Lin Ji looked at the ring in the box, and that short line of words, a little lost in thought.

Before opening the gift box, Lin Ji didn't have much hope.

I never thought it would be a ring.

—and a handwritten note for a marriage proposal.

Lu Yun... is it serious?

Lin Ji walked all the way to the airport with a feeling of anxiety.

In the lounge, Lin Ji took out the velvet box again.

He took out the ring, carefully compared it in his hand, and finally took it for a try.

Fits just right on the ring finger.

Lin Ji looked at the ring and burst out laughing. Although he was smiling, his eye sockets were moistened for some reason.

It would be a lie to say that I am not moved.

After being secretly in love for so long, I finally had a response, and it was still such a response that exceeded expectations.

For a moment, Lin Ji wanted to give up the return ticket.

Running back in front of Lu Yun, although I didn't think about what to say, but I will definitely hug Lu Yun and show with actions... I will trouble Mr. Lu for the rest of my life, no matter what happens in the future, I will do my best to treat you well.

But Lin Ji is such an adult after all.

I took a look at the school's email, and saw the performance amount deducted for not returning to school on time.

I took another look at my next month's mortgage, credit card, and savings.

Some pictures are just fantasy.

Lin Ji put down the phone, and his thoughts returned to reality. He looked at the time on the screen, and it was time to board the plane.

When Lin Ji got on the plane, he glanced out the window, it was still dark.

Lu Yun must have not woken up yet.

Facing the dialog box with the remark [A Yun] for a while, Lin Ji remembered that Lu Yun, a workaholic, would not turn on mute when he was sleeping.

It's better not to send messages to disturb Lu Yun's sleep.

Putting down the phone, Lin Ji glanced at the ring on his hand again, unable to hide the smile on his face.

As soon as he got off the plane, Lin Ji turned on his phone and glanced at the cosmetics his mother asked him to bring, and decided to go to the duty-free shop first.

After all, I didn't go home on New Year's Day, so it's normal for family members to ask for something.

Before he reached the door of the duty-free shop, Lin Ji heard someone calling him from behind.

"Professor Lin!"

The voice was very familiar, but it was a little hoarse, so that Lin Ji couldn't tell who it was for a while.

Lin Ji turned his head and saw a young man wearing a peaked cap and a black mask, running towards him at a trot.

"Is it...Wen Ming?" Lin Ji took a closer look, and felt...the young man in front of him was a little too haggard, and he didn't look like the heartless playboy he usually is, and he didn't dare to recognize him for a while.

"It's me." Wen Ming ran all the way to Lin Ji before taking off his mask.

"Why are you here? It's not the end of the term soon..." Lin Ji hadn't finished speaking when he suddenly remembered that before the New Year's Day holiday, Principal Wen told him that they were going to immigrate with their family.

Wen Ming was naturally among them.

"Sorry, I almost forgot." Lin Ji smiled embarrassedly, "Why are you here alone?"

"My family is already in Canada..." Wen Ming hesitated to speak, and didn't finish the second half of the sentence.

Lin Ji: "It's okay, I didn't hear it just now."

Wen Ming just smiled embarrassingly, "Professor Lin should already know about my family, right?"

"Principal Wen told me that you are planning to immigrate with your family. I don't know anything else." Lin Ji said calmly, "That's why it's strange that you are alone at the airport."

"They've already passed by. I'm thinking... wait until the New Year's Day is over before leaving. Because I still want to say goodbye to my friends and Professor Lin..." Wen Ming hesitated a bit when he said this, "But , It seems that I can't wait until the New Year's Day holiday is over."

"What's the matter?" It was rare for Lin Ji to see this dude speak hesitantly.

Wen Ming didn't answer, and lowered his head, covering his face with a hat.

After a long silence, Wen Ming finally spoke, "After a few hours of reading the news, you'll know. It's hard to explain... I can't express myself either."

watch the news?

In Lin Ji's impression, only serious matters would make the news.

But interfering with the Wen family's privacy, Lin Ji didn't know how to ask or comfort him for a while.

"It seems that it is inconvenient for me to ask." Lin Ji changed the subject after finishing speaking, "In short, no matter where you are, you must study hard. The time in your life to study without worry is only a few years, and when you grow up You have more responsibilities on your body, and your mood is completely different when you want to study, you know?"

"Yeah." Wen Ming still lowered his head, and inadvertently caught a glimpse of the ring on Lin Ji's ring finger.

