Chapter 460: 409 Youth

"What’s up, didn’t sleep all night?"

After returning to school from the hospital, Jiang Chen caught up on some sleep until Luo Peng woke him up for dinner.

He rubbed his face and sat up in bed.

"What were you doing last night? Fighting battles all night with Li Junior Sister?"

Luo Peng smirked wickedly.

Jiang Chen was unconcerned, but Bai Haoran felt somewhat embarrassed upon hearing this.

"Can’t your mind be a bit cleaner?"

Jiang Chen got out of bed and washed his face.

Leaning against the wardrobe with his arms crossed, Luo Peng asked, "So tell us, what were you doing up all night? Don’t tell me you were at an internet cafe playing games the whole time."

In fact, during their first year, aside from the well-off Luo Peng, the other three didn’t have computers, so they often stayed out all night gaming.

The first half of the night was lively and heated.

The second half was quiet and reserved.

After all, back then, everyone was a beginner without the skills they have now, simply getting thrashed in game. And since they had just entered school and weren’t that close, a win was hard to come by. When leaving the internet cafe for breakfast in the morning, they’d rather sit at separate tables.

Looking back on it now, it brought back a different kind of nostalgia.

"I didn’t play games, but I did maintain social stability and safeguarded the people’s property safety."

"Tsk."

Luo Peng laughed, "Why don’t you just say you went to defend the Earth?"

Jiang Chen dried his face and did not reply.

"Peng Zi, why are you so concerned about Jiang Chen?"

Li Shao seemed serious, "You couldn’t have been harboring a crush on Jiang Chen all this time, could you?"

"Go away!"

Luo Peng cursed with a laugh, "If I had a crush on him, wouldn’t I have taken my chances on all those nights by now?"

Bai Zheli shivered as if he were grossed out.

Though he was still inexperienced, he understood enough.

"Let’s go, time to eat."

Jiang Chen shook his hands and led the way.

The group arrived at the fourth cafeteria.

"Jiang Chen, I really miss Teacher Xiang Tian, what should I do?"

While eating, Luo Peng sighed and showed a touch of sentimentality.

"She just went back to her country. After you graduate, you can go to Dongying and find her," Jiang Chen replied.

"Alas."

Luo Peng said despondently, "It’s not as easy as you make it sound. I can’t even contact her anymore, she doesn’t reply to calls or texts, and I don’t know if she changed her number. How can I find her?"

Jiang Chen remembered the last phone call with that stunning teacher.

I believe.

We will meet again.

"Luo Bro, as the book says, ’In life, we will meet again in unexpected places.’ If you and Teacher Xiang Tian are truly fated, you will see each other again," Bai Zheli said earnestly.

Jiang Chen smiled, but then his brow furrowed without reason.

Why did he suddenly feel that the light laughter from the other end of the phone this morning sounded very much like that stunning teacher’s voice?

"I’m afraid that by the time we meet again, she’ll already be someone’s wife and mother," Luo Peng sighed.

Jiang Chen cut off his train of thought and focused on eating.

Perhaps the series of bizarre events he had recently experienced made it easy for him to have wild thoughts.

June.

The definitive graduation season.

These days, Jiang Chen had been honestly staying at school, preparing for the final thesis defense.

There was no need for him to worry about Sagan Nobuo’s case.

However, according to news from Shi Qianxi, things weren’t going smoothly.

The person, Sagan Nobuo, had been successfully apprehended, but he proved to be more troublesome than Qing Ye. Moreover, the most critical issue was that the Dongying embassy, somehow getting wind of the situation, intervened on the day after Sagan Nobuo’s arrest, and even made the unreasonable request to extradite him back to their country.

Of course.

This request was naturally rejected outright, but due to the intervention of the Dongying embassy, certain special measures could no longer be used. As a result, the case reached a stalemate with Sagan Nobuo.

"Your defense is tomorrow?"

Walking around the campus, Jiang Chen was accompanying Li Shuru, savoring the limited time left in their campus life.

"Yeah, time flies really fast."

Reflecting back on how he had first entered the school, heavy with baggage, it felt like just yesterday.

"Are you ready?"

"What? Are you afraid I won’t graduate?"

Jiang Chen laughed, cockily, "Don’t forget, I’m a genius. Just a defense, it’s a piece of cake."

Li Shuru was amused.

From the time she’d met him until now, this guy had undergone earth-shattering changes, but sometimes she felt like nothing had changed at all.

"It would be great if you were only a sophomore now."

Li Shuru said softly, seemingly lamenting how swiftly time passes.

Jiang Chen turned his head.

"I did have a sophomore year, but back then, you wouldn’t even spare me a glance."

Li Shuru wasn’t embarrassed, "But back then, you didn’t pursue me either."

Jiang Chen was speechless and then burst into laughter.

This girl was indeed very clever.

A master at the art of changing the subject.

He had always understood that for this cool and aloof girl to walk by his left side now, his "wealth" was an indispensable prerequisite.

But Jiang Chen was also certain.

Even if he had nothing now, this girl would still stand by him through thick and thin.

He took the initiative to hold that soft and delicate hand, "So it goes to show, it’s not about meeting early, but meeting at just the right time."

Li Shuru smiled knowingly.

The air was filled with the rich fragrance of osmanthus.

"By the way, they’ve caught the mastermind. You shouldn’t be in danger anymore."

"Mhm."

Maybe that was what made this girl unique.

She never went on and on, incessantly asking questions.

Even though he had now come across people like Shi Qianxi with immense family wealth, celebrities as beautiful as Pei Yunxi, or indescribable individuals like Lan Peizhi, the place Li Shuru held in his heart never seemed to change.

He really wasn’t a heartless person after all.

Jiang Chen reflected in silence.

————

Jiang Chen really hadn’t been bragging. Even though he had been somewhat "irresponsible" during his last year, his defense still went smoothly.

In fact.

Not a single person failed the defense in the class.

When the instructor announced that the defense was successfully completed, there was a round of loud applause from the class.

"We’re about to graduate and our class leader wants to organize a dinner. He asked me to check when you’re available."

After the defense, Ai Qian came over.

So-called dinner was just a farewell meal.

It’s part of the graduation process.

And as everyone knows.

Jiang Chen is a busy man now.

"Anytime is fine, I’ll go with whatever the class leader arranges,"

Jiang Chen said with a smile, looking at his former lover, "You’ve lost weight."

Ai Qian was quite generous, casually smiling back, "Isn’t it good to be a bit slimmer?"

Jiang Chen knew she had already started an internship.

"You’re not cut out to be a strong woman. Just deal with work without overdoing it, don’t push yourself too hard."

"Look down on me, do you?"

Ai Qian gave him a look but didn’t linger to chat.

"Then I’ll go talk to the class leader."

Jiang Chen nodded.

Ai Qian turned to leave.

It was then that Jiang Chen noticed she had cut her lush long hair, now sporting a short bob at ear length.

Youth.

It seemed like it was really coming to an end.
