"Sigh, it's finally quiet." Hao Lianlian sighed with relief as they switched to the sleeper car.
Then she clasped her hands together and said, "Heavens above, please don't let her be in our major or class."
Being in the same major or class with someone so peculiar would drive anyone to frustration and despair.
"What are the chances of such bad luck?" Gu Lingling said with a smile.
However, Yang Yunhai frowned and thought for a moment.
Qin City is not too far from the Capital City, but there are only those green trains, which take more than ten hours, although luckily, the train they took departed in the afternoon and would arrive in the Capital City by the next noon.
They had quite a bit of stuff to carry, and Gu Chunhai was the one who helped them onto the train; when they got off, it was mainly Yang Yunhai carrying Gu Lingling's and Hao Lianlian's large bags.
He had a tall and strong build, and thanks to his years of training, he could easily lift the stuff, even shielding Gu Lingling with his body to prevent anyone from bumping into her.
At the exit, they saw Wang Shuyun and two guards waiting for them, and when she saw Gu Lingling, Wang Shuyun waved at her happily.
She didn't notice her son, who was acting as a porter at all.
"Lingling, you're finally here." Wang Shuyun said with a smile, "How are you? Tired? Hungry?"
With all her questions and concern, not even a glance was given to her own son.
Poor Yang Yunhai, "..."
"Let's go, let's head home first." Wang Shuyun then turned to Hao Lianlian and Zhao Xuefei and said, "Welcome to the Capital City."
"Aunt, we'll just go straight to the university." Hao Lianlian waved her hand and said.
"Come home first, the car is ready," Wang Shuyun said, "and you can go register with Lingling in the afternoon."
"Let's go." Yang Yunhai, who had been ignored all this time, said as he carried the bags, "We'll go to the school after we've eaten."
In the end, Hao Lianlian and Zhao Xuefei got in the car and went to the Wang Family's military zone with Gu Lingling.
Zheng Xiangjun and Wang Fangyi had been waiting at home, and they were very happy to see them come in.
Kyoto University isn't easy to get into, and all three kids made it, which promises a bright future.
"They're all good kids." Wang Fangyi said with a smile.
Knowing their train schedule, the elderly couple hadn't eaten and had prepared a table full of dishes waiting for them.
Initially, Hao Lianlian and Zhao Xuefei felt a bit uneasy, but gradually they relaxed.
After the meal, they let the two take a rest first, while Zheng Xiangjun and Wang Shuyun eagerly took Gu Lingling to see her room.
"We tidied it up together, not sure if you like it. Check it out and let us know if there's anything you dislike, or you can arrange it yourself." Zheng Xiangjun said lovingly.
Since the two got engaged, Gu Lingling and Yang Yunhai had changed how they addressed them.
"Thank you." Gu Lingling's eyes were a bit misty.
The room was like a dreamy princess chamber, full of romantic charm, with cute pink everywhere — pink floral curtains, pink sheets, and an adorable plush doll on the bed.
In this life and the last, she had never lived in such a pink room.
It made her feel like she was a princess, a cherished baby princess they wanted to hold dear and care for.
"Why is this child crying again?" Wang Shuyun was a bit at a loss seeing her in tears.
This was the second time Gu Lingling inexplicably cried.
The first time was at the department store in Qin City.
"I just... I just feel so happy." Gu Lingling sobbed as she wiped her tears away.
Poor child.
Wang Shuyun hugged her tenderly, "Silly girl, stop crying."
"I don't have a daughter, and now I finally do, so of course, I'd dote on her." Wang Shuyun said with a laugh, "As for your grandmother, don't be fooled — even though your Aunt and I are girls, we were tomboys growing up."
It was Wang Shuyun's first time arranging such a pink room.
"You don't know how much I envied your Aunt for having two little darlings, but now I'm content. I have one too, and I won't envy her anymore."
Gu Lingling broke into a smile through her tears.
"Grandma, Mom." Gu Lingling hugged them back, "Thank you."
