Chapter 433 A Young Female Student
On the way back, James was actually quite excited. After all, he had been away from the City of Mysteries for five years and seven months,in equal to the sum of2,037 days.
During these five and a half years, he lived a completely different life from before, a period that was entirely contrary to his nature, almost breaking his spirit. He had thought about giving up countless times; the repeated humiliations and distortions were extremely painful for him.
Were it not for his resilient character and indomitable spirit, he certainly wouldn't have been able to endure.
Alistair's idea was correct; this method was the most effective way to change his character, smooth out his rough edges, and settle him into a calm and reserved person.
But the cost was immerse.
As it transpired, Alistair's plan had a subtle flaw. The strategy not only polished James's rough edges but also extinguished his ambition to inherit and expand the family legacy.
Was it worth it?
James didn't know. Only Alistair could answer that question.
This time, James returned home in very low profile, still wearing plain clothes. In this appearance, he looked like nobody, and no one would have guessed that he was the heir to the prestigious Smith Family of the City of Mysteries.
James took the train home, sitting by the window, resting his chin on his hand, watching the scenery flash by outside, and falling into deep thought.
Scenes from his childhood to adulthood in the Smith Family and the City of Mysteries flashed through his mind like a movie.
People said that James really had something special.
Logically, this time going back, having completed his mission, he should be excited to regain his identity as a member of the Smith Family. But he didn't feel that way.
Instead, he felt more guilt towards Alistair. If Alistair knew his choice, he would probably be angry and very disappointed, right?
As he was deep in thought, an enchanting fragrance suddenly wafted from beside him. It appeared that a woman had taken the seat next to him. Then, a surprised voice broke the silence, "Mr. Smith! What a remarkable coincidence!"
James was taken aback and turned to see a youthful face, very pretty, exuding a pure and innocent aura. She was wearing a light yellow dress with two books, clearly a college student.
"Who are you?" James asked with puzzlement.
The young woman suppressed her excitement and said, "I'm a second-year medical student. My name is Brandy Dove. Mr. Smith, I was in the lecture hall when you gave a lecture last time. It's so great to meet you here. After listening to your lecture, I learned a lot. Mr. Smith, your level is so high, it's unbelievable to convince you're so young. And I later found out that you were the genius Mr. Smith who single-handedly defeated many foreign doctors at the medical exchange conference. I admire you so much; you're my idol. Can I take a photo with you?"
Brandy was very excited, saying a lot in one breath, as flushed as her face. She was both nervous and shy, looking like she had met a celebrity, which made the surrounding passengers curious. When they saw James's unremarkable appearance and plain clothes, they found it very strange.
James was a bit stunned. What a coincidence to meet a medical student here?
"Hello." James nodded with a smile.
This girl named Brandy was gorgeous, both in figure and appearance. Especially her youthful aura and scholarly temperament had a unique attraction.
James also noticed that Brandy probably came from an ordinary family, with a simple and kind nature.
"Can I take a photo with you?" Brandy asked nervously.
"Sure," James said with a smile.
"Great!" She couldn't help but make a victory gesture, then took out her phone and moved closer to James to take a photo together.
James observed that her phone was rather outdated, a model from two or three years prior, and it exhibited some lag when she attempted to open the camera app.
This was a simple and unadorned girl.
James posed and looked at the camera, but the next moment, something awkward happened. Brandy's phone froze and then shut down.
"Huh? Why has my phone crashed again?" Brandy's face turned red with embarrassment. "Mr. Smith, I'm sorry, my phone crashed. Can you wait a moment while I restart it?"
"Okay," James said with a smile. It was his first time meeting a fan, and it was quite interesting that she was a knowledgeable young woman.
Brandy's phone was not only old but also quite battered, with many dents and scratches. It was the first time James had seen such a beautiful girl using such an old phone.
This was not an easy thing. With her beauty, she must have many admirers and would receive many expensive gifts, including countless phones. But she hadn't accepted any and was still using her old phone, which showed she wasn't a frivolous person. This was rare in today's society.
It made James like her even more.
Brandy fiddled with her phone for a while, finally restarting it. She excitedly opened the camera app, and just as they posed again, her phone froze again.
"How about we use my phone?" James said, a bit helpless.
Immediately, Brandy blushed with embarrassment and shyness. She looked very ashamed.
James smiled slightly, not teasing her, and took out his phone, opened the camera app, and started taking pictures, snapping several in a row.
Soon, he realized a problem. The phone was his; how would he send the photos to Brandy? He would have to add Brandy on Facebook.
So James said, "Do you have Facebook? I'll send the photos to you."
Brandy's eyes lit up, very excited, "Mr. Smith, really?"
"Yeah, why not?" James chuckled.
"Great, I'll restart my phone. Just a moment, it won't take long." Brandy hurriedly restarted her phone.
However, her phone was exceedingly sluggish. It took over a minute to boot up and launch Facebook. After she eventually added James on Facebook, her phone froze once more as James attempted to send the pictures.
James asked, "Why don't you get a new phone?"
Brandy looked a bit embarrassed, then smiled and shook her head, "My phone still works, no need to buy a new one."
Her sunny smile instantly infected James, lifting his spirits.
Next, Brandy asked James many medical questions, and James answered them all, explaining each point clearly, making Brandy look at him with even more admiration.
