"I'm fine, but Mom doesn't seem to have slept well."

Fang Jingyao looked up at Wen Yixing.

Wen Yixing smiled and said, "It's okay, I'll just go back and catch up on some sleep."

The three of them walked forward, chatting and laughing.

Not long after they started walking, Wen Yixing heard someone calling Shen Jingshao's name from not far away.

Looking back, I saw a man wearing a floral shirt and sunglasses.

Wen Yixing thought he looked familiar at first glance, but recognized him at second glance.

It turned out to be Lu Xingye, whom I hadn't seen in a long time.

"It really is you! I thought I was seeing things. What are you...?"

Since Wen Yixing went abroad, she has not seen Lu Xingye, and Lu Xingye has not seen her either.

Upon their sudden meeting, Lu Xing didn't recognize Wen Yixing at all, and thought she was a relative of Shen Jingshao.

Before he could finish speaking, Lu Xing adjusted his sunglasses, revealing a pair of captivating eyes.

Then her peach blossom eyes widened slightly, and she looked at Wen Yixing with some surprise: "Wen Yixing?"

Lu Xingye glanced down at the handsome young man beside Wen Yixing, momentarily dazed: "Yao Yao?"

Fang Jingyao didn't particularly like Lu Xingye, but out of politeness, he still addressed him as "Uncle Lu".

Lu Xingye: "You've grown so tall!"

Fang Jingyao has grown very quickly in the past two years, and he is now almost up to Wen Yixing's shoulder.

What surprised Lu Xing as well was Wen Yixing's change; Wen Yixing's current temperament was completely different from before.

That's why Lu Xing didn't recognize Wen Yixing at first.

Because of something that happened a few years ago, Lu Xing also had some unpleasantness with Fang Shiyan and Shen Jingshao.

In recent years, he has almost always been working abroad and rarely returned to China, and his contact with Shen Jingshao has not been as frequent as before.

He never expected that Shen Jingshao and Wen Yixing would be together for so long.

It has been more than five years since Wen Yixing got divorced.

Looking at Lu Xingye's flamboyant outfit, Shen Jingshao asked, "Did you go to Sanya for vacation?"

Lu Xingye: "Haha, I just got back from Sanya. Let's go out for a drink together when you're free."

Shen Jingshao glanced at Wen Yixing before speaking, "It's not possible recently, my family is quite strict."

Lu Xing also choked, then chuckled dryly, his gaze falling on Wen Yixing: "I heard you went to study abroad?"

Wen Yixing: "Yes, I graduated this year."

Fang Jingyao added from the side, "He graduated with a doctorate!"

Lu Xing was even more astonished: "So fast? It's only been a few years, and you've already graduated with a doctorate?"

Fang Jingyao knew the answer to this question and immediately replied, "Because my mother is outstanding, she went straight to becoming a doctor!"

Such an opportunity is indeed hard to come by, which shows that Wen Yixing is really amazing.

I originally thought Wen Yixing might be attending a relatively simple university.

Lu Xing asked a few more questions, clinging to a sliver of hope, only to be utterly shocked.

Wen Yixing's school in France is not an ordinary university; it is the best university in France for film studies.

Lu Xing graduated from this school many years ago, so he knows very well how difficult it is to graduate from this school.

“Speaking of which, we’re alumni!” Lu Xing also took out his phone and opened WeChat. “Could we exchange contact information? I think we can exchange ideas more often.”

After these words were spoken, the atmosphere inexplicably froze for a few seconds, and no one present spoke.

Fang Jingyao just felt that Lu Xingye was a strange person.

Could this be a blatant attempt to poach talent?

Lu Xing realized he had misspoke and smiled at Shen Jingshao: "It's just an academic exchange, an exchange about film. You don't mind, do you, Lao Shen?"

Shen Jingshao stared at Lu Xingye for a few seconds without expression: "Mind?"

Lu Xingye: "......"

Wen Yixing took out a business card from her bag and said gently, "Director Lu, my contact information is on it. Let's not add each other on WeChat, someone will be unhappy."

Lu Xing knew that Wen Yixing was trying to save face for him, so he smiled and accepted it, saying, "Okay."

Then, looking at Shen Jingshao, Lu Xing whispered, afraid that Shen Jingshao would really be angry, "Don't overthink it. I'm not interested in my friend's girlfriend, I swear."

Shen Jingshao knew that Wen Yixing wasn't interested in a rotten cucumber like Lu Xingye.

They also knew that Lu Xing was just a smart aleck.

Out of politeness, Wen Yixing said, "Director Lu, we can cooperate with each other in the future if there is an opportunity."

Lu Xing also smiled: "No problem."

Lu Xingye was actually quite curious about Wen Yixing's experiences.

However, given that there was a menacing figure standing there, he didn't dare to ask too many questions.

Five years ago, Lu Xing would never have imagined that he would one day become so interested in Wen Yixing.

Of course, I'm only interested in being friends with them.

He exchanged a few more polite words.

Lu Xing couldn't stand Shen Jingshao's deep gaze either, so he made an excuse and left.

After he left, the area finally quieted down.

Wen Yixing exclaimed, "Lu Xingye, he really is so eloquent."

Fang Jingyao agreed: "Yes."

Shen Jingshao's patience was nearing its limit.

Fortunately, Lu Xing left quickly, otherwise Shen Jingshao would have kicked him out immediately.

Wen Yixing had just gotten off the plane, and he was thinking of taking her back to rest as soon as possible.

As a result, Lu Xing also arrived, and they chatted at the airport for almost half an hour.

It's really annoying.

Wen Yixing slept at home for a long time. After adjusting her sleep schedule, she went out to run errands.
