After a meal, Sui Yi and company left the Ye family. It had been some time since Yhan Qingwu last saw her, so they began to talk about recent events while in the car...
Sui Yi didn’t have much new to report; she was just healing from an injury and following Elder Tang around. Although there were some amusing incidents, it was hard to imagine her telling a joke without any hint of emotion in her voice... So, Yhan Qingwu didn’t press her, and the two chatted about this and that until they touched upon Gong Jiu and the others.
In fact, Sui Yi wasn’t very clear on where exactly Gong Jiu and his group had gone, only that it was somewhere in Western Hunan.
"Western Hunan?" Yhan Qingwu frowned slightly, "That’s not exactly a good place to be. If something were to happen, even Gong Jiu and his people might not be able to handle it."
It was better to be direct with Sui Yi; after all, she wasn’t one to take offense easily.
Sui Yi nodded and pressed her brow, "That’s also because I’ve been ill recently and have neglected to pay attention, assuming that what she mentioned was a trivial matter, so I just followed her there..."
"Perhaps it is just a little thing. My family is quite familiar with that area, and we haven’t heard anything unusual in recent years. Gong Jiu and Flower Demon are both clever and alert, so they must have been sure of their situation before setting out..." Seeing the worry between Sui Yi’s brows, Yhan Qingwu felt a twinge of regret and, while stopping at a traffic light, she lightly steered the conversation elsewhere, "I came to the Capital City with my mother some days ago. She got hold of some fine books you might like. Would you care to have a look?"
"Sure."
Yhan Qingwu and her mother lived in a row of detached houses in the Capital City, commonly known as a villa area. It’s located not too far and not too close to the city center, about a twenty-minute drive away. However, traffic jams in Capital City can be severe; sometimes it could take an hour, but fortunately, it was not rush hour at the moment.
Now, Tang Hanyan treated Sui Yi as if she were another daughter. She didn’t hold back with her cooking skills that day, personally cooking a table of delicious dishes and contributing several precious ancient books. As all three women were somewhat interested in this topic, they even discussed some of the content in the books until reluctantly calling it quits around one or two in the afternoon, since Sui Yi had classes in the afternoon. Yhan Qingwu, on the other hand, had a bit more free time as a philosophy major... quite special indeed. Find the newest release on NoveI[F]ire.net
This time, Sui Yi didn’t let Yhan Qingwu drive her back because rush hour was approaching, and taking the subway would be faster.
When Sui Yi returned to the university and went to the dormitory to fetch her books, she just stepped into the dorm and paused, her eyes taking in the silence before she gently closed the door.
She arrived at the classroom ten minutes before the start of the lesson, but... the classroom door was unusually bustling...
The faces were unfamiliar, seeming to be students from other departments.
It didn’t seem like the elective courses had started yet...
"Sui Yi!"
"Sui Yi has arrived... Haha, now it’s going to get interesting."
Interesting?
Sui Yi walked into the classroom and immediately saw someone.
Sitting in the spot she used to occupy frequently, the occupant turned to face the shouts. The windows were open, the curtains swayed by the breeze, strands of her hair floated, brushing her cheeks and chin, swaying with the wind. The light from outside danced on her eyelashes and lingered on the tips of her hair...
In that moment, there might have been a type of beauty called tranquility.
It was akin to the serene air from the Buddhist Family, like the Fragrance of Brahman.
Their gazes met.
It was her.
They both must have had a fleeting thought in their hearts, but neither showed any reaction.
Sui Yi walked over.
Amidst the excitement and mild embarrassment of the other archaeology students...
They had wanted to tell the stunning new beauty that the seat was always occupied by Sui Yi, but she was too beautiful, her charm rivalling that of Sui Yi, and her scholarly demeanor gave her a fragile look, ethereal in her loose linen clothes. Yet, there was one thing they had in common.
——Aloofness.
It was a vibe that made them both seem unapproachable, as if both beauties had maxed out that skill point.
So, no one had actually gone over to remind her.
That’s why it was interesting now that Sui Yi had arrived.
There’s an old saying that two tigers cannot share one mountain, and the same goes for two great beauties in one place; their mere encounter over a seat could easily lead to calamity!
Thinking this way seemed a bit inappropriate, but it was as if they were eager to see the two reserved beauties clash!
And so, as the atmosphere grew strangely tense...
The girl moved inwards to vacate a seat, and Sui Yi sat down.
