“Where did you find it?”
“I don’t know about that.”
Seeing Lin Gantang’s curiosity, Bai Xiaocan started to talk about Teacher Wu’s story.
The old lady in front had already retired, and should have moved out of the school, but considering her lifelong dedication to teaching and her family’s situation, the school specially allocated a dormitory to let her continue living comfortably on campus.
Almost everyone on the school staff was familiar with Teacher Wu’s background.
When Bai Xiaocan told about most of Teacher Wu’s life, all listeners were moved.
“Why didn’t we hear about it when we were at school?” Ye Qiuqiu asked.
Bai Xiaocan resolved her confusion, “It was only in the past couple of years, after journalists came to interview and the news reported on Teacher Wu’s story, that everyone became aware. Teacher Wu had never mentioned it to outsiders; only her close friends knew about it before then.”
Teacher Wu sitting on the stone bench under the tree ahead noticed Bai Xiaocan and smiled at her.
“Teacher Wu.” Bai Xiaocan stepped forward quickly.
“Is your class over?” Teacher Wu asked kindly.
Apparently, Bai Xiaocan knew Teacher Wu.
“Who are these two?”
Bai Xiaocan said with a smile, “I was in the same class with them in high school.”
“Oh, students from our school,” Teacher Wu said kindly, “You came back to visit, right? After graduating, do you all, like Teacher Bai, work in C City?”
Lin Gantang and the others then started chatting with the old teacher.
As the sun set, Teacher Wu said it was time to go feed her cat, so they prepared to say goodbye.
Before parting, Lin Gantang requested, “Teacher Wu, may I take a few photos? Pictures of you and the cat.”
Teacher Wu laughed, “Go ahead, take a few more of Huihui. This cat is so well-behaved and obedient, really endearing, right?”
Lin Gantang gently stroked Huihui’s head, speaking in a very tender voice, “Right, a very cute little cat.”
Ye Qiuqiu didn’t know why Lin Gantang was so interested in the cat they saw earlier. Could it be because she liked cats?
After Lin Gantang finished taking photos, the three of them parted ways with Teacher Wu.
After walking a few steps, Lin Gantang stopped and turned around, just in time to see the cat also looking back.
“Goodbye, little cat,” Lin Gantang waved to it.
Huihui followed Teacher Wu.
“Are you missing Joy?” Ye Qiuqiu remembered the Scottish Fold that might have died in a fire.
Lin Gantang replied, “They look alike, don’t they?”
Ye Qiuqiu didn’t nod, “Though the fur is somewhat similar, Joy was lively, never this tame, and Joy was plump whereas Huihui is only a bit of weight.”
The three walked out of the school, and Lin Gantang received a call from Wen Yanqing.
Seeing her increasingly upturned lips, Ye Qiuqiu nudged her arm after she hung up, teasing, “Yo, whose call was that, putting such a spring in your smile?”
Lin Gantang smiled lightly, “My husband is coming to pick me up.”
Ye Qiuqiu grinned, understanding, “Ah, the newlyweds, inseparable.”
As they left the school gates, Lin Gantang immediately spotted the black car parked at the roadside and the person waiting still in front of it.
He was dressed in white as usual, and on seeing her, he walked towards her step by step.
Under the sunset, his features were clear and distinct.
Lin Gantang suddenly remembered the wait from their youth, how he would wait outside the school again and again, just like today, wearing a white shirt, his eyes tinted with the soft light of dusk, suppressing all his longing deep inside his heart.
Things were different now.
Wen Yanqing could approach her without any hesitation and offer his hand, “Shall we go home?”
Lin Gantang clasped his hand with a radiant smile, “Sounds good.”
