Su Wenxiu trembled but comforted himself, thinking he might have misheard. Although he froze, Su Binglan assured him he had not misheard the voice.

‘So I wasn’t hallucinating, after all.’

Su Binglan found her brother’s expression amusing. She even noticed him blushing and could tell he cared. She said, “Wenxiu, a girl is looking at you with wide eyes. I think she’s about to cry. My heart is melting.”

Su Binglan deliberately sighed as she spoke.

Suddenly, Su Wenxiu turned and saw Zi Die looking at him happily. His heart even skipped a beat as Zi Die said, “Welcome back, Professor.”

The girl was straightforward. Her heart pounded the moment she saw Su

Wenxiu. She was pleased to know that he had returned. Zi Die was carefree, and her eyes were bright enough to light up Su Wenxiu’s heart like the sun.

Su Wenxiu sighed in relief and gently said, “Thank you.”

Zi Die only looked at him and no one else, saying, “You haven’t eaten yet, right, Professor? Would it be okay if I treated you to a meal?”

Su Wenxiu’s heart softened when he saw the look in her eyes. As he looked aside and was about to say something to Su Binglan, he realized she was no longer there. He looked around but could not see his sister anywhere.

“What are you looking for, Professor?”

“H-Have you seen my sister?”

Zi Die was stunned as she looked around. She did not notice anyone else when she saw Su Wenxiu. After all, she was too excited about his return.

At that moment, a voice sounded in his mind, “Have lunch with her. I’ll go home first.’

Su Binglan had used her Soul Powers to transmit her voice so only Su Wenxiu could hear it. He knew his sister had special powers but felt helpless at that moment. He asked, “You haven’t had lunch yet, Zi Die?”

Su Wenxiu did not notice his voice becoming softer and gentler whenever he spoke to the girl. He sounded charming and attractive.

Zi Die liked hearing Su Wenxiu’s voice. The students would sometimes gossip about how delightful he sounded.

Zi Die shook her head and said, “Not yet. I just bought some paper and was about to continue shopping before eating. I didn’t expect to see you here, so I decided to invite you to lunch.”

She still felt a little restrained when she spoke to Su Wenxiu. She would pinch the sides of her school uniform as a nervous tick. She had mustered all her courage to invite him to lunch.

However, Su Wenxiu noticed her nervous ticks. He could not help but think of his younger days as he looked at her. His heart softened as he said, “How can a student treat their professor to a meal? Come on, I’ll treat you instead.” Zi Die was stunned as she raised her gaze and stared at Su Wenxiu blankly. ‘Did I mishear him? H-He said he’d treat me to a meal instead?”

Su Wenxiu found her dazed expression adorable. He could not help but want to pat her head. After realizing his thoughts, he raised his brows and asked, “Don’t you want to?”

“N-No, that’s not it.” Zi Die quickly regained her senses and shook her head.

“I’m just excited, that’s all.”

“What would you like to eat?” Su Wenxiu asked gently.

“l…don’t have any diet restrictions,” Zi Die said, “What about you, Professor?”

“l don’t, either, but there seems to be so many new shops around here. There

should be plenty of options, right?” Since Su Wenxiu had not been around lately, he did not know what kind of delicacies were available in the newly opened shops.

“Have you heard of any good restaurants recently?” he asked.

“There’s a noodle shop nearby. I heard the food there is delicious. Do you like noodles, Professor?” Zi Die enjoyed eating noodles, especially with pickled fish. She had eaten it once and thought it was delicious, so she wanted to bring Su Wenxiu along.

Su Wenxiu had eaten plenty of noodles at home and even knew how to make them himself. He looked at Zi Die’s cautious expression and said, “Then let’s have some noodles.’

“All right!

Su Wenxiu deliberately slowed his pace so Zi Die could keep up. She gripped the hem of her skirt and thought for a moment before saying, “Professor, that day…”

“Hmm?”

“Umm, did l…” Zi Die took a deep breath to muster her courage and then asked, “Did 1 scare you with what I told you the other day?”

‘l wasn’t frightened or anything. 1 just thought it was sudden,’ Su Wenxiu thought. After all, he never expected someone like Zi Die to have such thoughts about him.

He noticed her uneasiness and smiled, saying, “No, it’s okay. Don’t overthink it, okay? I just think you’re young, that’s all.”

Zi Die felt relieved that she had not scared Su Wenxiu. She asked, “Didn’t you leave for a while to avoid me?”

“No, not at all. Doctor Yang had some matters to tend to in her home village, so my sister and I went with her.” Since he understood how sensitive and fragile a youth like Zi Die could be, he wanted to protect her heart.

Zi Die smiled when she heard that. She smiled, saying, “l believe you,

Professor. You never lie, do you?”

“How would you know that?” Su Wenxiu thought her words were funny. He could not help but feel relaxed around her. She had him feel like he had returned to his youth, even though he was almost in his twenties.

“l just know.” Zi Die instinctively trusted Su Wenxiu. She felt he possessed an otherworldly aura. It was not that he did not know how to lie, but he disdained it.

The duo chatted as they approached the food street. Su Wenxiu saw a spacious and bright street as they walked past the many factories. There were also road signs, carriages, and passers-by around.

Zi Die knew Su Wenxiu had not been around for a month. She noticed the confusion in his eyes and explained, “People started renting these shops a month ago. They sell all kinds of things here.

“This new road connects Su Teng Village and Tenghe Town. It’s spacious and beautiful, isn’t it? Many people enjoy shopping and eating here..”
