Chapter 27 That Year, That Day
Xie Yanning had a class at 10:30, so she went back to her study to pack her lesson plans and then drove out.
During a short break between classes, he opened Su Wanwan's WeChat Moments, which was actually a bit more interesting than his own.
The profile picture shows her holding her fat cat. It's unclear whether it's Su Wanwan's wicked sense of humor, but she's grabbing the two paws in front of the cat and posing them like a traditional Chinese greeting for good fortune.
Xie Yanning felt that she could see the words "life is meaningless" on the fat cat's face.
She doesn't post frequently, but her posts are a mixed bag, very whimsical. There are complaints about her exhausting schoolwork, her crazy outings with friends, occasional family and friends gatherings, and most of all, her fat cat.
Xie Yanning was quite content with his life.
Finally, Xie Yanning's gaze also settled on that year, looking at the location marked on the map.
"Goodbye?" He wouldn't forget this day. "Whom am I saying goodbye to?"
Just then, a student came over to ask him a question and saw that Professor Xie, aside from being serious, actually looked somewhat gritted-teeth. The student wondered what had happened.
"Professor Xie?"
Xie Yanning put her phone away, her expression returning to normal. "What?"
The student's thoughts immediately returned to normal.
Professor Xie is still the same Professor Xie, ruthless and merciless.
Those who say they like teachers are simply devils.
Su Wanwan woke up around 12 o'clock.
The sun is shining even brighter outside.
Opening the door, I saw Yuanxiao, a cat, gazing blankly out the window on the balcony, gently swaying its tail, occasionally catching glimpses of the sunlight filtering through the window, looking quite content.
Su Wanwan felt guilty.
We still haven't spent enough time together.
She walked over to the lounge chair on the balcony and called out, "Yuanxiao."
After thinking for a moment, I made a video call to my mother.
Ms. Zhong had just finished her meal and was tending to her flowers and plants in the yard.
I answered my daughter's video call immediately.
The call connected, and all I saw was a big cat face and Yuanxiao's big, curious eyes.
"Oh my, you scared me! Su Wanwan, do you think your mother puts in too much effort?"
Su Wanwan pointed the video at herself and said, "I'm sorry, my dear mother."
Seeing the bunch of flowers and plants behind them, you know you're in a greenhouse.
"Tsk tsk, sometimes I really wonder if I'm more comfortable kissing this flower or myself."
"Then you should be closer to them, since they're easier to raise."
"..." Fine, there's no need to compete for attention with a bunch of flowers.
Zhong Qian loves orchids, and her greenhouse is filled with precious orchids, including some she won at an orchid auction.
It's not expensive, only 2.5 million.
Su Wanwan was a bit of a hypocrite; she really wanted to call her a fool, but then she thought that since she was her own mother, she might as well let her be happy.
Later, when she found out that someone was willing to pay 3.5 million to buy it, she silently muttered, "Turns out I'm the real idiot."
"Today is your day off? Didn't you go out for a stroll?" Zhong Qian was quite satisfied with Su Wanwan in every way, except that she was a bit of a homebody and didn't like going out much.
She was afraid that this person in the north of the city might develop depression.
I've recently seen news reports of doctors committing suicide due to unbearable pressure, which makes me even more worried.
We initially wanted her to stay in Gangcheng, but she said that the hospitals in Beicheng were better for training people, where they could encounter all sorts of difficult and complicated cases.
"I'm going out this afternoon, so I'll bring some Yuanxiao (sweet rice balls) with me."
Zhong Qian nodded in satisfaction after hearing this.
Knowing that her father was probably still busy at the company at this time, Su Wanwan didn't want to disturb him. After video chatting with Zhong Qian, she tidied up the house casually.
She lives alone and spends much more time at the hospital than at home. When she does come back, she mostly sleeps, so her house isn't very messy. She only needs to hire a housekeeper to clean it once a week.
After tidying up, I took out the things I bought in the morning from the refrigerator.
She's not a great cook, but she can still cook things properly and make sure they don't taste bad.
After feeding the cat and the person, Su Wanwan picked up the cat carrier, filled it with glutinous rice balls, and went out.
She had already done her research; the only places nearby suitable for a leisurely stroll were those two famous universities.
Su Wanwan glanced at Yuanxiao a few times, "Let's go there instead. Don't you like handsome guys? There are more of them there."
Yuanxiao opened her round eyes, confused, before Su Wanwan pulled her into the cat carrier.
It meowed twice in a show of resistance, but when it saw that it was going out, it immediately became as quiet as a chicken.
Su Wanwan took a taxi to Huazhong University of Science and Technology.
She had made an appointment in advance, and when she arrived, she showed the security guard her appointment information and was allowed to enter directly.
Although it is a school, as the highest institution of learning, it receives a constant stream of visitors every day.
The place was very large. Su Wanwan found a lawn, let the cat out, and let the cat lead her around.
The greenery here is beautiful, and seeing how cute Yuanxiao looks, Su Wanwan couldn't help but use her "motherly filter" again, and quickly created another nine-grid photo.
I took my daughter out shopping!
The accompanying photos show Yuanxiao posing cutely in the grass, and occasionally she's seen playing with other stray cats.
This is her private account; she hasn't added any of her hospital colleagues, only friends, so it doesn't matter how crazy she goes.
It received quite a few likes shortly after it was posted.
Yang Lewei, who is currently on her honeymoon abroad, sent her well wishes during a break: "My godson seems to have lost weight."
Others had all sorts of opinions.
When will we come back for a get-together?
Remember to treat me when you visit in a couple of days.
I've noticed you've lost a lot of weight since Yuanxiao. Is the environment there not good for you? I'm worried about you.
Su Wanwan glanced at Yuanxiao's chubby figure and said, "Even with my mother's bias, I can't say you're thin."
Yuanxiao meowed twice, looking completely innocent.

Xie Yanning, who was reviewing papers in his office, was so frustrated by his students' papers that he got a headache.
After saying a few words in the group, Xie Yanning saw a red dot under "Discover" when she logged out. Normally, she wouldn't be very interested, but this time she clicked on it for some inexplicable reason.
The page refreshed, and the first thing that popped up was Su Wanwan's fat cat.
He clicked to view the larger image.
Then, by observing the buildings that appeared in the frame, they were able to identify where the people were.
[Xie Yanning: You've come to school?]
Su Wanwan was responding to various greetings on her WeChat Moments when Xie Yanning's words suddenly popped up, startling her.
You can recognize these?
She wondered, weren't all the photos she took of grass? From which nook and cranny did Xie Yanning recognize the place?
[Su Wanwan: ? ?]
[Su Wanwan: How did you know?]
Looking back, the money still wasn't collected.
Su Wanwan wanted to give a reminder, and Xie Yanning replied with a message. He saved one of the photos and sent it to her, marking a small corner of it.
[Xie Yanning: This is the teaching building of the School of Computer Science]
Unfortunately, Xie Yanning's office was on the third floor of the college.
He looked out the window and, sure enough, saw Su Wanwan below, holding a cat on one hand and typing on her phone with the other.
