"Who... who could pinch me right now, I... I need to know if I’m dreaming!"
After a while, one of the journalists finally spoke, in a daze...
Hearing this, the other dazed journalists snapped back to reality...
They exchanged glances, slightly stunned, and then said in unison, "Whoever is free, pinch me too."
They were all muttering this!
The reason they looked so astonished was that the scene before them felt incredibly surreal.
It was, in fact, a scene that should not have been possible.
The shock they felt was extreme because after they had entered, they saw Ling Shangshu, who they all admired, sitting on a small stool with a notebook in hand, looking devoutly at a younger man...
Ling Shangshu’s focused demeanor resembled that of a student looking at a teacher.
They couldn’t take it!
Upon witnessing this scene, they simply couldn’t accept it!
If it were the young man sitting earnestly on the small stool, listening to Ling Shangshu teach, they could accept it, because they knew Ling Shangshu’s expertise...
But now, it was completely reversed...
This sight was utterly unbearable for them, to the point that they wanted to pinch themselves hard...
...
Haruno Nanako, hearing some noise behind her, turned around curiously...
After turning, Haruno Nanako saw these people.
Seeing their shocked expressions, Haruno Nanako smiled.
Then, she turned back to her mother, Haruno Rei, "Mom, look, their expressions are so funny!"
Hearing Haruno Nanako speak, Haruno Rei turned her head, and the next second, a smile crept across her face.
By then she realized their expressions indeed were amusing...
Smiling, Haruno Rei asked curiously, "Daughter, who are these people?"
Hearing Haruno Rei’s inquiry, Haruno Nanako shook her head lightly...
Soon, she replied, "I’m not sure! But seeing the equipment they’re holding, they must be journalists!"
"I think so too!"
While they were talking, Haruno Rei took another look at them, then turned her gaze back towards Hu Xiaobei...
...
Ling Shangshu, sitting on the small stool, didn’t know these journalists had arrived.
He was extremely focused on listening to Hu Xiaobei’s explanations and taking notes!
Ling Shangshu knew this opportunity was invaluable, so he had to seize it well!
If he missed this opportunity, there might never be such a good one again.
Thinking this, he posed every single doubt that he had...
minutes later, Ling Shangshu finally finished voicing all the questions in his mind.
After taking a deep, satisfied breath, Ling Shangshu kneeled down on the spot.
Seeing Ling Shangshu kneel before the young man shocked the journalists even more...
...
After kneeling properly, Ling Shangshu spoke solemnly, "Master Xiaobei! No thanks needed for your great kindness! In the future, if you ever need anything, just come to me! Anything I can do, I will definitely handle for you!"
Hearing his excited speech, Hu Xiaobei nodded and said, "Alright, I’ll remember your words."
After saying this, Hu Xiaobei noticed those dumbstruck journalists.
Pointing at them, Hu Xiaobei said, "Ling Shangshu, right, it seems those people are looking for you."
Hearing Hu Xiaobei’s words, Ling Shangshu quickly turned his head.
Soon, he saw the stunned journalists.
After seeing their astonished expressions, Ling Shangshu calmly stood up from the ground.
Quickly, he spoke serenely, "Do you need something?"
While speaking, Ling Shangshu once again became that prestigious botanical expert.
Hearing Ling Shangshu’s deep inquiry, the dazed journalists quickly snapped to reality.
Rushing over, they spoke respectfully, "Teacher, can we interview you now?"
Hearing their tentative inquiry, Ling Shangshu wanted to say something!
But first, he turned to look at Hu Xiaobei.
The next second, under everyone’s gaze, Ling Shangshu asked obsequiously, "Master Xiaobei, may... may I accept their interview now?"
Hu Xiaobei glanced at him and said, "You can accept their interview, but not here, I like quiet, I don’t like noise."
"Yes, yes, yes! I understand!"
Quickly agreeing, Ling Shangshu told the journalists, "You guys go outside and wait for me, I’ll come out soon for the interview."
"Okay!"
Upon agreeing, they quickly left.
Once outside, they looked at each other, still shocked!
At that moment, they still couldn’t accept that everything they had just seen was real.
"My dear Guaiguai! Who is that young man?"
"That’s what I’m saying! Why does Ling Shangshu show him so much respect?"
"I don’t know either, he doesn’t seem familiar at all."
While muttering like this, all the journalists were completely perplexed.
They had investigated Ling Shangshu before and reviewed many relevant materials.
Because they had reviewed various materials, they knew many botanical experts from Japan.
But none matched Hu Xiaobei!
That’s why they had no idea who Hu Xiaobei was...
Naturally, they didn’t comprehend why Ling Shangshu was so respectful towards him...
While they were whispering among themselves, Ling Shangshu approached Haruno Nanako, smiling broadly as he handed back the pen to her, "Thank you!"
"It’s nothing!"
While responding, Haruno Nanako took it!
