The night was deep, and a bright moon hung high in the sky, casting a cold, clear light. The surrounding stars were sparse, twinkling faintly.
Jiang Ning stood on the balcony of Su Meng's villa, holding the phone and speaking with Zheng Kailong, the principal of Qingbei University.
"Hello, Principal Zheng. I'm so sorry to bother you so late."
On the other end, Zheng Kailong's expression was tense, his heart filled with anxiety that Jiang Ning might refuse the invitation. He quickly responded, "Hello, Master Jiang! I sincerely extended the invitation to you earlier. I was wondering what you've decided?"
Jiang Ning replied calmly, "Yes, I've carefully considered it, and I accept your invitation, Principal Zheng. However, I'd like to know what the next steps are."
Hearing this, Zheng Kailong was overcome with excitement, his voice brimming with joy. "Really? That's wonderful, Master Jiang! I'm deeply honored to receive such an answer from you. On behalf of Qingbei University, especially the faculty and students of the Dance Academy, I warmly welcome you, Master Jiang!"
Jiang Ning frowned slightly, asking in confusion, "Principal Zheng, didn't you say earlier that I could teach through the remote live streaming classroom?"
Zheng Kailong quickly explained, "Ah, yes, that's right, Master Jiang. Would it be possible for you to first visit our school to complete the onboarding procedures?
Additionally, if time permits, would you be willing to conduct an in-person public lecture? After all, the impact of live teaching is far superior to that of online streaming, and it's also more convenient.
Just one public lecture would suffice. After that, Master Jiang, you can teach remotely via live stream whenever you have time. If you're unable to make time, we won't insist. What do you think?"
Zheng Kailong felt some trepidation, knowing his request was somewhat excessive.
As an Honorary Professor, he wasn't actually required to teach. However, for the long-term development of the Dance Academy, he had mustered the courage to make this plea.
After all, Jiang Ning's dance mastery had reached the Grandmaster level—a realm that few in history had ever set foot in. With his current status in the dance world, Jiang Ning stood at the pinnacle, peerless and unique.
A brief silence followed on the other end of the line.
Fine beads of sweat broke out on Zheng Kailong's forehead. He knew his request was somewhat unreasonable, and he feared it might offend Jiang Ning, leading him to refuse the Honorary Professor position again.
After a moment's thought, Jiang Ning slowly said, "Alright, I'll head to Kyoto tomorrow."
Zheng Kailong's expression lit up, his voice trembling slightly. "That's wonderful! Master Jiang, thank you so much! I'll arrange for someone to meet you at the airport tomorrow."
Jiang Ning cautiously replied, "No need for that, Principal Zheng. I'd prefer my identity remain as discreet as possible. Please don't use my real name when processing my employment paperwork."
Zheng Kailong quickly and solemnly assured him, "Rest assured, Master Jiang, we will meticulously safeguard your personal information."
"Very well. I'll hang up now. See you tomorrow."
"See you tomorrow, Master Jiang."
The line went dead with a series of dial tones.
"So, are you going to Kyoto's Qingbei tomorrow?" Su Meng asked curiously from the side.
"Principal Zheng asked me to go to Qingbei to handle my employment procedures and also help conduct a public lecture," Jiang Ning explained patiently.
"Oh, I see. Honey, why don't you take my private jet tomorrow? You'll get there and back quickly, and you can be back by tomorrow night."
Su Meng suggested, though she harbored some ulterior motives.
She had originally wanted to accompany Jiang Ning back to her alma mater to visit, but unfortunately, she had just received a large order from German Schmidt. With her company's affairs swamped, she couldn't get away these days.
Moreover, having Jiang Ning take a private jet back and forth was mainly because she worried he might be pestered by the female students at Qingbei Dance Academy. She feared he might lose control and do something to betray her.
After all, the female students at Qingbei Dance Academy were all youthful, beautiful, and had enviable figures.
Jiang Ning, with his striking looks, exceptional dancing skills, and status as an Honorary Professor at such a young age, was bound to attract the attention of many girls.
Thus, Su Meng arranged for a private jet to wait at the airport. She figured this would prevent Jiang Ning from staying overnight in Kyoto, keeping him away from those fawning admirers and allowing her to rest easy.
This was Su Meng's current state of mind. She didn't understand why her feelings had changed so drastically. They had clearly agreed that Jiang Ning could search for true love during their engagement, and he had promised to marry only her and have no other intentions.
Yet, after these weeks of close contact with Jiang Ning, her feelings for him had soared like an arrow. Now, she desperately wanted him to belong entirely to her.
She now dismissed their earlier agreement about him finding true love as a joke, sincerely hoping that this so-called "true love" would never appear.
"Wifey, wouldn't taking my private jet be too ostentatious? Never mind, I'll just fly economy class." Jiang Ning said after a moment's thought.
Su Meng was resolute. "No, darling, you must take my private jet. My private jet just sits at the airport idle most of the time, and the maintenance costs are quite high. Just use it. You must return by tomorrow night. I need to see you."
Hearing Su Meng's unyielding stance, Jiang Ning couldn't help but be surprised. He wondered to himself, *What's gotten into Su Meng? It's like she's taken some kind of magic pill.*
"Wifey, I'd like to bring Mengmeng with us," Jiang Ning said with a smile, no longer dwelling on Su Meng's unusual behavior.
"Bring Mengmeng?" Su Meng looked surprised.
Jiang Ning nodded seriously. "Yes, I want her to experience the university atmosphere and broaden her horizons by seeing more of the beautiful landscapes of our Great Xia."
"Oh, hehe, that's wonderful!" Su Meng's face lit up with joy.
With Mengmeng, her little shadow, by Jiang Ning's side, Su Meng felt he wouldn't do anything to betray her.
At that moment, Su Meng's heart was full of happiness. This was probably a sign of being in love—once you liked a boy, you wanted to keep him all to yourself, afraid someone might snatch him away.
Now that Mengmeng could stay close to Jiang Ning, Su Meng's uneasy heart finally settled.
She also had absolute faith in Jiang Ning's affection for Mengmeng, knowing he would never let her suffer even the slightest injustice.
"Wifey, what do you mean 'that's wonderful'? I'm not trying to nag you, but you've been acting a little strange today," Jiang Ning said, scrutinizing Su Meng.
"Oh, honey, you're overthinking it. Anyway, I'm not talking to you anymore. I'm going to take a bath." Su Meng dodged Jiang Ning's gaze, tossed her head with a triumphant air, and walked away from the building with her hands behind her back, her steps full of haughty confidence.
Watching Su Meng's youthful, girlish figure disappear, Jiang Ning felt a wave of helplessness.
A girl's mind was like a needle at the bottom of the sea—the more he tried to fathom it, the more confused he became. He decided it was best not to waste any more effort trying to figure her out.
