At this moment, Zhai Jing’s survival instinct made him quickly change his words.
“I’m afraid that your legs will be especially sore tomorrow after you climb up and you won’t be able to walk. So, if you can find a more convenient path, you don’t have to climb so many stairs.”
Le Wan still insisted on taking the main road.
“We are here to fulfill our wish. How can we be opportunistic? Give me another five minutes to rest for a while. I’m sure I can climb up too. At most, after climbing up, we’ll take the cable car down. Then, I’ll stay at home for the next few days.”
The old couple looked at each other after hearing their words and said,
“If you want to take a small path, we can take you up.”
Le Wan’s eyes lit up.
“Uncle, Auntie, are you familiar with this area?
If there was a companion and someone to lead the way, the safety factor of taking the small road would increase exponentially.
When the old man heard her address him, he laughed out loud.
“Little girl, you’re so sweet. Calling us uncle and auntie makes us look younger. You can just call us grandpa and grandma.” Le Wan immediately changed her words.
“Hey, hello, Grandpa and Grandma.”
The old man’s smile widened.
“My wife and I climb this mountain every Saturday as a form of exercise, so we’re quite familiar with the area. If you don’t worry, you can come with us.” Le Wan gave them a thumbs up.
“Wow, Grandpa, Grandma, your physical fitness is so good. You climb such a high mountain once a week. With this energy and stamina, you’re much better than me.”
The old lady glanced at Le Wan’s arm which was as thin as a bamboo pole.
“You youngsters are all pursuing thinness and don’t like to exercise. Naturally, your bodies can’t become strong.”
“Sigh, there’s nothing we can do about it. Aren’t people pursuing beauty by being thin nowadays?”
Le Wan followed her gaze and pinched her arm.
The old man turned around and looked at his wife.
“Don’t talk about the young man. Aren’t you afraid of getting fat yourself? And don’t you think I’m fat?”
The old lady saw that he was making things difficult for her and glared at him.
“You’re already so old. If you’re still getting fatter, then the three high-level doctors will follow you.”
The old man wasn’t convinced.
“I’ve been exercising a lot. Where did the ‘three highs’ come from?
Seeing that they were about to start quarreling, Le Wan quickly helped them out.
“It doesn’t matter if you’re fat or thin. The main thing is whether you’re healthy or not. For example, Grandpa and Grandma, you’re so energetic. Even if you’re thin, you’re still lean. One look and you can tell that you’re healthy and happy to live to ninety-nine.”
No one disliked compliments, and neither did the two elders. They quickly became familiar with each other under Le Wan’s warm laughter.
After learning that they were two retired professors from a famous university in the city, Yao Kan and Zhai Lin, Le Wan’s tone became more respectful.
“You guys are students who just finished the college entrance examination, right? Which school did you apply for?”
When Professor Yao saw that Le Wan and Zhai Jing were smart and quick-witted, he had a hunch that their grades wouldn’t be bad.
Professor Yao smiled and said,
“Although the old man has retired for a few years, he can’t stay idle. Coincidentally, the school has a rehiring plan, so I ran back to work. If you apply for our school, I might be able to teach you.”
Professor Zhai echoed,
“That’s right. If you meet him, I’ll get the old man to open a backdoor for you. I guarantee that you won’t fail your subjects.”
Professor Yao glared at her.
“How can you say that? We’re serious about teaching and educating people.
How can we open the back door so casually?”
Although he said that, there was a hint of a smile on his face. It was obvious that they took it as a joke.
Le Wan and Zhai Jing looked at each other.
“If we could meet a good professor like you in university, it would definitely be much easier. Grandpa, you’re so funny. I’m sure your class will be especially interesting and I won’t doze off at all.”
When Professor Yao heard this, he smiled so much that the wrinkles on his face deepened.
“You little girl, you just love to coax people. Don’t think that you’re speaking very well now, but when it comes to class, one or two of you will still doze off when you should.”
“Aiya, please give us some face.” Le Wan furrowed her brows as if she had been tricked. Then, she laughed as well. “So which university did you apply for?” Le Wan smiled shyly.
“We applied for Jing City University.”
Professor Yao and Professor Zhai looked at each other in surprise. Jing City University was the best university in the country..
