After Rebirth, the Celebrity Daughter is the Medical Expert!-Chapter 171 - 114: Her Boy, Finally Becoming Himself
In the bustling lobby of the Hanke Hotel.
An oriental girl in a red strapless dress, her meticulously carved face without makeup, only wearing lipstick, yet her complexion was so fair and delicate that, against the backdrop of the red dress, every gesture and movement became the most stunning scenery in the eyes of others.
The black suit gently draped over her shoulders did not cover even a bit of her brilliance, but instead added a touch of allure that was even more intriguing.
After taking just a few steps, Shi Wangyue paused, softly asking, "Do you want to go upstairs and change into more comfortable clothes and shoes?"
Ning Youguang also noticed the frequent glances of those around her and nodded, "Sure."
So the two turned and walked toward the elevators.
While waiting for the elevator, Shi Wangyue discreetly shielded her from being bumped by others, smiling as he asked, "Is there anywhere you want to go later?"
"You decide, I don’t mind the time or place, even if it’s a bit far. The weather is so nice, and we haven’t seen each other for ages."
Her posture was casual, graceful as a painting.
"Okay."
Shi Wangyue lowered his eyes slightly and smiled.
What to do?
He felt as if a small deer was beginning to run wild in his heart again.
...
While Ning Youguang was changing clothes in the bathroom.
Professor Yu leaned against the door of the hotel room, looking at the extraordinary young man before her, smiling as she said, "As I expected, being friends with Ning means you’re not typical."
The young man, full of noble spirit, gave a gentle smile, "Thank you for your praise. Youyou just loves to speak well of others."
The amusement in Professor Yu’s eyes grew more apparent, "I know my student. She never speaks without reason. If she says you’re outstanding, you must be exceptional in some way."
She crossed her arms leaning by the door, exuding an unintentional and distinctive aura in her every move.
This was the quality of someone with great inner depth.
The young man slightly bowed, his exquisitely handsome face full of humility, "I dare not claim that title, but I often hear from Youyou about how much you have taken care of her. Meeting you today is my honor. However, as soon as I received news of Youyou coming to Boston, I rushed to the hotel and didn’t have time to prepare a gift for you. I apologize for that and hope you give me another chance next time to properly welcome you."
Professor Yu waved her hand nonchalantly, "I don’t care for such things. Meeting you is enough."
The young man straightened his posture, smiling apologetically, "As long as you don’t mind, Professor. I’m always worried I’ll lack courtesy, which troubles me."
Professor Yu continued to smile, "I don’t mind, and you shouldn’t worry either. Just have fun with Little Ning later."
At that moment, Ning Youguang, having finished changing her clothes, happened to walk out of the room.
She was holding a chaotic pile of things—a half-open bag, an unworn coat, and a hair tie that hadn’t been used yet.
Upon seeing this, the young man immediately stepped forward, took the coat and bag from her hands, and freed her hands.
The coat was naturally hung over his arm, and the bag was tidily closed after some simple adjustments.
His actions were fluid, as if he had done this many times for the person before him in the past.
Professor Yu watched from the side, her eyes narrowing with a smile, and said meaningfully, "Youth is truly wonderful." After her sentiment, she asked the young man, "Have you and Little Ning been old friends for many years?"
The young man, having tidied up everything in his hands, replied, "Yes, Professor. Youyou and I grew up together until I went to study abroad after graduating high school. Before that, we went to school, came home, ate, and attended supplementary classes together, sharing the same desk."
Professor Yu continued smiling, "No wonder you both seem so in tune with each other. Hasn’t it been six or seven years since you left?"
The young man straightened up slightly and responded obediently, "Yes, Professor."
"Do you plan to return to the country in the future?"
"Yes, I intend to return after gaining enough experience here."
"Very good, very good." Intelligence and satisfaction gleamed in Professor Yu’s eyes.
...
Since Ning Youguang had to attend a dinner party in the evening, the two did not go elsewhere but found a secluded booth in the hotel café.
The Hanke Hotel café was located on the 68th floor of the hotel, with quite a nice environment.
The waiter brought over two cups of coffee.
Shi Wangyue handed the sugar-free cup to the person opposite, asking gently:
"Why didn’t you send me a message earlier so I could pick you up?"
