When Yao Tongjia woke up the next morning, she saw Xiao Gengwu. She thought they had stayed up all night, as she hadn't seen them before she went to bed.
"Why did you guys come back so late last night?" You know, this guy is both loved and hated. You love his extremely high talent, but you hate that he's unwilling to spend even a little bit of extra time.
I used to leave work on time every day, but later I would only eat lunch there, and I would come back home for breakfast and dinner.
"The research is all done, and I don't want to go all day again, so I decided to get it done for them last night. I don't want them nagging me!"
"You finished so quickly? That's impressive!"
"It's all settled. Let them handle the rest. We're about to start school."
Xiao Gengwu looked around to make sure no one was watching, then pulled Yao Tongjia's hand and said, "I haven't seen you for almost two days, and you haven't even come to see me!"
These words made Yao Tongjia laugh: "Where are the two more days? Besides, it's fine if you come to see me, but you're doing research over there. If I go, I'll just be bombarded with questions. It's not a very important matter, do you think they'll let me in?"
"Do you think I'd let you in to see my boyfriend if I said I missed him? They'd laugh me to death! You'll be leaving the house sooner or later!" Yao Tongjia's words made Xiao Gengwu laugh at himself.
Xiao Gengwu was just saying that casually; he knew, of course, that without a proper reason, it would be difficult for Yao Tongjia to see him.
Xiao Gengwu rested his head on Yao Tongjia's shoulder: "I don't care, since you haven't even tried, it means you haven't thought about me at all!"
Xiao Gengwu, who is over 1.8 meters tall, was perched on her 1.7-meter-tall shoulder, which was really quite aggrieved. She gently patted his back: "Get up quickly if someone sees us!"
"I'm not getting up. So what if you see me? We're dating. We can't get close to each other outside, but at home I can't even lean on you?" Xiao Gengwu complained.
Actually, Xiao Gengwu knew that Ruan Shengpeng had gone out for morning exercises and Yao Tongxu hadn't woken up yet, which is why he acted so recklessly. He was truly wronged.
Everyone was watching him closely, so he needed to ask Jun Nanzhu for advice on how he managed to win over He Jiayin while both families were watching.
Jun Nanzhu, who was abroad, sneezed. He was secretly pleased, thinking that He Jiayin must be missing him. Little did he know that it was Xiao Gengwu who was thinking of him.
Ms. Liu asked with concern, "Do you have a cold? Do you want to take some medicine?"
The last matter has finally been resolved. Let them swallow the bitter pill, let them fall into internal strife. Trying to shift the blame? Don't they even consider whether they're allowed to do so?
Ms. Liu leaned back in her chair. She planned to retire after returning home this time. Although she was reluctant, her status no longer allowed her to act as she had before.
She had to face reality and couldn't cause trouble for the country. From now on, she would only have one identity: a leader's family member, and she had to uphold the country's reputation.
Jun Nanzhu knew Ms. Liu's situation and that she would have to retire when she returned. He knew that a workaholic would be in a bad mood if she was forced to retire.
He really didn't know how to comfort her, remembering his mother-in-law's regret: "When we go back this time, Yinyin and I are planning to have a child. My mother has already started to help Yinyin get better."
This topic successfully attracted Ms. Liu's attention. She has two children, but she hardly raised them herself. She feels regretful as she watches her two children grow up.
Ms. Liu knew that Jun Nanzhu was trying to comfort her, so she smiled and nodded, "After you give birth, I'll help your mother take care of the baby!"
Yao Tongjia originally planned to take her mother back to school by herself, but unexpectedly all three of them came back and settled the project. They also stayed at the military camp for a long time.
After discussing it, everyone decided to set off together, with Xiao Gengwu sitting in the passenger seat.
Sitting in the back were He Jiale, Yao Tongxu, and Yao Yanxin. The two boys in the back seat watched Yao Tongjia turn the steering wheel with starry eyes.
"Sis, you're amazing! You got this certificate in half a day. I can accept that Brother Xiao is amazing, but how come you're just as amazing?"
Xiao Gengwu retorted, "When has your sister ever not been formidable?"
Yao Tongxu: "......"
"My sister is really amazing, how could she score one point lower than me on the college entrance exam?"
Yao Tongjia: "......" Is this joke going to stick?
When the group arrived at Huada University, Xiao Gengwu thought for a moment and said, "The three of us will get off the bus and go back to tidy up the house. Tongtong, you take Auntie to find Teacher Xue!"
Yao Tongjia nodded: "Okay, we'll buy the groceries later."
Upon arriving at Peking University, Yao Tongjia parked the car and took her mother directly to Professor Xue's dormitory. Professor Xue clearly knew that the mother and daughter were coming, as the door was open.
Yao Tongjia led her mother inside, and to her surprise, a very fashionable woman was sitting in Teacher Xue's dormitory, though the wrinkles around her eyes told her about her age.
Her clothes were very simple, just a simple dark blue long dress, but it made people feel very comfortable. Yao Tongjia was about to take a closer look.
Teacher Xue interrupted Yao Tongjia's train of thought: "Tongjia, come in quickly. This is Teacher Zhai, whom I want to introduce to your mother. Teacher Zhai, this is the student I want to introduce to you."
Ms. Zhai was very easygoing. She stood up, looked at Yao Yanxin, and said with gentle eyes, "Come sit down here and let's talk."
Yao Yanxin was a little nervous at first, but looking into Teacher Zhai's gentle eyes, she felt at ease: "Thank you!"
Yao Tongjia quickly handed over all of her mother's artwork: "Teacher Zhai, these were all drawn by my mother when she was bored at home."
Teacher Zhai took the papers with both hands and slowly looked at them one by one. Yao Yanxin was obviously a little nervous, and Yao Tongjia held her mother's hand reassuringly.
Teacher Xue brought over some tea, which Yao Tongjia quickly took. She then ran into the kitchen to wash the cups and poured a glass of water for everyone.
Teacher Zhai was studying the blueprints very carefully, going through them one by one, as if she had forgotten that there were people next to her. She did this until the tea got cold.
Teacher Zhai then looked up at Yao Yanxin and said, "You're quite good too. Did you study here before?"
Yao Yanxin nodded: "I used to be a pattern maker. I worked in a textile factory for several years. Or rather, I grew up in a textile factory and watched the pattern makers cut clothes."
"No wonder, your skills are top-notch. Why do you want to design clothes?"
“I didn’t have the concept of designing clothes before. It was just that I made clothes for a few children last time and suddenly realized that there were some things that could be improved. Then I felt that after the clothes were improved, the effect of wearing them was very different.”
"I just wanted to draw these pictures, then improve them, then draw them again and improve them again. I found the process extremely interesting!"
Teacher Zhai listened very gently: "So, what do you think of my outfit?"
