Chapter 1139: Chapter 1122: Missing
"Why take a detour?"
A classmate asked.
The girl replied, "Too embarrassed to face people!"
Kang Li smiled and said, "I was just lucky to score well on the exam, everyone doesn’t need to make such a fuss."
"It’s not us making a fuss, Kang Li, you’re really remarkable. Although you’ve always been a celebrity in our school, now you’re even more famous!"
Wang Pan’s face beamed with a smile, as if she was the one graduating early and achieving amazing scores. Her voice was crisp and cheerful: "Twenty courses across two majors, you completed them in just a year and a half, with full marks in every subject. Anyone who hears this news wouldn’t stay calm, right classmates?"
"Right!"
The classmates surrounding Kang Li, men and women alike, shouted in unison.
"Listen, listen, when I saw the notice about Kang Li’s early graduation and the scores in the announcement board, I thought I was seeing things. But after rubbing my eyes several times, I realized I wasn’t seeing things, and suddenly felt like I was soaking in a vat of jealousy!"
"Haha... You’re quite straightforward, admitting that Kang Li’s results made you jealous!"
"Am I the only one feeling jealous?"
"I say, Kang Li is truly a genius!"
A male classmate shouted out.
"I agree with Li Hui. Kang Li is the genius of geniuses, that’s no exaggeration!"
Listening to the congratulations and kind discussions surrounding her, Kang Li actually felt a bit embarrassed, as every word entering her ears sounded like flattery. If her skin were thinner, she’d surely blush.
Minutes passed, Kang Li exchanged polite words with the class, then left the classroom, intending to head back to the two-story house she shared with Luo Yanqing to tidy up, greet Elder Loh and his wife in the neighboring yard, and return to the main courtyard.
Unexpectedly, Wang Pan followed her out.
"Kang Li."
"Hmm?"
Stopping, Kang Li waited for Wang Pan to come over. Standing face to face, she smiled and asked, "Is there something you want to tell me?"
"Can I visit you during the summer holidays?"
Wang Pan looked at Kang Li, her eyes somewhat evasive.
"Are you using the visit as an excuse to get closer to my little brother?" Kang Li blinked her bright fox-like eyes. Seeing Wang Pan’s face turn red, she chuckled, "Alright, I won’t tease you anymore, but I can’t guarantee I’ll be home when you come."
Upon hearing this, Wang Pan couldn’t help but ask, "Are you going somewhere?"
Kang Li didn’t hide anything, saying, "My family might go back to our hometown. If not, I’ll probably be taking the kids to the Youth Palace for classes, so I can’t promise I’ll be home every day."
"Then I’ll call your home before visiting; that should be fine, right?!"
Wang Pan said, not waiting for Kang Li to respond, and added, "Last summer I got bored staying at home, wanted to go out but didn’t know where to go. Have pity on me, will you?"
"Alright, write down my home phone number."
As soon as Kang Li said this, Wang Pan quickly uncapped her pen, and upon hearing Kang Li recite a string of numbers, she immediately wrote them on the cover of the textbook she was holding.
"I’ll jot it down here first, then I’ll copy it to my notebook later, so I don’t lose your home phone number if this book disappears." Speaking of which, Wang Pan asked Kang Li about her academic plans, "Now that you’ve graduated, are you going straight into work, or continuing your studies?"
Kang Li: "I’m going to graduate school."
Wang Pan: "But I heard someone from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs came to school asking for you, did you turn them down?"
"It’s not really refusing, just keeping it flexible," Kang Li never intended to devote all her energy to one job, since she plans to be a laid-back person in this life. Once she officially starts working for a company or institution, with her principles, she’d never neglect her duties.
In this way, it would obviously go against her idea of living a relaxed life.
So, after a series of discussions, she became a nominal member of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, meaning her work nature is flexible and doesn’t require her to stay in one position permanently.
To be honest, Kang Li didn’t even major in foreign languages, but her college entrance scores and performance at Shuimu University were outstanding, and she showed exceptional linguistic talent,
