Chapter 3: Sisterhood and Childly Infatuation [Act 6] (11)

As soon as the words came out, Yuwei suddenly felt that time was reversed, going back to the solemn oath she made on campus during the Qingming holiday. And the reason why she was able to get a place to study abroad on public assignment was not because the country and Professor Ye trusted her to return from her studies? If you stay overseas, won't you completely live up to the ardent expectations of many people, and even go against your own wishes?

What's more, Lin Jingru's family background is hateful, but whether or not she should join the foreign nationality of that era is a matter of urgency, after all, she has to follow her own opinion, how can she be the replacement?

"Why is your country worthy of your concern?" Professor Collinis smiled lightly, but his eyes were scorching, "If I remember correctly, your country has been weakened since its defeat in the First Anglo-Chinese War[168], and its international standing has plummeted forever. As an international student, have you never been aware of the sorrow of this weak country? And Japan will occupy your country in the near future, so that you and your relatives will become their slaves from now on, is this the result that you are willing to accept? Now that there is such a great opportunity, why not leave yourself a way out of this impending dilemma? ”

Yu Wei suddenly looked resolute, and despite her illness and weakness, she made an impassioned statement: "Since the motherland is weak, it is even more necessary for us students to learn to save the country!" If I go back and face a motherland full of holes, I will do my best to build it, even if it is just a little bit! If I am facing a motherland that is still suffering from slavery and oppression, I will do my best to make it independent and self-reliant! Because that's my country, that's my home! ”

Professor Collinis's eyes narrowed slightly, and his kind face turned solemn, and Yu Wei looked at him fearlessly, uncompromisingly—since this strange and mysterious scientific research had to employ German medical personnel, the water in it must be unfathomable and must not be involved in anything.

After a long time, Professor Collinis let out a long sigh, his blue eyes flashed with appreciation, and he did not hide a little loss: "Good, very good! I now finally understand why you, Miss Xu, Mr. Kwong and other Chinese students study hard and get excellent grades. As long as that fragile nation has citizens like yours, it will never perish! Mia, this is not appropriate for the sake of the teacher, please understand. As he spoke, he turned and walked towards the door, his steps stiff.

Seeing this, Yu Wei couldn't help but feel a faint heartache, and secretly complained about why Fang couldn't be a little tactful, so that she hurt Professor Collinis. She hurriedly apologized sincerely to the other party's back: "Professor, please forgive me for being young and vigorous, or immature, but I have already planned to leave for China after finishing my studies in Germany." And there are many talented German students at the University of Berlin, so why don't you have the right candidates? ”

Hearing this, Professor Collinis stopped holding the door and secretly laughed at the fact that Andrew's "retreat is advancing" strategy was really effective, which made the Chinese student feel ashamed. It's just that she still refused neatly, and she couldn't help but be a little disappointed in her heart. He slowly turned his head to look at Yu Wei, the smile on his lips was elusive: "So Mia, who do you think among you interns from the University of Munich can fill this vacancy for you?" ”
