Chapter 162
The plane flew across the clear sky, leaving a faint white streak across the blue sky.
Amid the roar of the engine, the flight attendant's English announcement was mixed in: "Ladies and gentlemen, our plane is about to land..."
Chen Lanjun was dazed and opened her eyes a little: "Are we there yet?"
“Soon.”
The shoulder she was resting her head on moved slightly, "Will it feel uncomfortable?"
Shao Qinghe asked with concern.
This was Chen Lanjun's first long-distance flight, and Shao Qinghe was a little nervous along the way.
A month ago, CAM University, Shao Qinghe’s alma mater from Country B, sent an invitation to outstanding alumni to attend the school anniversary celebration.
Chen Lanjun happened to see this and, based on the principle that she had nothing to do, she wanted to visit this old and famous foreign university together, so she suggested that she go with Shao Qinghe.
Shao Qinghe had no choice but to agree, so he immediately put aside his other schedule and the two of them happily went there.
After sleeping all the way on the plane, Chen Lanjun was quite excited after landing.
Including the time before her rebirth, this was her first time in Country B.
For many young people in the 1990s, foreign countries were as round as the moon.
Although Chen Lanjun does not suffer from this disease, she is also very curious about foreign countries, so everything she sees is new to her.
"Let's go to your school first and then to the hotel, okay?"
Shao Qinghe smiled and said, "Do you really want to go to college? You really love studying."
"That's only one reason," Chen Lanjun said confidently, "The most important thing is that I want to see the place where you once studied and lived!"
"Okay, I can't refuse your reason." Shao Qinghe held her hand, "But don't set your expectations too high. This school... is just so-so."
As a top university in the world, CAM is certainly not as ordinary as Shao Qinghe said.
The school building is full of history, with green grass and a unique bridge over the rippling water, just like a park.
Chen Lanjun poked Shao Qinghe and asked, "What was it like when you went to school here?"
"I mainly took classes in that building at that time," Shao Qinghe pointed to a building in the distance, "Do you want to go take a look?"
"certainly!"
The business school is indeed a place made of money, it is beautiful and just like walking into a museum.
Chen Lanjun took a tour and was amazed. It turned out that the campus of this old and famous capitalist university was indeed extraordinary.
They inadvertently walked into a corridor with photos hanging on both sides. Chen Lanjun curiously went over to take a look. They were photos of outstanding students in the past, mostly group photos, commemorating winning certain competitions and the like.
Glancing at a photo, she smiled and looked back at Shao Qinghe: "Ah He, is this you? It must be you."
Shao Qinghe put his hands in his pockets and walked over slowly: "They still have this photo. It looks like it was some kind of dinner party?"
In the photo, Shao Qinghe is wearing a tuxedo suit like other classmates. His features are younger and sharper, and he looks rebellious.
Chen Lanjun looked at the photo, then looked at Shao Qinghe beside her, and said with emotion: "Wow, I haven't seen you look like this in a long time. I miss you a little bit."
This arrogant demeanor was clearly even colder than the Shao Qinghe he appeared to be when he first met him.
Shao Qinghe blinked her thick eyelashes: "Oh, so you thought I deserved a beating at that time."
Chen Lanjun laughed and put her arms around his neck: "Just pretend you didn't hear anything."
"It's too late. I'm sad."
The two were joking when they suddenly heard someone behind them saying:
"Louis, is that you?"
An old man with a white beard and wearing a suit was looking at this side in surprise.
Shao Qinghe's expression suddenly became serious, and he said softly to Chen Lanjun: "This is my former teacher, John. I'll go say hello."
He stepped forward and held out his hand: "Long time no see, John."
"It's been a long time indeed," John laughed. "When I saw you smiling so happily just now, I thought I had made a mistake. It seems that you have lived a good life these years. Who is this beautiful lady?"
"This is my beloved girlfriend, Miss Chen Lanjun."
