Senior, don't be afraid, I'll protect you.

Saturday night.

Family housing.

When Luo Ye bought the chicken, he had already asked the owner to cut it into pieces.

He did some simple processing on the chicken, and then waited for the fairy senior to get off work.

Before that, he went to his cousin's empty room, picked up the basketball on the ground, and then rushed downstairs with great enthusiasm to the basketball court in the family building.

Few people play here, so Luo Ye monopolized the entire court by himself.

He then aimed at the hoop and took a shot using standard form.

No shot made.

He ran over again, picked up the basketball, and continued shooting.

If you get tired of throwing, dance a little to relax.

Ji Ni is so beautiful, Ji Ni is just too beautiful...

Having known Chris Hemsworth for so long, he knows this dance by heart.

Not long after, a bald old man appeared outside the court. He stood with his hands behind his back, watching Luo Ye play through the iron fence.

Noticing his appearance, Luo Ye walked over and said in surprise, "Strolling around, grandpa?"

Luo Ye has one distinctive characteristic.

Whether it's the first or second meeting, he's very good at disguising himself.

Polite, sensible, and well-behaved.

As they met more often, his true nature gradually came out.

[You little brat] [Grandpa's taking a stroll] [Liu Meiren].

This personality is almost identical to Gu Mingxuan's.

In their eyes, there is no hierarchy among people, whether you are the president of Jiangcheng University or a freshman.

After knowing each other for a long time, we become old friends.

"Little Luo, you're playing."

"Yes, basketball, wanna play together, Grandpa Fang?"

"Huh? Xiao Luo, you called me Principal last time, why are you calling me 'Grandpa' this time?"

Upon hearing this, Luo Ye honestly replied, "Aren't you about to retire?"

"More or less, within the next two months."

After saying that, Principal Fang looked at the basketball in Luo Ye's hand. He wanted to play with it, but he knew his physical condition.

At his age, if he were to play basketball, his bones would surely fall apart.

"Alright, I'm fine with playing pool, but basketball is out of the question."

Looking at Luo Ye in front of him, Principal Fang also recalled Gu Mingxuan when he first enrolled in school.

At that time, he was not the principal yet; like Li Ping is now, he was a vice principal and was still teaching.

Even back then, Gu Mingxuan was very different from others.

He is handsome, has good grades, comes from a good family, has a good personality, and is not distant from teachers. They can chat and laugh together like peers.

At the time, some people felt that this was impolite.

But politeness is definitely more than just a formality.

Although Gu Mingxuan would put his arm around him, he would never disrespect him. He would even pay attention to his health at all times and would refill his cup if he saw that it was empty.

Genuine care is always more respectful than so-called "formalities".

Some people are incredibly respectful in words, but show a completely different face once they leave.

Looking at Luo Ye in front of him, he understood why that little girl who wasn't interested in anyone would take a liking to this kid.

However, he was genuinely curious about what kind of girl Gu Mingxuan, who was uninterested in anyone, would take a liking to.

At this moment, Su Baizhou bought some side dishes and passed by the basketball court.

This is the only way they can get home.

She walked over, placed the bag of vegetables on the bench, greeted Principal Fang, and then came to Luo Ye's side.

"Senior, shall we cast two?"

Su Baizhou didn't say anything, but silently took the basketball.

Luo Ye first taught Su Baizhou how to play ball here.

Principal Fang was there at that time, but they didn't notice it then.

The young couple in front of me have gone from being cautious and hesitant to treating each other like family, and their interactions have become commonplace.

I think it was about a year ago, when they were playing basketball here awkwardly.

Time really flies.

Before we knew it, another year had passed.

At his age, he has a very deep understanding of time.

As the saying goes, when you close your eyes, your mind is filled with memories.

"Old Fang!"

Just then, an old woman's voice came from above.

Luo Ye looked up and saw the principal's wife peeking out from the third floor of the building next door. She snapped, "Still wandering around outside? Hurry up and come back for dinner!"

"I know, I know."

Principal Fang waved his hand, put his hands behind his back, and prepared to leave.

Su Baizhou looked at Luo Ye, feigning anger, and mimicked the principal's wife's tone, saying, "Still wandering around outside~ Hurry up and come back for dinner~"

"Senior, you're so cheeky."

Luo Ye pinched the fairy-like senior's cute little nose.

"Ugh, go away."

Su Baizhou slapped Luo Ye's hand away, then tossed her hair, turned around, and hopped away with a cat-like gait, displaying extreme liveliness.

She hopped a few steps, then, as if remembering that she was a cool and aloof school beauty, she stopped and started walking normally.

Luo Ye couldn't help but laugh. He followed her, holding the basketball in one hand and carrying the groceries his senior had placed on the bench in the other, and walked home with her.

This is just an ordinary day.

But for the two of them, it was anything but ordinary.

Even though every day is the same, every day is full of hope.

……

London.

"Is this your first time here? This is the most beautiful spot in London at night."

Through the glass, you can see the entire London night view.

The blond, slightly overweight old man looked at the young man behind him.

The young man behind him was tall and slender with perfect proportions; he was so striking that one couldn't take their eyes off him just by looking at him.

Of course, this person was Gu Mingxuan.

He was studying with his mentor, and at that moment, his brow was furrowed as he pondered some complex issues.

It's worth noting that the prototype of Dynasty Esports initially stemmed from his thesis.

Later, they met Ye Mingjie and Li Cheng, and the three of them worked together to turn this paper into a major domestic company.

His mentor is a renowned figure in the global financial world and a senior executive of a mega-corporation.

“Gu”.

The blond old man said, "You are very talented. You could have graduated early, but I hope you will stay. With your abilities, even in our company, your future achievements will not be inferior to mine."

The company my mentor works for is comparable to the top tier of companies in China. Even the Gu Group at its peak had to temporarily give way to its strength.

"No, I went abroad so that I could return to the country more easily."

Gu Mingxuan spoke coldly. He was like a completely different person compared to Luo Ye.

At that moment, his phone on the table vibrated, and the screen lit up instantly, displaying a pear image followed by two sentences in Chinese.

I'm starving!

"I'm going to cook for myself today!"

Both sentences were seen by the tutor.

As a top financial elite, he naturally understands Chinese.

He smiled slightly and said, "Gu... you've changed."

"Where?" Gu Mingxuan raised an eyebrow and asked.

Although Li Xia sent him many messages, he didn't reply, so he hasn't changed.

but……

The mentor chuckled, revealing a knowing look, and said, "The old you wouldn't have given someone like this the chance to message you."
