Chapter 15-Don't You Remember Me?

Professor Wang was terribly surprised to hear her words and said, "Oh? You're done with your graduation thesis so quickly? There are so many students who haven't even started yet! You really deserve your top scholar title! Hehe, Xiao Xi, you're really the student that I appreciate most during my teaching career." Yun Muxi smiled softly and said, "It's because Professor Wang teaches well." And then she handed the thesis and said, "Professor, this is my thesis. Could you please spare your time to help me with it?" Professor Wang took the thesis and looked at Yun Muxi with gratification. "Xiao Xi, what will you do after graduation? Now, the school is discussing who can retain to work in the college. Are you willing to work here, or to pursue further education?" Yun Muxi smiled gently and replied, "I don't have such plans temporarily for both of them. I would like to polish myself in the society for years, and then reconsider whether to pursue further study or not." In fact, a number of students yearned for staying coaching in the college, but did not have such opportunity. But for Yun Muxi, the school was eager to give the opportunity to her in order to retain talents for school. However, Yun Muxi had no wish to stay working in the college. She had Niannian, which was always her secret. If she accepted this opportunity, she was afraid that she could not keep the secret any longer, for she was unwilling to destroy the purest land in her mind. And for seeking further study, she did not have time to do it. What she must do was working, working to earn money, because she had to support both herself and Niannian. Therefore, the postgraduate study was only her dream. Maybe one day, she could reconsider this after making enough money. But the top priority for her was to earn money. Professor Wang always believed that Yun Muxi was an assertive student of thoughts. Seeing Yun Muxi showed no intention, he did not go further into the topic, but just felt it a pity. He said simply, "Put your thesis here. I'll call you after I check it." Professor Wang still felt it was a pity and could not help saying to Yun Muxi, "Anyway, I hope you can take into account the two choices--staying teaching in the college or pursuing further study. It is a rare opportunity to retain here. And the postgraduate study is the very path for you. Only by seeking advanced study can you go further in the future." Yun Muxi fully understood that Professor Wang was good for her and said gratefully, "Thank you, Professor Wang. I will consider them." ... After walking out of the office building, Yun Muxi headed directly to the school gate. Suddenly, a voice sounded behind, "Excuse me, could you tell me how to go to the Media and Communication Department?" Upon hearing it, Yun Muxi turned around. She was about to direct the way. "Eeeh! Sister Xiao Xi..."A tall and slim girl stared at Yun Muxi, surprised. Yun Muxi looked narrowly at the girl. "You're..." The tall girl wore her long chestnut-colored hair in a neat, high ponytail. Her blue eyes could reveal her mixed-blood origin. She had the exquisite makeup and well-defined face with a shiny smile which drew people to come close to her. She was about 1. 78 meters tall, slim but attractive. She wore a white T-shirt covered with a black short slim leather jacket and a pair of denim pants. Her straight and slender legs were really eye-catching. And the black ankle boots added more handsome colors to her. The tall girl looked quite disappointed and her smile fainted. She replied aggrievedly, "Don't you remember me?" The sound was so familiar that Yun Muxi searched it thoroughly in her mind. Suddenly a familiar look in her mind coincided with the girl in front. Yun Muxi exclaimed amazedly and excitedly, "Are... are you Tong Nan?" The tall girl regained a sweet smile and said with joy, "Ah! I thought you've forgotten me!" And then, she went at Yun Muxi intently, gave her a big hug, and kissed Yun Muxi's fact intimately. Yun Muxi chuckled and said, "No one can predict that, after five years, a little girl has grown into such a pretty beauty. I can't recognize you if we are just on the street. You have changed so much!" Tong Nan loosened her hands, looked at Yun Muxi up and down, and said with a smile, "How can there be? No matter how beautiful I become, I can't compare to you. But what's wrong with your big glasses? They have hidden your beauty." After saying it, Tong Nan was about to take off Yun Muxi's big glasses. Yun Muxi hastily stopped Tong Nan with her hands and said simply, "I'd better wear it." Tong Nan asked puzzledly, "Why? I remember that you are not nearsighted. Why do you wear glasses? And the glasses look so ugly!" With no more explanation, Yun Muxi diverged the topic, "Xiao Nan, why are you here?" Tong Nan took Yun Muxi's arm, beamed with delight and said, "Of course, I'm here for you! I just returned from abroad yesterday. Today, I can hardly wait to rush to your school to give you a big surprise. It's been five years since I saw you last time. I still remember that you were a senior-three student when I left. Well, is it a surprise?" Yun Muxi smiled and said, "Surprise? I think it is a shock!" Tong Nan pouted immediately and responded with displeasure, "Seeing me, you're not happy?" Yun Muxi laughed and said, "Haha...I'm only joking! Five years have passed in a flash. How time flies! How are you doing these years? Will you leave this time?" Tong Nan smiled brightly and said, "I am not going to leave this time. My parents intend to keep me stay with them in the United States, but I don't like it. Therefore, I come back by myself. I prefer to work here. You know, my parents can do nothing to me. As long as I lose my temper, they have to listen to me." Yun Muxi took one look at Tong Nan and could not help sighing again, "I haven't seen you for years, and you have changed a lot indeed. You have grown so tall and become more beautiful. There are so many and fast changes on you that I can hardly recognize you." Tong Nan said with a brilliant smile, "Hehe...your words are so pleasing! How are you getting along these years?" And then, she withdrew the smile, stared at Yun Muxi and spoke, "Well, I've heard that Papa Yun passed away two years ago." With a dejected look, Yun Muxi nodded and said, "Let's go home and talk. I'll cook something delicious for your arrival." ... They went to the supermarket happily and purchased a great many food materials before they returned to Yun Muxi's apartment. They entered the elevator. When the elevator was about to close, it reopened suddenly. A tall and handsome figure stepped in. Seeing the person, Yun Muxi was slightly surprised. It was Gong Yu, whom she hadn't seen for several days. Yun Muxi had not expected that she would come across him in the elevator.
