He didn’t remember who this woman was, but Lu Nanchen certainly remembered Su Liqing, and his impression of her was profound.
She had been his Mathematics teacher in high school, his mentor who managed to find many avenues and past exam papers. Eventually, she guided Nanchen to participate in one competition after another, winning one award after another. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢
However, a few years ago, she had passed away from stomach cancer at a bit over sixty.
Hearing the name, Nanchen halted in his steps, his gaze shifted from straight ahead to Shen Ruchu.
"I am Shen Ruchu from the class next door, Su Liqing’s granddaughter." Shen Ruchu said with a hint of excitement in her voice.
After seven years, she’d finally seen him.
"Please have a chat with me out of respect for my grandfather. After that, you can go." Shen Ruchu took the initiative to say.
There was no hesitation in her inviting Nanchen to stay.
After all, Nanchen was a person who was indifferent to everyone. He always seemed unresponsive.
Nanchen looked at her, not saying a word. The claim that she was Teacher Su’s granddaughter seemed vaguely familiar.
"Ten minutes. I will leave in ten minutes." After a three-minute silence, Nanchen reluctantly spoke. Out of respect for Teacher Su, he did not wholly refuse. He continued walking forward into his office.
Shen Ruchu, whose face was usually expressionless, had an excited look now. She quickly followed him into the office and closed the door behind her.
The office, about fifty or sixty square meters, provided a comfortable environment for their conversation.
The two sat down by a tea table and chairs.
No tea was served, as Nanchen figured she wasn’t thirsty.
"I came to see you as soon as I got back to the country a few days ago. I didn’t expect you to become a teacher." Shen Ruchu said, sitting on the couch. She was a bit excited. The last time she had a conversation with him was ten years ago at her grandfather’s house.
Nanchen, sitting opposite, casually rested his elbow on his thigh, fingered his wedding ring: "Hmm."
Shen Ruchu saw the wedding ring on Nanchen’s hand clearly because of his movement. Her heart dropped for a moment, then she quickly came to her senses.
How could he possibly be married?
"You were always my grandpa’s favorite student. He talked about you all the time, always hoping you would enter the academy of sciences and keep improving in mathematics, making academic achievements," she said.
"But why would you stoop to teaching here?"
"Any graduate student from a 985 college could be a teacher, but you’re different; you’re much more exceptional." Shen Ruchu explained her argument with a tone of sincerity, "I have some success in my career now. I can help you contact them. You just need to say the word, and I can set it up by this afternoon."
"Then you can report to the academy of sciences as early as tomorrow to continue what you are good at."
As she said this, Shen Ruchu’s eyes filled with obsession.
He is still so excellent.
In high school, he was cool, reserved, handsome, and academically outstanding. A teacher’s favorite, a magnet for girls.
Now, he is still the same. More mature, with sharper facial features, a tall and robust figure, offering an excellent sense of security.
He’s still impressive, apparently more so.
"No need, I’m not interested in working at the academy of sciences," Nanchen frowned and declined decisively. He liked participating in competitions, enjoyed the pleasure of solving math problems, not dry theoretical research.
"I’m now teaching classes at the school to my wife."
