Chapter 25: Yearning Is Useless

“I don’t study economics.” Jiang Yi’s expression was indifferent.

It was no longer a secret that she was engaged to Fu Xiting, but she still did not hide her dislike for him.

“I forgot. I’m sorry.” Zuo Fei’s tone was apologetic, but Jiang Yi didn’t really understand this apology.

She stopped and looked at Zuo Fei. “You’re talking about the rumors about us, right?”

Zuo Fei was stunned. “Yes.”

“Then stay away from me! I don’t want to be harmed by rumors again.” Jiang Yi didn’t want to hear words like “I don’t care about others’ opinions”. Even if one really didn’t care about others’ opinions in this world, those rumors would still bring her trouble.

After saying that, Jiang Yi left. Zuo Fei grabbed her arm.

“I said those words to protect you in the past.” The boy’s tone was anxious, and there was a hint of nervousness on his face, afraid that it would affect their relationship.

A handsome young man and a beautiful woman. What an amazing scene!

However, Guan Qing felt that this scene was so beautiful that he did not dare to look at it. Tomorrow, Chairman Fu will be giving a speech at Capital University. He should have come to see the speech venue in advance, but because he did not have time himself, this job fell on him. Coincidentally, the male and female leads had not changed. The two of them were even pulling each other.

Jiang Yi watched as the car with the number plate 03456 flashed past her. She sighed slightly and turned to look at Zuo Fei. “Let go of me first.”

“If someone saw us pulling each other, we would spend a lot of time explaining it.”

“I’m sorry.” Zuo Fei awkwardly retracted his hand.

As the two of them walked side by side, there were people pointing at them from time to time. Some even took photos with their phones and uploaded them to the school forum.

Jiang Yi didn’t need to look to know that there wouldn’t be anything good to say.

“What’s your major?”

“What?” Zuo Fei was stunned. She was a little confused by Jiang Yi’s question. Which major? Didn’t she know?

“What’s your major?” Jiang Yi asked again.

“I… Law.”

“Oh…” Jiang Yi nodded and did not say anything else.

“Student Jiang.” Jiang Yi and Zuo Fei walked past the boulevard when they were suddenly stopped by someone. She turned her head to look.

Lin Bo stood at the side, looking like he was waiting for her.

“You called me?” Jiang Yi was puzzled.

“Yes.” Lin Bo nodded slowly.

“I left my textbook in the office building. I was wondering if you could pick it up for me?”

“Of course.” Jiang Yi agreed happily. She was worried that she would not have the chance to meet Lin Bo, but this opportunity was given to her for nothing.

Lin Bo nodded slowly and said gently, “Thank you. Building 2, 2013. You’ll know when you go in and ask.”

Jiang Yi turned around and left without thinking.

Lin Bo had always lived on the university campus. For so many years, the office was only where he occasionally worked.

A few years ago, she had heard him mention that he did not need an office. However, the school leaders highly respected him because he had nurtured many pillars of the country. Occasionally, he would need a place to receive people, so they assigned him an office.

Jiang Yi knew about this.

In fact, she was very familiar with it.

However, when she walked in with ease today, she happened to bump into him at the principal’s office next door.

The two of them bumped into each other.

Guan Qing’s thin lips moved slightly. Just as he was about to say something, Jiang Yi glanced at him indifferently and turned to leave in disdain.

She looked as if she had seen something dirty.

It made Guan Qing fall into deep self-doubt.

Jiang Yi rushed into the office at an extremely fast speed. His energetic appearance made Guan Qing click his tongue.

In the classroom, Lin Bo had already started class and was chatting with the students.

When he saw Jiang Yi bring the textbook over, he reached out to take it and thanked him.

During this class, Jiang Yiwas distracted.

She was not present in class. At this moment, she was thinking about how to create a chance encounter with Lin Bo later.

Or rather, how could she get to Lin Bo’s door and walk the path that she had not completed in her previous life?

“Jiang Yi, please help the students answer their questions.”

“What?” Jiang Yi suddenly stood up and looked at the podium.

Lin Bo was gentle, and he did not blame her for being absent-minded in class. On the contrary, he looked at the blackboard and smiled as he recited the question. “What is the highest skill of a politician?”

Jiang Yi looked at Lin Bo and slowly said, “Caution.”

“Where did that come from?”

“From Peace and War: Theory of International Relations.”

The two of them asked and answered almost at the same time.

“Have you read this book?”

Jiang Yi nodded. “Yes.”

“I got to know you better after the last class. From a professional point of view, your major is art. You also entered the college entrance examination through art. Why are you suddenly interested in international relations?”

Lin Bo seemed to have a lot of doubts about Jiang Yi.

This doubt could only be answered by her.

Perhaps he was afraid that Jiang Yi wouldn’t answer the question in private, so he asked her directly in class.

“Because I want to be a true realist, not an ant living in a haze. I want to see the clearest sun, not a moon draped in gorgeous gauze. I want to know how heavy the rainstorm is, and I don’t just want to see the rainbow after the rain.”

The international negotiator was the one who faced all of this head-on.

He was the person who stood in the bloody reality and looked at the world.

Jiang Yi’s aura made the classroom fall silent.

Her steady words and tone made her sound very credible.

As for Lin Bo, there was a hint of disappointment in his eyes because of Jiang Yi’s answer.

However, after the disappointment, there were countless conflicts.

The silence was too long.

Lin Bo nodded and invited her to sit down.

There was nothing else.

Jiang Yixin was a little flustered.

In her previous life, she had already been taken in by Lin Bo after the first lesson. Today, the second lesson had passed.

The class ended.

Jiang Yi packed her things and prepared to leave.

She was stopped by Jiang Si, who had approached her after hearing the news.

In the classroom, most of the students had left, while Jiang Si stood in the first row and looked at Jiang Yi, who was in the last row.

“Why didn’t I know that you were interested in international relations? Are you Jiang Yi?”

Jiang Si’s words made some of the people who were about to leave stop to watch the drama.

Jiang Yi did not stop packing. She smiled. “If I’m not Jiang Yi, am I your mother?”

“You…”

“I’m talking to you nicely. Do you have to be so unreasonable?”

After Jiang Yi finished packing, she stood in the last row with her bag in one hand and stared at Jiang Si. “Then you’re really pitiful. You’ve lived for more than 20 years, but you still don’t know what it means to talk nicely. Can you let your mother send you back to kindergarten to relearn it?”
