Chapter 59: Just a Senior?

The two reporters who had just spoken were shocked to see the situation reversed in an instant. They looked at each other and prepared to escape in the chaos.

But with just a glance from Li Beiting, the security guards quickly controlled the two men.

He said coldly, "As a news media person, you have no professional ethics and are not qualified to be a reporter."

After saying this, Li Beiting turned and left.

Let the assistant handle this.

When he came out, he found Jiang Yao standing at the door.

His thin back reveals a certain toughness, which makes people feel inexplicably distressed.

He walked over quickly and said, "Let's go home."

Jiang Yao breathed a sigh of relief when he saw it was him and nodded.

There was no conversation on the way back, and Li Beiting was considerate and didn't say anything.

Although he mustered up the courage to face the shadow of the past, Jiang Yao's mood was still affected.

After getting off the car, he said goodbye to Li Beiting absentmindedly.

I didn't even have an appetite for dinner when I got home.

Mother Wang was a little worried, but out of respect, she didn't ask any more questions. She just told her that if she was hungry, she could heat up the food.

In the evening, Jiang Yao went to the open-air balcony to get some fresh air.

The night is beautiful today, and the evening breeze gently blows her hair and cheeks, as if it can take away all her worries.

Jiang Yao held his chin with one hand, but his eyes suddenly caught sight of a slender figure on the balcony opposite.

The two people looked at each other from a distance.

Time seemed to stop.

The wind blew between the two of them.

It took Jiang Yao a while to come back to his senses and saw a telescope next to Li Beiting.

She blinked curiously, hesitated for a moment, and took out her phone: [Senior, are you looking at astronomy?]

After a while, Li Beiting sent a message back: [Want to watch it together? ]

Jiang Yao was a little surprised by his invitation.

But perhaps she was in a bad mood today, so she let herself go and did whatever she wanted for once. She replied with an OK, put on some clothes, went downstairs, and rang the door of the villa opposite.

The doorbell rang and opened automatically.

Li Beiting had been waiting at the door for a long time, with a gleam in his eyes.

"Come with me."

His attitude was too normal, like treating a friend, so Jiang Yao didn't feel embarrassed.

Follow the man upstairs to the balcony.

Li Beiting set up the telescope, adjusted the angle, and motioned for her, "Come and take a look."

Jiang Yao walked forward curiously, and what came into view was a sky full of stars. The universe seemed to be very close at this moment.

“So beautiful!”

The beautiful starry sky was reflected in her eyes, and she couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

“The universe is vast, with billions of stars, but less than ten thousand can be observed with the naked eye.”

The man's magnetic voice sounded in the night, sounding hazy and pleasant.

"However, with the advancement of technology and the help of telescopes, we can now see stars that were previously invisible."

"The area you're looking at is a group of stars, and its longitude and latitude are close to the North Star."

“Although it’s not as bright as the North Star, it’s my favorite star to observe…”

When it comes to astronomy, Li Beiting speaks more than twice as much as usual.

Jiang Yao listened with great interest and did not find it boring at all. Instead, he was interested and wanted to know more.

And she discovered that Li Beiting really loved the sky.

The field he researched was not limited to aerospace machinery, and his knowledge was even richer than she had imagined.

After listening for a long time, Jiang Yao asked a few questions from time to time, and Li Beiting answered every question.

Unconsciously, her mood improved and her brows relaxed.

"Thank you for teaching me this, Senior."

You could say she was being too sentimental, but Li Beiting did comfort her this time.

A brilliant smile appeared on her face, which in Li Beiting's eyes seemed brighter than the stars in the sky.

"Friends don't have to thank me over and over again. You helped me close the deal, so consider it a reward, right?"

Li Beiting's tone was natural.

Jiang Yao felt warm in his heart.

Friends!

That's a good name.

"Yeah, that's true. I won't be polite to you in the future."

Jiang Yao looked down at his phone and said, "It's getting late. I should go back."

Li Beiting sent her to the door, and before leaving, the man suddenly spoke.

"I will help you investigate that matter and find evidence."

Jiang Yao was stunned, and quickly realized that he was talking about human traffickers.

She said that someone was deliberately trying to harm her and she would investigate the murderer.

And he believed what he said and was willing to help him find evidence.

Jiang Yao's heart softened, and the words of thanks were on the tip of his tongue, but then he remembered that he said there was no need to keep thanking him, so he changed his words in an instant.

"Then I'll trouble you, Senior."

"Um."

Li Beiting's eyes were deep as he watched her return home before closing the door.

As Jiang Yao entered the house, a faint voice sounded in his ears.

"Miss, you are very familiar with the gentleman next door!"

Jiang Yao was startled.

She saw Wang Ma coming to her side at some point with a complicated expression on her face.

"Miss, some men are very bad. Don't trust men easily."

She is such a good lady, and she is going to be taken away by a pig before she can even enjoy two days of happiness at home?

No, she had to go back and talk to the eldest young master about this matter and ask him to investigate the background of the man opposite.

Jiang Yao covered his chest, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

"Auntie Wang, why are your footsteps so silent when you walk?"

"He's my senior, and he happens to live across the street. I just went to chat with him. He's not what you imagined..."

"Just a senior?"

Aunt Wang obviously didn't believe it, but she could see that the young lady had been out for nearly an hour before returning, and her mood improved at a visible speed.

"...Yeah! Okay, Aunt Wang, stop imagining things. He has a girlfriend."

Jiang Yao quickly changed the subject.

"I'm a little hungry, can you go get me something hot to eat?"

When she heard that she was hungry, Wang Ma immediately lost interest in gossiping.

"I'll prepare it for you right away."

Only after everyone left did Jiang Yao feel a little relieved.

I don't know what I was so nervous about just now. We were just friends.

The next day, when Jiang Yao came to school, he could clearly feel many people's eyes on him.

Obviously, the news from yesterday's reporter's interview was leaked.

They should know more or less about her affairs.

Jiang Yao clenched his fists and prepared himself mentally.

This day would come sooner or later. Thinking of how she had faced a group of contemptuous, disgusted and disdainful eyes alone, she took a deep breath.

It’s okay, it’s not like she hasn’t been through this before. She now has family, friends, and a strong backing, so she can face it all.

After entering the research institute team, Lian Yingying's expression suddenly changed when she saw her. She then walked forward and frowned slightly.

"Senior Jiang Yao..."
