Chapter 618 Returning to Familiar Ground
Due to the spatial properties of the storage bag, it blocks most of the soul power emitted by the Spirit Soul Stone.
Therefore, to make the Purple Flame Palace remnants find him quickly, Fang Yu stuffed this Spirit Soul Stone directly into his pants pocket, rather than the storage bag.
After putting the Spirit Soul Stone in his pocket, Fang Yu remembered that this was Ji Dongshan’s item.
“Keeping this stone in your home will attract some bad people. I’m taking it away, is that okay?” Fang Yu looked at Ji Rumei beside him and asked.
Ji Rumei immediately replied: “If Mr. Fang wants this gem, please take it. My father has many similar collectibles, and if you like them, he would definitely be willing to give them to you.”
“Good, then I won’t be polite.”
Fang Yu nodded and walked outside.
Ji Rumei followed behind Fang Yu, closing each door one by one.
Walking back to the villa’s main entrance, Fang Yu turned his head to look at Ji Rumei and said: “I came to find you just for this matter. Now you can go back to sleep, I’ll be leaving.”
“I usually wake up at this time anyway… no need to go back to sleep,” Ji Rumei said softly.
“Then go to work,” Fang Yu said.
After speaking, Fang Yu turned to leave.
Ji Rumei’s expression was hesitant, then she bit her pink lips and said: “Mr. Fang… do you have any free time in the next few days?”
Fang Yu turned to look at Ji Rumei and asked: “If you have something to say, just say it directly.”
“Three days later is my birthday, and my father is hosting a birthday party for me. I’d like to invite you to attend, if you’re available.” Having said this, Ji Rumei was no longer timid and looked straight at Fang Yu.
“Birthday party… we’ll see. If I haven’t left Jiangnan by then, and I don’t have anything else to do, I’ll come,” Fang Yu said.
“Yes! Then I’ll be waiting for your visit at home.” Ji Rumei’s smile bloomed like a pear blossom.
“I’m leaving now,” Fang Yu turned and left.
Ji Rumei watched Fang Yu’s departing figure, her beautiful eyes with pupils as black as obsidian, shining brightly.
…
After leaving the Ji family, Fang Yu didn’t return directly to Xiang City.
He hadn’t seen Wang Yan and Yu Yueyue for nearly half a year. During his previous calls with Wang Yan, she had asked him to come back to Jiang City to see them.
So, at nine o’clock in the morning, Fang Yu arrived at Lijiang Residential Complex.
This apartment was a gift from Tang Mingde, which Fang Yu had later given to Wang Yan and her son.
Having lived there for a period of time, Fang Yu still remembered the floor of this apartment.
The elevator stopped at the twenty-eighth floor, and Fang Yu came to the apartment door and pressed the doorbell.
The doorbell rang for a few seconds before footsteps sounded inside, and the door opened.
“Aunt Wang, long time no see,” Fang Yu smiled.
“Xiao Yu! It’s you!” Wang Yan exclaimed with delight, “Come in quickly!”
Fang Yu entered the apartment and sat down on the sofa.
Wang Yan immediately busied herself with the teapot and hot water, making tea for Fang Yu.
“Fang Yu, why didn’t you tell me in advance that you were coming back? I haven’t prepared anything,” Wang Yan said while making tea.
“What preparations are needed? I’m not some important person,” Fang Yu said.
“I should prepare meals for you! You haven’t had my cooking for a long time,” Wang Yan gave Fang Yu a glance and said.
“That’s true… but it’s still early, you can go buy groceries later,” Fang Yu said.
“Yes, today I’ll definitely make you lots of delicious food,” Wang Yan smiled.
“Where’s Yueyue? Has she gone to class?” Fang Yu asked.
“It’s Sunday today, she’s still sleeping in! I’ll wake her up right away.” Wang Yan finished preparing the teapot and was about to go upstairs.
“No need to wake her up, I’m not leaving anytime soon,” Fang Yu said.
“No, she should be up by now. She’s in her third year of high school and still sleeping in all the time, how can that be?” Wang Yan muttered as she went upstairs.
Soon, there was a knocking sound.
“Yueyue, get up! It’s already nine o’clock!” Wang Yan called loudly.
“Mmm… let me sleep for another half hour, just half an hour…” From inside the room came Yu Yueyue’s drowsy voice.
