Chapter 52: Back to School

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Back at Li Garden… Jian Dan saw a huge wedding photograph hanging on the wall in the living room the moment she entered. The two of them were lying on the ground with their heads facing each other, looking at each other affectionately…

...

Jian Dan scurried over to the wedding photograph. “This is my favorite wedding photo.”

Jian Dan walked over to Chu Liyuan and wrapped her arms around his waist. She placed her chin on Chu Liyuan’s chest and looked at him gratefully. “Uncle, you’re the best!”

Chu Liyuan looked at Jian Dan and gave a devilish smile. He carried Jian Dan over his shoulder and strode back to the bedroom. As for what he did after returning to the bedroom, please use your imagination…

Logically speaking, a straight-A student like Jian Dan should have completed her credits long ago, but…

Sigh… Physical education! Physical education! It had seriously held her back. Physical education was a compulsory subject for first and second-year students. Jian Dan was already in her fourth year and about to graduate, but she had yet to complete it.

Something had happened to the first-year computer science lecturer, so the school temporarily asked Professor Wang to be the lecturer. Professor Wang had been informed of this appointment at the last minute. As he was still overseas and could not come back in time, he asked Jian Dan to be his teaching assistant and help him prepare in advance.

Jian Dan initially wanted to refuse. After all, she had not completed her credits. Professor Wang knew about this, so he told Jian Dan that as his teaching assistant, she could attend physical education classes with the freshmen. This would help her earn credits. Jian Dan thought about it and agreed.

Therefore, Jian Dan returned to school early.

In order to earn credits, Jian Dan was forced to do so. Jian Dan got up and went to the track to train before dawn, at five in the morning.

The sun slowly rose, and a hint of red appeared on the horizon. Jian Dan stopped in her tracks and kept panting. She raised her chin slightly and slowly calmed her breathing…

Not far away, a gaze locked onto Jian Dan.

When Ling Xiaoyang saw Jian Dan, his heart seemed to skip a beat. He watched with rapt attention and could not take his eyes off her…

Until his roommate—Han Yi—patted him. “What are you looking at? Why are you so engrossed?” Han Yi followed his gaze.

When Ling Xiaoyang snapped back from his reverie and looked over, Jian Dan had already disappeared.

On the day that school officially started, Jian Dan had already prepared the professor’s teaching materials in advance. The professor entered the classroom, and Jian Dan followed behind him.

The originally lively classroom fell silent after the professor entered.

“Your lecturer will only return to class after a few days because of some matters, so 1’11 temporarily take over. My surname is Wang; I’m Wang Chuheng,” Professor Wang said.

Everyone at J University’s faculty of Computer Science knew Professor Wang Chuheng. He’s the top-rated professor in the faculty of Computer Science.

“This is my teaching assistant, Jian Dan.” Professor Wang introduced Jian Dan to everyone.

“Hello, everyone. I’m Jian Dan. I’m in my fourth year. If you can’t find Professor Wang, you can look for me.” Jian Dan introduced herself.

Everyone was listening attentively. After all, the person on the podium was the top-rated professor, Wang Chuheng. No one dared to be negligent, but there was someone who was in a reverie.

From time to time… that figure from that day in that moment would appear in Ling Xiaoyang’s mind.

For the past few days, Ling Xiaoyang felt as if he was possessed. No matter what he did, he could not get his spirits up. He had investigated all the freshmen but could not find that person.

“Wake up quickly. Professor Wang is here now.” As the top-rated professor of computer science, Professor Wang had a temper.

Only then did Ling Xiaoyang look towards the podium. The figure that had been haunting his mind appeared before him. He gazed intently at Jian Dan and the corners of his mouth curled up.

After class, the professor left promptly, leaving Jian Dan to pack up. “Jian Dan?” Avery pleasant male voice emanated from behind Jian Dan.

Jian Dan turned around and saw a bright and handsome guy standing behind her. He was smiling at her. “Hello.” Jian Dan greeted him. “What’s up?”

“Ling Xiaoyang. I will definitely need your guidance in the future.” Ling Xiaoyang extended his hand to Jian Dan.

Jian Dan looked at Ling Xiaoyang and said with a smile, “It’s my duty as a teaching assistant.” Then, Jian Dan left.

Ling Xiaoyang stared after Jian Dan’s departing figure with a smile on his face… No wonder he could not find her. What Ling Xiaoyang could not believe was that she was already in her fourth year.

“Let’s go! Let’s go eat, my treat!” Ling Xiaoyang smiled and said to Han Yi.

“What’s going on with you? You’ve been listless for the past few days. Why are you suddenly so energetic?” Han Yi gave Ling Xiaoyang a weird look.

Ling Xiaoyang looked at the confused Han Yi with a smile. Without saying a word, he hooked his arm around Han Yi’s neck and walked out of the classroom.

Jian Dan was very busy these few days, so she did not go home and stayed in the dormitory instead. She had not seen Chu Liyuan for a few days; so after class, Jian Dan took a cab to Qin Corporation.

Jian Dan had just stepped into Qin Corporation when she was stopped by someone. Only then did Jian Dan realize that the reception in Qin Corporation had a change of staff.

“Hello, Miss. What can 1 do for you?” One of the receptionists said to Jian Dan.

“I’m looking for Chu Liyuan!” Jian Dan said.

“Do you have an appointment?” the receptionist asked.

“Appointment? No.” Jian Dan shook her head and said. Jian Dan wanted to give Chu Liyuan a surprise, so she did not tell him that she was coming over.

“I’m sorry, but we can’t let you in without an appointment,” the receptionist said.

She did not expect that she would be kept out just because she had not been here for a few days.

What should she Jo? Just as Jian Dan was pondering about it, she saw Li Jing exiting the elevator…

“Mr. Li!” Jian Dan hollered.

Li Jing looked up and saw Jian Dan. He walked over quickly. “Why are you here all of a sudden?”

Jian Dan smiled. “The staff at reception won’t let me in. You…” Jian Dan whispered.

Li Jing looked at the receptionists and said, “I’ll bring you in.”

Seeing that the woman was brought in by Mr. Li, the receptionists were dumbfounded. After all, they were quite far away and the two of them spoke softly, so the receptionists could not hear their conversation.

Jian Dan and Li Jing arrived at the 33rd floor together…

“Go on in!” Li Jing smiled and said.

Anyone who entered Chu Liyuan’s office needed permission. But was Jian Dan anyone? Obviously not.

Jian Dan smiled and nodded before walking towards Chu Liyuan’s office.

Jian Dan cautiously opened the office door and tiptoed in… Chu Liyuan was sitting at his desk, reviewing documents.

Jian Dan squatted down and slowly inched towards Chu Liyuan, quiet as a mouse. When she got behind Chu Liyuan, she slowly got up and prepared to cover his eyes with her hands. However, just as she raised her hands, Chu Liyuan turned around and pulled Jian Dan into his arms…

Chu Liyuan already knew it the moment Jian Dan entered; he was just pretending not to know.

Jian Dan was stunned by Chu Liyuan’s sudden action…

Chu Liyuan hugged Jian Dan—who was sitting in his lap—tightly. He had not seen this lass for a few days and was missing her terribly. He had already decided to go to her campus to “capture” her and bring her home tonight. But, she beat him to it and came knocking on his door instead..
