “You...Chapter 51: Back to Alma Mater

She suddenly fell silent, and then Fu Yanshi met her gaze.

"Well, are you questioning your own abilities"

"Thank you, Mr. Fu, for your trust. I will do my best."

Xu Qinghuan, since she couldn't figure it out, stopped thinking about it. She couldn't see through it, so she simply stopped looking! Now the opportunity was right in front of her, no matter what his purpose was, it was ultimately good for her.

If this project goes well, not only can I repay Fu Yan's money within a year, but I won't have to worry about my mother's medical expenses in the future either.

"Stop at Jing'an Road intersection."

At that moment, Fu Yan suddenly spoke, the driver quickly nodded and found a spot to pull over.

Xu Qinghuan only then discovered they had arrived near their alma mater.

"Want to go for a walk"

Fu Yan sighed and raised an eyebrow.

She nodded, "Okay."

Actually, Xu Qinghuan didn't have many memories of her junior high school days. Fu Yanshi was really the most prominent one! Walking in front of the school again, she took out her phone and took a picture with some emotion, then carefully put it into the photo album on the cloud drive.

"Do you still play basketball"

Seeing the school's newly built playground, she thought of Fu Yan at that time again.

Other boys would come back from playing basketball smelling sweaty, but not him. Even if it meant missing class time, he'd run to the public bathroom in the dormitory building next door to take a shower.

Back then, I was still young and didn't realize he had OCD, which led to a few times when I accidentally stained his school uniform.

"Occasionally, I'll still punch." Fu Yan walked on her outer side, his tall figure blocking part of the moonlight and casting a shadow upon her.

Suddenly, Xu Qinghuan saw the fast-food restaurant across from the school gate!

It's actually still open! I used to work there back in middle school. The owner was a couple from Northeast China, always smiling broadly.

After every evening study session, she was fortunate that this store was still open, allowing her the chance to enjoy the only meal of the day where she could savor each bite.

"I want to go and see it!"

After she finished speaking, she didn't wait for Fu Yanshi to reply and quickly ran towards that direction.

To Xu Qinghuan's further surprise, the boss hadn't changed either, it was still that couple! They were inside mopping the floor at this moment, seemingly ending their business for the day.

"May I have another bowl of hot noodle soup, please"

She hesitated for a moment, but still walked over and spoke.

If I miss this time, I don't know when I'll be back to Kyoto.

"Sure, you can wait there for a bit." The proprietress pointed to the seat next to her. Just as she was about to get some tableware for her, she suddenly stopped, "Hey You look so familiar!"

Xu Qinghuan squinted her eyes and smiled, "I'm Xu Qinghuan. I used to help out here in junior high."

"Ah! You're that little girl! I told you, you look so familiar!" The proprietress was warm and outgoing, striking up a conversation as soon as she saw her. "You should be graduating from university now, right"

It's been many years since we graduated.

"You're even prettier than before! Back then, I told my old man, you were definitely going to be a beauty. Look, see You owe me one!"

Xu Qinghuan smiled. She liked their affectionate energy, even after so many years apart, there was no sense of distance between them.

"You're closing up so early now I remember back then, you guys didn't close until after the junior high students finished their evening classes, did you"

"We've always closed up shop at nightfall." The proprietress pondered for a moment, then her eyes widened. "Oh, right! You were the one who had that tall, handsome young man with you. He gave us some money and asked us to stay open until ten o'clock every night."n have the chance to see me again."She must be busy working to support her children and taking care of them, so her work time is limited.
