He Ao turned his head and looked behind him.
A young woman with light brown short hair tied in a ponytail, wearing a pure white lab coat, stood behind him, looking at him with a face full of surprise.
"Salan?"
He Ao called out the name of the woman from his memories.
"Professor Jess, is it really you?"
The woman looked at He Ao as he turned around, excitedly walked over to him, circled around him half way, her face filled with disbelief, "I went back to the school before, and they said you hadn't returned to the school for several years after your wife's death, and also..."
Realizing she had said something out of line, she suddenly stopped.
"And also you were having some issues with your mental state, right?"
He Ao looked at Salan, smiling gently, and he gestured for Salan to sit beside him.
Salan was one of the students Professor Jess once mentored; those were the times when his wife, Tiny, was still alive, the last happy moments of his life.
"I'm sorry, Professor,"
