The old man said, "Of course! Let me tell you, quite a few impressive people have come from our school. I heard that a big star will be coming to the anniversary celebration this year, but it's all a secret. The school doesn't allow us to say anything!"

Even if the old man didn't say it, Wen Yixing could guess how many there were.

There weren't many art students at their school to begin with, and even fewer went on to enter the entertainment industry. Wen Yixing knew a few, but of course, the one she was most familiar with was the semi-retired film emperor, Fang Shiyan.

While I was chatting with the old man, a black Maybach drove up and gradually stopped in front of the school.

A bodyguard in a black suit got out and opened the car door, and several important school leaders also warmly greeted him.

The old man clicked his tongue and sighed, "Quite a show."

Wen Yixing smiled: "Of course."

Before her smile could fade, Wen Yixing saw someone get out of the car. He was dressed in a neat black suit, with a tall and imposing figure and a powerful aura.

After getting out of the car, Shen Jingshao exchanged pleasantries with the school leaders as usual.

The school leaders warmly invited him to enter the school.

As he walked forward, Shen Jingshao noticed a familiar figure out of the corner of his eye.

He looked up and gazed diagonally ahead.

Unexpectedly, his eyes met hers with a smile.

For a moment, both of them were stunned.

Today she wore a beige long dress, looking gentle, intellectual, and very beautiful.

She stood under the sycamore tree, the dappled sunlight falling on her shoulders, as if adding a unique glow to her.

Wen Yixing didn't expect Shen Jingshao to look over, even though she was in an inconspicuous position.

It has been a long time since I last met Shen Jingshao.

Since that rainy day they met, even though they had added each other as friends, they had never contacted each other again.

Thinking about our relationship, we should be considered friends who are a little better than strangers.

Wen Yixing gave him a slight, distant, and polite nod.

Consider it a greeting.

Shen Jingshao also looked away and followed the school leaders forward.

No one noticed this little incident.

Apart from the security guard standing next to Wen Yixing.

Wen Yixing overheard the security guard muttering, "This is so strange. That kid seemed to glance this way just now. Could he have been looking at me? I don't know him."

——

There was still some time before the celebration started, and Wen Yixing was led by her teacher to sign in after entering the school.

Wen Yichen and Fang Jingyao didn't need to follow along, so Wen Yichen took Fang Jingyao to play on the school playground.

When Wen Yixing was signing in, she encountered a short-haired woman wearing a white blazer.

The woman was wearing sunglasses. Upon seeing Wen Yixing, she removed them and exclaimed, "Wen Yixing?!"

Wen Yixing looked over and saw that the person in front of her looked somewhat familiar, but she couldn't quite remember her name, so she tentatively asked, "Are you Fuling?"

Li Fuling smiled and nodded: "Yes, yes, you still remember me? We participated in the same competition before. You came in second and I came in third. You remember, right?"

Wen Yixing smiled: "I remember, it was in the second year of high school, right?"

Li Fuling: "Yes, yes, yes!"

Wen Yixing remembers that she and Li Fuling had a good relationship when they participated in the competition and had a good impression of each other. It was just a pity that they were not in the same class and had few opportunities to meet. They did not exchange contact information later.

As always, Li Fuling was enthusiastic and talkative, and she chatted with Wen Yixing.

Wen Yixing then learned that Li Fuling had just gotten married two years ago and had a lovely one-and-a-half-year-old daughter.

As fellow mothers, the conversation naturally turned to more topics.

As they were chatting, a woman wearing a hat and mask walked past them, accompanied by two bodyguards.

Li Fuling stood on tiptoe to look ahead, and then gestured for Wen Yixing to look.

Wen Yixing then saw a familiar figure from behind.

Fang Shiyan also arrived. He wasn't wearing a hat or mask, just a white shirt, and his skin was so white it seemed to glow in the sunlight.

As a famous celebrity in the entertainment industry, the teachers around him were particularly excited and took out their phones to take photos with him.

Looking at that face she had liked for so many years from afar again, Wen Yixing found that she would no longer feel the same way about him as before.

She was calm, with no emotional turmoil.

Li Fuling took Wen Yixing's hand and whispered some gossip to her: "Do you remember Mingying? She's the one who dances really well. She's acted in a few dramas now."

Wen Yixing: "I remember."

"She liked Fang Shiyan when she was in high school, but Fang Shiyan was with Jiang Ruyue at the time. My friend told me that Mingying entered the entertainment industry for Fang Shiyan. It's a pity that our movie star Fang still hasn't let go of his first love after all these years."

"I wonder if Jiang Ruyue will come today," Li Fuling said expectantly. "If Jiang Ruyue comes too, that will be really exciting!"
