Chapter 1098: Hello, Harvard; I am Pei Ge.
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Harvard was the oldest university in the United States. According to sources, it was established by the first batch of English migrants. At over three hundred and seventy years old, it had a much longer history than most architecture in America by a hundred years.
Since young, Pei Ge always had yearned to come here.
Little did she expect that she would one day set foot in this prestigious institution of higher education and even become one of its students! This was simply unbelievable!
Walking in this beautiful university, the woman felt as if she were on cloud nine.
Nobody in this campus was in glamorous clothes or had a face full of makeup. None could be seen lazing around either and there were only fast footsteps with everybody looking energetic.
Although she had yet to assimilate fully into the school environment, she could sense the atmosphere of this world-renowned school!
“The professor told us to walk around first. He’s still in his lab.”
Seeing the woman beside him looking at her surroundings with bright eyes, Egger’s face became even gentler.
In fact, the reason he attended Harvard was her.
He remembered this woman telling him that the university she wanted to attend the most was this one.
Therefore, on the off chance that he might meet the young girl he loved here, he attended this university.
A pity that he never did meet her here even until his graduation.
“Mhm! Then, let’s walk around!” The woman nodded in agreement.
“Oh, right, Sh—Egger.” She called his English name when she remembered him telling her that his name was not Shen Rui.
“You’re a Harvard student, aren’t you? I heard that you’re around here. Tsk. Your grades used to be average. Indeed, you’re holding back your brilliance at that time, weren’t you?”
His smile became gentler as he listened to her praise.
“Mhm.” He nodded his head lightly. His family’s situation was too complicated back then.
Hence, he could do nothing that would cause him to be in the limelight or attract attention.
Even though he had the brains, he had no choice but to conceal it. He did all that in order not to attract attention and survive.
“I knew it! You’re just as I guessed!”
The woman’s eyes flashed with pride once he nodded in admittance to her conjecture.
Seeing how proud she was of him, he felt his heart thump with gentleness.
He used to think that each day of his life was not indispensable.
He felt that his daily life was monotonous and tedious, but the moment he met this woman, he realized that his body and mind could be filled with unlimited satisfaction just by looking at her…
Pei Ge chatted with him while they walked around Harvard. As much as she wanted to see every part of this huge university, her present strength was just not up to the task.
“Alright. Let’s rest.”
As such, she readily agreed when the man suggested that they take a rest at this school’s cafeteria.
She originally thought that the student cafeteria would have a relaxed and comfortable environment, but once they got there, she was surprised to see that there were any chit-chatting students around.
Every person seated here was eating while either reading or making notes.
She had never seen anything like this before.
After all, which school had students who were not chatting while eating during breaks in canteens?
All of a sudden, she wondered whether this area was a canteen or a library.
She really felt that she was in a library, instead.
Because of this, she did not dare to chat with the man. After silently eating her pizza and drinking her juice, she did not wish to stay there for a moment more and led him out of the restaurant by the hand.
She only dared to speak after leaving the student cafeteria.
“Gosh. Harvard is really Harvard! Everyone’s so serious!” expressed Pei Ge, her face full of yearning.
Since all these students, who were more outstanding than her, were diligently studying, what reason did a normal person like her have to be lazy?
“It’s fine. If you can’t adapt to it, you can—”
Egger comforted the woman who sounded to have been frightened by Harvard’s learning culture.
She quickly interrupted him before he could finish speaking.
“How will I dare? Those who are better than I am are already working so hard; what reasons do I have to be lazy?”
She blinked her eyes at him.
“That’s why I must quickly adapt to this kind of environment to become an equally outstanding person!”
Seeing her determination, the man brimmed with pride.
This was the girl he liked—the person he loved.
“I understand.” He looked at the woman, whose height just reached up to his shoulders, and nodded.
He really yearned to embrace her at this moment.
He wanted to tell her that she was already very outstanding. In fact, she was the most outstanding woman in his eyes…
However, now was not the time. He could not scare her away…
“Right. Tell me more about Prof. William and the others!”
“Sure.”
The two strolled in different corners of Harvard as they chatted.
A pregnant Asian woman and a man with black hair were walking side by side.
They looked like a pair of loving husband and wife, appearing beautiful and heartwarming.
Even some Harvard students with fast-paced lifestyles and purpose-driven lives could not help turning their heads to look at the two when they walked past…
“Egger, Hani, I’ve finally found you two!”
