"Jiang Jun, you'd better let me go--"

Let her go? How could this be? He shouldn't even think about it in this life.

Jiang Jia Han picked up the two divorce agreements, casually flipped through them: "In that case, I'll think about it again, but I have an important meeting to attend, and I'll contact you when I have time."

With that, Jiang Jia Han left with big strides. An Ning stood up and shouted: "Jiang Jia Han, stop right there!" But the cold had gone.

An Ning dispiritedly sat down. She had just tried hard to control her emotions, but now she could no longer do so. Tears welled up in her eyes.

An Ning's crying was like a silent narration. She quietly sat on the spot. She didn't like to cry, as crying was a sign of weakness to her.

She, who was usually strong, suddenly collapsed at this moment. Jiang Xian took away her divorce agreement, what was this? She had asked him many times what he thought of her.

But Jiang Xianxian never gave her an answer. What did his previous actions count for? In this world, there were thousands and thousands of women who wanted to stick close to him, so how could he possibly be lacking compared to her?

It was as if she was holding in a breath, unable to breathe in new air and unable to exhale old carbon dioxide. An Ning's hand was tightly pressed against her chest, relieving the pain and depression in her chest that she was unable to release.

She cried more and more, and fell to the table.

"An Ning?" Just as An Ning was crying uncontrollably, she heard a familiar voice.

An Ning raised her head. In between, Xu Wang, who was dressed in formal attire and carrying a briefcase, looked over. "It really is you."

Then, Xu Wang ordered the people beside him, "You can go back first. I have some matters to attend to first." Seeing Xu Wang, An Ning hurriedly wiped the tears off his face with a piece of paper.

"What's wrong?" As soon as the concerned voice left his mouth, An Ning's tears surged even more. Xu Wang hurriedly took out a tissue to wipe her down, "An Ning, what's wrong with you?"

Just as Xu Wang reached out his hand, An Ning grabbed his wrist. "Xu, I feel terrible — my heart hurts." An Ran cried as he pounded his chest.

In Xu Wang's memories, An Ning had always been independent and strong. To lose control of her body like this was unbearable and something he had never seen before.

In the past, no matter how hard An Ning's stepsister tried to make things difficult for her, she would never utter a word.

He really wanted to know why An Ning was feeling so bad. However, he knew that if she kept mentioning this matter, it would only make her feel worse.

"Alright, I've cried before. Look at you now. You're so ugly, your makeup is all spent. Look at all the people in this coffee shop, they're all looking at you."

As expected, An Ning looked around. Everyone in the coffee shop was looking at her from time to time. How could she let so many people see her weak appearance?

Xu Wang pulled An Ning up. "Let's go. It's too dark in the coffee shop, so it's too oppressive. Let's go to a good place with a beautiful scenery."

An Ning let Xu Wang pull her. Unknowingly, she had already returned to their old school.

Due to her work and her busy family, An Ning hadn't had the time to properly return to school after graduation to take a look. Just like before, she and Xu Wang wandered along the tree-lined path within the campus.

They still had the same faces, but they were no longer in the same frame of mind. Time had changed them, but they were powerless to change the flow of time.

In order to make the atmosphere less depressing, Xu Wei began to ease the atmosphere.

"An Ning, look at the fish in the school lake. They're still so fat. I really envy them more than the rest of us."

An Ning seemed to have thought of something. "Haha! Of course, we've even eaten before!"

Energetic was a boy who was a professional with An Ning. Every time they crossed this lake together, he would always drool over the fish in it.

Every time he crossed the lake, he would tell everyone that one day he was going to catch the fattest fish for water. Everyone thought that he was just joking.

But one evening in class, he muttered a few words to An Ning, who turned her head to see him unzipping her schoolbag, which contained a fat, dying goldfish.

"Let's go to the luminous cup tonight and eat grilled fish." The luminous cup was the hottest food stall near the school, where the grilled fish were the best of the local delicacies.

Xu Wangfang recalled the scene at that time. Under the call of his great strength, they gathered four to five people together and roasted the goldfish. It was still very spicy.

He still seemed to be able to recall the taste of fish. Everyone was laughing and talking happily, gulping down large mouthfuls of meat and drinking large mouthfuls of wine.

Right now, he only wanted to see An Ning smiling as carefree as she did then. Seeing her worried expression, he also felt uncomfortable. This was not what she should be like.

An Ning seemed to be piqued by her hope. "Ever since that day, there have been very few fish in the school lake. Everyone has been quietly fishing in places where there's no street lights."

The school's fish were usually pampered. When the fish heard the sound of footsteps, they thought that someone was going to feed them, so they grabbed a few fish with the net.

With the first person to eat the crab, the others became more daring. However, the later students were not as lucky as they were and even got punished by the school.

"Just by thinking about it, I feel like we're all talented people. Don't talk about relying on him to enjoy our blessings." An Jing nodded. Having such an eccentric classmate would make the university's life a bit more exciting.

Xu Wang brought An Ning to the bookstore they used to study in. This was the best place in the school, the place where couples would go to study in the morning.

It was the best place to watch the sunset. The sun had just set, and the afterglow of the setting sun was shining through the trees and flowers. It was a sight to behold.

An Ning closed her eyes and exhaled. She felt the silence in her chest lessen by quite a bit. It was as if she had once again returned to those innocent days.

It was a good time to think about nothing but morning classes and exams, and the rest of the time they were running from one corner of the campus to the other with their friends who were bragging.

Campus life is the place where people miss each other the most. There is no such thing as cheating or cheating in the workplace, nor is there any difference between high and low.

"I suddenly want to come back and study." An Ning couldn't help laughing.

Xu Wang also smiled and agreed, "Alright, let's go together. If it's a high number, we can help you cheat."

"Be quiet — —" An Ning quickly looked around. If her juniors and juniors were to hear about her disgraceful past, it would be terrible.

Xu Wang laughed loudly: "You, you've always been taking your face so seriously." Back then, he had put in a lot of effort in order to send her back home. He had almost been caught red-handed by the invigilator.

However, the classmate at the next table had a stomachache. He had nearly been discovered at that time.

An Ning's gaze drifted into the distance. "Xu Wang, thank you." Xu Wang froze for a second, then broke into a smile.
