Chapter 2 Chapter 2 Senior, are you married?
In just a moment, Lu Mingzhou's gaze shifted away.
After a brief period of silence, Ye Anyu's surroundings became noisy again.
"If you want to know, why not just ask him in person?" Wu Yao continued the previous topic.
"That's easy for you to say. We can't even see the senior, so how can we ask him in person?"
"Here." Wu Yao pointed to the billboard in front of her. "Senior will be giving a speech soon. Let's ask him during the interaction."
"That makes sense. It starts at 2 pm, which means it will start in 20 minutes. Let's go quickly!" After saying that, a group of girls gathered and walked towards the auditorium where the speech was to be held.
"Anyu, why are you standing there?" Wu Yao looked at Ye Anyu who was in a daze.
"You guys go, I won't..." Before Ye Anyu could finish his words, Wu Yao pulled him towards the auditorium.
Before reaching the auditorium, Wu Yao saw a huge crowd in front of her. She couldn't help but sigh, "This is the charm of handsome guys!"
Wu Yao pulled Ye Anyu and pushed for a long time before finally squeezing into the auditorium. At a glance, the huge auditorium was already filled with people. The two searched for a long time before finding two seats in the corner at the back. Of course, these two seats were vacant because someone had gone out for something urgent.
Five minutes before the speech was to begin, Wu Yao whispered, "An Yu, raise your hand with me when we interact later."
"ah?"
"One more person means more strength. Look at all the people in this auditorium. We're still at the back. The probability of me being selected by raising my hand is like finding a needle in a haystack. But with you, it's different."
"What's different?"
“Even if it’s just two needles in a haystack!”
After hearing this explanation, Ye Anyu was a little amused.
The speech officially began. Lu Mingzhou caused a commotion as he arrived at the venue. Walking through the crowd of people, Ye Anyu saw Lu Mingzhou under the flash lights. He was still wearing the same suit as in the morning, but at this moment he looked even more dazzling, like the most dazzling star in the sky.
Ye Anyu heard many people around him praising Lu Mingzhou:
“So cool!”
"There are actually such men in the world!"
"If only I could marry him!"
…
The person everyone wanted to marry, but he married an ordinary person like her.
I'm afraid three years is the limit for him and me to be together, so we agreed on this time limit when we got married.
Ye Anyu's thoughts were interrupted by Lu Mingzhou on the stage: "Hello everyone, I am Lu Mingzhou. On the occasion of the centenary of Qingyuan University, I am very honored to be able to give a speech here as an outstanding student!" After saying this, Lu Mingzhou smiled and bent down to bow to the audience.
The audience immediately burst into applause and cheers.
"With the continuous development of science and technology, artificial intelligence has become an inseparable part of us..."
…
"I hope that in the future, technology will bring us greater convenience and make the world a better place! This concludes my speech. Thank you very much for listening!"
The host walked over to Lu Mingzhou with a smile and said, "Thank you very much for your speech, Senior Lu Mingzhou. I believe that everyone has benefited a lot from listening to your speech, just like me. In addition to these, everyone may have other questions for you, Senior Lu Mingzhou has very considerately agreed to our request. Now let's start the interactive session. If you have any questions, please raise your hand!"
As soon as the words fell, countless hands in the auditorium were raised. Wu Yao, who was sitting in the back, was completely obscured. She murmured quietly, "College students are really active!"
Ye Anyu did not deny it because it was an obvious fact.
"An Yu, why don't you raise your hand? Didn't we just agree on this?" Then Wu Yao grabbed her left hand and raised it high.
"This classmate." Lu Mingzhou on the stage casually pointed at a boy in the front row.
When the boy realized it was him, he jumped up excitedly. When he got the microphone, he said excitedly, "Senior, you have always been my idol. I was able to get into Qingyuan because of you!"
"It's a great honor to be your idol." Lu Mingzhou on the stage was smiling.
Seeing that the student was losing control, the host reminded him: "Student, what is your question?"
