Chapter 143: Chapter 138 Farewell_i

“What a shame…”

When they were parting ways after the meal, Sun Yao Huo voiced his regret, “I just took out a loan to open a hot pot restaurant. I was planning to invite my junior to try it out once it opens, but it seems like you’ll be setting off to Qi Continent by the end of this month, won’t you?”

“You have me!”

Lin Xuan’s eyes brightened instantly.

Sun Yao Huo hurriedly nodded, “Of course, my sister can come over anytime. I’ll inform the manager, as long as you’re willing to come, it’s always free. I’ll send you the address later; we’re opening at the end of next month, you can come over then!”

“I’ll be counting on you.”

Lin Xuan replied happily. As for being called ‘sister’ by Sun Yao Huo, she didn’t correct him. Even though Sun Yao Huo might be older than her, calling her sister didn’t seem to be a problem. After all, she didn’t exactly look her age; what was there to fear from a mere title?

“Also…”

Sun Yao Huo laughed, “I also own a milk tea shop and a breakfast shop. I can also take you to try those. In the future, feel free to bring people over. It’s all free of charge. After all, I’m good friends with junior!”

“I will come back to eat.”

Lin Yuan nodded, feeling a bit regretful about not being able to savor the hot pot immediately. He believed Brother Sun’s hot pot restaurant must be excellent, for Brother Sun has a profound understanding of gourmet food and he can always find the best restaurants in Su City.

Sun Yao Huo was invigorated.

Lin Yuan did not deny their relationship, indicating that the junior Lin Yuan also believed they had a good relationship. When junior sets off, he should definitely see him off at the airport to strengthen their friendship!

Speaking of which.

When Lin Yuan returned home after bidding Senior Sun Yao Huo goodbye, he indeed felt a twinge of separation anxiety.

Having been together for so long, it feels strange to suddenly part for a whole semester.

In the following days.

This feeling of separation grew stronger and stronger.

Xia Fan also found time between her various work commitments to have a gathering with Lin Yuan. It really wasn’t easy for her to find time given how her career is just getting started.

In addition.

As a Starlight artist, Jiang Kui got to know about Admirable Fish’s plan for Qi Continent from some colleagues.

Admirable Fish is a new talent in Qin Continent’s music scene.

Among all the musicians in Qin Continent, most only collaborated with Admirable Fish once.

Only Jiang Kui and Sun Yao Huo got a second-time collaboration with Lin Yuan.

In fact, Jiang Kui even got to collaborate with Lin Yuan for the second time before Sun Yao Huo did.

No one knew if there would be a third time.

But upon hearing that Admirable Fish was leaving, Jiang Kui immediately invited Lin Yuan for a meal and also gifted him a meticulously prepared present.

“What’s this?”

Lin Yuan was curious.

Jiang Kui replied somewhat embarrassingly, “I recently learned some pastry skills. I baked these egg yolk pastries just before I stepped out…”

Lin Yuan’s eyes lit up.

Ice cream and Pudding are his favorites.

However, egg yolk pastries aren’t bad either!

The pastries looked pretty round and seemed very delicate.

He happily accepted the gift, then dutifully expressed his thanks.

“There’s egg yolk inside, correct?”

“Yes, I’ve used salted egg yolk. I’m not sure if that suits your taste.”

“I love egg yolk, both chicken and duck egg yolk, they’re both delicious.” 𝑓𝓻ℯ𝑒𝑤𝘦𝑏𝑛ℴ𝓋ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝓸𝓂

When Lin Yuan used to eat mooncakes, he always chose the one with egg yolk. He would always have a fierce competition with his sister, but most of the time, they would just share it – half for each.

His sister would eat the egg yolk.

Lin Yuan would eat the other parts.

Being able to enjoy salted egg yolk by himself today, what could be more delightful than this?

“I’m glad you like it.”

Seeing Lin Yuan so excited, Jiang Kui clenched her fist in secret.

Her relationship with Lin Yuan wasn’t as close as Sun Yao Huo’s, so she had been worried that this meeting might seem a little abrupt.

This gift was also something she had mulled over for a long time.

Since Teacher Admirable Fish’s songs are so popular, he must not be short of money.

If he doesn’t lack money, he certainly wouldn’t care about it much and wouldn’t have high pursuits on the material level.

Even if she got him a gift worth tens of thousands, such as tea leaves, Teacher Admirable Fish might not be thrilled.

He might even feel that she was vulgar, no different from those others who tried hard to curry favor with him –

Like Sun Yao Huo.

But the egg yolk pastry was different!

