Professor Zhong understood what Rong Si had just said. It was normal for young people to be immersed in love. He just sighed regretfully. “Alright then. I wish you a safe journey and a bright future. Keep in touch.”
Rong Si nodded. To this teacher, who had always taught him everything and wanted to accompany him all the way, he replied, “Okay, take care of yourself.”
Professor Zhong smiled. It was rare to hear a student like Rong Si say such things.
Previously, Rong Si had been cold and did not like to talk, as if he were living in his own world and no one could disturb him. It was as if… However, ever since he had made his relationship with his little girlfriend public, his mood had improved a lot. He would respond to the professor when he spoke to him. No wonder people say that love can change a person.
Before sending off the young man, Professor Zhong made a small joke. “When you’re getting married to your little girlfriend one day, remember to invite me.”
Married…
That word made Rong Si’s heart skip a beat. Then, a heat seemed to surge in the depths of his heart. That feeling was indescribable.
It wasn’t that he had never thought about it. On the contrary, he had been thinking about it since he was a kid.
However, his girl was only about to turn 18 years old. He would have to wait another two years at the earliest to reach the legal age of marriage. It was too long for him. He wanted to marry her immediately.
Of course, what he wanted to do the most now was to see her.
However, when he returned to the country, he did not tell Su Jiu. He was looking forward to her expression when he suddenly appeared in front of her.
On the flight, Rong Si turned his head to look out the window. Supporting his chin with his hand, he thought of her bright face and sweet smile. His lips curled up.

In the evening, Su Jiu finished the day’s classes at school and walked toward the school gate with a few books in her arms. She had gone to the library to borrow books for a long time, so the driver, Uncle Zhong, should have been waiting for her at the door for a long time.
She quickened her pace.
Su Jiu was already famous in school. The students passing by her all looked at her, and some even secretly took out their phones to take photos.
The girl’s facial features were exquisite, and her skin was fair. The evening sun shone through the gaps in the camphor trees and landed on her face, making her skin glow. Her white dress and thin pink knitted jacket outlined her slender and beautiful figure.
One could tell how beautiful she was just by glancing at her.
Su Jiu was used to these gazes. Whenever a bold boy greeted her with a red face, she smiled politely in response, causing the young boys to blush even more.
