After Rebirth, the Celebrity Daughter is the Medical Expert!-Chapter 178 - 119: A Lifetime of Tenderness Is Only Enough for One Person
On the day Ning Youguang and his companions left Boston, Shi Wangyue and Zhuang Yijing personally came to see them off.
Oh, and also Yun Ze Wu.
He willingly took on the role of a driver just to blend into the group.
"Thank you, Shi Wang, for being so kind and preparing so many things for us."
The bustling Boston airport.
Professor Yu smiled as he looked at the exceptionally refined and handsome young man beside him.
Shi Wangyue was pushing the luggage cart, which was filled with delicately packaged gift boxes, all gifts he and Yun Ze Wu had just taken from the car to bring back to the professor and others.
"We didn’t even get a chance to have a simple meal with you. If you keep being so polite, we’ll feel embarrassed," Shi Wangyue said with a gentle smile while staying close to Professor Yu, helping with the luggage and carrying bags.
His attitude was obedient and endearing, just like a junior in Professor Yu’s family. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮
This left Yun Ze Wu, standing nearby, quite amazed.
"Next time you return to China, remember to come to the University of Science and Technology. By then, Xiao Ning and I will take you around our campus, as well as some must-see places in the capital."
"Professor, it’s settled then. I’ll make sure to visit the University of Science and Technology as soon as I get back."
"All right, all right," Professor Yu replied with a beaming smile.
Beside them.
Zhuang Yijing held Ning Youguang’s arm, her exquisitely beautiful face full of reluctance: "Darling, being with you always brings me such joy."
Ning Youguang smiled, "Same here."
"Are you planning to stay in the capital from now on, not returning to Jincheng?"
"Not necessarily, at least for now."
Zhuang Yijing’s mood dipped a little.
"I’m planning to return to China in a few months too. The old man Zhuang has been urging me for a while."
"Returning to China sounds good." Ning Youguang smiled.
In her past life, Zhuang Yijing returned to China around this time, though she wasn’t sure about certain parts now.
If unsure, she’d rather not bring it up casually.
She was very patient and good at waiting, waiting for the day when everything becomes certain.
Having been reborn, her biggest fear was interfering in others’ destinies too easily, resulting in some having a less fulfilling life than before.
Fortunately, so far, things seemed to be going well.
Zhuang Yijing’s spirits dipped for a moment but then she regained her smile, "Yes, I actually want to go back myself. It’ll be easier to see you then."
...
Before boarding the plane.
Zhuang Yijing received a phone call, had something urgent, and drove off.
Shi Wangyue insisted on staying until Ning Youguang and the others boarded before leaving.
In the waiting room, beside the large floor-to-ceiling windows.
He gazed at the sunlight dancing above her head, his deep eyes filled with a delicate light, and gently said, "Once I’ve handled things better here, I’ll return."
Ning Youguang looked at him with a bright smile, "I think you’re great just the way you are now."
So there’s no need for anything better.
Shi Wangyue slightly lowered his gaze, "So, Youyou, are you satisfied with who I am now?"
Knowing his issues with his original family, he always feared not doing well enough and constantly wished to be better.
Ning Youguang’s heart felt a faint pang of sorrow, but she maintained her smile, her voice warm and comforting, "You’ve always been my pride."
Shi Wangyue looked into her clear eyes overflowing with admiration, his voice slightly hoarse, "Hmm."
The airport broadcast was announcing for passengers on the flight from Boston to the Huaguo Capital to proceed with boarding.
Shi Wangyue’s hands, placed by his sides, tightened and relaxed.
In the end, he couldn’t resist the urge within.
He looked up, smiling brightly at the girl in front of him, and said in a deliberately light tone, "Zhuang Yijing just hugged you for quite a while. Can I also have a farewell hug?"
Ning Youguang naturally didn’t refuse.
Those who are honest at heart do everything with integrity.
Embracing her tightly, Shi Wangyue looked at her dark hair and sighed deeply in his heart.
"When you land, send me a WeChat message to let me know you’ve arrived home safely."
"Okay."
...
On the way back from the airport.
Shi Wangyue was focused on driving.
The usually talkative Yun Ze Wu was uncharacteristically silent, silently observing him with a particularly deep gaze.
Shi Wangyue was someone who took everything he did very seriously and with full attention.
He had already sensed Yun Ze Wu’s gaze on him, but he didn’t turn to look at him.
After a long while, Yun Ze Wu sighed softly, "You probably can’t see how gentle your expression is right now."
Shi Wangyue’s slightly upturned lips slightly pressed down, though a smile still lingered around his eyes and brows.
Yun Ze Wu’s gaze grew even more complex.
He recalled the memories of these years with him, feeling like he had watched this young friend beside him grow from a teenager to his current self.
Yet, he hadn’t expected to one day witness this side of him.
Like a long-frozen mountain constantly shrouded in a cloudy sky, suddenly one day, the clouds above cleared, pierced by vibrant sunlight, revealing dazzling golden light, warm yet overwhelming.
Just like how he was in front of that girl.
Over the years, as MM achieved more and more in the industry, the amount of social engagements he had with the young man increased. People outside often described Mr. Shi as a gentleman of remarkable grace and elegance, a model of social etiquette in every word and action.
But only by being close could one notice that although his smiles were always elegant and charming in public, the curve of his mouth was always identical, like mass-produced, lacking any emotional coloration.
Whenever attending important events, he habitually wore glasses.
The young friend, blessed with good looks, appeared even more cultured and meticulous with glasses on, making him more convincing during business discussions.
However, he knew that under those glasses, the young friend’s eyes often resembled arctic glaciers, cold and unyielding.
He often felt that he was like an outsider, disconnected from the world around him, always assuming it was just his nature.
After all, geniuses are often seen to possess peculiarities; otherwise, how could they be called geniuses?
Not until a few days ago, when that strikingly beautiful girl appeared, did he realize that he didn’t understand him well enough.
In the girl’s presence, he was entirely different, soft and relaxed, as gentle as an April breeze in a woodland.
His deep eyes were no longer an unseen abyss; rather, they were like a well brimming with spring water, overflowing with warmth that could drown a person.
So, it turned out that in this world, some people truly are innately indifferent, with a lifetime of gentleness meant for only one person.
"What does it feel like to have a crush on someone?" Yun Ze Wu was quite curious.
Hearing his question, Shi Wangyue, who had been silent, suddenly smiled.
He said, "Actually, having a crush isn’t so bad. It’s not only a shallow emotional attachment but also my own belief."
In the quiet car, the young man’s deep voice carried a lingering tenderness that Yun Ze Wu had never heard before.
The sunlight filtered through the overlapping leaves above the car, casting faint, gently swaying halos inside.
Within these halos, the young man, as picturesque as a painted portrait, smiled brilliantly, looking exceptionally pleasing.
Yun Ze Wu glanced at him, then at the sunlight outside, and smiled too.
The way sunlight awakens everything to glittering life always leaves people’s hopes without regret.
