In the capital at night, neon lights flicker like stars.

There were not many people at the airport on New Year's Eve. Only the departure gate was crowded with people, because there were passengers who had just got off the plane and people who came to greet the passengers, crowded together.

Suddenly, a tall and handsome man walked out of the exit in the crowd. He walked very fast, holding a black leather bag in his right hand. He was wearing a brown leather jacket, which was very cool. His bangs were flying and he was wearing sunglasses. You could tell at a glance that he had just returned from abroad. He was full of foreign airs. When he walked, he was like a moving catwalk, attracting the attention of the people coming and going.

People who didn't know the situation thought it was a celebrity who had returned to China in disguise because he had such a handsome face. Until someone shouted from the other side: "Doctor Cao Yong."

The man stopped.

The person who was shouting on the other side hurried over to him. He was a short young man in a neat suit and tie. He said to him, "Doctor Cao, I was sent by the dean to pick you up. My last name is Du, and you can call me Xiao Du."

As he spoke, Xiao Du stretched out his hand and rushed to help carry the black luggage bag in Cao Yong's hand.

Cao Yong couldn't rob the man, so he let the man carry the bag for him and put his sunglasses into the chest pocket of his leather jacket.

"Doctor Cao, is this the only bag you have?" Xiao Du asked. He had never seen anyone returning home with so little luggage.

...

...

"I have other luggage, and my friend will help me check it back in a couple of days. I'll come back first." Cao Yong said.

After understanding, Xiao Du said, "The car that will pick you up is at the airport gate. I'll take you there."

"Who are you to the dean?" Cao Yong asked.

"I'm the dean's assistant. I work in the hospital's personnel department. I'm new here, so Dr. Cao doesn't recognize me." Xiao Du was obviously nervous when he answered him.

"The dean asked you to pick me up. Didn't I say that no one is needed to pick me up?" Cao Yong asked again.

"Doctor Cao, you have been studying abroad for three years and will be back for the Chinese New Year. The dean said that you have worked hard on this trip, so he asked me to pick you up. He also said that tomorrow, the first day of the Chinese New Year, he would let you go to his house to eat dumplings."

It seems that eating dumplings is the key point for the latter. Cao Yong raised his eyebrows and said, "Okay, I understand."

The two then arrived outside the airport and got into a car that had been waiting outside to pick them up.

Sitting in the car, Cao Yong took out his mobile phone and called his old classmate Ren Chongda.

"You're back?" Ren Chongda was deeply surprised when he suddenly received a call from him.

"Yes, I just got off the plane." said Cao Yong.

"When did you come back? You didn't inform us that you were arriving today, so we thought you would be back after the New Year." Ren Chongda muttered and complained that handsome Cao didn't greet them in advance.

"How can I not go back home for the New Year?" Cao Yong said in a relaxed tone, and then criticized his old classmates for making a fuss, "I just went there for study and exchange, I didn't do anything big, why do you have to notify you to pick me up at the airport?"

"Isn't it my duty to pick you up? You've been gone for three years. We haven't seen each other in over three years."

It is said that the training period is three years, but there is still preparation work to be done before going, so it will take another half a year.

While listening to his old classmates' sighs, Cao Yong also looked at the road scenery along the way outside the car window.

Every scene seemed familiar, yet strange. Over the past three years, the city has been undergoing repairs and has changed a lot.
