Chapter 69 Chapter 69
At noon, Wen Shuo had lunch with Ren Li's parents, chatted for a while, and then stood up to say goodbye.
Although he and Ren Li often stayed together overnight in Beijing, this time was different after all. This was Ren Li's home, and she still needed to stay here before getting married.
"Are we leaving?" Ren Li saw Wen Shuo take the car keys and turned to Ren Quan and Jiang Lan and said, "Mom and Dad, I want to go out shopping with Wen Shuo this afternoon. Is that okay?"
When Ren Quan heard her say this, he silently shed bitter tears in his heart as an old father.
Never mind. My daughter has grown up now, so it’s normal for her to want to spend more time with her boyfriend.
On the other side, Lin Yuan was equally reluctant: "Then you guys go out for a walk. Remember to come back early for dinner."
"Thank you, Mom," Ren Li said, naturally taking Wen Shuo's arm. "Let's just go for a drive. It won't be too late."
She followed Wen Shuo out the door, and her steps became much lighter as she went down the stairs.
It was still the same as she remembered. There were new posters in the elevator and the familiar mailbox was still in the lobby on the first floor.
But everything was indeed a little different today, because she brought Wen Shuo back, and it was the first time for him to meet her parents as her boyfriend.
"Where are we going now?" Ren Li asked. "Should we go to No. 4 Middle School? I've actually been missing Teacher He and the others."
"Anywhere is fine," Wen Shuo said. "No matter where you go, I'll go with you."
So they drove back to the No. 4 Middle School campus.
The four golden characters "XX No. 4 Middle School" at the school gate are still dazzling, and the marble has been renovated, making it look much more imposing.
New slogans have been put up on the railings on the playground, and other young people full of vigor and vitality are sweating on the basketball court.
Everything goes round and round, and new stories are played out here.
The security guard at the door still remembered Wen Shuo, so he waved and let them in. Following the path they remembered, they easily found the teachers' office.
Ren Li thought she should buy a bouquet of flowers to bring over, so Wen Shuo asked his assistant to help order a bouquet of flowers for each teacher and deliver it to the teacher's lesson plan before they arrived.
Although he has graduated for four years, Wen Shuo is still a legend in No. 4 Middle School, and his deeds have been passed down among teachers and students.
As an outstanding student representative of No. 4 Middle School, he was able to take the helm of a US-listed company shortly after graduation. Therefore, he became an excellent role model that every teacher in No. 4 Middle School would use to inspire his younger classmates.
And now, his version of the story is about to be updated again - four years later, Senior Wen Shuo is together with the girl he liked in high school. They return to the campus together, revisit the old place and visit the teachers who taught them.
So the campus tabloids added some more explosive stuff to the legend of senior Wen Shuo, such as how he pursued that senior girl back then, how dedicated and serious he was, and so on.
After all, people like this who only appear in novels are rare, so on the way to the teacher's office, Ren Li had already received envious glances from some of her schoolmates.
Four years later, Mr. He has been promoted to the head teacher of the grade. In his office, he was delighted to see Wen Shuo, but he couldn't help but nag him non-stop:
"You little brat, it's been four years, why did you only remember to come and see me now?"
Ren Li was holding Wen Shuo's hand and standing beside him, listening to the familiar teachings with a smile on her face.
After Teacher He finished nagging, he glanced at Ren Li and couldn't help asking, "So, are you two together now?"
Wen Shuo raised his eyebrows: "Of course. It shouldn't be considered puppy love now."
"This kid..." He Guang was still muttering something when Chinese teacher Zhao Xinmei, who had just finished her last class, walked in from outside, holding a pile of books.
"Teacher He, why are there so many people outside the corridor?" After she walked in and saw Wen Shuo and Ren Li, she was stunned at first, then blurted out unconsciously, "Oh my god, am I hallucinating? Are these Ren Li and Wen Shuo?!"
"Teacher Zhao." Ren Li called sweetly.
"Ah, it really is you two." Zhao Xinmei suddenly felt a sense of relief, like the ending of a campus novel she'd been following. She looked at Ren Li and nodded, "As expected, I told you, you and Wen Shuo are the perfect match."
"Ah?" Ren Li said.
"Hey, it's okay, I was just kidding." Teacher Zhao squinted his eyes and smiled, changing the subject. "Wow, these flowers are really beautiful. Did you buy them specially for me?"
After chatting with the teachers for a while, Ren Li and Wen Shuo said goodbye and went back in order not to delay their classes.
Coming out of No. 4 Middle School, I walked through the familiar streets, and saw cars stopping and starting in the small town.
During this time, Ren Li got off the car and went to McDonald's to buy two ice cream cones. After returning to the car, the two ate in the car in the parking lot. Wen Shuo was eating the second half-price ice cream cone. In the middle of the meal, he couldn't help but want to cheat and kissed her for a long time on the pretext that there was ice cream on the corner of her mouth.
It feels so good.
Wen Shuo couldn't help but think in his heart.
After getting back together with Ren Li, the six months were probably the happiest six months of his life.
He knew that there would be happier times waiting for them in the future.
He promised to take care of Ren Li and make her happy for the rest of her life, so no matter what happens in the future, he will love her wholeheartedly until death separates them.
