Chapter 183 Returning Home

Professor Zhao suddenly found himself in a different environment. He was feeling dazed when he suddenly saw the old man. He was so excited that he didn't know what to do.

The old man extended his hand and shook his. "On behalf of the motherland, I welcome you home."

Professor Zhao grabbed his hand and couldn't help but burst into tears.

He hadn't returned to his country for nearly twenty years, and he had never expected that his motherland would attach so much importance to him. Not only did they send people to rescue him, but the old man also met him in person.

The old man took Professor Zhao to sit down and asked him about his research. Then he smiled and said, "How about this? If you're willing to retire, I'll find you a nice place with beautiful scenery. If you'd like to continue working, you can go to a research institute, teach at a university, or go wherever you want."

"You can choose any place."

Professor Zhao thought for a moment and said, "I still want to teach in a school. I'm used to the school environment, and I also want to cultivate a group of talents for the country."

The old man was very happy. "Very good, this is the inheritance. In China, only Qingdao University and Beijing University are better. It depends on which university you choose."

Professor Zhao hesitated for a moment, then suddenly looked at Lin Xi. "I heard from Xiao Zhou that you are a student at Peking University?"

Lin Xi smiled and nodded.

Professor Zhao waved his hand and said, "Then let's go to Peking University. I like this girl Lin Xi very much. I can see her often if I go to Peking University."

The old man smiled and said, "Okay, nuclear physics is also a top-notch major at Peking University. With your joining, it will definitely be even more powerful."

The old man continued, "I have already informed our embassy through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. I will apply to have some of your personal belongings returned to you in your nephew's name."

Professor Zhao was excited again. "You, you are so busy, but you still care about me. I am so grateful to you."

He was a little embarrassed. "In that case, remember to ask them to bring back my photo album."

A secretary not far away quickly wrote down Professor Zhao's request.

The old man smiled gently, "Well, photo album, anything else important?"

Professor Zhao shook his head, "No more."

The rest of the things are just external things to him.

The old man added: "For the time being, for your safety, you will be assigned a guard."

"By the way, isn't Lin Xi also at Beijing University? If you really encounter any danger that you can't handle, you can ask Lin Xi for help nearby."

Lin Xi nodded vigorously beside him.

Professor Zhao shook his head and said, "I don't think it's necessary."

"I've heard from outside that the security in China is very good. Now many people say our country is the safest country in the world. I think I don't need to have guards."

The old man smiled and said, "We still need it. Even though it's on our soil, there are still many foreign spies and agents. We catch one batch after another."

"I'm mainly worried about retaliation from Country M. Our country can't afford to lose a talent like you."

Professor Zhao had no choice but to agree.

After chatting for a few more words, the old man asked the guards to escort the three people out.

Professor Zhao's wife is gone and he has no children. He only has a younger brother in Beijing.

The car took Professor Zhao to his brother's house.

His younger brother had received the notice long ago and was standing at the gate of the community with his whole family, looking out.

The moment he saw Professor Zhao get off the car, the younger brother couldn't help but rush up and hug Professor Zhao. The two brothers hadn't seen each other for twenty years, and they hugged each other and burst into tears.

The two brothers cried for a long time before they went in together, with Professor Zhao's guards following closely behind.

Lin Xi found a place to release Zhou Ying, and then they all went home.

Lin Fenfang hadn't seen Lin Xi for a month. She pulled her aside and looked at her for a long time. "You've lost weight. I told your sister that you would definitely lose weight, but your sister didn't believe me."

"Being a fugitive is good, though. Living in the open air, it's no wonder you're thin."

After seeing her face, Lin Fenfang was very dissatisfied with Lin Xi's hair. "Hey, we Hua people are born with black hair, which means black hair suits us. Why did you dye it like this? Go dye it back quickly and don't make it look like a fake foreign devil."

Lin Xi hugged her with a smile, "You are right. Mother, can you please let me take a bath first?"

Lin Fenfang chuckled, "Go away, go away, who forbids you to go?"

When Lin Xi came out of the shower and hadn't blow-dried her hair yet, Lin Fenfang came over with a disposable cup, "Come on, let me dye your hair. I bought some for dyeing gray hair, and it just so happens that I haven't used it yet."

Lin Yuan followed her mother and winked at her.

Lin Xi's hair was messed up again by her mother and sister.

My hair was damaged repeatedly, and after it was blow-dried, the hair quality was terrible.

Lin Xi had just returned to her room when Aunt Zhou slipped in, closed the door, and lowered her voice, "Lin Xi, a while ago, there were rumors online about you and an older man. It was really unflattering. I was afraid your mother would see it, so I distracted her whenever she wanted to check her phone for the past two days."

"But it's strange. Two days later, when I checked again, the news was gone. I couldn't even find it."

Lin Xi knew that someone must have asked the website to block the news, but she didn't know who it was.

There are currently two candidates, Director Wang and Song Huaijin.

She smiled and said, "Aunt Zhou, that's not true. You did a great job. Please don't let my mother see those rumors online in the future. She's not in good health and it would be a big worry for her."

She took out a bag and handed it to Aunt Zhou, "This is a gift for you."

Aunt Zhou was delighted. "Oh, I have a gift! This bag is a famous brand. It must be expensive."

When Lin Xi was shopping, it happened to be Black Friday, and many products were discounted. She saw that the bags were not expensive, only a few thousand yuan, so she bought several of different types as gifts for everyone.

Then he gave one to Lin Fenfang and Lin Yuan respectively.

It was Sunday, and after dinner, Lin Xi planned to go to school.

She had just opened the door and closed it when the door next door suddenly opened.

Qi Mo had previously gone downstairs and met Aunt Zhou who was taking out the trash. After chatting for a while, he learned that Lin Xi had returned.

He knew that Lin Xi would go to school on Sunday evening. He estimated the time and waited at his door for a long time, waiting to hear the door closing next door.

As soon as the door closed, Qi Mo came out. His eyes scanned Lin Xi's eyebrows carefully. He hadn't seen her for more than a month, and his longing for her was growing like weeds.

Her smile is as beautiful and clear as ever.

Qi Mo felt his own violent heartbeat and tried to calmly say, "What a coincidence! Are you going to school?"

Lin Xi smiled, "Yeah, what a coincidence."

Qi Mo walked towards Lin Xi, lowered his head slightly and stared at her, "I just happened to be going out, I'll take you to school on the way."

Lin Xi smiled and nodded, "Okay."

The two entered the elevator together, and Qi Mo said softly, "It's been another month of filming, you must be exhausted."
