Chapter 573 - 451: Sorry, He’s Just That Simple
"Why did you come back without turning on the light?" Ning Youguang opened the door and turned on the light.
She was startled to see Shi Wangyue standing by the door.
"I was just about to," Shi Wangyue chuckled, "but you’re quicker."
Then, his gaze was drawn to the locust flowers and textbooks she was holding, "Did you bring spring home?"
His refined features bore a shocked, amazed expression.
The scene was truly poetic, so amazing, and so beautiful.
"I picked them up on the way home from work, at our school," Ning Youguang handed him the textbooks along with the locust flowers she had tucked inside, "My bag was small today, so I had to tuck them in the textbook."
"You have locust trees at your school." Shi Wangyue gently took some clusters of snow-white locust flowers from Ning Youguang’s textbooks.
"Yes," Ning Youguang said, "There’s a road lined with locust trees on both sides, they’ve been there for many decades. The trees grew tall and strong, and the flowers are blooming well this year."
"Can you go pick some more tomorrow?" Shi Wangyue looked at the locust flowers in his hand, smiling lightly, "We can have locust flower dumplings for dinner."
Sorry, he’s just ordinary.
When he sees roses, he thinks of love.
When he sees locust flowers, he thinks of dumplings.

"The theme of this episode is ’Family Education’. I’m not sure if you’d like to appear on camera? When I mentioned to Ma Ge about inviting you, he was very happy, he’s been looking forward to meeting you for a long time. Not only he is thrilled, the directors of the show are also eager for you to join their program."
Late spring, early summer.
Famous domestic writer He Yuan personally drove to the University of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, hoping to invite Ning Youguang to appear on a cultural talk show.
The words penned by He Yuan are captivating and touching, yet in real life her character is straightforward, especially when dealing with old friends. She prefers speaking her mind rather than beating around the bush.
As soon as they sat down in a private room at the café outside the university, she directly stated her purpose.
"’Old Friends’ is a great show worth watching. I’ve been following every season; it’s one of my favorite talk shows." Ning Youguang had just placed an order on a mobile app.
No need for He Yuan to introduce ’Old Friends’ in detail, as Ning Youguang is already very familiar with the show.
The show’s main focus is "chatting about culture with cultured people" and "having conversations with those skilled at chatting."
Enjoying tea, gathering around a table, a few people chatting without a script, engaging in spontaneous conversations from equal perspectives, sharing wisdom is the show’s norm and distinguishing feature.
The program records in a setting themed around a Chinese-style study room, with famous hosts inviting guests from various fields. They start with a discussion point and broaden from there, offering viewers new insights.
Each episode’s topics are grounded in the internet yet encompass the world, wide-ranging and closely aligned with contemporary developments and viewers’ lives.
Since its first broadcast years ago, it has been widely praised online, having now produced six seasons.
Each season is well-loved by audiences, a talk show that has achieved great success, becoming a spiritual solace in the busy lives of many domestically over the years.
He Yuan referred to Ma Ge, who is the show’s host, a famous middle-aged male host known for his witty yet profound hosting style.
"Are you willing to be on camera?" He Yuan’s eyes lit up.
"Who is the other guest?" Ning Youguang asked with a light smile.
According to Ning Youguang’s observation, each episode of ’Old Friends’ invites guests with various personalities, work backgrounds, and areas of knowledge to provoke brilliant and thought-provoking ideas.
With guests having different personalities, experiences, and expertise, they each have their own perspectives and opinions on the same issue, and this multi-angle approach provides audiences with more insights unknowingly.
The show’s atmosphere has always been great, at least that’s how it appears off-camera.
"I don’t know yet, but it should be a celebrity." He Yuan replied, "You wouldn’t refuse because of this, would you? Rest assured, any celebrity appearing on ’Old Friends’ isn’t some random celebrity."
