Part Three, Chapter 8: University Enrollment

.”The father and daughter continued the topic they had been interrupted on earlier."When did you find out" Dad asked."When it was discovered doesn't matter, what matters is how you plan to solve it."R...Chen Ling naturally refused to take his money back, "Uncle, no need, I will apply for a student loan from the school." 。And the 3000 you gave me before, I haven't touched it yet, it's enough. 。"

Song Jingye didn't want to waste time talking to her about this. He was brief and to the point, “I’m borrowing it from you now, I’ll return it later.” 。"Knowing her character, she probably wouldn't easily use his money. But having some cash on hand when you're out and about can be useful for self-defense." 。It's okay, you can go back now. 。He finished speaking and dismissed his guests. 。Chen Ninghui walked out with the bank card in hand. Even though she felt a million reluctant feelings, she didn't show any of them. She had taken two steps outside when a voice suddenly called her name from behind: "Chen Ninghui" 。He doesn't call her Xiaoning like everyone else in the army does. He calls her by her full name, and though it sounds strange, she finds it oddly endearing and warm. 。She stopped, turned to look at him, her heart filled with an insatiable greed, wanting to imprint every detail of him into her memory. 。After school, study hard and don't think about anything else. 。 。He simply said 。Please download the latest content from the novel A Love to Read

During summer and winter vacations, you can come back here. Implying that she should consider this her home and can come back anytime 。Uncle 。Chen Ling let out a soft cry, her voice trembling. 。Song Jingye looked up at her, waiting for her to continue. 。"Can I hug you" This time, the embrace wasn't like the excited one after hearing her grades. This hug held something more, a hidden tenderness from her beyond just familial affection. 。

"No" 。Song Jingye directly refused. What was he doing, holding and embracing a little girl in his own office If he wanted to have a good image, he had to be upright and proper. That's the most basic thing. 。Chen Ning didn't have high hopes for a return on his investment, and when he refused, she wasn't sad. She just felt a little melancholy and regretful. She said thank you, Uncle, and then left. 。Chen Ning hadn't slept well all night because she didn't know when Song Jingyan would leave for the border defense. So she stayed by the window, quietly watching the training ground outside. 。At three o'clock in the morning, the sky was still full of stars. A whistle blew on the training ground, and dozens of black shadows filed out of the dormitory building, running to the track and forming three straight lines. 。The person at the front, going through the names one by one, was indistinct in features, but their voice, commanding and powerful, came in waves, striking her eardrums. 。They moved swiftly, assembling quickly, like phantoms, agilely climbing into the military truck and heading towards the border camp. 。Chen Ling's heart was filled with a profound sense of loss. She rushed downstairs, flung open the gate of the family courtyard, and ran out without any destination in mind, just to steal one more glance at him. 。

The outskirts of the small town were surprisingly quiet. It was the pre-dawn darkness, and the stars in the sky were gradually fading. She could only make out his outline and side profile under the car lights. In her heart, she silently said goodbye, "See you again during the winter break." 。But she didn't know that for many years to come, this would be her only way, silently watching his back or profile, silently saying goodbye in her heart. 。The day she reported to university and Zheng Ke reported to the fire department was a coincidence, the same day. 。Zheng Ke was speechless to himself, annoyed and said: "Xiao Ning, I'm really sorry, I forgot the date. The leaders are waiting for me to report there, and I can't change the time." 。"He should have arranged for a friend to bring her in advance because of her special experience. He wasn't comfortable not personally escorting her into school, especially since before coming to Beijing, Song Jingye had sent him messages from the border station stressing the need to ensure her safe arrival at school." 。"It's fine, the school has arranged a senior to pick me up." 。。"The fire department can wait, her safety is more important." 。Chen Ling didn't dare to delay. Luckily, she got in touch with her senior sister who was coming to pick her up. She hurried over and waved at her senior sister. 。The senior sister warmly took her luggage and led her to the school bus parked nearby. 。Before getting on the bus, Zheng Ke was very cautious, "Please show me your student ID." 。"

The senior sister was stunned, looking at Chen Ning with a question mark on her face.

Chen Ning also froze, knowing that he was concerned for her safety. She felt a touch of warmth and embarrassment, it wasn't necessary >" 。"No, no need. I'm your senior sister. I've already gotten on the car. You go busy yourself." 。After confirming that it was their school's car, Zheng Ke said: "I'll go to the unit to report first. Give me a call or WeChat if anything happens." 。OK. 。"When Zheng Ke yi left, the senior student said: 'Your brother is so handsome, is he a soldier'Soldiers have a different temperament from others." 。

Chen Ling nodded awkwardly. 。"Big brother You don't look anything alike." 。”

“不是。She gave evasive answers, subconsciously wanting to keep her true relationship with them a secret, or perhaps subconsciously trying to avoid her past experiences. 。From the mountains of the northwest to Beijing, from here on out, was her true rebirth. She didn't want to be labeled. 。With the help of my senior, I went through all the enrollment procedures smoothly after entering the school. 。The affiliated hospital is not as bustling as other universities. Even during the opening season, the campus has a feeling of tranquility and spaciousness. The slogans everywhere reveal the depth of this college. Being here naturally evokes a sense of honor and pride. 。She took a picture of the stone tablet inscribed with the words "China's Foreign x Official Cradle" and sent it to Song Jingye, just wanting to share the excitement she felt at this moment. 。But maybe the signal at the border station is bad, and I haven't heard back from him for a long time. 。Beside the

, there were a few freshmen happily taking pictures with their parents. A thin young man walked over and politely said, "Excuse me classmates, could you please take a picture of us" The young man pointed to himself and his parents behind him. 。

"Can" 。"Chen Ling took back his phone" 。The boy stood beside his parents in front of the tombstone, putting his arm around his mother's shoulders and making a scissor-hands gesture. He looked youthful and innocent. 。Chen Ling shot a few pictures in succession and handed him her phone. 。"Thank you, thank you" 。People gradually walked away, leaving her alone here. She still hadn't received a reply from Song Jingye, so she turned and went back to the dormitory. 。"Classmate, wait a moment" 。Someone called her, the boy who had just asked her to take a picture ran towards her. He was tall and thin. 。"Are you a freshman too" the boy asked. 。"Yes" 。"I am too. My name is Xu Haocheng, and I'm from the International Affairs department." 。Xu Haichen gave a graceful and composed self-introduction. 。"Hello, Chen Ling " 。She politely responded, without saying that they were in the same department. 。"Thank you again, the photos turned out great." 。Chen Ning was not good at interacting with unfamiliar people. At this moment, her heart was not in it as she waited for Song Jingye's reply, and she silently sighed in her heart. She missed him so much. 。At the junction of the men's and women's dormitory, "See you tonight, Chen Ning," 。The academy has a welcome party in the evening. 。At that moment, her phone just lit up, and she smiled, even though the other party only replied with a thumbs-up. 。See you tonight. 。She said 。

She could laugh, Xu Haocheng thought. 。 wouldn't pour him a drink, and instead took another sip herself. 。The water had just entered his mouth, before he could swallow it, he smiled gently and pulled her closer:"Drink yours" 。"The speed wa...
