Chapter 719 Meeting an old friend in a foreign land

At first, he thought he had misheard, but when he looked closely, he found that the figure was standing not far away, and the image gradually overlapped with the one in his memory.

His heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and an indescribable excitement surged in his heart.

He involuntarily took a few steps forward, wanting to confirm whether he was really seeing things.

As the distance got closer, the figure became clearer and clearer, and he was finally certain that the person in front of him was his benefactor, Niu Xiaonier, whom he had always been thinking about.

However, when he got closer, he suddenly became a little uneasy.

He didn't know how to start, so he just stood there stupidly, looking at Nier. The joy and nervousness in his heart mixed together, making him feel a little overwhelmed.

After a long while, he finally mustered up the courage and stammered, "Please...Excuse me, do you still recognize me?"

Ni'er looked at the somewhat reserved man in front of her and felt that he looked familiar, but for a moment she couldn't remember where she had seen him.

She looked at his rather plain clothes and thought that this man was probably not a customer of the restaurant, and the conversation she had just heard also confirmed this.

Nier tried hard to search for memories of this person in her mind, but those memories seemed to be covered by a veil. Although they were vaguely visible, they could never be presented clearly.

Seeing that Ni'er seemed to be unable to remember, the man didn't show any displeasure on his face. Instead, he smiled and said, "Do you still remember that several years ago, you helped a scholar from Jinshan Academy named Hu Runsheng, and you even bought the enlightenment calligraphy copybook he wrote?"

Nier suddenly remembered that this was indeed the case!

She couldn't help but look at the young man in front of her carefully again. She saw that he had a faint scholarly temperament. Compared with the past, he seemed to have a bit more nobility.

Moreover, the clothes he wore were much better than they were back then.

Ni'er never expected that she would meet him unexpectedly in the capital.

Although I just heard him say that the food here is expensive, he must be no ordinary person since Prince Wang is willing to pay for it.

"I remember now, Mr. Hu. Back then, I was still young and short. I've changed a lot now, but you were able to recognize me right away. That's amazing!"

"Don't stand outside, let's go inside and talk slowly." Ni'er greeted them warmly.

When the people around heard their conversation, they all became very interested in the matter and couldn't wait to hear the story.

Seeing this, Prince Wang laughed and teased, "Tsk, tsk, tsk, meeting an old friend in a foreign land! This is one of the four great joys in life, and you really got to meet him today."

"Look, did you choose the right place? You were just trying to make excuses!"

Master Hu clasped his hands together, bowed to Master Wang, and said, "That's right. If it weren't for Master Wang's invitation today, I'm afraid I wouldn't have the chance to meet my benefactor!"

"I will definitely remember this kindness in my heart. If I have the chance in the future, I will definitely repay you double!"

However, Young Master Wang raised his hand and interrupted Young Master Hu. "Hey, how can you, at such a young age, talk like my father? I don't need you to repay me for anything. We're all friends after all!"

Nier led them to the door of a private room and introduced it, "This is the place with the best view in our restaurant. Looking out the window, the view is very wide and you can see the mountains and water in the distance!"

Upon hearing this, Prince Wang walked to the window and looked out. As Ni'er had said, the scenery was pleasant and refreshing.

He couldn't help but sigh: "Oh, I've been here so many times, but I never found such a nice box!"

"It seems that today, thanks to Mr. Hu, I am lucky enough to enjoy such a beautiful view!"

After that, Prince Wang walked back to the table, sat down on a chair, and while adjusting the hem of his clothes, he said to Prince Hu: "Okay, tell us how you and your benefactor met. We are all eager to hear the story!"

Seeing this, Ni'er quickly said, "Don't be so anxious. I'll go to the kitchen and ask them to prepare the dishes. I'll be back soon! We can talk while we eat."

"Well, go quickly and come back soon, we are all waiting for you here." Prince Wang said to Ni'er while playing with the teacup.

Prince Wang picked up the teacup, took a sip, and the fragrance of the tea spread between his lips and teeth.

He nodded slightly. "This tea uses the new tea leaves from this year. It's good."

Nier turned and left the box with brisk steps.

Not long after, Ni'er came back.

Upon seeing this, Mr. Hu began to recount the story of that year in detail.

As he spoke, Nier's memory was gradually awakened, and those once vague fragments began to emerge clearly in her mind.

Nier listened attentively, occasionally interjecting a few words and reminiscing with the other person.

Ni'er thought to herself: In fact, Mr. Hu can be regarded as Niu Li's enlightenment teacher in a sense.

Mr. Hu used vivid language and rich details to show Ni'er and others the scene at that time, making people feel as if they were there.

Everyone was deeply attracted by the story told by Mr. Hu. They listened with fascination and even put down their chopsticks unconsciously.

When Mr. Hu finished speaking the last word, everyone was still immersed in the aftermath of the story and could not come back to their senses for a long time.

Prince Wang was especially interested in this story, with an expression of wanting more.

"I never thought there was such a deep connection between you two!"

Prince Wang sighed, "It's really worth it for us to meet you here today, have dinner together, and hear such wonderful stories!"

He turned to look at Master Hu, a glint of admiration in his eyes. "Master Hu, you are truly a man of loyalty and righteousness! You took the trouble to inquire from many sources, and finally learned the name of your benefactor."

"Moreover, after so many years, my benefactor has changed a lot, yet you can still recognize him at a glance. This kind of friendship is truly rare!"

Prince Wang raised his glass and toasted Prince Hu. "It's my honor to have a friend like you! I'll drink this glass of wine!"

After saying that, he raised his head and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, then let out a satisfied sigh, "Ha~ refreshing!"

The stimulation of alcohol made Prince Wang talk more than usual.

He looked at Ni'er, a smug smile on his face, and said, "Our Mr. Hu is no longer the poor scholar he used to be! Do you want to know where he works now?"

This sentence aroused Nier's curiosity.

She looked at Mr. Hu and asked, "Where is Mr. Hu now?"
