International Airport Terminal

Yu Xi was incredibly nervous.

Grandma Jian had just informed him that Jian Yiling was going to arrive in the capital this afternoon on an international flight. She asked him to come and pick Jian Yiling up.

It had been three years! God Ling was finally back!

Three years ago, Master Sheng had suddenly gone back to the capital. As a result, he hadn’t even attended their final game.

God Ling had been missing as well.

Due to this, in the end, Jian Yiling’s lackey, An Yang, and one of his friends had to fill in for them.

Yu Xi was very angry. However, he wasn’t angry about the fact that Zhai Yunsheng and Jian Yiling failed to play in their final game. He wasn’t even angry that they had lost the chance to become the champions.

Instead, he was angry at what those two did!

They were teammates!

Yet the two of them had abandoned him just like that!

However, Yu Xi was only angry for a while. His anger quickly subsided.

Although games were important, it still wasn’t as important as his friends.

After his anger fully subsided, Yu Xi returned to the capital to study at university.

As Zhai Yunsheng was no longer playing around, Yu Xi had to follow him back to school and finish his university studies.

During this time, Yu Xi heard that Jian Yiling did not have to wait until next year to take her college entrance exams. Instead, she passed the examination for an overseas university that winter. As a result, she was accepted directly into that university.

At the beginning of the following spring, she went abroad with her second brother.

For the past two years, Jian Yiling and her brother Jian Yunmo spent most of their time overseas.

The two of them would only come back briefly for the Chinese New Year.

And thus, Yu Xi hadn’t seen Jian Yiling for three whole years.

According to Grandma Jian, Jian Yiling had only returned because there was an exchange program between her foreign university and the Beijing University.

As soon as Grandma Jian heard that Jian Yiling was going to the capital, she immediately asked Yu Xi to take care of her precious granddaughter. Grandma Jian knew that Yu Xi was currently in Beijing.

And thus, Yu Xi arrived at the airport with great anticipation.

He was also incredibly nervous at the same time.

Three years had passed. He wondered what kind of person God Ling had grown up to be.

Had she grown up to be a beautiful and gorgeous woman?

After the flight arrived, there were many people who came out from the exit.

Yu Xi stretched his neck to look for Jian Yiling.

Finally, he saw a girl wearing black slim-fitting jeans with a white t-shirt in the crowd.

She had bright eyes, a fair face, and a delicate figure.

Her long soft hair was tied up in a simple ponytail.

She looked exactly the same as the God Ling of his memory!

There was hardly any change! This included her height!

Yu Xi waved happily at Jian Yiling.

“Yiling! Yiling!”

Jian Yiling was currently on the phone. The person on the phone was telling Jian Yiling things to be aware of:

“Please be careful when you’re staying in Beijing. Don’t expose yourself. There’s a lot of people watching you over there. Also, if you don’t need the people I sent to pick you up, I will get them to go over to your residence and arrange everything.”

“You will be staying in Beijing for a month this time. Please be careful. It doesn’t matter if you don’t manage to achieve what we planned to do. Just be careful. You’re more valuable than anything else. Either way, you must come back in a month unscathed.”

When Jian Yiling saw Yu Xi, she ended the call for the time being.

When she saw Yu Xi, her heart stirred a little.

She had come to the capital after all.

Three years ago, Zhai Yunsheng had asked her to promise him that she wouldn’t come to Beijing. She could go anywhere else in the world.

But she had come anyway.

This was the first time that Jian Yiling had broken her promise to someone.

However, she had reasons as to why she had to come to Beijing. Even if she had to break her promise to him, she still had to come here.
