Xuxu was beside him, holding onto his elbow. A warm and demure smile was plastered onto her face.

She stared at the entrance, seeing many familiar faces—her ex-classmates and teachers.

"Xuxu."

Xuxu was saying hello to the people before them when someone called her.

It was a woman's voice, and she sounded like she was of mature age.

She looked up and saw an old woman in a dark purple sweater. She was smiling and walking over towards them.

Her silver hair was pinned up neatly into a bun. From her appearance to her smile, she seemed elegant and poised.

Xuxu hesitated before recalling something and smiling beautifully. "Teacher Li."

She was their class teacher in middle school.

Xuxu let go of Yan Rusheng's arm and went up to greet her.

"Teacher Li," she greeted excitedly. She then grabbed the old woman's hand.

Teacher Li smiled reminiscently. "It's been over 10 years. I always see you on the news, and I can finally see you in person now."

Xuxu smiled shyly. "Teacher Li, you're too kind."

"Teacher Li."

Suddenly, Yan Rusheng respectfully greeted her from behind.

Teacher Li looked over and smiled. "Yan Rusheng, you're so lucky."

She meaningfully looked at Xuxu.

Yan Rusheng knew what she meant and he smiled. "I have to thank you for that."

He stood beside Xuxu and wrapped a hand around her shoulders.

He did it ever so naturally.

Teacher Li saw it and smiled. "All of you have your own families now. The number of gray hairs on my head is increasing day by day—I'm old."

Xuxu frowned. "Definitely not. You look vibrant, not old at all."

Although she knew that Xuxu was just comforting her, it still elated her. "You have the glibbest tongue."

Yan Rusheng raised his eyebrow. "Don't you teachers love it?"

All of Xuxu's teachers loved her.

Adults and teachers used her as a model example to others.

"That's true." Teacher Li tilted her chin up proudly. "In the two years that I took your class, I never had to worry about her, whether in her studies or with peer interaction."

She then pointed at Yan Rusheng and said with a smile, "Both of you complement each other."

This was what Yan Rusheng loved to hear. He loved being associated with Xuxu, whether it was for good or bad reasons.

His grip around Xuxu's shoulder tightened, and he proudly looked at Teacher Li. "Teacher Li, I'm not sure if you know this, but when she was thirteen, Wen Xuxu already started liking…"

But before he could complete his sentence, Xuxu suddenly covered his mouth.

'Oof….'

Xuxu glared at him menacingly in a warning.

This fellow was too pompous.

Although she had covered his mouth in time, she still couldn't help but blush.

Teacher Li watched both of them, happiness bubbling from within the recess of her heart.
