Chapter 26 (2/2)

Anhao rested her chin on her palm, her expression was bitter. She did not know how to answer Chunchun’s questions, and did not know how to handle the situation she was about to face.

An hour later, Anhao walked out of the lecture hall.

Yi Zeyang was not a full-time lecturer at A High so his office was at a spare office which was on the same floor as the principal’s office.

When Anhao arrived at the office entrance, she did not see Yi Zeyang anywhere in the office.

He should be having lunch with the other deans of the school at the moment so she wanted to leave and return in the afternoon.

When she turned around, she was surprised to see that Yi Zeyang was already at the entrance. With a clearly shocked face, she staggered two steps backward.

Despite seeing Anhao who looked like she had just gotten the shock of her life, Yi Zeyang was unperturbed. Without saying a word, he went straight into the office.

Anhao stood frozen at the entrance as she looked at his back which was facing her. She watched him put down some documents on the office table, and she did not know whether to enter or not, but she then heard him say, “Enter.”

“…”

She could only summon all her courage and enter. She walked until she was two meters behind him and stood there.

When the man in front of her turned around, Anhao hung her head low. She did not know how to face this person who she was reunited with after five years under such circumstances.

“Ms. Anhao, is there something on the ground that has caught your attention?”

Yi Zeyang’s voice was mixed with slight amusement.

Anhao realized that she had been looking down all this while so she quickly looked up. She saw that Yi Zeyang’s gaze had a glimmer of warmth but she felt a tinge of bitterness in her heart as she bit her lips subconsciously. She was speechless, and after a while she spoke with a soft voice, “M-Mr. Yi…”

Yi Zeyang held back his amusement. “What did you call me?”

Anhao’s hands were behind her, and her fingers were laced together as she was feeling a bit tensed up. “Mr. Yi…”

Seeing Yi Zeyang’s gaze slowly turn cold, Anhao quickly said, “I’m sorry about today, I wasn’t planning on interrupting your speech, but my bestie and I are used to messing around, and we didn’t realize that we had crossed the line, I hope you don’t mind…”

Seeing that she was still as stubborn as a mule, Yi Zeyang glanced at her short hair and decided not to push her any further. “Have you eaten lunch yet?”

“I’m not hungry.”

Yi Zeyang did not mind her indirect rejection. He fetched his car keys on his office desk and walked out.

“Let’s go get you some food first.”

Anhao was rooted to the ground. “No, I’m really not hungry. If you don’t have anything else to say I’m going to leave now, my classmates are still waiting for me.”

Yi Zeyang stopped in his tracks, he glanced sideways and shot her a look. “We haven’t seen each other for five years and this is how you want to act and speak when with me?”

Anhao looked down. “Then, how should I speak to you?”

Yi Zeyang seemed to understand her stubbornness all too well so he sighed. “Then, think of this as you accompanying me for lunch? Okay?”

“…”

“I’ve been overseas for five years, and I’ve just returned less than half a year ago, places with big changes in A City are so unfamiliar to me. If you don’t plan on introducing me to a good place with good food, I’ll just have to bring you to your school cafeteria.”

Anhao could only obediently follow him. “If that’s the case, let’s get some crayfish. There’s one opposite the school, it just opened not long ago, and it has quite a good environment too!”