Although it was cheap, it was full of sincerity. Teacher Admirable Fish will certainly realize that she had put a lot of thought into it!

Sun Yao Huo!

Sorry, this time, I won again!

Jiang Kui couldn’t help but feel a bit triumphant, but at the same time, she also felt a bit regretful.

She had initially planned to gradually interact with Teacher Admirable Fish more, but things didn’t go as planned. Because she was too slow, Teacher Admirable Fish was already about to head off to Qi Continent. Once he left, she wouldn’t be able to see him for a long period of time.

This was something she couldn’t accept.

When Teacher Admirable Fish returned, she needed to find a way to spend more time with him, and couldn’t let senior Sun Yaohuo continue having the upper hand.

That guy was just too vulgar in his thoughts, and had no idea about what Teacher Admirable Fish truly desired!

Parting sorrow often led to sentimentality, and Lin Yuan felt somewhat sentimental because the next day, he once again skipped work.

Not for any particular reason.

He was merely off to the Qin Art piano room, to play the piano once more.

Before he even reached the school, Lin Yuan received another phone call from 01′ Zhou: “Why didn’t you come to work again today?”

Lin Yuan replied: “I went out for some inspiration.”

01′ Zhou sighed heavily: “You can’t always use that excuse. What if someone other than me checks on you at work today? This excuse might not be valid.”

Lin Yuan gave another reason: “I went out to gather some materials.”

01′ Zhou was silent for a while, and then somberly replied: “How is that any different from your previous excuse?”

Lin Yuan answered: “I changed two words.”

01′ Zhou:

I can’t bother arguing with you. Anyway, even if another person checks at work, they will eventually report back to me.

With this thought, 01′ Zhou helplessly gave in: “Ok then, I got it.”

“Thank you.”

Lin Yuan ended the call.

He had just arrived at the school gate.

Even though it was vacation time, the school gate remained open, with a guard stationed there. After a few exchanges, where he confirmed his student status, the guard readily let him in.

When walking to the piano room corridor.

Lin Yuan was still deciding on the best room when suddenly he heard a surprised voice from far away: “Lin Yuan!”

He turned his head and saw that it was Gu Xi!

Running into Gu Xi could only mean trouble.

However, since Gu Xi had helped the composition department last time, Lin Yuan did not brush her off. He simply nodded and said: “Hello.”

Gu Xi rushed up to him: “Are you here to play the piano?”

Lin Yuan replied: “I won’t get the chance to play here next semester.”

Gu Xi paused momentarily before catching on: “You are going to be an exchange student!”

Lin Yuan didn’t deny.

Gu Xi was immediately struck with despair!

She also received an exchange student slot, but she refused because she was afraid that once she went to Qi Continent, she would not see Lin Yuan. In a shocking turn of events, Lin Yuan was actually going to be an exchange student!

If only she had known earlier, she would also have gone to Qi Continent!

She was so anxious she didn’t know what to do. After a long hesitation, she finally asked: “How long will you be playing here?”

“I’m not sure.”

“Could you please wait for me for a bit? I’ll be back very quickly. Please don’t leave!”

“Make it quick.”

Lin Yuan did not know why she wanted him to wait, but he didn’t ask. He simply walked into the piano room and began to play the piano.

Gu Xi took out her mobile phone.

And quickly dashed off.

Once outside, she made a call: “Think of a way for me to get transferred to Qi Continent as an exchange student for a year… Yes, I’ve changed my mind… Ok, ok… Please….”

After finishing the call.

Gu Xi rushed downstairs.

Twenty minutes later, she returned with a beautifully wrapped gift box in her hands.

When Lin Yuan finished playing the piano.

When she was sure Lin Yuan would not continue playing, she entered and said, “I didn’t know Lin Yuan was leaving so I didn’t prepare anything. I just purchased a gift for you!”

“Thank you.”

Lin Yuan hesitated slightly but accepted the gift. After all, whether accepting one gift or two, he was just accepting.

Gu Xi smiled and said: “Do you want to open it and see?”

Lin Yuan agreed; he too was curious about what was inside.

Upon opening, it turned out that it was a round ball.

“This is a 3d printed Blue Star.” Gu Xi introduced with a smile.

She thought this gift held substantial significance; the implication being that no matter where they were, they were still on the same planet. A gift should be something meaningful; she admired her quick-thinking.

She believed that Lin Yuan would understand the meaning behind this.

Lin Yuan looked at the miniature Blue Star in his hand, thought for a second, and brought up a question that Gu Xi would never have expected to hear in her life:

“Does it contain a yolk?”
