Chapter 5 Reunion after a long separation

"Su...Brother Su Yu!" Shi Yuling said in surprise, "I didn't expect to meet you here. You are still the same as before, you haven't changed at all."

Su Yu looked at Shi Yuling and said with great surprise: "You have changed a lot. From the little beauty you were before, you have become a big beauty. If your voice hadn't changed, I almost wouldn't have recognized you." .”

With that said, Su Yu hurriedly gave some instructions to the waiter, and then asked Shi Yuling and her companions to sit down at his table.

"Thank you, brother Su Yu, for the compliment." Shi Yuling said happily after pulling his companion to sit down.

"Teacher Shi and Mrs. Shi, are you okay?" Su Yu took two new pairs of bowls and chopsticks, handed them to Shi Yuling and her companions, and said with a smile, "After I was admitted to college, I visited your home again and learned that Teacher Shi has stopped teaching at No. 3 Middle School a long time ago, and you have also moved."

"I passed by your house again during the Spring Festival after graduating from college."

“That area has been completely demolished and incorporated into the county’s planned development area.”

Shi Yuling was the only daughter of his former junior high school teacher when he was a student.

In the past, when he was in junior high school in his hometown town, he often went to the class teacher's house to make up classes. Sometimes he would not go back on Sundays, and he would often stay overnight at the class teacher's house.

Because of his excellent grades, the head teacher felt that he was a talent that could be developed.

In addition, his family conditions are not good.

Therefore, the teacher took special care of him and never charged him even a penny whether it was for accommodation, meals, or extra classes.

Because of this, over time, he became acquainted with his teacher's daughter, Shi Yuling, who was only in her teens at the time.

"We have moved since 2008." Shi Yuling said softly.

"No wonder, when I returned from Yuhang during the winter vacation of 2008, I wanted to visit Teacher Shi, but I couldn't find you." Su Yu said, "Where did you move to later, and... you are in Yuhang now Reading?"

Shi Yuling shook his head and said, "No, I stopped studying after graduating from high school. Now, I work in Yuhang."

"Work?" Su Yu was shocked inside, with a very surprised look in his eyes.

In Su Yu's memory, Shi Yuling was about four and a half years younger than him. He should have just turned 19 now, an age when he was full of youth and indulged in wanton indulgence under the ivory tower.

In his impression, Teacher Shi's style has always been strict.

He would never allow his precious daughter to give up her studies and work in the society at this age.

"Yes!" Shi Yuling responded softly. He didn't want Su Yu to ask more questions about himself and his family, so he smiled again and introduced to Su Yu, "Brother Su Yu, this is my best friend and colleague. , her name is Lin Qingya, she is from Rongcheng, and it was thanks to her that she took care of me when I first came to Yuhang."

With Shi Yuling’s introduction…

Su Yu greeted Lin Qingya with a smile, and then introduced Liang Bin to them.

"Brother Su Yu, are you working in a securities company now?" Shi Yuling said with admiration, "Is it in the Financial City? I knew that Brother Su Yu, you would definitely be successful."

"It used to be, but not anymore!"

Su Yu answered, and found that Shi Yuling was deliberately changing the subject, and asked calmly: "Where do you work now?"

"A modeling agency." Shi Yuling whispered.

Su Yu frowned slightly when he heard the words 'model agency'.

In his heart, Teacher Shi, who took good care of him and helped him get into a key high school, was one of the only respectable people in his life.

So, for the teacher’s only daughter.

Shi Yuling, in his heart, was like his own biological sister.

Although they had not seen each other for five years, and in his previous life, he had never seen the teacher or his family again after the teacher moved.

But from the inside...

He hopes that the teacher and his family will be well.

I hope Shi Yuling can grow up according to the happiest and ideal path and not take some detours and crooked paths.

In Su Yu's view, the modeling industry is an extension of the entertainment industry and is far less glamorous than what ordinary people see.

Shi Yuling was only 19 years old, and he didn't want her to stay in this industry for a long time.

After all, it is often difficult to resist some temptations and stick to one's own principles and bottom line when entering society for the first time in an industry full of chaos and chaos.

"It is an e-commerce graphic model company."

Seeing that Su Yu looked wrong, Lin Qingya next to Shi Yuling added.

Su Yu nodded slightly, knowing that after the explosion of mobile smart terminals, e-commerce has also further expanded its scale with the popularity of mobile Internet.

Online merchants’ demand for e-commerce graphic models has further surged.

Not to mention that this is Yuhang, where Ali Baba’s headquarters is located and the e-commerce capital of China.

"Teacher Shi and Mrs. Shi, will you allow me to work without going to college?" Su Yu paused for a while and asked.

When Shi Yuling saw Su Yu mentioning his parents again, he lowered his head, bit his lip gently, and said nothing.

