1086: When is Your School’s Anniversary?

When is Your School’s Anniversary?

They stopped imagining the versions of themselves in a different universe, believing that the current versions of themselves were the best.2

Even until dinner time Professor Zhou did not mention inviting Gu Juexi to R University to give a speech. Before leaving, Gu Juexi asked if he could borrow the photos of Ye Yuwei and promised to return them after a few days.

Ye Yuwei stared at Gu Juexi curiously.

Madam Zhou did not object and asked Professor Zhou to get the photos. She passed them to Gu Juexi after she wrapped them up.

After they left, Ye Yuwei was still curious about what Gu Juexi was planning to do with the photos.

"Let's make a trip to your university's hall—the place where you received multiple awards," Gu Juexi spoke while carrying Xixi.

"It's closed for the holidays," Ye Yuwei reminded, taken aback by the sudden request. 

"I believe the name Gu Juexi would be of good use at times like these," Gu Juexi replied smugly and walked towards the hall they had walked past earlier.

Ye Yuwei watched him, speechless.

Yes, the name Gu Juexi was undoubtedly useful.

After ten minutes, Ye Yuwei was standing in the hall with their son, looking at Gu Juexi and several school authorities following behind.

"This is a little over the top," Ye Xicheng blurted out, standing beside his mummy and watching his daddy assess the stage.

"Correction: this is not just a little over the top," Ye Yuwei replied impassively.

Ye Xicheng accepted the correction. "This is way over the top."

Ye Yuwei stared at Gu Juexi, unsure what Gu Juexi was evaluating. Wasn't the size of the hall fixed? There wasn't anything on the stage, except for a screen which was used with a projector.

Gu Juexi stood in front of the microphone and looked at Ye Yuwei and Ye Xicheng who were standing not too far away. Years ago, he was in a similar position and there was a girl who sat not far away, looking at him in admiration.

After so long, what sort of look was the girl below the stage giving him now?

It was a judgmental look that silently reprimanded his excessiveness.

… Did love dull or grow with time?

From admiration to being able to be herself, he would think that time had indeed strengthened their love.

"CEO Gu, we would like to ask CEO Gu to reconsider our previous invitation," the dean of the school of economics asked earnestly. "Student Ye was an excellent student. CEO Gu had a chance to come across our teaching methods, hence—"

"I don't really like that one." Gu Juexi turned and pointed at the projection screen. "If that's changed to an LCD screen, I believe the viewing would be better." Gu Juexi carried Xixi and left after he finished speaking. 

Ye Yuwei and Leader Zhong were left speechless.

What did that mean?

"Student Ye?"

Ye Yuwei shrugged her shoulders, gesturing that she had no idea as well. CEO Gu's thoughts were hard to guess. 

After they left, a teaching assistant standing next to the dean couldn't suppress his curiosity and asked, "So what does this mean? Do we change the screen?" 

"Of course we'll change it, in case he agrees to come," the dean exclaimed. Seeing Gu Juexi's back walking out, the dean assumed he probably meant he would attend.

They left the school grounds escorted by a few personnel.

Xixi was leaning on Gu Juexi's shoulder, looking exhausted.

Gu Juexi suddenly turned around and looked at Ye Yuwei. "When is your university's anniversary?"
