Shu Ran: ...
She couldn't respond to that.
Zhou Jiajia noticed her pause and asked in confusion what was wrong.
Shu Ran raised her phone to show her.
Zhou Jiajia saw the reply from Qin Xian, and her mouth twitched in disbelief that these words could come from him.
"It's over, Shu Ran, you've been teased."
"President Qin is completely unconventional; how is this even a gift?"
Shu Ran helplessly brushed aside the loose strands of hair on her forehead. "I don't know either. Forget it, when are you free to go out and take a look with me?"
"Sure, sounds good."
...
After bidding farewell to Zhou Jiajia, Shu Ran leisurely drove her Audi to S University, where Shu Mother worked.
Shu Mother had told her last night that she would be heading to D City this afternoon for a teacher seminar and wouldn't be back for two days.
However, she had rushed out in the morning and forgot to take the teaching materials and credentials from the table, so she hurriedly called Shu Ran to ask her to make a trip.
S University is the top university in S City, known for its beautiful environment and talented individuals. When it came time to choose colleges during the college entrance exam, Shu Mother strongly recommended it, even insisting that she must apply to S University.
The teaching environment was excellent, and since Shu Mother also taught there, it would be convenient for her to take care of things.
But for Shu Ran, she preferred the journalism department at Q University, which was more specialized and offered her the chance to learn more.
She also wanted to go out and see the splendor of the outside world.
So, with the unconditional support of her father and brother, they overturned Shu Mother's opinion three to one.
Thus, she missed the opportunity to attend this school.
However, this was the university that Zhou Jiajia had attended.
Shu Ran parked the car and packed all her materials into her bag.
With her backpack on, she strolled along the campus path, taking pictures of the scenery at S University to send to Zhou Jiajia.
In the afternoon, the school's playground was still lively, with a group of passionate boys running freely on the basketball court, sweating as they celebrated their youth.
How wonderful.
Shu Ran stopped in her tracks, standing under a tree with her backpack, gazing at their youthful and energetic figures, slightly lost in thought.
She couldn't remember when it was that she had also sat like those Little Girls around the basketball court. Her eyes were filled with reflections of someone running; just a casual glance from him would make her heart race and leave her breathless.
Her phone vibrated in her hand, bringing her back to reality.
The screen displayed a flood of chaotic messages.
Zhou Jiajia: Oh my gosh, you went to S University?
Zhou Jiajia: Why does our school look so good right after we graduate? It's so unfair!
Zhou Jiajia: Serious complaint!
Zhou Jiajia: Suddenly missing campus life so much, missing the handsome guys playing basketball on the playground, the beautiful academic genius sitting in front of me during class, and the aloof senior in the club.
Shu Ran saw this message and laughed uncontrollably.
Shu Ran: Haha, do you believe I’ll screenshot what you just said and send it to Zheng Tong?
Zhou Jiajia: ^_^ Is it too late for me to take that back?
Shu Ran was teasing her, pretending to say: It's too late, I've already sent it.
Zhou Jiajia: No! You can't do that! No! No! No!
Three seconds later.
Zhou Jiajia: Wait, how come I don’t remember you having Zheng Tong's contact information?
Shu Ran was laughing so hard at her response that she closed the interface and continued scrolling.
Shu Mother sent a WeChat message asking if she had arrived.
Shu Ran replied that she had.
Shu Mother: I'm still in class right now, probably another 30 minutes before I finish. You can wander around for a bit, and I'll call you when I'm done.
Shu Ran replied okay.
Putting away her phone, Shu Ran looked up at the playground again and gently smiled like a blooming flower.
The past is the past; there’s no need to reminisce. Looking back only adds to the sadness, which isn’t worth it.
Half an hour is too rushed and tiring for wandering around a campus. Moreover, the afternoon sun is scorching hot, making the pathways feel sweltering.
In such weather, Shu Ran really didn’t feel like strolling around. So where could she go?
Ding dong, of course, it's the library.
Entering the library of S University requires a pass card. Shu Ran stood at the entrance, rummaging through her bag for her mother’s card.
Suddenly, someone stood behind her. Shu Ran thought she was blocking his way and was about to step aside.
But he suddenly reached out, swiped the card at the access device, and with a beep, the passage opened.
"Go ahead," his voice was rich and deep, like a bottle of aged red wine, flowing slowly.
Shu Ran turned back in confusion, and what met her eyes was a familiar face.
It looked familiar, but Shu Ran couldn't recall his name. "Thank you, but who are you?"
"Jiang Yiwei. We met once at the mall."
Shu Ran frowned slightly, trying to recall information about this name.
In just a second, she remembered.
Jiang Yiwei? Jiang Yihan's brother?!
He was wearing a simple tracksuit, but the material and logo showcased its exceptional quality.
His skin was quite fair, and paired with the light-colored outfit, it suited him well.
Moreover, the pair of white sneakers on his feet made him look like a vibrant young man.
If only one could overlook the strong aggression hidden in his eyes.
He politely spoke up, "Last time I left in a hurry and didn’t get a chance to ask your name."
"I am Shu Ran."
"Shu... Ran..." Her name rolled off his tongue lazily, with a unique charm.
Shu Ran felt uncomfortable; she was not used to excessive contact with strangers, especially since he was Jiang Yihan's brother.
She forced a smile, thanked him again, and slowly walked inside without looking back.
Jiang Yiwei, who was left behind, couldn't help but smirk slightly, his gaze on her retreating figure becoming meaningful.
Eventually, he also stepped inside.
The library in the afternoon was quiet, with only a few people scattered on the first floor reading magazines on the sofas.
Shu Ran stood at the stairway looking at the floor directory: magazines on the first floor, literature and arts on the second floor, novels and stories on the third floor, and course materials on the fourth floor.
Without much thought, Shu Ran took the elevator straight to the second floor.
Rows of bookshelves stood tall; it had been over a year since she last visited the library. Finally having the chance to come today, she felt as free as a fish swimming in the ocean of literature.
