Ever since Su Jingsong approached Xinyan privately, she made up her mind to carefully nurse her father’s health back to good condition.
The space definitely cannot be exposed, which is why she wants to apprentice herself to Mr. Du. At least in the future, no matter what she does, she will have a valid reason.
Her memory is astonishing now, so even if she spends time learning medicine with Mr. Du, there won’t be too much pressure; after all, the more skills, the better.
She had already planned this: she can study medicine and study it thoroughly, but she doesn’t want to pursue it as a career — she feels this profession is too taxing, both physically and mentally.
Han Jingchen stood up holding two ginseng plants: "Well then, thank you, Yanyan. Dad will go find a box now."
He Jinxuan came out from the room at this moment: "Yanyan, do you need help packing?"
Xinyan shook her head at him: "No, you can continue with what you’re doing."
He Jinxuan nodded, recalling when they returned, Aunt Chen had told them she would prepare some food for Xinyan to take to school. Now’s a good chance to see if he can assist: "Alright, I’ll check the kitchen to see if there’s anything I can help with."
Actually, he also wanted to leave some space for Xinyan and Han Jingchen to spend time as father and daughter.
When Xinyan had mostly finished packing, she heard the telephone ringing in the living room.
Not long after, she heard He Jinxuan knocking on the door: "Yanyan, a call from Cousin Zhenling."
Xinyan put down the items she was holding and headed outside: "I’ll be right there."
She took the receiver from Jinxuan’s hand: "Hello, Lingling, why the call?"
Sun Zhenling laughed on the other end of the line: "Cousin, are you going to register at school tomorrow?"
Xinyan softly said "Mm": "What’s up?"
Sun Zhenling coughed lightly: "Cousin, I want to come to send you off, would that be okay?"
Xinyan laughed: "Don’t you have work tomorrow?"
Sun Zhenling replied with a laugh: "Cousin, I’ve rearranged my day off."
Having said that, what more could she say: "Alright, see you at the school gate tomorrow. No need to come all the way here."
On the other end, Sun Zhenling jumped up excitedly: "Okay, Cousin, see you tomorrow."
After saying that, she hung up the phone directly.
Xinyan didn’t know that, after hanging up the call, Sun Zhenling was surrounded by a group of people: "Zhenling, your cousin is truly amazing."
"Of course, that’s my cousin, she’s the top science student; others can only envy."
"Tomorrow, you’ll also get to follow her into Jing University; I’m really envious of you."
"My cousin said before, I can go visit her later."
"Zhenling, I heard the campus of Jing University is quite large; you better explore well tomorrow, and tell us about it when you get back."
"I definitely will."

Early the next morning after breakfast, Sister Chen packed the meat sauce and chili sauce she made yesterday, along with the eight-treasure pickles she had previously pickled, into a jar, and handed it to He Jinxuan: "Make sure these are kept safe and aren’t bumped."
He Jinxuan had already placed Xinyan’s luggage in the car and took the net bag: "Aunt Chen, rest assured, we’ve reserved space for them."
Xinyan came out from the house, and Sister Chen said with some reluctance: "Xinyan, come back on the weekend; Aunt will make you some delicious food."
Han Jingchen looked at his watch: "Time’s about right, let’s go."
Su Jingsong had other arrangements today, and He Jinxuan directly took the driver’s seat.
With few cars on the road in these days, traffic jams weren’t a concern. As they neared the school, Xinyan asked He Jinxuan to stop the car, not wanting to attract unnecessary trouble.
Han Jingchen and He Jinxuan naturally had no objections.
After getting off, He Jinxuan carried the quilt and suitcase, Han Jingchen took two net bags, and Xinyan had her side sling bag and the food Aunt Chen prepared, as they walked towards the school together.
From afar, they could see Sun Zhenling waiting at the gate.
Sun Zhenling spotted them too and quickly ran over: "Uncle, Cousin, Brother He."
Xinyan smiled at her: "How long have you been here?"
Sun Zhenling took the things from Xinyan’s hand: "Not too long ago."
Chatting along the way, they entered the school together.
