"Grandpa, Grandma, I'm going back now." Jiang Chen didn't want to stay here any longer.
"Jiang Chen, I'll go back with you!" Lin Jingzhu naturally didn't want to miss the chance to be with Jiang Chen.
In fact, Lin Jingzhu knew that she and Jiang Chen could never return to the past. Now she had feelings, but Jiang Chen was indifferent.
"Xiao Chen, Jingzhu, why don't you two stay in Qingcheng a few more days?" Jiang Jingsheng showed a bit of enthusiasm at this moment.
"Yes, you two young people should stay here a bit longer!" Hu Yina also urged them to stay.
"Grandpa, Grandma, I have a lot of work at my company and I'm not in the mood to play around here," Jiang Chen firmly refused. He knew that if it weren't for his performance today, his grandparents wouldn't be so polite to him, even though the gifts he brought were quite valuable.
"Grandpa, Grandma, I have to start school soon; I need to leave tomorrow!" Lin Jingzhu spoke very politely.
Jiang Jingsheng and Hu Yina had no choice but to let them go. Lin Jingzhu said goodbye to others and hurriedly followed Jiang Chen out of the Jiang family home. Jiang Chen did not say goodbye to anyone else and left first.
"Jiang Chen, wait for me!" Lin Jingzhu quickly ran a few steps to catch up with Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen had no choice but to slow down. Although he wouldn't become her boyfriend, he didn't want to be too cold towards her; after all, they used to be classmates.
He hailed a taxi, and both Jiang Chen and Lin Jingzhu got in. "To the bus station!" Jiang Chen told the driver.
"Jiang Chen, are you going back to Nangang?" Lin Jingzhu asked as if she already knew the answer.
"No, I'm going to Hangcheng!" Jiang Chen changed his mind at the last minute; otherwise, Lin Jingzhu would keep trying to get close to him all the way.
"Great! I'm also heading to Hangcheng; we'll have company on the way," Lin Jingzhu said excitedly.
Oh no, if I had known, I would have gone back to Nangang. Jiang Chen had already spoken and couldn't change it now. But he was still curious, "Why are you going to Hangcheng?"
"I have a flight to Beijing the day after tomorrow; I need to start school," Lin Jingzhu replied.
"Nangang also has flights to Beijing. Why go to Hangcheng for a flight?" Jiang Chen continued asking.
"I have a roommate in Hangcheng who insists that I go back to school with her. Besides, Nangang isn't a provincial capital city; there aren't flights to Beijing every day. Coincidentally, there aren't any flights the day after tomorrow!" Lin Jingzhu explained patiently.
Oh, so that's how it is! After hearing Lin Jingzhu's explanation, Jiang Chen didn't ask anything further.
When they arrived at the bus station, Jiang Chen paid for the taxi fare and even took the initiative to buy a ticket for Lin Jingzhu to Hangcheng, which made her very happy. Although Jiang Chen was reluctant to be with Lin Jingzhu, he was already the chairman of a group company while she was still a student; buying her a ticket was only right.
After waiting in the waiting room for a while, the station staff announced that it was time for boarding. Jiang Chen and Lin Jingzhu sat together. Once the bus started moving, the cabin became relatively quiet.
The journey from Qingcheng to Hangcheng took over two hours. Qingcheng, Hangcheng, and Nangang formed a triangle shape with similar distances between them.
"By the way, Jiang Chen, what are you going to Hangcheng for?" Lin Jingzhu asked softly. Most people on the bus were resting with their eyes closed, so those who wanted to talk naturally spoke quietly.
"I'll go for a stroll at West Lake!" Jiang Chen decided on a whim to visit Hangcheng, without any specific plans in mind, so he quickly came up with the idea of exploring West Lake.
West Lake, the most famous attraction in Hangcheng, is renowned worldwide, and it was only natural for Jiang Chen to want to visit, especially since he had never been there before. Lin Jingzhu had been there once, but that was over a decade ago when she was still very young. "Sure! West Lake is definitely worth visiting. I'll accompany you tomorrow and even arrange for a tour guide!"
"Alright!" Although he wasn't particularly keen on the idea, Jiang Chen didn't refuse. After all, wandering around West Lake alone wouldn't be much fun; having two beautiful companions seemed quite appealing. The tour guide Lin Jingzhu mentioned would undoubtedly be one of her classmates. As a local from Hangcheng, she would naturally be familiar with the best routes for touring West Lake.
Upon arriving in Hangcheng, Jiang Chen took a taxi to the Xizi Hotel by West Lake to check in. Meanwhile, Lin Jingzhu took a taxi to her classmate's house. She couldn't afford to stay in such a luxurious hotel yet, especially since her luggage was already at her friend's place. It turned out she had arrived in Hangcheng earlier but had taken the opportunity to visit Qingcheng under the pretext of attending Hu Yina's birthday celebration just to see Jiang Chen.
Lin Jingzhu and Jiang Chen agreed to meet at Xizi Hotel at eight o'clock the next morning. Since Jiang Chen had already agreed to explore West Lake with her, he readily confirmed their meeting time.
The night passed quickly. Before eight o'clock the next morning, Jiang Chen had finished his breakfast and was sitting in the lobby waiting for Lin Jingzhu and her friend. Soon enough, Lin Jingzhu arrived with another girl.
"Jiang Chen, this is my classmate Zhou Xuemei. Xuemei, this is Jiang Chen, the chairman of Hua Sheng Group I mentioned last night," Lin Jingzhu introduced them.
"Hello!" Zhou Xuemei extended her hand first. "Director Jiang is quite accomplished at such a young age! No wonder my beautiful classmate speaks so highly of you!"
"Hehe, just inherited some family wealth," Jiang Chen replied as he shook her hand and returned the compliment. After all, Zhou Xuemei was indeed pretty, though slightly less so than Lin Jingzhu; she exuded a sweet and warm demeanor.
"Oh, you're quite charming with your words! Come on, let me take you both to tour West Lake," Zhou Xuemei said cheerfully.
The three of them exited the hotel; West Lake was right next door and they arrived quickly. Despite it not being a holiday, West Lake was bustling with tourists as it is a famous attraction in Hangcheng.
Although the scenery at West Lake remained unchanged from over a decade ago, Lin Jingzhu's feelings had transformed significantly, leaving her feeling quite nostalgic.
As they walked along the long embankment by West Lake, Jiang Chen suddenly spotted a familiar figure.
"Miss Yue! Long time no see!" Jiang Chen called out after that figure. Upon hearing his voice, the graceful silhouette turned around—it was none other than Yue Hui, the president of Yue Group.
"Jiang... Mr. Jiang? What are you doing here?" Yue Hui looked shocked upon seeing Jiang Chen, as if caught in a dream.
It had been several months since they last met at the Songnan Martial Arts Gathering. Yue Hui had thought that after Jiang Chen killed her fiancé, she would harbor hatred towards him; however, as time passed and months went by, not only did she not hate him—she found herself unable to forget him. Remembering that day at the Cangnan Martial Arts Gathering when Jiang Chen stood in mid-air and defeated Yan Xiaotian made her heart race and blood boil. To Yue Hui, Jiang Chen seemed like a god of war from the Nine Heavens—irresistibly attractive and deeply captivating.
Yet Yue Hui also wondered if she would ever see Jiang Chen again in this lifetime. After all, he had transcended ordinary existence; although she considered herself exceptional and once felt superior in front of him, now she felt insignificant before him—like a speck of dust that could hardly catch his attention.
