After saying goodbye to Wang Shiyun, Su He returned home that evening and learned from Lin Jingyan about the Lan family's fate.

As expected, because of their actions against the Wang family, they paid a heavy price. Everyone was arrested, their house was confiscated, and needless to say, they probably won't be able to return to Beijing for the rest of their lives.

Although the Wang family suffered a terrible fate and received their just deserts, Su He was still very depressed. Thinking of Wang Shiyun's change, she sighed again.

This is probably the price of growing up.

Later, Lin Jingyan told her that because she had helped the Wang family, Professor Wang was very grateful to her and said he owed her a favor.

But Su He didn't take it to heart. She helped Wang Shiyun not for any reward, but simply because they were friends, and she wouldn't watch her friend fall into a pit of fire.

So she doesn't plan to use this favor.

Lin Jingyan was the same; he listened to everything she said.

And so, that was the end of it.

...

Time flies, and it's already the end of June. A semester has passed, and the final exams are just around the corner. However, Su He isn't too nervous because they study a wide variety of subjects, so the final exams shouldn't be too difficult.

Sure enough, everyone in Su He's dorm finished their exams smoothly.

Next comes the nearly two-month summer vacation.

During such a long holiday, everyone in the dormitory except Wu Shengnan had to go home.

Su He understood that some of her roommates had gone home. After all, they had been away from home for so long, and since they were all still quite young, it was normal for them to miss home.

Yu Li from Shanghai clearly comes from a well-off family. She has published articles in newspapers several times since starting school and is a minor celebrity at her school. She is also quite wealthy.

Zhou Hongying had long said she missed her daughter. Although the Northwest was far away, she was willing to grit her teeth and go back once.

Wu Shengnan not going back was within her expectations, after all, in those days, round-trip train tickets were a huge expense for ordinary families.

Yu Tiezhuang's return home was something none of the other girls in their dormitory had expected.

Wu Shengnan had thought that someone would stay in the dormitory with her during the summer vacation, but now that she was all alone, she felt very bad.

He said sarcastically, "Yu Tiezhuang, what can you do by spending so much money on transportation back home? It's such a waste."

Yu Tiezhuang didn't take it to heart. He chuckled and explained, "I'm worried about the mountains. Summer is when there are the most wild animals in the mountains. My father isn't in good health and can't run fast. If I don't go back and wild animals come down the mountain again, the villagers probably won't be able to stop them."

Wu Shengnan curled her lip upon hearing this, "You think you're so great? Does your village not need you to survive?"

Yu Tiezhuang chuckled again upon hearing this, but remained silent.

The others were quite understanding, since Yu Tiezhuang had always liked her previous job.

After seeing everyone else in the dormitory off, Su He also went home.

Wu Shengnan was now the only one left in the dormitory, but there were quite a few people left at Peking University, so no one was too worried.

After Su He took over the job of looking after the children during her vacation, she originally planned to let Grandma Su and the others go back to the village to rest for a while.

The elderly couple disagreed because their second cousin's wife still had children, and they were worried that she wouldn't be able to take care of two children. Also, they didn't think they were that tired and were reluctant to give up their job of gluing matchboxes to earn money.

Seeing this, Su He didn't say much. Anyway, she would help them take care of the children at home, which made things much easier for the elderly couple.

She is quite free now, and occasionally she will take her child to stay at the Lin family's house for a few days, which makes Mr. and Mrs. Lin very happy.

She thought her life would continue like this, but before she even had a week to rest, she was called in by the Tianqiao Police Station to help out...
