The four didn’t choose a particular stall to eat at; instead, they played, watched, and ate as they went along!
Walking along the road, they bought whatever looked tasty and wanted to eat, carrying it in their hands while strolling and eating!
This way, they could taste everything and also wander around!
As Ye Anxin walked through the night market, she observed her surroundings, feeling an indescribable sensation in her heart!
Previously when she ca here with Mu Beiting, her biggest wish was to wander the night market with him and then have so fun on the Jiangcheng Bridge!
However, because of the incident at the hotel entrance, she hurried back to Jin City, and her earlier plans were dashed.
She didn’t expect that in her lifeti, she would be able to co here again!
Only this ti, things and people had changed!
Professor Zhou, who was walking ahead, noticed sothing unusual about Ye Anxin, nudged her with his elbow, and asked with a mouthful of atball, "Ye, what are you thinking? Isn’t this food to your taste?"
Ye Anxin shook her head, saying with difficulty, "No, it’s just that I feel it’s not very appropriate to eat, drink, and have fun here before we’ve finished our business!"
Professor Zhou chuckled, dismissively saying, "Oh, it’s fine! We can take the night bus later anyway; the academic conference is at ten tomorrow morning, so there’s plenty of ti!"
Ye Anxin still wasn’t reassured, saying, "Anyway, it’s better for us to head back soon after eating. If we sleep too late, I’m afraid it might affect our performance tomorrow!"
"Got it! We’re all sensible people; we’ll manage it well!" he said, giving Ye Anxin a sweet smile before heading to another stall to buy food!
Watching Professor Zhou with his childlike nature, Ye Anxin smiled and shook her head, filled with helplessness.
Actually, during their tenure at school, the few young teachers got along well! Young people have more common topics together and similar interests! So whenever they had ti, they would also arrange to hang out together!
For Professor Zhou, Ye Anxin regarded her not just as a friend but also as a little sister! A sister who could play with classmates until forgetting class ti!
The group of four wandered a bit more, and by the ti they returned to the hotel, it was already ten-thirty at night.
Fortunately, they didn’t encounter Mu Beiting and Yan Qinghan on their way back!
It wasn’t until she returned safely to her room that Ye Anxin finally breathed a sigh of relief!
After returning to her room, Ye Anxin picked up the already prepared docunts and went out again!
However, this ti wasn’t to go out; she was heading to Professor Liu’s room next door!
The four teachers had agreed to et in Professor Liu’s room to discuss matters of the conference!
Luckily, everyone was quite focused, and they finished the discussion by two in the morning instead of using the whole night as Professor Zhou suggested!
After the discussion, they each returned to their rooms and had a good sleep. At eight o’clock sharp, they got up, washed, changed clothes, and then gathered at the elevator entrance!
Since the academic conference was a very formal seminar, Ye Anxin specially put on a professional outfit, with a short-sleeved striped shirt on top and a black professional short skirt below, along with a pair of black heeled sandals, looking very neat and professional!
Professor Zhou and Professor Xu, like Ye Anxin, changed into similar professional short skirt outfits.
Professor Liu wore a short-sleeved shirt paired with black suit pants and glossy black leather shoes!
The four stood at the elevator door, glanced at each other, nodded in satisfaction, and then got into the elevator!
There were especially many people taking the elevator in the morning, just like yesterday, stopping at nearly every floor!
By the ti they finally reached the first floor and stepped out of the elevator, Ye Anxin and the other three teachers instinctively tugged at their clothes and smoothed their hair.
Professor Liu glanced at the three of them and only after ensuring everything was fine, he smiled and said, "Let’s go!"
The three nodded, with Professor Liu leading and the others following behind.
Ye Anxin was entirely focused on this academic conference, so she had long thrown Mu Beiting and Yan Qinghan out of her mind!
However, it seed like fate particularly enjoyed playing jokes on her!
Just as Ye Anxin was holding the folder, walking with her head held high and reaching the hotel’s revolving glass door, Mu Beiting and Yan Qinghan happened to be coming back from outside!
They followed the revolving glass door outside while Mu Beiting and Yan Qinghan followed the glass door inside!
The three of them just passed by each other in close proximity.
Upon seeing Mu Beiting, Ye Anxin’s face turned pale, and her hands holding the folder involuntarily tightened.
In contrast to Ye Anxin’s tension, Mu Beiting was the complete opposite! He seed completely unaware of Ye Anxin’s presence, his deep eyes staring forward, never once glancing aside!
Instead, it was Yan Qinghan who imdiately noticed Ye Anxin, and upon seeing her outfit, couldn’t help but give her a thumbs up before waving and greeting her, while his other hand tugged at Mu Beiting’s clothes, "Mu Beiting, look at your little wife!"
Yan Qinghan didn’t intentionally lower his voice while saying this; it was neither too loud nor too quiet, but almost everyone around could hear it! Even Ye Anxin heard it clearly!
After hearing Yan Qinghan’s words, Ye Anxin beca even more nervous, her palms sweating!
Unfortunately, it seed as if Mu Beiting didn’t hear at all, as he left in a fast stride without looking back.
Yan Qinghan turned his head to look at Ye Anxin, pursing his lips and shrugging helplessly at her.
Ye Anxin forced a bitter smile, then left without looking back.
The four hailed a taxi at the hotel entrance! Sitting in the taxi, Ye Anxin closed her eyes, taking a deep breath, hoping to quickly forget the encounter just now and return to normal.
Professor Zhou noticed Ye Anxin’s reaction, smiling as she hooked her arm with hers, comforting, "Ye, you don’t need to be so nervous! We’ve prepared thoroughly this ti; it should be fine!"
"Mm!" Ye Anxin nodded, taking another deep breath, then exhaling heavily, finally feeling the tension dissipate quite a bit.
Shortly after, the taxi stopped in front of a large building!
The four got out of the car, looking up at the building in front of them, and Professor Liu said, "The conference is on the fourth floor! We must strive, strive, and strive again! This is an opportunity given to us by the school, only allowing success, not failure! If we succeed, our future will be bright! If we fail, we’ll have to wait a few more years!"
"Yes! Co on, let’s do it!" The four of them ford a small circle, encouraging each other. Then they all closed their eyes, took a deep breath, and once their excitent settled down, they took their respective folders and walked into the building!
