No matter how long it took to be in the United States, Qianyi finally walked step by step.

At this moment, she pushed the door and walked out of the conference room of the doctor's defense with trembling legs, feeling like walking through the door of time, and at that end was her home in City A.

D one step ahead

. Ka

l stepped forward and gave Chii a big hug in the hallway: "Eli."

E, I had a perfect performance today, I would like to congratulate you in advance!"

"Really?" Qianyi's back was covered with sweat at the moment, how did she behave in the conference room just now, to be honest, she had passively and selectively lost her memory.

“Eli

e, your insights on the treatment of autism in children are fresh and the arguments are sufficiently objective, and this time it is absolutely fine!"

stepped forward and hugged Qianyi as well.

Qianyi's eyes blinked for a long time, but she was still not very confident: "Can I pass my defense?"

"Hah, since I can get you to answer, unless you run away from the battle, or act too badly, of course you will pass!" Joh

smiled, and directly revealed the old bottom: "Believe me as a person from here, although I have defended twice before." ”

For Joh

This kind of self-deprecating spirit, Qianyi couldn't cry or laugh a little, and simply sighed: "You don't know, I left the scene just now, and when I came out for the last time, there was only one thought in my mind, even if I couldn't defend this time, I wouldn't continue to stay up, I almost wanted to die B."

IGHT, what a Ph.D., is not as important as my son. ”

"No, no, Eli

e, never give up at any time," D

. Ka

l shook his finger and said with a smile: "Also, believe in Lao Ka."

l, my students are the best. ”

"I don't know when the defense committee will come out with a result?" Qian Yi muttered, looking back at the door of the conference room that was tightly closed behind her, when the female defense chairman asked her to go out and wait for the news, her expression was too serious, or more precisely, her face was expressionless, so that Qian Yi was still nervous, basically without confidence.

D

. Ka

l stepped forward at this time, patted Qianyi on the back, and led her to stand in front of a window: "Eli."

E, take it easy, we'll all wait with you. ”

Qianyi kept stroking his chest: "My heart is beating so fast, I'm more nervous than when I went in to defend just now, Ka."

l, I'm really afraid of embarrassing you. ”

"Silly girl, you are my first student from China, and I am even more proud. ”D

. Ka

l is still encouraging her.

"Qianyi!" a man's voice came from not far away.

At this time, hearing someone say Chinese, or calling her Chinese name, Qianyi immediately turned her head and unexpectedly found that it was Nian Qingzhou who called her.

"Qingzhou, why are you here?" Qianyi couldn't help but laugh happily, almost running forward.

Nian Qingzhou hugged Qianyi: "I went to the University of Washington to attend a project seminar, and I heard that you have a thesis defense today, so I came over to listen." ”

"That...... You went in, what do you think of me?" Chii couldn't wait to hear her friend's opinion.

"Old Ka

Didn't you say it, it was perfect. Nian Qingzhou looked at Qianyi with a smile, and then looked behind her.

Chii turned around and saw D

. Ka

l spread his hands at himself, shrugged his shoulders again, and naturally understood what he meant, D

. Ka

l is to say, and the hero of Nian Qingzhou sees the same.

"By the way, is your wife here too? Why don't we have a drink in the evening? Qianyi said with a smile.

"I'm afraid not, I think you won't have time by then," Nian Qingzhou shook his head: "Ja."

ET didn't come either, and even if she did, she couldn't drink. ”

Qianyi didn't hear the meaning of the first half of Nian Qingzhou's sentence, but immediately understood the meaning of his later sentence, his eyes flashed, and he immediately asked: "If you guess correctly, Qingzhou is going to be a father?"

"You're not mistaken. The corners of Nian Qingzhou's lips curled at this time.

"Oh my God!" Qian Yi grabbed Nian Qingzhou's arm and shook it, shouting: "Great, Qingzhou, you will definitely be the best father in the world in the future." ”

Probably Qianyi's voice was a little louder, and the people in the corridor turned their heads to look at them, and for a while, Nian Qingzhou was a little embarrassed, and reminded Qianyi in a low voice: "That...... Don't get so excited. ”

"That's right," Qianyi covered her mouth with her hand, laughed for a while, and nodded Nian Qingzhou: "You are too calm for such a happy thing." ”

Nian Qingzhou scratched the back of his head: "The main thing is that the happiest time has passed, and now we are all waiting for the birth of the child with great expectations, okay, don't talk about it, have you thought about when to return to China?"

"I can't wait to leave right away," Qianyi was in a good mood now, and glanced at D

. Ka

l, then said to Nian Qingzhou: "I just said, even if this defense fails, my mother will not do it, hurry home to accompany my son, it's too torturous, do you know, for this doctorate, even the head and tail, I spent seven years, and if it drags on, it's really crazy!"

Nian Qingzhou laughed: "Old lady, when did you become so strong?"

