Tan Wei slowly placed the pen he was holding tightly in his hand on the table, then leaned back as if relieved and leaned against the back of the comfortable chair.
His originally tense face relaxed instantly, revealing a amiable and approachable expression.
At this moment, he slightly raised his right hand, pointed at the sofa with one hand, and said in a very polite and enthusiastic tone: "Please sit down! Please sit down! Don't be shy."
After Wang Xiaolan heard what he said, she thought to herself: Since the other party has said so, I don’t need to be too rigid about etiquette.
So, she confidently returned to the comfortable sofa where she had been sitting. She elegantly adjusted the hem of her skirt, her posture appearing particularly relaxed and natural.
Principal Tan was smiling as he looked at Wang Xiaolan, who was both familiar and unfamiliar to him. He felt particularly relaxed, a little dazed, and his mind wandering.
The principal in front of Wang Xiaolan looked at her without saying a word for a long time. Then she called out, "Principal, Principal."
Just when Tan Wei's thoughts drifted away, a clear and familiar voice came into his ears - "Principal Tan!" He was startled and came to his senses as if waking up from a dream, looking at Wang Xiaolan opposite him.
He calmed himself down and subconsciously raised his hand to pick up a document on the table to cover up his previous gaffe. Then he cleared his throat, put on a amiable smile, and said, "Student Wang, you are the top scorer in our school's college entrance examination! Such an excellent result is the pride and glory of all the teachers and students in our school! An outstanding student like you is really eye-catching!" At this point, he couldn't help but give a thumbs up, his eyes full of appreciation.
Wang Xiaolan smiled shyly and cutely when he praised her. She scratched her head and said, "Principal, you're too kind to me. I'm just an ordinary student. I'm embarrassed to hear you say that! My grades are not worth taking time out of your busy schedule to meet with me! It makes me feel embarrassed."
Hearing her say this, Tan Wei felt particularly happy and couldn't help but burst into laughter. He said, "Hey! You're being so polite. As the head of the school, of course I have to meet you in person. Having such a talented person choose our school is of far-reaching significance to us. Under your influence, more outstanding students will choose our school in the future. How can I not meet you?"
After saying that, he looked at Wang Xiaolan sincerely. His eyes contained the deep love of an elder for the younger generation, which made people feel an endless kindness and care.
Tan Wei, sitting across from him, looked at Wang Xiaolan. She had beautiful eyebrows, white teeth, and a sweet smile. Every gesture exuded a unique charm. Every casual smile and glance was exactly the same as his future fiancée!
At this moment, Tan Wei's heart was like an overturned five-flavor bottle, extremely complicated. Ever since the car accident that inexplicably brought him to this strange world, he found that he was completely different from those other lucky travelers.
Others either had magical spaces that could hide countless treasures, or possessed invincible golden fingers that could easily deal with all kinds of difficulties, but what about him? Apart from the few memories from the future deep in his mind, he had nothing.
Likewise, Wang Xiaolan quietly gazed at Tan Wei, who sat across from her. He lowered his head slightly, his features veiled in shadow. His deep, dark eyes, drawn like a magnet, were fixed on the exquisite teacup before him, as if it held some hidden secret.
His bony ring finger gently and rhythmically tapped the cup. This subtle movement seemed casual, but to Wang Xiaolan, it was so familiar—because this habit was exactly the same as that of her future fiancé!
She looked at Tan Wei in front of her and wondered: Could it be that he had traveled through time like me?
"It can't be such a coincidence!"
Wang Xiaolan bit her lips tightly, trying hard to control her chaotic emotions and not daring to think about it any further.
The sunlight shone through the window onto his face, outlining a clear and deep outline. The high nose bridge, the firm chin, and the slightly deep eyes made me feel a little sad.
For some reason, seeing Tan Wei's expression and appearance at that moment, Wang Xiaolan's mind suddenly flashed back to the man she was engaged to in the future. Although the memory was a little fuzzy, the familiar feeling surged into her heart like a tide, leaving her feeling dazed.
At the same time, Tan Wei was secretly observing the beautiful woman before him—Wang Xiaolan. Her eyes, bright as stars, gleamed with intelligence and agility; her fair skin was as delicate and smooth as mutton-fat jade; and her long braids, casually draped over her shoulders, added a touch of charm.
However, judging from her occasional frown and pensive expression, it seemed that she was aware of herself.
Just like that, the two of them appeared calm on the surface, but in reality, they each had their own thoughts, secretly trying to figure out what the other was thinking...
At this moment, the entire room was so quiet that it felt as if even a thin embroidery needle dropped would clearly reach everyone's ears. The scene suddenly became somewhat uncomfortable and awkward.
At this moment, Principal Tan, who had remained silent until then, finally broke the oppressive silence. Perhaps he realized that the situation was not good, or perhaps he was worried that it would cause unnecessary misunderstandings. After all, as the head of the school, he could not destroy the reputation of both parties.
He coughed lightly twice and cleared his throat. Then, in a tone that carried both the loving care of an elder and the authority and composure of a leader, he asked, "Student Wang, where is your hometown?"
Wang Xiaolan sighed softly and replied calmly, "My family is from Southern Province."
Tan Wei continued to ask: "Who are the people at home?"
Wang Xiaolan remembered Zeng Qiang's words and didn't mention the current family. Instead, she mentioned the family information of the original owner who was kept by a mistress. She said, "My mother died early, my father passed away a few years ago, and I have an older brother."
Tan Wei responded: "Oh! I heard you've been to the countryside?"
Wang Xiaolan said, "Yes, I went to the countryside. It was during that time that I met my husband, who was visiting relatives. He is still serving in the military and is already the mother of two children..."
When Tan Wei heard her talk about getting married and having children, he couldn't help but frowned slightly.
He said in disbelief, "It looks like you're about the same age as my second daughter, and you already have two children."
Wang Xiaolan, still calmly said: "What's the big deal? When in Rome, do as the Romans do."
At this moment, Tan Wei's eyes were fixed on Wang Xiaolan, a woman he was once very familiar with, but now felt a little strange to him.
He stared at her quietly, his thoughts gradually drifting back to the thrilling car accident.
