Chapter 535 — A Familiar Campus
Years of Heartflutter · Page 2 of 2
Ms. Wang had been on her way to the cafeteria and was passing through when she saw Yang Ce and Su Ya. The two of them clearly did not look like students, so she had assumed they were outsiders and taken a closer look—but she never expected the two of them to look so familiar.
"You are...?" Ms. Wang clearly no longer had much of an impression of Su Ya and Yang Ce. After all, both of them had changed; they had matured a great deal from the childish looks they once had.
"Ms. Wang, I'm Yang Ce, and this is my girlfriend, Su Ya." Yang Ce said. "We were both your students. Do you remember?"
"Ah! Yang Ce, Su Ya!" Hearing those two names, Ms. Wang instantly recalled who they were! Weren't they the ones from that puppy-love incident that had caused such an uproar at school back then? At the time, Ms. Wang had felt some regret about it. She had even gone to see Wu Chiren about it, but as a subject teacher she naturally had no authority like a homeroom teacher's. Her pleading on behalf of Su Ya and Yang Ce had come to nothing: Yang Ce had still been given a demerit and criticized, while Su Ya had transferred away...
Actually, by today's standards, Yang Ce and Su Ya's case did not amount to much. With the progress of the times, people's thinking had opened up a great deal. Many students nowadays showed signs of puppy love too, but as long as it was properly guided, did not affect their studies, and did not lead them to do anything foolish, then teachers could hardly interfere too much.
"Heh heh, Ms. Wang, we were just revisiting our old haunt, reminiscing about the past," Yang Ce said.
"I remember you two now. I never imagined you'd end up together after all. I'm truly happy for you!" Ms. Wang said from the bottom of her heart.
"Yes. I remember how kind Ms. Wang was to Su Ya and me back then," Yang Ce said.
"I remember. Su Ya was such a good little singer. If she'd developed it, she really had the potential to be a star—especially judging by how she looks now. She's every bit as good as those top-tier celebrities!" Ms. Wang said with a touch of regret.
"Heh heh, actually I do work in a music-related field," Su Ya said vaguely, unable to state her identity outright.
"Well, you two carry on. I need to get to the cafeteria. Oh, by the way, your homeroom teacher, Wu Chiren, went to prison..." As Ms. Wang said this, she could not help shaking her head. Truly, evil brings its own retribution. If Wu Chiren hadn't been so obstinate and done all those wicked things back then, he would never have come to such an end!
Wu Chiren's persecution of Yang Ce and Su Ya had been only one of his misdeeds; Ms. Wang had heard quite a few others as well.
"We know," Yang Ce nodded. "Take care, Ms. Wang."
After seeing Ms. Wang off, Yang Ce and Su Ya walked out of the campus together, got into the car at the gate, and drove off in the direction of the seaside.
The weather in early spring was still quite cold at this hour.
There was hardly anyone at the seaside at this moment, only a few couples who happened to pass by. The sea wind was as biting as ever, and the two of them could not help shivering as soon as they got out of the car.
"It's so cold!" Su Ya said instinctively.
"Yeah. Here, put this on?" Yang Ce took off his own coat, turned, and draped it over Su Ya's shoulders.
"You don't have to, do you? You're not wearing much yourself—don't catch a cold," Su Ya said, shaking her head, wanting to refuse.
