Phi-Fic Chapter 170 begins a new chapter!
Chapter 170 begins a new chapter!
The man was wearing a bespoke black suit, with all the buttons fastened at the front.
It accentuates a great figure with broad shoulders and a narrow waist.
He wore a white shirt underneath, with a black tie tied below the collar.
The hair was neatly placed in its proper position.
The hand holding the microphone revealed a black watch and a silver bracelet on the wrist.
The slender fingers were adorned with silver-white rings.
Jiang Wan's breath caught in her throat as her cold, phoenix-like eyes swept across the audience.
He looks absolutely stunning today!
The audience erupted in excitement, with those who recognized Shang Shixu enthusiastically explaining the science to those who didn't.
On the podium, the principal spoke into the microphone to maintain order.
"Quiet!"
"Quiet down!"
"Let's invite Mr. Shang Shixu to give his acceptance speech on the donation!"
This time, the applause in the auditorium was even louder than before.
Jiang Wan stared intently at the tall figure on the stage.
A deep male voice echoed through the auditorium via microphone.
"Hello everyone, my name is Shang Shixu."
"The reason for donating a building is very simple."
"Because of my girlfriend—Jiang Wan."
As soon as he finished speaking, the auditorium fell silent for a moment, then a collective gasp filled the air.
The school leaders and professors in the front row all turned around to look.
Jiang Wan sat there, feeling the burning gazes of countless eyes around her, and she felt numb.
The auditorium was cool and spacious, but she was the only one there, as if she were in a sauna.
Jiang Wan could only keep her posture upright and stare straight ahead at the podium.
The sounds of the commercial timeline continue.
"This building is called 'Evening Departure Building,' and it was a gift I gave her to celebrate our 100th day together."
"This is also dedicated to S University, to thank the school for nurturing such an outstanding student."
Finally, I want to say to her—
The entire room fell silent.
Jiang Wan subconsciously held her breath and made eye contact with the person on stage.
A man's pleasant voice slowly rose into the air.
Happy 100th day, Jiang Wan.
......
The applause in the auditorium could lift the roof off.
The cheers of men and women mingled together.
The lollipop in Zhou Feiyan's mouth had long since fallen to the ground.
He grabbed Jiang Wan's arm excitedly, rambling incoherently.
Wang Yurong covered her mouth, curled up her arms and legs, and her face was practically splitting with laughter.
Li Zhile pushed her back, stuck her head out, and shouted at the top of her lungs amidst the clamor of the crowd.
"Wanwan, your boyfriend is amazing!!!"
Jiang Wan did not respond.
She watched the figure walking backstage, then got up and chased after it.
Countless people cheered and jumped for joy.
A bustling crowd witnessed a love story.
*
Backstage.
Jiang Wan had a lot to say to him.
However, as soon as he chased into the lounge, he was shoved against the door by Shang Shixu.
"elder brother--"
The sound stopped abruptly.
The man pressed his index finger against her lips.
"Let's kiss for a bit and then talk."
He unbuttoned his suit jacket with one hand and loosened his tie.
He bent down and replaced his fingers with his lips.
Their lingering kisses, like countless red threads, bound them tightly together.
After a deep kiss.
Shang Shixu picked her up and sat her in the chair.
Let's chat.
Jiang Wan was a little confused.
"I forgot what I was going to say."
"Fool."
"You're the idiot! I remember now!"
"What?"
"No more such grand events in the future!"
"Awkward?"
"Yes, so many people are watching."
Shang Shixu stared into her eyes.
"Okay, then tell me first, do you like this gift?"
Jiang Wan nodded obediently, "I like it."
Shang Shixu revealed a satisfied smile.
……
With the 100-day anniversary over, the day Jiang Wan was to leave the country was drawing ever closer.
On September 30th, the morning air in Haicheng was slightly chilly.
Today is the day she leaves the country.
Sunlight streamed in from the outdoor balcony, falling on Jiang Wan's open suitcase.
She squatted down, folded the last few pieces of clothing, put them inside, and zipped them up.
Zhou Feiyan sat in the chair, hugging her legs and staring at her.
"Is everything packed?"
"alright."
After Jiang Wan finished speaking, Zhou Feiyan wanted to say something, but when she opened her mouth, she didn't know what else to say.
She has said everything she wanted to say in the past few days.
Wang Yurong walked over and hugged Jiang Wan, gently telling her, "Be careful outside."
Jiang Wan patted her on the back, "Don't worry, I will."
Wang Yurong released her grip and took a step back.
Li Zhile picked up a bag of snacks from the table and handed it to Jiang Wan, saying, "Here, a little treat for the road."
Jiang Wan smiled as she looked at the large bag of things.
"There are too many, I can't carry them all."
"Then pick a few that you like to eat."
