Chapter 101 Chapter 101 [Family]
After the plane arrived at the Beijing Airport, Lin Yimu said goodbye to Professor Wan, Professor Jiang and the two observer teachers, and took a plane directly back to Yancheng with Huang Minglei and Ke Chengyan. After the dinner, Yuan Mingxu said goodbye to Professor Wan and Professor Jiang and left with his uncle, while Professor Wan stayed in Beijing for some urgent matters.
Sitting on the plane to Yancheng, now they were the only two people, Huang Minglei asked: "I thought you would stay in Beijing and report to Beijing University directly when school starts."
Lin Yimu was busy sorting through the library materials in his mind, saying, "How can that be possible? There is still more than a month before school starts. I don't have any relatives or friends in Beijing, and I have been away from home for so long. If I have time, I will definitely go home. Not to mention me, you didn't stay in Beijing either."
Huang Minglei smiled and said, "You also said that we have been participating in training for such a long time, plus the time to participate in IMO, we have been away from home for a long time. It won't be too late to go back to see our parents and then come back to Beijing. Besides, we will definitely be busier after going to college, and we may not have time to go home during the winter and summer vacations." Huang Minglei sighed helplessly at the end.
"That's true. We can go together when we set off for Beijing. We'll have someone to keep us company." Lin Yimu suddenly suggested.
Huang Minglei agreed without a second thought, and then mentioned that Lin Yimu had agreed to an interview with Professor Wan from Yancheng TV. Huang Minglei worriedly said, "We don't know when the TV interview will be. Don't let that reporter be like the one before, asking some weird questions just to find a hot topic?"
After Huang Minglei's reminder, Lin Yimu also remembered that he had to participate in an interview with a TV station after returning. However, this was the other party who found Professor Wan and took the initiative to ask him out, so they shouldn't ask any excessive questions, right?
Thinking of this, Lin Yimu said it uncertainly, but because neither of them had ever met people from the TV station and didn't know what the people over there thought, both of them remained silent.
After a while, Lin Yimu was in a good mood and smiled to comfort Huang Minglei who was worried about him, "Well, it's not time yet anyway, so we don't have to worry about taking out a loan in advance. When I get home, I'll see how the reporters from Yancheng TV interview so that I can deal with them better. Besides, won't we still have Professor Wan by then?"
Huang Minglei looked at the careless guy speechlessly. He also knew that it was useless for them to worry about it now. He could only give Lin Yimu a cold look and not mention the topic anymore.
The plane landed at Yancheng Airport. Because it was already late when they returned to Peking University from Argentina, the two of them walked out of the airport with their luggage. The sky outside was already setting and the sky was full of red clouds.
The parents who came to pick them up were already waiting at the airport exit. When they saw the two coming out of the airport exit, they hurried forward and took the luggage from their hands.
Lin Yimu followed his father forward. Before getting in the car, he said goodbye to Huang Minglei and agreed on a time to go to Beijing together, then they got in their respective cars.
When he returned home, Lin Yimu was still talking to his father about what had happened in the past few months, and he put his backpack on the counter at the entrance.
Jiang Wanqiu, who was busy in the kitchen, heard the noise and came out with a spatula in her hand. When she saw the two of them, she immediately smiled and said, "You're back. Hurry up, clean up quickly. We can eat when the soup is ready."
Lin Yimu smelled the aroma of food when he entered the door. When he heard his mother's words, he responded with a smile and looked towards the dining table. He saw a table full of dishes, and most of them were his favorites.
Lin Yimu took a deep breath happily, with a sincere smile on his face, and said, "It smells so good. What I miss most after being away for so long is your cooking skills, mom. The food we eat outside is not delicious, especially during the few days in Argentina where I participated in the competition. I ate Western food and seafood every day. I almost vomited."
Jiang Wanqiu nodded at Lin Yimu and said with amusement: "How come you are so talkative after not seeing you for a while? If you want to eat so much, why don't you go wash your hands and eat?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Yimu responded with a smile, and without caring about his father, he quickly ran into the house to wash his hands in the bathroom.
The family had a warm dinner together. After the meal, Lin Yimu told Jiang Wanqiu about his experiences in the training team and participating in competitions over the past few months, and then took out the medals he had won and gave them to the two.
Jiang Wanqiu couldn't hide the joy on her face as she looked at the medal in her hand.
Although she always felt that her son had changed a lot since he participated in that talent show, if it weren't for some of his small habits that remained the same, Jiang Wanqiu sometimes would suspect that her son had been switched.
However, Jiang Wanqiu had carefully observed her son for a long time before, especially during the time they went traveling together during the winter vacation. The family could be said to be together day and night, which allowed Jiang Wanqiu to observe her son more carefully.
