Xie Junpingâs question suddenly pulled the excited Chen Chen and Chen Miao back to reality.
"Oh, I almost forgot, Chuyi, once you finish your studies, youâre going back home..." Chen Miao suddenly became sentimental.
"Yeah, Junior Sister Xia is leaving, and after that, we wonât be able to enjoy authentic Chinese food anymore." Chen Chen was also quite saddened.
"All you think about is eating!" Chen Miao glared at him.
Unwilling to back down, Chen Chen retorted to Chen Miao, "Donât you miss Junior Sister Xiaâs cooking?"
"You... you have a point." Chen Miao suddenly said with a hint of grievance, then pulled Xia Chuyi and said, "If you go back, what will happen to WEI?"
In response, Xia Chuyi said, "The things at WEI are standardized and donât need my presence."
"Iâve already entrusted everything there to Scarlett." Xia Chuyi continued, "Moreover, Mr. Rayneâs family will also help me look after WEI."
In short, Xia Chuyi was well-prepared for her return home.
"Sigh..." Chen Miao and Chen Chen lamented together.
Xie Junping, however, said, "Whatâs there to sigh about? Weâll be heading back in half a year too."
Hearing this, both Chen Chen and Chen Miao agreed, "Youâre right!"
And they were cheerful again.
Since Xia Chuyi was about to return home, everyone decided to have a gathering at her apartment.
No matter how thick-skinned he was, Li Mingzhi felt it inappropriate to join them uninvited, so he said, "You guys go ahead; Iâve got some things to attend to."
Everyone was quite used to this.
After all, everyone knew that Xia Chuyi didnât particularly like Li Mingzhi.
After they arrived at the apartment Xia Chuyi was renting and had a hearty meal, they started talking about going back home.
"So when you return home, are you graduating directly?" Chen Miao asked Xia Chuyi.
"Kind of," Xia Chuyi replied, "but I still need to participate in the exams for the second semester of senior year."
As for her thesis, the school acknowledged the one she wrote at NYU.
"So Chuyi, youâll be graduating then?" Chen Chen suddenly exclaimed, "Oh, Iâm so jealous!"
"I really want to graduate soon too!" Having had a bit of alcohol, Chen Chen slapped the table, stood up with great enthusiasm, and declared, "Once I graduate, I will dedicate the knowledge Iâve acquired to my beloved country!"
"Yeah, I want to graduate too!" Upon hearing Chen Chen, Chen Miao also said, "Once I graduate, I can put what Iâve learned to good use and spread my wings!" Chen Chen and Chen Miao chimed in, discussing their future plans.
For a moment, the two completely stole the scene, leaving Xia Chuyi aside.
Watching this scene, Xia Chuyi couldnât help but smile.
Itâs quite interesting, Chen Chen and Chen Miao didnât know when, but amidst their constant bickering, they surprisingly became a couple.
At this moment, even Xie Junping couldnât help but shake his head.
"Oh right, Junior Sister Xia," Xie Junping suddenly asked, "Have you set a specific date for your return?"
Upon hearing this, Xia Chuyi nodded and said, "The schedule is already set, itâs on..."
Wait!
Just as Xia Chuyi was about to reveal her return date, she paused and suddenly said, "Senior Brother Xie, you donât plan to leak it again, do you?"
"Huh?" Xie Junping was slightly taken aback, then he reacted, touched his nose, and said, "Junior Sister, you know?"
Xia Chuyi nodded and said to Xie Junping, "I guessed it."
What they were referring to was naturally about Huo Shiqian previously coming to the United States.
Actually, Huo Shiqianâs military duties at home were quite busy, and there was no need for him to come to the United States.
