Chapter 1582 - 1564:
What puzzled Chu Ge was that Fang Zhong had no enemies. He was very kind, and during college, they all called him the nice guy. To say he had enemies, he wouldn’t believe it even if he were beaten to death.
After pondering for a moment, Chu Ge still decided to mention this matter to Jian Chunqiu.
As a result, after Jian Chunqiu heard it, his expression became very somber.
"Are you saying that in your time and space, some mysterious people, just like us, appeared?"
Jian Chunqiu repeated what Chu Ge said.
Chu Ge responded with a sound, "Although I haven’t seen them, according to the description, there should be no mistake."
He paused, "Moreover, after my friend was taken away by them, who knows what he experienced, and in the end, only a pile of bones was left."
Jian Chunqiu was silent for a long time, standing there with his hands behind his back, quietly looking out the window.
Chu Ge didn’t know what he was thinking, nor did he open his mouth to ask, just stood silently on the side waiting.
Jian Chunqiu took a deep breath, noticed that there had always been a gaze fixed on him from the side, and knew that this gaze was not from Chu Ge.
Ever since he entered the Nangong Mansion, he felt that there was always a gaze on him, but as for whom this gaze belonged to, he didn’t know.
After thinking for a while, he said to Chu Ge: "Let’s leave first. This is their family banquet, and our staying here would only remind them of Miss Man Sha’s disappearance and add to the sadness."
Chu Ge also felt it was inappropriate for them to stay, so they bid farewell to the housekeeper.
The housekeeper, seeing that he couldn’t keep them and knowing he couldn’t disturb the Old Master, had no choice but to see them off.
On the way back, Chu Ge received a call from Shen Yaoyao.
On the phone, Shen Yaoyao roared, "Damn you, Chu Ge! You actually left first by yourself! Why didn’t you wait for me?"
Chu Ge felt a bit speechless, "Weren’t you going with Nangong Yunhai? What would it be if I went with you?"
Shen Yaoyao was at a loss for words by his reply. She seemed very worried that Chu Ge would misunderstand, and quickly lowered her voice to say, "I’m actually just acting with Nangong Yunhai. There’s nothing between us!"
"This is your personal matter and has nothing to do with me."
The words Chu Ge spoke were very cold, not deliberately so, but by nature.
Jian Chunqiu saw this from the side, shook his head a bit speechlessly.
Shen Yaoyao wanted to say something more, but Chu Ge directly hung up the phone.
Finally gaining some peace, Chu Ge looked out of the car window, the street scenery quickly flashed past behind them, the world outside full of bright lights and feasting, but it couldn’t touch the loneliness in his heart.
Jian Chunqiu glanced at Chu Ge and smiled slightly, "You are very different from the Chu Ge we know."
Chu Ge looked at him sideways, but said nothing.
"When it comes to dealing with girls, although he wouldn’t refuse their requests, he has never found a true place of belonging in his heart."
Recalled Jian Chunqiu, "But you are different. During this time, I feel you are a persistent and dedicated person at heart. If I’m not mistaken, you already have someone in your heart, right?"
Chu Ge smiled, "Elder Jian, since when did you start liking gossip?"
"If you call it gossip, then so be it. But I do hope this could be the start of further communication between us."
Jian Chunqiu, while sitting in the passenger seat, said this without turning his head, so Chu Ge couldn’t fathom what these words meant.
Chu Ge did not respond, and refocused his gaze outside the window, suddenly feeling that the scenery seemed somewhat different.
How it was different, he couldn’t say, just suddenly felt a warmth silently flowing into his heart, making him feel a little less... alone.
Life moved on routinely, Jian Chunqiu always went out early and returned late, and Chu Ge didn’t know what he was busy with. Even Lin Dong and Lin Zhao went to work at the Gambling Stone Field every day, only he seemed somewhat idle.
Due to Jian Chunqiu’s suggestion, the progress in new drug development slowed down a bit, and with nothing much going on at the company, he had not been to the company these days.
Even at the school, just having Shen Yaoyao there gave him a headache, so he avoided the school as well.
This day, Chu Ge originally planned to visit the company, but before he could even leave, he received a call from the school.
The call came from the office director, due to Chu Ge not attending school recently, which didn’t comply with school regulations. If he didn’t attend classes for a week, as a part-time teacher, they would automatically let him go.
The office director, considering Chu Ge’s relationship with the Nangong Family, found it inconvenient to make a decision, so he first informed Chu Ge. If he showed up, they could pretend nothing happened, but if he didn’t, they could only follow the rules.
"I understand, thank you."
Responded Chu Ge, without committing to whether or not he would go.
After hanging up, the office director had a frustrated expression. Is he coming or not?
While entangled in his thoughts, he didn’t notice two people eavesdropping by the door, Shen Yaoyao and her new friend Lin Yuanyuan were leaning against the door, listening to something.
"Did you hear that just now?" Lin Yuanyuan asked in a low voice.
"The sound was too small, couldn’t make out."
Annoyed, Shen Yaoyao stood up, "What the hell is going on with that damn Chu Ge? He hasn’t been to school for nearly a week; doesn’t he know there are clear regulations in school?"
Lin Yuanyuan shrugged, "Hey, Shen Yaoyao, don’t call the teacher by name at school."
"What’s the big deal, I’m used to calling him that."
But she never expected that Chu Ge could actually teach at school, when she first met him...
Every time she thought back, she felt that Chu Ge was quite nerdy.
"Forget it, we can’t hear anything anyway, let’s head back."
Suggested Lin Yuanyuan.
Shen Yaoyao agreed with a sound, nothing else could be done, so they decided to leave.
After Chu Ge hung up the phone, he packed up his things. Originally intending to head to the company, he changed course and went to the school instead.
He had another reason for not wanting to go to school, aside from Shen Yaoyao being quite clingy.
The more important reason was that he often recalled the times he spent with Mu Bingtong at school recently.
The more he recalled, the more heavy-hearted he felt.
Driving to the school, Chu Ge didn’t go to find the office director, but went straight to the Taekwondo Academy.
From inside, came the sound of students training, familiar yet strange to him.
Seeing the students in their white uniforms, his heart was filled with countless thoughts.
In his mind, a playful voice suddenly sounded, "The summer vacation is coming; I want to find a place to be a coach."
"With just you? Who would need a part-timer?" Chu Ge teased.
"You’re such a blow to my confidence!" Mu Bingtong gave him an annoyed look, humming softly, "Do you look down on me? Think I can’t beat you?"
