Chapter 121: Meeting a love rival?
The Chinese New Year came early this year, and as soon as New Year’s Day was over, major universities started their final exams.
Cen Nian's last exam was over, while other students from other departments were still taking theirs. When he walked out of the classroom, he received a message from He Yuci.
"Legend" has officially started filming, and all parties involved are working together to release it during the summer vacation.
He Yuci's message was also simple: [Last time, we talked about something that would be better today than today. Is today okay?]
Cen Nian finished her exams and had nothing to do in the afternoon, so she replied, "Sure, Mr. He."
[He Yuci]: If possible, please call me Mr. He.
[Cen Nian]: Okay, Mr. He.
He Yuci sat in the office, looking at the little girl's reply, and suddenly felt like laughing.
If it were someone else, they would have some intention of trying to build a relationship or get closer, but Cen Nian was always so official and polite. He Yuci could almost imagine how serious she was when she replied to the message.
After Cen Nian had lunch, Jin Siyang sent her a message saying that he still had social engagements tonight. Recently, Jin Siyang was busy with not only his schoolwork but also the affairs of the subsidiary company. These two tasks almost squeezed out his time.
Cen Nian knew how it felt to be busy, so she didn't bother him anymore, but just reminded Jin Siyang to drink less.
She arrived at the gate. He Yuci calculated the time very accurately and arrived at the gate of Peking University a few minutes early.
Cen Nian stepped forward and said, "Hello, Mr. He."
He Yuci was already accustomed to her addressing him. Hearing her addressing him so seriously and obediently gave him a strange yet comfortable feeling.
Cen Nian treated the sponsors, especially the largest investor of the crew, with great hospitality. He Yuci was very quiet at the beginning, and she was the only one who gave a detailed introduction to Peking University.
"Mr. He, I looked at your information and heard that you graduated from Oxford University." He Yuci has Baidu Encyclopedia, so this information is not a secret.
"Well, that's why I have always been interested in Peking University. Maybe it's because I have never experienced the study environment in China." He Yuci's voice was not soft, but it had a steady and restrained feeling.
"Cen Nian, I also heard that you are the provincial top scorer. Jiang City has excellent educational resources and extremely fierce competition. It must be difficult to make it through, right?"
Thinking back to the Gaokao, Cen Nian always feels like it was yesterday. The relentless studying during her senior year seems ingrained in her bones. She can still recall the heartache she felt at the time. She is very modest and doesn't like to boast: "I'm not the brightest type. I probably believe in the saying 'the early bird catches the worm,' and 'hard work makes up for lack of talent.'"
It was just a pity for the math, physics and chemistry teachers, especially Liu Chao, who bothered her a lot during her senior year.
A hint of smile appeared in He Yuci's cold eyes. He admired such a girl from the bottom of his heart. She was innocent, courageous, and most importantly, tenacious, just like him when he was young.
Cen Nian started praising the sponsor: "However, these achievements are not enough in front of Mr. He. We have all witnessed your achievements, which are extraordinary."
"Oh." He Yuci laughed. "I'm afraid I'll disappoint you. My youth wasn't smooth sailing. To be honest, I started from scratch, and my university tuition was funded by a noble person."
A stone disturbed the calmness in Cen Nian's heart. It turned out that He Yuci was also sponsored by someone.
He had many business contacts and was very good at reading people's expressions. As soon as he saw Cen Nian's expression, he knew she was interested, so he began to tell her his entrepreneurial story.
When talking about drinking and socializing, and those difficult people, Cen Nian thought of Jin Siyang. Is he like this now?
She asked selfishly, "Mr. He, what was it like when you first started your business?"
He Yuci glanced at her, then looked straight ahead. People at the top of the pyramid never easily opened up about their unbearable past, but in front of Cen Nian, he felt very relaxed. "The humiliation of being laughed at, and the determination not to admit defeat."
"Mr. He, I really admire you, really."
He Yuci suddenly laughed. He didn't know how long it had been since he felt so relaxed and happy.
When you have accomplished nothing, the only thing in your mind is success. Even if it is painful, you have hope. When you truly reach the top and realize your dreams, your happiness threshold will also increase.
But today, in front of Cen Nian, he was very happy.
I'm rarely so happy.
They walked around and Cen Nian pointed at the teaching building: "This is our teaching building. In fact, I took an exam here this morning."
"Am I disturbing you?"
"No, Mr. He, this is the last subject I took this morning."
He Yuci joked with her: "How about it, are you confident about the final exam?"
Cen Nian smiled modestly: "It should be okay."
"Well, I just passed by the bulletin board and saw the news that you won the award."
Cen Nian was shy but also a little proud.
In the depths of winter, it gets dark very quickly. By six o'clock, it is already completely dark.
Cen Nian and He Yuci were walking on the path leading to the school gate, chatting and laughing. Cen Nian kept a polite distance. When he looked up again, he saw a familiar figure walking towards him.
The lights on both sides of the path were dim, and the sky was pitch black. Although Cen Nian could not see clearly, he still recognized it.
Jin Siyang, isn't he entertaining guests? Why is he here?
Unable to suppress the surprise, He Yuci sensed something was wrong: "Do you know him?"
Cen Nian nodded: "He is my boyfriend."
She turned her head quickly and didn't see the strange look in He Yuci's eyes.
But from Jin Siyang's perspective, he didn't hear the conversation between the two. He only saw He Yuci lower his eyes and say something, and then Cen Nian replied with a smile.
A strong sense of restlessness suddenly ignited.
He had a tense jawline and a slightly cold expression. He walked in front of the two of them, still maintaining his rationality.
He Yuci smiled and extended his hand: "Hello, He Yuci."
Jin Siyang looked him in the eye, his eyes deep. He shook hands back: "Hello, Jin Siyang."
He Yuci raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "Since you two know each other, I won't bother you anymore. Cen Nian, thank you for showing me around Peking University. It was indeed a great experience. Let's stop here for today. Goodbye."
Cen Nian nodded slowly: "Mr. He, how about we walk you to the door together."
He Yuci said in a gentle tone: "It's okay, the driver is right in front, no need to bother."
"Oh...Okay, goodbye Mr. He."
Jin Siyang stood beside him indifferently, almost blending in with Dong Ye. After Cen Nian said goodbye politely, she took Jin Siyang's hand and asked, "Why are you here?"
She leaned forward and sniffed: "Didn't you drink today?"
"No."
The wind was cold and biting, just like Jin Siyang's tone.
Cen Nian asked in confusion, "What's wrong? What happened to you today?"
Jin Siyang clenched his teeth. Cen Nian knew that he liked this the most when he was unhappy.
As if to bite the teeth to pieces.
Jin Siyang thought of He Yuci's gentle tone and those words. An inexplicable emotion came over him, and his Adam's apple rolled: "Are you hungry?"
Cen Nian nodded.
"Then let's go home." He held Cen Nian's hand with a little more force, especially when a black Maybach passed by the school gate, as if to prove something.
