Chapter 53 Banquet
Lin Yucheng and Lin Yuxi walked towards the drawing place together, and the girl was still watching them from a distance with shining eyes. Her eyes were shining with gratitude, as if they also contained an unknown emotion.
Although Lin Yucheng did not look back, he could feel the presence of that gaze, as if there was a mysterious force pulling him.
During the drawing process, Lin Yucheng's mood was difficult to calm down. He couldn't help but start to think about why he cared so much about that girl. Was it because of her beauty? Or because of her eyes? He shook his head, trying to get rid of these thoughts.
"Brother, what's wrong with you?" Lin Yuxi noticed Lin Yucheng's abnormality and asked with concern.
"It's okay, maybe I'm a little tired." Lin Yucheng said casually.
After the draw, the two prepared to leave. However, when they turned around, they found the girl standing in front of them. Her eyes were full of anticipation and nervousness, as if she was waiting for something.
"You...is there anything you need?" Lin Yucheng asked awkwardly.
"I... I just want to say thank you to you." The girl whispered, her voice trembling a little.
"You're welcome. It's just a small favor." Lin Yucheng tried his best to remain calm, but an inexplicable emotion surged in his heart.
He thought their conversation might be over soon, but he obviously underestimated the girl's courage. She lowered her head for a while, but finally mustered up the courage and asked softly, "My name... My name is Jiang Yu, what's your name?"
Lin Yucheng was slightly stunned. He didn't expect this girl to be so direct and brave. He glanced at Lin Yuxi's smirking expression and felt a little uncomfortable. He couldn't help but clenched his fist and put it to his lips and coughed.
It was not until he noticed the girl's increasingly dim gaze that he quickly spoke, "Ahem... well... I'm Lin Yucheng, and this is my sister Lin Yuxi!"
Hey, that’s good. I even remember to explain my identity!
Lin Yuxi secretly gave her brother a thumbs up in her heart. After taking a closer look, she couldn't help but admire the vision of these scoundrels and bullies in ancient times, each one was more vicious than the other.
Although this girl may not seem very eye-catching at first glance, a closer look will reveal that she is disguised. Just from the color of her makeup, you can see her inherent beauty.
Lin Yuxi greeted with a smile, "Hello, Sister Jiang, I am Lin Yuxi, from Master Lin's family at Qingcheng Wenxuan School!"
After hearing this, Jiang Yu's eyes flashed with joy, and a hint of shyness appeared on his face at the right time, and the whole person seemed to have gained a bit of color out of thin air.
"So it's Mr. Lin in person. Thank you again for saving me." Jiang Yu bowed slightly.
"You're welcome." Lin Yucheng scratched his head embarrassedly.
"Then I will take my leave first. Mr. Lin, Miss Lin, see you later!" Jiang Yu bowed to Lin Yucheng with a slightly blushing face, then turned and left.
Lin Yucheng found that he seemed to be infected by the girl's innocence and enthusiasm, and his eyes could not help but follow her.
Lin Yuxi watched the affectionate interaction between the two and couldn't help but eat a mouthful of dog food, almost drowning.
"Brother, come back to your senses," Lin Yuxi suddenly broke the silence.
"They've all gone far away." Lin Yuxi said jokingly, "Looking at you, do you like them too?"
Lin Yucheng's face flushed red all of a sudden, "Don't talk nonsense, I just think she is very special."
"Oh——" Lin Yuxi deliberately dragged out the tone, "I understand, I understand. Where should we go next?"
Lin Yucheng finally came to his senses and said, "Let's go back to the inn first. There's no point in wandering around any further."
Lin Yuxi couldn't help but roll her eyes. What do you mean it's meaningless? Is your heart not in it anymore? !
Forget it, my brother has finally fallen in love, so I'll just give in to him this time!
The two walked towards home together, but Lin Yucheng's heart was still restless. He kept thinking about his encounter with Jiang Yu just now, and that strange feeling kept lingering in his heart. It was numb and tingling, and he couldn't help but explore it.
……
The three-day teacher-student meeting ended quickly. The teachers were still sorting out their gains with great interest, and at the same time they were eager to bring out their favorite students for a walk.
No matter how well you speak, it will be useless if you can't teach a decent person.
Therefore, the banquet on the last day can be said to be a party for all the teachers to show off their children. It also provides a platform for these children to get to know each other, after all, geniuses also need friends.
Only when you see more, you will not be proud and complacent, and you will be able to move forward!
As for the women they brought with them, well, who can resist the temptation of a handsome son-in-law?
If it doesn't work, there's no loss. If it does work, wouldn't it be even better? Whether we can catch fish or not, it doesn't stop us from casting the net!
Of course, not every teacher brought people with them. After all, at such a gathering, it is better to have no one than to have someone of poor quality. If the people they brought failed to gain recognition from the teachers present, it would be a very embarrassing thing in itself.
At the banquet, the lights were on and the place was decorated very elegantly, with the elegance of scholars and the luxury of wealthy families. The red candles were shining brightly, reflecting the expectation and excitement on the faces of every guest.
The teachers, wearing long robes with wide sleeves, talked with each other about their teaching experiences. From time to time, someone mentioned the ancient books they had read recently or the new philosophy they had realized. Although their topics were profound, their tone revealed their earnest expectations for the younger generation.
The protagonists of the banquet, the young talents and the children of marriageable age, met and communicated with each other under the guidance of the teachers. They whispered, debated loudly, asked each other questions, or showed their talents to each other. The air was filled with the breath of youth, as if the whole banquet was full of vitality and hope.
Lin Wenjian brought his children to the guests. Although he did not bring his favorite students, his children were equally outstanding. They were good-looking, well-mannered, and had interesting conversations, which soon attracted the attention of some interested people.
"Master Lin, your son and daughter are both talented and beautiful. I wonder if they have an engagement?" asked a master who was familiar with Lin Wenjian.
Lin Wenzhang smiled and shook his head, and responded politely: "Thank you for your compliment. My son and daughter are not engaged yet. But they are still young, so we can wait."
Hearing this, the teachers around nodded one after another, with a flash of understanding in their eyes. It seems that Master Lin has also set his sights on this year's young talent! However, the girl from the Lin family might be suitable with such looks and temperament. No wonder Master Lin is looking for one among them.
"How is it? Is there anyone you like?" a familiar teacher asked curiously.
"..." Lin Wen Zhang smiled mysteriously and did not answer the question.
"Master Lin, masters," a clear and young voice sounded, attracting Lin Yucheng and his sister to look in the direction of the voice. They saw a handsome young man approaching with a graceful girl.
The young man has an upright figure, picturesque features, and a faint smile on his lips, which makes people feel good about him.