"If I don't be tough, I'll be depressed, no wonder many boys in the institute are bald at a young age, it's so tormenting!" Qian Yi sighed.

"You will definitely succeed in the defense, I just listened to a lot below, although professionally, I don't know too much, but you behaved very generously on the spot, and your thinking was very clear, basically not asked," Nian Qingzhou glanced at the door of the conference room: "If I were a member of the defense committee, I would definitely vote for you." ”

"Borrow your auspicious words," Qianyi also glanced at Nian Qingzhou's line of sight, and then quickly retracted his gaze: "This is really panicked!"

Nian Qingzhou couldn't help laughing: "Actually, when I was waiting for the results of the defense, I was as nervous as you are now, but I was still young at the time, and the thought in my heart was, it's really not good, I'll do it again." ”

"So, you have to study as soon as possible, no matter what you do, whether it's your studies, career or family, you have to do it as soon as possible," Qianyi suddenly sighed with emotion: "Thinking about it now, it seems that I really wasted a lot of time before, so now, I will chase and chase desperately, with this old arm and legs, speaking of which, I didn't expect that I could persist until now." ”

Nian Qingzhou glanced at Qianyi with some meaning, and casually glanced somewhere outside the corridor.

"By the way, last time Xue Fu called me and said that Dr. He's condition is quite stable now?" Qianyi then remembered that he hadn't asked Nian Qingzhou about his mother yet.

"It's okay, we're all doing our best," mentioning his mother, Nian Qingzhou's expression couldn't help but show a hint of sadness: "Mom is also very strong, she said, I will definitely wait until my child is born." ”

Qianyi was a little silent, and it could be seen that after nearly a year, Nian Qingzhou's eyes had lost their previous brightness, as if the hearty and energetic Nian Qingzhou didn't know where he had gone.

“Eli

e, the time is almost there, and the result will be known immediately. ”D

. Ka

l looked at his watch and walked over.

Qianyi's heart was pounding again, her eyes were staring at the door of the conference room, hoping that it would open soon, but also hoping that it would not be so early, she had a feeling that if she was notified that she did not pass the defense, she would definitely faint directly to the ground.

"Chie, believe in yourself. Nian Qingzhou said behind Qianyi: "We can all see your efforts. ”

"Okay!" Qian Yi took a deep breath: "For the sake of Xiao Tsuba, I also want to be the best Qian Yi," and then suddenly stretched out his tongue at everyone and smiled: "I'm sorry, let's go to the bathroom first." ”

“Eli

eCha

。 The door of the conference room finally opened under the gaze of everyone, and someone came out to call Qianyi's English name.

Chiyi, who had just returned from the bathroom, immediately felt that her steps were so heavy that she couldn't lift them until D

. Ka

L pushed her from behind: "Qianyi, go in!"

Biting her lip, Chii finally stepped into the conference room.

At this time, in the conference room, everyone's eyes fell on Qian Yi, who had just walked inside.

With "I'm the best" in her heart, Chie struggled to look calm and smiled at the crowd.

The chairman of the defense, who was sitting on the main seat, slowly stood up at this time.

Qian Yi couldn't help but want to see a clue from the other party's body language and expression, but the person still had a serious face and picked up a folder on the table unhurriedly.

Before coming in to plead, D

. Ka

l had boasted that the chairman of the defense this time was his classmate, and even the lady pursued D when she was young

. Ka

l, the implication is that there is his old Ka

l in, Qianyi will definitely be able to pass the defense.

However, Qianyi has long heard that this international child psychology expert has always been known for being serious and demanding, and some people who have failed in the defense before have complained that they have inexplicably failed in the hands of this lady, so Qianyi feels that he has no confidence at all.

And now, Qianyi's mood of waiting for the other party to announce the result is tantamount to waiting for the verdict to be announced.

“Eli

eCha

The chairman of the defense looked at the folder in his hand, and it took a long time to raise his head, and he actually smiled: "Congratulations, your defense...... Qualified. ”

In Qianyi's stunned gaze, the chairman of the defense stepped forward and shook hands with her, and then, all the defense committee members came to congratulate her, and then they left.

Qianyi mechanically shook hands with everyone and said thank you mechanically, until a fat old man came over and hugged Qianyi into his arms: "Eli."

E, I just said, you're old Ka

L's pride!" At this moment, Qianyi finally reacted.

I don't know when, a lot of people poured in, all of them were Qianyi's classmates and friends, all of them came to express their congratulations, and there was a sudden "pounding" in the conference room, and Qianyi was stunned, it turned out to be Joh

A bottle of champagne was opened.

"Oh my God, you're all ready!" Qian Yi didn't control her emotions well, and she cried on the spot, really touched by the surprise everyone brought her.

Nian Qingzhou also stepped forward, hugged Qianyi again, and then handed over a pack of tissues: "Cry, think about it, you don't have to suffer anymore, why don't you cry quickly?"
