“They are all from out of town, just like you. They came back just for this occasion, so they obviously must arrive early.”
“That makes sense.” Lu Tian said. “Let’s go up first, I’m a little hungry.”
Lin Yi parked the car and the three of them walked toward the front door.
They were a little surprised to see three luxury cars, but after thinking about it, they realized this was normal.
Their professor was a lecturer at Yan University, so the students they trained would naturally not be bad.
Ji Qingyan might the one with the most successful career, but a large part of it was because of her family.
If she started her own business from scratch, she might not be as successful as the other students.
These were the so-called famous university students.
The three of them went upstairs together. After they got off the elevator, they found that the door to the unit was already open.
The sound of talking and laughing was coming from inside, and the atmosphere was extremely warm.
“Yo, Qingyan and Tiantian are here. We were waiting for you.”
As soon as they entered the door, they saw an old lady with white hair. She stood up and walked toward the door, welcoming the three of them in.
There were five people in the room.
Apart from Ji Qingyan’s mentor and her husband, there were two men and a woman present.
One of them was wearing glasses, a blue shirt and dark pants, and was dressed very formally.
The other one was wearing casual clothes, and wasn’t dressed very well.
The other girl, on the other hand, wasn’t as elegant as Ji Qingyan and Lu Tian.
She wasn’t even worthy of Lin Yi’s attention.
“Lin Yi, let me introduce you. This is my mentor, Zhang Minhua. This is her husband, who is also a professor at Yan University, Mr. Peng Xingguo.”
Lin Yi nodded with a smile.
“Nice to meet you, Teacher Zhang. Nice to meet you, Teacher Peng.”
“When I was chatting with Tiantian earlier, she told me that you had a handsome boyfriend. Now that I look at it, this guy is really not bad. He’s much better than those brats at Yan University.”
Ji Qingyan blushed and smiled shyly.
It filled her with joy that Lin Yi was being recognized by her elders.
“Come, come, come. Don’t stand there. The food is ready. Let’s eat first,” Peng Xingguo greeted politely.
Ji Qingyan and the other two sat at the table. The dishes were all home-cooked and there was nothing special about them.
They were the simple dishes, however, they gave off the feeling of homeliness.
Lin Yi learned the names of the other three during the meal.
The man in formal attire was called Liu Yida.
The man in casual attire was called Wang Zhihui.
The other girl was called Zheng Wenjie.
However, only Wang Zhihui and Zheng Wenjie were from the same class as Ji Qingyan and Lu Tian, as Liu Yida was their senior.
During the meal, Ji Qingyan raised her glass.
“Teacher Zhang, thank you for your nurturing of us during our university days. Without you, we would not be where we are today. I would like to propose a toast to you with tea instead of wine.”
“In my eyes, you are just like my own children. Coming here is just like you returning home. Why are you still saying this?” Zhang Shumin said with a smile.
“Now that I see that you guys are successful in your careers, I’m also filled with joy.”
“That makes sense,” Peng Xingguo said with a smile.
“But this wine doesn’t seem to have any flavor. It’s better for us to have some at a wedding banquet.”
“That’s right. Hurry up and set a date. We’re all waiting to have a wedding banquet,” Lu Tian heckled.
“Don’t talk nonsense. It’s not moving as fast as you guys say,” Ji Qingyan said shyly.
“When I was in school, I knew that Qingyan was a thin-skinned girl. I didn’t think that after working for so many years, she would still be like this,” Peng Xingguo said.
“I guess she won’t be able to change for the rest of her life,” Lu Tian said.
“I don’t think that marriage can be rushed,” Liu Yida said.
“We should all examine our prospects thoroughly before making a decision. Although I’m a man, I have to admit that there are many men who are not reliable. We can’t do something that we regret for the rest of our lives just because of a moment of impulse.”
“Senior, don’t be so sarcastic. Lin Yi is a good person,” Lu Tian said.
“I’m just talking. Please don’t take it seriously. At our level, the main thing is to consider what’s inside. The rest isn’t important.” Liu Yida said.
Lu Tian rolled her eyes at Liu Yida and whispered,
“He only knows how to play the accordion. Only a drunk would pretend to spout deep thoughts every day.”
“Tiantian, what did you just say? Are you talking about the accordion? It’s my forte, do you want me to play for you guys?” Liu Yida asked.
Lu Tian was about to refuse when Zhang Shumin said,
“You can play for me too. I haven’t heard you the accordion in a long time. The instrument is in the study, go take it out.”
“Since Teacher Zhang wants to hear it, then I’ll make a fool of myself for everyone.”
Then, Liu Yida stood up and walked toward the study.
Lin Yi looked at his disappearing back and said,
“This guy is so pretentious, and he doesn’t look fresh or refined at all. There is hardly any attention to detail about him.”
“If you want to know, he would be your rival in love. When we were in school, he was very attentive toward Ji Qingyan, but Qingyan never had any feelings for him. If it wasn’t for the fact that she couldn’t bear to leave Teacher Zhang, Qingyan would have changed classes a long time ago,” Lu Tian said in a low voice.
“Who gave him the courage to pursue my little baby Qingyan? Was it Liang Jingru?”
“Eh, this is so digusting. Little Baby Qingyan, can you two please be normal? I want to keep my appetite to eat a few more ribs.”
“Watch your language, we’re at my teacher’s house.”
Ji Qingyan pinched Lin Yi’s waist. “It wouldn’t be good if Zhang and Peng heard us.”
“Alright, I’ll call you that when I get home.”
Ji Qingyan didn’t say anything, because she thought that the nickname ‘Little Baby Qingyan’ sounded pretty good.
At that thought, Ji Qingyan’s face turned even redder.
She was a little embarrassed.
Just as the three of them were whispering, Liu Yida brought out the accordion.
“Yida, play ‘Lake Baikal ‘for me. I can’t play this song well, so I can learn from you,” Peng Xingguo said humbly.
Peng Xingguo and Zhang Shumin were both accordion lovers, but their skill levels weren’t high. They usually played by themselves at home.
Now that Liu Yida was here, they naturally had to listen to him play a tune.
“Teacher Peng, you’re too modest. How would I dare to show off in front of you?”
“You think I don’t know how good you are? Don’t be so polite. Hurry up and play a tune for me. It’ll be good for everyone’s entertainment.”
“Then I won’t hold back. Let me show you guys something.” Liu Yida said.
Liu Yida picked up the accordion and started playing Lake Baikal at Peng Xingguo’s request. He looked pleased with himself, and appeared extremely pretentious.
What Lin Yi didn’t expect, however, was that something even more pretentious was still to come.
Liu Yida started to sing by himself.
The pronunciation was a bit f*cked up, but it was still pretty good.
Liu Yida finished the song, and Peng Xingguo and Zhang Shumin took the lead to applaud.
“Not only did your level not drop, it seems like you’ve improved a lot. Your Teacher Zhang and I practice at home every now and then, but your level has not diminished at all. As you get older, we won’t be able to learn as fast as you guys.”
How could you say ‘okay’ when you’re acting like this?
