Could she have social anxiety disorder?
The n present couldn’t help but speculate in this direction...
Not until the professor said, "Well, look who’s here! Girl, what brings you here?"
Looking for Sui Yi? Girl?
The n all turned their gazes in unison and saw at the doorway, a portly professor chatting rrily with a young girl. The girl had a stature that, while not as tall as Sui Yi, was nonetheless slender and graceful. Dressed in simple light blue jeans and canvas shoes, she wore a soft, plain linen short-sleeved top. With a faint smile on her face, she replied, "Yes... I’m looking for Sui Yi."
The na Sui Yi, when uttered by that clear and lodious voice, had a charm of its own.
And her presence... like a mulberry flower on a secluded path, elegant and gentle, was unforgettable at first sight.
It was her... Sui Yi had already walked over, calling, "Changan."
Changan, this na...
Ye Changan smiled, "I should be grateful that Miss Sui still rembers ..."
This statent carried so weight.
Sui Yi detected a slight tease from the young lady, as if she had given her contact information earlier, promising to connect after arriving in the Capital City, but she had failed to do so.
She did not retort or explain, but rely smiled lightly.
A person who was always as indifferent as water, why would she fuss over trivial matters?
Ye Changan wasn’t annoyed, gave a slight nod to the departing professor, and then said, "Grandpa asked to invite you to visit our family."
"Sure," Zuo Wei didn’t refuse. In fact, the Ye family had anticipated that she wouldn’t initiate a visit. For one, she needed nothing from them, and secondly, considering Sui Yi was their savior, her ability, status, and personality ant she would never be subservient to anyone.
It was right for them to invite her.
So Ye Changan ca.
Sui Yi responded decisively.
However, Ye Changan suddenly turned her head and looked behind Sui Yi, "But perhaps today is not a good ti for my invitation."
Turning her head, Sui Yi saw a woman leaning against a pillar behind them, smiling at the scene, apparently having been there for a while.
Hearing Ye Changan’s words, the woman ca over.
Extending her hand, "Hello, Miss Ye... I am Yhan Qingwu."
Yhan Qingwu?
Ye Changan looked at Yhan Qingwu. Although she had already seen Sui Yi, and even the Eastern Lady, and had laid eyes on the beautiful figures of Gong Jiu and Flower Demon, knowing that Sui Yi was always surrounded by beauties, the sight of the innately noble Yhan Qingwu still made her heart pause for a mont. The other woman recognized her.
Then she smiled, "Hello, Miss Yhan... Seeing you, I now understand why there are such rumors about the Jeweled Jade and the Elegant Willow of Yhan and Tang at the philosophy departnt of Beijing University..."
The Elegant Willow of Yhan, graceful and ethereal, the Jeweled Jade, exuding an imposing elegance.
This was Yhan Qingwu.
Yhan Qingwu smiled faintly, "With Changan in the Ye family, who abandoned the pursuit of ancient dical paths, I’ve admired you for a long ti."
On either side, the two won, each carrying radically different temperants, exchanged pleasantries, while Sui Yi quietly watched. After the two won finished speaking, she asked Yhan Qingwu, "Did you arrive today?"
Obviously not asking if she had arrived in the Capital City that day, but rather if she had enrolled today...
"Mhm, I got delayed because of so matters... Let’s catch up after you return from the Ye family," Yhan Qingwu sighed slightly.
Ye Changan laughed, "I think my grandfather would be even more delighted if the Yhan Qingwu from the philosophy departnt could join us..."
In the end, the three of them went together, as Tang Hanyan, who had business and connections in the Capital City, recognized Old Master Ye.
As they left, soone remarked, "The granddaughter of Old Professor Ye, that Ye Changan of the Ye family... the genius who gave up our Beijing University for Central dical University?"
"And the other is the recognized belle of the philosophy departnt, Yhan Qingwu..."
So it wasn’t that she had no friends; the caliber of her forr friends was just too high...
——————
Afterwards, Sui Yi naturally t Old Master Ye and realized the Ye family’s residence... was also in Qingshan Courtyard!
What a coincidence!
However, the Ye family seed fine with it; they knew early on that she wasn’t short of money. But Yang Taili of the Ye family was surprised, although he didn’t show it, much like Sui Yi and another person who were not shocked to see him present.
After the eting, Yang Taili cut to the chase: "Why do you study archaeology?"
Very direct.
Ye Changan, bringing out so fruit, placed the fruit plate on the table. Elder Ye laughed, apparently very curious, and Yhan Qingwu was sipping tea...
"Because it’s necessary," Zuo Wei answered truthfully.
Necessary?
Yang Taili raised his eyebrows.
"I need to investigate so things... It’s just that they are rather personal," Zuo Wei clarified.
Personal—that word might sting these two old n who had devoted their lives to preserving the nation’s cultural heritage.
"Aren’t you afraid I’ll get angry?" Yang Taili squinted.
Sui Yi looked at him, "Personal, public, broad definitions and narrow ones, individual and national, I don’t think you, elder, fail to see through these by now."
Whether it’s national protection or personal, what’s the difference?
Yang Taili drumd his fingers on the table, and after a while, he said, "You’re even more exceptional than I imagined, but I don’t mind taking you as a disciple. Perhaps you guessed from the beginning that I wouldn’t refuse... After all, there are so few geniuses in this field... and so geniuses end up misguided."
A certain genius gave a chuckle, "Grandpa Yang, please don’t make fun of ... Practicing dicine can save lives, after all, life is of the utmost importance, it shouldn’t be taken lightly compared to cultural heritage."
"Enough... Your sharp tongue has its uses," Yang Taili rolled his eyes as he continued speaking to Sui Yi, "Since your priorities will be personal in the future, there’s no need for to formally take you as my disciple in public, to avoid those people using as an excuse to find you in the future... No need for discipleship gifts either. Whatever I can teach, you just learn... Ah, Changan girl, go and cook, I’m starving to death."
Another dig at !
Ye Changan shook her head while Yhan Qingwu smiled faintly. Not becoming an official disciple in public? Privately, then?
He was affording her a high degree of freedom and indulgence. If not for Sui Yi’s terrifying talent in archaeology, Yang Taili perhaps would not have relented.
After all, not just anyone could be his student.(To be continued. If you like this work, you are welco to support it by voting for it on qidian. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian to read.)
