At Cheng Mei's repeated requests, He Lin watched her finish her meal, packed up her lunchbox, and then left the hospital.
After everyone left, Cheng Mei explained, "This child is thoughtful and has a cold exterior but a warm heart. There were some changes in his family, but he is genuinely intelligent and capable. In all the years since Yunnan University was founded, he is the first student personally selected by the president to stay on."
"Huh? You haven't even started working after leaving school yet?" Wang Meixia exclaimed in surprise.
In Cheng Mei's view, her son's current situation is worse than him staying in school forever. "I think it's better for him to stay in school. The school pays him twice as much as outside jobs every month, and I just don't want him to leave."
"So many? That's several times more than the amount of an average worker, isn't it?"
"It's more than that, five or six times. But this child comes from a special family and needs to support his family."
In an instant, Wang Meixia's opinion of He Lin changed. She had thought he was some eccentric child, but it turned out it was due to family issues.
"Oh? Auntie, what happened to his family?"
Seeing her mother gossiping about other people's family affairs, Yu Lian quickly stopped her: "Mom, I haven't had breakfast yet."
Wang Meixia jumped up: "Oh dear, I completely forgot. Wait a minute, I'll be right there."
I successfully changed the subject and got my mother away.
"I'm sorry, Mother-in-law, my mother can sometimes be overly enthusiastic and lack a sense of propriety. You can ignore her or just let it go."
The more Cheng Mei spent with Yu Lian, the more she liked the girl.
"Okay, it's not like there's anything I can't say."
After waiting a while, Wang Meixia returned. Yu Lian was able to eat her breakfast smoothly.
Wang Meixia had to attend classes in the afternoon, so Xu Fang's mother helped deliver her lunch.
"Take care of yourself. I've already told the nurses everything to you. Just call them if anything comes up."
"You can go to class without worrying about me."
After her mother left, the ward became much quieter. Cheng Mei had basically recovered; her current hospitalization was for monitoring her vital signs. She proactively asked, "You like reading, don't you?"
The curtain between the two was drawn back.
"Actually, I wouldn't say I like it that much, but sometimes I feel like my head is empty and I need to fill it with something."
"You're too modest. I see the pile of books on your desk are all gifts from your family that you've already read. You love literature, so why did you join the army?"
Looking back on herself at that time, Yu Lian felt that she might have been impulsive and hot-blooded.
"Influenced by my family, my friends also went. At the time, I didn't have any grand ambitions; I just went with the army. Plus, someone in my family was already in the military, so it was easy to pass the test."
This question left Cheng Mei speechless for a long time. Yu Lian was engrossed in her book and didn't notice the change in her expression just now.
Four o'clock in the afternoon.
After the report meeting at school ended, Teacher Xian rushed to the hospital. Upon entering, she greeted Yu Lian warmly, "Hello, Comrade Yu!"
"Hello, Teacher Xian, are you done with your work?"

"Yes, I'm done. Old woman, look what this is?"
As soon as he came in, Teacher Xian put his hands behind his back and suddenly pulled out a very large red certificate. Inside, there were two large characters—Teacher Xian's name, "Xian Mingyu".
"You old man, how can you still lie and deceive people?" Chengmei couldn't understand why her husband was lying.
"I wanted to give you a surprise, didn't I? It's all thanks to He Lin joining us. If it weren't for him, I might have been stuck in the lab for the rest of my life."
Teacher Xian emphasized the importance of He Lin.
"Um, can I push you outside for some fresh air?"
Upon hearing that her husband wanted to talk alone, Chengmei agreed.
"Xiao Yu, let's go out. What do you like to eat? I'll bring some back for you."
"Please don't be shy, don't mind me."
Cheng Mei nodded without saying much, planning to buy some food that young girls like later.
Teacher Xian pushed her husband downstairs. The two chatted for a while in an open, secluded spot.
"What are you trying to say by going through all that trouble to get me down?"
"I didn't mean to say anything, just wanted to ask what you think of Xiaoyu as a girl?"
As soon as her husband spoke, Chengmei knew what he meant. She waved her hand in disappointment: "It's not that I don't support you, but it's not good to force a couple."
"I'm not just forcing it. I'm 100% sure He Lin likes her. Do you know what he said when I asked him yesterday if he liked Xiao Yu?"
"like?"
"No, he told me he didn't know. Do you think someone like him would tell me he didn't know? These two kids are such a perfect match. If they get together, it would be a dream come true for me."
Cheng Mei gasped, looking troubled. "I like Xiao Yu too. But her family is a military family, and the He family's social standing is what it is. Do you think she'll pass the political vetting?"
Teacher Xian had already considered this problem beforehand: "Don't worry, although this problem is difficult, it's not unsolvable. Nothing is difficult if you put your mind to it. I'll solve it."
Cheng Mei was too weak to get involved in this matter, so she waved her hand and went with her husband.
After half an hour.
Yu Lian looked at the bags of snacks and fruit on the bedside table: "Teacher Xian, I can't finish them all, you can take some back with you."
However, Yu Lian's opinion was useless, and in the end, they were all left on the cabinet within her reach.
"Xiaoyu, do you have a boyfriend?"
"Oh, no. I'm not thinking about that right now; my job situation isn't stable yet."
Teacher Xian wasn't surprised by the result—with such good qualities and such beauty, he could find plenty if he really wanted to. Teacher Xian didn't ask any further questions. The chances were slim, but he didn't want to give up.
the next day.
After Cheng Mei's test results stabilized, Teacher Xian packed her bags to prepare for discharge. Halfway through packing, He Lin arrived, bringing his younger sister with him.
Cheng Mei has been hospitalized for some time. She had a near-death experience this time and stayed for a long time. She brought a lot of things from home, which the two elderly people couldn't carry, so He Lin called his sister to come as well.
Upon seeing Yu Lian, He Xinglan was so happy she almost cried out, "Sister! You're here too? What a coincidence!"
"Shut up, you're making noise."
After being "scolded" by her brother, He Xinglan reluctantly shut her mouth. She turned to Wang Meixia and asked, "Auntie, you're my sister's mother, right?"
Wang Meixia nodded: "Little girl, how did you figure that out?"
"Because you two look alike, and are equally beautiful."
One sentence made Wang Meixia overjoyed.
"Are you two siblings?"
This question not only made He Xinglan laugh, but also the elderly couple tidying up inside. Cheng Mei explained, "They are indeed siblings. I don't know how they raised them. When I first met Xinglan, I thought she was a relative's child."
"Auntie, my brother is the eldest, so he takes on more responsibility. As for me, I'm the youngest in the family..."
He Xinglan didn't say the rest aloud, but everyone understood.
Wang Meixia suddenly felt sorry for He Lin—he was about the same age as her own child, and instead of enjoying his youth, he was burdened with pressure from his family and society. It was impossible for him to be cheerful.
With the help of the siblings, the things were packed quickly. Before leaving, Wang Meixia found He Xinglan and whispered something to her.
He Xinglan smiled and agreed.
Back in the ward, Yu Lian asked about it. Wang Meixia replied mysteriously, "You'll find out in a couple of days."
