Chapter 623: Meeting Qin Zhiyuan (2)
There was nothing Gu Qingyao could not say about this, thus she said, “I came from China and was specially approved to go overseas, so I’m attending school at a different time from you all. It’s fixed.”
Qin Si paused in her tracks. “Where… where did you say you were from?”
“China, our homeland!”
Qin Si was dumbfounded followed by an infinite surprise. “Rea… really? People can go overseas from China already? We can return now?”
She grabbed Gu Qingyao’s hand excitedly, her eyes filled with anticipation.
Gu Qingyao was taken aback, but she gradually understood the reason for her excitement.
It seemed like she was still very reminiscent of her family. The environment in China was more than incomparable to that of overseas in terms of comfort. Looking at the way she dressed, it could be easily seen that this lady’s family had been living very well overseas, and it was very rare for her to still miss her motherland!
“I’m indeed from China, but right now…, we still cannot go overseas freely. You all cannot return either, or there would be trouble. In short, the environment there is no different from when you all left.”
Qin Si’s eyes dimmed immediately, but there was still a slight ray of hope in them. “Why… why are you able to come then? We put in a lot of effort to go overseas back then, but we never dared to return all this while.”
Gu Qingyao said, “I was specially approved to study abroad. There are too few talents in this area in our homeland at this time, and there are no universities we can attend. Doctors care for everyone’s health and safety, and this profession is essential!
“Doctors are rare in the country, and there’s a severe shortage of various talents. Furthermore, there are no universities for people to attend, and there’s simply no good channels to nurture talents, so they specially approved a batch of people to study abroad.
“I study medicine. There are only two slots for medical studies, and I took one of them. We were selected after various training and examinations.”
Although Qin Si was very disappointed that there was still no freedom in the country and she still could not return, she was delighted that Gu Qingyao came from China and her excited hands grabbed Gu Qingyao’s tightly. “Can… can you tell me about the situation in China? We had no choice but to go overseas back then. There was too little time, and we were afraid of trouble, so we did not have time to fetch Grandpa and Grandma then. They are still in the country! I don’t even know how they are doing now. I… ah, can you come home with me, please? My father always wants to know the situation back in his hometown, even if it’s just a bit of information. Can you tell us about it?”
While they were overseas, it was not that they could not find out anything about it, but most of the information came from the national news. How could it be more reliable than Gu Qingyao, who personally experienced it?
Qin Si was very anxious, and without waiting for Gu Qingyao to reply, she immediately pulled her in the direction of her house.
“Please go home with me once! My father will definitely be extremely happy to see you.”
At this moment, Qin Si no longer behaved gently and quietly like a socialite and was instead running out of the school at top speed with Gu Qingyao in her hands. There was a car at the entrance ready to fetch her, and she quickly urged the driver to speed up once she got on. She pulled Gu Qingyao’s hand and dashed into the house once she entered the door.
“Father, Father. My classmate is from China. Father… Mother…”
There was no one in the living room, but Qin Si did not stop. She pulled Gu Qingyao up the stairs, taking two steps at once. Looking at her attitude, it seemed she would have taken three steps at once if she could!
Gu Qingyao was shocked by this lady’s anxiousness, but at the same time, she deeply respected people like her who were reminiscent of and cared about their closest relatives!
