Tan Ron came back from washing her hands and met Professor Zhong at the staircase.
The two of them looked at each other. Tan Ron laughed out loud. She crossed her arms and said to Professor Zhong, âItâs been a few years since we last met. Why are you blind and lame, old classmate?â
âOld classmate?â Li Li opened her mouth in surprise. âRourou, youâre classmates with this old man?â
Professor Zhong narrowed his eyes and looked at her. Tears fell from his turbid eyes. âLong time no see, little girl. 1 didnât expect to meet you here.â
Director Li, who came with him, was confused. âMr. Zhong, is this really your old classmate?â
âI may not have good eyesight, but Iâm not completely blind,â Professor Zhong said unhappily. âHow could 1 not recognize her?â
Tan Rou walked to Professor Zhongâs side. âWhy are you here? Is it because of the physics competition?â
âYes.â Professor Zhong said, âIâm getting on in my years. 1 want to take advantage of my limited time to walk around. It just so happens that the National Physics Competition is about to be held, so I came to see if there are any good seedlings. I just happened to come to your city, and happened to be able to meet you.â
âIt is indeed a coincidence.â Tan Rou said, âIf it wasnât for the fact that the exercises were leaked, you probably wouldnât have visited our school.â Speaking of which, I still have to thank Director Wang.â
Director Li was embarrassed. âThe bureau will definitely investigate and give a clear explanation about this.â
âRourouâ¦â Mr. Tao saw that his daughter had not returned for a long time, so he came to look for her. In the end, he met Professor Zhongâs gaze.
The two of them had a tacit understanding and did not say anything unnecessary.
âDad, let me introduce you.â Tan Rou took the initiative to mention Professor Zhong. âThis is my friend. He is Mr Zhong.â
Mr. Tao extended his hand. âHello, Mr. Zhong.â
âOh, oh.â Professor Zhong shook his hand. âHello, hello!â
Both men shook hands with each other.
Mr. Tao was very perceptive. He could tell that his daughter had something to say to the old man, so he suggested that he go and chat with the principal and even took Li Li away. Professor Zhong also got his men to leave, he had something to say to Tan Rou.
âHave you been staying here for the past two years? Back then, I heard that there was an accident and your brain was damaged. Are you okay now?â Professor Zhong asked with concern.
âIâve fully recovered now.â Tan Rou omitted the matter of her rebirth and only said that she had recovered.
âI guessed so too,â Professor Zhong said. âIf your brain was still working, they would never let you go so easily. Now that youâve recovered, are you going back?â
Tan Rou looked at her fatherâs tall back in the distance. She smiled and shook her head. âNo. I would like to stay with my family.â
Professor Zhong followed her gaze and saw Tan Ronâs father, teachers, and classmates. He understood Tan Ronâs choice. âWell, this is the world filled with normal people. Itâs right for you not to go back.â
âDonât talk about me.â Tan Rou stretched out her hand. âLet me take a look at you. You donât look well.â
âWell, all of us will turn old and die soon.â
âNonsense.â Tan Rou didnât like to hear him talk about âdeath.â âYou old monster. You can still live on for another decade.â
Professor Zhongâs health was not that bad, but his legs and eyes were not very good. His legs were caused by old age, and his eyes seemed to be caused by injuries.
âYour number.â Tan Rou took out her phone. âLetâs keep in touch and Iâll send you a prescription for your condition.â
The old man took out his phone. âSure! Letâs talk later.â
Tan Rou added him as a friend and said, âOld man, 1 hope you can keep my matter a secret. I already have a family that I need to protect and love. If those people find out that Iâve fully recovered, they will definitely come and destroy mylife. I donât want my family to get hurt.â
Professor Zhong glanced at Mr. Tao and thought to himself, âYouâre his daughter. How could he allow anyone to hurt you?â
But, he didnât say much and only answered with a simple reply, âOf course.â
âWell, thatâs it. Letâs talk later.â
âWhat do you plan to do? How are you going to deal with those people?â Professor Zhong asked out of curiosity.
Tan Rou turned around and gave him a sweet smile. âOf course, weâll settle the scores together. Iâll settle the old and new scores together. I wonât let anyone off that easily.â
Professor Zhong nodded. âThatâs fair. Youâve never been someone simple.â
âMy father is still waiting for me. Iâlm going to leave first.â Tan Rou jogged over to her father.
Professor Zhong was in a good mood. He had found an old friend and was very satisfied to see her living a healthy and happy life..
