Jiang Li asked, “You don’t recognize her?”

Bo Jingshen replied in a low voice, “I don’t have much of an impression. Maybe she was a former classmate.”

Jiang Li said, “Well, my luck is really poor to encounter someone like you who lacks camaraderie. I’ve never heard you talk about anything from your university days. Why don’t you share some impressions from your time in college?”

When Bo Jingshen heard this, he didn’t say anything. His gaze was like a feather as he glanced at Su Lu. It was light, but it seemed to have scratched his heart.

Su Lu pressed her lips together, and her fingers tightened slightly.

Fortunately, Jiang Li didn’t notice these details.

The brief interlude involving Jiang Minhui quickly settled down.

Bo Jingshen lowered his eyes and fiddled with his phone. He didn’t have any intention of blocking Su Lu’s view, so Su Lu sat beside him. Even if it was just a casual glance, she could see the content on the screen very clearly.

It was unclear how long it had been since he last opened the app or the QQ group chat. The class reunion details were displayed there.

Su Lu couldn’t help but glance at his expressionless and handsome side profile. No matter how cold this man’s expression was, some corners of his heart were still burning.

When they left the restaurant, Jiang Li had no intention of going with them.

Second Young Master Jiang wasn’t keen on being a third wheel either. He chuckled and said, “I’ll be on my way then. I’ve ordered a yacht, and it’s almost time for delivery. Since I’m in Hai City, I might as well take a look.”

“Get lost,” Bo Jingshen waved his hand.

Jiang Li, with a cheerful expression, wasn’t offended. He said, “You agreed to the investment, don’t go back on your word.”

“I, Bo Jingshen, will never go back my words.”

After hearing his words, Jiang Li felt relieved and didn’t bother with him any longer.

He turned to Su Lu and said, “Hey, Su Lu, let’s discuss the project details when we return to Feng City.”

“Alright,” Su Lu replied.

Jiang Li pondered for a moment and added, “This is a personal collaboration between you and me. Don’t involve anything else.”

Su Lu understood that Jiang Li didn’t want any traces of the Su family or Gu family to be mixed in.

She smiled and nodded, “Of course, I wouldn’t want that either.”

Only then did Jiang Li leave happily.

As soon as he left, Su Lu felt a strong presence by her side.

When she turned her gaze, she found Bo Jingshen at a close distance.

“Shall we… go back to the hotel?” Su Lu glanced at the time. It was still early, and the rain had stopped. The ground was merely wet, and the wind had subsided. The air had become fresher after the previous heavy winds and rainstorms.

Su Lu recalled the address of his class reunion that she had glimpsed earlier, so when she saw Bo Jingshen didn’t answer, she added, “Or do you have somewhere else to go?”

“Yeah, I’m going to Ocean University of Science and Technology.” Bo Jingshen looked at her intently.

“Then I…”

The words “go back to the hotel” were on the tip of her tongue, but before she could say them, he interrupted her.

“Come with me.”

He looked down at her with a hint of a smile in his eyes. “After all, I invested in a project. President Su, you have to give me that much face.”

His slightly playful attitude relaxed Su Lu, and she smiled, pursing her lips. “Yes, I have to give you a face.”

Ocean University of Science and Technology was Bo Jingshen’s alma mater, a prestigious institution located in a coastal city. The campus scenery was among the top three in the country.

He had spent his four years of college here, pouring his youth into this place.

Among the three to five colleges in the university town, the Ocean University of Science and Technology was the largest, the most beautiful, and also the most famous.

As they entered the university town, the surroundings felt both unfamiliar and familiar.

Su Lu suddenly realized that this was not only the place where Bo Jingshen had spent his youth, but also where she had once experienced her youthful days.

Su Lu looked at the shops that she had visited in the past, which were still in operation.

Even though it had only been five years, it felt like ages apart.

The car stopped in front of the grand entrance of Ocean University of Science and Technology, and Su Lu followed Bo Jingshen inside.

At the entrance, the security guard stopped them because they didn’t have a student ID. However, the security guard quickly recognized Bo Jingshen’s face.

“Oh! You’re the person from the publicity board!” the security guard exclaimed. “Your photo is on the Top Ten Outstanding Students’ board! I recognize you.”

Once the security guard learned that Bo Jingshen was here to visit a former teacher, the security guard didn’t impede them any further. They only had to register their entry and exit before being allowed through.

But when he saw Su Lu, who also didn’t have a student ID…

The security guard had initially intended for Su Lu to register, but after a moment’s thought, he said, “Is she your wife? If she is, then there’s no need to register. You can enter together.”

Su Lu was taken aback. She didn’t even have the time to admit, refute, or respond.

A low and affirmative voice came from the man beside her.

“Yes.”

Just a faint “yes.”

As Su Lu walked into the campus, her feet felt a bit unsteady.

She was not unfamiliar with the scenery around her. She had visited Ocean University of Science and Technology many times before with Bo Jingshen. She studied at Haiyi University next door. There were various ways to enter Ocean University of Science and Technology, and being an engineering school, it had more male students than female ones.

On the other hand, Haiyi University was mostly composed of female students, and it seemed like even the security guards turned a blind eye to the girls from the neighboring art university who came to visit, perhaps out of consideration for the lonely boys from their university.

At this moment, the surrounding scenery did not change. There were still young boys pushing bicycles on the roads along the tree-lined roads, exuding a carefree youthfulness.

It felt as if nothing had changed, except that she had grown older.

Some people recognized Bo Jingshen from a distance and started discussing him, but none of them dared to approach him.

“D*mn! Did I see it right? Is that Bo Jingshen?”

“Bo Jingshen? Which Bo Jingshen?”

“Come on, how many Bo Jingshen do you think there are?! The one from the publicity board! Top Ten Outstanding Students! And he’s the best-looking one among the top ten.”

“Oh d*mn, I remember now! It really is him! And he’s the richest too! Ah, I want to ask, senior, can I come and work for you? I may be weak, pitiful, and helpless, but I can eat a lot. Do you need more workers… Oh wait, should I say, ‘rice buckets’ instead?”

However, due to Bo Jingshen’s cold and unexpressive demeanor, no one dared to approach him.

The teacher’s housing area was located in the northeast corner of the campus. It was filled with small five-story public houses. They were specially allocated to the teachers of the university in the past, but now they appeared somewhat outdated.

The teachers were generally well-treated, and there were many residential buildings near the university town, so many teachers no longer lived there.

Bo Jingshen walked into a unit with familiarity, climbed two flights of stairs, and knocked on the door on the left.

His familiar gesture made it seem as if he had never left, as if he had never been an influential business magnate abroad, but just a proud and successful student visiting his mentor’s home.
