Myrna took the paper bag and they went to B University together .
As they walked around and talked, Myrna discovered that Clyde was indeed quite knowledgeable and could always keep up with the conversation no matter what topic she brought up.
His tone of voice is neither hurried nor slow, and his attitude is gentle and elegant. It makes people feel very comfortable to get along with him.
After walking around for a while, when passing by a stone wall, Myrna turned her head inadvertently and saw a familiar figure.
Dempsey had just finished class and was about to go to the lab. He looked up suddenly and met Myrna’s smiling eyes.
Clyde standing beside her .
“What a coincidence, did get out of class just end?”
Myrna spoke first.
Dempsey nodded. “I’m heading to the lab. What about you?”
“I’m bringing my friend to visit the school. Let me introduce you. This is Clyde .” Then she turned to Clyde and said , “This is Dempsey .”
Their eyes met, Clyde curled his lips imperceptibly and extended his hand: ” Professor Dempsey , I have heard of your name for a long time.”
Dempsey shook hands back: “Nice to meet you.”
The Gus Family and the Shen Family are both famous families in Beijing. They are in the same circle and have heard of each other more or less, but this is the first time they have met.
Myrna was completely unaware of the subtle tension between the two men, and just wondered if the two men’s handshake took a little too long.
Dempsey looked at him again and let go of his hand first: “I’m going to the lab first.”
Myrna watched him leave. Clyde looked at Myrna thoughtfully : “Are you familiar with him?”
Myrna didn’t want to say more, just responded: “Not bad.”
Clyde didn’t ask any more questions.
That evening, Myrna received another message from Clyde .
?? Thank you for accompanying me around the campus today??
Myrna replied: [It?? s just a small favor, you?? re welcome]
She turned off her phone, threw it on the bedside, and lay down.
The soft pillow had just been dried yesterday. A faint scent of soap lingered in my nose, warm and comfortable.
Before she knew it, she fell asleep.
Without having to review so frequently, Myrna slept in for a rare time and got up at eight o’clock to change clothes and go out.
The neighborhood is old, but it has a lively atmosphere. As soon as she went downstairs, aunties carrying baskets to buy vegetables and aunties walking their dogs greeted her with a smile.
Myrna responded with a smile.
She walked out of the alley and went to the old street next door. There was a breakfast shop on the corner. The milk was not sweet or greasy, and the potato pancakes were crispy.
As soon as she entered, she saw Dempsey sitting with his back to her. She curled the corners of her lips, came behind him, patted his back playfully, and then sat down opposite him very quickly.
Seeing that his expression didn’t change, Myrna wondered, “Why aren’t you surprised at all?”
” Ms. Wagner , this is the second time.” Dempsey put the sandwich into his mouth. “Last week, you did the same thing, and what’s more, you didn’t move much faster than this .”
Myrna glanced at the big yellow dog tied at the door: “…”
She was still trying to argue, but the grandmother making wontons came over and asked with a smile: “Is it the same as before today?”
Myrna nodded. ” One pancake and one oatmeal with nuts .”
Although the old lady was old, she was very skillful and brought the food over in no time, and also gave her some of her favorite side dishes.
Myrna saw it, she smiled and said, “Thank you, grandma.”[Breakfast and eating habits of foreigners]
The old lady smiled until her eyes narrowed into slits: “Eat it quickly, it won’t taste good if it gets cold.”
She glanced at Dempsey . Every time, he only had soy milk sandwiches , which looked quite monotonous. “Next time, do you want to try a different flavor?”
Without waiting for him to speak, Myrna looked at the table, found a clean dish, picked up a piece of scone with clean chopsticks , and pushed it in front of him: “Try it?”
Dempsey hesitated for a moment, picked one up and put it in his mouth, chewing it slowly.
Myrna blinked: “How is it?”
Seeing her eager look, Dempsey nodded: “It tastes good.”
Myrna smiled and said, “Yeah, how could the food I recommended not be delicious?”
Dempsey laughed too.

Gavin : ” Clyde , your birthday is coming soon, right? What are you planning to do this year? A car race or a transvestite show? Or maybe we should go big and have strippers all over the place? Hahaha…”
Blithe immediately agreed: “That’s a good suggestion.”
Clyde with questioning eyes at the same time .
When it comes to “playing”, he has the most variety among the three.
Some people may look respectable in a suit and tie, but they are actually crazier than anyone else.
“Let’s just… have a simple birthday party this year .”
Gavin : ???????
Blithe : ???????
Clyde : “What? Any problem?”
“No… this is not like you, Clyde .” Gavin looked him up and down, left and right, “Did you take the wrong medicine today?”
Blithe couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow: “Did you hear that correctly? Birthday party ? Did you learn this from my old man?”
“Could it be…” Gavin rolled his eyes, “Is it that kind?”
Blithe sat up straight instantly, his eyes shining.
Clyde : “What are you thinking about? The normal kind. It’s a private estate on Jincheng Road . I’ll send you an invitation in a few days.”
After saying that, he stood up and left.
Gavin and Blithe looked at each other and looked out the window together????
The sun didn?? t rise from the west today?
??
Myrna was a little surprised when she received Clyde ‘s call, and she was even more surprised when she heard that he invited her to his birthday party.
“Please me?”
“right.”
Myrna frowned.
Ansel would most likely be at Clyde ‘s birthday party, but she didn’t really want to meet him.
“No outsiders were invited, just a gathering among friends. Gavin is also here, don’t you plan to come?” Clyde noticed her hesitation and raised his eyebrows, “Or are you afraid of something?”
Myrna held the phone and said nothing.
“You and Ansel have broken up, and he seems to be in a good relationship with his girlfriend now. You don’t dare to come, is it because you can’t let go?”
Myrna frowned slightly: “Of course not. We have already made it clear and cut off all ties.”
Clyde curled his lips: “In this case, there is nothing to be shy about. I’ll send you the address, remember to come.”
After saying that, he hung up without waiting for Myrna to speak again.

On the day of the birthday party, the manor was specially decorated and was very lively.
Ansel arrived late with Susie .
After taking off his coat, Susie helped him hand it to the waiter, took his hand, and walked into the main entrance with him.
This road is extremely valuable and was sold out as soon as it was put on the market. Clyde was able to acquire this private estate of over 1, 000 square meters because his family reserved it for him.
The layout and furnishings of the manor were designed by famous artists at great expense, and an old gentleman was invited to arrange the feng shui.
After passing through the rockery and the backyard, we arrived at the place where guests were entertained.
As soon as he entered the door, Ansel greeted Clyde first .
“For you, happy birthday.”
He threw over a key, which was the yacht that Clyde had mentioned before. He liked going out to the sea, so Ansel bought him a yacht to suit his taste.
Clyde : ?? Thanks.??
Ansel smiled and wanted to say something else, but when he turned his eyes, he suddenly saw a familiar figure.
