Chapter 1253: Chapter 1252: Lin Xiang Comes Over
This time, Su Wen called Ye Qiu over mainly to seek Ye Qiu’s opinion. Since Ye Qiu had said that, he needed to carefully consider what the State Preceptor invited by Master Liu had said.
Especially now that he noticed Ye Qiu, although young, his words carried a different weight.
The fact that Ye Qiu could leave the construction site safely showed he was more formidable than the previous Master Yuan.
When Su Luoluo personally escorted Ye Qiu outside, she asked, "Is it because of past events that your impression of my parents is bad?"
"In the past, we were not from the same world, so there’s nothing much about your parents."
Ye Qiu said.
"What about now?"
Su Luoluo hurriedly asked.
"I don’t know now."
Su Luoluo could only watch Ye Qiu get into the car and leave.
When Ye Qiu returned to Peach Blossom Spring Villa, his parents and sister were already back. As Ye Qiu sat in the living room, Ye Xue said, "I’m getting ready to take the third part of the driving test."
"Sis, how is your learning going?"
"It feels okay, but I’m still not very familiar with shifting gears."
The cars she’s driving now are all automatic, while most of the tests involve manual transmission. Most luxury cars nowadays are nearly all automatic.
So, Ye Xue initially opted for manual transmission mainly to practice more.
"Sis, get more familiar with it before taking the test."
Of course, Ye Xue decided what car she wants to buy, and Ye Qiu has already considered this for her. If Mercedes seems too ostentatious, she can opt for something else, like the Beetle model that Li Qianqian drives.
Ye Qiu chatted with his parents downstairs for a while before heading up to play games in his room for two hours. He noticed Xia Tiantian was playing games too and wondered if Ling Fei had gone to tutor her.
Around ten at night, Ye Qiu went to take a shower, then continued his cultivation of the "Primordial Five Emperors Technique."
The next morning, Ye Qiu woke up early, washed up, and after breakfast, drove himself to Jin University Campus. After arriving at Jin University, he attended two classes in the morning, and in the afternoon, since there was a basketball game, he had promised Song Ying to be there.
As for whether to participate, he would see then!
Nearing lunchtime, Ye Qiu and Luo Yang headed to Dining Hall No. 1. Just as they sat down, Ye Qiu suddenly saw a young beauty walking towards him.
Lin Yazhong had been drinking Chinese medicine for a few days at the Affiliated Hospital to regulate his health; once he confirmed his heart was completely fine, he prepared to return to Malaysia.
After all, this time coming back to Jinling’s hometown for a while, nearly escaping death, he was fortunate to meet Ye Qiu.
Upon learning that Ye Qiu was studying at Jinling University, Lin Yazhong and his younger daughter Lin Xiang took a car to Jin University.
During the Republic of China era, Jinling University was a prestigious institution; now it is one of the top higher education institutions in Jinling and nationwide. As Lin Yazhong and Lin Xiang got out of the car, Lin Xiang held her father’s arm and asked, "Dad, did you really study here back then?"
"Of course, it was really hard to get in back then, but thanks to your great-grandfather being an overseas Chinese who donated a lot to the country, I had the chance to come in."
Because he studied here, Lin Yazhong met his first love, but didn’t complete his studies before heading to Malaysia for business with his parents, and his first love didn’t end well either.
The day they were on the Ferris wheel, recalling what they had said to each other made Lin Yazhong feel very excited, leading to his heart attack.
Lin Yazhong had never told anyone about these things, not even his parents.
So, he knew he owed his first love, but after more than thirty years without contact, he didn’t know how she was doing now.
Now, as Lin Yazhong visits Jin University again, he notices the old university gate arch at the South Entrance is still there, but the new one appears grander, yet something feels missing.
Of course, Jin University now mainly features new buildings, including the teaching blocks and library all being new, while many old constructions, besides a small portion preserved as cultural heritage buildings, have mostly been demolished. Hence, when he returns here, things indeed feel different.
Seeing these changes inevitably makes Lin Yazhong quite emotional, and somewhat excited, but with his heart condition completely cured now, he won’t experience any further issues.
"Dad, weren’t you looking for that Doctor Ye?"
"I’ll ask around with other students."
There are plenty of young students passing by who might know where Ye Qiu is.
"Excuse me, could I ask you something?"
Lin Yazhong asked.
"Sure, sir, what would you like to ask?"
"Does your school have a student named Ye Qiu? Do you know where he is now?"
Ye Qiu was currently ranked first in the influential figures list; students from Jin University and the nearby university city all knew him.
Upon hearing this gentleman ask about Ye Qiu, the girl immediately said, "You mean our junior; we all know him. He’s a prominent figure here. He should be eating now; you can ask other students."
Lin Yazhong and Lin Xiang were surprised, not expecting Ye Qiu to be so renowned at Jin University, realizing this young man must be quite extraordinary.
As the two walked and chatted, they realized that time flew by in the Jin University campus.
As they headed towards Dining Hall No. 1, Lin Yazhong asked a few students, who all said Ye Qiu was eating in the hall with his dorm mates.
Upon entering the dining hall, after asking a few more students, they soon had a student personally lead them over, and as Ye Qiu instructed Zhou Shaohui and the others to fetch food, he unexpectedly saw Lin Xiang alongside Lin Yazhong.
"Mr. Lin, you’ve come by!"
Luo Yang and the others didn’t know the relationship between these two and Ye Qiu, but could tell they were significant individuals, hurriedly offering seats to Lin Yazhong and Lin Xiang.
"Doctor Ye, I never thought you’d also be a student here. Actually, I was a student here over thirty years ago, in the ’79 cohort majoring in finance."
"Mr. Lin, so you’re also my fellow alum."
Ye Qiu chuckled.
As Lin Yazhong sat down, Lin Xiang took tissues from her bag, wiped down the seat multiple times, and then sat. She’s now a third-year student at Malaysia’s top university, yet she usually eats at home instead of the school dining hall.
So now she felt the dining table was greasy, not too clean.
"Have you eaten yet?"
Ye Qiu asked.
"Not yet, we were thinking of inviting you for a meal."
Lin Yazhong said.
"No need for that; let’s eat here. The Huaxia dining hall is known as the ninth cuisine. You should try it."
"Is that so? It’s been over thirty years since I last ate in Jin University’s dining hall, I certainly should try it."
At this point, Ye Qiu instructed Zhou Shaohui and the others to bring over the food. Considering Lin Yazhong’s condition, greasy meat dishes probably aren’t suitable, so he asked them to bring some vegetables for him.
