Chapter 33 Memories under the Big Tree

- - - - - - - - - -

After the funeral, Jiang Jing wanted to go to the rest room with Fu Jinrong, Jiang Jingrun Jiang Zhongheng and her mother, and then leave from the funeral. What she didn't expect was that Han Cheng stopped her after the funeral.

"Ru, can I talk to you?" Han Cheng was polite, generous and courteous. He didn't look like a prodigal at all. Therefore, except for Fu Jinrong, everyone looked at Jiang Jing and signaled that she could go.

Jiang Jingrun even knew that Han Cheng was the only son of the city's Han family, so he said to Jiang Jing, "Ru, you should go. Young master Han should have something to do with you."

"Go ahead. I'll take good care of mom. We'll wait for you in the lounge." Fu Jinrong stroked mother of Jiang and said to Jiang Jing.

Fu Jinrong knew that Han Cheng was Jiang Jing's ex-boyfriend, but he never took such a weak, scholarly man as a threat.

In his opinion, since Jiang Jing chose to give up such a man, Jiang Jing would never agree to get back together whatever Han Cheng said. Therefore, he was not worried about what Han cheng would say to Jiang Jing.

Moreover, the man named Han Cheng did not seem to know that the so-called "Jiang Ru" was the same person as "Jiang Jing".

Everyone thought that Jiang Jing should have a good talk with Han Cheng. So Jiang Jing had no reason to refuse.

"Okay, you wait for me outside the auditorium. I'll go over as soon as my mother is settled." Jiang Jing secretly pressed her palm and tried to calm herself down.

How could she be so calm in front of someone she once loved?

After Jiang Jing sent her mother to the lounge, she said, "Mom, I'll go over for a while. I'll take you back later. Wait a moment."

Mother of Jiang nodded, "Well, go ahead. I'm fine. You can rest assured as Fu will take care of me."

"Please, I'll be right back." Jiang Jing followed her mother's gaze and looked at Fu Jinrong, who was standing beside her. Fu Jinrong had not said a word since Han Cheng appeared.

Fu Jinrong nodded and his thin lips parted slightly, "Well, don't worry."

Jiang Jing felt relieved when she heard Fu Jinrong's reply. Although she only went out of the auditorium for a short time, she didn't want to see her beloved mother get hurt again.

Therefore, she had to make sure that her mother was safe. Even if she only went for a little while, she had to make sure that there was someone who could take care of her mother carefully. Jiang Jing believed that only Fu Jinrong could do that.

Although Jiang Jing didn't understand why she believed Fu Jinrong would do it.

After leaving the auditorium, Jiang Jing saw Han Cheng under the big tree at the entrance of the auditorium. After so long, Han Cheng didn't seem to have changed at all. But it seemed that everything had changed.

Han Cheng's appearance did not change at all. Time seemed to have given him special treatment. Not only did he look like he was still in his prime, but he also had a graceful demeanor, which added to his charm as a mature man.

Han Cheng had changed inside out. Jiang Jing deeply understood what kind of person Han Cheng used to be. Now he was standing under a big tree with his hands in his pants pockets, looking straight ahead, fearless. That demeanor was not what Han Cheng used to have.

It was almost noon when the memorial service ended. And the sun was so strong that the particles of the sun in the air were scattered by the rays and projected onto the ground.

The memories in Jiang Jing's mind seemed to be reflected in front of her as Han Cheng waited for her under the big tree...

Han Cheng and Jiang Jing met at the university. Back then, Jiang Jing, like all the freshmen in the university, was full of enthusiasm, looking forward to campus life.

At the opening ceremony for freshmen, there were full of leaders' speeches. Han Cheng, who spoke as the representative of a junior from the finance department, swiftly caught the attention of thousands of girl students under the stage.

"Wow, who is this senior? He's so handsome!"

"Look at his figure. He's really fine."

"Yeah, yeah. His legs are so long."

"Ah, he looks really good when he smiles."

...

At that time, Han Cheng was a shining star in the eyes of everyone. He was handsome, tall, and the only male in the generation of the rich Han family."

Jiang Jing, who saw Han Cheng for the first time, admitted that the senior was excellent. But that's all. At that time, Jiang Jing didn't show special feelings for Han Cheng. In Jiang Jing's opinion, she was just an ordinary student who wanted to study hard and find a good job after graduation. She knew from her mother's marriage that she didn't have to marry such a good man.

