Alma Mater

After dinner, Penelope took Zachary to her alma mater, Yuzhang University. Penelope found a place with delicious food and walked towards the school gate holding Zachary's arm.

Walking into the school gate which is said to be the largest in Asia, Zachary said, "Actually, I have a question I have always wanted to ask you. You were such a good student, how come you ended up in Yuzhang University? Although it is the best university in Jiangxi Province, it is actually not even a 985. Logically, you shouldn't be studying in this school!"

Penelope became a little excited after entering the school gate, and even jumped when she walked. Seeing Zachary asking her this, she rolled her eyes and said, "Someone is asking knowingly! It's because a certain pig is also in this city!"

Zachary smiled and sighed when he heard it, and said, "Is it necessary to be like this?"

Penelope took Zachary's arm and walked to the lake. She reached out to pluck a willow branch and said, "It's necessary. When we were together, the memories left for me are very beautiful. I regretted not agreeing to you back then!"

Zachary continued to grin foolishly. He didn't dare to respond to such a topic.

"When I was in college, I saw many couples walking by the lake. I thought, if one day I could be like those couples, holding your arm, walking by the lake, with the wind blowing, the catkins flying, and the sunlight shining through the gaps between the leaves, running around us mischievously with the swaying of the leaves, it's so beautiful just thinking about it!"

"Actually, I went to your school several times at that time." Seeing Zachary looking at her in shock, Penelope chuckled and continued,

"It should be four or five times. I met you once, but at that time you two were sitting on the lawn reading books together. Seeing you like that, I felt so sad. I cried when I got back to the dormitory, and then I never went to your school again!"

"Before that, I loved taking walks by the lake the most, and imagined the two of us walking here. After that, today is my first time coming to the lake!"

Penelope let go of Zachary's hand, ran to the lake and shouted a few words into the lake, then ran back and nudged Zachary, saying, "I'm so happy today, so I can stop caring about the things you did to make me sad. But, in the future, you are not allowed to make me sad again, okay?"

Zachary nodded heavily and said, "Well, I won't do that again, I promise!"

Penelope found a cleaner place, pulled Zachary and sat down, then Penelope found a comfortable position, lay on Zachary, a blush quietly climbed up her cheeks, but she kept chattering to Zachary about the interesting things in her college.

She said that she was closest to the girls in the class, who she couldn't get along with, who liked to talk bad about people behind their backs, who had the most carefree personality, who had been dating who for how long, who was very sarcastic, but as soon as she graduated, she went to teach in the northwest, and she is still there now. In the last Moments she posted, she looked darker and thinner, but her eyes looked particularly bright.

Then she casually mentioned that there were several boys chasing her. There was one who left a deep impression on her, that when she was in the library, he would always sit diagonally opposite her. His temperament looked very similar to you back then. She even considered that if he confessed to her, it would be nice to try to date him first.

But later she rejected his confession because he just looked a little like you, not because she really had feelings for him. If she agreed, it would be unfair to him and fair to me. Later she heard that she found someone after a while, and that was fine.

Zachary just listened quietly as Penelope told him everything she had wanted to say to him all those years, but had not found the opportunity to say it until now.

It was not until the lights came on that Penelope stopped talking again, feeling unsatisfied. She stood up and took Zachary's hand and walked out of the school, saying as they walked, "There are a few places over on Student Street that serve very good food. I wonder if those restaurants are still there. I'll take you to try them. I'm sure you'll find them delicious!"

Zachary smiled and let Penelope take her over there. Those restaurants must have been the places she had thought about going to with him when she was studying, but never had the chance to eat there, right?

Following Penelope to Student Street, seeing her shouting happily, he knew she had found a restaurant. Sure enough, Penelope shouted happily, "That restaurant is still there. Their boiled fish fillet tastes the best. Whenever we have a dormitory party or a class party, we always order boiled fish fillet at this restaurant. There have been many times when one plate is not enough, and we order another plate after finishing it!"

The two of them entered this small restaurant. Zachary took a look. It was still early, but there were already many people dining here. Several private rooms were occupied, and it seemed that the business was quite good.

There were no private rooms, so the two of them had to choose a seat in the lobby to sit down.

Well, Penelope ordered a lot of dishes with great interest. Zachary saw that Penelope was so interested, so he didn't interrupt her. It was not until the dishes were served that Penelope realized and said, "Ah, why did I order so many dishes?"

Zachary smiled and said, "Are these dishes all the dishes you wanted to introduce to me?"

After hearing this, Penelope covered her face with both hands and said, "Damn it, you guessed it all."

Then she pretended to be fierce and said to Zachary, "Don't laugh at me. If you laugh again, I will make you look good!" But in Zachary's eyes, she looked silly and cute, so cute!

Zachary picked up a piece of fish fillet and stuffed it into Penelope's mouth, saying, "Eat quickly, you little fool!"

The two had just started eating when Paul Aime called. It turned out that he was finally free in the evening and wanted to have dinner with the two of them. However, after hearing that the two were still eating, he gave up this plan. They just went to find him after they finished eating.

How could Zachary dare to dawdle when his father-in-law invited him? He hurriedly finished his meal and urged Penelope to eat faster. Penelope's dinner, which had been planned to take two hours, was finished in less than 20 minutes!

After paying the bill, Penelope took Zachary's arm and walked towards the parking lot, complaining about her father!
