"Oh, I haven't seen you for a few days, Zhou Chen, you are getting more and more handsome, and our Miss Wang Ying, our skin has turned white after not seeing you for a few days."
After a few days, everyone was very happy to meet again, especially Xu Lin, who even teased Zhou Chen and Wang Ying.
She even winked teasingly at Wang Ying: "I've been living a shameless life with Zhou Chen these days. Just forget about us. I haven't even made a single phone call."
Even though Wang Ying was used to Xu Lin teasing her and Zhou Chen, her words were so straightforward that she still turned red and became angry.
"Xu Lin, don't even think about using my cosmetics again."
When Xu Lin heard this, he immediately became scared: "No, miss, I was wrong, I was wrong."
Xie Qiao said: "But Wang Ying, you are not in the dormitory these days. I really feel that something is missing and I feel very uncomfortable."
Xiao Qianxi also followed up and said: "Wang Ying, what you are talking about may be really serious. When Xiaozhou and I went to the hospital to see our aunt the day before yesterday, we saw several patients hospitalized with influenza. The hospital seemed to be very nervous.
Things may not be simple this time."
He Xiaozhou also nodded repeatedly, because he always goes to the hospital and many people in the hospital are talking about this, so he knows more than others.
Qin Chuan didn't want to talk about this, so he interrupted directly: "Okay, okay, what are you talking about? We finally got together to talk about something happy. Our pancake shop is being renovated and will open soon.
, you must all come to support me on the opening day, the pancakes and milk tea are enough."
Foodie Xu Lin was the first to respond: "No problem, I will definitely come on time. As long as the food and drink are free, I can do whatever I want."
Several other people also expressed that they would definitely go then, which made Qin Chuan very happy.
But at this moment, a person walked into the private room, and the smile on Qin Chuan's face disappeared instantly.
"Yang Cheng, why are you here? We didn't invite you."
Yang Cheng glanced at him coldly and snorted: "If you were to treat me, I wouldn't come."
He walked to Wang Ying and said, "Wang Ying, I heard that you don't go to school anymore?"
"Well, I haven't been there for a few days. Safety comes first."
Wang Ying replied, and then said to Qin Chuan: "Yang Cheng was invited by me, please calm down."
Qin Chuan snorted in displeasure. He was originally in a good mood, but when he saw Yang Cheng appear, his mood suddenly turned into a bad one.
Xie Qiao, who was sitting next to Qin Chuan, looked embarrassed at this time. Yang Cheng was her boyfriend, but it was Yang Cheng who was informed by Wang Ying.
Although this was a treat for Zhou Chen and Wang Ying, she still felt a little panicked.
However, Yang Cheng didn't notice her panic and came directly to sit next to her.
Xu Lin glanced around and suddenly became happy: "Speaking of which, it's been almost half a year since the last gathering for us people."
Wang Ying said: "Yes, the last time we all got together was for Qian Xi's birthday. A few months have passed in the blink of an eye. Time flies so fast."
"It's all thanks to you, Miss, this time. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't be able to get together. Let's toast Wang Ying and Zhou Chen first."
"Yes, respect them."
"cheers."
This is not the first time for everyone to get together. Except for Yang Cheng, who spends less time playing together, everyone else is seen with their heads down and their relationship is very good. Naturally, this wine table cannot be boring.
As everyone talked, they talked about the flu incident again. Now everyone can see that this matter is not simple, and they all understand the idea of ​​​​Wang Ying, Zhou Chen, and Yang Cheng not even going to school.
It's just that other people are different from them. School is not suspended, and they really haven't thought about going home.
After the dinner, Zhou Chen went to find He Xiaozhou.
"Qianxi, do you mind borrowing your Xiaozhou to say a few words?"
Of course Xiao Qianxi knew what Zhou Chen wanted to say to He Xiaozhou, and replied very happily: "Of course it's no problem, you guys talk, I'll go find Wang Ying."
"What's the matter, Zhou Chen, is there something wrong?" He Xiaozhou asked doubtfully.
Zhou Chen said: "You also know that I have been an exchange student in Beiqing for only two years. After this semester, I have to go back to complete my studies. How have you considered what I told you last time?"
"What's the matter?" He Xiaozhou didn't react for a moment.
"It's about studying abroad at Stanford University. I'm currently cooperating with Stanford University and I'm very familiar with the school leaders. As long as you pass the TOEFL and the Foreign Graduate Entrance Examination, I can arrange for you to go to Stanford University to study for a Ph.D.
Now, it’s no problem to stay in Beiqing and pursue graduate studies, but to be honest, at this point in time, there are more opportunities abroad than at home.”
