Summer Mu was stunned, and Beck also looked up at Cheng.
"I used to be from No. 6 Middle School."Summer Mu answered.
Cheng smiled sweetly and said, "I'm in the same class as you, but not in the same class."
Summer Mu let out a "Oh" and smiled, "Nice to meet you." Meeting her alumni made her feel a bit complicated. But always feel the warmth of those who have gone far away and their lives. She just searched around in her mind and didn't remember Miss Cheng either.
Unexpectedly, Cheng smiled and said, "At that time, you were a prominent figure. You didn't know me, but I recognized you."
Summer Mu was momentarily stunned and also noticed that Beck's gaze had fallen on her. She just smiled openly and waved her hand, saying, "Alumni, heroes don't mention their bravery back then."
Cheng chuckled and said, "You're still so funny. Where do you work now?"
Summer Mu replied, "I am in L."
After chatting for a few more words, Summer Mu got up and said goodbye, not forgetting to bring her two large bags of drinks. Cheng lifted her head and looked at Summer Mu's slender and slightly struggling figure. After a while, she asked, " Beck, why are you with her?"
Beck also glanced at Summer Mu's back and said succinctly, "It was her who called the ambulance to take us to the hospital that night."
Cheng let out an "ah" and said, "Why didn't you say it earlier! I should have thanked her well!" Cheng regretted.
Beck said calmly, "No need, I have already thanked her."
"Oh, that's good. "Cheng automatically understood his" thank you "and gave the check, her expression relieved. After thinking about it, he hesitated and said, "No, didn't you say that the salesperson who helped us was a small salesperson?"
She's basically a small salesperson
Cheng showed a look of great surprise, fell silent for a moment, and sighed, "I really didn't expect her to be like this now. At that time, she was really a celebrity, ranking first in her grade every time she took exams. She was the class monitor and vice president of the student union. There were many people who supported her, and there were also many boys who chased after her. At that time, everyone thought she would take the entrance exams for University."
Beck looked at her with sharp and clear eyes and said, "And then?"
Cheng glanced at him a few times and said, "Why are you interested in her affairs? But I've never seen you care about anyone unrelated to her. Are you interested in her?"
"Is it possible? "He chuckled faintly.
How could he possibly fall in love with such a girl?
Probably Cheng thought the same way, she said with a slight smile," Later on, she made a serious mistake in the college entrance examination and didn't even get into college, so she didn't study."
"Why?"
Cheng looked at Beck's dark eyes, paused for a moment, and replied, "I'm not quite sure. I'm not in the same class as her. Some people say we fell in love early and would act impulsively when we were young, right? Later on, she didn't come to school for many days. I heard she lived outside the school."

Summer Mu returned to the office with a drink in hand. After distributing to colleagues, only Meng and his assistant remained.
Summer Mu took two drinks and went upstairs. Assistant Chen sat at the entrance of Meng's office and saw her. He smiled and said, "Thank you, Summer Mu." He took his drink, but didn't pick up Meng. He smiled and said, "Mr. Meng is inside. Let's bring it in. I need to go to the bathroom." Then he got up and left.
Summer Mu had no choice but to knock on the door lightly, feeling a little overwhelmed.
"Come in."
She pushed open the door and saw Meng sitting behind the desk, reviewing documents. He looked up at her.
Summer Mu quickly lowered her eyes, brought the drink over, and placed it on the table: "Mr. Meng, your coffee."
"Hmm."
As soon as Summer Mu turned around and was about to leave, he heard him say, "Sit down, wait for me to finish reading these few pages of documents."
Summer Mu stiffened slightly and had to sit down again.
The office was very quiet, with the sound of the wind blowing the curtains and his pen tip rustling on the paper. There was a lingering aroma of coffee on Summer Mu's fingers.
After a while, he looked up at her with a smile in his eyes. Summer Mu also smiled politely, afraid to show any signs of closeness.
He didn't speak either, stared at her for a few seconds, opened the drawer, took out a folder and put it in front of her: "Look at it."
Summer Mu opened it and was stunned.
This is…
This was information about several key universities in the city, including department introductions, faculty backgrounds, major introductions, and admission score lines over the years. After reading a few pages, Summer Mu looked up and said, "Mr. Meng, this is…"
Meng picked up the coffee she had bought, took a few sips, and gently placed it beside him: "These universities in the city are also among the top in the country. Take a look, which one do you want to go to? I'll drive you there next week to take a look. How long will it take for you to prepare for the college entrance examination? During this period, you don't have to worry about money, tuition fees, living expenses, and other expenses. Even if you don't get into the exam, it's okay. I still have some connections in the city, spend some money, and even with some communication, you can still get into it. Do you think that's okay?"
Summer Mu was completely shocked, holding the information in hand and unable to say a word. Meng's face was tough and restrained, clear and distinct in front of her. But she only felt her temples throbbing, as if she was about to enter an extremely empty abyss. She looked around and suddenly felt lost.
"Dongdong - "Someone knocked on the door, breaking the silence.
Meng's smile remained unchanged as he said, "Take it back and take your time to look."

That night, Summer Mu was lying in bed with this document at hand.
On early summer nights, there was still a slight chill. She laid down for a while, then pulled the blanket and wrapped it tightly around herself, looking out the window at the pitch black sky.
She remembered that morning when Meng held her hand, his fingers were hard and long, with thin calluses that had lasted for years. She remembered the way he looked at her and called her 'little girl' with a low smile.
He had been divorced before, and it was said that his first wife, like him, was a grassroots employee in a supermarket. No one knew where she went now. She heard that he had had two girlfriends in recent years, but they hadn't been together for long and had both broken up.
She turned her head again and looked at the document.
He entrusted her dream to her hands. As long as she held it tightly, she can get it.
——
Early morning.
Summer Mu got up very early today and ran to the sports field early, sweating profusely. She didn't expect Meng to be earlier than her. In the gray morning sky, he was still wearing his gray T-shirt and black shorts, practicing his equipment.
Summer Mu stood still for a while and walked over, saying, "Mr. Meng."
He seemed to have expected her to come so early and also anticipated that she would be sleepless all night. Picking up a towel and wiping away sweat, he said gently, "Good morning."
Summer Mu remained silent.
He turned to look at her and smiled, 'Has the school been chosen yet?'
"No. "she replied.
He sat down and patted the steps beside him, gesturing for her to sit too. But Summer Mu didn't move. He glanced at her and remained silent for a moment before slowly saying, "I think you'll take the entrance exam to J University. It's the best among these universities. After finishing your undergraduate studies, you can continue your graduate studies if you want. I have a house near the University, and you can live there in the future. But it's okay to go abroad, it's too far away from me. If you want to go out and see, which country do you want to go to? I'll arrange time and take you there to play."
Summer Mu remained silent for a long time, but suddenly spoke up, "Mr. Meng, are you arranging my life?"
Meng looked at her without saying a word. Summer Mu didn't speak either. After a while, he suddenly reached out and pulled her over. Summer Mu was startled, as he had already pulled the person between his legs. He looked at her with fine crow's feet at the corners of his eyes, and his eyes were black and heavy.
