Meng Yiming held his forehead and said, "I have to send you home and see that you get home safely. If anything goes wrong on the way, I can't be responsible."

Meng Yiming was not wearing a white coat today. He was wearing a gray suit with the outer buttons unbuttoned, revealing the matching vest underneath.

His hair was all combed back, and the streetlights reflected off his glasses, making it impossible to see his eyes clearly.

Lin also felt that his dress was a bit like Song Huaiqian's style.

They had said almost everything that needed to be said, and the two of them sat in the rickshaw in silence.

The leaves on both sides of the road have almost all fallen, leaving only bare tree trunks.

The night wind is very cool, it blows through the hair and makes people clear-headed.

Suddenly, Lin also asked, "Doctor Meng, you still don't have a partner?"

She remembered that Meng Yiming and Cheng Jingmo were about the same age, and Cheng Jingmo's child was over three years old.

Meng Yiming glanced at her sideways, "Do you have any objections?"

"No!" Lin Ye was a little cold, shrinking his neck. "I just think you're lonely at your age without even someone you like."

At such an old age?!

Meng Yiming felt a little pain in his chest, and his tone was heavy, "Men are lonely because of their excellence!"

Lin also retorted: "My brothers are also very good, but they are not lonely."

Meng Yiming rubbed his chest, glanced at Lin Ye and said, "When I was little, I promised the neighbor's child that I would marry her."

"Then why don't you marry?"

Meng Yiming smiled and said, "If you want to know anything else about foreign countries, you can ask me."

Before reaching the gate of the compound, I saw Song Huaiqian standing at the door, looking around with an anxious look on his face.

When Song Huaiqian turned around, he also saw the two people sitting in the rickshaw. He walked forward a few steps and waited by the roadside.

Before the rickshaw came to a complete stop, Lin jumped out of it in a hurry, "Dad!"

Song Huaiqian looked at Lin Ye who was running towards him and scolded him, "Did you forget what I told you again? Even if you ran out in anger, you should calculate the time to go home."

Lin also lowered his head.

Meng Yiming got off the rickshaw and took the initiative to explain, "Uncle, I saw Lin Ye alone on the road and chatted with her for a while."

Song Huaiqian nodded slightly and said politely, "Doctor Meng, please come to my house and sit for a while."

Meng Yiming said, "It's getting late. I'll come visit you another day."

"Thank you for taking Xiaoye home. Please drive slowly."

"Goodbye, uncle." Meng Yiming looked at Lin Ye again, "Lin Ye, goodbye."

Lin Ye smiled and waved at him, "Goodbye, Doctor Meng. Thank you for today."

Meng Yiming got on a rickshaw and drove away, and only then did Song Huaiqian and Lin Ye return home.

After returning home, Song Huaiqian stopped Lin Ye who was about to go back to his room, "Xiao Ye, I have something to tell you."

Yu Xiangnian and the others were very sensible and went back to their rooms, leaving only the father and daughter in the living room.

Song Huaiqian sat on the sofa. "Xiaoye, don't think your parents have other intentions. Do you want to leave this home just because you found your brother? Since you came to this family at the age of six, your parents have raised you as their own child and only want the best for you."

Lin Ye shook his head repeatedly, "Dad, I have never had such an idea!"

She knew how Song Huaiqian and Lin Yunyi treated her.

Even after Cheng Jingmo's family came to their house, they were still as nice to her as before.

Song Huaiqian said earnestly, "Regarding your studying abroad, let me tell you what's really in my heart."

"On the one hand, you're so young, it's the perfect time for you to study. It just so happens that Dad has the ability to send you out. Dad wants you to learn more knowledge so that you can have a better path in the future."

"On the other hand, society is much more complicated than you think, and your current mind is not yet capable of handling complex relationships. You need practice. You have to learn to leave us and interact with different people on your own in order to grow."

"Why didn't I suggest your sister-in-law continue her studies, and instead asked you to leave? Your sister-in-law's abilities and approach to things will allow her to thrive wherever she goes. As for you, you excel academically, but you don't understand human nature. Since you're weak in this area, you should work hard to improve your strengths. Make yourself so strong that others will look up to you, making you irreplaceable, and making sure they don't harbor any ill intentions towards you."

"Besides, Dad doesn't want you to just find an ordinary job. Dad wants you to become someone who contributes to our country. Our country has experienced turmoil in recent years, and everything is too backward. Dad hopes that you can acquire advanced knowledge and experience from abroad to build our country."

Song Huaiqian paused after he finished speaking, "Xiaoye, think carefully about what Dad said. You are in a better condition than others. You can go to school outside and don't have to worry about financial problems. You should study hard, learn knowledge, and learn how to behave."

Lin Ye half-closed her eyes and listened quietly. She remembered what Meng Yiming said today.

What Song Huaiqian said coincided with Meng Yiming's idea. On the one hand, it was paving the way for her future, and on the other hand, it was for the society and the country.

Maybe she should go out and see how far behind other countries our country is!

"Dad, how many years do I have to go?" Lin Ye asked.

Song Huaiqian said, "Learn until you feel that you can achieve what Dad said."

Lin also pursed his lips and said a little aggrievedly: "I'm a little scared to go so far alone."

Song Huaiqian smiled, "Dad will arrange for you to go with the group of students sent abroad by the government, so that you can look after each other."

"And..." Song Huaiqian said, "As you grow up and meet different boys, your perspective will change. When choosing a partner, the most important thing is to have like-minded people, mutual tolerance, and the desire to grow together."

Lin also tacitly agreed to her plan to study abroad.

She didn't know much about schools abroad, so Song Huaiqian chose a university in the United States for her.

I heard that this university is currently the best school for geology.

It’s the beginning of winter in a blink of an eye, and that day happens to be a Saturday.

Yu Xiangyang didn't go home, but ran straight to the bookstore.

I made an appointment with Wen Qiuning last week to go to her house to eat dumplings today.

Wen Qiuning still had to go to work, so she bought two pancakes and she and Yu Xiangyang simply filled their stomachs and went home to eat in the evening.

After work, the two couldn't wait to go home.

Wen Qiuning sat in the back, gently grasping his clothes with one hand, and her face moved closer to his back. She liked the smell of him.

Wenqin had already kneaded the dough and prepared the filling, and they started making dumplings as soon as they got home.

As a southerner, Yu Xiangyang rarely eats dumplings, let alone how to make them.

Wen Qin skillfully rolled out the dough, Wen Qiuning picked up the dough, put the stuffing on it, and clasped his hands together, and a dumpling was formed.

Yu Xiangyang also tried to make dumplings like Wen Qiuning, but the dumplings he made either had broken skins or the mouths wouldn't close.

Wen Qiuning taught him patiently, and Wen Qin felt sweet watching from the side.
