When they had lunch together the next day, Gege told Lin Yi that Sister Qing might want to meet him. Lin Yi was both surprised and not so surprised. After all, when they met for the first time, Sister Qing said that she would invite him to her home as a guest. It's just that Lin Yi hasn't found a particularly good reason to visit.

Gege didn't seem to be very worried about this, and repeatedly emphasized that Sister Qing has a very cheerful personality and is a very free parent. Lin Yi was not very worried, but looked forward to it, after all, this is the mother of the girl he likes, and it is very important for Lin Yi to be recognized by the other party.

The next afternoon, Lin Yi was resting in the dormitory, and a classmate from the dormitory next door knocked on the door, "Lin Yi, your sister is looking for you." It's downstairs too. ”

Lin Yi's sisters, cousins, and cousins didn't have any, and they were wondering who it would be, and when they went down to take a look, it turned out to be ...... Sister Qing.

Sister Qing waved her hand, "Lin Yi, long time no see." ”

After a brief greeting, Sister Qing motioned to Lin Yi to find a quiet place to talk, so they went to the café outside the west gate of the school. Sister Qing said that Gege had a class at this time, so she didn't call Gege.

After sitting down, Sister Qing ordered a cup of coffee, and Lin Yi was a little nervous and ordered a cup of ice water.

"Last time, I saw you in a hurry, so you had time to come to our house as a guest, why haven't you been seen here?"

"Well, I feel like it's a big deal to come to my door, so I've been feeling unprepared."

"I understand, Gege's father was the same back then."

"I'm just looking for you today to chat, don't be nervous. By the way, I'll give you the materials you need first, Gege said, you're going to apply to Harvard's summer program with her. I am very much in favor and glad that she has met such a motivated child as you. My daughter knew very well that she needed someone who could carry her along. So, I'm glad you two got along. After speaking, Sister Qing took out a document bag from her bag, opened it and gave Lin Yi a general look, it was Gege's passport and related information documents. Sister Qing took out another small envelope, "This is the money you need to apply for visa materials, I won't transfer it to you through Gege, I probably checked it, it shouldn't be more, no less." ”

Lin Yi wanted to refuse, but there was an irresistible majesty of elders under Sister Qing's gentleness, so Lin Yi silently accepted it.

Then Sister Qing asked again, "Lin Yi, since you will go to the United States to attend summer school in the summer, I would like to know if you have any longer-term plans for the future?" ”

Lin kept looking Sister Qing's eyes and said very sincerely, "I plan to go to the United States for further study in the future." Actually, my parents originally wanted me to go out for undergrad, but I still wanted to finish college in China and then go out. I've always wanted to discuss this with Gege, and I actually hope that she can come with me in the future. ”

Sister Qing couldn't help laughing, "Haha, that's great." Our family has always hoped that she could go out and have a look, but Gege has no special plans for this child. If you tell her now, I think she will be very serious about preparing. ”

Hearing Sister Qing say this, Lin Yi also laughed from the bottom of his heart. Lin Yi is a person who has a long-term plan, and has always planned for the future early. Of course, Gege is in his plan, but many parents are reluctant to let their children fly away, even if they are studying, they will have such and such worries, Lin Yi also thought that he would have the opportunity to test the tone of Gege's family in the future, but he didn't expect it to be solved so easily.

Sister Qing said with a smile, "I will transfer the tuition fee of the summer school to Gege, and you can just tell Gege directly when you apply and need to pay the fee." ”

Lin Yi waved his hand directly, "Auntie, you don't need to ......"

Sister Qing frowned slightly, "The young man in your dormitory called me my sister when he saw me." ”

"I'm sorry, Sister Qing." Lin Yi shouted as he learned to speak.

"Summer school is not a small expense, and of course this fee should be paid by us as parents. Gege told me, you are very generous to her, she has no chance to pay during the relationship, she is actually very burdened. My daughter I know that I have taught her since she was a child that she can't take advantage of others in vain, even if it's a boyfriend or girlfriend, she can't always fail to give. What's more, you are all still students, and you are spending all your family's money. Therefore, it should be her own, and you don't make the decision for her, otherwise after a long time, there will be contradictions. I know that you are good to her because you like her, but sometimes you can think about it from the other person's point of view to know what is really good for the other person. ”

Sister Qing said everything in one go, her tone was gentle but firm. Lin Yi didn't need to make much effort to understand that Sister Qing was right. Really being good to a person is not to treat the other person in your own way, but to understand what the other person thinks, and empathy is really good for the other party. Lin Yi didn't expect that his generosity would cause trouble to Gege, so he was a little annoyed at the moment.

