After He Lin got off work, he learned that Yu Lian had not gone home, so he immediately rode his bicycle to the school to look for her.

However, he did not get a definite answer. Fortunately, he asked his leader and learned that the group had gone to the suburbs for fieldwork and should have returned by now.

He Lin rushed home without stopping, afraid of missing the call.

Ning Su communicated with the front desk of the guesthouse, and after Yu Lian received the call, she made a call to the factory.

Li Ying has already been notified by the communications office.

But I still couldn't help but tremble; how terrifying a car accident is.

She was afraid her grandchildren would be frightened if they heard about it, so she asked her husband to keep it a secret.

She stood downstairs anxiously waiting for her son to return.

It was just getting dark when Li Ying spotted a person pushing a bicycle in the distance and jogged over, unsure of what was going on.

"Is that you, son?"

"Mom, is Yu Lian back?"

Li Ying was getting anxious. "What do you suggest we do? Yu Lian just called your factory's communications office and said she was in a car accident on the road and her bus broke down, so she won't be back until tomorrow."

"She's injured!?"

"No, no, I'm not injured, but I feel my heart is beating fast."

After confirming the exact location, He Lin handed the bicycle to his mother and said, "Mom, you go back first. I'll bring Yu Lian back in a bit."

"Drive carefully!"

Watching her son leave quickly, Li Ying finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"That silly kid actually knows what's good for him."

Li Ying had already prepared a slap; if he dared to go back and ignore his wife, she would teach him a lesson today.

If their daughter hadn't secretly told them, their marriage would have been on the verge of collapse and existed in name only.

She will probably remain in the dark forever.

She's at an age where she should be enjoying her retirement, yet she still has to worry about her son's marriage. Li Ying shook her head helplessly and pushed her bicycle back home.

Here, He Lin borrowed a car.

He immediately drove to the suburbs without stopping for a moment; in his haste, he naturally drove much faster.

Fortunately, it was nighttime and there were almost no people on the road, so he arrived at the town's guesthouse without incident.

It was only a little past half a night. Everyone had their own room. Yu Lian had just finished washing up and was sitting on the edge of the bed reading a book.

Suddenly, there was a noise at the door, accompanied by the sound of a lock screw turning.

"Who?"

It's still early, and many people are still awake. She can hear her senior and teacher next door whenever she calls out.

"I am He Lin."

While breathing a sigh of relief, Yu Lian was surprised that she had come here.

"Why are you here?"

He Lin had no interest in answering his question. He grabbed her hand and carefully checked her body for any wounds.

"It's good that you're not hurt, it's good that you're not hurt..."

He murmured softly, which startled Yu Lian.

"You thought I was injured?"

"Mom said you were in a car accident. I went to the school but couldn't find you. I'm very worried."

He made no attempt to hide his worry, and Yu Lian felt a mix of emotions she couldn't quite describe.

He gave a faint "oh".

"Let's go, I drove here, let's go back."

"it is good."

Yu Lian thought she would have to make do today. The guesthouse was in poor condition, and she would rather spend an hour traveling home than make do here.

"Wait, let me ask my teacher if I'm going back."

"Okay, give me the bag."

He took the handbag from her and then stood quietly to the side, watching her knock on the door to negotiate.

"Teacher Shi, are you two going back? My wife has brought the car over, she can take us back."

After she said those words, neither the teacher nor the student could recover until they got on the bus.

They always thought Yu Lian was only around twenty years old.

But she just said she already has four children.

It doesn't look like it at all.

The car was quiet. After exchanging brief greetings, He Lin drove quietly.

Yu Lian sat in the passenger seat, and after asking for the address, she only occasionally answered the teacher's questions.

"How old is the older child?"

"She's almost seven years old and in first grade."

So, she got married very young and was only in her early twenties when she had her child.

"I really can't tell, I thought you were only around twenty."

"I'll take that as a compliment on my youth."

The next second, Shi Aiguo changed the subject and asked about He Lin.

Where does your spouse work?

Yu Lian glanced sideways at He Lin and saw him slightly raise his chin, probably wanting her to answer.

He works as an engineer at FAW.

Shi Aiguo understood, thinking to himself that, indeed, outstanding people will eventually end up together with other outstanding people.

"It seems you two have a good relationship, being able to have four children."

These words made Yu Lian cough awkwardly twice.

"Haha... thank goodness. Teacher Shi, here you go, this is my homework, please take a look at this."

Yu Lian wanted to change the subject immediately.

She thought the transition was natural, but to others it had a different flavor.

Ning Su noticed the unusual nature of the couple and also saw Yu Lian's embarrassment earlier, but a smart person would know that such things should not be pointed out.

"Let me see."

The car was very dark, and Yu Lian took a flashlight from somewhere and handed it over.

After looking at it for a while, Shi Aiguo was very satisfied, but in order to prevent the students from becoming arrogant and complacent, he said expressionlessly, "It's alright. Next time, make some improvements on the parts that I circled that I didn't measure carefully, and make sure to write down the mistakes."

"Okay, I've got it."

He Lin barely spoke, but Yu Lian was used to it and knew that this was just his personality.

However, after a while, the two people in the back row also sensed that something was wrong.

He Lin not only doesn't like to talk, but it seems like he has a problem with the old man and the young man.

Yu Lian offered to take them home first, but He Lin said it was inconvenient.

The two, naturally adept at reading people's expressions, immediately said they would get off at the next stop.

"No, how are you going to carry over a hundred pounds of medicinal herbs back?"

"We'll wait a bit and then make the late-night snack line."

The late-night snack service starts at 11 p.m., and it's only a little past 10 p.m. now.

"He Lin, is there something inconvenient?"

"The car isn't mine."

Yu Lian felt that He Lin was beating around the bush, "Of course I know it's not yours, what's another half hour?"

"Difference."

Seeing that he was being so disrespectful to her, Yu Lian's temper flared up as well.

"Alright, thank you for your help today."

The moment the car stopped at the side of the platform, Yu Lian got off as well.

It wasn't just about going down to help carry things; it was about not intending to get back in the car after getting down.

"You go back first, I'll go back by myself after I see the teacher off."

Leaving those words behind, Yu Lian walked towards the two without turning her head.

Sitting in the driver's seat, He Lin took a deep breath, clenched his fists tightly, and his knuckles gradually lost their color.

The next second, he suddenly slapped his own cheek.

Then he stepped on the gas and the car sped away.

Upon hearing the car start, the master and apprentice exchanged a glance, their expressions grim.
