Chapter 795 Senior-Junior Reunion...
Hearing what Noah said, the Teacher handed over the sheets in her hands to the Jake to make her hands free and unfolded the crunched sheet ball. After straightening it, the Teacher observed the drawing. Though there were multiple folds on the sheet, it couldn't hide what a beautiful sketch Lu Lijun had drawn. A pretty woman with a pleasant smile on her face with her eyes shining brightly, which could melt anyone's heart.
The Teacher continued observing it as a pleasant smile painted on her lips. "Who is the pretty woman?" the Teacher asked.
"Family," Lu Lijun replied, but his expressions showed he was not so pleased that his teacher saw it.
"Well, I think this is good. I'll keep it with me and will decide your grades based on it."
"I think the one I gave you is better," Lu Lijun suggested.
"Hmm!"
Sighing, the Teacher pulled out Lu Lijun's previous drawing sheet from the bunch that Jake was holding. It had the beautiful view of nature captured in it, with trees, hills, sea, river, and everything that could make it lively and pleasant.
Observing it, the Teacher asked, "Lijun, what do you want to be? Sea or River?"
"Sea," Lu Lijun replied firmly.
"Why?" The Teacher's sight was observing the little guy curiously as if she was trying to test him.
"Because the sea doesn't need anyone and can be fine on its own."
The teacher nodded a little, "Hmm, but why not a river, which makes its way through the difficult paths, making our lives better by providing us water without which we can't survive unlike the salty water in the sea?...."
"But in the end, that river has to meet the sea despite whatever she goes through, even though the sea is salty." Lu Lijun interrupted the Teacher, and she had nothing left to say.
Since the teacher saw him, she could feel there was something special about him, but after this conversation, it was clear that she was right, this kid was special. She tested him by making this small conversation where she didn't expect to get such a deep and meaningful reply from the little guy.
"It was nice talking to you, Lijun. See you in the next class. And this," she showed him the sheet with the woman's drawing, "I will take it with me."
Lu Lijun said nothing, and the Teacher took it as his approval. Once the Teacher left, Noah commented, "That was intense, my friend. It seems like our Teacher is impressed with you."
"Whatever," came the reply from Lu Lijun.

After Xiao Min got his boss's permission to leave the office early, he went out of the office in a hurry to catch up with Xi Cheng's assistant, who was already in the lift on his way to the ground floor.
Xiao Min caught the other lift and called assistant Li, but he was another call. When Xiao Min reached the ground floor, he ran outside just to see assistant Li finished talking on the phone as he was walking towards his car. The entire staff on the ground floor was surprised to see why Xiao Min was running outside, and even the security guards followed him, thinking there was an emergency.
Xiao Min noticed it and instructed as he kept running, "You can go back. I have a personal emergency."
The guards obeyed and stopped following him.
Assistant Li saw the missed call from Xiao Min's number and was about to dial back, but till then, Xiao Min reached to him, catching his breath.
"Assistant Xiao Min, what happened? Is everything alright?" assistant Li asked as he felt worried to see Xiao Min running after him.
Xiao Min raised his hand, signaling him to spare him some time as he was still trying to breathe comfortably. Assistant Li waited for him, and in the next few moments, he heard Xiao Min.
"Want to have a drink with me?"
It surprised assistant Li, but before he could say yes or no, Xiao Min spoke again, "I want to accompany my senior as we grab a drink. It's personal, nothing official."
Assistant Li nodded after giving a thought for a while, and Xiao Min smiled, "Let's go then" and sat on the front passenger seat of assistant Li's Car.
"Aren't you taking your car, assistant Xiao Min?" assistant Li asked.
"Today, I want to get a privilege to ride with my senior," Xiao Min said as he put on his seat belt.
Assistant Li sat quietly on the driver seat as he commented, "You are still like in the old days when I thought you must be a mature person now, assistant Xiao Min."
Xiao Min ignored serious and sarcastic remarks from assistant Li and said, "I want to be like in the old days again. Also, call me Xiao Min only as it's a personal meeting, senior."
"What a nasty junior!" assistant Li mumbled as they drove away from the Lu Corporations while Xiao Min continued smiling like a kid, who was ready trouble his elder.
"Senior, where are we going?" Xiao Min asked.
"To the hell, are you fine with it?" assistant Li asked.
"Yes, because I know I would be safe wherever I go with my senior," said Xiao Min, and assistant Li sighed.
"I wonder if this cheesy side of yours is known to someone else, too," assistant Li commented.
"Senior is the only special person who has this privilege," Xiao Min replied as he added, "I don't know how many years have passed since we are together like this. Those high school days were the best ones."
"If you act cheesy like those days, I won't mind adding a few more years to this reunion," warned assistant Li.
"Nono, senior. I would be a good junior," said assistant Xiao Min and after that, there was silence in the car till they reached one supermarket.
"Get the box of liquor," assistant Li instructed.
"Yes, senior," Saying Xiao Min continued sitting in the car as he looked at assistant Li instead of getting out.
"Why are you not going?" assistant Li asked.
"Money." Xiao Min replied.
"Use yours. You are not a kid now."
"When a senior is here, won't it be a shame when a junior spends his money."
"I don't mind being shameless," assistant Li countered.
"Stingy senior," saying, Xiao Min stepped out of the car and went to the supermarket. He came back in a while with a massive box of beers.
