“Are you feeling cold?” Lu Jingzhi asked as soon as he felt Jiang Yuning shiver. His arms tightened a little in that instance.

“Of course not…” Jiang Yuning quickly shook her head. She buried her face in Lu Jingzhi’s chest before saying, “It is because you are just too perfect.”

“Huh?” Lu Jingzhi looked at her with a puzzled expression on his face.

“You are so handsome and manly, and you have such a beautiful voice,” Jiang Yuning explained.

“I would have thought that you would have been most satisfied with my body.” Lu Jingzhi kissed Jiang Yuning’s forehead as he walked into the bedroom before putting her down in front of the walk-in closet. “I will give you two minutes to get ready.”

“Are we going somewhere with a lot of people?” Jiang Yuning asked as she browsed through her clothing.

“Not really.”

After listening to Lu Jingzhi, Jiang Yuning finally decided on a stylish cotton and linen suit before pairing it off with a cap. She also took out a casual white shirt and a pair of trousers for Lu Jingzhi to change into. “It is not just me, but you would also have to disguise yourself!”

Since she rarely had the chance to see Lu Jingzhi dressed in casual wear, she would have to take this opportunity to admire him in casual wear.

After she had changed into her outfit, Jiang Yuning stood in front of the mirror as she folded Lu Jingzhi’s sleeves for him. “You always wear a suit whenever we go out. Since we are going out on a date, you should just be casual. Don’t always dress up like you are someone as mature as my father.”

Lu Jingzhi had nothing to say to that.

Jiang Yuning completed Lu Jingzhi’s casual look for him but after looking at him, she quickly messed up his hair and started unbuttoning the white casual shirt. She had an unhappy expression on her face as she said, “I think you had better change back into your suit.”

“Why?” Lu Jingzhi pulled Jiang Yuning into his arms. What was wrong with her?

“You look too handsome. I am afraid that all the women on the street will turn around to look at you. I will be so jealous then.”

After listening to her explanation, Lu Jingzhi held Jiang Yuning’s hand as they walked out of the bedroom. “There will not be many people out on the street at this time…and even if there were anyone else looking at me, you are the only person that I want by my side.”

Jiang Yuning was extremely satisfied with his answer and thus quickly followed him into the car.

Even though they were going on a private date, Lu Jingzhi had already arranged for a driver to pick them up and drop them off.

After a short drive, the both of them arrived at the vicinity of Lu Jingzhi’s alma mater. Jiang Yuning smiled and then laughed when she saw the familiar environment. “Did you bring me here today so I can reflect on my past? Hahaha. It looks like your university has changed a lot. To be honest, I am not very familiar with this place. I have only been here twice to look for you and even then, I did not have the time to explore the area.”

“Which tree were you waiting at in the past?” Lu Jingzhi suddenly asked as he hugged Jiang Yuning from the back and looked out of the same window as her.

Jiang Yuning rolled down the window and pointed at the tree beside the school gate. “That one.”

Jiang Yuning could still remember how bad she felt when she was down with a high fever for a whole week after she went home. “I would look up whenever anyone entered the school gate because it felt as though I would miss out on you if I did not look up.”

Lu Jingzhi hugged Jiang Yuning even more tightly as he whispered into her ear, “Have you ever thought about what you would have done if I really appeared in front of you there and then?”

“Of course I did! I once dreamt that you held me in your arms and told everyone we met that I was your girlfriend. That night, I woke up smiling, but I was so depressed at the same time because I wished I could continue sleeping and dreaming about you. What about you? Have you ever thought about what you would have done if you had known that I was waiting for you right outside your school gate? What would you have done then?”

“I would have taken you to a nearby hotel…” Lu Jingzhi whispered. “Then, I would have pushed you up against the wall…and kissed you…and…”

“I was only fifteen years old at that time.” Jiang Yuning reminded him coldly and ruthlessly.

“I do not care.”

After hearing those words, Jiang Yuning once again had goose bumps and she felt as though she had just been electrocuted.

“We…are we not going to go down?” Jiang Yuning quickly asked as she was afraid to carry on with the conversation. She had to get off the car to avoid this man from charming her any further right now!

