Chapter 457 - 391 Really Off the Mark
"Big brother, let’s sit over there."
As soon as Qin Mei said that, Qin Yu nodded.
Anyway, does it matter where we sit?
There was a seat next to Song Pingping, "Qin Mei, sit here, sit with me."
Qin Mei looked around at the others, who were all sitting separated by gender, so she nodded.
Qin Yu wanted to sit with his sister, but since she preferred to sit with someone else, he had no choice but to find a seat in the front or back row closest to her.
Fortunately, they were lucky, there was still an empty seat behind their table.
"It’s such a coincidence, I didn’t expect you to be in my class, now we can go to school together." Song Pingping was really very happy.
"Sure." Qin Mei was quite happy too, having a friend in the class was a joyful thing.
Rong Yan didn’t know about this, as she had returned home.
"Why are you back so soon? Aren’t Yu and Meimei back yet? Don’t they have classes today?"
"Today, they had to get familiar with the classroom, receive new books, and clean up... They’ll probably start classes tomorrow."
"What time will they come home for lunch?" She needed to prepare lunch earlier so the kids could eat as soon as they got back.
"Probably around eleven!" Rong Yan guessed, as she wasn’t totally sure herself.
Upon hearing this, Madam Rong thought it was time to start getting ready and to cook early.
"By the way, are you also going to school to register tomorrow?"
"I’m going this afternoon." Actually, she could have gone today.
It wasn’t urgent, going over in the afternoon would be the same.
Hearing this, Madam Rong said, "How about, I go with you this afternoon?"
Her daughter was going to university! She had never been to a university before, especially not to Jing City University, so she was a bit eager.
Rong Yan initially wanted to refuse, but seeing the look in her mother’s eyes... she swallowed the words of refusal.
She nodded instead, "Okay!"
Madam Rong was overjoyed when her daughter agreed.
Suddenly, Rong Wenming walked out, "Yanyan, I’ll take you there too."
His day off was really well-timed.
Rong Yan: ...
Please, she wasn’t a child anymore, was there a need for both of them to take her?
"Yanyan, you wouldn’t dislike Dad taking you, right?" Rong Wenming looked at his daughter.
"...Not at all, let’s go then!" One person or two, it didn’t make much difference.
It wasn’t a big deal.
Rong Yan reassured herself with these thoughts internally.
The couple was very pleased.
They knew that they wouldn’t have many more chances to personally take their daughter to university.
Just then, Qin Ye returned home.
This surprised the three members of the Rong Family.
"Why have you come back?" asked Rong Yan.
He had just gone to work that morning, and it hadn’t been long before he returned.
Qin Ye calmly replied, "I had nothing to do at work today, I’ll take you to school this afternoon."
Rong Yan: ...
Was that really necessary? She wasn’t a giant baby.
Rong Wenming and his wife didn’t mind, for them, if their son-in-law wasn’t working, wasn’t it quite normal for him to take their daughter to university?
**
At noon, Qin Yu and Qin Mei came back home together.
Seeing the siblings, Madam Rong quickly asked, "Are you getting used to school? Are your classmates easy to get along with? Are the teachers nice?"
Rong Yan twitched her mouth at her mother’s series of questions.
Qin Yu: "Aunty, the school is very big and nice, the classmates are also easy to get along with, our teachers are pretty good too."
Qin Mei added, "Song Pingping is my deskmate, we are in the same class."
This surprised Rong Yan; it seemed that not letting Qin Mei go to seventh grade was the right decision.
Madam Rong was also quite happy to hear that there was a familiar Song Pingping as her deskmate.
"Let’s eat first! Oh, do you have to go back to school in the afternoon?"
Qin Yu and Qin Mei nodded together, "Right."
"Then don’t just stand there, hurry up and eat!" Madam Rong called her husband to go to the kitchen to serve the dishes.
The family had a complete gathering for lunch.
After finishing their meal, Qin Yu and Qin Mei didn’t stay long at home; they left for school after a short while.
Madam Rong quickly cleaned up the dishes and the kitchen.
When everything was done, she noticed a slight smell of sweat and cooking fumes on her, so she decided to take another bath and change her clothes. Once ready, she asked her daughter, "Ready to go?"
Rong Yan hadn’t expected that in just such a short time, her mother had even taken a shower and changed clothes.
Her lips twitched involuntarily.
It seemed that her mother took her going to university admission rather seriously. If she remembered correctly, this new outfit seemed to be one that had never been worn since it was bought. Could it be specifically for today?
"...we can head out now. By the way, where’s dad? Didn’t he say he was going with us? How come I don’t see him around?"
Madam Rong was about to speak, when Rong Wenming came out, "I’m here."
Rong Yan saw him: ...
So the reason she hadn’t seen him was also because he went to shower and change clothes?
Oh, come on.
"Where’s the son-in-law?" Rong Wenming looked around.
Then Qin Ye appeared as well.
Rong Yan noticed he too had bathed and changed clothes.
Now the corner of her mouth really twitched quite intensely.
What were they trying to do?
It’s just going to the university to report.
Did they really need to go this far?
Utter speechlessness.
Turns out, the most normal one was her!
"...Let’s go!"
If they didn’t leave now, there’s no telling what kind of tricks these three would pull next.
"Okay," Madam Rong happily walked out, "Old Rong, you lock up the house last."
Rong Wenming, hearing his father’s words, quickly responded, "Okay."
As soon as they stepped out, they saw a car driving toward them.
Madam Rong with her sharp eyes, "Doesn’t that car look like Qin Zhen’s?"
Rong Yan: ...
Confidently remove the ’look like’ words.
It’s Qin Zhen.
What is he doing here? It can’t be what she was thinking, right?
Just then, the car stopped in front of them.
Qin Zhen poked his head out, "Looks like I’ve come at just the right time, are you guys heading to Jing City University?"
Madam Rong hurriedly nodded, "Yes."
Qin Zhen immediately said, "What a coincidence, I’m also going to that university. Hurry up, get in the car."
Rong Yan: ...
I trust you, ghost.
You’re not from Jing City University, what coincidence?
"Aunt, come on, get in the car." Seeing them hesitating, Qin Zhen urged them again.
"Are you really going to Jing City University?" Madam Rong asked suspiciously.
"Yeah! I just have something to do. Aunt, please get in the car! Even if I didn’t have to, driving you guys there is only proper. It isn’t much out of the way."
Having said that, it was hard for Madam Rong not to get in, but she still looked at her daughter.
Rong Yan: ...
The car’s here. Can we not get in?
"Get in."
With that said, they all hurriedly got into the car.
Rong Wenming sat in the passenger seat.
Rong Yan, Qin Ye, and Madam Rong occupied the back seats.
Sitting in the middle, Rong Yan’s feelings were extremely mixed.
She hadn’t expected to receive this kind of treatment.
