Chapter 574 - 451: Sorry, He’s Just That Vulgar (2)
"How could I?" Ning Youguang chuckled and shook her head. "I have no bias against celebrities."
"That’s good." He Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. "So, did you agree?"
"Hello, Teacher Ning, your coffee is ready."
The two had arranged to meet at a coffee shop outside the University of Science and Technology, not a place Ning Youguang frequents, but everyone from the owner to the staff knew her.
Let’s not talk about this coffee shop.
In fact, within a few kilometers of the university, Teacher Ning is absolutely well-known. There’s no one who doesn’t know her.
"Thank you." Ning Youguang smiled as she watched the clean-cut young service guy place a matcha latte and a snow-top coffee in front of them.
"Teacher Ning, we’re out of the tiramisu you ordered. Do you want something else?" The clean-cut young server stood up, not daring to look Ning Youguang directly in the eyes.
He Yuan watched with amusement as the server’s face flushed red.
"Then let’s go with the cheesecake." Ning Youguang said.
"Alright, please wait a moment."
After the young server shyly retreated from the private room, He Yuan teasingly turned to Ning Youguang.
"The young man is shy."
"He’s a student from my school, usually a bit introverted." Ning Youguang laughed.
The private room they chose today was perfect, what with the view outside of a lush pomegranate tree.
The pomegranate flowers blooming at the tips of its branches were vibrant, like blazing flames.
...
He Yuan’s cheerful invitation, Ning Youguang’s cheerful acceptance.
The episode of "Old Friends" they agreed on was soon being recorded in the Apple Video studio.
Right after agreeing to He Yuan’s invitation, Ning Youguang put the matter aside.
So, until she arrived at the studio, she had no idea who the other celebrity was besides herself, He Yuan, and Ma Zhou.
It wasn’t until she saw Zhou Tang in a casual trendy outfit in the Apple Video studio, that she realized he was the other guest.
"Ning family’s little sister?" Zhou Tang arrived last and was about to greet Ma Zhou when he saw Ning Youguang next to him, eyes wide open.
"Brother Zhou." Ning Youguang smiled. "What a coincidence."
"Yeah, what a coincidence." Zhou Tang awkwardly rubbed his nose, quickly turning to look at the bewildered assistant Xiaoxian behind him.
"Tangtang, come on in." Ma Zhou was pleasantly surprised to see that Zhou Tang and Ning Youguang knew each other. "I didn’t expect you to know Professor Ning."
"Indeed." Zhou Tang quickly regained a natural demeanor and chose to reveal a bit about their relationship. "Her brother and I are good friends."
"No wonder, no wonder." Ma Zhou couldn’t hide his amazement, his gaze shifting between Zhou Tang and Ning Youguang. "Since you’re old acquaintances, today’s show should definitely have great chemistry."
He looked over at He Yuan, who was equally surprised. "That’s right, Teacher He?"
"Of course." He Yuan got up with a smile and proactively shook hands with Zhou Tang behind her. "I didn’t expect the show to invite such a handsome guy today."
"Teacher He, nice to meet you." Zhou Tang said with a bright smile.
"Nice to meet you."
Zhou Tang had arrived just in time for the scheduled recording. After some brief exchanges, it was soon the official time for recording the program.
The studio quickly settled into silence as Ma Zhou slowly lit an incense stick. "Today we warmly welcome Teacher Ning, Teacher He, and Tangtang to discuss family education with me. Apart from Teacher He, who often guides our work, Teacher Ning and Tangtang are newcomers to our program."
The camera turned, and Ma Zhou began introducing Ning Youguang and Zhou Tang. "I won’t say much about Tangtang; with that face, I’m sure everyone outside the frame knows him. Today, I’d like to focus on introducing Teacher Ning to our viewers..."
Afterward, he gave a shoutout to Zhou Tang. "Tangtang won’t mind me being biased, right?"
"Not at all." Zhou Tang sat calmly at one end of the table, his demeanor steady, hands tightly clasped.
"Tangtang seems a bit serious today." Ma Zhou continued to cue Zhou Tang, "Is it because we invited two beauties on the program today?"
Zhou Tang pretended to inadvertently lower his head, casually chuckling, "That’s right."
"Professor Ning is very easy-going, no need to be awkward, superstar." He Yuan took the opportunity to tease Zhou Tang.
Though "Old Friends" is unscripted, it was clear Zhou Tang was invited this episode to boost ratings.
Hence, he was the designated draw for today’s program.
Zhou Tang also joined the program to enhance his positive image; mutual benefits. He was very aware of his role today.
"I am indeed a bit embarrassed." Zhou Tang cast a demure glance at Ning Youguang, sitting gracefully by his side. "It’s mainly because Professor Ning is so ethereal. I’ve seen many beauties, but rarely a fairy."
"Oh~" He Yuan and Ma Zhou playfully made some noise.
"Brother Zhou’s joking; you all take it too seriously." Ning Youguang generously said, "He often comes to my house to bum meals. I’ve never seen him playing nice when competing for crabs with me."
Not only is Teacher Ning a professor in the psychology department at the University of Science and Technology,
I’ve noticed you also hold a position in the Juvenile Delinquency Prevention Research Association.
So, we need to address the younger generation’s issues. We’ve had many topics raised online and one topic frequently brought up is timeless—breakups.
