Chapter: 6667

After thinking for a long time, Lin Wan'er said with uncertainty, "It's been a bit of a while, and I'm not very clear about it. However, it was before the War Between the States, and after the war broke out, I left North America."

As she spoke, she hesitated and said, "I think it should be around 1854 or 1855..."

Ye Chen coughed awkwardly twice and said, "Ah-ah... I knew this would be a long time ago, but I didn't expect it to be so far away..."

Lin Wan'er laughed. "Although you might feel that it's a long time ago, I was already over two hundred years old at the time. It was around then that the United States established many state universities, and I got bored and decided to attend some schools. Since my appearance hasn't changed much, I didn't dare stay in one place for too long, so I just read through my courses quickly and moved on to find another university. It was like a form of entertainment during my escape."

As she spoke, Lin Wan'er added, "Oh yes, there's a photograph of the first batch of students and teachers at this school's archives, and I'm in it. However, that photo is very old and blurry, so I'm sure you wouldn't be able to recognize me from it either..."

Ye Chen searched for more information on the university website with curiosity, and indeed found the earliest batch of students' photograph, a picture over a hundred years old that had become yellowed and fuzzy. However, Ye Chen was still able to find Lin Wan'er's figure among the many well-dressed men in Western clothing, and Lin Wan'er appeared quite petite in the photo, with a hint of an Indian girl's features due to the overall yellow tone.

Ye Chen recognized Lin Wan'er because she had mentioned it earlier. Otherwise, looking at the photograph alone would be too vague...

After taking a closer look at this group photo, Ye Chen exclaimed in surprise, "There seem to be very few female students at this school..."

"That's right," Lin Wan'er said. "At that time, men and women were not equal, and women's social status was not high either. They didn't get much attention from their families or recognition for their studies, so being able to attend university was indeed a minority..."

Ye Chen couldn't help but sigh: "Lin Miss's life has been too rich and colorful."

Lin Wan'er smiled: "Noble Young Master will definitely be able to seek eternal life, and at that time, Noble Young Master will also be able to feel that kind of rich and colorful life."

Ye Chen shook his head: "Social progress is too fast. Even if I live forever, one lifetime won't need to dodge Wu Feiyan's pursuit like Lin Miss did back then, but at that time, I would have to work hard to avoid the world, imagine Lin Miss back then using different identities to roam around the world and blend into local lives, the possibility no longer exists."

In the evening, Ye Chen estimated that his wife Xiu Ru should have already gone home from work, so he bid farewell to Lin Wan'er and had Hong Wu send him back to Tongchen's residence.

Arriving at their own villa gate, only Xiu Ru's BMW was parked in the yard, with no sign of Xiu Changkun's library car. Ye Chen guessed that only his wife was home, so he tidied up a bit to look somewhat disheveled and then walked to the front door.

Just about to push open the door, he heard a familiar but not family-like sound coming from inside. The voice said: "Ru, won't you ask Ye Chen when he's done? Let him go back as soon as possible. If he can catch up with us, we'll all go together; if not, just the two of us will go."

The speaker was none other than Xiu Ru's good friend, Dong Jiaoling.

Ye Chen's mind was in a haze, unsure what Dong Jiaoling had come to fetch Xiu Ru for this time. At that moment, he also heard Xiu Ru say: "Ye Chen is hard to communicate with in the Northwest, and besides, he has important matters; I can't urge him because of something so trivial."

Ye Chen pushed open the door and said with a smile: "What's going on? It's so mysterious."

Upon hearing Ye Chen's voice, Xiu Ru and Dong Jiaoling became excited at almost the same time and exclaimed simultaneously:

"Hey, my husband has come back!"

"Ye Chen, you're back!"

Ye Chen smiled: "That's right. I just got back."

Xiu Ru rushed out to say: "Honey, why didn't you mention you were coming back? I was going to pick you up at the airport."

Ye Chen laughed: "Hong Wu sent me back. He was really enthusiastic about it. The plane hadn't taken off yet when he was already waiting for me at the airport, so I didn't tell you either. I wanted to surprise you instead."

Dong Jiaoling stood up from the sofa at this moment, her big eyes shining with excitement as she exclaimed: "Ye Chen, it's been a long time!" JrNovels.com
