Ning Youguang listened nearby and nodded lightly, while Xu Wei saw her interest, his smile deepened:
"Our country has a profound foundation and accomplishnt in art within history and traditional culture, which significantly aids the developnt of modern art. Art education research can draw on experiences from traditional culture and find academic resources in ancient texts and docunts, which requires the involvent of scholars in ancient cultural studies to produce high-quality academic results."
His gaze fell on Ning Youguang, "I suppose you might know scholars in the relevant field. If there’s an opportunity, please introduce one or two."
Ning Youguang nodded, "Sure."
"Thank you." Xu Wei looked pleased, then smiled again, "Perhaps it’s more appropriate to call you Professor Ning now."
"Either is fine." Ning Youguang chuckled lightly, "As long as it’s ."
Xu Wei sighed softly, "Indeed..."
"You two continue chatting, I’ll go talk to Mr. Liu from Hetai over there." Zhuang Yijing interjected at the right mont.
The Zhuang family’s twins happened to go on stage to play gas, and once Zhuang Yijing left, only Xu Wei and Ning Youguang were left at the table.
Xu Wei took two steps forward, standing closer to Ning Youguang.
He was just about to lean in and speak to her when the area suddenly filled with enthusiastic applause.
Ning Youguang glanced at the stage and saw Jin SuYan, looking exceptionally dazzling in a golden lace gown adorned with diamonds, preparing to open a blind box under the host’s guidance.
Turning back, she complinted Xu Wei with a smile, "Miss Jin has a remarkable presence."
Xu Wei lowered his eyes with a soft smile, "Thank you."
Though in his heart, he regretted, "But not as much as you."
Taking advantage of the audience’s focus on the stage, Xu Wei finally couldn’t resist asking the question he had been hesitating over all night —
"Are you still single now?"
He shifted the topic quickly.
Ning Youguang’s gentle expression remained unchanged, "No."
Xu Wei’s face slightly stiffened.
But he quickly turned and took a glass of red wine from a passing waiter, also fetching a glass of juice for Ning Youguang and gently placing it in front of her.
"Thank you." Ning Youguang moved the juice closer to herself.
Xu Wei took the opportunity to compose himself, "So it seems Ning is now with soone she likes?"
"Yes, I am." Ning Youguang said.
Xu Wei looked at her exquisite face and the tenderness in her smiling eyes, suddenly bursting into a deep laugh.
As he laughed, his back slightly hunched.
After a while, supporting himself on the table, he rose and raised his wine glass for a gentle toast with Ning Youguang’s juice, "My girlfriend is off stage now; I need to go back. Wishing you all that you desire in the future, and I hope I can see you again."
"Goodbye."
"Goodbye" ans we’ll never et again, right?
...
Late night, Jin City.
Outside the car window, the cold wind was howling, and the rain was pattering down.
Inside the black Rolls-Royce, the three siblings of the Zhuang family lay lazily on their seats.
Zhuang Siqi was still savoring the farewell hug with Fairy Sister.
"Fairy Sister’s skin is like marble lit by a lamp; the mont she hugged , I was already dizzy."
"Oh, then you surely weren’t focused on the music performance on stage." Zhuang Yijing looked at his sister lazily.
"No." Zhuang Siqi said with a face full of enchantnt, "When Fairy hugged , I had no heart to listen to the music."
—"I saw the music."
