Qin Jian and An Hao got back home late.
Ning Yibin and Zhang Yun had been waiting for them to have dinner together.
"Why are you coming back so late today?" Zhang Yun brought out the dishes from the kitchen and casually asked about their day, "Who had a late class?"
"Mom! It was my class that ended late. Qin Jian waited for me at the school gate the entire time," An Hao said after washing her hands and returning to the dining table.
"You're both so busy even in the second half of your sophomore year. You say you hardly see each other all year round, and each has so much on their plate."
"Stop complaining, didn't we also go through this when we were young?" Ning Yibin remarked.
"Dad, Mom, Qin Jian! I have some great news. Today, Teacher Yan invited me to join his research group! If I study hard for a year or two, I can get credits and graduate early to start working sooner," An Hao shared excitedly.