"Oh, sorry, I almost forgot in my excitement. Sorry." The boy apologized repeatedly before saying, "Excuse me, senior, what keeps you going?"
As soon as this question was asked, the auditorium fell silent for a moment, and everyone held their breath waiting for Lu Mingzhou's answer.
Lu Mingzhou paused, glancing towards a corner of the auditorium before answering, "Because I want to become stronger."
The moment Lu Mingzhou looked over at her just now, Ye Anyu thought he saw her, but seeing Lu Mingzhou's reaction, she realized she was overthinking it. Even though they lived in the same home, Lu Mingzhou wouldn't even pay her an extra glance, let alone in a crowded auditorium.
"Okay, next student..."
…
"Since time is limited, there is time for one last question. Which student would like to ask a question?"
As soon as the host finished speaking, countless hands were raised in the auditorium again. After knowing that Lu Mingzhou couldn't see him, Ye Anyu raised his right hand consciously without Wu Yao's reminder.
Lu Mingzhou looked around, a smile on his face, and said, "The students in the front row asked the questions just now, so the last question will go to the student in the back row, the one in the gray coat."
Gray coat? Before Ye Anyu could react, Wu Yao had already pulled her up: "I said that Anyu, your luck is extraordinary."
Ye Anyu stood up suddenly, looking confused. What on earth was going on? Wu Yao beside her whispered to her, "Problem, problem."
Only when the microphone was handed to Ye Anyu did she recover from her shock.
"Student, do you have any questions for the senior?" The host looked at Ye Anyu with a smile.
Wu Yao was reminding frantically from below.
Ye Anyu gripped the microphone tightly and raised his eyes to look at the stage, just in time to meet Lu Mingzhou's eyes. Ye Anyu tucked the fallen hair behind his ear, gritted his teeth, and finally spoke: "Senior, can I ask you a personal question?"
"Feel sorry……"
"Okay." The host's words were interrupted by Lu Mingzhou's two short and powerful words.
Ye Anyu's heartbeat accelerated rapidly. Under Wu Yao's crazy hint, Ye Anyu finally asked the question: "Excuse me, Senior Lu Mingzhou." Ye Anyu clenched the microphone in his hand: "Are you married?"
Upon hearing this question, the auditorium fell silent again.
Lu Mingzhou stared at Ye Anyu and did not answer directly. Instead, he took the microphone from his left hand with his right hand and slowly raised his left hand.
On the ring finger of his left hand, a silver ring shone particularly brightly under the light, and then Ye Anyu heard his answer: "My classmate, I am married."
Although the host wanted to stop Ye Anyu just now, that was the program requirement. Now that Lu Mingzhou agreed to answer a personal question and answered it, she immediately said, "I originally thought that the senior wore a ring just to ward off romantic interests, but I didn't expect that the senior was really married."
Hearing this, Lu Mingzhou glanced at Ye Anyu who had already sat down. Of course, he didn't see anyone because Ye Anyu buried his head in his clothes after hearing his answer.
Ye Anyu wiped the sweat from his hands and thought to himself: How embarrassing! How could I ask Lu Mingzhou such a question?
Wu Yao, who was unaware of the relationship between the two, didn't notice anything unusual. She was just dejected and muttered to herself, "I wonder which girl is so lucky to marry Senior Lu Mingzhou."
Ye Anyu felt helpless: I would rather not have this blessing.
Ye Anyu felt very annoyed when he thought about facing Lu Mingzhou when he got home at night.
Ye Anyu now just wants to escape from this place and find a place where there is no one, but unfortunately, things don't go as he wishes.
Wu Yao was still immersed in the pain of Senior Lu Mingzhou being married. She looked at Ye Anyu with a firm gaze: "Anyu, I need to heal."
“???” Ye Anyu frowned.
Wu Yao looked at Ye Anyu's indifferent expression and asked, "Senior Lu is already married, aren't you heartbroken?"
Heartbroken? It was indeed heartbroken, not because Lu Mingzhou was married, but because she was Lu Mingzhou's wife, a wife who could not be seen in public.
