This vacation is very long, ten days, and she plans to go back to Yuncheng with her elder brother.

But unexpectedly, just as she was packing her luggage, she suddenly received a notice from the department asking her to join the Beichuan exploration team as an intern in mid-October.

The internship period is one month. Of course, the exploration team will always be stationed in Beichuan, but the interns will return to school after the internship period.

Shen Mingxi was also stunned when she received the news, because this news was too sudden. She had just been in college for less than a month. Even if she had an excellent memory and knew the geography of China by heart, she shouldn't have gone to participate in the internship. She had heard about this matter, shouldn't it be after the sophomore year? So this news was not only inexplicable but also a bit absurd.

With full of doubts, Shen Mingxi knocked on the door of the office of his homeroom teacher, Mr. Si.

More than ten minutes later, Shen Mingxi came out, but her brows were still furrowed.

Teacher Si told him that the decision to send her to join the Beichuan internship team was made by her superiors. After all, she was the best student in this major and was the one being trained as a priority, so it was understandable that she would receive training in advance.

However, if the student himself insists on not going, he will report it to the higher authorities.

But even so, Shen Mingxi felt that this matter was a bit of a joke.

How come such a serious matter seems to be treated so casually?

Shen Mingxi stood at the door for a moment, then shook his head. He must have been overthinking it. For something like this, no matter what decision the school made, it would not be possible to seek students' opinions first. They would just make their choice first.

For example, when selecting students for the three best students at school, you cannot ask the student in advance whether he wants to be a three good student. If he does, you will not be signed up.

Generally, the decision is made directly. When I think about it this way, the doubts in my heart are gradually put to rest.

However, when she went to the library in the evening, she met Feng Anchen and her elder brother. She told them about this matter, but she didn't expect that their faces changed suddenly.

Shen Jiawen looked at Shen Mingxi's indifferent expression, frowned and asked, "Xiaoxi, don't you know what Beichuan is like?"

"Of course I know, it's very tough there."

"Then do you know that the weather in Beichuan in October is so bad that you can't even imagine it?"

Shen Mingxi blinked and nodded, but quickly said, "Brother, I know, I've already told Teacher Si that I'm not going."

After hearing this, Shen Jiawen and Feng Anchen looked at each other and felt relieved. As long as Shen Mingxi didn't want to go, this would not happen because there was no precedent.

And last year’s example doesn’t count, as that person was already a very experienced member of an exploration team before going to college.

After evening self-study, Shen Mingxi returned to her dormitory. Ouyang Ruo and Zhuo Meilin had already moved out, and two other girls came, but they were not from their geology department, but girls from other departments.

The few of them get along much more harmoniously than before, but Shen Mingxi and Zhou Yiyi have the best relationship.

Seeing Shen Mingxi coming back, Zhou Yiyi hurriedly climbed down from her bunk, ran to Shen Mingxi in a few steps, grabbed her arm, and looked at him eagerly.

Shen Mingxi found it funny, stretched out his hand and pinched her fair face, raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "Why are you looking at me like a puppy? If you want to do something, just say it."

Zhou Yiyi and Shen Mingxi were already very familiar with each other and spoke naturally and casually, even though they had only known each other for a month.

Zhou Yiyi blinked her big, watery eyes and said with a smile, "Xiaoxi, you still understand me. Xiaoxi, I don't want to go home, and I don't want to stay in the capital. I want to go to Yuncheng with you, okay?"

Shen Mingxi glanced at Zhou Yiyi and asked in a low voice, "Is your father here to see you?"

After a long while, she nodded, but her head was drooped, looking listless.

Shen Mingxi reached out and rubbed Zhou Yiyi's head with some tenderness.

She didn’t know before that Zhou Yiyi came from a single-parent family. She grew up in her grandparents’ house and depended on her mother for everything. She took her mother’s surname.

Seeing her happy all day long, like a little pistachio, she thought she had a happy family.

But few people know that Zhou Yiyi has a scumbag father who abandoned his wife and daughter.

Now that he sees that his daughter, whom he had abandoned for many years, has been admitted to Peking University, for some unknown reason, he wants to recognize her back. He has looked for her twice but Zhou Yiyi ignored him. However, Shen Mingxi also knows about this.

Shen Mingxi met Zhou Yiyi's so-called biological father once. Not to mention that the father and daughter really looked alike, especially his eyes. It has to be said that Zhou Yiyi's father was quite handsome, elegant and handsome, and was a teacher at another university.

According to Shen Mingxi's observation, Zhou Yiyi's father was a very gentle person without a trace of malice.

There is no way I can get involved with a scumbag who abandons his wife and daughter.

But isn't there a saying in this world that goes like this? Don't judge a person by his appearance, and don't measure the depth of the ocean by a bucket.

You can know a person’s face but not his heart!

So you can't tell anything by looking at the surface.

But one thing can be seen, the guilt and love in the man's eyes can't be hidden, maybe it's clearer to be a bystander, but what does it matter? No matter what he does now, he can't cover up the fact that he cruelly abandoned Zhou Yiyi's mother in order to return to the city.

Zhou Yiyi's father was one of the first batch of educated youth to go to the countryside.

Thinking of this, Shen Mingxi nodded. She also understood Zhou Yiyi's little thoughts about her eldest brother, but her eldest brother seemed to know nothing. She didn't want to say it clearly, but whether it succeeded or not, she should give them a chance.

This will also prevent Zhou Yiyi from having any regrets in the future.

However, Shen Mingxi didn’t know whether what he did was right or not, so he needed to discuss this matter with his elder brother.

Shen Mingxi had no choice but to lean over to her ear and whisper, "We'll leave tomorrow afternoon. Big brother has already bought the tickets. I'll go ask him tomorrow morning. If he can't buy the tickets, there's really nothing we can do."

This is true. You definitely can’t leave the house without a ticket.

Zhou Yiyi was a little disappointed, but she had to nod, and Shen Mingxi didn't dare to say too much.

After all, Zhou Yiyi's request was too sudden.

However, Zhou Yiyi was a considerate person and naturally would not make things difficult for Shen Mingxi. She giggled and changed the subject, and then the two of them took the washbasins to wash up.

At this time, the night was getting dark, and the moonlight was like water, covering the sky of the capital and the sky of Yuncheng.

Old Mrs. Shen brought Shen Baozhi to the harbor of Yuncheng after going through many hardships.

Thanks to Dangjiushibaobei for the reward~~~ 　　 　 (End of this chapter)
