"I'm getting old! Nobody wants to listen to my rambling anymore."
"Hehe, you can keep rambling on."
It was time for get out of class to end and lunch was about to start, so Zhang Hongmei decided to go straight to the cafeteria.
Arriving at the cafeteria more than three years later, it still felt the same. The tables were dark, but the surfaces were unusually clean, and there were still very few benches.
Nothing has changed; everything is exactly the same as before. I can almost still recall the scene of eating in the cafeteria back then.
Students gradually arrived, all looking at Zhang Hongmei with curiosity.
This is the dining hall for the Political Science and Economics departments, and it's the best dining hall in the entire capital university. Those who eat here will all go on to make a name for themselves in society.
Zhang Hongmei was afraid of missing Song Zigan, so she stood at the door, accepting the gaze of all the students.
But the cafeteria was full, and he wasn't there. What's going on? Does Song Zigan not eat in the cafeteria? We don't know anything about him.
He raised his wrist, checked the time, and decided to leave if the guy didn't show up in ten more minutes.
Song Zigan had no appetite today, and on top of that, he had too much work to do. Ever since he took over as student council president, he felt like he had fallen into a trap.
It sounds glamorous on the surface, but only those who have experienced it know that it's not something a human being can do. It's incredibly frustrating.
"Let's go, let's hurry up and eat. Someone just came back from the cafeteria and said there's a celestial being standing at the cafeteria entrance. It seems like she's looking for someone. Shall we go take a look?"
Song Zigan's heart stirred. According to the timeline, Zhang Hongmei should have returned by now. In this world, he was the only one who could be called a celestial being.
He threw down the book he was holding and stormed out the door.
"Hey! Wait a minute! Even if you were a celestial being, you don't have to act like this, do you?"
Song Zigan completely ignored his classmates' shouts from behind and ran to the cafeteria with the spirit of a 100-meter sprint.
The time had come, and Zhang Hongmei thought she wouldn't see Song Zigan today. She decided to wait until he returned.
Just as I turned to leave, I saw people running towards me from afar.
Ha! It really is him.
When Song Zigan saw Zhang Hongmei turn around, countless emotions surged through his heart. It really was her; she had returned to see him.
He sped up, rushed to Zhang Hongmei, excitedly hugged her tightly, and then immediately let go.
Welcome back!
"Hehe, I checked the time. If you miss this, we won't be able to meet today."
Everyone in the cafeteria was stunned. What was going on? This girl had come to see the student council president. The president's obsequious, ingratiating smile and his surprising hug made the scene unforgettable for everyone.
"Hehe, how could I possibly miss out on this opportunity?" Having already missed the chance to stand beside you, I will absolutely not miss the chance to meet you again.
"Let's go, shall I treat you to dinner?"
"In the cafeteria?"
"Hehe, if we're eating in the cafeteria, you'll have to treat me."
"I'll treat you; I'm taking the afternoon off."
“Great! We’ve moved, so I’ll take you to see the new place. Professor Kong came over for dinner today, it was quite lively, Grandpa must be very happy.”
The two walked and talked until they reached the cafeteria, only to realize they had forgotten their lunchboxes.
"Looks like I'll have to treat you. Let's go out to eat right now. I'd like some hot pot."
"Okay, let's go eat hot pot, but it's on me!"
"Sure, you can treat me. I'll wait for you at the school gate, and you can ask for leave."
"No need, I'll just have a classmate tell the counselor."
The classmates who had followed Song Zigan were so shocked to see the president and Tianxian chatting and laughing that their jaws dropped.
"Don't worry, don't worry, I'll ask for leave for you."
Zhang Hongmei and her companion walked towards the school gate, and along the way, no one could look away from them.
"Hehe, I'm just taking advantage of your fame. Even if I were the president, I wouldn't get this many stares."
"They've grown up. They even tease me now!"
"Zhang Hongmei, watch your mouth. I'm only two years older than you. What do you mean by 'grown up'? That's disrespecting me!"
"Hehe, then I'll take you seriously."
The two teased each other without any awkwardness or estrangement after not seeing each other for three years.
"Song Zigan. Is this the reason you rejected me?" Suddenly, a female classmate rushed over and questioned him arrogantly.
"Get out of the way. Are you crazy?!"
Zhang Hongmei thought to herself, "This guy still has no gentlemanly manners at all; he's really rude to girls."
"Song Zigan, answer me!"
"Are you crazy? What's it to you what I do? Get out of my way."
Zhang Hongmei glanced at the girl in front of her. She was quite pretty, but her spoiled and mean expression dragged down her looks.
When the girl realized she couldn't get an answer from Song Zigan, she immediately turned to Zhang Hongmei.
"Who are you? Song Zigan is mine. I advise you to stay away from him. He is not someone you can covet."
By this time, a large crowd had gathered around them.
Zhang Hongmei ignored her and looked at the time.
The girl was thrilled when she saw the watch on Zhang Hongmei's wrist. It was a world-renowned brand, and a limited edition at that; it wasn't something you could just buy with money.
"Shao Yulan, I'm telling you again, I hate you terribly. Please don't ever appear in front of me again. If I see you again, I won't speak to you."
"Hongmei, let's go!"
Shao Yulan was initially a little apprehensive. She was spoiled and a pampered young lady, but the reason she was able to win her grandfather's favor among so many children in the family was because she knew when to stop.
But Song Zigan's two completely different tones had provoked her. Without thinking, she reached out and swung her hand at Zhang Hongmei.
Song Zigan was absolutely furious. He grabbed her wrist and shoved her hard. Shao Yulan fell to the ground.
Zhang Hongmei took a step back and smiled at a girl who was closer to her. "Could you please go and call Professor Kong Mingde? Just tell him that Zhang Hongmei is here."
The female student was dazzled by Zhang Hongmei's laughter. She nodded subconsciously, then turned and ran to find the professor.
Zhang Hongmei felt that Kong Mingde should step in, since Song Zigan's actions were a bit too extreme. Judging from the girl's appearance, she was clearly from a wealthy and noble family, so they shouldn't cause her any trouble.
And then there's the fact that I really have no way to deal with barbarians. I was genuinely startled just now.
"Song Zigan, how dare you treat me like this? Can't you feel my sincerity? You dare to hit me for some other woman? Don't blame me for being impolite in the future."
Upon hearing the words "wild woman," Zhang Hongmei realized she was truly angry.
"Hehe, you're welcome? How do you want to be impolite? I, Zhang Hongmei, would like to see for myself."
The students watching the commotion felt that the name Zhang Hongmei sounded very familiar, but they couldn't quite place it.