"My heart aches, my heart aches, I'm so heartbroken." Ye Anyu was very perfunctory.
"Hey, can you be a little more perfunctory? Forget it, you don't understand my pain. I need food now to heal my wounded heart!" After saying that, Wu Yao pulled Ye Anyu towards a place.
"Where are we going?" Ye Anyu asked in confusion.
"Of course we're going to eat. You haven't forgotten that there will be a dinner party this afternoon, right?" Wu Yao asked casually. After all, she had mentioned this to Ye Anyu several times yesterday.
"Ah? Yeah." Ye Anyu really forgot. Since the moment Lu Mingzhou was waiting for her at home in the morning, she had put everything behind her.
Looking at Ye Anyu's expression, Wu Yao knew that Ye Anyu must have forgotten. She said, "It's not too late to remember now. Let's go."
"But isn't it only noon now?" Ye Anyu raised another question.
"Let's go and catch up with old classmates first."
Can't I just not go? Before she could even utter this sentence, Wu Yao stopped her: "It's so hard to have dinner with you, you can't refuse."
Okay, let’s eat. As long as she doesn’t have to face Lu Mingzhou now, everything will be fine.
The place where they had dinner was a Chinese restaurant in front of the northwest gate of Qingyuan University, called Xincheng Restaurant. Their class had had dinner here when they were in college, and this restaurant was also a frequent place for school clubs to have dinner.
When Ye Anyu and Wu Yao arrived at the restaurant, many old classmates had already gathered there, talking and laughing, and it was extremely noisy.
Ye Anyu looked at the restaurant full of people and asked, "Are there so many people in our class?"
Wu Yao looked helpless and said, "An Yu, you're already drunk before you even start drinking. There aren't that many people in our class. Here are all our classmates from the Computer Science Department, including our seniors and juniors."
It turned out that the Computer Science Department had booked the Xincheng Restaurant, and Lu Mingzhou was also from the Computer Science Department. If that was the case, Ye Anyu suddenly had an ominous premonition: Wouldn't Lu Mingzhou have to come too?
"It's a pity that Senior Lu Mingzhou won't be coming. He left after his speech." Wu Yao looked regretful.
Fortunately, Ye Anyu felt relieved. Lu Mingzhou was a very busy man. How could he have time to come here?
In order to entertain their seniors, the students of the Computer Science Department specially decorated the Xincheng Restaurant. They not only prepared pre-dinner desserts, but also prepared red wine. It looked like a cocktail party.
As soon as Wu Yao saw the dessert, her eyes lit up and she left Ye Anyu and went straight to eat.
Ye Anyu shook his head helplessly, picked up a glass of red wine on the table, found a corner to sit down, and looked at the people walking around and drinking and chatting happily with boredom.
"Anyu, why are you sitting here?" A voice interrupted Ye Anyu's peace.
Ye Anyu looked over and saw a familiar figure in front of her: "Mr. Shi."
Shi Taichu was smiling and cheerful, but when he heard Ye Anyu call him Mr. Shi, he frowned and said, "Today is a class reunion, so please don't call me Mr. Shi."
Ye Anyu laughed dryly and said, "I'm used to it, Senior."
"That's right. You always call me that, which makes us feel unfamiliar with each other." Shi Taichu was very satisfied with Ye Anyu calling him "senior" and his face was full of smiles.
Shi Taichu walked over to Ye Anyu and sat down. He picked up his wine glass and touched it with hers, saying, "Isn't it boring to sit here alone?"
Ye Anyu shook his head and took a sip of wine.
"Mr. Shi, I've been looking for you for a long time, and now you are here." A man with a round figure and a smooth head walked towards them with a wine glass in hand, followed by several people.
"Mr. Li." Shi Taichu stood up and clinked glasses with the visitor.
"I was wondering where Mr. Shi had gone. Turns out he was with his wife." The man looked at Ye Anyu and said with a smile.
Ye Anyu knew that they had misunderstood and was about to explain when he suddenly heard a familiar name.
"Mr. Lu, I didn't expect you to come."