“Your Brother Fang Yu is here! Are you still going to sleep?” Wang Yan said.
“I’m really tired… What!?” Yu Yueyue’s tone suddenly rose, followed by the sound of feet hitting the floor.
“Click!”
Yu Yueyue opened the door, eyes wide, and asked: “Brother Fang Yu is really here?”
“He’s downstairs,” Wang Yan said.
Yu Yueyue glanced downstairs, saw Fang Yu sitting on the sofa drinking tea, and her face immediately lit up with a smile as she ran down.
“Brother Fang Yu!”
Yu Yueyue, wearing cartoon pajamas and slippers, almost threw herself at Fang Yu.
“Brother Fang Yu, you finally came back!” Yu Yueyue exclaimed excitedly, holding onto Fang Yu’s left arm.
“Yes, I didn’t have much to do recently, so I thought I’d come back for a visit,” Fang Yu replied.
“Do you know? I had a dream the night before last that you came back… and now you really have!” Yu Yueyue said.
“Alright, go wash up and change your clothes. Your Brother Fang Yu isn’t going to run away,” Wang Yan said, coming down from upstairs.
Yu Yueyue only then realized she hadn’t brushed her teeth or washed her face. Her cheeks reddened as she quickly let go and said to Fang Yu: “Brother Fang Yu, please wait a moment.”
“Go ahead,” Fang Yu said.
Yu Yueyue bounced upstairs.
“This girl has been talking about you every day for the past six months… she’s really happy you’re here,” Wang Yan said.
Fang Yu nodded and asked: “How are her grades?”
“Not bad, I heard she ranks in the top three in the advanced class,” Wang Yan said.
“That’s good,” Fang Yu nodded.
After sitting for a while longer, Wang Yan went out to buy groceries.
Fang Yu walked to the balcony and looked at the scenery outside.
Compared to the recent chaos in Nandu, although Jiang City was less developed in various aspects than Nandu, it had a stronger sense of everyday life.
This was why Fang Yu had lived in Jiang City for several years.
“Brother Fang Yu.”
At this moment, Yu Yueyue, now dressed in a blue dress with her hair tied up, walked up behind Fang Yu.
Fang Yu turned around to look at Yu Yueyue and said: “I heard your grades are very good.”
“Not really… I usually only get second or third place in exams… I can’t compare to you at all, Brother Fang Yu,” Yu Yueyue said, lowering her head.
“You shouldn’t try to compare yourself with me, because I’m not normal,” Fang Yu said. “Being in the top three of the advanced class is already very good. At least getting into a top ten university in the country shouldn’t be a problem.”
“Yes! I’ve been working hard! I want to get into Nandu University and be your schoolmate!” Yu Yueyue said firmly.
“Uh…”
On this point, Fang Yu felt a bit awkward.
He had already resigned from his position as a visiting professor at Nandu University, so even if Yu Yueyue got into Nandu University, she wouldn’t become Fang Yu’s schoolmate.
“What’s wrong, Brother Fang Yu?” Yu Yueyue noticed Fang Yu’s expression wasn’t quite right and asked with confusion.
“Nothing, I just wanted to say that your goal should be Jing University, since it’s ranked as the number one university in the Nine Provinces,” Fang Yu said.
“Jing University… but you’re not there, Brother Fang Yu…” Yu Yueyue said, eyes wide.
“Actually, I’ve already left Nandu University,” Fang Yu considered for a moment and decided to tell the truth.
“What!?” Yu Yueyue was stunned, clearly not understanding what Fang Yu meant.
“Because I have many things to do recently and can’t attend classes, I dropped out,” Fang Yu said.
“Dropped out…” Yu Yueyue was still a bit dazed.
“That’s why I’m telling you to aim for Jing University. With your grades, you definitely have a chance to get in,” Fang Yu patted Yu Yueyue’s shoulder and said.
Yu Yueyue looked up at Fang Yu, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Disappointment was secondary; she mainly thought it was such a waste.
Fang Yu had scored so high on the college entrance exam, but ended up dropping out like this.
Wang Yan had instilled in Yu Yueyue from a young age that knowledge changes destiny.
Therefore, university was a very important stepping stone that affected one’s future life.
Fang Yu dropping out like this seemed like a wrong choice in Yu Yueyue’s eyes.
“Brother Fang Yu, why don’t you come back and repeat a year…” Yu Yueyue looked at Fang Yu and said.
