"Really? How come I didn't know that?"
"You're not even in the UK, how would you know? They're all watching to see when your next sale of spots will be."
"I guess we'll have to wait a bit longer, at least six months from now. The workload of cooperating with the military and the Kyoto municipal government is just too much; the people in the lab are already overwhelmed."
"Tsk tsk tsk, has your Star Dream Lab ever considered going public? I can help you with that."
"We are not considering going public."
"That's true. Anyway, you have plenty of money, so you don't need to raise funds to do research."
"Let's go back."
"Okay, sure."
When Wang Xinghe and Wu Luoxi returned together, Rong Xu winked at Wang Xinghe.
"I ran into them when I came out of the restroom, so we came back together."
"Wu Luoxi, are you still thinking about Xinghe? It's been four years since you left, and you still like Xinghe after you came back?"
"Who told you I like Wang Xinghe? It was that obvious?"
"Of course! Ask anyone here, and you'll see that you like Wang Xinghe."
“Yes, Luo Xi, back then I was jealous because I liked you and saw you getting so close to Xinghe, so I caused trouble for Xinghe,” Zhang Yuanhang said.
"Pshaw! So what if I like him? If you were as outstanding as him, I would like you too."
"No, no, no, please stop liking me, I have a girlfriend."
"Rongxu, do you want to die?! Who would like you? Dream on! Even if every man in my life died, I would never like you!"
"You want to be with me? I don't want to be with you, you crazy woman!"
"Who are you talking about! It's been years, and now you dare to insult me to my face!"
"Alright, you two, stop arguing. Are you finished eating? It's convenient, this place is quite close to our school, why don't we go back to school now?"
"Sure, let's go. Let's reminisce about our high school days. It's only a little past eight o'clock now, it's not too late to go back to school."
After discussing it, the group decided to go to the school. However, Wang Xinghe and the other boys had all been drinking, while Wu Luoxi and Chu Yundie hadn't, so they could drive.
The two cars arrived at the Capital Elite High School. It had been several years since I'd been back, but nothing had changed here.
"I heard that our high school has started having evening self-study sessions now. Looking at it this way, the lights in the teaching building are all on, so it's true."
"Evening self-study? Luckily, luckily we graduated four years ago, so we can't attend any evening self-study sessions."
“You guys should be content. I’m in high school in Ningjiang, and I have to study until 10 p.m. every night.”
"Tsk tsk tsk, if they make us stay up until ten o'clock, we'll probably blow up the school."
"See? That's the difference. Master Jing is really something else."
They drove the car to the entrance, stopped it, and several people got out.
What are you people doing?
"Uncle Security Guard, we graduated four years ago. We had a get-together nearby tonight and suddenly wanted to go back to our school for a visit. Could you let us in for a walk?"
"If you want to get into the school, a teacher from the school needs to call me. You can contact your high school homeroom teacher."
"Xinghe, why don't you show your face? You're so famous, maybe the security guard will recognize you."
"Call Lao Shen right away, I don't have the nerve to do that."
"I'll play."
Rong Xu took out his phone and dialed Shen Duzhi's number.
"Hey, Lao Shen, where are you?"
Shen Duzhi was still in class for evening self-study when the phone rang, causing his classmates to secretly laugh.
Shen Duzhi glanced at the students below the podium, glared at them, and then went to the corridor outside the classroom.
Who are you?
"Me? Old Shen, don't you recognize me? I'm your proudest student."
"Don't let me find out who you are, or you're finished!"
"Uh, Lao Shen, you can't even recognize my voice? Rong Xu, the captain of the three-time national college basketball league champions, Rong Xu."
"You brat? I don't have a student like you!" Chen Duzhi was about to hang up the phone in anger, wondering how he could have taught such an impolite student.
"Hey, Ms. Shen, you got hung up on."
Upon hearing Wu Luoxi's voice, Shen Duzhi finally calmed down.
"Luo Xi, what are you doing here?"
"Hey, Lao Shen, how come I can't recognize my voice, but I recognized yours right away?" Rong Xu felt frustrated. Was he really that bad? Even Shen Duzhi couldn't recognize him?
"Here's the thing, we had lunch near the school and then wanted to take a walk around the campus. The security guard at the gate said he'd call you. Why don't you talk to them and ask them to let us in?"
"Okay, give them the phone. Who's here?"
"There's a super important person here. I wonder if you can guess who it is, Professor Shen."
"A super big shot?"
"Yeah, the one who did the best in our batch."
"Could it be the Milky Way?"
"Teacher Shen, it's me."
"Oh, okay, okay, come in. I'm having evening self-study. I'll come find you in a bit."
Frustration and helplessness were written on Rong Xu's face.
"Alright, let's go, Rongxu. If you're not going in, we're going in and we're not going to bother with you anymore."
"Why? Old Shen's attitude towards you is completely different from mine?"
"Given your performance in school, it's a miracle Old Shen didn't hang up on you on the spot," Bai Zhengyang added sarcastically.
"Sigh, I never thought I'd be doing so badly."
"You're only just finding out now!"
After hanging up the phone, Shen Duzhi immediately informed the principal that Wang Xinghe and his group had visited their alma mater.
"What? You mean Wang Xinghe is back?"
"Yes, Principal, I'd like them to come to the classroom and meet their younger schoolmates, what do you think?"
"Okay, okay, I'll go too. Let's go pick them up. Why didn't you tell us beforehand? Otherwise, we could have organized the whole school and let Xinghe encourage them."
The group had only been walking around the school for a short while when Shen Duzhi and the principal approached them.
"Oh dear, Wang Xinghe, look at you guys, you didn't even tell us you were coming back to school beforehand. We haven't prepared anything."
"Principal, we're just here to take a look around the school. We don't need to prepare anything. Hello, Teacher Shen."
"Hello, Teacher Shen."
"Old Shen, you really don't remember me? Me? Rong Xu!"
"You reek of alcohol, stay away from me. You've even learned to drink now?"
"No, Lao Shen, you don't like me, you're not allowed to dislike me!" Rong Xu held onto Shen Duzhi's hand tightly, and Shen Duzhi couldn't shake him off.
"Haha, this must be Rong Xu, our school's sports star. I didn't expect him to be so cute in private."
“Principal, you have a good eye for talent. That’s right, I am Rong Xu.”
