After Li Muhan packed his luggage in the room, he thought about it and went downstairs.
She was leaving tomorrow, so she felt she had to tell Aunt Lin first.
Arriving at the door of Mrs. Lin's room on the first floor, she knocked on the door.
Mrs. Lin's voice soon came from inside, followed by the sound of the door opening.
"Mu Han?"
Mrs. Lin said very unexpectedly.
"Why are you here? What's wrong?"
It was already a bit late at this time, and Mu Han had never come to see her so late.
"Sister-in-law Lin, I just came here to tell you that I am going back to school tomorrow!"
"tomorrow?"
Mrs. Lin hurriedly took Li Muhan and took her to the room.
"Come in and talk!"
This was the first time Li Muhan entered Mrs. Lin's room and took a general glance. The room was not big, but it was very warmly decorated.
Mrs. Lin pulled Li Muhan to sit down, and then poured her a cup of black tea that had been kept warm.
"Thank you Aunt Lin!"
Li Muhan took a sip and then spoke carefully,
"I just received the notice this afternoon, asking us to return to school tomorrow and start the thesis defense!"
"That's it. How long will it take to go?"
Yes, Mu Han has not graduated yet and is still busy with school matters.
After Mrs. Lin asked, she also sat down next to Li Muhan.
"I can't say for sure yet, because I still want to see grandpa, but I have been delayed in going because of a leg injury. He will be discharged from the hospital soon!"
When Mrs. Lin heard Li Muhan mentioning his leg injury, she couldn't help showing distress on her face.
"Does the young master know?"
"I know, I just told him about it when we were eating!"
"That's good!"
Sister Lin suddenly thought that she wouldn't be able to see Li Muhan for a long time.
"I've adapted to life with you now. I'm afraid I'm not used to it now that you have to leave suddenly and for such a long time!"
Li Muhan just smiled and said nothing. This departure should only be short-lived, because things here still need to be dealt with, and she will come back again.
As for waiting until the matter is settled, we may not see each other for a long time.
But when her affairs are over, she will still come back to visit them.
Li Muhan moved his eyes elsewhere and saw a photo frame on the cabinet. Inside was a photo of Mrs. Lin and a boy.
"Who is this?"
Ask out loud.
Mrs. Lin followed Li Muhan's gaze and saw that she was looking at photos.
He directly reached out and took the photo, and then said proudly,
"This is my son, and he is currently studying in country M. Let me tell you, he is very good. He used to get scholarships every year last school year, and he is very sensible. I don't need to worry about him at all!"
Mrs. Lin's eyes instantly became very kind.
"That's great! Worth being proud of!"
Only then did she know that Aunt Lin had a son. She thought that Aunt Lin had never been married?
She had never heard her mention this son or her family.
Mrs. Lin may have noticed her doubts, so she explained directly to her.
"The man in my family used to be responsible for taking care of the yard at the old house. He also worked for many years, but he passed away due to heart disease a few years ago.
As for my son, he is also busy at ordinary times, so we have less contact. Naturally, I didn’t mention it much! "
"That's what it looks like!"
No wonder Aunt Lin never mentioned family or anything.
"What about your son? How many years has he been studying abroad?"
“It’s been three years, it was originally scheduled to be four years, and it stands to reason that I can come back at the end of this year.
But he called me some time ago and said that it might be postponed. Now he has a project in hand. Because he needs to collect data, this data alone will last for one year, so now the return date has become undetermined! "
When Mrs. Lin said this, her eyes never left the photo, and her eyes were full of longing for her son.
But then she raised her smile again and said,
"But seeing how promising this child is and how much he is loved by the professor, I, as a mother, feel very proud, so just one year later, it doesn't matter much!"
Anyway, more than three years have passed.
This may be the unanimous voice of most parents. As long as their children are well, that is their greatest wish.
Li Muhan and Mrs. Lin chatted briefly for a few more words, and then at the urging of Mrs. Lin, they said it was getting late and it was time to go back and rest.
