Part Three Chapter 17 A Talk Between Mother and Son

id 。At that time, Tang Su was also in the hospital ward. She rarely spoke to Lin Zhi when she came back, even less than she did with the nurses. 。Actually, Lin Zhiyao had heard the caregivers of Zhang...Between bouts of nervousness, she would subconsciously search for Song Jingye's figure. He was standing with several elders, engaged in a serious conversation. Chen Ning recognized them; they occasionally appeared on television, and were figures whose movements she now had to be aware of in her studies.

After finishing the conversation, Song Jingye chose a slightly secluded corner to sit. He wasn't wearing his mask this time, and there was a hint of relaxation in him. His gaze fell on the happy family of three on stage, but she knew he was only looking at one person. There was no one else in his eyes. The little baby was crying loudly, and everyone was laughing. He also smiled, but when he looked down, there was an indescribable bitterness in his smile.

Seeing this, she felt a pang of bitterness in her heart, but could only pretend nothing was wrong and took a sip of the water before her. She didn't need comfort, nor did she seek it.

After the banquet, the lady next to her suddenly said, "Xiao Ning, wait a moment, I'll have Kyo send you back."

Chen Ning only realized after the fact that the person sitting next to her tonight was Song Jingye's mother. Even with her trained composure and strong mentality, she couldn't help but blush and her eyes darted around nervously at this moment.

"No, thank you, Auntie."

Song's mother stood directly beside her: "It's fine, he doesn't have anything to do tonight anyway. He's going to take me home."

He immediately called Song Jingye.

Song Jingye came out after a while, and Song's mother directly asked, "Didn't you drink"

"Didn't drink."

"Take me home, and by the way, take Xiaoning back too."

Song Jingye glanced at Chen Ning's reply.

He didn't refuse and walked ahead.

Chen Ling didn't come back to her senses until she got on the bus. Her mind kept replaying how long she had spent with her mother tonight. Had she done anything inappropriate

"little"

Mother Song asked warmly again.

Chen Ning immediately reported the school's address.

"Haven't graduated yet"

"I'm graduating soon."

"Not bad, quite promising for your age."

The two chatted, their conversation curt but hinting at Song's mother's good mood.

Song Jingye didn't think in any other direction at all. He drove her to the school gate, said goodbye, and then turned the car around and left.

"This girl is quite good. How did you meet her" Mother Song asked, and in her heart, she already had a pretty good understanding of her son's preference. He liked young girls, didn't he Then wouldn't the Miss Lu family seem especially young

"My previous scholarship students," Song Jingye simply said, without elaborating.

"Although she is not as beautiful as Miss Lu, she is pretty with clear eyebrows and bright eyes. She is graceful and elegant, a good match for you."

"What in the world are you talking about Stop it." It was then that Song Jingye realized what his mother was thinking.

"If I don't say anything, will you forget about Miss Lu Don't think Mom hasn't noticed how many times you looked at her tonight."

Song Jingye's face immediately turned sour, and he sped up the car. He never had any improper thoughts towards YaoYao, and seeing her happy today, he sincerely wished for her happiness and shared in her joy.

"Well, never mind. This little lemon is pretty good today. Trust your mother's judgement."

She softened her tone, and Song Jingye softened his as well. “Mom, you’re really something else. She's almost ten years younger than me; she always calls me uncle.”

He thought the young girl had ignored him for several years and now was respectful towards him, not even daring to look at him too long.

"I think this age difference is just right."

"Don't play matchmaker."

"Okay, I'm done talking. You..."

“If you can sleep alone at night, that's great.” Song’s mother also admired his vigor and vitality. At this age, he could really hold out. Raising a child to be so upright, she wasn't sure if it was good or bad. She finished speaking and sighed.

Song Jingye wasn't used to talking about these private topics with his own mother. He was a normal man, especially in recent years, he had become more aware of love and romance. There were times when he felt impulsive, but if he didn't have some self-control, he would be betraying his profession.

"Just stay home and sleep tonight. Don't go back to that little courtyard of yours." After getting out of the car, Song's mother went straight back into the house. Now, whenever she saw a girl who looked similar, her heart would blossom, and she couldn't wait to find someone to inquire about Chen Ling's situation. When Song Jingye was in his 20s, she still cared about finding a suitable match, but now that she was in her early 30s, as long as the girl had a good character and no blemishes, it would be fine.

Chen Ning returned to school and walked towards her dormitory. The feeling of panic eased slightly, but she was caught off guard when she saw her mother. She was worried about how she had performed.

When she reached their dormitory, her roommate Tao Kaiyan was studying at her desk. She gave a casual greeting upon seeing her and then continued to bury herself in her books.

Tao Kaiyan graduated from a foreign language academy and was admitted to their school, also being Professor Zhao's student in the same grade. She has strong foreign language skills.

Roommates for two years, our relationship is neither close nor distant. We can help each other with things like cooking meals or picking up packages, but we're not at the point where we go shopping or talk about our feelings.

Well, for one thing, everyone is busy with their own lives. Secondly, Professor Zhao only took in three students this year: the two of them and Xu Haichen. She and Xu Haichen have been classmates since freshman year and they both came directly from the same department, so their relationship is naturally closer than hers with Tao Kaiyan. So the roommate relationship is a bit delicate.

In terms of diligence, Tao Kaiyan is no less than Chen Ninghui. The two have very close scores and are neck and neck. Of course, those who can get into their graduate school are the kings and queens of studying.

Chen Ning put down the souvenirs she brought back from the Hundred-Day Banquet and, after a quick shower, immediately dove into her studies.

Professor Zhao will be going abroad next month to attend an exchange event and plans to take two students with him to learn. Given Professor Zhao's fondness for Xu Haichen, one of the spots is undoubtedly his. The other spot, however, will be chosen from among Professor Zhao's other students. As Professor Zhao is also a supervisor for doctoral students, there are several PhD candidates under him, making the competition for this spot extremely intense.

Her hair was still wet, sitting at her desk ready to open her computer when Xu Hachen's voice call request came in. She got up and went to the door to answer it.

Xú Háochén asked: "How are your preparations going"

What to prepare

"Professor Zhao's exchange meeting quota."

Chen Ling admitted that she was not confident, saying: "I can't quite exert myself. It feels like I did everything but also nothing at all."

Xu Haichen asked, "Tell me first, what efforts have you made for this spot I'll help you analyze them."

"That's exactly what you said, get closer to Professor Zhao personally, try to do more on his projects, and also help him tidy up his desk. If you meet him in the cafeteria, try to grab his food for him." She felt embarrassed as she said this, what was she even saying But she really wasn't good at being nice to people.

Xu Haichen laughed over there: "You flatterer! You're flattering the wrong horse. Old Zhao hates students who are too eager to please."

Chen Ling smiled back and said: "Then"

"Master, please give me some advice."

"Xu Haichen: Don't beat around the bush with Lao Zhao. Go straight to him and express your thoughts. Tell him about your advantages, your understanding of this event, and what you've done to prepare."rtune" to her. 。Yao walked over to her after finishing filming, and she almost didn't recognize her because Yao Yao's hair and makeup were too "rustic," even completely recreating her appearance from...
