At this moment, Zhai Jingâs survival instinct made him quickly change his words.
âIâm afraid that your legs will be especially sore tomorrow after you climb up and you wonât be able to walk. So, if you can find a more convenient path, you donât have to climb so many stairs.â
Le Wan still insisted on taking the main road.
âWe are here to fulfill our wish. How can we be opportunistic? Give me another five minutes to rest for a while. Iâm sure I can climb up too. At most, after climbing up, weâll take the cable car down. Then, Iâll stay at home for the next few days.â
The old couple looked at each other after hearing their words and said,
âIf you want to take a small path, we can take you up.â
Le Wanâs eyes lit up.
âUncle, Auntie, are you familiar with this area?
If there was a companion and someone to lead the way, the safety factor of taking the small road would increase exponentially.
When the old man heard her address him, he laughed out loud.
âLittle girl, youâre so sweet. Calling us uncle and auntie makes us look younger. You can just call us grandpa and grandma.â Le Wan immediately changed her words.
âHey, hello, Grandpa and Grandma.â
The old manâs smile widened.
âMy wife and I climb this mountain every Saturday as a form of exercise, so weâre quite familiar with the area. If you donât worry, you can come with us.â Le Wan gave them a thumbs up.
âWow, Grandpa, Grandma, your physical fitness is so good. You climb such a high mountain once a week. With this energy and stamina, youâre much better than me.â
The old lady glanced at Le Wanâs arm which was as thin as a bamboo pole.
âYou youngsters are all pursuing thinness and donât like to exercise. Naturally, your bodies canât become strong.â
âSigh, thereâs nothing we can do about it. Arenât people pursuing beauty by being thin nowadays?â
Le Wan followed her gaze and pinched her arm.
The old man turned around and looked at his wife.
âDonât talk about the young man. Arenât you afraid of getting fat yourself? And donât you think Iâm fat?â
The old lady saw that he was making things difficult for her and glared at him.
âYouâre already so old. If youâre still getting fatter, then the three high-level doctors will follow you.â
The old man wasnât convinced.
âIâve been exercising a lot. Where did the âthree highsâ come from?
Seeing that they were about to start quarreling, Le Wan quickly helped them out.
âIt doesnât matter if youâre fat or thin. The main thing is whether youâre healthy or not. For example, Grandpa and Grandma, youâre so energetic. Even if youâre thin, youâre still lean. One look and you can tell that youâre healthy and happy to live to ninety-nine.â
No one disliked compliments, and neither did the two elders. They quickly became familiar with each other under Le Wanâs warm laughter.
After learning that they were two retired professors from a famous university in the city, Yao Kan and Zhai Lin, Le Wanâs tone became more respectful.
âYou guys are students who just finished the college entrance examination, right? Which school did you apply for?â
When Professor Yao saw that Le Wan and Zhai Jing were smart and quick-witted, he had a hunch that their grades wouldnât be bad.
Professor Yao smiled and said,
âAlthough the old man has retired for a few years, he canât stay idle. Coincidentally, the school has a rehiring plan, so I ran back to work. If you apply for our school, I might be able to teach you.â
Professor Zhai echoed,
âThatâs right. If you meet him, Iâll get the old man to open a backdoor for you. I guarantee that you wonât fail your subjects.â
Professor Yao glared at her.
âHow can you say that? Weâre serious about teaching and educating people.
How can we open the back door so casually?â
Although he said that, there was a hint of a smile on his face. It was obvious that they took it as a joke.
Le Wan and Zhai Jing looked at each other.
âIf we could meet a good professor like you in university, it would definitely be much easier. Grandpa, youâre so funny. Iâm sure your class will be especially interesting and I wonât doze off at all.â
When Professor Yao heard this, he smiled so much that the wrinkles on his face deepened.
âYou little girl, you just love to coax people. Donât think that youâre speaking very well now, but when it comes to class, one or two of you will still doze off when you should.â
âAiya, please give us some face.â Le Wan furrowed her brows as if she had been tricked. Then, she laughed as well. âSo which university did you apply for?â Le Wan smiled shyly.
âWe applied for Jing City University.â
Professor Yao and Professor Zhai looked at each other in surprise. Jing City University was the best university in the country..
