NOVPUBChapter 1156: 525_1 Chapter 1156: 525_1 Aubree Groove left the tea shop, but did not see Kelly Martinez.
She called her, but no one answered.
Aubree Groove glanced at the road sign opposite her and thought of leaving.
Coming out of a clothing store, she was dressed like an ordinary young girl.
She did not attract too much attention when she walked amongst the crowd, except for her tall and slender figure that no ordinary clothing could hide.
Benefit University has four gates: east, west, south, and north.
The East Gate is the main gate, and students going in and out are strictly checked.
...
The South Gate is connected to the residential quarters, separated from the University’s sports ground by a wall, with a iron gate in between.
Some teachers, for convenience’s sake, would use this iron gate.
The lock on the gate was usually left unlocked.
The houses in the residential quarters were a bit old, showing signs of age.
The buildings were low, and the brick-red exterior walls carried a historical atmosphere.
An old granny with a basket of vegetables was there.
The threshold of the residential area was quite high.
The old granny tried to lift her right leg over the threshold, but her body swayed, seeming about to fall on the ground.
Suddenly, a pair of hands reached out to support her.
After steadying herself, the old granny turned to look, “Young lady, thank you.”
“Let me help you.” said the girl with a face mask and a hat covering her eyes, giving the old granny a clear and bright feeling just from hearing her voice.
Without thinking, the old granny took a second look, “Young lady, are you a student at Benefit University?”
“Do I look like one?”
The old granny laughed,” Such intelligence and talent, only top-tier universities like this can accommodate you.”
“You flatter me, Granny.
Which building do you live in?
I’ll take you there.”
The old granny pointed ahead, “I’m almost there…Young lady, which department are you in?”
Aubree Groove smiled, “I am not a student at this university.
I’m sorry to disappoint you.”
“It’s just a matter of time.
This old lady’s judgment won’t be wrong.”
The old granny patted her hand, “Are you interested in literature?”
“Granny, what are you trying to say?”
“If you’re interested, come and find me in the College of Literature, my surname is Giada.”
Aubree Groove was surprised, “Are you Professor Giada?”
The old granny asked with a smile, “You know me?”
“You and Master Aria have been hailed as the twin pearls of the literary world, and Limerence Literature Award has nurtured many writers.
It’s my honor to meet Professor Giada today.”
“Hahaha, I am just an old lady.
It’s meaningless to go on about the past.
Young lady, remember our agreement.”
Aubree Groove smiled, this old lady is very interesting.
“I’m home.
If you’re not busy, come in for a cup of tea.”
Professor Giada lived on the first floor with a small courtyard.
The yard had many planted flowers and vegetables, all well-kept and clean, reflecting the master as one who loved life.
Aubree Groove walked into the yard.
Professor Giada put down her vegetable basket, grabbed a teapot and said, “We don’t have good tea to entertain you at home, but it will have to do.”
Aubree Groove squatted in a corner to look at the young plants, which have just managed to break through the soil.
“These are balloon flowers.”
Professor Giada laughed, “You know quite a lot.”
“The balloon flower sprouts are hearty in winter.
After soaking in the winter rain and snow, I am sure that they will grow even more robust in the future.”
Half the plants in the yard were medicinal herbs, growing very nicely.
The old granny seemed to have a knack for keeping plants. 𝑛𝘰𝑣𝑝𝑢𝑏.𝘤𝑜𝘮
“Balloon flowers can be admired, its roots can be used as medicine, its stem can be brewed into tea, and it can also be pickled as a side dish.
As an old woman, I’m lazy, so I like to grow things that provide many benefits.”
“When the spring warmth comes, we can welcome the blossoming of the flowers.
But for now, when it’s still chilly outside, you need to take care of yourself, professor.”
“One can’t fight aging.”
Out of nowhere, someone shouted “Someone wants to jump off a building!”
Aubree Groove abruptly looked up and found a person standing at the top of the building.
Professor Giada gasped, “Isn’t that Kendry?
What is she doing standing so high?” As she spoke, she held her chest, her complexion slightly altered.
Aubree Groove gently rubbed her back, and Professor Giada suddenly felt much better.
When she thought about saying thank you, the young lady had already disappeared.
Professor Giada hurriedly made a phone call to notify Kendry’s family.
“Kendry, come down, don’t do anything foolish.
Didn’t you just get scolded by a student?
The students now are all stubborn, all of us have been scolded, you mustn’t take things too hard.” An middle-aged woman was trying to talk her down urgently.
The woman stood on the edge of the roof.
From the sixth floor, she had a far-reaching view of the sports ground and teaching buildings of Benefit University.
There were people playing basketball on the court, their heads moving back and forth.
The woman’s hair was loose and fluttering, her expression dazed, “I…
I deserve to die…
what’s the point of me living…?”
