Lao Lu said there's an important academic lecture at the Business School today, and she should go listen to it. 。Chen Lao hammered it home, "Those who don't come will face the consequences." 。At three o'clock in the afternoon, Xu Yixue went to the Business Building. 。Xu Yixue looked at the few female classmates beside Lao Lu, and then at Li Tao beside her, trying to control the upward curve of her mouth. 。"Junior Sister, it's been a long time..." 。Li Tao leaned closer to her and whispered into her ear. 。Xu Yixue moved her lips, "Senior brother, long time no see" 。"Little sister, I passed my PhD entrance exam. Do you still remember our promise last time" An Chen asked with a meaningful look in his eyes. 。"No, that's just you saying it, I didn't agree." 。"Xu Yixue whispered back" 。Li Tao glanced at her, without speaking. 。Lu Lao seemed not to notice the interaction between the two people, his gaze fell on Li Tao, "You are Li Tao I heard from your teacher recently that you were indispensable in him winning a project." 。"Hello, Lu Lao" 。“Li Tao smiled faintly, his bearing graceful and composed. “It’s all thanks to the teacher; Li Tao wouldn't dare take credit.” 。Lu Lao looked more and more satisfied, like he was looking at his own daughter-in-law. As he picked up his teacup, he winked at Xu Yixue, who sighed helplessly. 。The doors to the academic hall swung open from the outside, revealing a figure of icy and aloof elegance standing by the threshold. Everyone turned their gaze towards that person at the door, and Xu Yixue, upon seeing the stranger, was struck with surprise 。He stood outside, elegant and graceful like a jade tree, while she inside was taken aback in surprise. Their eyes met, as if time itself had frozen, leaving only each other's presence in their gaze. 。After a long silence, no one knew who broke the eye contact first. 。"Teacher, Xicheng is late." 。Gu Xicheng stepped forward and nodded slightly to Lu Lao, his posture respectful. 。Xu Yixue calmed down and sat quietly and obediently there. 。Because of his arrival, everyone's attention was focused on him, even Li Tao, who had just told her that he would chase her if she passed the postgraduate entrance exam last time. 。"Are you Cheng Shishu" Unable to contain his excitement, Li Tao and several classmates surrounded Gu Xicheng, looking at him with admiration and worship. 。Hello was like hitting cotton with force. She pushed away the man who was supporting her,With a thud, one lost their balance, fell over, and hit their head on the table.For a fleeting moment, the world spu...
