Chapter 88 Senior Zhou Yufan

As soon as one o'clock came, Fang Li and Yu Tian arrived at the airport.

Her flight wasn't due to land for another fifteen minutes, but luckily she made it.

Yu Tian went to park the car. Fang Li was standing alone at the airport waiting for someone. She glanced over unintentionally and heard a familiar voice on the other side.

She squinted her eyes and looked carefully, only to be sure that she was not mistaken. The person was Jiang Bei, whom she had not seen for a long time.

Jiang Bei had not shown up since the last friction with Lu Jie on the road. Fang Li was standing at the airport entrance, turning her head to look at him from time to time.

Jiang Bei stood there from beginning to end, without moving, only occasionally raising his hand to check the time.

"What are you looking at?" At this time, Yu Tian came over after parking the car.

He followed her gaze and found nothing unusual except a broad-shouldered, tall man in the crowd.

Fang Li: "Nothing, just checking how long it would take for the plane to land. It would be terrible if I missed it accidentally. My senior quit his high-paying job abroad just for me. I can't just stand him up right away."

"You are a great senior?"

"Of course. Did you know about Lionsgate? He received an offer from Lionsgate right after graduating from his exchange program. Although he was just an editorial assistant when he first joined, he became deputy editor in chief in just a few years. The studio now has everything in place, except for a backbone who can command the support of the team. I paid a huge price to get him back."

They lost their rights and humiliated the country, signed all kinds of unequal treaties, and almost sold themselves out.

Yu Tian smiled and said nothing.

At this moment, Jiang Bei, who was standing there, suddenly raised his hand, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then he turned and walked towards this side.

Fang Li glanced towards the airport entrance and saw a pretty girl with fair skin, wearing a knee-length dress and Martin boots, running towards Jiangbei with a bright smile on her face.

The number of people at the airport reception area increased, and Fang Li was standing in the crowd, some distance away from them. She saw the girl approaching Jiang Bei, and the smile on her face suddenly disappeared. She pouted and said something. Jiang Bei smiled and said a few words in reply, and the two of them left the airport together.

For some unknown reason, she actually followed the two of them.

She heard the girl say, "The food in Haicheng is terrible. I've been eating a lot of instant noodles these past two days. Send it back to my school! I want to eat at the hotpot restaurant at the back door of Jingda University!"

The girl was of average height, probably just over 1.6 meters. Looking at her slightly smiling profile, Fang Li suddenly remembered those photos.

The one taken away by Han Xi...seems to be her.

Seeing how familiar she was with Jiang Bei, Fang Li was almost certain at this moment that this girl was the person in the photo.

Since Jiang Bei treats her like this, she and Han Xi must have a more than ordinary relationship.

Just when Fang Li was a little dazed, someone tapped her shoulder. It was Yu Tian who came over to remind her: "The flight you were supposed to take has landed. Keep an eye on the people."

Fang Li quickly came back to her senses, her eyes fixed on the airport entrance.

Not long after, a man in a gray casual suit and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses came out pushing an iron-gray suitcase.

After not seeing him for a few years, the man no longer looks like he did in his student days. He looks mature and steady in appearance and dress. His outstanding temperament makes him stand out among the crowd.

"Senior Zhou!"

Zhou Yufan glanced around and saw Fang Li.

He squinted his eyes to confirm, then raised his arm and waved at her, saying with a smile: "Junior sister, long time no see."

As the two of them approached, he reached out and gave Fang Li a hug, then let go and looked her over carefully.

"After so many years, I haven't seen you. You are still as beautiful as ever, like a fairy. God is so unfair that he hasn't left any trace on your face after so long."

"Senior, you're making fun of me. You're the one who's still stunningly handsome. I didn't even know where you came out from just now. I almost thought you were a celebrity."

Zhou Yufan laughed: "Who is making fun of whom? I am considered a star. Time is not forgiving. Look at the corners of my eyes. The fine lines are almost gone. How can I compare with other stars?"

"Fine lines? Where are they?" Fang Li leaned in seriously, and seeing the smooth corners of his eyes, she said in surprise, "Senior, you're exaggerating! How did you maintain your skin all these years abroad? Your skin is even better than mine!"

Zhou Yufan's smile widened. "Alright, we're all family, so stop praising each other. If you keep talking, I'll be embarrassed."

The two hadn't seen each other for nearly five years, but when they met again, they still didn't feel strange at all and there was always endless topics to talk about.

Fang Li and Zhou Yufan walked and talked towards the exit, while Yu Tian went to drive ahead of them.

"I haven't been back home for so long, how do you feel about being back now?"

Zhou Yufan glanced around and smiled, "In the past two years, what I've heard most abroad is praise for our rapid development in China. Even if you don't call me this time, I've actually already planned to come back."

"I'm afraid you'll laugh at me if I tell you this. I couldn't sleep the whole night. I have this inexplicable feeling of...homesickness."

The two were chatting and laughing when Yu Tian drove over.

Fang Li didn't go to the company in the afternoon, but directly invited Zhou Yufan to dinner.

She had originally planned to go to Tan Palace, and the car was halfway there when a place suddenly popped up in her heart.

Turning to Zhou Yufan, he asked, "Can you handle spicy food?"

Zhou Yufan was surprised: "Don't you know? I was a famous spicy food king in the directing department in college. I haven't been able to eat authentic chili peppers in these years abroad. I'm almost dying for this."

"That's perfect! I heard there's a delicious hot pot restaurant near Beijing University. Shall we go try it?"

"Okay."

After being in Beijing for so long, this is also Fang Li's first time to visit Peking University.

Relying on navigation, the few of them finally found the hotpot restaurant. It was not even mealtime at this time, but from the outside it was already crowded with many young men and women queuing up, which showed how popular the business was.

It had been a long time since Zhou Yufan had experienced such a lively Chinese food culture. After wandering around for so many years, even the queues seemed new to him when he came back.

The three of them sat at the door, the waiter brought them snacks, and they chatted while waiting for their table.

"I heard that you followed Song Yuchen into the entertainment industry, so why did you think of opening an editing studio?" Zhou Yufan asked after taking a sip of water.

Fang Li's smile faded: "Nothing, I just felt that the entertainment industry is not suitable for me. I still prefer the career of screenwriter, so I retired."

"Oh, so what about you and Song Yuchen? Are you still together?" he asked directly.

Fang Li didn't hesitate and said bluntly: "We have broken up."

Zhou Yufan was not surprised when he heard this. He smiled and said, "I expected this a long time ago. You may not know that our drama club even made a private bet about you two back then."