"I was going to, but I wanted to surprise you," Ning Youguang smiled, "We had someone to pick us up."
"Us?"
"Yes, you and Yi Jing."
"Oh," Shi Wangyue lowered his head, "We don’t communicate much. I hear she’s doing well."
"I thought you were old classmates, being in the same city abroad would lead to more communication," Ning Youguang couldn’t help but feel a tinge of nostalgia at this.
Clearly, in a previous life, the two of them knew each other first.
In the past life, her introduction was the reason they met.
How is it that in this life, the two of them seem not to be very close?
"No, we’re both quite busy. Sometimes we meet, but it’s usually for business." When the young man talked about the other person, the deepness in his eyes evidently turned colder.
But because he lowered his head, Ning Youguang couldn’t see it.
Then, he changed the subject, "How long will you be staying in Boston?"
"Four days."
"That short?" Shi Wangyue felt a sense of loss in his heart, although he didn’t show it on his face.
So many years.
He was too eager for an answer.
For that answer, he wanted a prestigious degree, instant erudition.
He wanted to be spirited and high-spirited.
He wanted to walk towards the one he loved, shining with golden light, full of glory.
Until now, after hurriedly meeting her.
He couldn’t control the fear that arose in his heart.
She was too exquisite, so perfect that everything in the world pales in comparison.
So, he was afraid, afraid that all he had now was still not enough.
Afraid that if he rushed, he would fail.
Looking at the familiar yet more ethereal face in front of him, he thought of that summer seven years ago.
He cautiously probed, asking her, "How can I get everything I want?"
She said, "Xiao Wangyue, the most beautiful things in the world require patience, you have to endure the ever-extended timeline, diligently put in enough effort, heap them together in the profound and obscure time, and only then might destiny be willing to deliver everything ’you want’ to your hands little by little."
He used to be too young.
When he discovered he loved someone, he wished he could immediately give her everything he had.
But in the dead of night, when he counted.
He realized that apart from all his passion and a whole heart, he had nothing.
Such a person like him, how could he deserve to have the best girl in the world?
So, later.
Even if he had to endure the heart-wrenching longing and the pain of separation, he wanted to go overseas to amass more chips for himself.
He understood from a young age the principle of accumulating grain widely and proclaiming king slowly, and he had been practicing it all along.
Just like how he liked money and wanted to save it, he would put money from wherever it came into his pocket, piece by piece, save it until it was enough, and then find every way to maximize its profit.
Six years have passed, and they have both matured.
He seemed to be doing okay, but she was always dazzling.
Her brilliance is unforgettable.
When he saw her at the hotel, his heart instantly clenched.
A question uncontrollably rolled in his mind.
"Am I now worthy to match up to you?"
This was the question he desperately sought to verify while struggling alone abroad over these years.
However, now the person who could answer him was so close.
Yet he didn’t dare to ask.
...
Shi Wangyue’s concerns were not something Ning Youguang understood.
She only knew that she was very happy to see the child.
She had endless unspoken thoughts, irrepressible joy, and endless topics to share.
"Talk about your daily life," she said.
"Haven’t I often shared with you?" He chuckled.
"Not enough." She shook her head.
"Recently, I..." The depth in the young man’s eyes showed a hint of helplessness, yet he obediently started talking about what he was doing and his daily life.
His voice was warm, his eyes and brows carried a smile.
The content was detailed and precise as if cautiously reporting to a superior.
Ning Youguang listened with a smile in her eyes, feeling as if they were back in the past.
Back then, they talked about everything, honest and trusting with each other.
But now, they both knew how real these nearly 2000 days and nights of separation were between them.
The person was still the person in front of him.
But the matters were no longer the past matters.
In those years not together.
They seemed to be leveling up in a game, or refining elixirs.
Years of not seeing each other, they’ve conquered many life stages, the elixirs were refined, sedimented within them, although not something to be shown anytime, it altered the aura between them greatly compared to before.
Listening to his logically sound and distinctly arranged sharing of his daily life.
She thought, "It’s so good, during the days apart, we haven’t wasted time, each of us in our own world, silently progressing, shining brightly, moving toward the world of our dreams."
She felt this power was subtle yet magnificent.
As if an invisible force was pulling her forward.
Her young man had finally become himself.
Shining brightly, from the inside out. 1314
