Eighteen-year-old Xu Lin is still at that carefree age where he can fall asleep as soon as his head hits the pillow.
Then he slept straight through to 5:45 in the morning.
Why this time?
Because today is Tuesday, and Xu Lin has classes.
Ms. Ren directly woke Xu Lin up, urging him to get out of bed.
After washing up, the two of them went downstairs to check out at six-thirty.
Then they went to the KFC across the street for breakfast.
At this hour, KFC is about the only option, or maybe some small eateries for buns or rice noodle rolls.
Ren Yan said, "I'll drive you to school shortly, then I'll head straight to the train station."
"Alright, safe travels."
Xu Lin nodded.
"I'm not gone yet!"
Ren Yan glared at her son.
"So let's keep eating breakfast!"
Xu Lin continued drinking his soy milk.
"How's your novel going lately?"
Ren Yan asked again.
"I won another hundred thousand!"
"Just make sure you don't go astray!"
Ren Yan specially reminded him, not saying he should save the money, just that he shouldn't go astray.
"For example, bars and clubs, those kinds of places, definitely don't go. If I find out you went, you're doomed!"
"Don't worry, I won't go."
This is the kind of upbringing Xu Lin has; entertainment venues are completely off-limits.
But Xu Lin genuinely isn't interested in those places.
Xu Lin has only ever been to an internet cafe.
Xu Lin said, "By the end of the year, I'll come up with ten outlines, and next year I'll start making a fortune."
"Really that amazing?"
Ren Yan was curious.
To say, when it comes to novels, Ren Yan was still very surprised. From summer vacation until now, Xu Lin has already earned several hundred thousand.
Ren Yan hadn't seen a boy at this age being so formidable without relying on family.
At most, she'd read about it in online reports, but those were other people's kids.
Everyone has their own talents, so is her son suited for this?
"I feel like I can!"
Xu Lin didn't mention he was currently writing a novel with a lot of momentum.
"My 26-year-old Miss Maybach."
Just the rewards from this book this month have netted Xu Lin quite a few hundred thousand.
But if he says it, Ren Yan would probably explode.
Because this book is about his and Chi Linyue's story, of course, it's fictional.
However, if Ms. Ren knew, her eighteen-year-old son actually likes a twenty-six-year-old woman?
Then wouldn't that be something?
"Well, as long as you have money, don't go astray."
Ren Yan reminded him again.
Soon breakfast was finished.
Ren Yan called a ride, and a little after seven, mother and son took the ride to Finance University, arriving at the destination in about half an hour.
Xu Lin got out of the car and said to Ms. Ren, "Let me know when you reach the train station!"
Ren Yan nodded, then reminded him again, "Don't go astray, and once you're in college, don't be like before, study hard!"
"Ok!"
Afterward, Xu Lin saw his mom off.
In the car, Ren Yan looked back at Xu Lin until she couldn't see him anymore.
Her mood suddenly turned sentimental.
It hadn't felt this way before, but online it says that from college onwards, the time you see your parents is reduced quite a bit, and it's the same for parents.
"Can't say when the next meeting will be."
Ren Yan sighed.
She opened the calendar on her phone.
Checked the National Day holiday.
"Huh? This year Mid-Autumn Festival is on October 6th?"
Mid-Autumn and National Day are together.
"Never mind, can still see that little brat for Mid-Autumn during National Day!"
Ren Yan's mood improved.
Not long after Xu Lin started class, he received a message from Ms. Ren.
Ms. Ren: "Baby, I'm at the train station, boarding in twenty-five minutes!"
Xu Lin: "That's so mushy, I'm getting goosebumps!"
Ms. Ren: "Last time it wasn't you calling me mom, right?"
It really wasn't me!
The mother and son chatted for a bit.
Another twenty-five minutes passed.
Mom said she'd boarded, and sent Xu Lin a photo over of the seat by the window.
Later, when Ms. Ren reached the provincial city, she also sent Xu Lin updates and photos.
Xu Lin: "Smooth journey!"
Ms. Ren: "Don't go astray!"
Xu Lin: "Ok."
"Did your mom go back?"
Rong Xiyi beside Xu Lin asked.
"She's gone."
"Oh."
Rong Xiyi didn't say anything else.
The atmosphere in the class was quite good, even someone like Xu Lin paid attention through a full day of lessons.
He felt like he had changed.
He definitely wasn't like this before.
Finally, it came to the afternoon after class.
Ning Yuhuan returned to the dorm to put her things away, then came downstairs to go out with Xu Lin.
However, Ning Yuhuan carried a single-shoulder bag, inside was a set of clothes.
In this hot weather, there are people who change clothes two or three times a day.
Last night Xu Lin wanted to book a room, but was delayed until today, and for a passionate eighteen-year-old boy, that's quite tough.
After six, Xu Lin and Ning Yuhuan dined at a Northeastern cuisine restaurant, not expensive, two people, two dishes, over ninety.
Ning Yuhuan saw it wasn't dark yet.
"Honey, let's walk a bit, exercise, and digest first."
"Let's walk then."
Xu Lin and Ning Yuhuan walked along the street.
At this time, it's after work hours, and lots of students are out, so there are many people.
Ning Yuhuan held Xu Lin's hand while walking, afraid she'd get lost.
Later the two reached a small accessory shop.
Xu Lin saw Ning Yuhuan looking at the small trinkets for a while, and on impulse bought her a panda charm to hang on a keychain or phone case.
The little charm was quite cute, ten yuan each.
Ning Yuhuan hung it on the keyring, immediately captivated.
"Do you like it?"
Xu Lin asked her.
"Love it!"
