On Monday, Wen Ruan first went to her workplace, asked Wang Qing for leave, and explained the reason for her leave.
She needs to go to the school to tell Lin Qingyou about her decision, and then she needs to find out about the various follow-up matters, which will take some time.
After Wen Ruan told Wang Qing about the matter truthfully, Wang Qing was very happy: "Great! This is a very good opportunity and it is very important for your future development. You should discuss this with your teacher Lin first. Don't worry about your work unit. Just let me know in advance when you finally decide on your departure date and make sure you have a proper handover of your work."
Wen Ruan nodded in agreement, packed her things, and prepared to head to Tsinghua University to find Lin Qingyou.
"Professor Lin..." Wen Ruan took the bus to the school to save time.
Just as I reached the door of Lin Qingyou's office, I ran into him coming out.
"Do you have time?" Lin Qingyou asked before Wen Ruan could even speak.
"Yes, there is!" Wen Ruan nodded quickly. Lin Qingyou didn't stop walking and gestured for Wen Ruan to follow.
"If you have time, we can talk about the rest later. I happen to have a class where the teaching assistant isn't here. Could you temporarily act as my teaching assistant?"
Wen Ruan quickly responded and agreed, then followed.
It was a coincidence that Lin Qingyou was going to attend the class that was Class 1 of the 1977 International Relations program. When Wen Ruan followed him into the classroom, she saw those familiar faces and was somewhat stunned.
Dong Ya... Zhao Xiaoyan... Zhao Xiaogang...
The people in the classroom were somewhat surprised to see Wen Ruan come in with Professor Lin. Usually, the teaching assistant would be with him, but it seemed that the teaching assistant wasn't there this time; it was Wen Ruan.
A commotion arose from below the classroom podium. Everyone was somewhat surprised. Wen Ruan had become a legend in the International Relations Class 1. Not only was she beautiful at a young age, but she also got married young. She entered their class with the highest score in the country that year and stayed in the class for half a semester. After that, she skipped grades all the way and finally completed the course that a normal person should take three years to complete in one year.
As soon as the first semester of her freshman year ended, she was recommended by her professor to do an internship at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Wen Ruan's deeds are now not only circulating in her class, but even the whole school knows about her.
She had become the "other people's student" that professors talked about in class, a model student who was often used as an example. Her beauty had become Wen Ruan's least noteworthy advantage.
Everyone felt that Wen Ruan was a distant person. Sometimes, when they thought about how she had actually spent half a year in their class and was once their classmate, they felt as if it were a dream.
And now this person is standing in front of me again, but it seems to have changed his identity, and I am filled with complex emotions.
The same goes for Wen Ruan. This is where her learning journey began, where her dreams took flight, where she set firm on her goals, and where she found her future direction.
And there were familiar faces in the audience, people who had fought alongside him in the dorm, library, and classroom back then...
When the course ended, Wen Ruan waited for Lin Qingyou to pack his things, planning to treat him to lunch and then discuss the various matters related to her desire to go abroad for an exchange program.
Zhao Xiaoyan and Dong Ya followed, glanced at Professor Lin Qingyou, and then looked at Wen Ruan.
At this moment, Lin Qingyou suddenly realized that Class 1 of the 1977 International Relations program was the class Wen Ruan had entered the school. Seeing the two girls who usually performed well in class, it seemed that the group of them often sat together back then.
So he pointed to the side and said, "Ruan Ruan, those two classmates must be your roommates. They're probably waiting for you to catch up. Go ahead and come find me in the office later."
After hearing Lin Qingyou's instructions, Wen Ruan nodded gratefully and hurried towards the two of them.
Zhao Xiaoyan was excited. When she saw Wen Ruan coming over, she quickly walked a few steps towards her and went to greet her: "Ruan Ruan! Long time no see!" She even shook Wen Ruan's arm happily.
Dong Ya was also very happy, looking at Wen Ruan with a slight smile on her face.
Wen Ruan rarely came to school before, unless there was something special, she would quickly find time to finish it and then leave.
In addition, Wen Ruan had already discussed with the professors that as long as she didn't miss the classes and could pass the final exam smoothly, everyone would turn a blind eye to her. As a result, Wen Ruan rarely came to school. In addition, she was too busy with work, so it was difficult for her to run into Zhao Xiaoyan and the others.
Wen Ruan thought for a moment, and realized that it seemed like they hadn't seen each other since the beginning of the semester, especially since Wen Ruan skipped a grade, and the chances of them meeting had become increasingly rare.
Thinking back to the days when we studied, ate, and struggled together, I can't help but feel nostalgic.
"Ruan Ruan, what brings you here today? Are you one of our teaching assistants? Or are you going to be one of our teaching assistants from now on? Aren't you still a student? I heard you're a senior now, so you just need to finish your graduation thesis and pass it to graduate?"
Wen Ruan was both amused and exasperated by Zhao Xiaoyan's barrage of questions, unsure where to begin. However, she noticed Dong Ya's curious expression and the two of them looking at her expectantly.
Wen Ruan had no choice but to patiently answer their questions one by one, satisfying their curiosity.
When they heard that Wen Ruan was indeed a senior in college and would graduate in a year, they were filled with envy and looked at Wen Ruan with great admiration.
The group chatted for a while, and Wen Ruan noticed that it was getting late. Fearing that Professor Lin would be waiting for her for too long, she said goodbye to the two of them and made an appointment to have dinner together that evening.
Wen Ruan hurried to Lin Qingyou's office. It was already late, and everyone was either eating in the cafeteria or going home. There were hardly any people on the way to the office building.
When Wen Ruan knocked and entered, Lin Qingyou put down the documents in his hand, looked at her, and his first words were: "So? What's your decision?"
"Yes, I've made up my mind, Professor." Wen Ruan walked to the desk and sat down, taking out the exchange application she had written at home long ago from her bag and handing it to Lin Qingyou with both hands.
Lin Qingyou took out his glasses, carefully wiped the lenses with the corner of his clothes, put them on, and began to carefully read Wen Ruan's application.
Seeing Lin Qingyou's serious expression, Wen Ruan couldn't help but feel a little nervous, so she sat up straight and waited for his reply.
After a long pause, Lin Qingyou asked, "Have you gotten past your family's hurdle?"
"They all agreed and were very supportive of me."
"Well, the situation has changed a bit now. I don't know if you want to change your mind." Lin Qingyou sighed softly as he said this.
Upon hearing this, Wen Ruan looked worried and nervously glanced at Lin Qingyou.
