    Jiang Yao nced at Lu Xingzhi and chuckled. "Sister, is it true? That''s so funny. What happened


    then?"


    "Then, he always sat by himself as no one wanted to sit next to him," Lu Yuqing said with a giggle. "His


    ssmates were all afraid of him but he didn''t seem to catch that, still putting on the solemn and


    serious face. Anyway, he didn''t have the time and mood to have fun at the time. All he did was study


    because he wanted to apply to Jindo Military College."


    Lu Yuqing sighed and continued, "Three times. From the time he was young till now, I''ve only seen him


    smile so happily three times. The first time was when he received the letter of admission from Jindo


    Military College. The second time was when he came home at the end of the year beforest for


    unknown reasons. The third time was at your wedding. A few of his friends said that heughed like a

    fool, especially during the wedding banquet. From what I can see now, it''s kind of simr to the foolish


    smile!"


    "Eat," Lu Xingzhimanded, sounding like a monarch who gave orders. He restored his usual


    deadpan expression when Lu Yuqing indulged in her memory.


    After speaking, Lu Xingzhi kept his head down and ate his lunch quickly. His fast eating pace was


    trained at the base. It was as fast as a tornado sweeping through the dining table. Although he would


    deliberately slow down when he dined at home, the speed still caught the slow-eater Jiang Yao by


    surprise.


    "It''s so rare that we get to eat together as a family. I''ll grab some wine, let''s have a drink together," Mrs.


    Lu announced suddenly. She raised to her feet, went to the kitchen with a smile, and took out her


    homemade wine from the fridge.


    It was such a great pleasure to drink some chilled homemade wine in the hot summer. Even Lu Xingzhi


    adored the taste.


    "I missed the wine when I was at the base." Lu Xingzhi looked at Jiang Yao. "Since you''ve graduated


    from high school, do you want to try some?"


    "Xingzhi is right! Jiang Yao, let''s celebrate for you today. Congrattions on being admitted to Nanjiang


    Medical University. You will be the future doctor of our family!" Mr. Lu remarked with a chirpingugh.


    "You are about to go to college, that means you''re a big girl now. Your mother-inw''s wine is very nice,


    you should try some."


    "Celebrate?" Lu Yuqing''s shrill voice resonated instantly, but before she could continue, Zhao


    Zhuangzong hurriedly spoke, "Yes, we should celebrate! Jiang Yao will be a college student soon, we


    are so proud of you! Although it''s been a while since the college entrance exam has been reintroduced,


    there are very few female college students in this town, and even fewer who have been epted by


    the key universities! Jiang Yao''s high school grades were among the top in town. Now, the honorary


    student is admitted to a prestigious college. We really should celebrate!"


    Zhao Zhuangzong knew his wife''s temper like the back of his hands. He had no doubts that if his wife


    continued to attack Jiang Yao, the lunch would end with a quarrel with her brother and an unhappy


    farewell.


    Lu Xingzhi looked at Zhao Zhuangzong. Jiang Yao voiced out before he could speak.


    "Mom, Dad, I''ve made a decision. I will not attend Nanjiang Medical University." Jiang Yao had been


    thinking about this matter from the moment she received the letter of admission, or rather, when the


    letter was thrown at her face. "Dad, Mom, I''m sorry I was stubborn and selfish about this matter. I only


    thought about myself, but I didn''t think of you and Xingzhi. I regret it. I shouldn''t have applied to


    Nanjiang, but I did, and it''s toote to regret the decision now. So, I''ve decided that I will not go to


    Nanjiang."


    "You''re not going?" Mrs. Lu shouted in a sharp tone. "You don''t want to attend college?"
