Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 631: Chapter 631 Asking Directions from a Stranger_1

At ten in the morning, the sky was a deep blue.

Hidden among the green trees, Zhongjing University basked in tranquility and harmony.

Along Luyin Boulevard, many young students, in groups of threes and twos, walked together.

Their faces brimmed with pure smiles, and their steps exuded the vigor and vitality of youth.

Yet to be baptized by society, they were filled with infinite desire and longing for the future.

A young man walked along the road.

Looking at his age, he seemed to be a university student as well.

He was dressed in casual attire, tall and slender with a leisurely stride. He had black hair, black eyes, and a faint smile on his face. Not exactly a fresh-faced young hunk but certainly easy on the eyes and full of vigor.

As he walked, countless elder school sisters and younger schoolmates couldn’t help but turn their gaze towards him.

An indescribable aura emanated from him. That aura, subtle yet filled with disdain and pride, attracted the attention of many women.

However, he himself was completely unaware.

”How many years has it been? Returning to campus really brings a sense of nostalgia. Although, the impression that my university life left on me was more about pain,” the young man couldn’t help but give a self-deprecating smile.

This young man was naturally Bai Xiaosheng.

He had come to scout the environment at Zhongjing University, to ”check the place out.”

Of course, this wasn’t necessary.

It was of no help for the training camp’s assessment.

His visit this time was more akin to a leisurely outing.

”I heard that Zhongjing University also has a campus history museum open to the public, with a small reading room where one can freely read books. That’s quite nice. I’d like to go there and sit for a while,” Bai Xiaosheng felt that in such an environment, things truly felt different, and his mood became instantly peaceful.

He couldn’t help but want to immerse himself in the experience.

Zhongjing University, as the number one institution in Anjiang and a national key university, had an extremely large campus.

As Bai Xiaosheng strolled along, looking at the wooden signs erected all over the campus and following the carved maps, he searched and searched but couldn’t find his destination.

But Bai Xiaosheng wasn’t in a hurry and had no wish to ask Red Lotus for navigation assistance.

He chose another, more primitive method—asking for directions.

Bai Xiaosheng glanced around and set his eyes on a female student.

She seemed a bit more mature, with an extremely good figure, described as exquisite and curvy.

However, having seen many beautiful women, Bai Xiaosheng was not too impressed.

He simply thought this beauty was just closer to him than others.

”Classmate!” Bai Xiaosheng called out with a smile, taking steps towards her.

The woman looked over in surprise, and seeing that Bai Xiaosheng was headed straight for her, she was momentarily flustered, ”Are you calling me?”

”Yes.”

Bai Xiaosheng nodded, noticing that the woman seemed quite pleased to be addressed as ”classmate.”

This made him a bit surprised.

”I’d like to ask for directions, could you please... Classmate, let me know?”

As Bai Xiaosheng approached, he realized that the woman had an aura lacking in naivety but instead carried the essence of a professional woman.

This hardly seems like a student...

Perhaps she used to be a student here, Bai Xiaosheng speculated mentally.

”Where do you want to go?” the beauty asked him with a smile, seeming quite familiar with the place.

”I heard there’s a campus history museum here with a reading room. I’d like to take a look,” Bai Xiaosheng said with a smile.

The beauty curiously looked Bai Xiaosheng up and down.

In her eyes, this man had quite a nice appearance, a sunny smile, and he also carried an air of distinctiveness.

Based on his age, he seemed to be a university student. Yet, his demeanor was more like that of someone seasoned in the corporate world, a high-ranking individual molded by experience.

The beauty was puzzled: could he be from a prominent family?

Thinking so, it made sense.

The beauty smiled and said to Bai Xiaosheng, ”The museum is quite remote, and even if I tell you how to get there, you might not find it. Anyway, since I’m heading that way, why don’t you come with me?”

That sounded good.

Bai Xiaosheng nodded and asked with a smile, ”May I know how to address you?”

At this question, the beauty smiled but didn’t answer, her eyes gleaming with a playful gleam, ”Are you really just asking for directions, or are you trying to hit on me?”

”Then I won’t ask,” Bai Xiaosheng said with a wry smile, shrugging his shoulders.

The beauty was taken aback; she had only made a joke and hadn’t expected him to take it seriously.

Since he wasn’t inquiring further, it naturally didn’t seem right for her to voluntarily offer her name, nor was it appropriate to ask for his.

And so, these two strangers, neither knowing nor asking the other’s name, walked together through the tranquil campus.

Both of them found it quite pleasant.

”The museum is just one of the many unique places at Zhongjing University. There are other spots you might want to check out, like Lake Pavilion, or under the banyan trees, which are great places to enjoy the scenery,” the beauty took the initiative to suggest to Bai Xiaosheng.

Bai Xiaosheng nodded and said with a smile, ”I’ve heard that Zhongjing University has many special little restaurants. I’m thinking of staying for lunch. Could you recommend one?”

”I wouldn’t have guessed you’re here ’driven by food’,” the beauty teased, a hint of pride on her face. ”Speaking of Zhongjing University’s delicacies, they’re second to none in Zhongjing. There are six student cafeterias and another seven or eight specialty restaurants which are even more popular. I recommend you try...”

The beauty talked on and on, her face revealing her longing.

”It’s been so long since I’ve eaten there myself; I wonder if those small restaurants have changed hands,” the beauty mused.

The pair continued chatting as they walked.

A few minutes later, the beauty halted, pointed, and said with a smile, ”Look, there’s the museum.”

Bai Xiaosheng followed her pointing and saw a low-rise building nestled among the greenery.

It indeed wasn’t easy to find.

”Thank you,” Bai Xiaosheng said, giving the beauty a smile. ”If we meet again, I’ll treat you to a meal. Goodbye for now.”

The beauty smiled sweetly and simply said, ”Goodbye.”

A chance meeting is just that, what are the odds of a reunion?

Watching Bai Xiaosheng walk away, a smile lingered on the beauty’s lips.

She hadn’t expected to bump into such an interesting man while revisiting old haunts.

Then, the beauty turned and headed toward an office building.

Walking into the office building, the beauty stopped a security guard to inquire, ”Excuse me, is Dean Huo Dong still in the office on the fifth floor?”

Once confirmed, she headed straight upstairs.

Following the layout she remembered, she found the office and knocked on the door.

”Come in.”

Inside, a calm yet incredibly familiar voice responded.

The beauty entered with a delighted smile on her face.

This office, belonging to Dean Huo Dong of the School of Economics and Management, awaited her.

The beauty pushed open the door to find him, amidst a pile of documents half a meter high on his desk, lifting his head to see her. First, he paused, then his surprise turned to joy as he rose from his seat.

”Teacher!” Feng Li said with a chuckle.

”Feng Li!” Tutor Huo Dong burst into hearty laughter.
