Cheng Baokun sighed. "I don't know what’s wrong with that boy. Our family wants the best for him, yet he leaves the comfort of the capital to go south."
Zhu Yanyi spoke up. "Godfather, I know you care for Brother Cheng Chen. Parents always worry for their kids. But when children grow up, they want their own lives. Look at me. I am a doctor in the capital hospital. My parents want me to stay, but I don’t plan to. My skills are for all sick people. So I go where I am needed. I even went to the border recently."
Cheng Baokun was slightly stunned. "You went to the border? That is too dangerous."
"I am a healer. I want to help more people. The border is dangerous, but many wounded need me. So I went. I did not ask first. My father was very angry, but she had to accept it. Who am I to refuse? I am a doctor," Zhu Yanyi said with a smile. "Brother Cheng Chen is better than me. At least she asks for your support. I think as long as everyone is safe, any path is fine. Just do not walk the wrong way."
Cheng Baokun knew Zhu Yanyi was there to plead for Cheng Chen. If she did not see it, she would be a fool.
"Are you here to plead for Cheng Chen?" Cheng Baokun asked.
"Yes," Zhu Yanyi answered frankly. "Godfather, in my opinion, let Brother Cheng Chen go south."
She continued to persuade her. "The south’s economy is growing fast. It is a great opportunity for her. You are her father. Do you not know her? she loves economics." Cheng Chen truly loved knowledge about economics.
Cheng Baokun knew his youngest son loved everything related to economics. He originally planned for him to return and take over his responsibilities. Since the eldest son could not enter business, Cheng Baokun now placed his hopes on Cheng Chen.
"I will consider it," Cheng Baokun said after thinking. She did not refuse. As Zhu Yanyi said, Cheng Chen was her son. What she thought was good, her son might not think so. The children were grown. Sometimes, they must fly alone.
After hanging up, Cheng Baokun pondered deeply. Chen Ailian heard about Zhu Yanyi’s call and said, "I told you. The Southern University is not bad. It is one of our country’s key universities. It is good for her to go there."
Cheng Baokun looked at Chen Ailian. "I originally hoped Cheng Chen would start developing in the capital. Our family’s roots are here. If he goes to the Southern University, he will be alone and weak there. I am not at ease."
"What is there to worry about in school?" Chen Ailian said directly. "If you are worried, make three rules with Cheng Chen. Then you need not worry."
Cheng Baokun thought it made sense. "You are right. Since that is so, I will make three rules with Cheng Chen. If he agrees, I will allow him to transfer to the Southern University."
Transferring universities is hard for ordinary families. For the Cheng family, although they were no longer a top-tier clan, transferring a university was easy.
After finishing the call, Zhu Yanyi said nothing. She knew that since Cheng Baokun said she would consider it, she would. So she was not worried.
Sure enough, three days later, Cheng Chen called to express his thanks. His tone was excited. He said the Cheng family was already handling his transfer procedures.
Zhu Yanyi smiled slightly. Sometimes she felt this behavior was willful, but she liked Cheng Chen’s straightforward style. She felt she should learn more from this style in the future.
Meanwhile, Oswaldo, hospitalized in the capital hospital, had collected all the materials Zhu Yanyi needed. Zhu Yanyi checked the materials and nodded slightly in satisfaction. She said to Oswaldo, "Making the skeleton takes time. If there are no problems, I will operate on you in half a month."
"In that case, I trouble you, Little Divine Doctor," Oswaldo said. Seeing so many materials, he knew refining a skeleton must be complex. He had no objection to the half-month wait.
In fact, she did not know that time in Zhu Yanyi’s Ruyi Space had a ratio. Refining a skeleton took one month in the space, but only thirty hours outside.
Zhu Yanyi would not tell others she had this ability. She would only say refining the skeleton was not easy. Others naturally believed it was difficult.
Of course, this was done at night. During the day, besides the hospital, she went to school. After communicating with the president of the Military Medical University, she decided to compress all the courses of this semester into the current term.
Thus, Zhu Yanyi was busy during the day and busy at night. She was busy every day. This made Yan Aohan a bit unhappy.
One day after dinner, Yan Aohan said to Zhu Yanyi, "Ani, accompany me for a walk."
Zhu Yanyi looked up and examined Yan Aohan. Seeing his expression, she understood. These days, she had been busy day and night, indeed neglecting him. So she smiled slightly and nodded. "Okay, let’s go for a post-meal walk."
The two walked out of the house.
Although it was a post-meal walk, they usually did not go far. The furthest was a free park nearby.
Plus, the weather was slowly turning cold, so fewer people came out for walks at night.
Zhu Yanyi and Yan Aohan held hands, walking slowly on the road. The hazy pale yellow lights gave a朦胧 (misty) feeling.
The sky had been overcast these days. It seemed snow would fall in a few days.
"The weather seems like it will snow," Zhu Yanyi said, looking at the sky. She could not see the moon, only a grayish haze.
Yan Aohan followed Zhu Yanyi’s gaze and looked at the sky, then nodded. "Yes, it will snow." Winter in the capital always came a bit earlier than in other cities.
Zhu Yanyi smiled slightly. "It seems we have not looked at the sky like this for a long time."
Yan Aohan looked at Zhu Yanyi. "Whose fault is that?"
"Okay, my fault, my fault," Zhu Yanyi said, looking at Yan Aohan with embarrassment. Indeed, she had neglected him a bit during this period.
