Name:The Cherished Old Time Author:
The wound on Yu Meng's wrist quickly healed under Tan Yubai's constant care. On the day they were released from the hospital, the weather was clear and windy, but no matter how warm the sunlight was, it couldn't brighten Yu Meng's heart.

She already rarely laughed, and during her stay in the hospital, no matter how Tan Yubai tried to make her laugh, her reaction wasn't very strong.

There had been the happiest time between them here.

"Remember, I read here every morning?" Even though lazybones can't get up, you still forced yourself to open your eyes wide and accompany me. "

Tan Yubai held Yu Meng and stood in the courtyard beside the fake mountain. As they sat down, they could feel a cool breeze caressing their face, refreshing and comfortable.

Yu Meng took a deep breath, and the sweet smell of the grass assaulted her nostrils. She breathed it into her lungs, and felt her body and soul become refreshed.

Memories made the atmosphere even better.

"At that time, I was so stupid. I wish I could see you every second of every minute."

At that time, Yu Meng was just like every other girl who protected love during puberty: infatuated, single-minded, kind and pure.

Tan Yubai's expression turned dark, he suddenly turned around and asked Yu Meng: "Then what about now?"

Yu Meng was stunned. "What now?"

"Now, do you still wish to see me every second of every minute?"

Yu Meng could not help but avoid Tan Yubai's gaze as she lowered her eyes.

"How many years has it been? I've long since stopped doing such childish things."

"Lovely won't change." Tan Yubai held onto Yu Meng's hand: "Didn't you always firmly believe that this would happen?"

"But I don't believe in myself at all." Yu Meng gently pulled her hand away from Tan Yubai's palm. "A person like me is not worth believing, you don't need to believe my words either."

Self-abandonment was the most obvious manifestation of Yu Meng's depression.

Tan Yubai stubbornly held onto Yu Meng's arm, making her look straight into her eyes.

"Little Meng, you have to believe in yourself and stick to what you believe in in the past."

"Persistence?" Yu Meng could not help but laugh self-deprecatingly, "Do you still believe in my past? But do you see what I have done to those around me? Tan Yubai, I know that you are doing this for my own good, but I am truly sorry.

"No."

Ripples appeared in Tan Yubai's eyes as he said resolutely, "Everything will be fine."

In the past, she had always been waiting for his return, but now that she was so ill, he naturally believed that she would return.

The sunlight was getting warmer. Tan Yubai held Yu Meng's hand and smiled gently, "Do you want to go and see Teacher Wang?"

Wang Zhiqiang was their former high school homeroom teacher, a middle-aged bishop in maths. Although he was bald and serious, he treated his students very well.

Tan Yubai and Yu Meng took a walk while walking towards the teaching building. It had been a long time since they last came back, the place had already been painted with new walls, the clean and simple beige color, and the place was quietly situated in the northwest corner of the campus.

In the past, they had spent three years together in this teaching building.

It was currently morning school, and not many students came to the teaching building, but when Tan Yubai walked past the teachers, all of the female students in the room raised their eyebrows.

After so many years had passed, what had remained stable and unchanging was the value of his Heaven's Gift.

At the door of the office, just as Tan Yubai was about to knock on the door, Yu Meng grabbed her wrist.

"Wait, I'm a bit nervous." Yu Meng looked at Tan Yubai and pursed his lips.

Tan Yubai smiled and held onto Yu Meng's hand: "It's fine, I'm here."

"If we suddenly came and didn't bring anything, wouldn't it be too sudden?"

"I brought you, you brought me, it's nothing."

Yu Meng patted Tan Yubai's shoulder, "When did you learn to be talkative?"

"Squeak."

The door suddenly opened as they were talking. Wang Zhiqiang walked out and was surprised to see a man and a woman at the door.

"You all..."

Yu Meng was startled. She recovered from her shock and hid behind Tan Yubai.

"Teacher Wang, do you still remember us?"

Tan Yubai magnanimously held onto Yu Meng's forehead and pulled her out from behind her.

"I am Tan Yubai, this is Yu Meng."

As soon as he said his name, Wang Zhigang pushed his glasses up on his nose and reacted.

"I remember! A student from Class 07, one is a bookworm, and the other is a fanatic. "

Wang Zhigang let them into the office and sat them down. The teacher had a smile on his face the entire time. His wrinkled face looked very kind.

"It's been so many years. You've all grown up, but I'm getting old."

