"The ends of my jet-black hair, coiled into a circle, are wrapped around all my longing for you..."
"Through the semi-transparent curtain, the language spoken was completely honest..."
In the vibrant campus, the song "Big City, Small Love" played through the loudspeakers. The students finally finished listening to the speech and gradually left to the sound of the music.
The bustling crowd headed towards their respective classrooms.
Beside the bench.
Jiang Cheng felt the warmth in his arms; Luo Xiaoli had a faint, pleasant fragrance.
It's a familiar taste.
It immediately reminded him of the scene in Huanjiang Residential Area where the two of them slept in the same bed, with her snuggling close to him, just like now.
She was now resting on his shoulder, and this scene he had longed for for so long was now actually happening, and Jiang Cheng's heart suddenly softened.
Luo Xiaoli's long-held, passionate, and honest love only hoped for a response to everything, without needing to be heavy, subtle, or unspeakable.
Her long hair wasn't tied up; it was smooth and glossy like black satin. Her delicate profile drew attention. Luo Xiaoli closed her eyes, thoroughly enjoying the long-awaited reunion. The time apart hadn't been long, but true love feels like an eternity when apart.
Her fair arms wrapped around Jiang Cheng's neck tightened more and more. She felt a sense of fear and hesitation about losing him. She was unwilling to let go and only wanted to maintain this position, to count the hairs at his temples and lift her head slightly to kiss his cheek.
Jiang Cheng couldn't bring himself to say anything accusing anymore. He peacefully savored this beautiful moment, his Adam's apple bobbing, his gaze softening. He moved his lips slightly and whispered, "I missed you too..."
A gentle breeze stirred, causing the sycamore leaves above their heads to rustle. The wind ruffled Luo Xiaoli's long hair, which flew about in disarray before returning to its neat state.
The sky was clear, with fluffy white clouds drifting by, and the scene of them embracing each other was as beautiful as a painting.
The girl smiled radiantly.
······
"How is Uncle's illness? Is he feeling better?"
"Yes, after nearly half a year of treatment, he can now go home to recuperate. Fortunately, the treatment was timely and the diseased cells did not spread, otherwise the doctors would have been powerless to save him."
"After I finish what I'm doing, I'll go to Fengzhou with you."
"Go see my dad?" Luo Xiaoli asked, her finger to her lips, puzzled.
"Besides visiting my uncle, I want to tell you about our relationship."
"The two of us..." She paused, staring intently at Jiang Cheng, and after a moment seemed to understand something.
Unexpectedly, two blushes suddenly appeared on her cheeks.
Her shy and bashful appearance was so beautiful that Jiang Cheng stared at her for a few seconds, completely mesmerized.
She fiddled with her skirt and said shyly, "Okay."
"By the way, where is your luggage?"
"It's in the dormitory assigned by the school."
"Why stay in the dorms!" Jiang Cheng grabbed her and led her to get her luggage. "Let's go home."
Half an hour later.
A car appeared downstairs in Huanjiang residential area.
Gu Qingwan respectfully opened the car door, took the luggage under Luo Xiaoli's wary gaze, and went upstairs.
Jiang Cheng also carried a package, but his assistant had already gone upstairs.
"Brother, who is this woman?" she asked, pouting slightly.
She has always been wary of women around Jiang Cheng. Her possessiveness is very strong, and she won't even glance at things she doesn't like. She is as cold as ice, but she will do anything to get what she likes.
Jiang Cheng shrugged. "The assistant that Old Chen assigned to me is a very capable guy who can help me handle a lot of trivial matters. Because I will be taking over the Energy Technology Institute and the Biotechnology Institute in the future, the workload would be too heavy without anyone's help."
"All right."
Her eyes remained wary. Gu Qingwan looked like an outstanding woman, and she was also very beautiful. It would be strange not to worry about someone who spent so much time with such an assistant.
However, this woman was not as passionate as Zhao Xuerou.
They don't seem to be hostile. Never mind, we'll just have to be on guard.
After the luggage was put away.
Jiang Cheng rambled on about things related to Lanjing University of Science and Technology: the locations of the restaurants and library, which roads would flood on rainy days, and that it was best to avoid the convenience stores near the school gate that sold expired food.
Luo Xiaoli listened to these words with a happy expression, nodding vigorously.
It was a quiet and warm scene; the two seemed to have truly formed a family.
Jiang Cheng is planning to buy the apartment he is renting.
This room held so many memories for him. No matter where he flew in the world, Lanjing was his true home.
A few days ago, Professor Zhong asked him for his bank card number, saying that the first batch of patent fees for the human genome project had been received.
Jiang Cheng wasn't too concerned about money and didn't ask how much it was.
When the money arrived, he was stunned for quite a while.
The number has more than nine digits.
Exported gene reagents account for almost 99% of the market share, and are in short supply abroad, with prices exceeding supply.
With that kind of money, he could easily buy not only a house, but even the most upscale neighborhoods.
Researchers are never poor; it's just that money isn't what they pursue.
Luo Xiaoli will probably be attending university in Lanjing for four years, so having a place to settle down is very important.
Jiang Cheng planned to have Gu Qingwan talk to the landlord directly, and he could just sign the document himself.
However, the two of them are unaware of this yet.
On the public forum of Lanzhou University of Science and Technology, someone took a picture of Luo Xiaoli, who was enrolled as a freshman.
A post featuring photos attracted the attention of countless students.
After taking one look, they were all incredibly amazed, just like when Liang Gu and Tao Ming first saw her.
Absolutely stunning.
After being widely reposted and bumped, this post topped the list on the Lanzhou University of Science and Technology forum.
The most discussed topic below is that this beautiful girl seems to be jeopardizing Zhao Xuerou's position as the school beauty.
It will be snatched away by the new students!
The two girls are of very different types, and their appearances are almost incomparable. If Zhao Xuerou is the type of girl from a modest family, then Luo Xiaoli is an unreal, illusory beauty.
A beauty that exists only in imagination.
Everyone was trying to find out her identity, but the only replies they received were her name and that her hometown was Fengzhou.
This adds another layer of mystery to her.
However, the news that shattered the dreams of countless people had not yet arrived.
When everyone found out that Luo Xiaoli was already taken...
I wonder what they'll think.
