The Qi family members were all very friendly towards Lin Jiayi.
This made Lin Jiayi feel more indebted to them and closer to them.
After sitting and chatting for a while, Lin Jiayi drank milk tea and ate fruit snacks, and his stomach was full in a short while.
He was shocked and realized, "Oh, I was so focused on eating and drinking that I forgot to bring any gifts. I came here empty-handed."
I thought so in my heart and said it out loud.
Everyone looked at him.
His cheeks flushed red, and he felt indescribably embarrassed and helpless.
Wendy chuckled, and soon everyone joined in the laughter.
This kid is so cute.
Lin Shuyi called to urge them, and Wen Dai persuaded Lin Jiayi to go first. Lin Jiayi said hello to everyone and left.
In the evening, Qi Xixing came back.
While dining with his family, he brought back two pieces of news: "Xiao Yao will be back tomorrow! He's invited a visiting academic group to spend two days at our hotel. The group has agreed, so the reception at Jinling University will be delayed by two days."
Yu Wanqiao was overjoyed: "That's great!"
Wen Dai, understanding the worldly affairs, said, "I'll go get some Chinese specialties to take back with them! Academician Li has been taking good care of Xiaoyao all along the way, and Xiaoyao said he loves rock tea. I'll go to the teahouse tomorrow and ask Xiangqin to order a batch of good ones. From now on, Academician Li's tea will be fully covered by our family."
Qi Zheng smiled brightly: "Xiaoyao's return is just in time! I've been thinking hard for a few days and finally decided on three good names! When Xiaoyao comes back, we'll have a simple family meeting, write down all the names everyone has come up with, and then vote!"
Qi Xixing: "Democratic voting! Our family of five..."
"Six!" Wen Dai interrupted her husband, "And Jiayi, too! Jiayi wants to vote too!"
Yu Wanqiao was deeply moved: "After I vote, when Tiantian is born, there will be seven of us in the family!"
The whole family laughed.
After dinner, Yu Wanqiao sent a message to Lin Jiayi, asking him to think of a name for the baby and participate in the family vote.
Lin Jiayi was so moved that tears welled up in his eyes, but he tried hard not to let Lin Shuyi see.
Lin Shuyi also prepared a lot of his favorite food tonight, but he kept asking Lin Shuyi to go to the Qi family to apologize, but Lin Shuyi refused to do so. The warm atmosphere between mother and son ended in a bad way.
Lin Jiayi stayed in the city villa for only one night before taking his luggage to the Qi family in Tangquan Town.
He still lives in the same room on the second floor as before.
The Qi family was very busy that day.
Wen Dai asked someone to carefully pack the prepared specialties into gift boxes, including Suzhou embroidery round fans, mulberry silk scarves, Yuhua tea, Biluochun, gold foil paintings, as well as Hui ink and fragrant vinegar from surrounding cities, etc. She put together a box for each person on the list.
Yu Wanqiao helped her check them one by one, then called the lobby manager to drive a shuttle bus to transport all of them away and placed them in the room where they were staying in advance.
After the hotel bus went to the high-speed railway station to pick people up, Wen Dai, Lin Jiayi and the hotel staff went to pick them up in person. When everyone got off the bus in order, each person was given a beautiful flower crown and a chip bracelet that would exempt all purchases in the hotel.
Qi Yao saw Wen Dai and Lin Jiayi and happily went up to hug them: "Mom! Jiayi!"
Professor Li Yue also went over to greet Wen Dai: "Mrs. Qi, hahahaha, you have raised a good son!"
Wen Dai shook hands with him, feeling incredibly excited. "Academician Li! My little Yao is so lucky to be able to study with you! Thank you for taking care of him these days!"
Professor Li Yue smiled and said, "You don't have to be so polite. I heard that you are also engaged in education. So, we are comrades!"
"No, no, how can I compare with a great scholar like you?" Wen Dai said with a smile, "Please come in. We have prepared a welcoming banquet for everyone. I will take you to your room first!"
Everyone followed in a lively manner and soon found their respective rooms.
Without affecting the hotel's original bookings, Qi Xixing vacated the three cliff villas. There are natural hot springs in the courtyard of the villas, the environment is relatively private, and the decoration, hardware and software are also very luxurious.
When we arrived at our accommodation, we were surprised to find it so comfortable.
Many foreign classmates gave Qi Yao a thumbs up and praised his family for being so great and rich.
Qi Yao was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. Seeing that everyone had found their rooms, he and his master quickly found their rooms as well.
On the top floor of Villa No. 1, there is a separate hot spring that leads directly to the bathroom of the top floor suite, so Li Yue can enjoy the hot spring in his own suite without leaving the room. Moreover, Li Yue has an entire floor to himself. There is also a sky garden on the top floor with many precious plants, a teahouse for guests, and an astronomical telescope, which is very convenient for viewing the mountain view, the sunset, and the stars.
Li Yue was so satisfied: "After being tired for so long, I can finally enjoy myself luxuriously."
Wen Dai pointed to his bedroom and said, "Academician Li, we have prepared some specialties for you. Every member of the academic group has one."
Li Yue glanced at the bedroom door and thanked him, "You're so kind! On behalf of every member of the academic group, I thank you!"
In the evening, Qi Xixing and his wife attended the welcoming banquet together to welcome every member of the academic group.
Those who were afraid to drink too much before can drink as much as they want tonight.
The banquet ended.
Qi Yao walked along the moonlit path with Qi Xixing and his wife, and Lin Jiayi, and returned home happily.
His pace was faster than any of them.
He was too far ahead and felt embarrassed. He stopped and looked back at them, complaining, "Mom and Dad, please walk faster!"
