"If it's not a tiger, then why are you hiding so far away?" Wu Yili asked with a roll of her eyes.

Ge Dongxu smiled awkwardly, not answering.

That question was impossible to answer!

Seeing Ge Dongxu's awkward laughter, a woman's intuition suddenly made Wu Yili realize what was going on. She was stunned for a moment, and a faint blush crept over her fair cheeks.

"Teacher Wu, if there's nothing else, I should head back to school now." Seeing Wu Yili staring at him in a daze, her face flushed, Ge Dongxu felt an itching all over his body and finally decided the best plan was to make a strategic retreat.

Watching Ge Dongxu's back, now taller than her, move farther away, Wu Yili's gaze grew complicated.

Three years had passed, and the naïve boy from the mountains in her memories had grown into a young man taller than she was.

Three years later, reunited, she thought she could dilute those memories, calmly face him as a teacher and a student, take a walk by Mingyue Lake, talk, and make up for the rushed farewell last time.

But now she realized she had been too naive. Not only had she not been able to forget that bone-deep experience, but it seemed that the naïve mountain boy from her memories was also unable to forget it.

Yes, how could they possibly forget?

For both him and herself, that experience was a first in their lives.

If they had never met again, it would have been fine; both could have kept it in their hearts. But now that they had met again, who could stop themselves from recalling that experience?

And once recalling that experience, how could it not lead Ge Dongxu, a young man in his prime, to fanciful thoughts?

To avoid these disrespectful thoughts, these awkward situation, Ge Dongxu's current approach was evidently the best.

To leave, to distance themselves from each other.

"Ge Dongxu, you stop right there!" Just as Ge Dongxu's figure was getting farther away, almost reaching the road, Wu Yili didn't know why she felt suddenly angry and called out.

Ge Dongxu's body tensed, and he had no choice but to stand still.

"Clack, clack, clack!" Wu Yili, her pretty face tinged with some annoyance, walked briskly towards Ge Dongxu in her mid-heel shoes.

"Do you think by walking away, you can act as if nothing has happened?" Wu Yili asked, staring intently at Ge Dongxu.

"I didn't mean that, Teacher. You are the teacher, I am the student, it's inevitable that we would meet in the classroom. Where could I go? I'm just not yet emotionally prepared, but maybe after some time when I have adjusted, I could face you frankly. Right now it's really not appropriate," Ge Dongxu looked at Wu Yili, who had a hint of anger on her face, and spoke honestly.

Facing Ge Dongxu's dark and clear eyes, Wu Yili seemed to return to that small mountain path on Baiyun Mountain, her gaze briefly lost in reverie.

"What's there to adjust? Some things you have to face. I know you didn't mean to think about it, and I'm not blaming you. Why are you running away? Last time, you left in a hurry, and I didn't even have the chance to properly thank you. I've always felt a bit remorseful. This time we finally meet again, you should at least give me a chance to express my gratitude," Wu Yili took a deep breath and spoke earnestly.

"It's nothing really, just a small matter. There's nothing to thank," Ge Dongxu, seeing that Wu Yili was not blaming him, silently heaved a sigh of relief. At the same time, he felt more self-reproachful, silently warning himself not to entertain any more wayward thoughts.

"To you it's a trifle, but for me it's a matter of life and death," Wu Yili said sternly.

"It's not that serious," Ge Dongxu said, seeing Wu Yili's serious expression, and he embarrassedly touched his nose.

"All right, let's go. Tell Teacher about Baiyun Mountain and your own matters. Teacher really wants to know," Wu Yili urged, purposely emphasizing the word "Teacher."

Ge Dongxu naturally caught the emphasis Wu Yili put on "Teacher" and couldn't help but smile wryly to himself. He nodded and replied, "Okay, Teacher, let's start with Baiyun Mountain."

...

"That's the situation with Baiyun Mountain. As for myself, there's not much to say. I went to high school in the county high, where my grades were pretty good, and then I got into Jiangnan University," Ge Dongxu said succinctly after describing the developments over the past three years at Baiyun Mountain.

"Do you still go to the mountains to dig herbs?" Wu Yili asked after listening.

"I haven't for a while," Ge Dongxu hesitated a bit, then replied.

"Studying at university is different from before; it's all self-financed now and the expenses are not small. If you encounter any difficulties, tell Teacher," Wu Yili hesitated before saying, her eyes showing deep tenderness and care.

She could never forget the sight of Ge Dongxu three years ago, wearing tattered clothes and shoes, carrying a bamboo basket. She also knew that for people around Baiyun Mountain, supporting a university student was not easy.

Upon hearing this, Ge Dongxu was genuinely stunned. Although he was not the richest man in Huaxia Country, including his assets in Japan, he was indeed the richest in Jiangnan Province.

"Teacher knows you are a strong student. Even in your first year of high school, you were alone in the mountains digging for herbs to make a living. However, Teacher hopes that in these four years of university, you can focus on your studies without having to toil and hustle for life, so as not to hinder your studies. Don't feel embarrassed; you saved Teacher's life. Now that we have met again, if there's a need, let Teacher help you. Besides, it's only for a few years. After you graduate, Teacher believes you will definitely become a very outstanding man, by which time Teacher might even need to ask for your help," seeing Ge Dongxu staring at her, Wu Yili thought she had hurt his pride and quickly tried to reassure him.

Watching the sincere care and nervousness in Wu Yili's expression, Ge Dongxu felt an indescribable sense of warmth and movement.

With his status and identity now, he increasingly understood what it meant to feel loneliness at the height of success!

Whether it was Liu Manman, Jin Yushan, or Fan Hong from the Special Ability Management Bureau, Ge Dongxu knew clearly that their sincerity and respect were mingled with much utilitarianism.

But that was indeed the reality, and he could only turn a blind eye and look on the bright side.

In fact, deep inside, he still felt a loneliness unique to him and the coldness from the lofty heights.

But in Wu Yili's eyes, all he saw was her heartfelt care.

This was very precious for the present Ge Dongxu.

"Thank you, Teacher. My family is quite well-off now, and studying is not a problem," Ge Dongxu expressed his gratitude.

Upon hearing this, Wu Yili looked deeply at Ge Dongxu, a trace of affection flashing in the depths of her eyes, then she smiled and said, "That's good. Are you hungry? How about we go for a meal? Teacher will treat you to a big feast."

Ge Dongxu read the affection in the depths of Wu Yili's eyes and really wanted to tell her that he genuinely was wealthy, and it wasn't out of pride or wanting to save face by saying his family had money. However, in the end, Ge Dongxu still suppressed that thought.
