“It will definitely happen. Don’t forget, there’s still one thing you need to do. Since you didn’t have time to do it before Dean Chen passed away, you should put in even more effort. I believe that Dean Chen’s spirit in heaven will see it.”
"Okay, I'm fine now, big sister."
"Oh? It's alright now."
“Yes! You’re right. Dean Chen wouldn’t want to see me like this either. She’s watching everything I’ve done from heaven. Dean Chen’s physical body may no longer be here, but her spirit lives on. I want to carry on that spirit.”
"That's the right way to think. When are you going back to Ningjiang?"
"Let's wait until tomorrow, when my second sister comes back."
"Okay, do you need us to come with you?"
"No need, sister, you all have to be busy. I can manage on my own."
"Okay, let me know anytime if anything comes up."
"Big sister, you've helped me so much these past few days, you should go and get some rest too."
In Shanghai, the three-day competition finally came to an end, and Kyoto University, led by Su Zhilan, won first place in the overall score of the China Business Challenge. Among them, Liu Qingmeng was the most dazzling.
Liu Qingmeng's composure, calmness, wit, and decisiveness on the field have won the favor of many big names. Liu Qingmeng, who is still a freshman in college, has already received an invitation from a company.
However, Liu Qingmeng refused them all. She wanted to wait until after graduation to go home and inherit the Liu Group. Her parents had expressed this idea more than once.
"The competition is finally over. We can say we've successfully completed our mission this time."
"Yes, everyone, thank you for your hard work. I specially applied for a scholarship from the school. You are free to do whatever you want and have three days of free time to enjoy Shanghai!"
"Wow! Really? Principal Su, that's wonderful!"
"Yes! Principal Su, you've been busy with the competition these past few days. Although you're in Shanghai, you haven't been anywhere!"
"Have fun and relax these three days. The school will reimburse your expenses, but not too much. If it exceeds three thousand, we won't reimburse you!" Su Zhilan said jokingly.
"Principal Su, don't worry, how could one of us possibly spend three thousand in three days?"
"Yes, Principal Su, you're talking about just one of us, aren't you?"
"Otherwise what? You want seven or eight of you to spend three thousand in total? The school isn't that stingy, is it?"
"Hehe, Principal Su is so generous!"
"Long live Principal Su! Let's go then!"
Seeing that they had all left, Su Zhilan breathed a sigh of relief.
"Zhilan, what's wrong? You haven't seemed happy these past few days."
"You noticed?"
"Yes, so the match is over. I wanted to ask what happened and if there's anything I can do to help."
"Qingmeng, let's go sit in that coffee shop over there. I have something to tell you."
"Okay, Sister Zhilan, let's go."
Upon arriving at the coffee shop, Su Zhilan and Liu Qingmeng requested a private room. After the coffee was served, Su Zhilan got up and closed the door.
"Tell me, Sister Zhilan, what exactly happened?"
"Dean Chen has passed away."
"Dean Chen, Dean Chen has passed away?" Upon hearing this news, Liu Qingmeng felt as if time had stopped. Her heart felt as if it were being gripped tightly by an invisible hand, and her throat felt blocked, as if she wanted to speak but couldn't.
Liu Qingmeng picked up her coffee but found she had no strength at all, so she could only stir it with a coffee spoon.
"Dean Chen passed away? That's such a pity. I just saw her interview online a couple of days ago. She was such a good person, and she has passed away."
"Qingmeng, if you want to cry, don't hold it in. Xinghe has already confessed to me, good girl."
When Su Zhilan's words reached Liu Qingmeng's ears, Liu Qingmeng's tears fell onto the table.
"What? When did this happen, Sister Zhilan? Why am I only finding out now?"
Xinghe said he wouldn't tell you yet, he'd tell you after the match today.
“I’ve been chatting with him these past two days, but he hasn’t said anything to me.”
"You can imagine how sad Xinghe was, but he still had to put on a brave face in front of you and say not to disturb your match."
"Sister Zhilan, I want to go back, I want to go back now!"
"Okay, I've already bought my flight for tonight. Let's go to the hotel and pack our bags now."
"Okay, Sister Zhilan, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have kept it from you. I was afraid you wouldn't like me or hate me, so I hid it from you."
"Alright, now is not the time to talk about this, and I already knew about you and Xinghe being together."
"Okay, Sister Zhilan, you don't object to me being with Xinghe, right?"
"I don't object. After so many days of getting to know each other, you're a good girl. There must have been a misunderstanding back then. I approve of you two being together."
"Thank you, thank you, Sister Zhilan."
"Alright, let's stop talking about this. Let's hurry back and pack our bags, or we'll be late."
"Aren't Professor Huang and the others leaving?"
"Yes, Professor Huang and the others also have a three-day holiday. They're here playing with the students. Keep an eye on them, then let's go back."
Upon arriving at the hotel, Su Zhilan noticed Liu Qingmeng absentmindedly packing her luggage. Su Zhilan helped Liu Qingmeng pack, afraid that she might have forgotten something at the hotel.
"Sister Zhilan, I need to make a phone call."
"Go ahead, I'll help you pack your things."
Liu Qingmeng went to the balcony and called Wang Xinghe.
"Xingxing, is Dean Chen really dead? Tell me, this isn't true, is Sister Zhilan lying to me?"
"Mengmeng, I'm sorry I didn't tell you right away. I'm only letting Sister Zhilan tell you now."
When did this happen?
"He died on the very first day of your competition."
"Has it been three days already? Principal Su and I will be back tonight."
"good."
"Xingxing, you must be very sad right now. Even though you're so sad, you still have to put on a brave face in front of me so as not to distract me."
"Mengmeng, aren't you angry with me?"
"How could I blame you, you fool? I'll be back tonight."
"Okay, Mengmeng."
"Have you finished the call?"
"Okay, we're done. We can go now."
"Let's go, let's take a taxi to the airport."
That evening, Su Zhilan and Liu Qingmeng arrived at Kyoto Airport.
"Let's go find the Milky Way."
"Is Xinghe at the Su family's place right now?"
"No, he's in the Osmanthus Garden now. I specifically sent him there."
"Okay, second sister, let's go to the Osmanthus Garden."
The two arrived at the Golden Osmanthus Garden at around 8 p.m., and they didn't even have time to eat.
The moment she opened the door, Liu Qingmeng almost burst into tears.
"Mengmeng, go find Xinghe, he should be in his room."
Liu Qingmeng stood at the door for a few seconds before pushing open Wang Xinghe's room door. The room was pitch black.
"Star, aren't you here?"
"Second sister, Qingmeng, what brings you here! Don't disturb Xinghe yet, he just fell asleep," Su Ke'er said softly as she came out of the next bedroom.