"Okay~"
Jiang Wan symbolically took two items and stuffed them into her bag.
With the three of them insisting, Jiang Wan was escorted all the way to the school gate.
Shang Shixu's car was parked there.
He stood outside the car door and looked at them.
Zhou Feiyan rallied her spirits, "Alright, that's all we can do for you."
Jiang Wan looked at her three roommates.
"I sent a message in the group after I landed."
The three nodded.
"Then I'm leaving."
Jiang got into the car that evening, rolled down the window, and waved to the outside again.
"Let's go back."
The three men forced a smile that looked more like a grimace and waved at her.
Jiang Wan's eyes were sore and swollen.
The car turned onto the main road, and the three figures quickly disappeared from sight.
She rolled up the car window, and her sore eyes finally broke into red.
Shang Shixu reached out and pulled her onto his lap, gently patting her back.
"If you want to cry, then cry."
"Don't cry, I'm wearing makeup today."
Jiang Wan blinked hard, trying to force back her tears.
Shang Shixu was amused by her appearance and wanted to laugh.
He did laugh.
Jiang Wan stopped blinking and scolded him playfully.
"I'm already feeling so bad, and you're still laughing at me."
"I'm laughing at how cute you are."
"Tch, you're the one laughing at me for being ridiculous."
"You said it yourself, I didn't."
Seeing his carefree expression, Jiang Wan was so angry that she gritted her teeth and pinched his abs through his shirt with her left hand.
She couldn't squeeze it hard, but she did use force.
The man's expression changed, and Jiang Wan sensed danger.
Just as I was about to get off him, he grabbed my left hand and pulled it under my shirt...
Feeling the touch of her palm, Jiang Wan's face quickly flushed, and all the sadness in her heart vanished.
She abruptly pulled her hand away, nimbly sat back in her seat, and used drinking water to mask the chaos.
A man's mocking voice came from the side.
"Little coward."
Jiang Wan didn't retort.
She admitted that she is still a little reserved about this aspect.
......
11 o'clock noon.
When Jiang Wan arrived at the airport, she learned that Shang Shixu was going to take her directly to her destination.
To be precise, I'll come back after I've settled her in.
What was originally a lonely journey became much more pleasant for Jiang Wan after he joined her.
The negative emotions are gone, leaving only the anticipation of a new life.
After landing.
Under his guidance, Jiang Wan met the bodyguard, saw the apartment, and completed the enrollment procedures.
After settling everything, Shang Shixu boarded a plane back to China.
In a foreign land, Jiang Wan had no time to be sad.
Because new challenges have begun.
She started to get busy.
I'm even busier than I am back home.
By the end of October, Jiang Wan had finally finished the biography and handed it over to her employer.
I successfully received the final payment of 40,000 yuan.
From then on, she stopped taking on any part-time jobs and focused all her energy on her studies and research projects.
Shang Shixu flies over every month to spend two days with her.
Life is fulfilling and full of hope.
In the blink of an eye, Jiang Wan has been living in Edinburgh for nearly three months.
Today is February 12.
Tomorrow is Scotland's most important festival of the year.
Edinburgh has a three-day holiday.
At 8 p.m., Jiang Wan came out of the library with her backpack on.
I had only taken two steps when I caught a glimpse of a tall figure standing under the streetlight.
The man was wearing a black overcoat and a blue scarf she had bought for him.
His smoky gray eyes stared intently at her.
Jiang Wan's eyes lit up, and just as she was about to walk towards him, she saw two unfamiliar foreign girls who were traveling with her stop in front of him.
Jiang Wan's smile vanished.
She ran and shouted.
"Brother~"
She threw down her schoolbag and leaped into his arms.
Business timing can be predicted in advance.
He bypassed the people blocking his way, caught her steadily, and picked her up.
The two girls who had tried to strike up a conversation quickly ran away in embarrassment.
Jiang Wan wrapped her arms around his neck.
"Does my brother miss me?"
Shang Shixu leaned in and rubbed his nose against hers, his warm, moist breath hitting her lips.
"It's more than just thinking about it?"
"I miss it terribly."
Jiang Wan's lips curled up.
After he finished speaking, he put one arm around her, picked up her schoolbag from the ground, hung it on his shoulder, and walked towards the parking lot.
"Where are we going?"
"To the airport."
"what?"
Jiang Wan looked completely bewildered.
"Di Wenjun and Tao Mengshu will get married the day after tomorrow."
"What? How come I didn't know?!"
The man's voice was tinged with laughter.
"I asked them to keep it from you, just to scare you."
Jiang Wan: ...
really interesting.
Jiang Wan angrily pulled his ear.
The two boarded a plane back home as quickly as possible.
Jiang Wan never expected this.
This trip back to China brought her more than just her friend's wedding...