"As for the laboratory I collaborate with at Stanford University, the research direction is related to biological sciences. If you go there to study abroad, you can also do an internship in the laboratory. It is really a good opportunity."
He Xiaozhou was very moved after hearing Zhou Chen's words. Before he even said he was going, Zhou Chen had already arranged a way for him. If he really does what Zhou Chen said, his future resume after graduation will definitely be very good.
"Zhou Chen, I know you are doing it for my own good, but..."
"I know what you want to say, but we are childhood friends, classmates, and even brothers. We should help each other. I also know your abilities. If I succeed in my studies in the future, I may even rely on you to help me make money.
, so we are doing this for mutual benefit, so don’t feel pressured.”
He Xiaozhou smiled bitterly and said: "I don't want to say this. Of course I understand who you are. I don't trust others. How could I not trust you? What I want to say is that I didn't consider studying abroad, mainly because of my mother.
Mom’s health is very bad, so she can’t live without people around her.”
Thinking of He Xiaozhou's mother's body, Zhou Chen also fell silent, because he knew that He Xiaozhou's mother would probably die soon.
"I've heard a little bit about my aunt's situation. I also know a lot of cancer experts abroad. In this way, when you go back, sort out your aunt's medical records and bring them to me, and I'll find foreign experts to help you ask.
There is no good treatment."
After hearing this, He Xiaozhou said excitedly: "Really? Zhou Chen, do you really know foreign oncologists?"
Zhou Chen said easily: "I am also a capitalist abroad. It is very simple to meet a few good doctors. You go back and sort it out. When you have sorted it out, call me and I will come and get it from you."
"Thank you, Zhou Chen. Thank you very much." He Xiaozhou grabbed Zhou Chen's hand and was extremely grateful.
Zhou Chen patted him: "There is no need to talk about this between us. I think you should discuss it with your uncle and aunt about studying abroad. After all, you can't make such a big decision alone."
He Xiaozhou was silent for a while, and finally nodded and said, "I will think about it carefully."
Of course he wants to go, but he has too many things to consider.
"That's it, you and Qianxi go back first, I'll wait for your call."
After the chat, Zhou Chen and Wang Ying said goodbye to He Xiaozhou and the others, and then went home.
On the way back, Wang Ying asked: "What did He Xiaozhou say?"
"It can be seen that he really wants to go, but his mother's illness makes him uneasy, so he hesitates."
"He Xiaozhou is indeed a filial son and a very good person. Like Qian Xi, it is not easy for him. His studying abroad is not difficult for you, right?"
Zhou Chen smiled confidently and said: "It's not difficult. Not only him. If you go to study abroad in the future, you can only go there with me."
Wang Ying said: "How do you know that I will definitely go to study abroad? Even if I go to study abroad, my parents will most likely arrange for me to go to the UK instead of the United States."
"That's absolutely impossible. I can't let you stay so far away from me. I won't worry if you're not with me. You go back and discuss it with your parents. You should go to Stanford. If that doesn't work, I'll go talk to my uncle and aunt. Anyway,
It is impossible for me to be separated from you."
"Then you are really overbearing. I didn't tell you in advance. Since you can get He Xiaozhou over, will you be able to help Qianxi in the future?"
Zhou Chen smiled and said: "Anyway, it's a help. It doesn't matter if I help one or both. If they feel bad about it then, just let them work for me for a while."
Wang Ying rolled her eyes: "Look at your current capitalist style. You are trying to squeeze others before they leave."
"How can I call this exploitation? If you work with me, I can still treat them badly."
"That's true."
It was early April, and Zhou Chen and Wang Ying still stayed at home most of the time.
On the weekend, Wang Ying was reading a book when she suddenly received a call from home and found Zhou Chen who was playing games next to her.
"Zhou Chen, my mother just called me and told us to go home for dinner tomorrow night."
"We, including me?" Zhou Chen pointed at himself.
Wang Ying nodded and said: "Well, my dad is free tonight. My mom said it was my dad who specially asked us to go back. I think my dad mainly wants to see you. After all, my mom and my uncle have met you.
My dad has never met you."
Zhou Chen stood up: "Hey, I'm going to meet my father-in-law. It seems I really need to be well prepared."
"What father-in-law you are, you can't talk nonsense when you come to my house."
After saying that, she realized something was wrong: "Hey, you agreed so simply? Are you not nervous at all when you go to my house to meet my parents?"
Zhou Chen said confidently: "What is there to be nervous about? Sooner or later, I have to meet my parents-in-law. It doesn't matter whether I meet my parents-in-law sooner or later. If I don't even have this courage, how can I possibly catch you, Miss Yingying?"