"Actually, Sister Qing, I don't think Gege took advantage of me for nothing. First, Gege is my girlfriend, and I really want to take care of her and be good to her; Second, Gege has been accompanying me to review English during this time, and it is thanks to her that my exam preparation went smoothly, so this is also what she deserves," Speaking of this, Lin Yi's face blushed obviously, of course he didn't dare to tell Sister Qing how Gege "encouraged" him to learn English. Lin Yi swallowed a mouthful of ice water, and then said, "What's more, I've actually started to write some small programs for some companies since the summer vacation, so the funds for my date with Gege were not given by my parents. ”

Sister Qing took a sip of her coffee, "I'm glad you think so, but have you never said these words to Gege?" ”

Lin Yi was silent, indeed, he should have told Gege earlier, but he did it as a matter of course, completely ignoring Gege's feelings.

"Okay, I think you can talk to Gege yourself later, so she can be more calm. In the eyes of adults, although you are adults, you are still children with limited experience. Gege is her first love, and she still has a lot to learn, such as how to tell each other what she thinks in her heart. Falling in love is not a riddle, and the other party will not know a lot of things if you don't say them. This time, I am not only teaching her, but also teaching you how to do it in the future to make the other party understand your thoughts better. I hope you don't think I'm preaching. Taking a sip of coffee, Sister Qing continued, "Although you may think that I am a stranger, after all, we have just met twice, but do you know? Actually, I'm very familiar with you. I've been listening to my baby daughter talk about you for three years. When she was in high school, she would come back almost every day to tell me how Lin Yi was doing today. Of course, I guess she'll have some filters to glorify you, because you're her first love. But I trust my daughter's eyes, and she says so many things, so I'm really no stranger to you. ”

Lin Yi was a little surprised, it turned out that Gege had such a good relationship with Sister Qing, and he would even share things about liking boys.

"Frankly speaking, I always thought that Gege would get along with Jian Yang, you know Jian Yang, you are all in the same class. Yi Yang's child has always liked Gege very much, and their family has already bought a big house, but Yi Yang has always refused to move out in order to be able to go to and from school with Gege. Over the years, he has always taken care of Gege, and I thought that their pro-plum sweethearts could naturally develop a relationship, but as a result, this fate is not easy to say. ”

Hearing Sister Qing talk about Jian Yang so affectionately, Lin Yi actually felt a little uncomfortable.

Sister Qing continued, "Gege is sincere to you, and you are also the first boy she likes, so I hope that even if the first love does not work out, it can leave good memories, even if it is old, it is happy." ”

Lin suddenly consciously interrupted Sister Qing, "First love can also have results." ”

Sister Qing squinted her eyes and was noncommittal, "Then it depends on how you go on." ”

Lin Yi looked at Sister Qing seriously, "I'm serious about Gege. ”

Sister Qing took out the coffee money from her purse, pressed it against the corner of the table with the coffee mat, slowly got up, and faced Lin Yiyi, "I believe you are serious, and I believe that you are a reliable child, so I am glad that Gege's first boyfriend was you." As for whether you are the last one, that's not up to me, it depends on how you get along in the future. In addition, seriousness is not just words, but actions. Maybe you are still children in the eyes of your parents, but in fact you are all adults and you should be able to take responsibility for your own actions," after a pause, Sister Qing continued, "When there must be passion in love, a man should have a man's responsibility." You must protect your beloved girl and not let her get hurt. Do you understand what I'm saying? ”

Lin Yi comprehended, on the one hand, he was surprised that Sister Qing was so open-minded, and on the other hand, he silently felt that if one day he could really achieve a positive result with Gege, the two families would definitely get along very well, Sister Qing and Melissa were simply the same kind of mother, and they were also extremely rare kind of reasonable mothers.

"Okay, without delaying your time, it's time for Gege to get out of class. I still have something to do today, so I won't eat with you. This time I will make an appointment with you again, and you will definitely come to our house when you have time, and Gege's father and I are always welcome to be guests. ”

Seeing Sister Qing's departure, Lin Yi looked at the time and dialed Gege's phone.

"Is class over?"

"Well, just got out of class. Where are you? ”

"At Starbucks, I just had coffee with your mom."

"Huh? Did she come to school? Are you still together? Do you eat together in the evening? ”

"She's a little bit of a problem, she's gone, it's just the two of us at night."

"Okay, then you can pick me up, I'll go downstairs now."
