"I'm fine. It's all over. I'll just not have anything to do with them in the future."
Although Xiaomei spoke in a casual manner, Xu Mengyao could clearly feel that she had become silent again from her original cheerful self.
After school started, Hu Min brought Qingbao home several times, but was turned away every time.
Later, Hu Min went to the school gate of Danda University alone to wait for them, but was sent away by Xu Mengyao and her roommates in Dormitory 103.
Despite this, Xiaomei's mood was still greatly affected.
Huanshi couldn't go back, and Haishi was also disturbed. Xu Mengyao decided to take Xiaomei to a new environment so that she would no longer be disturbed.
Originally, Xu Mengyao found her mentor and proposed the idea of ending her studies early and studying abroad.
Unexpectedly, after hearing this, the instructor smiled and said, "What a coincidence! Our school is planning to send a group of students abroad for further studies. You and Zhang Xiaomei should both fill out the application."
After the two decided to go, they immediately began to prepare the materials needed to go abroad.
When Huang Shao came back, he saw two girls squatting in front of the coffee table, writing something, with many papers on the table.
"What are you doing?" Huang Shao asked as he took off his coat and put it on the sofa.
Xu Mengyao answered as she wrote:
"I'm filling out the documents for studying abroad. Xiaomei and I are planning to finish our studies early and go abroad for graduate studies. It just so happens that our school has a plan to send a group of students abroad for further studies."
Huang Shao frowned and asked, "Why are you going abroad for no reason?"
Xu Mengyao didn't explain much, she simply said:
"I just want to change the environment. Maybe a foreign country is more suitable for me."
Huang Shao looked at Xu Mengyao and asked emphatically, "Are you going there because that kid from the Chen family is abroad?"
Xu Mengyao didn't even raise her head: "Fourth Uncle, stop rubbing it. Chen Chen and I are not in that kind of relationship. And I'm going to America, which is not the same country as him."
Huang Shao was still puzzled. "Then why do you insist on going abroad? Even though you started school earlier than others and skipped a grade, isn't it enough for a girl to just finish college? Why do you have to go to graduate school? You'll be so old when you come back. It's better to graduate from college and find a good job. Then your family can help you find a marriage partner."
Hearing this, Xu Mengyao put down the pen in her hand, raised her head, and said seriously:
"Fourth Uncle, I never studied to find a good job, let alone to find someone to marry and have children. I want to see the world and become a better person, not to find a better man. Women have never been men's appendages. I want to be an independent tree, not a vine clinging to a tree."
Huang Shao looked at his niece's serious face and didn't say anything for a long time.
Xiaomei also put down her writing and waited quietly for Huang Shao's reaction.
Suddenly, Huang Shao lowered his head and smiled: "Someone once told me that he didn't want to be a dodder."
