Chapter 121: When He Wakes Up

father's despondent and complaining words, a slight upturn of her red lips, a half-smile that was both enigmatic and inscrutable.Surely, she must have seen his glorious deeds on TV tonight!She didn't...High school classmates……

First love...

All of these are gone...

...getting farther and farther away from him....

That year when he turned eighteen, after Ji Siyan left, Leng Zhujing never looked back at those things and never contacted any of his high school classmates or teachers.

Before encountering Tong Yimò, the only thing he did was numb himself with study and work.

He was an unloved illegitimate child. The woman he loved had abandoned him. He always thought he was the loneliest person in the world, but he never expected that there was someone named Yimo who shared his fate.

The arrival of Yimo was truly a beautiful surprise.

At first, on the plane, he felt a little airsick. Now that he was in the car again, drowsiness came over him.

While driving, Qi Siyan glanced at Leng Zhujing who seemed drowsy on the passenger seat. She then switched the rock music playing in the car to light music.

Soon, the cold afternoon sun had set.

When he woke up, Ji Siyan had just parked the car.

"Awake" Ji Siyan said as she took out two wrapped red envelopes from the car's storage compartment.

Leng Zhujing looked around and saw Ji Siyan handing him one of the red envelopes. He couldn't help but ask in confusion, "What are you doing"

"It's been a while since you last checked the high school class group messages, hasn't it Today is our homeroom teacher's 50th birthday. There's a banquet at a hotel and he specifically invited students from our graduating class, his favorite one, to celebrate." Ji Siyan smiled and said.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have suddenly gone to the airport to pick him up.

Leng Zhubing had a bewildered expression, but still believed what Ji Siyan said. After taking the red envelope from Ji Siyan's hand, he discovered that it contained five thousand yuan in cash.

"Well, I'll return it to you later." Leng Zhujing said lightly.

Ji Siyan smiled faintly: "Just consider it as my tuition fee for becoming your apprentice!"

Impliedly, she meant that she didn't need him to pay her back, after all, she knew he was a bit short on cash lately.

Leng Zhujing knew that Ji Siyan wasn't short of money. As the eldest daughter of the prestigious Ji Shi Group, she wouldn't care about this amount.

Ironically, he who once reveled in luxury can't even afford this now.

His monthly salary was barely enough to cover the bank loan and support his wife, so he lived a very difficult life.

Leng Zhujing fell silent again, and Ji Siyan knew that he was proud. She stopped talking as well.

They got off the car together and entered the hotel.

The banquet for the head teacher's birthday was attended by students from all the classes he had taught.

Leng Zhuxiang and Ji Siyan appeared at the table for their class banquet together. When the other students saw them, they started cheering.

"Daying, Sian, when are you two going to treat us all to a wedding feast"

"Yeah! Back in high school, you two were practically made for each other!"

"You two are a perfect match! I didn't expect you guys to still be together after all this time!"

Everyone chimed in, each offering their blessings to the couple.

Cold Noon had just opened his mouth to explain.

Ji Siyan beat him to it, smiling sweetly: "Then you better prepare big red envelopes! If they're not big enough, neither Ah Jing nor I will accept them!"

"That's for sure!"

"That's right! Red envelopes are a small matter. The biggest meaning is to see this golden boy and girl from our class have children early!"

"Alright, alright, let's not tease me and Ajing anymore. Come on, tell me about your own things!" Ji Siyan smiled brightly, changing the subject.

In class, Ji Siyan was especially popular and could get along with anyone.

While Leng Zhuxiang was considered a popular student in his class, he was well-liked by both girls and boys.

So, everyone sent their blessings to their union.

Cold Zhùjing sat beside Jì Sīyan, still silent.

Even when the homeroom teacher came down and toasted everyone with a cup of wine, he couldn't help but tease Leng Zhicheng and Ji Siyan in front of everyone.

"Back when you two were in high school, I saw the sparks between you. Luckily, you both turned out to be good kids and didn't let your feelings affect your studies. One of you got into our Binjiang University, and the other went abroad for further studies. Now, as your teacher, I eagerly await your wedding!" The homeroom teacher was a man who had already had a few drinks. With a slight buzz, he started rambling.

Hearing the homeroom teacher's words, Leng Zhujing had no expression on his face.

Ji Siyan had been smiling all along, especially after the homeroom teacher finished speaking. She kept thanking the homeroom teacher: "Teacher Li, I have to thank you for turning a blind eye back then and not resorting to strong-arm tactics like calling our parents to break us up."

"I also wish all of you lovers will eventually be together, your careers will flourish, and your families will be happy and harmonious." The head teacher raised her glass with a broad smile.

Everyone raised their glasses to toast the head teacher, wishing him a long and healthy life.

Leng Zhubing didn't like this feeling at all. Throughout the whole process, he was led around by Ji Siyan, yet he had to consider Ji Siyan's face and cooperate with her lies.

Time passes by minute by minute....

The dishes on the table, from initially steaming hot to gradually cooling, Tong Yimo picked up the cooled food and reheated it again and again. She also made phone calls repeatedly.

Finally, the phone never went through. The food on the table, Tong Yimo didn't touch a bite and poured it all into the trash. Then she went to make another one.

At ten o'clock in the evening, Tong Yimo's stomach was growling with hunger. At this time, Leng Zhujing's phone was still switched off.

Could it be that you went straight to the company for overtime after getting off the plane, so you forgot to turn on your phone

Tong Yimo pondered in her heart, then picked up her keys and phone, changed her shoes and went to the Land Resources Building.

On the way there, Tong Yimo hurried forward, her mind filled with thoughts of Leng Zhujing.

She panted and ran to the front door of the Citiprop Building, but found that the main entrance in the lobby was actually locked from the inside.

Tong Yimo had to run back to the front of the building. She saw that none of the lights on any floor in the building were on, and she felt a little disappointed for a moment.

If you're not at the company during the day, where do you go

This was the first time Tong Yimo realized she didn't know much about Zhu Jing at all. She even didn't have his friends' and assistant's phone numbers.

At this crucial moment, she didn't know who to turn to for help.

Then...

Could it be that the plane is delayed

Tong Yimo, with such a glimmer of hope, hailed a taxi and rushed to the airport.

What amused her was that she didn't even know he had taken that flight back.

At the airport exit, Tong Yimo watched the constant flow of people, her heart pounding in her chest.

She only hoped that the daytime would appear before her soon.
