54: Chapter 53: The Level of Shared Feelings, Clearly Not Enough_1 54: Chapter 53: The Level of Shared Feelings, Clearly Not Enough_1 At about eleven o’clock today, Lu Yinchu saw a man.

His name is Chang Linsheng, a longtime friend of Lu Yinchu’s and a graduate of H University.

Chang started in the Chinese Department but transferred to the Management Department in his sophomore year, joining the same class as Lu Yinchu.

During the first month, the two were distant, each uncommunicative with the other.

Yet, during this time, Lu Yinchu became aware of a talented person in the Chinese Department named Chang Linsheng, and Chang Linsheng knew of a genius in the Management Department named Lu Yinchu!

Why did Chang Linsheng switch his major?

The reason was simple.

There was no competition for him in the Chinese Department: he was always first, which he found unchallenging.

In his freshman year, he completed all the courses designed for juniors.

In his sophomore year, he requested a transfer on account of his impressive performance and connections, and it was permitted!

Then, he met Lu Yinchu who, to him, was a worthy opponent!

Before Chang Linsheng entered his office, he said over the phone in a teasing tone, “It’s been many years, and I finally admit that you’re much superior.

I’m weighed down by so many things, I’ve lost to you at last!”

In the room, the tall man was bathed in sunlight that spilled through the lattice of the floor-to-ceiling windows, throwing a gentle reflection on the floor behind him.

He spoke with a hint of haughtiness, “It always seems like you never triumphed over me!”

He stepped into the office as the door was opened, and a high-five dissolved the unfamiliarity between them after so many years apart.

Chang Linsheng said, “I heard about what happened to you from Shaojing.

I was very surprised!”

Lu Yinchu laughed, “What’s so surprising?

We were all shocked when you silently accepted your family’s arrangement of your marriage ten years ago!”

Helplessly shaking his head, Chang Linsheng replied, “Fine, let’s not talk about that.

Would you mind if I went to H University this afternoon?”

Lu Yinchu paused, “Do you have a reason?”

“Perhaps!”

Inhaling from his cigarette, Chang Linsheng said, “There are some people I feel I need to meet.

By the way, I’m also curious; is that not allowed?!”

Having said that, he turned his head to look at Lu Yinchu, who was already frowning.
