"Yay! I got in! Hahahaha!" Lin Bai burst out laughing when he saw the words "Kyoto University".
"Keep your voice down." Gu Yanzhu glanced at them and said irritably. Although there weren't many other houses around their yard, there were still two or three.
"Oh my! I'm so happy!" Lin Bai chuckled. Although he knew he would definitely pass the exam, he still couldn't help but be happy when he saw the results.
"Look at you, so pathetic." Gu Yanzhu said this, but the smile in his eyes was obvious.
"Hehe, ours have all arrived, so theirs should have arrived too, right?" Lin Bai asked uncertainly.
"Judging by the time, we should be here by now," Gu Yanzhu thought to herself.
...
In the town.
Jiang Anxia smiled brightly as she stared at the admission notice, but the smile quickly vanished.
She plans to go back to the brigade tomorrow; it would be best to take a look before leaving.
However, she had no intention of seeing the Jiang family. She just wanted to buy some things, leave them quietly at the door, and take a peek from afar as a farewell.
After all, once she leaves this time, it's uncertain when we'll see each other again.
Jiang Anxia's thinking wasn't because she still cared about the Jiang family's kinship; she simply wanted to repay the care she received over the past few months.
Also, their connection with her probably ends here.
...
The next day, Jiang Anxia rode her bicycle towards the brigade, taking advantage of the morning dew.
He rode slowly, taking almost an hour to get there.
Jiang Anxia first rode her bicycle to the gate of Gu Yanzhu's courtyard, then picked up her things and headed towards the Jiang family home.
Because it was still early, the gate to the Jiang family's courtyard was not yet open.
She looked at the closed courtyard gate in front of her and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
I put the things at the door and knocked on it a few times.
"Who is it? They're here." Hearing the voice, Jiang Anxia quickly turned around and hid in the corner of the wall.
Zhou Laidi wiped the water off her hands as she walked towards the door. But when she opened the door, she saw no one. She looked left and right, but still couldn't find anyone. She raised her right hand and kowtowed.
"Strange, who's doing this so early in the morning? Oh my, who put all this here? So many things!" Zhou Laidi glanced down and saw the large and small bags on the ground.
"What are you doing? What are you muttering to yourself so early in the morning?" Jiang Zhuohua walked to Zhou Laidi's side, his voice tinged with sleepiness.
“Look.” Zhou Laidi raised her eyes and gestured for Jiang Zhuohua to look down.
“This is…” Jiang Zhuohua frowned and looked around.
"Do you think... it might be that Xiaxia has come back?" Zhou Laidi asked uncertainly.
Seeing that no one was there, Jiang Zhuohua bent down, opened the bag, and looked inside.
"Yes, Xiaxia is back, but... where is Xiaxia? Where did she go?" Jiang Zhuohua's eyes showed obvious disappointment because he couldn't see her.
"I don't know. I only heard a knock on the door, and when I came out, I didn't see Xiaxia." Zhou Laidi shook her head, her face full of doubt.
"This girl, didn't we already talk it out?" Jiang Zhuohua frowned, carrying a bag in his hand.
"You idiot, hurry up and go inside." Zhou Laidi glanced at her husband with annoyance.
This roughneck is truly a roughneck; he really can't see there's a little girl in the house!
What's more, this little girl not only took over Xiaxia's room as soon as she arrived, but her tone was also full of dissatisfaction with Xiaxia.
She didn't realize it at first, but after spending more time with her, she discovered that Song Yan was a kind-faced but ruthless person.
Every time Xiaxia is mentioned, the words are full of praise, which makes people happy. But if you think about it carefully, you will find that they are all derogatory.
Therefore, Zhou Laidi disliked Song Yan from the bottom of her heart.
Jiang Anxia, who was hiding in the corner, breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the two of them carry the things inside, and then turned and left.
Although she will no longer have any contact with the Jiang family, she will not shortchange them on what she is obligated to give.
After all, I raised her for more than ten years.
Jiang Anxia pursed her lips, turned around and left.
"You're back? Did you have breakfast before you left?" Gu Yanzhu, who was standing at the door, greeted Jiang Anxia as soon as she saw her.
"Eat up! How's your packing going? Do you need any help?" Jiang Anxia suppressed her thoughts and smiled.
"No need, you just need to watch." Gu Yanzhu gently patted the little girl's head, his tone indulgent.
Jiang Anxia smiled sweetly and didn't say anything.
Gu Yanzhu lowered her head, and the two of them smiled at each other, their eyes filled with joy.
"Oh! You're back? I saw your bicycle leaning against the corner of the wall first thing this morning, and I knew you were back right away." Lin Bai held a glass of water, his eyes slightly narrowed, his face full of the satisfaction that he had guessed right.
"Yes, yes, Comrade Lin Bai is really clever." Jiang Anxia smiled, her voice tinged with a hint of teasing.
"That's right, don't you even know who I am?" Lin Bai didn't care about the meaning behind Jiang Anxia's words, and instead raised his head with a proud look.
“Really…” Jiang Anxia smiled and shook her head helplessly.
"Ignore him, he's just a narcissist." Gu Yanzhu glanced at Lin Bai, her expression seemingly speechless.
"Oh! Who are you calling narcissistic?" Lin Bai blushed and raised her head to retort.
"Whoever answers first, is the one who answers." Gu Yanzhu's lips curled slightly as she looked at Lin Bai with amusement.
"Alright! You're acting like kids, bickering all the time." Jiang Anxia shook her head; the way these two bickered was just like children.
“That’s right! Xiaxia is absolutely right.” Wang Yuejiao, who had appeared out of nowhere, jumped out from the courtyard gate.
"Jiaojiao? When did you arrive?" Jiang Anxia was very happy to see Wang Yuejiao.
"I just arrived a little while ago." Wang Yuejiao walked to Jiang Anxia's side and hugged Jiang Anxia's arm.
"Xiaxia, you don't know how much I've missed you these past few days. I wanted to go to town to visit you, but my mom absolutely refused to let me go out. She said that once I go to Kyoto, she won't see me much anymore, and that I should stay home and spend more time with her these next few days." Wang Yuejiao pouted as she recounted her longing for Jiang Anxia over the past few days.
"It's alright! We'll have plenty of time to spend together later, so you should stay home and keep your aunt company these next few days." Jiang Anxia patted Wang Yuejiao's head, her face full of comfort and affection.
"I know all that, but it's not like I'm not coming back!" Wang Yuejiao nodded.
She understood the reasons, she just wanted to share the joy of that day with Jiang Anxia and be happy with her.
“I know what you mean, but this aunt seems different! She might overthink things.” Jiang Anxia, wearing her large pendant, slowly led the person to sit down on the chair.
