She suddenly fell silent, and it was then that Fu Yan shi met her gaze.

"Well, are you questioning your own abilities"

"Thank you, Mr. Fu, for your trust. I will do my best."

Xu Qinghuan, since she couldn't figure it out, stopped thinking about it. If she couldn't see through it, she simply wouldn't look any further! Now that the opportunity was right in front of her, no matter what his purpose was, it would ultimately be beneficial for her.

If this project goes smoothly, not only will I be able to repay Fu Yan's money within a year, but I won't have to worry about my mother's medical expenses in the future either.

"Stop at the Jing'an Road intersection."

Suddenly, Fu Yan spoke up. The driver immediately nodded and found a spot to pull over.

Xu Qinghuan only then realized they had arrived near their alma mater.

"Want to go for a walk"

Fu Yan raised an eyebrow.

She nodded. "Okay."

Actually, Xu Qinghuan didn't have many memories of her junior high school days. Fu Yan was truly the most distinct memory! Walking down the road in front of the school again, she felt a little sentimental and took out her phone to take a picture. Then, she carefully saved it into her cloud photo album.

"Do you still play basketball"

Seeing the school's newly built playground, she remembered Fu Yan at that time again.

Other boys would come back from playing basketball smelling sweaty, but not him. Even if it meant missing class time, he'd run to the public bathroom in the dorm building to take a shower.

Back then, I was young and didn't realize he had obsessive-compulsive disorder about cleanliness. As a result, there were a few times when I accidentally stained his school uniform.

"Occasionally, he still hits." Fu Yan walked on her outside, his tall frame blocking part of the moonlight and casting a shadow over her.

Suddenly, Xu Qinghuan saw the fast food restaurant across from the school gate!

It's actually still open! I used to work there in middle school. The boss was a couple from Northeast China, always smiling broadly.

Every time she finished evening self-study, fortunately this shop was still open, giving her the chance to enjoy the only meal of the day she could sit down and savor.

"I want to go see it!"

After she finished speaking, she didn't wait for Fu Yanshi to respond and quickly ran in that direction.

To Xu Qinghuan's even greater surprise, the boss hadn't changed either! It was still that same couple! At this moment, they were wiping the floor inside, seemingly preparing to end their business for the day.

"Could I please have another bowl of hot noodle soup"

She hesitated for a moment, then walked over and spoke.

If I miss this chance, I don't know when I'll be back in Kyoto again.

"Alright, just wait there for a moment," the proprietress said, pointing to an empty seat. Just as she was about to go get cutlery for her, she suddenly stopped and stared, "Hey You look so familiar!"

Xu Qinghuan narrowed her eyes and smiled, "I'm Xu Qinghuan. I even helped out here back when I was in middle school."

"Oh! You're that little girl! I told you I felt like I knew you!" The proprietress was warm and friendly, immediately striking up a conversation as she stood beside me. "You should be graduating from university now, right!"

It has been many years since we graduated.

"You're even prettier than before! Back then, I told my old man, you were sure to be a beauty. Look, see You owe me one!"

Xu Qinghuan smiled. She liked their intimate vibe, even after so many years apart, they still felt close.

"You're closing up so early now I remember back then, you guys weren't you supposed to wait until the junior high students finished their evening classes"

"We've always closed up shop at nightfall." The proprietress thought for a moment, then suddenly remembered something. "Oh, right! You came in back then because there was this very tall and handsome young man who gave us some money, so we could stay open until ten o'clock every night."s were running high and her words might have been a bit too harsh, she quickly composed herself, letting out an air of resignation. "Sigh, I've said what needed to be said. This time, Xu Qinghuan's le...
