Chapter 1079: Return to University Campus
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Gu Juexi initially refused to go along, but when he saw his wife’s pleading face and she mentioned that Professor Zhou had treated her well in the past, he gave in.
He had actually never been to his beloved wife’s campus. This was a good opportunity for him to have a look.
In order to not disturb Gu Juexi’s working schedule, Professor Zhou set their meeting at night which was after office hours.
Mrs. Zhou asked Ye Yuwei to bring her children along when she found out about her visit.
Ye Yuwei agreed easily. When Gu Juexi arrived at home to fetch them, she had already dressed the children well.
Professor Zhou was currently staying in the university faculty building. They did not have to cross the whole campus if they entered from the north gate. However, they could only go there on foot as no car could enter the north gate.
When Ye Yuwei wanted to drive towards the south gate, Gu Juexi stopped her as he had been worrying about her driving skills throughout the journey. He knew his wife’s driving was very adventurous, especially in a place like a campus compound.
Ye Yuwei pouted. She parked their car at the parking area near the north gate.
Gu Juexi got down from the car, carried his little daughter then took out the health tonic from the trunk.
Ye Yuwei was surprised. “When did you buy this?”
“This is a bribe for taking good care of you last time,” said Gu Juexi naturally.
Ye Yuwei thought that Gu Juexi was unwilling to meet the old couple, but who would have guessed that he would be even more thoughtful than her in this matter.
It must be gratitude towards Professor Zhou for his special treatment that made Gu Juexi want to come and thank him personally. Otherwise, he would never waste his time to meet people who were not related to him.
Gu Juexi passed the health tonic gift set to Ye Yuwei, then carried Xixi in his arms. Although the night was still early, as long as Gu Juexi was around his daughter, he would never let her walk on her own.
Ye Yuwei carried the gift set using one hand and held Ye Xicheng’s hand with the other as they all walked together.
The north gate was located between the student hostel and the staff hostel. They needed to walk past the school field and a bath center. The bath center was abandoned.
“We used to shower here during our university years. However, I heard they built a bathroom in the hostel after Yaojing and I graduated. I’m surprised this bath center has not been demolished yet.”
Ye Yuwei sighed as she thought about the good old times. She could still remember coming here with Yaojing for a bath whenever they did not have classes in the evening.
“Only one?” Gu Juexi asked when he saw that there was only one old building. He frowned at its poor conditions.
“The first floor is designated for males while females shower on the second floor. The place is actually quite small. Back then, there were too many people so they had to share one faucet at a time. Sometimes, we had to wait for a very long time,” explained Ye Yuwei as the memories flooded her mind. It had been so long since she last came back to this place.
Both Gu Juexi and Ye Xicheng looked disgusted when they heard the story. What kind of bath place was this? It was not even a proper bathroom.
Gu Juexi’s expression turned darker when he heard that the guys had the first-floor bathroom.
He never knew such a bath center existed in a university.
“Actually, most universities had the same infrastructures at the time—” added Ye Yuwei, then suddenly remembered. “I’m sorry, I forgot that you never had a normal university life.” She quickly walked away after she finished speaking.
Gu Juexi snorted loudly.
“Isn’t Bai Xiaolian, the student from International Trade Class Two, working as a maid at Gu Juexi’s residence now? I heard our senior who got married to him is a fierce tiger at home. The conceited woman thinks highly of herself just because she gave him two children.”
Gu Juexi paused. He was still holding his daughter in his arms.