But in the end she came to a good conclusion. Some of her son's little habits, the marks on his body, and even the way he got along with them were exactly the same as those of her previous son who didn't like to study and was playful. This made Jiang Wanqiu completely relieved.
Now that she sees her son become so outstanding and even win the gold medal and special prize in the IMO competition, Jiang Wanqiu is very pleased in her heart. She even feels guilty that she had such an outrageous idea to doubt her son before. Maybe her son can have such a change just because he has grown up.
"Our Xiaomu is really amazing. Now he is the child that many parents talk about. Your mom and your dad have finally experienced the feeling of being envied by others." Jiang Wanqiu said with emotion and satisfaction as she looked at the special award and first prize medals in her hands.
Lin Yimu felt ashamed when he heard this, but he also knew that his grades at this time in his previous life were really not that good. But now it is different, everything is going in a different direction from the previous life.
"Mom, judging from what you said, I wasn't that bad before, was I?"
Hearing this, Jiang Wanqiu smiled and glanced at Lin Yimu, saying, "What do you think? I still remember what you were like before. Every time there is a parent-teacher meeting, I, your mom, feel embarrassed sitting there as a teacher. I have taught so many students but I just can't teach you well!" As she said that, she reached out and poked Lin Yimu's forehead in annoyance.
Lin Yimu covered his forehead and smiled flatteringly at Jiang Wanqiu, "Mom, I was ignorant before! I always thought that since you and Dad were by my side, it didn't matter if I didn't work hard for the rest of my life. But after participating in that talent show, I clearly realized how outrageous and naive my thoughts were."
Lin Yi Mu was silent for a moment when he said this, thinking about the hard times he had experienced in the entertainment industry in his previous life, and the difficulties they had faced during the talent show when those trainees who claimed to have talent and background bullied the amateurs. Lin Yi Mu closed his eyes, suppressed the bitterness in his heart, and continued speaking.
"It was also during that talent show that I understood a truth. Not everyone in this world will tolerate and help me like you, my parents, do. After leaving home and school, only when I have enough strength that others cannot abandon me can I gain a foothold in society. That's why I am who I am now. Only the knowledge I remember in my mind can give me the confidence to walk in the world in the future."
Jiang Wanqiu and Lin Bohan looked at each other. Seeing their son suddenly become serious, they felt proud and relieved, but more of it was heartache.
They didn't know what their son went through when he participated in the talent show that led to him becoming what he is now, but since his son didn't want to talk about it and they respected his decision and didn't ask, they couldn't help feeling a little uncomfortable.
"Mom and Dad know that our Xiaomu has grown up. Although we don't know what you have been through, we won't ask since you don't want to talk about it. But your idea is good. Knowledge is a lifelong wealth. Mom and Dad will always support your decisions and ideas!" Lin Bohan patted Lin Yimu's shoulder with satisfaction to show his support.
Jiang Wanqiu, on the other hand, has a loving mother mentality. Although she supports her son's decision, she is more worried about his health. "Your dad is right. Mom also supports and respects you, but you also have to take care of your health. Come back when you are tired. Mom and Dad will always have your back."
Lin Yimu looked at his parents' concern for him, and thought about how they died so suddenly in his previous life, and the reason was because of him, so his eyes became red.
Lin Yi Mu nodded with red eyes and a choked voice, "I understand, Mom and Dad, thank you." After that, Lin Yi Mu gave Jiang Wanqiu and Lin Bohan a hug each.
The couple looked at their son who suddenly started to act like a spoiled child, and patted Lin Yimu on the back with some amusement, but they didn't say anything or push him away.
In the next few days, the family of three spent time together in a warm and cozy atmosphere. Even Lin Yimu, whose personality had become much more mature, would occasionally act like a spoiled child in front of his parents, as if he had turned back into the Lin Yimu who was playful and didn't like to study at this time in his previous life. This made Jiang Wanqiu and Lin Bohan feel both amused and happy at the same time.
During this time that Lin Yimu was at home, although he wanted to spend more time with his parents, he had already agreed to be interviewed by Professor Wan and Yancheng TV, so he had been making preparations.
That is, he would often tune into that channel of Yancheng TV station and listen to their news interviews at the appointed time. Lin Bohan and Jiang Wanqiu even thought that he started to like watching the news. They wondered if he had been bored at home for too long and almost kicked him out of the house again.
Just two days after Lin Yimu learned about the TV station's interview style, he received a call from Professor Wan, telling him to arrive at Yangzhou University for an interview around 2 p.m. the next day and asking him to prepare in advance.
