Chapter 696: Untitled
As time gradually passed, winter break arrived for Gu Qingjiu.
The very first thing she did when winter break started, was, of course, to go back and visit her parents.
This year her older brother was in the States and wouldn’t be returning, so it was quite lonely at home. As such, she had to go back to accompany her parents first. historical
She had agreed with Helian Niancheng on when to go back to Penalan.
After Gu Qingjiu took a flight back home, she didn’t quite dare to tell Qi Yuefeng about her impending visit to Penalan.
After all, who knew what would happen after they met.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe merely told Qi Yuefeng that she would make a trip to Penalan before Chinese New Year and would rush back before the Chinese New Year.
“Penalan?”
Qi Yuefeng was shocked.
She knew what sort of country Penalan was, so when she heard this, it occurred to her that something was amiss. “Isn’t it quite difficult to go to Penalan? Is your school organizing an activity there?”
“Mm, mm, mm...”
That was a good excuse she helped Gu Qingjiu come up with.
Gu Qingjiu played along vaguely.
Qi Yuefeng nodded, feeling heartened. “You’re doing well in school now, huh, to be getting all these opportunities to go overseas. But when the time comes for you to go there, see if you can route your way to your brother’s. Mom will pay for the additional fees. I wonder how your brother is doing in the US all by himself. And he can’t even come back for Chinese New Year. If you can keep him company, it’s fine even if you spend Chinese New Year in the US. Just make sure you return home before the 15th day of Chinese New Year.”
Qi Yuefeng also missed Gu Qingmo, who was in America.
The moment Gu Qingmo went over, he was kept busy with work.
Moreover, with the time difference between the two countries, when Gu Qingmo called home, it would often be very late.
And he could only speak for a short while before he had to get back to work again. Worried that she would disturb Gu Qingmo by calling at an inappropriate timing, Qi Yuefeng rarely called Gu Qingmo.
Qi Yuefeng’s heart ached to see her son working so hard.
Missing Gu Qingmo, she wanted Gu Qingjiu to go over to check on his condition.
Gu Qingjiu thought about it, then nodded and said, “Sure, Mom, I’ll see if I can go over and visit Brother. I will go if I can. If I can’t come back, I’ll give you a call.”
“Okay, okay. If you’re going over, I’ll make you something that you can bring to your brother.”
Qi Yuefeng was thrilled to hear that Gu Qingjiu had confirmed she would be going.
Gu Qingjiu was a tad helpless. Seeing her Mom so happy, she didn’t have the heart to tell her otherwise. Seems like she had to find a way to route to America.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIt should be effortless for her to get the visa with her current identity.
So she didn’t fear she wouldn’t be able to go.
Ten-odd days to Chinese New Year, Gu Qingjiu packed up her luggage and rushed to the airport.
Helian Niancheng was waiting for her at the airport.
Gu Qingjiu would take a flight to Penalan from the capital.
She only brought one luggage with her. In any case, she didn’t need any special things at her older brother’s.
Qi Yuefeng had made some of her signature snacks for Gu Qingjiu to bring to her older brother.
Because it had been a long journey, Gu Qingjiu felt a tad tired. After she boarded the plane, she said to Helian Niancheng, “Chief Instructor, after I go to Penalan I need to visit my brother. I might spend Chinese New Year in the States. As such, I won’t be able to spend more than a few days in Penalan.”
Helian Niancheng frowned when he heard this, but he said nothing. He merely pulled Gu Qingjiu’s head to lean in his arms and said, “If you’re tired, go ahead and rest. We can talk about the rest after we get off the plane.”
“Okay!”
