Ye Dazhuang woke up well after surgery. Xiao Hua stayed with him in the hospital for a while. The college entrance examination results were coming out soon, and he needed to go back to Tongguan city to fill out his college application. In this day and age, applications are filled out before scores are released, and it's easy to fail if you don't do it right.

Fortunately, she could answer every question on the exam paper, but she didn't want to be the top science student and attract attention.

So, she deliberately didn't answer some questions, keeping her score within a certain range so that she could get into one of the two schools listed in Shanghai.

After comparing the majors at the two schools, Xiaohua ultimately chose not the university she attended in her previous life, but instead chose Maritime University and applied for a major in Electronic Information Engineering. In her previous life, she studied Computer Science at Fudan University at Maritime University, and in this life, she wanted to study a different major at a different school.

Her dream job is still in the chip industry, but it's too early to develop chips now, mainly because she lacks the money, experience, and ability.

Starting a business isn't just about having passion!

You also need money, experience, ability, and most importantly, a strong sense of conviction.

Xiao Hua returned to Tongguan City to fill out her college application. She didn't plan to bring her child with her, so she left the child with He Yan.

She gave He Yan a few instructions on how to take good care of Kang An, and then rushed to the train station.

When He Yan heard that she was going back to Tongguan to fill out her college application, he insisted that she bring her child and go with her, not wanting to miss any time he could spend with her.

However, Xiaohua firmly refused. She said that going and returning quickly wouldn't take too much time, and having the child running around with her would not only be uncomfortable on the road but would also cause delays. Her father was undergoing chemotherapy, and she was worried about leaving her illiterate elderly rural woman with only her by her side.

Furthermore, with her gone, her parents can only rely on He Yan for the time being, and with He Yan here, her parents feel like they have a pillar of support.

Although her trip to Tongguan City will only take one or two days at most, what if her parents need someone during that time?

After hearing what she said, He Yan didn't want to insist on going with her, otherwise he would seem like he was a person who didn't know how to behave.

Xiao Hua kept her word. She took the train to Tongguan early in the morning and arrived in Beicheng at three o'clock the next morning.

He Yan drove his cousin's car to pick her up. When she returned, she called Kang An at the train station because she was worried that Kang An would not sleep well and would keep crying while she was away. She wanted to tell her that her mother would be back that night and that she should go to sleep quietly by herself.

Therefore, He Yan knew that her train would arrive in Beicheng at 3:00 a.m., so he drove to the train station early to wait for her.

Xiaohua got into the car: "You're picking me up at the train station. Where's the child? Is my mom at the hospital with him?"

Kang An has never lived with her maternal grandmother. Xiao Hua doesn't know if her maternal grandmother can take care of her.

Grandma is currently taking care of Grandpa who is sick, so He Yan quickly explained, "The child isn't in the hospital. My cousin came and picked him up. I'll go and bring him back first thing tomorrow morning. My cousin has a girl who is a year older than him, so the two children can play together. So you don't have to worry. When I took him there, he didn't cry at all. He happily held my cousin's daughter's hand and left."

After He Yan finished speaking, he saw Xiao Hua looking out the shoe window, deep in thought, and he wondered what she was thinking.

So, making conversation, he asked, "Which school and major did you choose when you filled out your college application? Do you think you can get in? Be careful not to fail the exam!"

"He Yan, if you don't know how to speak, you can choose to shut up and stop making conversation."

There's no such thing as someone cursing others for failing before the scores are even out.

“I’m not saying you’ll fail the exam, I’m just worried about you. If you don’t get a high score and you’ve applied to such a good school, it’s easier for you to fail.”

Xiaohua replied with a forced smile, "Oh, you're actually a pretty nice person, reminding me of something?"

He Yan chuckled like a landlord's silly son: "I heard that the exam papers in Tongguan City this year were quite difficult, especially the math ones. There were very few basic questions. If you don't do well in math, it's easy to drag down your score. I'm afraid your total score won't be that high. Actually, it would be good for a girl to apply to a teacher's college. In the future, she can go to our army and become a teacher for the children in the army."

After He Yan finished speaking, he secretly glanced at Xiao Hua. Seeing that Xiao Hua wasn't angry, he continued, "I think Capital Normal University is pretty good. I'll most likely be transferred to the Beicheng Military Region, and you can study at Capital Normal University. That way, we can visit each other when I'm on vacation or when you're on holiday. My family happens to have a house in Beicheng, so we can settle down here. When we're both busy, I'll have my cousin help us take care of Kang An. She also has a daughter, so the two kids will have a playmate. What do you think?"

This person is really good at scheming; they've been considering things from their own perspective the whole time.

"Thank you so much for your concern, but unfortunately I've already filled out the school applications," Xiaohua said sarcastically.

He Yan immediately said, "If you want to, you can change it. You can make changes within a week. I think Capital Normal University is the most suitable for you."

Capital Normal University is the most suitable for her? Haha, it's the most suitable for He Yan!

"You've found out quite a bit, but unfortunately, I don't want to change it. He Yan, if you dare to use your power to tamper with my application, I'll never forgive you!"

After she made those harsh words, He Yan didn't dare to say anything more.

"I'm just making a suggestion. If you don't want to, then forget it. But after my vacation ends, I won't be able to go back to the sea so often. If you and the child come to Beicheng, the three of us can be together more often."
