Huo Zhongyuan didn't drive over, considering it was rush hour and there would definitely be traffic jams on the road.

He checked the transportation options and found that taking the subway was the most convenient and fastest way to get from the company to Aurora.

So much so that when he stood in front of her based on the location Sui Sui had sent, she still had half a bowl of osmanthus soup left to drink.

"Senior Brother Huo!"

Su Yue was the first to spot Huo Zhongyuan, and she jumped up.

"Senior Brother Huo!"

"Hmm~"

Huo Zhongyuan nodded slightly and pulled out the stool next to Qin Suisui to sit down.

Upon hearing Yueyue speak, Qin Suisui turned her head and saw Huo Zhongyuan.

Her eyes revealed surprise.

"Senior Brother Huo, how did you get here so fast?"

Huo Zhongyuan sat down and looked at the osmanthus soup in front of her. His brows furrowed slightly, but the frown vanished in an instant.

"I took the subway here, and there was no traffic jam on the way."

"Why did you decide to come to Jing'an Street to eat these snacks today?"

"I suddenly have a craving for food."

Qin Suisui lowered her head and ate in small bites with a spoon.

Seeing that Sui Sui was having difficulty swallowing, Huo Zhongyuan simply took her bowl to her side and took the spoon from her hand.

"If you don't want to eat, then don't. Is it comfortable to be so full?"

"uncomfortable!"

Qin Suisui happily let go and watched her senior brother Huo drink the osmanthus soup in big gulps.

Su Yue watched the interaction between the two with envy. She looked down at the remaining osmanthus soup in front of her and made a bitter face.

She looked around and saw that the elderly couple were busy, so she quickly poured the remaining osmanthus soup from her bowl into the empty bowl next to her.

"Phew~"

She patted her chest: "Finally solved!"

Qin Suisui leaned against Huo Zhongyuan, laughing so hard she couldn't straighten up.

Huo Zhongyuan looked up at Qin Suisui and a smile appeared on his lips.

He then finished it in a few gulps.

He helped Qin Suisui to her feet.

"Do you two want to eat somewhere else?"

"No, no, no, we're not eating anymore, I want to go home."

Su Yue quickly waved her hand. Senior Brother Huo is really... He knows they're almost sick of eating, yet he still asks where to eat?

Haha, what a hypocritical man!

"Let's take Yueyue home first!"

Qin Suisui reached out and tugged at his fingers, but he gripped them tightly in return.

Huo Zhongyuan looked down at her: "Sui Sui, where did you park your car?"

"Stop inside the school!"

"Um!"

Huo Zhongyuan raised an eyebrow slightly: "The school gatekeeper actually let your car in?"

"Of course!"

Qin Suisui slightly raised her chin.

"I have the school's vehicle access pass!"

"Professor Ji gave it to me!"

Her tone unconsciously carried a hint of pride.

"Professor Ji gave it to me when I treated him to dinner before the Lunar New Year!"

"It seems that Sui Sui holds a high place in Professor Ji's heart!"

Huo Zhongyuan raised his hand and gently pinched the tip of her nose.

"well!"

Qin Suisui sighed and looked up at him, her expression full of helplessness.

"Professor Ji wants me to return to the university to teach private international law!"

"You agreed?"

Huo Zhongyuan suppressed a smile. These alumni were often coaxed by the school's senior professors in various ways to return to the school to teach major courses.

"What do you think? I was just about to refuse when Professor Ji was either suffering from a headache or heartache, nothing seemed to be normal. But as soon as I agreed, he could run a thousand meters in an instant!"

"The thought of having to prepare lessons and teach at school every week makes me feel a bit overwhelmed!"

Qin Suisui never expected that Professor Ji could be so good at bluffing.

Sensing Sui Sui's utter despair, Huo Zhongyuan suppressed a laugh and feigned calmness.

"Actually, it's not that complicated. A few years ago, Professor Guang Sheng from our department also invited me to teach a course at the university."

"The reason why the school chose us is because of our practical skills, that is, our real-world experience. Book knowledge is never enough, especially for finance and court majors, which need practical experience the most."

"If you read the books thoroughly and combine them with the litigation cases you have handled, and summarize your experiences, these are the practical experiences that students who are about to graduate want to know most."

Qin Suisui listened attentively to Senior Brother Huo's suggestion, her arm linked with his, her expression thoughtful.

Su Yue walked beside Sui Sui, and at that moment she felt particularly superfluous.

She was typing away rapidly.

"Cheng Lao Er, you have ten minutes to come to the north gate of Aurora University to pick up your great-aunt. If you dare to stand your great-aunt up, you're dead!"

Because it was lunchtime, the food street, which was only a few hundred meters long, made them walk a kilometer.

When they reached the north gate of Aurora University, Su Yue refused to continue walking with them.

"Sui Sui, I'm not going with you guys. Cheng Ting will come pick me up later!"

"ah!"

Qin Suisui looked at Su Yue: "Are you sure?"

Was there suspicion in her eyes?

"Confirmed, Cheng Er will arrive at the North Gate in no more than five minutes!"

Su Yue nodded in affirmation. She raised her hand to wave goodbye, but suddenly remembered that Cheng Ting had asked her to ask Sui Sui about the house in the group chat earlier.

"Sui Sui, Cheng Ting just asked when the remaining balance of the house payment can be paid in full."

"Money for the house?"

Qin Suisui frowned and considered for a while.

"I have a lawsuit on my hands right now, and the trial will probably start in about ten days, around the middle of next month."

At that time, she had just completed all the formalities for her apartment in Manston.

"I received a payment in the middle of the month."

"Okay! I'll ask Cheng Er to tell the landlord when I see him later."

Su Yue stopped and waved goodbye to them.

"Sui Sui, are you short on funds?"

Huo Zhongyuan didn't want Sui Sui to be under too much pressure because of this money, so he made a cautious suggestion.

Do you need me to lend you some money first?

Qin Suisui smiled and declined.

“No need! My real estate agent in Manston has confirmed with me that the payment will be deposited into my account by next week at the latest.”

Huo Zhongyuan nodded.

"Just tell me if you need it!"

"Yes, I will!"

Qin Suisui didn't want to continue discussing the house payment, so she changed the subject.

"Senior Brother Huo, what was your favorite place at Aurora University during your university years?"

My favorite place is where we met by chance.

Huo Zhongyuan can still clearly remember the surprise he felt when he first met Qin Suisui on the Aurora University campus.

The girl in my memory, having shed her naivety, stood at the welcome party, unintentionally revealing her brilliance.

Many years later, he still remembers it vividly.

"I love the lawn in front of the Aurora Library the most!"

Whenever the wisteria blossoms, you can always see Sui Sui sitting under the vines, the spring sunshine falling on the girl's face.

April is a time of fragrant blossoms and vibrant spring.

"Does my senior also like to sit on the lawn in front of the library and read?"

Qin Suisui looked pleasantly surprised.

"I like it too! I love the wisteria trellis in front of the lawn the most!"

"Why haven't I run into Senior Brother Huo even once?!"

Her voice trailed off, her tone betraying her regret.

Because at that time, you were completely focused on Yu Chengjue and had long forgotten Uncle Ji from Nanyang Street.
