Except for Chen Xueyun and her daughter, all the other guests had arrived at Lu Yan's house. Lu Yan's mother was chopping vegetables in the kitchen, and Lu Yan went over to cook the chopped vegetables. The guests also helped, but unfortunately, Lu Yan's house only had one wok, so with so many people, they couldn't even touch the spatula.

Lu Yan cooked her signature dish, Lan Qingyue cooked her signature dish, Guan Zhizhi and Yu Qingqing also showed off their cooking skills, while kitchen killers Lin Ranran and Si Yiming rubbed their hands together, wandering around the person in charge of cooking, looking for an opportunity to "show off their skills".

Lan Qingyue was quite troubled by the two's inexplicable self-confidence. Didn't they ever taste the food themselves when they cooked?

But confidence is good, really good.

A table full of simple home-style dishes, all looking and tasting delicious, even made the picky eater Xiu Kaijie eat an extra bowl of rice.

Needless to say, Chu Chu insisted on sitting between Lu Yan's mother and Lin Ranran during meals, far away from Lan Qingyue. Her chubby little fingers would strike wherever they landed, and she ate with her mouth full of oil. After eating her fill, she would lie lazily on the recliner, pat her round belly, and let out a big, satisfied burp.

After the guests had eaten and drunk their fill, washed the dishes, and tidied up their belongings, they reluctantly said goodbye and went back to rest.

Lan Qingyue didn't take a nap. She carried Chu Chu back to her room, placed her inside, and covered her with a quilt to prevent her from falling out. After confirming that Chu Chu was sleeping soundly and wouldn't wake up easily, she turned the fan to the lowest setting, closed the door, and went downstairs.

Lu Yan's mother was watching a challenge show in the living room. The guests had to pass the seventh challenge and climb the platform to win exquisite gifts. Some guests fell into the water halfway through, and Lu Yan's mother would say with regret, "Oh, they were too hasty. Panicking won't do. They got all the way here and still fell into the water."

Lan Qingyue: "Big sister, I'm watching TV."

Lu Yan's mother: "Yes, yes, do you want to watch it together? This obstacle course show is quite good, I watch it often."

"I like it too." Lan Qingyue was telling the truth; she enjoyed watching this program when she was on vacation at home.

Lan Qingyue was only twenty years old, and she was always a little shy in front of unfamiliar people. After saying a few words, she didn't know what topic to talk about with Lu Yan's mother.

At this moment, Lu Yan came out of the room, greeted Lan Qingyue, and said, "Mom, I have to go to the school again tomorrow to pick up my admission notice."

Lu Yan's mother: "??? Didn't you already take it?"

Lu Yan sat on the sofa and replied, "Yes, but I also enrolled in a self-study bachelor's degree program. I didn't know if I could pass the exams when I enrolled, so I didn't tell you. Today I received a call from the courier; my acceptance letter has arrived."

Self-study bachelor's degree?

Lan Qingyue had heard of this. After their admission notices came out, some students failed the exam and either had to be admitted through supplementary admission or take a self-study exam. There was a link in the class group at the time, but Lan Qingyue was very satisfied with the school she was admitted to, so she didn't click on it.

Judging from the chat messages in the class group, she knew a little about it. There was a difference between self-study exams and unified exams. After the start of the semester, self-study students were assigned to self-study undergraduate classes. Moreover, there was no age limit for self-study exams, which meant that some students in a class might be in their fifties or sixties.

Lan Qingyue didn't know much about it, so she didn't say anything. Lu Yan's mother seized on the key words "undergraduate" and immediately said seriously, "Is this undergraduate institution public or private? If it's public, then you should go and study for this undergraduate degree."
