Chapter 27: Revisiting 'Nightmare' (Part One)

Yang Danning pursed her lips and didn't deny it. She said, "The last time I saw him was last year when I went to the States, and I didn't even have a meal with him."

Her eyes shone with excitement, and the car sped along, not hiding her admiration for Ji Chicheng for a second, demonstrating her impatience at that very moment.

Ji Anning stared at her, was lost in thought for a moment, then jokingly asked, "Yang Danning, are you trying to become my elder?"

'Humph,' Yang Danning pouted and humphed, "If I become your elder, it will be good for you. Ji Xiangting and Ji Ruoqian wouldn't dare to bully you anymore."

Ji Anning smiled upon hearing this, not responding. She turned to look out of the window. It was already autumn; the tall plane trees were turning yellow, some of their leaves already falling.

Dancing chaotically under the wheels of cars as they hit the ground.

A faded gleam fell into her bright, dark eyes, and her lips held a light smile.

Such a back-to-school season, such a time when the leaves flutter down, always brings a special feeling to one's heart.

"What are you thinking about?"

Ji Anning was so engrossed in the view outside the window that Yang Danning suddenly reached out and gently nudged her, "You wouldn't mind me being with your uncle, would you?"

Ji Anning burst into laughter, glancing sideways at Yang Danning, "What could I possibly mind about that? It's just my best friend becoming my aunt, it doesn't affect me one bit."

Even though Miss Yang was usually carefree, she blushed at Ji Anning's 'aunt' remark, but her skin wasn't thin at all, "Then you'll have to help me a lot in the future."

"Me?" Ji Anning pointed at herself uncertainly, blinking at Yang Danning, "You mean you want me to help you get together with my uncle?"

"Yeah." Yang Danning nodded with certainty.

Ji Anning pouted, "Er... How can I help you? What can I do for you?"

That guy wouldn't even bother to lift an eyelid for her, what could she possibly do to help her?

It must be a joke.

"Your uncle has been hired by T University, he'll become the youngest, and also... the most handsome professor there," Yang Danning could barely contain her excitement and was all smiles.

Ji Anning was taken aback by her news, "What?"

Ji Chicheng was coming to their school? And as... a professor?

OMG, he was only four years older than her, she had just started college, and he was already her teacher.

Was she supposed to complain about the unfairness of the heavens?

But there was nothing unfair about it since the Ji family had invested in the new teaching building at T University.

"Although I'm so happy I'll be able to see him more often, I'm also worried that he will catch the attention of even more people."

Yang Danning's mood suddenly became both joyous and worried as she furrowed her brows.

Ji Anning put aside all her thoughts and comforted Yang Danning, "Don't worry. He's naturally equipped with a 'block out girls' function. If he doesn't like them, he won't even give them a second glance."

"You're absolutely right about that. At least up until now, other than me, he's never had a meal alone with any other girl," Yang Danning lifted her chin with confidence.

Confident people always have a certain shine about them.

Danning was just that!

Ji Anning watched Yang Danning's face for a while, then smiled and nodded, "Mhm, at least he's special to you."

She had just flipped through her memories, and sure enough, that was the case. Since fifth grade, girls had been writing love letters to Ji Chicheng, and the number of girls who pursued him was countless until he finished his sophomore year in college domestically.
