The next day.
I saw Don at the door the moment I opened it.
I recalled us agreeing to go to Salt City University together this morning, but I came out so late. He probably had not been waiting long here, right?
Don smiled when he saw me. "I wanted to knock, but I didn’t expect you to come out.”
I smiled slightly and replied, "Have you been waiting long, Professor Logan?" There was an apology in my question.
I saw him shaking his head before he replied with a smile. "I wish I did so I could get you to treat me to breakfast, but I just came out."
"That's good. Let's go downstairs and have breakfast. We can set off after that." I finally felt better.
"Sounds good."
We got off the elevator together and went to the hotel lobby. The breakfast here was quite rich, but I had no appetite. Thus, I only took two eggs and a bowl of porridge.
I looked at Don again with his balanced nutrition and timely meals.
He glanced at the breakfast in front of me and shook his head. "Breakfast is very important. How is that enough?"
After saying that, Don went and brought me two other side dishes. "Many of my students don't eat breakfast. So, I bring them food like this and then watch them until they finish their food."
"Being your student means not only being stressed about grades but also life, " I said with a smile.
"Breakfast is important. It's also for the students’ benefit.”
"It’s a blessing for the school to have a responsible professor like you."
Don looked up at me with a smile in his eyes. "You’re too kind"
We went to Salt City University together after breakfast.
Walking through the campus, the school had gone through a lot of changes. The only thing that remained the same were the two rows of trees, which were still green and tall.
After so many years, the class buildings had been renovated and many dormitories were newly built. The yard had also been expanded, and the indoor stadium had similarly gone through a renovation, giving the school a completely new look.
"It's much bigger. I still remember how empty it was before. There are more academic buildings now," I said as I pointed to a building in front of me.