Wang Zhigang was sitting in front of his desk. He opened a drawer and looked through it to find a graduation photo. It was none other than the one taken by Yu Mengmeng during her graduation ceremony.

The young men and women dressed in the bachelor's uniform were brimming with youth and the sun was shining brightly.

Wang Zhi Gang had been with so many students before, but he was still able to remember Tan Yubai and Yu Meng the most clearly.

"I haven't been back for a long time. I didn't expect you to remember us so quickly." Tan Yubai opened his mouth as he took the graduation picture from Wang Zhi Gang and looked at it carefully.

"You're the smartest student I've ever taught." Wang Zhi Gang looked at Tan Yubai, and to this day, his eyes were filled with praise: "How can I not remember?"

At that time, as long as they took the examination, Tan Yubai would undoubtedly always be first, and would not only be first, but also have a very different result from second place.

Although he admired Tan Yubai, when Teacher Wang looked at Tan Yubai, it was slowly filled with regret.

"At that time, you clearly had the opportunity to enter Harvard, but in the end you didn't even take part in the first round. Sigh, at that time, I was afraid that it would affect your mood during the college entrance exam, so it wasn't appropriate for me to ask."

This matter had always been on Wang Zhigang's mind. He had brought his own students and knew them well. After all these years, the only student who had the chance to participate in the Harvard primary exam was Tan Yubai.

But he gave up without even trying.

"Actually, if you had participated in the exam back then, I had estimated that the probability of you getting into Harvard would be at least seventy to eighty percent."

He spoke with a tone full of regret.

"Teacher Wang, everyone has their own aspirations."

Tan Yubai said casually. He had never regretted giving up on those things.

"Sigh, that's true. That's also true. Everyone has their own aspirations." Teacher Wang pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose. "I still remember you, Tan Yubai's little shadow."

Wang Zhi Gang looked at Yu Meng. The reason this girl had such an impressive performance was because wherever Tan Yubai had appeared, Yu Meng would definitely follow behind her.

Everyone said that Yu Meng was Tan Yubai's little follower. After a while, she had gotten used to it.

After leaving school for so many years, it had been a long time since Yu Meng had heard someone call her this. In a daze, she seemed to have returned to the past.

The green grass, the book exam, so many clear memories, clearly echoed in his mind, just as if it had just happened yesterday.

Time, he said. He left just like that. He would never stop.

"How are you guys? Why did you suddenly come over to see me?" Wang Zhigang was holding the Math case in his hand. From a glance, he could tell that the cover was old. It had been used for many years.

"Little Meng is my wife now." Tan Yubai dotingly smiled and lightly held Yu Meng's hand. "I was just passing by the entrance of the campus, I wanted to come in and see how you were doing, teacher."

Looking at the couple's intimate relationship, Wang Zhigang could not help but feel happy for them, his eyes were as sweet as honey.

Teacher Wang quipped, "Little follower, your years of hard work have not been in vain."

Yu Meng pursed her lips and smiled embarrassedly.

"Don't say it, you've changed quite a bit." Wang Zhi looked at Yu Meng and then looked at Tan Yubai, "In the past, Yu Meng talked a lot, but she kept on blabbering non-stop. At that time, Tan Yubai was high and cold. "How could you two fall for it now?"

Tan Yubai didn't say that the change in Yu Meng's heart was due to her depression. He only said that girls would be more reserved when they grew up.

They only chatted a little with the teacher before the bell rang for the first class. Wang Zhi Gang had a class, so he could not continue to reminisce about the old days.

When they walked out of the office, Tan Yubai spoke out, "Teacher Wang, let us treat you to a meal tonight."

Wang Zhi Gang patted Tan Yubai's shoulder: "I am grateful to your teacher, but there is a lot of pressure from the third year students recently, so I accompanied them to study at night. It ended very late, and I'm afraid I won't be able to eat with you guys. Actually, seeing that you guys are having such a good time now, I can finally relax. If I have time in the future, I can just come visit the school and pay a visit to the teachers. "

"Alright then." Tan Yubai laughed, "Remember to pay more attention to Teacher Wang's work."

"Alright."

After bidding farewell to Wang Zhiqiang, she left the school building. However, Yu Meng remained silent.

"What's wrong?" Tan Yubai felt that something was amiss with Yu Meng's mood and was a little worried.

Yu Meng lowered her head, finally willing to speak.

"If only you had gone to Harvard."