Seeing her look, Su Yu guessed that something happened at the teacher's house. He sighed softly and did not dare to ask any more questions. He changed the subject: "Yuling, please give me your mobile phone number. I will remember it." Just a reminder, if you encounter any difficulties in Yuhang from now on, you can come to me."

"Yeah!" Shi Yuling nodded.

The depressed mood on his face disappeared in an instant, and he happily reported his mobile phone number to Su Yu.

Su Yu wrote down the number, then called back, and saw the cell phone in Shi Yuling's bag starting to ring.

Next, people at the table began to talk about some light topics. Shi Yuling had a lively personality. Even though he and Su Yu had not seen each other for a long time, and even though he was not familiar with Liang Bin at all, he could still talk about many common topics.

At eight o'clock in the evening, after dinner.

Liang Bin saw that Su Yu obviously wanted to ask Shi Yuling something, so he took his leave first.

Lin Qingya made random guesses in her mind about the relationship between Su Yu and Shi Yuling, and took a taxi to leave independently, regardless of her best friend's hints.

"Brother Su Yu, if you want to ask anything, just ask!" The two came to a cafe, and Shi Yuling said softly when he saw that there was no one else around.

Su Yu pushed a cup of warm coffee in front of Shi Yuling.

In my mind, I remembered many past events. I pondered for a moment and said, "Yu Ling, we... haven't seen each other for five years, right?"

"Well, you came to our house during the Spring Festival of 2008." Shi Yuling nodded lightly, "Five years and two months."

"What happened in the past five years?" Su Yu asked, "I remember that during the Spring Festival, you told me that you were going to be admitted to Zhezhou University. Now the changes... are too big."

"My parents... died in a car accident."

Facing Su Yu's inquiry, Shi Yuling was silent for a while and said softly: "It happened in April 2008. Then I transferred to school and lived at my aunt's house. No one lived in the original house, so I sold it."

Su Yu was shocked when he heard the news.

No wonder he hasn't seen Teacher Shi's family since the time point of 2008 in his previous life.

But it turned out that such a change had occurred.

It's also his fault that he didn't go to the school to inquire in detail before, mistakenly thinking that Teacher Shi was just transferred and moved.

"I didn't expect..." Su Yu felt a burst of sadness in his heart, "God always seems so moody at certain times."

"After moving to my aunt's house..."

Shi Yuling choked slightly and continued: "My academic performance began to plummet. I don't know why, but I feel like I can no longer learn."

"Is your aunt not being nice to you?" Su Yu asked.

Shi Yuling shook his head: "It's not bad, it just feels... I'm not used to it, and I want to leave the original place."

"During the college entrance examination, I failed to get into university. My aunt persuaded me to repeat the studies, but I gave up on my own."

Su Yu knew that the death of Teacher Shi and his wife must have left a huge trauma in Shi Yuling's heart, which led to her subsequent growth path.

He didn't know what to say about this.

After all, everything has happened, even if it is comfort, it comes too late at this time.

"What are your plans for the future?" Su Yu asked after being silent for a while.

Shi Yuling shook his head and said in a daze: "I don't know. Sometimes I feel like it's pretty good like this. Sometimes I feel like a ship lost in the sea and can't find the right direction."

"However, I don't want to go back, and I don't want to go back to school."

"Teacher Shi once said that only knowledge can change one's destiny." Su Yu said, "In this society, without academic qualifications or a relevant skill, life will be very difficult."

"Yu Ling, you are uniquely qualified in the field of graphic modeling, but the water in this field is too deep."

“If you get stuck deeply, it’s often difficult to get out.”

"I don't want to see you sink deeper and deeper into this field and take unnecessary detours."

"Teacher Shi has taught me and nurtured me. He is a person I respect in my heart. You are like my own sister in my heart."

"I know!" Shi Yuling said with a smile, "So I'm really happy to meet Brother Su Yu today."

"Actually, when I came to Yuhang, I also thought about you, Brother Su Yu, and hoped that one day we could meet by chance in this prosperous big city."

"I didn't expect... it would actually come true."

Su Yu looked at the bright and bright colors in her eyes and was very moved.

If Liang Bin hadn't insisted on treating him to hot pot tonight, the two of them would not have crossed paths at all. In fact, in the original time trajectory.

The two never met again.

He didn't understand Shi Yuling's subsequent life trajectory.

In his original memory, Shi Yuling was just the lively girl who was fixed in his mind five years ago.

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore." Shi Yuling smiled softly, suppressing all the unhappy past in her heart, "Let's talk about you, brother Su Yu. In the past five years... you have lived a good life. ?"

Su Yu thought of the experience of the past five years and said with a smile: "It's not bad. Compared to you, it's pretty calm."

"Then...do you have a girlfriend?" Shi Yuling asked hesitantly.
