After four years of living alone after marrying far away, he went back to his parents' home and

Lan Yujuan felt her scalp tingle after hearing this.

"What?"

"You said you donated a building to my alma mater?"

Chen Mo glanced around at his surroundings out of the corner of his eye.

"Honey, don't worry."

"Let's find a quiet place to sit down first, and then you can listen to me slowly."

Then, he picked up his daughter with one arm and held Lan Yujuan's hand with the other, and walked towards the higher part of the auditorium's audience seating area.

Soon, the three of them found a spot with a wide view and relatively few people to sit down.

Lan Yujuan's head was buzzing from the news she had just heard.

Chen Mo calmly took out some specially made snacks from his pocket, and after calming his daughter down, he began to tell her the story.

"The company has a donation plan every year, but we don't have any ideas yet this year."

"A few days ago when I was playing basketball, I overheard everyone complaining that there is a lot of rain in the summer. Every time it rains, the basketball court is flooded, and we can't even have PE class. We have to study on our own instead."

Lan Yujuan listened attentively, "And then?"

Chen Mo laughed and said, "Then I heard people say that other universities have gymnasiums, so they can have physical education classes indoors when the weather is bad."

"Some schools even have swimming pools inside their gymnasiums, and swimming can be taken as an elective in university physical education classes."

"Then, I casually mentioned: if it's just about building a stadium, our company might be willing to donate one."

"I just don't know if there's any extra open space on campus to build a new gymnasium."

Upon hearing these words, Lan Yujuan's expression nearly cracked.

"Just because of a few casual remarks, you readily agreed to donate a building to the school and construct a gymnasium?"

Chen Mo glanced at her furtively, touched his nose guiltily, and whispered:

"That's not entirely true."

"The main thing is that I heard from Teacher Cheng that every summer, someone drowns in the lotus pond near the playground, and in winter, after it freezes over, students often sneak off to skate, which leads to frequent accidents."

"In order to prevent future problems, the school had long ago planned to fill in the lotus pond."

"If someone could donate a stadium, it could be built on that land. The lotus pond could also be converted into an indoor swimming pool."

"When I heard that, I thought it was a great idea! So I decided to donate."

"Anyway, it's all the same whether you donate to doing good deeds or where you donate."

"Donating to your alma mater in your name is a wonderful thing!"

"Whenever our family comes back to visit in the future, we can take a stroll around the stadium area."

"This gymnasium can not only help younger students in need, but also serve as a testament to our friendship..."

As Chen Mo spoke, he quietly took her hand, and their fingers slowly intertwined.

Lan Yujuan initially thought that Chen Mo's decision to donate a building on short notice was quite outrageous.

It seems that he simply finds the lotus pond an eyesore and annoyance, so he might as well find an excuse to fill it in.

"Don't worry, the company's accounts are still in good shape."

"I definitely won't dare touch the money I need to support my wife and daughters in the future."

Lan Yujuan blushed deeply at his teasing remark, turned around and glared at him fiercely, scolding him reproachfully:

"You can donate whatever you want, I don't care."

"Even if you donate everything in the future, it won't be a problem for me to support you and your daughters."

Chen Mo chuckled softly after hearing her words:

"Okay, then I'll just lie back and wait to live off my wife."

As the anniversary celebrations began, the previously quiet alumni group gradually became lively.

"Have you all heard? For this year's anniversary celebrations, an alumnus actually donated a gymnasium to our alma mater!"

"I've heard about it! I've heard about it!"

"That's awesome! We missed out on this opportunity. Future students will be so lucky! We spent all our physical education classes outdoors for four years of university, exposed to the wind and sun. Just thinking about it makes me uncomfortable."

Soon, the discussion in the alumni group gradually shifted from simply observing the situation to a more serious tone.

"However, I heard a different version: it wasn't donated by our alumni, but apparently by the family of a former campus beauty, who donated it in her name!"

"Wow! Which year's school beauty queen? She just donated a whole building like that, she must have hooked up with a rich guy!"

Lan Yujuan listened to her phone ringing incessantly; she had originally intended to put it on silent.

But when I opened it, I accidentally scrolled through the chat history a few times, just to see what everyone was talking about.

Unexpectedly, the gossip ended up affecting me.

"I think she's from the class of '22? I heard that the school beauty's surname is Lan, and her name is Lan something-juan. I just passed by the school leaders and heard them talking about her in hushed tones."

Lan Yujuan's hand holding the phone clenched tightly instantly.

The alumni group that Xia Donghe added her to was large and diverse, with people from all graduating classes.

The requirements for joining the group are simple: first, you must have graduated from this school; second, you must know someone in this group.

However, each alumnus joining the group does not need to verify their real name, so apart from close friends with whom they have frequent contact, very few people can recognize who is who in the group.

"Wait a minute, that school beauty you guys are talking about, she wouldn't happen to be in our group chat, would she?"

One of the more senior alumni in the group immediately tagged the group owner and three administrators.

The group admin is someone who doesn't get involved in anything, lurking in the background all day without saying a word. He only kicks out members he doesn't like.

The other three administrators include Teacher Cheng, who was extremely busy today and had no time to check the group messages.

In addition, Teacher Cheng has joined many groups, so even if she has time to glance at her phone, she probably wouldn't know which group's messages to start reading.

The other administrator is director Xia Donghe, who is currently working tirelessly on set, barely having time to sleep, and has no time to chat in the group.

Because, in the entire group, only the last remaining administrator is responsible for answering this question.

The administrator casually remarked, "Never seen him before, never heard of him, he's probably not in our group."

Upon hearing that the campus beauty who donated the building wasn't in the group chat, the alumni group members suddenly let loose completely, and their discussions became increasingly unrestrained.

"I'm an alumnus from the class of '22, could there be some mistake in the information?"

"In our year, there was indeed a school beauty whose surname was Lan; I remember her very well."

"However, I heard that right after graduation, her boyfriend lured her to the mountains."

"Since then, there has been no news, and we don't know if they are alive or dead..."
