But today nearly every student was filled with joy, cherishing this feeling.<\/p>\n<p>After the exam ended. A few students, after much hesitation, approached Cherise and asked, \u201cCherise, are you going to suddenly stop teaching us?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Someone asked first, and soon other classmates joined in, \u201cYeah, Cherise, we\u2019ve finally got a great professor. You\u2019re not just going to leave us, are you?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Cherise smiled lightly, \u201cNo way. Since I\u2019ve taken on this job, I\u2019ll personally see you all through to graduation!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As soon as she spoke, the entire Traditional Medicine Department erupted in cheers, like it was a big holiday celebration.<\/p>\n<p>Students from other departments, especially from the Architecture Department, rushed over to the Traditional Medicine Department\u2019s doors when they heard Cherise was teaching today at Betrico University.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCherise, Cherise, Duskson, Duskson, can you teach a few classes for our Architecture Department?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDuskson, Duskson, you\u2019re like a hero to everyone in the Architecture Department. We really hope you can lead our classes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The entire Traditional Medicine Department was packed during break time. Some students had no choice but to call in the school security and the principal.<\/p>\n<p>Trent, the principal, learned about the situation and asked Cherise for her opinion, \u201cCherise, what do you think? If it\u2019s too much, we can just skip it! We won\u2019t insist, just ignore them. I\u2019ll take care of it for you, your health\u2014\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Cherise interrupted him, \u201cI\u2019m fine, don\u2019t worry. Let\u2019s make it an elective. We\u2019ll offer an elective course that those interested can sign up for. Anyone who was causing a stir online recently isn\u2019t allowed to register. If I find out, they\u2019ll be suspended from school.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne class a week is no problem.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGreat! As long as you agree, I\u2019ll have my colleagues in the administration set it up for you right away!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>An hour later, the elective course \u201cThe Art of Architectural Design\u201d by Cherise was listed on the Betrico University course enrollment website. It would meet once a week, with a limit of 200 students.<\/p>\n<p>Almost all the slots filled up in less than a minute after going live. Some students either got caught in network traffic or were just too slow.<\/p>\n<p>After class, Cherise walked out of the academic building, with Hugh now almost like her personal bodyguard. Her phone rang before she even got in the car. It was Rayburn. \u201cHello, Rayburn,\u201d Cherise answered the call, politely greeting him.<\/p>\n<p>On the other end of the line, Rayburn said, \u201cHey, Cherise, do you have some time today? I\u2019m heading back to Hamolica tomorrow and thought we could grab a meal and play some chess.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Cherise had planned to have dinner with Morris at Chivers Group after class, but upon hearing, Rayburn was leaving for Hamolica the next day, she sweetly replied, \u201cSure\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Rayburn seemed quite happy to hear that Cherise was free. \u201cGreat, then let\u2019s meet at that Gourmet Bistro. See you there!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Chapter 205<\/p>\n<p>\u0909<\/p>\n<p>89%<\/p>\n<p>After hanging up, Cherise texted Morris to let him know she was heading to Gourmet Bistro.<\/p>\n<p>An hour later, at the Gourmet Bistro, in the same private room as before, when Cherise walked in, Rayburn had already set up the chessboard.<\/p>\n<p>Smiling, he said, \u201cCherise, I\u2019ve just set up the board. How about a game before we eat?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Cherise nodded with a smile.<\/p>\n<p>In less than fifteen minutes, Rayburn laughed heartily, \u201cHaha, Cherise, I\u2019m still no match for you. I\u2019m about to leave Betrico and you won\u2019t even let me win once!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWinning is delightful, but losing has its charm too,\u201d Cherise said with a smile.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYes, that\u2019s true! Life is like that,\u201d Rayburn said, looking a bit wistful.<\/p>\n<p>Noticing Rayburn didn\u2019t seem genuinely happy today, Cherise paused. \u201cRayburn, why are you going back to Hamolica so soon? It won\u2019t be easy to meet you next time. How about another game?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Rayburn chuckled softly, \u201cWell, yes, some things are done, so I have to go back. In the future, if you ever come to Hamolica, you absolutely have to visit me! Come on, let\u2019s play another round. I\u2019m old. Perhaps I won\u2019t get another chance.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Soon, their time together, which was short, had passed, and it was time to say goodbye again.<\/p>\n<p>After Cherise and Rayburn said goodbye, Cherise got into the car. Hugh was driving, and she was sitting in the back seat. Rayburn hadn\u2019t gotten into the car yet and stood waving at her.<\/p>\n<p>As the car slowly started, she turned to watch the figure gradually disappear into the distance. For some reason, at that moment, she felt that Rayburn suddenly seemed more aged, and an unexplainable feeling welled up in her heart.<\/p>\n<p>Morris was still working late at Chivers Group, waiting for her. Hugh brought her here, and as soon as they got out of the car, Xenia called.<\/p>\n<p>Cherise answered, \u201cHey, Xenia!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHey, Cherise, I sent you a photo. Jason says it\u2019s his grandma. I\u2019m not sure why, but she really looks a lot like you.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe\u2019s not as pretty as you when you look closely, but there\u2019s definitely a resemblance. I sent it to you on WhatsApp, check it out when you have a moment. It\u2019s incredible!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-290","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/290","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=290"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