Her father was indeed outstanding. But in the end, he abandoned her and her mother.

But what she didn't expect was that an encounter on the basketball court made Han Cheng get deeply obsessed with her.

It was the first time Jiang Jing had taken a physical education class in college after she had just finished her military training. The whole class was brought to the basketball court by the physical education teacher, who said it was a basketball class. Jiang Jing was also very interested in it and joined it with great interest.

Unfortunately, Jiang Jing's physical education teacher was a female, who was only familiar with the skills of basketball verbally. The teacher was not good at the real pedal layup or other movements.

After the PE teacher failed to shoot many times, she decided to give up. She was going to ask if any of her classmates had a good basketball player to come up and demonstrate for her. And when she looked around, she found Han Cheng playing basketball on the basketball court nearby.

"You go and call the boy who is playing basketball next to you. He is your senior. Ask him to come and show you."

The PE teacher pointed at a girl who was standing on the far right side of the team and who was near the basketball court. That girl was Jiang Jing.

"Me?" Jiang Jing pointed at herself in surprise.

The PE teacher nodded, "Yes, it's you. Hurry up."

At first, everyone except the PE teacher didn't realize that the boy was Han Cheng. From afar, the boy's strong posture and shooting skills made a lot of girls wonder what the boy looked like and whether his appearance could match his body shape.

So Jiang Jing went to the basketball court next door in the expectant eyes of all the girls, ready to bring the boy that the PE teacher had just mentioned to their class.

"Well, senior, I'm sorry to bother you." It was afternoon when most students were taking classes. Jiang Jing walked to the basketball court and found that there were only three or four people playing in the basketball court. Everyone was very focused on playing. It was not until Jiang Jing came close to make a sound that someone realized that a girl had walked up to them.

Moreover, the girl was beautiful and slim. Her temperament was good.

The boy who was preparing to dunk saw such a pretty girl standing before him. He immediately put down the basketball in his hand and said to Jiang Jing, "What's wrong, junior? What can I do for you?"

As soon as he said this, a boy behind him gave him a push, "Hey, old white, why are you so shameless? How can you be sure that the girl is looking for you?"

The boy called old white raised his eyebrows when he heard this, "Why not? She told me to wait. It must be me." After that, he gave Jiang Jing a big smile and asked kindly, "What's wrong, junior? What's the matter?"

Jiang Jing awkwardly pointed her finger at Han Cheng, who was standing calmly on the side, "Excuse me, I'm looking for senior Han Cheng."

When the "old white" heard this, he looked highly disappointed. At the same time, the boy who just laughed at old white almost couldn't straighten his back.

"Han Cheng, somone wants to confess to you again." He said to Han Cheng with a smile.

Han Cheng heard his name and slowly walked over. He said to Jiang Jing, "What do you want from me?"

"Our PE teacher asked me to invite you to the basketball court next door to demonstrate basketball skills for us." Jiang Jing ignored others and explained to Han Cheng why she had come to invite him.

Han Cheng followed Jiang Jing's finger and saw his previous PE teacher leading a group of freshmen in the next room.

He nodded, "Okay, I'll go now."

"Yes, please, senior." Jiang Jing said politely. At the same time, her feelings for Han Cheng rose sharply. Han Cheng was not as picky as other excellent students did. He was confident but modest.

Jiang Jing led Han Cheng to the basketball court. As soon as the PE teacher saw Han Cheng, she pulled him over. "Everyone, this is your senior Han Cheng. I believe you've probably heard of him. But what you don't know is that senior Han Cheng is also very good at sports."

As soon as the PE teacher said this, the girls under the stage began to chatter.

"Wow, it's Han Cheng. I didn't expect that boy to be Han Cheng."

"Yeah, I didn't expect Han Cheng to play basketball so well."

"How do you know he plays basketball well?"

"Hey, we're in basketball class. If he doesn't play well, why does the PE teacher call him here?"

Sure enough, the PE teacher continued, "Han Cheng used to be the main player of our school's basketball team. He took our school team to the provincial games in his sophomore year and won the championship. But now he's retired from the school team because of his studies."