The originally haggard face became depressed a lot.

"Take care of yourself and study hard." Lin Jimo didn't know what to comfort him at the end, and couldn't help him much, "And...it's nothing, I'm such an adult, I believe you can return from your studies soon."

Wen Ming still lowered his head, "Did Professor Lin just come back from his honeymoon?"

"Hmm...that's sort of it." Seeing Wen Ming staring at the ring on his hand, Lin Ji responded casually.

"Thank you...knowing that I don't like women very much, my private life is chaotic, my studies are messy, and I am good at skipping classes. You are willing to take care of me and persuade me for so long. As long as I show a little desire to learn, you are willing to explain to me...Thank you very much You." Wen Ming paused here, "But I still want to ask, if Professor Lin receives another student like me in the future, will he treat him as patiently as he treats me?"

Lin Ji was silent for a while.

He could tell that Wen Ming was asking about his position in his heart.

No matter how low the EQ is, Lin Ji can hear the tricks of young people.

"Yes." Lin Ji replied firmly, "But, it is enough for me to accept you who are so careless, and I will experience it once in my life, and I will not accept another one to shorten my life." After Lin Ji finished speaking, he patted him , "Don't worry, the impression you left on me is too deep, I won't forget it."

After finishing speaking, Lin Ji heard Wen Ming smile.

This is a sigh of relief.

Suddenly, Lin Ji felt a weight drop from his shoulder.

It's Wen Ming... hugging him.

But this kind of polite hug was really beyond the line, Lin Ji didn't dare to push it away for a while, "Is there anything else?"

"It's gone. Lin Ji, take care."

After speaking, Lin Ji felt that the shackles on his shoulders were loosened.

Wen Ming smiled apologetically, then put on his hat and mask, and ran in the opposite direction.

Lin Ji looked at Wen Ming's back trotting all the way, and sighed.

He took out his mobile phone and opened the news software, but there was no report about their school.

After returning home, Lin Ji put away his luggage and glanced at the time, it was already getting late.

It was too late to catch the subway to school.

Lin Ji took a taxi and hurried to school.

Before reaching the school gate, the traffic was already blocked.

"Master, just stop here." Seeing that it was getting late, Lin Ji thought that it would not be too far for him to run for a while.

"Eh good."

Lin Ji got out of the car, ran two steps forward, and saw the yellow and black cordon pulled far away.

Next to it, there are constantly remembering to squeeze into the crowd holding the camera.

what happened……

Lin Ji was a little confused.

He had never seen such a scene.

Can only squeeze forward along the crowd.

Suddenly, a voice broke out from the crowd.

"Come out! Come out!"

Just after shouting, all the reporters rushed to the edge of the cordon with their cameras in hand, for fear that the news would be old if it was a second late.

Lin Ji had no choice but to be squeezed to the edge of the cordon along the flow of people.

In the next scene, Lin Ji was stunned on the spot.

——Principal Wen, who had always been elegant and easy-going in the past, was handcuffed behind his back and pushed into the police car step by step.

"Principal Wen...?" Lin Ji's eyes widened, and he shouted in disbelief.

The other party seemed to have heard his call, and turned his head to take a look.

But soon, he was forcibly turned back by the police.

"Wen—" Before Lin Ji could speak again, a microphone was pressed against his lips.

The voice I remembered was very resonant, "May I ask this gentleman, what do you think of the embezzlement of more than 20 billion yuan by the former principal Mr. Wen Yunde?"

"How is it possible?" Lin Ji almost blurted out, "Principal Wen...isn't that kind of person..."

In the end, Lin Ji's voice lost all confidence.

Speaking of which, he didn't know what happened. Principal Wei/. Huwen seemed to be acting out of instinct.

"Then may I ask what kind of person Mr. Wen Yunde is usually?"

Only then did Lin Ji belatedly realize that several cameras were pointing at him.

Shut up quickly, trying to squeeze out of the crowd in silence.

"Sir? Sir? You are Professor Lin who helped build the 'Second Prince Gong's Mansion' before, right?"

"Professor Lin, can I interview you about Wen Yunde..."

The noisy voice of the reporter turned into humming in Lin Ji's ears.

He squeezed through the crowd as if fleeing, and entered the campus through the side entrance of the school.

Combined with meeting Wen Ming at the airport earlier, Lin Ji understood what it means to "read the news in a few hours and find out".

Lin Ji trotted all the way to the conference hall, just in time to catch up with the last sign-in.

