97: Chapter 97 Daughter, you came back from the bathroom so happy?
"Really, you actually agreed?"
"I'll give you ten seconds."
"Ten seconds isn't enough, I'm not a quick-shot…"
Shen Weiyue complained, but his movements weren't slow at all. He pulled over a passing middle-aged woman: "Beautiful lady, could you help us take a photo together? Thank you."
It had been many years since anyone had called her a beautiful lady, especially coming from such a handsome young man, and her face bloomed into a smile.
Shen Weiyue opened the phone camera and handed it to her: "Just press this button in a moment, and please shout when you press it."
"Alright, young man. Your girlfriend is really pretty, you're very lucky." The woman returned the compliment immediately.
Zhao Qingyan bit her lip, wanting to explain, but Shen Weiyue was already reminding her to keep smiling.
"Relax, look at the lens, keep a smile on your face…"
How could the cold and aloof Zhao the Fox possibly listen to him? She just stood there, looking somewhat restrained.
Shen Weiyue didn't care. When the woman counted down 3, 2, 1, he playfully leaned towards her, resulting in a slightly comical-looking photo.
"Young man, take a look, is this okay?"
"It's good, thank you."
Shen Weiyue smiled as he took the phone and began to admire the photo.
In the image, Zhao Qingyan was flustered by his leaning movement, and on her perpetually cold face, there was a hint of bashful annoyance, with a look of mock reproach in her eyes.
This moment happened to be captured, looking very lively and cute.
"Damn, whose girlfriend is this? She looks so beautiful!"
"Oh, she's mine, that's so cool…"
Hearing him talk to himself, Zhao Qingyan said in a fit of pique: "Shen Weiyue! She's not yours, it's a fake!"
She really wanted to snatch the phone and delete the photo.
"Pfft, who knows? Anyway, since I took it, it's mine."
Shen Weiyue quickly shoved the phone into his pocket, then waved his hand dismissively: "Alright, you should go back and board your flight."
The announcement in the airport indicated that the flight to Beijing had begun boarding.
Zhao Qingyan's phone also rang; her mom and dad were calling to urge her.
In embarrassment and anger, she poked Shen Weiyue in the head again, saying as she ran: "Shen Weiyue, if you dare to talk nonsense with my photo, I'll fly to Hangzhou just to beat you up!"
"Oh my, how scary. Then come and hit me~"
Shen Weiyue watched her gritted-teeth expression with a cheeky grin, and just as she was about to disappear, he waved and shouted at her: "Zhao the Fox, have a safe trip, goodbye!"
"Hmph, never see you again, Shen Weiyue, you smelly idiot."
The young girl flicked her ponytail and disappeared around the corner.
…
Gate 172.
Their daughter wasn't answering the phone, and Principal Zhao Weiming and Lu Chunyue were getting anxious.
The couple was calculating the time and wondering whether to seek help from the airport broadcast when they saw Zhao Qingyan's figure appear in their line of sight.
She was running in a hurry, slightly out of breath.
"Baby, where did you go? Why are you back so late?" Lu Chunyue asked with concern.
"I went to the Restroom." Zhao Qingyan replied without changing her expression.
The family of three walked along the boarding bridge onto the plane and found their three seats, with Zhao Qingyan taking the window seat.
While waiting for takeoff, Lu Chunyue noticed the corners of her mouth slightly curled up, and couldn't help but feel puzzled.
It was just a trip to the Restroom, why was she so happy?
She nudged Principal Zhao Weiming with her elbow and pursed her lips.
The Principal, who was reading a newspaper, quickly followed his wife's gaze and immediately understood what she meant.
He shook his head, signaling that he didn't know either.
The couple looked at each other.
She had been ice-cold when they left, not speaking or smiling the whole way, but now she was secretly giggling to herself while looking out the window.
Was the bare airport runway really that interesting?
While they were guessing wildly, Zhao Qingyan suddenly frowned and stood up, preparing to walk outside.
"We're taking off soon, where are you going?"
"Mom, let me pass, I need to go to the Restroom."
"Didn't you just go to the Restroom?"
"I drank too much water."
The little fox answered without changing her expression, leaving the Principal and his wife suspicious again.
Something was wrong. There must be a problem somewhere.
…
Approaching eleven in the morning.
The flight Shen Weiyue was on finally took off, and with a strong sense of acceleration, he set off for Hangzhou.
After sleeping for two hours on the plane, it was already past one in the afternoon when he arrived at Hangzhou airport.
Shen Weiyue collected his luggage and walked towards the exit. Seeing the sign for Jianghai University from afar, he walked straight towards it.
A girl wearing a Jianghai University volunteer vest asked with a smile: "Student, are you a freshman of the Class of 2009 at Jiang University?"
"Yes, Computer Science major." Shen Weiyue smiled back.
At his smile, the girl felt her eyes light up.
Heavens, this freshman looks so good when he smiles.
Shen Weiyue was long past being that penniless pauper from a few months ago; managing his personal image was no pressure at all.
While in Shenzhen, Shen Weiyue had found a professional barber to style his hair, and his clothing style had also been changed to match the trends of the future.
Now, not only was he clean and refreshing, but his original melancholic temperament, formed from a poor childhood, had inexplicably gained a bit of depth and composure, along with a touch of devil-may-care bad boy charm?
It was too complex, but his smile was absolutely lethal.
Shen Weiyue didn't even know it himself, but Zhao Qingyan had also been captivated by the changes in him after not seeing him for two months.
Otherwise, how could such a cold and aloof fox have been so easily made to lose her composure by him at the airport, and even have her first photo taken?
There were two other men helping with the welcome. Seeing the girl's infatuated look, they pushed her speechlessly: "What are you doing?"
"Oh, oh, hello junior, I'm a volunteer for the school's welcome, Xu Ming, from the Foreign Languages Department. I'll take you to the waiting area; our school has buses waiting."
The girl hurriedly withdrew her gaze and said to the two men: "I'll take him over first, you guys keep watch."
After saying that, she didn't wait for their agreement and started walking outside, with Shen Weiyue carrying his suitcase behind Xu Ming.
Those selected as welcome volunteers generally had good appearances and temperaments.
From behind, Xu Ming had a pretty good figure, with a slim waist and a perky butt; no wonder the two jerk seniors looked so unhappy.
So they were treating me as a competitor?
"Junior, what's your name?"
"Shen Weiyue."
"Do you need me to help you carry your suitcase?"
"No need, it's quite heavy, I'll do it myself."
Damn, aren't girls supposed to be unable to even open a bottle cap? How come someone is fighting to carry my suitcase?
Jiang University truly lives up to its reputation as a top-tier 985 university; the students inside are all so respectful to the young and old, and have such a warm-hearted spirit.
It's much better than that crappy school from my past life!
Shen Weiyue marveled inwardly, full of anticipation for his upcoming university life.
Xu Ming walked very slowly. The distance from the airport exit to the parking lot wasn't actually that far, but she had somehow taken over ten minutes to walk it.
While walking, she asked him all sorts of questions, and even said she wanted to invite Shen Weiyue to join a club, and asked for his mobile number.
Seniors, after all, should be respected.
Especially when she also has long legs and a perky butt, it's hard not to go soft on her.
"Zhao the Fox, I'm sorry. With you, my fake girlfriend, not around, I'm getting seduced by someone else in a heartbeat…"
