I Want A Lifetime With You

Fu Chengyan continued to give her a few more cups of water. It was not until she insisted that she couldn’t drink anymore that he stopped. “Who did you see today, Grandpa?” Fu Chengyan asked.

Upon hearing that question, both Jiang Shizheng and Shi Nuan turned to look at him. Then, Shi Nuan blinked her eyes and asked, “Who did he see?”

Shi Nuan darted a glance at Fu Chengyan and then at Jiang Shizheng. “Did anyone visit you today, Grandpa?”

With a grim look on his face, Jiang Shizheng stared into Fu Chengyan’s eyes for a long time before shaking his head. “No. I’m just an old man. Other than the occasional visits from you two, no one remembers me.”

Jiang Shizheng seemed to be mocking himself, but in fact, he was warning Fu Chengyan. He knew Fu Chengyan was a smart man, but he couldn’t let Shi Nuan know about his previous encounter.

Fu Chengyan narrowed his eyes knowingly. “You’re wrong, Grandpa. You had so many outstanding students back then. I don’t believe that they would not come to see you!”

“Did a student visit today, Grandpa?” Shi Nuan grinned happily. “I still remember many students of yours coming to see you when I was still going to school. Most of Grandpa’s students are insightful and good!” Shi Nuan looked at Fu Chengyan as she spoke. The latter narrowed his eyes and couldn’t help but pinch her nose.

Shi Nuan slapped his hand away. “How dare you bully me in front of Grandpa!”

“Alright. You’re not kids anymore!” Jiang Shizheng couldn’t help but shake his head. “It was just a former student of mine, whom you don’t even know!” Jiang Shizheng said, making it clear that he didn’t want to continue with the topic.

With an unknown gleam in his eyes, Fu Chengyan did not continue asking more questions. Instead, he engaged in academic discussion with Jiang Shizheng. Although Jiang Shizheng was old and no longer taught, there was no end to learning, and he couldn’t remain idle for even a moment.

Jiang Shizheng went to Jing University last time because the principal of Jing University had sent him an invitation and wanted to hire him as their lecturer again.

Jiang Shizheng only promised them to consider it, but they kept urging him. In fact, this was more or less because all the students under Jiang Shizheng had become successful. They wanted to use his name to associate themselves with these scholars, particularly a bigshot like Fu Chengyan. This was also the reason why Jiang Shizheng had been reluctant to agree to the offer.

Speaking of this issue, Jiang Shizheng heaved a sigh. “The ethos nowadays is different from when I was teaching back then!”

“The times are changing, Professor!” Fu Chengyan quipped.

After hearing the way Fu Chengyan addressed him, Jiang Shizheng was slightly taken aback. He then laughed out loud. “So you’re saying I’m getting old and may be unsuitable for these times.”

Fu Chengyan raised his eyebrows noncommittally.

Shi Nuan felt a little drowsy while listening to Fu Chengyan and Jiang Shizheng’s conversation.
