“You look like you lost your soul early in the morning. What are you thinking about?”

“Nothing.” Jiang Yi came back to his senses after hearing Jiang Chuan’s question.

She reached out to touch the ends of her hair, took out a rubber band, and tied it up.

“You look distracted. You don’t look like you have nothing to do,” Jiang Chuan replied casually as he drove.

Jiang Yi lowered her eyes slightly. She knew that if she didn’t say anything, Jiang Chuan would definitely continue asking.

“I want a haircut.”

“A haircut?” Jiang Chuan’s tone was high, as if he had heard something unbelievable.

“In the past, your hair was the most precious thing to you. You often said that your head would bleed before you cut your hair.”

Jiang Chuan’s surprise was not unreasonable. The former Jiang Yi was worlds apart from the current Jiang Yi.

However, they were probably too close. Everyone else was suspicious, but the Jiang family did not feel anything.

“I don’t want to keep it long anymore,” Jiang Yi said lightly with a hint of disappointment.

Jiang Chuan was afraid that she would be in a bad mood, so he nodded. “It’s good that you think this way.”

Jiang Yi could tell that the Jiang family’s concern for her far exceeded her understanding, but this concern was deliberate.

They were deliberately trying to curry favor with her.

Jiang Yi’s fingertips were pressed together on her knees. Her big finger and index finger dug into her skin. Her gaze was lowered, making it impossible to see what she was thinking.

Jiang Chuan glanced sideways at her, but he didn’t find anything unusual.

“I heard from Mom last time that you’re interested in international relations?”

Jiang Yi hummed faintly.

“I know a few friends who are negotiators. I’ll bring you to meet them later.”

Jiang Yi was stunned. Her gaze landed on Jiang Chuan in surprise.

There should be no negotiator in the capital that she did not know.

Or perhaps everyone should know her name.

“Okay.” Jiang Yi was looking forward to seeing everyone.

It was as if a headless fly had suddenly seen hope.

“But you have to wait for a while. I heard from them a few days ago that something big happened. I don’t think they’re in the mood to meet recently.”

Jiang Yi nodded. “No hurry.”

When they arrived at school, Jiang Yi went to class.

As soon as she entered the classroom, she bumped into someone she knew. When Zuo Fei saw her, his eyes lit up and he waved for her to come over.

“You’re here too? You’re taking French classes too?”

Jiang Yi nodded.

“You only attended art classes in the past.” Zuo Fei found it strange. He felt that he knew very little about Jiang Yi. Or rather, she was no longer the Jiang Yi of the past.

“Language is the beginning of art.” Jiang Yi took out a textbook and placed it on the table gently.

It was as if nothing in this world was worthy of her taking a second look.

Zuo Fei stared at Jiang Yi for a while and smiled. “Are you going to the academy’s gathering tonight?”

Jiang Yi was slightly stunned. She thought of something and shook her head. “I’m not going.”

The last time she went to a gathering, she was almost drugged. Would she go again?

She had yet to figure out what was going on, so why would she dare to act on her own?

Zuo Fei wanted to say something, but he stopped when he saw Jiang Yi holding a book and looking like she was about to start listening to class.

During the French lesson, the professor was in high spirits.

Jiang Yi sat below the stage, flipping through her book from time to time and looking at the information in front of her.

On the blackboard, the powerpoint slides changed. The professor looked around. “Which student can translate this sentence on the blackboard?”

Jiang Yi looked up at the blackboard and her pupils constricted.

This scene was too familiar.

Once upon a time, the professor had asked someone to answer the same question. She had an argument with a certain someone in class. The two of them had a verbal battle and debated wantonly. Hence, she became famous.

She was young, but the current Jiang Yi was no longer the Jiang Yi who had yet to leave school.

She looked at the screen, hid the shock in her eyes, and slowly raised her hand.

“Go ahead,” the professor called out.

Jiang Yi slowly stood up. “Eternal life means eternal loneliness.”

The professor’s shocked gaze landed on Jiang Yi, and he did not hide the surprise in his eyes.

“Did you stay in France?”

Jiang Yi slowly shook his head.

“Then you must have a unique understanding of Chinese culture.” The professor seemed to have discovered something new.

Jiang Yi shook his head again. “Not really. I just like it.”

“What’s your name?”

Jiang Yi’s thin lips moved slightly, and only he knew that his body was trembling.

“Jiang… Yi.” She was silent for a second.

When the professor heard this name, the surprise in his eyes intensified. “Your surname is also Jiang? Then do you know the international negotiator, Jiang Fu?”

Jiang Yi’s heart trembled. She was dead, but everyone remembered her in their own way.

“I’ve heard of her.”

Her tone was neither fast nor slow, as if she was talking about someone else’s family.

The professor seemed to have thought of something and was silent for half a minute. He raised his hand and gestured for Jiang Yi to sit down.

When everyone thought that he was going to tell some story, he sighed and stopped.

Jiang Yi sat down and lowered her head so that no one could see her emotions.

“Teacher, are you talking about our senior, the current chief negotiator of the negotiating department, Jiang Fu?”

Someone among the teachers seemed to have heard of Jiang Fu’s name and asked.

The professor nodded.

Before the students could resolve their doubts, the bell rang.

The teacher left after saying that class was over, giving off the feeling that everyone was fleeing in panic.

Jiang Yi sat by the window in the classroom, staring out of the window in a daze.

Her thoughts drifted back to many years ago. Capital University did not have so many tall buildings.

In the past few years, several tall buildings had been built intermittently.

As she was busy with work, how many years had it been since she came back to visit these teachers?

It had probably been a long time.

But even after so long, her teachers still remembered her.

“Jiang Yi…” Zuo Fei’s voice pulled her back to reality.

“Class is over.”

Jiang Yi nodded and packed her things, preparing to leave.

“Jiang Yi…” Zuo Fei did not expect Jiang Yi to be so fast and chased after her.

Hearing his voice, Jiang Yi stopped in her tracks and slowly turned to look at him. “Zuo Fei, I offended you in the past, but now, I hope that we can keep our distance. Can’t you see that many people are looking at us?”

Embarrassment flashed across Zuo Fei’s face. Only then did he see that there were people around them taking photos of them with their phones.

Jiang Yi glanced at him and turned to leave.

As for Zuo Fei, his toes moved slightly as he watched her leave.

A few seconds later, he rushed over with the book in his arms and grabbed Jiang Yi’s arm. “Didn’t you say that other people’s gazes are other people’s gazes? Why should we care?”

“Besides, you and I have a clear conscience, don’t we?”

The love between young people was beautiful. Even if they sat together without saying anything, the feeling of being close to each other was enough to make those uncles and aunties go crazy.

As for Jiang Yi, if he was in his previous life, he might have been one of those crazy people.

She looked at Zuo Fei and was silent for a while.

Just as she was about to say something, a horn at the entrance of the school building suddenly attracted her attention.
