"How can I change?"

They hadn't seen each other for a few years, but their appearances hadn't changed much.

It was a devilishly charming gesture.

"Of course not."

Ruan Qingqiu laughed embarrassedly, then glanced at Ai Di.

The two of them had known each other for many years, and they still vividly remembered how they played together when they were young. It was just that a few years ago, Ai Di suddenly went to America with his father, and in a blink of an eye, so many years passed.

The last time they met was when Ruan Qingqiu was studying abroad.

"Why did you suddenly return?"

Ruan Qingqiu stroke her hair and asked gracefully.

The waist-high waves, all their duties scattered on the shoulder, all sorts of different charm.

Ai Di was a hybrid, her nose was pretty and her skin fair. If one were to place her in the crowd, they would be able to tell at a glance that no one would think that she was forty years old.

Completely different.

"The reason for my work."

Ai Di replied softly. His eyes were still steady, but there were a few more traces of gentleness.

"I knew it was because of work. How else would you be able to come back?" Ruan Qingqiu glanced at it and joked.

Only, she could not understand Ai Di's temperament more and more.

Deep and unfathomable.

Hearing Ruan Qingqiu's words, Ai Di obviously hesitated for a moment, but then retracted.

"You haven't found the right person?"

Ai Di was not married.

She had once asked Ai Di this question. She had inadvertently said that it was only because she did not meet someone suitable for her.

Forty.

"You talk a lot today."

Ai Di raised his eyebrows in displeasure, even his tone was extremely clear.

Putting down the coffee, he wore a dark blue, tight coat that accentuated the curves of her body.

"I'm just asking. Elder sister, you are already forty years old, are you still not thinking about your life?" Ruan Qingqiu had a trace of helplessness as she probed.

Ruan Qingqiu's straight hair fluttered, giving off a refreshing and clean feeling, becoming mature and enticing.

It made people feel gentle.

"Are you going to start educating me after getting married?"

Ai Di glanced at Ruan Qingqiu, ridiculing her.

Exquisite facial features, upright and grand.

"No, alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Your conditions are so good, so there's no need for me to worry."

That was indeed the case.

"When are we going back?" Staring at Ai Di, Ruan Qingqiu spoke seriously.

"Maybe for a while."

Ai Di replied softly, "I have some matters to discuss with Muller's recently, so I decided to stay for a while."

Looking out the window, Ai Di's expression was calm.

Recalling the scene in the meeting room, he could not help but smile.

Ridiculous.

No one had spoken to her like this in all these years.

Or perhaps it was that kind of grandeur.

"Muller's?"

Ruan Qingqiu was surprised, her delicate eyebrows twitched.

Ai Di acknowledged and continued to stir the coffee cup on the table.

After some time, Ruan Qingqiu nodded gracefully: "Ok."

"Why?"

Ai Di spoke.

"Nothing, I didn't expect you to have business dealings with the Muller's."

As expected, the world was too small.

"I do."

Ai Di lowered his head and absentmindedly asked.

"Yin Zheng's good brother."

Ruan Qingqiu replied with a smile.

However, when he mentioned all these, he immediately thought of Su Qi.

Ai Di's eyes suddenly changed, his mouth moved a little, with a smile faintly discernible on his face.

This time, things seemed to have become more interesting.

"Sister Ai Di, if you have time, call Yin Zheng over so we can have a meal together." Ruan Qingqiu spoke with elegance, obviously in a good mood.

During that time in America, Ai Di had helped her a lot.

She hadn't even thanked him properly.

"Alright."

Ai Di straightforwardly agreed, and his eyes curved upwards.

In the mountains.

It was still the same fragrant air. The leaves had already turned yellow and the bits and pieces of them had fallen clean.

It had just rained, and the dirt roads on the road were all mixed up. Wherever they passed, footprints would be left behind, sometimes deep and sometimes shallow, forming a row.

In the past few days, Su Qi seemed to have gotten used to it.

There was no transportation, no communication facilities, just a simple house with some leaks.

However, this kind of life made her temporarily forget about those things.

"Teacher Su."

A little boy ran over from the side of the house and pulled Su Qi's arm, interrupting his thoughts.

The boy's clothes were simple and patched.

"What's wrong?"

Su Qi held the little boy's hand and helped him tidy up his clothes, then spoke with a smile.

"Teacher Su, there's a leak in the corner of the room. Little Hua's books are all wet." The little boy spoke with a serious expression, his young voice actually carrying a trace of sadness.

Their books were basically donated to them by the children of the cities outside, so they were especially cherished.

In the mountains, he was poor to begin with and couldn't even afford books.

"Alright, alright, Teacher Su will follow you to take a look. Don't be sad." Su Qi pinched the little boy's face, consoled him, and stood up. Her only pair of shoes was already stained with a lot of dirt.

Inside the classroom, the rain was dripping down at the back. The table was completely soaked.

The room was simple and narrow, the tables worn and blackened.

"Teacher Su, Teacher Su …"

As soon as they entered, the children shouted enthusiastically, "A dozen children!"

Su Qi smiled and nodded.

"Teacher Su, look."

The little boy pointed to the place where the rain had leaked.

Su Qi walked over, and Little Hua stood at the side with a lonely expression. "Teacher Su, my books are all wet."

Her tone was aggrieved, and her small face showed the maturity of an adult.

"Don't be sad."

Su Qi rubbed Xiao Hua's head and looked up, "Teacher will go with you to dry your books, okay? Leave the book outside and it'll be fine after a while. "

Su Qi said gently, as she carefully took the book out and placed it in the sunlight, and slowly opened it.

When the delicate light shone on his face, Gu Che, who had come over from the side, was stunned for a moment.

Turning his head, Su Qi saw Gu Che holding onto the ladder.

"You're here."

Gu Che reacted, with a grunt he hugged the ladder, "Their house is leaking, I went to borrow a ladder to repair the roof."

Her voice was soft and her eyes were filled with warmth.

Gu Che seemed to be very familiar with everything that happened, but he was clearly younger than. Su Qi sincerely liked this boy who was younger than him.

"I didn't expect you to do this."

Flipping through the book once more, he joked.

Gu Che smiled gently, his eyes clear.