Looking around, Professor Chen came from the physics group, and Lin Ji took advantage of the opportunity to sit next to a familiar colleague.

"Little Lin, are you here too?"

"No, what else?" Lin Ji was a little confused.

"I called Lao Liu in the morning, and he told me that he had resigned? His family can sponsor some of his students to go out to study English for a year, and he will also arrange work assignments when they come back. Same, if you say resign, then resign." Professor Chen babbled, while sighing, "Oh, people teach for the sake of feelings, I will save more money in the future, so that my children can also have this kind of literati style, I am gone, for the sake of performance , Go back to school honestly."

"Coincidentally, I just came back from out of town because of the mortgage." Lin Ji answered casually.

After speaking, the two smiled at each other.

Just after laughing, I saw a middle-aged man with a big belly walk up to the conference table.

The opening is a formatted speech, which is basically memorized with a template, without any substantive content.

——To put it bluntly, there is absolutely no need for faculty and staff to return to school in advance.

"Is he the new principal?" Lin Ji asked in a low voice, feeling sleepy listening to the lengthy meeting.

"Well, the surname is Wang. I forgot what it was called." Professor Chen curled his lips, "It is said that just now...Wen...the former principal was arrested on charges of corruption."

Lin Ji: "I saw it at the scene. I called him and he still looked back at me..."

Before finishing speaking, Lin Ji felt the back of his hand being touched.

Seeing Professor Chen winking, Lin Ji realized that the new principal in front of the conference table had watched them.

After the tour, the routine speeches began again.

This was a rare meeting where Lin Ji did not take notes.

I really don't know what to remember.

After the meeting ended, Lin Ji breathed a sigh of relief.

"Don't rush to relax. I heard it before you came. In the evening, what else is there... a fellowship dinner. It is said to let the old and new faculty members get to know each other."

Lin Ji was numb after hearing the whole thing.

What happened today... It was like a giant mallet hitting his brain again and again, each time getting heavier.

"However, there is good news and bad news. The good news is that there is no new professor in the physics group for the time being. The bad news is that our offices... probably need to be moved. Make room for the new teacher."

Lin Ji: "It's a blessing not to have a newcomer... just move."

After packing up, Lin Ji and Professor Chen walked out of the meeting room together.

He hadn't taken two steps before he was stopped by a woman in formal attire, "Professor Lin, stop. I'm President Wang's secretary. President Wang asked you to go to the office."

"Okay, I'm sorry to trouble you." After Lin Ji answered, he waved to Professor Chen and motioned for him to go first.

Arriving at the door of the principal's office, Lin Ji was just about to knock on the door, but the secretary had already opened the door first, "Please, Professor Lin."

"It's troublesome." Lin Ji took the doorknob by himself, and knocked twice as a gesture.

After getting permission, he entered the office.

Lin Ji looked at the middle-aged man with a big belly sitting in a small office chair. It was obvious that the size of the chair belonged to the original principal.

I was looking at the paper newspaper and completely ignored him.

"Hello, Principal Wang." Lin Ji took the initiative to speak and bowed.

"Professor Lin, right?" The middle-aged man still didn't look up at Lin Ji when he spoke, "I've heard of you, and participated in the project of the classical architectural complex."

Lin Ji smiled awkwardly.

"However, there are many physics professors who can participate in that kind of project in our original school, but they don't want to come here." The middle-aged man continued.

Lin Ji wished he could find a crack in the ground and sneak in, "That's right, that project... I just made a name for it. I didn't make any actual contribution."

"Hmm. Just now, outside the school gate, did you say something in front of the reporters... something that hurt the school's face?"

Lin Ji was taken aback.

It’s over.

Just now, he subconsciously seemed to say...Principal Wen would not be that kind of person.

"I... just express my subjective opinion, representing the individual, not the school."

After finishing speaking, Lin Ji heard a sneer.

He was silent.

Dead silence.

Lin Ji hesitated for a while, and then said: "Wen Yunde's matter...is it true? If it is true, I will publicly apologize. It was because I spoke carelessly in front of reporters just now."

"What's the matter with him?"

"Say he... embezzled tens of billions?" Lin Ji also forgot the exact figure, only knowing that he was in a daze when he saw Principal Wen being escorted into the car.

"There's no need to apologize. I contacted the reporter to delete what you said. But about Wen Yunde... Anyway, the public believes it, so it's true."
