Chapter 215
Ji Chu was not a person of lasting affection.
In fact, he had always been cold-hearted and emotionally detached. He cut ties with his biological parents without hesitation; even when Yu's Father and Yu's Mother became his adoptive parents, he only repaid them financially. Despite being young and accomplished, with a gentle demeanor and engaging teaching style, he remained solitary, without a single close friend.
But Jiang Yan was different from the beginning.
Initially, she was someone little Ji Chu looked up to. Later, during their teenage years, their companionship led to a possessive desire. After she left, Ji Chu closed himself off again, his feelings for Jiang Yan turning into an obsession born from a mixture of admiration and loss.
...
Jiang Yan's revival was inexplicable. Ji Chu later checked the school's surveillance footage but couldn't find any clues. Jiang Yan had simply appeared out of nowhere.
Ji Chu had never been superstitious.
But Jiang Yan had truly returned, alive and vibrant, living in his room, able to playfully banter with him.
From that moment, he felt blessed by the heavens.
Ji Chu used to be the younger brother, the one who would act spoiled and show weakness, a fresh-faced boy in a white shirt.
But when Jiang Yan suddenly reappeared after several years, Ji Chu had grown into a professor with broad shoulders and a slim waist, the very picture of elegant masculinity.
Once he realized Jiang Yan was real and that he wasn't ill, Ji Chu resumed working at the university, as he needed to earn money to support their household.
Oh, and that abandoned car? He brought it back too.
From then on, everything in Ji Chu's life gained new meaning.
Ji Chu looked up with a smile and said, "What's this? Are you allowed to secretly date in class, but I'm not allowed to exchange a few words with my wife?"
The classroom erupted in noise, accompanied by waves of surprise.
Jiang Yan was truly beautiful, her dark eyes gazing out like those of an exquisitely crafted doll. However, compared to Ji Chu, she appeared quite small.
A student who had planned to ask for her WeChat persisted, calling out, "Professor, didn't you say you and your wife were childhood sweethearts?"
Ji Chu frowned, "Why weren't you this enthusiastic during the lecture? Is it not allowed for my wife to look youthful?"
The student, recognizing the hint, replied tactfully, "The professor's wife indeed looks young and beautiful, almost our age."
Ji Chu was about to say something more when Jiang Yan tugged at his clothes, smiling as she called him, "Teacher?"
Ji Chu fell silent.
As the bell rang, for the first time, Ji Chu left the classroom hand in hand with his wife, ahead of all the students.
Face to face, the first batch of students who had heard Ji Chu's stories about his first love had already graduated.
As those in the know gradually decreased, and Ji Chu later appeared so calm, speaking of past events with such happiness, anyone who mentioned the news of the professor's wife's death was considered a rumor-monger.
The new students were unaware of the once tragic ending.
They only saw the professor happily holding his wife's hand, leaving the classroom ahead of them.
They ultimately had their happy ending.
