The next day Mo Roulan’s house was filled with people who came to congratulate her. Getting First place in the college entrance exam was not a small thing, especially in a town like Wenhua.

Lin Qianru invited Mo Roulan teachers to have a meal. The teachers were sitting around the round table while Mo Roulan was helping her mother in the kitchen. In between, laughter could be heard from outside inside the kitchen.

“Roulan, go outside and accompany our guests. Mother will handle here by herself.”

Although Mo Roulan didn’t think that she didn’t think that there was any need for her to go outside and entertain the guests, she didn’t refuse her mother.

She obediently nodded and went outside the kitchen towards the room.

Nearing the door, she could hear Teacher Li saying something that made her halt.

“She is similar in every aspect to her father. He also—”

Teacher Li could not complete his sentence as he was interrupted by Teacher Sun who was sitting on his right side.

“What rubbish are you spouting, Old Li? Girl Roulan is sensible. She is not ambitious like him. I don’t agree with you on this matter at all.”

Teacher Li went silent at his words. But he knew whatever Old Sun words were not wrong.

As if Old Sun realized something, he immediately looked towards the door. Seeing that there was no one around to hear their talk, he let out a sigh of relief. He reprimanded Old Li for his carelessness.

“Old Li, You should see where you are sitting before deciding what should you say next. ”

Teacher Li seemed to realize his mistake as well and apologized for his loose tongue. Fortunately, No one heard their words.

Mo Roulan stood outside the door without moving for a few seconds with her head lower. Then she went back to the kitchen. The dishes had already been made and her Mother was arranging them on a tray. She went to help her mother pick one.

The group teachers enjoyed Lin Qianru cooking very much. After finishing their meal, they asked Mo Roulan about her future plans who looked blank. It was not Mo Roulan’s fault. She actually never thought about her future. In her last life, she could not attend college as the orphanage didn’t pay for her studies. In this life, her only purpose was to give her mother and brother a happy peaceful life. She studied hard to get the scholarship but she had not expected to get the first place.

Teacher Sun thought that she was confused so suggested to her about some colleges.

“You should think about Redlands Middle University in the City S. It is the only institution that was established in the recent years by our country. ”

Unnoticed from everyone’s eyes, Lin Qianru and Mo Roulan, both stiffened at the mention of City S.

While Teacher Li suggested

“If you want you can think about Central University. It is the most prestigious post-secondary institution in the whole country and it is in City H which is also not far away from the town.”

Mo Roulan blankly listened to all the suggestions. To her, it made no difference even if she attended the town’s college. But to her surprise, her mother suddenly spoke

“Teacher Li, Can you tell me more about this University.”

Teacher Li felt happy on seeing that she was really curious to know about it and he told her enthusiastically about Central University.

On the other hand, Mo Roulan looked at her mother with a confused expression. Why was her mother suddenly so curious about the University in City H. She couldn’t be….

Her eyes widened on realizing something and a very bad premonition aroused in her heart. She just wished that it could be just her who was overthinking.

Lin Qianru heard everything very attentively, Teacher Li told her. The more she listened, the more she felt satisfied with it.

Teacher Sun also spoke in between to tell whatever he knew. All the teachers were now starting to stand up to leave so Lin Qianru and Mo Roulan send them off.

At this moment, Mo Roulan decided to talk to her mother about what she had been thinking but Lin Qianru phone started to ring loudly.

How could Lin Qianru not know what was her daughter going to ask her? She had wanted to avoid this conversation so she immediately picked the call ignoring her daughter’s startled look and walked away from there.

Mo Roulan who was still standing at the same spot only heard her shouting that she was going to the restaurant. She let out a sigh and decided to talk to her mother later. It was not like her mother would fill her admission form without talking to her.

But days passed, Mo Roulan could not talk to her mother. Whenever she tried to start the topic of her admission, her mother would suddenly leave from there giving some excuse.

One month passed and the postman of the town, Qiu Zhifan came again with two letters. Both of them were from Universities Teacher Li and Teacher Sun had mentioned. Inside was the invitation letter for Mo Roulan to attend their University. Lin Qianru seriously read the letter sent by Central University. As for the one that came from City S, she just glanced at the unopened letter and didn’t even open it. Then in the afternoon, she went to Teacher Li’s house and showed him the invitation letter. He told her about the admission procedure.

The next day she told Mo Roulan that she was going to the restaurant but she went to the bank and withdraw the saved money. That day, Lin Qianru went home very late. Seeing tiredness and fatigue on her face, Mo Roulan served her dinner silently and let her go to the room to rest.

The next morning, Lin Qianru gave her a document and asked her to sign it. Mo Roulan took the document from her mother with a confused face and when she read the content, the paper fell from her hands.