"Wow," John looked at Chen Lanjun with some surprise and curiosity.
Chen Lanjun stepped forward and shook his hand with him: "Hello, nice to meet you."
John nodded. "We finally meet, how about we have dinner together? Louis, you owe me a meal, remember?"
Shao Qinghe raised his eyebrows: "It seems to be the case."
John invited them so enthusiastically that Shao Qinghe and Chen Lanjun had no choice but to go together.
He led them to a small restaurant next to the school.
Shao Qinghe looked up at the old but clean sign. "This restaurant is still there."
"Of course, there are many students who like to come here now. After all, it is very close to Lover's Hill."
Chen Lanjun interrupted: "What is Lover's Hill?"
"Oh, it's a very beautiful hillside with roses, and students and couples love to go there." John glanced at Shao Qinghe teasingly, "Unfortunately, it's not a place your handsome boyfriend likes. I remember a girl invited him to see the flowers, but he said lightly, 'What's so good about such a tacky flower like roses', and left."
"John, there are some things you don't have to remember so firmly," Shao Qinghe said.
John laughed: "Well, I'm just trying to show Miss Lan that you are a sentimental person."
Before the dishes were served, Chen Lanjun was worried that there would be some unpalatable dishes.
However, when the food was really served, in addition to fish, chips and beer, there was also a dish of fried pasta with eggs.
“This is also Louis’s masterpiece,” John said. “He often came to this restaurant and forced me to learn how to make this Chinese dish.”
Those were things in the past that Chen Lanjun had never participated in. She was quite curious and asked John, "Can you tell me about his student days?"
"sure."
John said a lot, including how famous Shao Qinghe was in school, how he didn't like to socialize with others and was a maverick, but had good grades, and how outstanding students always liked to look for him when organizing business competitions.
Chen Lanjun listened with great interest.
I went to the bathroom in the middle and came back to continue listening to the story.
After dinner, the sky had completely darkened. After saying goodbye to John, Chen Lanjun sighed: "So you were like this when you were a student."
Shao Qinghe didn't take it seriously: "I was a little immature at that time."
"Why, don't you miss it?"
He shook his head: "I prefer the present day."
"That's right," Chen Lanjun said, "After all, now I'm lucky enough to be matched with the real person, right?"
Shao Qinghe smiled: "Yes, yes, yes, okay?"
"So, is someone willing to accompany me to see the vulgar roses?" Chen Lanjun asked.
"My pleasure."
The grass was green, and they lay on their backs on the hillside, looking at the stars in the night sky.
In the slightly warm night breeze, Chen Lanjun joked: "You can pretend to confuse your memories, as if I was with you a long time ago."
"If that's true, that would be great." Shao Qinghe smiled faintly.
He looked at the starlight, slightly lost in thought.
In fact, for him, the time he spent here was nothing particularly memorable.
Because of his oriental face, local students inevitably felt a little alienated from him. As for the Chinese, most of them tried to please him because they knew his identity. He was too aloof at that time and felt that impure friendship was not necessary, so he simply distanced himself from the crowd.
There was a time when my condition was so bad that I had to seek help from the school psychologist.
John is the doctor, and also his teacher.
After several sessions, there was indeed some effect. During the last session, when he was about to graduate, John said to him seriously: "Believe me, there must be someone or something that makes you believe that this world is worth loving. I wish you can find those people and things as soon as possible, and remember to treat me to a meal when you do."
I actually paid back the meal I owed John today.
After graduation, he returned to Hong Kong and chose to do business in the mainland, which was implementing the reform and opening-up policy, in order to prove himself to his father.
Life is like smoke, he once thought that he would never have any intimate relationships in his life, but those lonely times were eventually broken by one person.
Waking up from his memories, Shao Qinghe turned his head.
Chen Lanjun looked at the starry sky, and he looked at her, with an unconscious smile on his face.
I even seemed to smell a faint scent of roses.
This moment is his best eternity.
