Chapter 351
Two days later, Hubert received a call from Leon, saying to pick up the wind for their brother and sister.
However, the project of Latitude Technology was in a hurry. Hubert had been working overtime for the past two days to familiarize himself with the business, so the matter of receiving the wind was pushed to Sunday.
In the twinkling of an eye on the weekend, Meghan will start school on Monday. She packed her things and planned to put them in the dormitory one day in advance to avoid rushing the next day.
At noon on Sunday, she packed the suitcase and went to the restaurant where she met with Hubert.
Leon has arrived. The weather is getting warmer. He is wearing a long trench coat with a beige turtleneck sweater inside. He looks young and handsome. Sitting in the dining room attracts many girls’ eyes.
Meghan took a seat with Hubert and smiled at him: “Brother Leon.”
“Little niece, school will start soon, right?” Leon said, “Do you plan to live in school or go home every day?”
Meghan said: “Look at that time. If there are classes in the evening, live on campus, and if there are no classes in the evening, go home.”
Leon nodded: “Girls still have to pay attention to safety, and it is best not to go out at night.”
As he said, he gave the menu to the brothers and sisters: “Look, what you like to eat, order whatever you like.”
The three of them ordered food and halfway through the meal, Hubert received a call from the company.
Although his father is one of the two major shareholders of Latitude Technology today, in order to exercise his son, when Hubert came over, he had already greeted him without special care.
Therefore, after hearing the situation, Hubert immediately agreed and rushed to the company to deal with the situation.
He hung up the phone, a little embarrassed: “Brother Leon, there is an urgent matter over there, I’m afraid I have to go.”
After that, he rushed to Meghan and said: “Meghan, you are going to take the luggage to school, do you think I will send it to you after get off work or whether”
Leon interrupted him: “You were planning to go to school? I just happened to be free. Let me send my little niece to Ningda University!”
“Then trouble Leon brother.” Hubert said, ate his food in a hurry, and hurried to the company.
Only Meghan and Leon were left at the table. Meghan took a sip of juice, and suddenly, she didn’t know what topic to find.
The atmosphere was a little silent, but Leon asked her, “Little niece, what major do you study?”
“Design.” Meghan said: “My mother likes to paint, and my father built a large studio for her in the UK. I have been nurtured since childhood, so I also like painting and design, especially traditional Chinese elements. So I returned to China to go to university.”
“Well, girls learn this well.” Leon nodded and drank his drink slowly.
There was silence again, and after a while, Meghan raised his eyes: “Brother Leon, can you discuss something with you?”
“Okay, you said.” He looked at her with a faint smile.
“Don’t call me little niece, okay? You are in the same generation as you!” Meghan pouted.
Leon was amused. He leaned close to her a bit, with a bit of playfulness in his eyes: “When I was a child, I went to your house. You called me uncle back then. Why didn’t you admit it in a blink of an eye?”
She didn’t believe it: “The last time we met, you said you were only ten years old when you saw me, how could I call you uncle?!”
“Little niece!” He raised his eyebrows.
She was anxious and stood up: “I am not a little niece! I am 19 years old and will be the legal age of marriage in China next year! In the UK, it is already age!”
He deliberately said “Oh” with a long tone: “It’s amazing, you can get married? Then you introduce your husband to me?”
Seeing that he was joking at all, she was heartbroken, turned around and took out the makeup mirror from her bag, and handed it to Leon: “Look, it’s him!”
Leon swept his eyes and saw that a waiter happened to be passing by, so he deliberately turned his mirror to the waiter, so he exaggerated: “Little niece, is he your husband?”
Meghan wrinkled her face, looked at Leon fiercely for a few seconds, and then snatched the makeup mirror back.
After a while, Leon didn’t speak any more when seeing the girl, so he took the initiative to say: “Are you angry?”
She still kept her head buried, eating, but said nothing.
Leon only thought that the child was like this, and he didn’t care too much. He put some dishes for Meghan, and the waiter put an ice cream in front of Meghan: “Okay, just kidding, don’t be angry with your uncle. Up!”
Meghan was actually not angry, but it was a bit sad to hear him always say that he was an uncle and always push her out.
After two seconds, she raised her eyes and looked at him seriously: “I’m really not a kid anymore. I will be 20 next year and I can get married.”
Leon was stunned by the look in her eyes, and couldn’t help but really doubt it, is it because the little girl is interesting to him?
However, then he felt that they were ten years old, and the child had only seen him for the third time. How could she like him?
However, if he gives her any illusion, let her understand as soon as possible.
Therefore, Leon nodded and said seriously: “Well, I see, but you are only going to university and you should study hard. When you graduate, if you want to stay in Cohasset, I will introduce you to your age and family background. Nice boy.”
Seeing her biting her lip, the light in her eyes was going to be extinguished at any time, and he added: “I have a lot of friends here in Cohasset, and I have all the resources in my hands. I will definitely introduce you to the best of.”