“We will continue our conversation when we get home tonight…” Lu Jingzhi kissed Jiang Yuning gently on her lips before he pushed the car door open to allow Jiang Yuning to get off the car first.

It was still school hours then and therefore, there were not many people around the university. However, Jiang Yuning was still very vigilant and she held tightly onto her cap to prevent anyone from recognizing her. In fact, her main priority was to prevent anyone from photographing her with Lu Jingzhi.

The two of them held hands as they walked down the street and finally stopped in front of the sycamore tree by the school gate.

Jiang Yuning felt as though she could still see the shadow of the girl who was waiting under the sycamore tree in the past. However, she was glad that the person that she had been waiting for in the past was finally by her side now.

Before Jiang Yuning could react or say anything, Lu Jingzhi had already pushed Jiang Yuning up against the trunk of the sycamore tree. “The reason that I have brought you here today is because I want you to know that I had also been waiting for you all this while when you were waiting for me.”

“I understand now. When I think about it now, I still feel a little stupid, but I no longer feel upset because you have already healed my scars,” Jiang Yuning answered in a serious tone. “Second brother, have we not agreed to put the past behind and focus on the future now? Even if we can no longer see what we had each done for the other in the past, we will at least now be able to see what we are willing to do for one another in the future.”

After listening to Jiang Yuning’s words, Lu Jingzhi hugged Jiang Yuning tightly in his arms, as though he was trying to make up for the time that they had missed out on each other.

“Okay, why don’t you accompany me down the street now? I want to experience what it feels like to be a university student. You have to show me all the places that you used to love.”

Lu Jingzhi stared at Jiang Yuning and he felt his heart aching for her.

Even though he had already done so much for her, he still felt as though he had not managed to protect her completely. If only he had gained more power when he was younger…

Would she have been able to experience and attend a university then?

The both of them walked hand-in-hand down the street selling plenty of street food and snacks near the university. Jiang Yuning was extremely excited, but she had to hold back her appetite even though she really wanted to try the snacks there, as she was about to start filming for

and had to stay in shape for the filming. While they were walking past a small restaurant, Jiang Yuning saw an advertisement that she had featured in the past. She could not help but told Lu Jingzhi, “Second brother, look. This was the first advertisement that I had ever done in my life.”

It was a soda advertisement and the advertisement looked old and faded because it had been such a long time.

“I was still so young at that time.”

“Why are you afraid of eating?” Lu Jingzhi suddenly asked. He realized that every time they had passed by a shop or a restaurant, she would look at all the food and then hesitate as she placed her hand on her stomach.

“I am afraid that I will be fat and am also afraid that someone would recognize me,” Jiang Yuning quickly replied.

“You don’t have to worry. There would not be anyone here on this street who would disturb us and you are not fat at all.”

Jiang Yuning looked up at Lu Jingzhi with a shocked expression on her face. Lu Jingzhi had already blocked off the entire street. It was no wonder why there were not many people walking around.

Jiang Yuning hesitated again before she finally gave in. “If the artiste director tells me that I am too fat when filming starts, then I will ask him to hold you responsible for it. Hahaha…”

“Tell him to look for me then.”

Who would not pamper their girlfriend?

How could Jiang Yuning hold back after the second young master had already promised her that everything would be okay?

However, since Jiang Yuning was already accustomed to eating smaller portions more frequently, she could only eat a few mouthfuls before she started complaining of being so full that she could no longer move. “I have eaten and drunk enough and after this, I am going to spend the night with second brother. How can life get any better than this?”

The both of them continued walking until they reached the end of the street. At this time, a large group of students who had just finished their classes suddenly walked pass them. Jiang Yuning quickly buried herself in Lu Jingzhi’s arms.

“Let’s go now,” Lu Jingzhi said as he hugged Jiang Yuning tightly and was about to exit the street. However, at that moment, two students suddenly came up and approached them directly.

“Excuse me, but are you a celebrity?” Two of the girls who were dressed fashionably suddenly directed their question at Jiang Yuning.

“No,” Lu Jingzhi replied with a cold and straight expression on his face.