She checked the time and saw that it was indeed time to rest, so she walked out of Mrs. Lin's room and went upstairs.
But just when she walked to the door of the room and was about to open the door and go in, Gu Chengyan opened the door and walked out.
"Still not asleep?"
Gu Chengyan was the first to ask and walked towards Li Muhan.
"I just went to talk to Aunt Lin about my return to school tomorrow!"
"So, have everything been packed?"
"It's packed, but actually there aren't many things!"
After that, both of them fell silent, not knowing what to say anymore.
One of the reasons for this is that what happened before returning back then made Li Muhan feel that she always felt a little embarrassed when facing Gu Chengyan, which made her not sure how to face him.
Although he said that she could feel more comfortable in front of him, she really couldn't do it for the time being.
Secondly, it was from Gu Chengyan's side. Li Muhan was leaving tomorrow, which made him a little reluctant to accept it for a while.
He felt like he had a lot to say to her, but he didn't know where to start.
In the end, I only came up with one sentence:
"Then go to bed early, good night!"
Li Muhan smiled and replied to him,
"you too, good night!"
Then he opened the door and returned to the room.
Gu Chengyan was the only one left outside the door. He looked at Li Muhan's door in confusion for a while, and finally went back to his room.
He completely forgot that he had something to do when he came out just now!
Time turned to the next morning, and Li Muhan got up early because she bought herself a ticket for nine in the morning.
She wanted to go there earlier, which would give her more time to adapt.
Fortunately, the two cities are not far apart and can be reached in more than an hour.
At ten minutes past seven, I got dressed, picked up my suitcase, and went downstairs.
When I arrived in the living room, I saw that Gu Chengyan, who was supposed to go to work, was still there.
"Didn't you go to work?"
But this outfit is for work!
Gu Chengyan stood up and looked at her,
"No rush, I'll take you to the car later and then go to the company!"
"No, I've already made an appointment for a car, I can just go there by myself!"
He actually wanted to send it to himself, which he didn't expect at all.
Li Muhan glanced at Gu Chengyan blankly, and then quickly looked away.
"It's better for me to send you off. It's safer and faster this way! Let's eat first!"
Gu Chengyan didn't give Li Muhan a chance to refuse, so he made the final decision and walked towards the restaurant first.
Seeing this, Li Muhan had no choice but to follow. At the same time, he took out his mobile phone and canceled the scheduled car.
As soon as they sat down, Mrs. Lin brought the freshly made dumplings and placed them in front of the two of them.
"Get in the dumplings, get off the noodles, come on, Mu Han, eat more quickly!"
"Thank you Aunt Lin!"
Li Muhan looked at the dumplings in front of him, and his eyes couldn't help but get wet.
In the past, when she left home for school, her mother would make her a plate of dumplings, and would also say to her, "Get on the dumplings, get off the noodles."
Li Muhan immediately picked one up and started eating it.
"It's so delicious. I would say Aunt Lin's cooking is the best!"
"You are the best at talking. Eat quickly. It will take some time on the road!"
"OK!"
Li Muhan stopped talking and concentrated on eating.
Gu Chengyan over there glanced at Li Muhan and saw that she was eating well, so he started eating too.
At 7:50, at the door of the villa, Mrs. Lin was giving her final instructions.
"Be careful on the road, keep an eye on your luggage, and remember to call me when you arrive to let me know it's safe!"
"knew!"
Li Muhan stepped forward and hugged Mrs. Lin.
At this moment, the reluctance in her heart really emerged.
She suddenly felt reluctant to leave here!
He glanced at the villa again. He had been living here for a month!
"Okay, it's getting late, let's go quickly!"
Mrs. Lin patted Li Muhan's back with her hand.
Li Muhan stood up straight.
"Okay, then Aunt Lin, goodbye!"
After saying goodbye to Mrs. Lin, she and Gu Chengyan got into the car together.
