Chapter 420
In an ordinary small restaurant.
David, Celia, and their ex-homeroom teacher, Giselle, ate lunch together.
“So, how are the two of you doing?” Giselle asked.
“Not too bad. Celia’s studying at Greenwood University and I just came back from an exchange program with Greenwood University,” David replied.
“David, I thought you were studying at SRU?”
“Mhmm. But there were several quotas for an exchange program with Greenwood University, s o I went and studied there for a bit.”
“If that’s the case, you must be one of the top students in SRU. Or such a quota couldn’t have been yours.”
“I guess, ” David replied.
Top student indeed, thanks to the money he donated to SRU.
“That’s good, then. Very good. Both of you are the most hardworking and disciplined students I’ve ever taught. I know you’ll achieve great success in the future,” Giselle praised.
“Stop praising us, Ms. Hans before we end up overconfident and prideful.”
“What’s the relationship between you two?” Giselle asked pointedly.
She had been teaching for years and had a sharp eye for things like this. It was only natural that she could sense a certain dynamic between David and Celia.
“Celia’s my girlfriend now.”
“David, Celia, I saw a lot of potential in both of you back then, but as university students, the two of you should focus on your academics. You can only take control of your destiny after you graduate when you are knowledgeable, do you understand what I’m trying to say?” Giselle said seriously.
She was afraid that her best students would lose their motivation to study now that they were dating.
The two of them were on Shu City High’s Column of Glory. It would be a shame if they could not make a living in the big cities and had to return to a small county like Shu City after everything
“Don’t worry, Ms. Hans. We understand.”
“Don’t worry, Ms. Hans. We understand.”
David and Celia replied at the same time.
“Alright. As long as you understand.”
Giselle did not say any more.
She trusted both of them to be able to pay attention to their studies while maintaining their relationship.
The three of them returned to school after lunch.
The principal happened to be on campus today, so when he heard that the province’s and school’s top scorer had come to visit, he went to the senior-year teachers’ office as well.
Giselle was chatting away with the young couple when the principal suddenly came in. She quickly stood to greet him, “Mr. Johnston! Why are you here?”.
“Sit, Ms. Hans. I’m just here to walk around. I heard that our top scorer is back.” Mr. Johnston said with a smile.
“Hello, Mr. Johnston.”
“Hello, Mr. Johnston.”
David and Celia stood to greet.
“Sit, two of you. You must be Celia, right? As expected of the province’s top scorer. As Shu City High’s principal, I truly owe you my thanks. You’ve contributed greatly to our school’s history. It’s a shame you didn’t come back to campus after your college entrance examination.” Mr. Johnston lamented.
“I’m really sorry about that, Mr. Johnston. It’s just that my parents live in Capital City, so I never got the chance to come back,” Celia replied apologetically.
“No, no, it’s alright! You chose to continue studying with us even after your father was transferred out of Shu City. On behalf of all our teachers, I thank you for your trust in Shu City High. Thanks to you, Shu City High will always have a provincial top scorer as our student,” Johnston thanked genuinely.
He knew about Celia’s identity. It was a total surprise that she continued studying in Shu City High after her father was transferred back to Capital City, and thus allowed Shu City High to have a provincial top scorer as a student. .
This boosted Shu City High’s popularity within the province. Not only did the school become well-known because of this, but they had also received more favored teaching resources as a result.
“You’re too kind, Mr. Johnston!”
Celia felt embarrassed by Mr. Johnston’s words and glanced over at David beside her.
She did not stay because of her faith in Shu City High, she chose to stay because doing so meant she could see David every day.
