Chapter 572: Actually, I’ve Seen it Before

Ji Zixuan’s expression became even more reserved.

Huang Weiwei smiled and led the three of them into the house.

In the living room, there was a large, old-fashioned chopping board. Two middle-aged couples and Huang Yichen were making dumplings, while a spirited old man was leaning on a walking stick and watching with a smile.

The whole family was very enthusiastic towards the three of them.

He was especially passionate about Ji Zixuan.

After all, this family was more or less in the math-related industry.

Huang Weiwei was boasting about Ji Zixuan again.

After chatting for a while, the old man changed the topic to mathematics.

The two of them were very engrossed in their conversation. Ji Yuanyuan felt as if dhe was listening to a heavenly book.

She secretly looked at Qin Mucheng and asked in a low voice, “Do you understand?”

Qin Mucheng could still understand part of it. After all, he had been studying mathematics before the college entrance examination and had participated in many Mathematical Olympiad competitions.

However, from Ji Yuanyuan’s expression, he knew she did not understand.

If she was the only one who didn’t understand, she would definitely feel awkward.

Therefore, after thinking for a while, Qin Mucheng lied, “I don’t understand!” As expected, after Qin Mucheng finished speaking, Ji Yuanyuan heaved a sigh of relief and whispered, “I keep feeling that the old man looks familiar, as if

I’ve seen him somewhere before.”

“I don’t think so.” Qin Mucheng shook his head.

The conversation between the old man and Ji Zixuan quickly attracted the attention of two middle-aged men.

The two of them stopped making dumplings and went over to chat.

With the empty seat, Ji Yuanyuan rolled up her sleeves, “Senior, let’s help too.” Huang Weiwei shook her head, “No need. It’s almost done. Don’t get your hands dirty.”

Then, she turned to Huang Yichen and said, “You accompany Yuanyuan and the others.”

Huang Yichen dusted off the flour on his hands and pulled Qin Mucheng to sit beside him, “You don’t have to be so polite. Just treat it as your own home.”

The two mothers were very gentle. As they wrapped the dumplings, they instructed, “There are snacks in the cupboard, Yichen, take them out.”

“Turn on the TV and find the channel you like.”

Huang Yichen’s busyness made Ji Yuanyuan and Qin Mucheng a little uncomfortable.

She had agreed to help make dumplings, but she couldn’t help at all.

On the other side, the old man’s voice grew louder and louder when he got to the emotional part, “When I was still teaching at B University, I studied this topic with Old Geng. After researching for several years, I didn’t come up with any results. Later, I was disheartened and came to M Nation. I thought Old Geng had given up on this research project. I didn’t expect him to meet you.” Huang Weiwei’s father also sighed, “If you and Uncle Geng can solve this problem, it will be of great help to our country’s aerospace industry.”

Ji Yuanyuan knew about this Old Geng or Uncle Geng.

He was a very good old professor in the mathematics department. He didn’t teach students much anymore.

Only Ji Zixuan was an exception.

In his second year of university, Professor Geng made an exception and accepted Ji Zixuan as his student to help him with his research.

However, she did not expect that Professor Geng was an old friend of Huang Weiwei’s grandfather.

As expected, Huang Weiwei kept a low profile and never deliberately showed off her family background.

“This Old Geng is really unexpected…” The old man sighed a little. “If I hadn’t given up in 2003 and didn’t come to M Nation, maybe now I…”

“Don’t think that way. Your health has always been poor. You came to M Nation for the sake of your health.” Huang Weiwei’s father advised.

Ji Yuanyuan listened to their conversation and suddenly thought of something. She finally understood why she felt that Huang Weiwei’s grandfather looked familiar. They had actually met before.

“Grandpa Huang, now that you mentioned it, I remember that we’ve met before.” Ji Yuanyuan found an opportunity to speak.

When the old man heard this, he became spirited again, “Oh? When did we meet?”

“You just said that you came to M Nation in 2003. Did you deal with a house before coming to M Nation?”

The old man was stunned for a moment, “Yes.

“Then do you still remember that a couple brought their Sister, Brother-in-law, and two nephews to your house to see a house? That Sister knows that you’re a professor at B University and asked you a lot of questions.” After Ji Yuanyuan reminded him, the old man remembered, Yes, he said that her Big Brother’s grades are very good and he might go to B University in the future. That little girl is you?”

Ji Yuanyuan nodded, “That’s right. At that time, my Second Brother and I followed our parents to look at the houses. At that time, Big Brother was about to take his college entrance examination, so we didn’t let him go.”

The old man laughed and sighed at the magic of fate.

However, after laughing, she felt a little sad, “I’m just not as lucky as Old Geng. Our two families still have this fate. If Zixuan had gone to B City back then, we would have been able to meet. Maybe I’ll change my mind, but… In the end, Zixuan still became Old Geng’s student.”

The old man was only deceiving himself. Even if he had met Ji Zixuan once back then, how could he change his mind just because of a child he had only met once?

Huang Yichen saw that his grandfather was starting to feel sad again, so he quickly joked to cheer him up, “Don’t worry, you still have a chance. Grandpa Geng was just Brother Zixuan’s teacher.”

“What do you mean?” The old man was a little surprised.

-What I mean is that Sster and Brother Zixuan are classmates. If they go further, we will be a family in the future. Isn’t that closer to Brother Zixuan and Grandpa Geng?”

After Huang Yichen finished speaking, the old man’s eyes lit up.

He excitedly looked at Ji Zixuan and asked, “Zixuan, do you have a partner?” Before he could say anything, Huang Weiwei said, “That’s enough, Grandpa. If you keep asking, I’m afraid he won’t even dare to have dinner at our house.” Huang Weiwei’s father chimed in, “Yes, the children have their own way of interacting with each other. If you say too much, the children will feel uncomfortable.”

The old man was a little embarrassed as he started talking about his research project with Professor Geng.

This topic was originally about the research by the old man and Professor Geng.

Therefore, without revealing the core, there were many topics to talk about. However, even so, the old man’s enthusiasm was still a little overwhelming for Ji Zixuan.

After dinner, Ji Zixuan brought Qin Mucheng and Ji Yuanyuan back home after a short while.

On the way back, the more Ji Yuanyuan thought about it, the more regretful she felt.

If Old Master Huang hadn’t left back then, Big Brother might have been Old Master Huang’s student now.

The combination of a student and a teacher’s granddaughter was too easy to deal with.

It was a pity that the old man had left, and her big brother and Huang Weiwei were only classmates in the end..
