Chapter 359 - 6 Sweet Nothings
They had initially thought Yang Xiaoli was unwilling to talk much about Qi Sheng, but then they heard her slowly say, "He graduated from Qingmu University. He could have had a better future, but he chose to stay and become an unknown high school teacher."
Qingmu University!?
Lin Xiaoguai and Zhu Huixi were somewhat shocked. Qingmu University, known for its strength in the sciences, on par with Capital University?
It didn’t show at all.
He seemed so ordinary, even, Qi Sheng didn’t carry the arrogance of a prestigious university graduate. It would be more accurate to say his nature was gentle than mild, no, more precisely, it seemed like the edges of his personality had been worn away by reality. Yet, there wasn’t the slightest hint of slickness about him, as if he truly was a good-natured high school teacher.
Involuntarily, both of them started to think that this Qi Sheng was perhaps not so ordinary after all.
They talked about a lot of things, including Lin Xiaoguai’s hardships during her quadruplet pregnancy, the numerous twists and turns of building a farm, Zhu Huixi also shared her long-standing anxiety of being childless, the gender discrimination she faced at work, Yang Xiaoli then spoke of how she had made up her mind to start her own business, and how she had struggled to save up the initial startup capital...
At that moment, it felt as if they had returned to their school days, where every sorrow and joy were shared with someone.
