Finally managed to dismiss the journalists.
Lin Shumo and Huo Fanjin, these two capital kids, could go straight home. Fang Canyang had to transfer to another terminal to return to Huzhou; Ling Xuan was flying to Linhuai.
In the end, only Jiang Fuyue stayed behind.
Because two days later, she had to fly to Country E to participate in the International Olympiad in Informatics (IOI).
Before parting, Yan Zhenfeng didn’t forget to remind her, “Rest well and gather your energy.”
“Mm.”
“The admission notice, I’ll make sure the academic affairs office delivers it to your school before September.”
When Yan Zhenfeng said this, he didn’t think Jiang Fuyue would refuse.
After all, this was Q University, one of the top universities in Huaxia, and well-known internationally.
Would anyone refuse?
NO, never.
Jiang Fuyue smiled slightly in response but did not reply.
Yan Zhenfeng didn’t think much of it either and added, “Good luck with IOI, hope you bring home another gold medal.” Then, he left with his luggage.
Although he said that, deep down he wasn’t convinced: even if someone is exceptionally intelligent, they can’t excel in everything. Jiang Fuyue’s natural talent in physics is already astonishing, as for informatics…
It’s just for fun, participation is what matters. Whether she wins an award or not doesn’t matter.
Anyway, her place at Q University is secure now that physics is stable. Whether she participates in the informatics competition or not makes no difference.
If he were Jiang Fuyue, instead of wasting time, he would concentrate on practicing more physics problems.
These kids these days…
As the saying goes, too flighty! They don’t know what “focus” means.
Putting on a duckbill cap, Jiang Fuyue went out to the airport to wait for her ride.
However, she saw a long line of taxis waiting at the pick-up area, stretching all the way to the other exit.
She gave up on waiting for a taxi and took out her phone to book a ride.
Suddenly, a water jet rushed over. Jiang Fuyue managed to dodge in time, but her pants legs were soaked halfway.
Those who didn’t manage to dodge were even worse off—
“D*mn! What’s wrong with this water truck? It’s crazy to spray water when people are around!”
“My whole body is wet. How am I supposed to board the plane?”
“Dear, let me accompany you to change.”
“My makeup is ruined…”
“Then touch it up.”
“This driver must be doing it on purpose! So unethical!”
Jiang Fuyue was debating whether to go back and find a restroom to change her pants.
Just then, a black Bentley glided to a stop in front of her. The rear window rolled down, revealing Zhong Ziang’s smiling face with Xie Dingyuan inside.
“Get in, I’ll give you a ride. It’s not a good time to hail a taxi now, and the route to the entrance is blocked, so the ride-hailing cars can’t pick up orders.”
Jiang Fuyue raised an eyebrow and glanced inside nonchalantly.
Zhong Ziang sensed her hesitation and lowered his voice, “Don’t worry, my uncle has approved it.”
Jiang Fuyue thought for a moment. It was indeed difficult to hail a taxi at this hour, and the time she agreed upon with Fan Ye and the others was approaching. So, without further hesitation, she opened the passenger door and got in.
The driver nodded politely to her.
Jiang Fuyue fastened her seatbelt. The car was well air-conditioned, and she was sitting right in front of the vent. The wet fabric on her legs felt icy cold.
She couldn’t help but frown.
“Cough cough…” Suddenly, Xie Dingyuan, who had been looking out the window, coughed twice into his fist.
The driver subconsciously glanced at the rearview mirror.
Xie Dingyuan turned back and instructed, “It’s a bit chilly, turn off the air conditioning.”
The sweaty driver hesitated, “…Okay.”
Chilly?
The thought made Jiang Fuyue’s brows twitch. She subconsciously glanced at the rearview mirror and saw the man turn back to the window, his profile cool and distant, seemingly lost in thought.
Well, turning off the air conditioning was just right, at least it wouldn’t be so uncomfortable.
Suddenly, Zhong Ziang spoke up—
“Aren’t you going back to Linhuai?”
“Not for the moment.”
“Then let me take you around! You haven’t visited the Great Wall, the Forbidden City, and those places, right?”
Indeed, she hadn’t in her whole life.
“Let me tell you, the capital is my turf. I know this place inside out! I can walk to Wangfujing with my eyes closed.”
Xie Dingyuan’s mouth twitched. Are you trying to show off?
Zhong Ziang continued, “And I’m super skilled at taking photos, guaranteed to make you look tall and thin! Ahem… of course, you’re already quite tall. What do you say, want to go together?”
“Thank you. Let’s talk about it when there’s another opportunity.”
Zhong Ziang was taken aback for a moment, then realized belatedly, “Do you have plans?”
“I’m flying to Country E the day after tomorrow for the informatics competition.”
“…” The future wife is about to shine again, I’m a bit nervous.
The car was originally heading towards Q University, but Jiang Fuyue asked to stop when they passed by B University.
“Here is fine, thank you.” With that, she pushed the door open and got out of the car.
The Bentley drove off, and she turned and walked into the school gate.
Inside the car.
Zhong Ziang loosened his collar, “It’s not… why is it so hot? Little Wang, turn on the air conditioning.”
The driver didn’t immediately comply. Instead, he glanced at the rearview mirror, meeting the tacit approval of his employer, before he dared to turn on the air conditioning.
Indeed, it’s quite… hot.
“Aren’t you hot, Uncle?” Zhong Ziang scanned his meticulous suit and buttoned shirt.
Just looking at it makes me feel hot.
“Not really.”
Zhong Ziang glanced at the sweat on his forehead: I don’t believe you!
Are you blind?
He didn’t know why he turned off the air conditioning earlier…
Forget it, there are plenty of things he doesn’t know about his Uncle.