So, whether she took his suggestion seriously or not, what he meant just now is obvious. Meghan turned her eyes away and looked down at the matcha ice cream in the white porcelain bowl in front of her, trying hard not to lose her mind.
She nodded: “Okay.”
Later, Meghan didn’t mention this topic again, instead asking questions about Cohasset’s situation one after another.
After the two of them ate, Leon pulled Meghan’s trolley case and took her into the car.
Ning University enrolls in spring, mostly international students and special enrollment students. Banners have already been hung at the campus gate to welcome new students.
Leon stopped the car and walked into the campus with Meghan. When he saw the energetic students around him, he suddenly sighed: “It seems that I have been away from the campus for a long time, and I can hardly remember the feeling of going to school.”
“Brother Leon, otherwise you will come and listen after school starts?” Meghan said, “When you wear casual clothes, you are actually just like a college student, you look very young.”
“You know, my brother is funny, his wife is at school, surrounded by small meat, he is not relieved, so he also came to school.” Leon couldn’t help but laugh when he thought of Lewis’s post.
“He also came to secretly take lessons?” Meghan asked curiously.
“No, he came here with integrity.” Leon said, “He came as a guest professor.”
Meghan couldn’t help but laughed: “Haha, that’s amazing! But is he much older than his wife?”
Leon said: “Seven years old, not too much, right.”
When Meghan heard this, she couldn’t help but muttered: “It’s not too much for others to be seven years old. Why do we say that we are one generation short of ten?”
“Huh?” Leon didn’t hear clearly, and turned to ask her.
“Nothing.” She pouted, looked at the sign, and pointed in one direction: “Our dormitory seems to be over there.”
At this time, a senior came over and said to Meghan: “Classmate, are you a freshman this year?”
Meghan nodded: “Yes, I am from human resources, and the dormitory is East No. 5.”
The senior nodded: “Oh, East Building No. 5 is over there. Just go straight there. There is a list of dormitory assignments for Auntie on the first floor. Just follow that one.”
Boys in the dormitory here are generally not allowed to go to the girls’ building, but the situation is special because school just started today.
Leon took Meghan’s luggage and came to her dormitory. It was a suite with a balcony and a separate bathroom. There were 4 people in a dormitory with beds on the top and a writing desk below.
Two classmates have already arrived, and they greeted them with a smile.
After all, Leon was of the opposite sex and felt that it was not good to be in the room, so after putting down her luggage, he waited for Meghan in the corridor outside.
Meghan put all the clothes in the cabinet, sorted the bags, and was about to leave, when the girl on the bed opposite her blinked at her: “Is that your brother? So handsome!”
Meghan turned her head and saw Leon standing in the corridor with her hands in her trench coat pockets casually. Her profile was delicate and three-dimensional. Somehow, she blurted out: “He is not my brother, he is my boyfriend!”
“Ah!” The other girl was also surprised, and came over: “Wow, you are only in your freshman year, and you have a boyfriend? Is he in graduate school?”
“No.” Meghan shook his head: “He is at work.”
“Why do I think he is a bit familiar?” The girl said before: “The more I look at it, the more familiar I am. I don’t know where I have seen it.”
Meghan suddenly remembered the recent scandal between Dumanman and Leon, and suddenly felt a bit slapped. She waved her hand quickly and squinted her eyes: “The handsome guys are all about the same shape. Don’t tell me. He’s still waiting for me. Let’s go first. See you tomorrow!”
“Oh, well, see you tomorrow! Have a good date!” The two girls are very friendly.
When Meghan escaped from the dormitory, her face was still red.
Seeing her in a hurry, Leon asked, “Is everything packed? Don’t worry, it doesn’t matter if I wait a while.”
“Take it away!” Meghan said, grabbing Leon’s wrist and hurried out.
Helpless, he walked out quickly with her: “A wolf is chasing you behind?”
“No, I’m afraid they will be dizzy by you, I have to call an ambulance!” Meghan was smiling, a winter jasmine flower under the dormitory was blown by the wind, and a petal fell in her hair.
Bright yellow petals, long black hair, smiles on the girl’s cheeks, her eyes seemed to be full of light.
Leon was in a daze for a moment, and suddenly felt that such vigor seemed to have been missing for a long time, and it reminded him of what he looked like when he first entered university.
She didn’t seem to feel the petals, she was still talking to him, but he didn’t pay attention. Instead, he looked at the petals for several seconds, leaned over, and swiped it down with his fingertips.
She stopped talking, raised her eyes and looked at him blankly, her ears creeping up with powder.
He sighed at her: “It’s nice to be young.”
Her heartbeat was still fast, and her voice was slightly softer: “You are young too.”
“You don’t understand.” He said, watching the petals be blown away by the wind, and moved forward: “Let’s go and take you home.”
