Jiang Tian turned around, her face also showing some surprise.
After a long pause, she said uncertainly, "Cheng Yuanxu?"
Cheng Yuanxu looked refined and scholarly, wearing thin-rimmed glasses.
Once he confirmed that the person in front of him was Jiang Tian, his expression became even more delighted.
"Is it really you? I didn't expect you to come back. We actually met here."
Cheng Yuanxu's happiness was genuine, but it looked strange. What was he so happy about?
Wei Su watched this scene with a half-smile, but a closer look revealed that there was no hint of a smile in his eyes.
"I just had some free time today and came back to visit the university. I never expected to see you here. Do you work here? I remember you had really good grades back then. You had the highest GPA in the class."
Cheng Yuanxu was a little embarrassed. He nodded and said, "Yes, I work here. After graduating from university, I chose to pursue a master's degree. After finishing my master's degree, I saw a job posting from my alma mater, so I came back."
Jiang Tian looked at him with admiration: "I knew you would have a bright future. You were excellent back then, and now it seems that's true."
Cheng Yuanxu smiled, then continued looking at Jiang Tian: "And you? I heard you got married?"
Jiang Tian nodded silently, and after a long while she said, "Yes, I'm not only married, but I also have a daughter."
Cheng Yuanxu's expression turned indescribably pale: "Then..."
His gaze fell on Wei Su, who hadn't said a word.
“He’s not my husband…he’s a distant cousin of mine.”
Wei Su turned to look at Jiang Tian, whose expression remained unchanged.
Jiang Tian didn't look at him; she was still talking to Cheng Yuanxu.
"I see. Your husband must have a good job, right?"
Jiang Tian forced a smile: "Yes, it's fine."
When Cheng Yuanxu saw Jiang Tian, who was much prettier than before, a hint of melancholy flashed in his eyes.
He clearly understood that without enough money, he couldn't support a beautiful woman.
"And what about you? Where are you working now?"
Cheng Yuanxu then asked.
“I’m a full-time housewife at home, and there’s no career advancement for me.”
Jiang Tian spoke in a very low voice.
Cheng Yuanxu opened his mouth, looking somewhat confused: "I remember you originally planned to be a translator, you..."
"Sir, it's her freedom to choose what kind of life she wants. You don't need to look on with pity."
Wei Su suddenly spoke up.
Cheng Yuanxu looked at Wei Su: "Jiang Tian and I were classmates in college. Back then, she was the most active person in the class in taking part-time jobs. Everyone in the class knew that she really wanted to start working immediately after graduation. I thought she would find a job she liked and live her own life, just like she did back then."
"Jiang Tian, are you having some kind of trouble? You're not the kind of person who would give up on your job."
Cheng Yuanxu has no bad intentions, but his emotional intelligence is too low.
His words brought a bitter smile to Jiang Tian's face: "No, those are all things of the past. Because of the child, I've been staying at home. I'm sorry, I may have let you down."
Cheng Yuanxu saw the sadness in her eyes and quickly shook his head. He said to Jiang Tian very seriously, "So you still want to work, right? I don't believe that girl from university would voluntarily give up a job opportunity. You made such a deep impression on people back then. I've never seen anyone work so hard. I believe you have your reasons. If you agree, I can introduce you to a part-time job that matches your major. With your learning ability and knowledge at the time, you were perfectly capable of doing it."
Wei Su never expected that taking Jiang Tian back to the old place would lead to encountering a mentally ill person.
This person immediately offered Jiang Tian a part-time job; no one would believe he had no ulterior motives.
Wei Su is quite perceptive when it comes to judging other people's feelings.
He had already noticed that Cheng Yuanxu was acting strangely towards Jiang Tian.
A shy, unrequited love during college?
Is he now planning to let love blossom and bear fruit?
A hint of disdain flashed in Wei Su's eyes.
But he didn't stop Jiang Tian from answering.
He hoped she would get better. If a part-time job with ulterior motives could boost her energy, that would be a good outcome.
"Thank you, Cheng Yuanxu. I know you're genuinely thinking of me, and I understand how difficult it was for you to find me a part-time job. But I have other things to do right now and don't have time to do a part-time job. Thank you for your kindness, and I'm sorry."
Jiang Tian's answer was very sincere.
Cheng Yuanxu quickly waved his hand: "It's okay, it's okay. I was just asking. If it's inconvenient for you, then don't do it. Just do what you need."
Jiang Tian nodded silently.
The air suddenly became still.
If no one starts a new topic, it means the conversation is nearing its end.
But Cheng Yuanxu suddenly extended another invitation to Jiang Tian: "We graduated from university five or six years ago. The other day, our class group was planning a reunion, and everyone who could come was welcome. Your roommate said she couldn't get in touch with you, but I ran into you today. So, would you like to come to this reunion? Don't worry, everyone here is well-mannered and we're university classmates, so we definitely won't bother you."
Wei Su squinted at Cheng Yuanxu.
He found that this person was actually quite talkative.
One minute they're trying to introduce him to a part-time job, the next they're inviting him to a class reunion. He's jumping around like this. Does he think he's a clown?
"I'm sorry, I have other things to do and can't go to the class reunion."
Jiang Tian refused again.
Cheng Yuanxu still showed no sign of displeasure.
He immediately took out his phone: "Let's add each other's contact information first. The class reunion is still a while away, so you still have a chance to back out. I'll add you to the group first. Your classmates miss you very much. They didn't expect you to have been out of touch for so many years. Luckily, we're destined to meet."
Having rejected Cheng Yuanxu twice, Jiang Tian finally felt too embarrassed to refuse again this time. She took out her phone and successfully added Cheng Yuanxu's contact information.
"There's no need to add me to the group, I..."
Before Jiang Tian could finish speaking, she found herself invited to the classmates' group chat.
“We’re all classmates, we can’t just not communicate at all. I still hope to see how we’ve changed. You don’t seem to have changed much in the last few years.”
Aside from looking a bit better.
As Cheng Yuanxu spoke, he typed in the group chat.
The person I just invited in is Jiang Tian. Weren't you looking for her a couple of days ago? I just ran into her today.
[Jiang Tian? Didn't she get married right after graduation? I heard no one in her class was qualified to attend her wedding. Who's looking for her?]
………………
The group chat suddenly became lively.
