The green camphor tree has a deep view

It was getting late, so Wen Qing picked up her phone to check the time, then quickly put on her bag, trotted out the door, went downstairs, and headed for the kindergarten.

Today is Jing Long's first day after transferring to the academy. She wanted to go there early to ease Jing Long's discomfort with the unfamiliar environment.

The community is quite far from the kindergarten, and it would take at least 15 minutes to walk there. Wen Qing was worried about being late, but she was reluctant to take a taxi alone, so she just kept on going.

After a busy day today, Wen Qing felt her feet and legs were sore after walking for a while, but she didn't dare to slow down, so she had to keep walking, and soon she was out of the community.

There was a bus stop at the entrance of the community, and a row of shared bicycles were densely placed next to the bus stop. Wen Qing paused for a moment, staring at the shared bicycles in a daze.

It would cost about three to five yuan to ride a bike from here to the kindergarten, and she would need to take a taxi to pick up Jing Long, and the starting fare for a taxi would be more than ten yuan... She hesitated for a moment, then walked away with a hard heart.

After crossing the bicycle street, Wen Qing bent down and rubbed her sore calves while waiting for the red light at the pedestrian intersection. Just as she was about to look up, she heard a short whistle.

She looked up and saw a silver-gray BMW slowly sliding in front of her. The window slid down, revealing a face with gentle features.

"Professor Gu." Wen Qing greeted with a smile, "Are you going home?"

When they moved at noon, Wen Qing heard Zhu Yu say that Gu Huaiyuan had an old house in the old dormitory yard of F University, and he had lived here for many years.

Later, after I became famous, I moved to a fully furnished apartment donated by the school, but I still store a lot of books and materials here, and I occasionally come back to stay for a few days.

Therefore, Wen Qing was not surprised to meet him here, but felt very friendly - she became Professor Gu's neighbor by accident, what an interesting fate!

However, Gu Huaiyuan did not think so. This house contained his memories. Although he seldom lived here, he had never thought about selling or renting it out.

He showed up here on purpose. The small appliances he sent to Zhou Wen's ward were packed by Wen Qing and sent back to the Talent Apartment by express delivery.

The moment he received the call from the courier, he realized that Zhou Wen might have been discharged from the hospital.

He immediately put down what he was doing and rushed to the hospital. Only when he saw the empty bed did he have to accept the reality - Zhou Wen was discharged from the hospital without telling him a word.

She was still polite and distant to him, and she still didn't want to trouble him as always.

Gu Huaiyuan didn't have time to sigh, and hurried to ask where Zhou Wen was, but the nurses at the nurse station blushed and said they didn't know. He wanted to call Wen Qing to ask, but he was afraid of alerting Zhou Wen.

There was really no other way, so he had to go back to school first. Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked out of the hospital gate, he saw Zhu Yu driving a Focus towards him, with Wen Qing sitting in the passenger seat.

Gu Huaiyuan silently parked the car in front of the hospital. After waiting for a while, he saw Zhu Yu's Focus driving out again. This time, the person sitting in the passenger seat was indeed the woman he was worried about.

Gu Huaiyuan started the car and followed Zhu Yu's car closely. Unexpectedly, he followed them to the old dormitory yard of F University.

When he saw Zhou Wen getting out of Zhu Yu's car, he couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth and revealed a relieved smile - the building that Zhou Wen walked into was just behind his house, and he could see her window when he opened the window.

For so many years, he has always wanted to be closer to Zhou Wen. This time, God seemed to have heard his prayers and gave him this opportunity without any effort.

I must not let this opportunity slip away - Gu Huaiyuan made a secret decision.

In this way, he stayed in the old house the whole afternoon. He saw Zhu Yu and Jiang Xueming leave, and then saw Wen Qing hurried out. He raised his wrist to check his watch and quickly realized that Wen Qing was going to pick up Jing Long, so he immediately went downstairs and drove to catch up.

"Hurry up and get in the car. It's not convenient to park here." He said to Wen Qing who looked surprised.

Wen Qing smiled and said "hmm", walked up quickly, opened the car door, and sat in the passenger seat.

"What a coincidence?" She said with a smile, "Can you help me pick up Jing Long? He is at the public kindergarten next door."

"He transferred to another kindergarten?" Gu Huaiyuan was a little surprised.

"Well. The original private kindergarten was too expensive and we couldn't afford it." Wen Qing said apologetically.

"Public kindergartens have their own advantages," Gu Huaiyuan said calmly. "It's not necessarily a bad thing for children to experience different environments as they grow up."

"Really? I'm also worried that he will suffer from too big a psychological gap and develop psychological trauma." Wen Qing was really worried about this. In addition to the new kindergarten, there was also a completely different living environment.

The Song family lived a luxurious life in their mansion with a large number of servants, but all she could offer was a small house of a few dozen square meters. Not to mention servants, there wasn't even an elevator.

As the saying goes, it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality. It is difficult for adults to adapt, let alone a five-year-old child.

Thinking of this, Wen Qing sighed: "With our current capabilities, this is the only way. I hope it won't be too unfair to Jing Long."

"Children are not so utilitarian. Their happiness has little to do with material things, but is more closely related to emotions and companionship. Besides, Jing Long's decision to follow you was his own, right?"

"Although you can say that, but... it's precisely because he chose to live with us that I feel more pressured. I don't want him to live worse than in the Song family." Wen Qing said in a dilemma.

Gu Huaiyuan smiled when he heard this: "You think too much. For Jing Long, the current Song family is more like a luxurious shelter than a home. But you are different." He glanced at Wen Qing, his eyes full of warmth and encouragement. "You give us warmth and a feeling of home. Children's intuition is often much more accurate than adults. Jing Long did not make the wrong choice."

After hearing what it said, Wen Qing's heart felt as clear and bright as if the sky had cleared after the rain. She gave Gu Huaiyuan a bright smile and said "thank you".

Gu Huaiyuan also smiled and said "You're welcome". The smiles of the two people had a similar texture - restrained yet relaxed, plain yet friendly. Putting them in the same picture looked quite harmonious and pleasing to the eye.

However, this scene may not resonate with others, such as the angry man in the black G-Class that had just parked on the sidewalk and was now following next to them.

Song Jingshen was furious when he saw Wen Qing in the silver-grey BMW. She felt like she was entering a dangerous place when she got into his car, but she felt so comfortable getting into Gu Huaiyuan's car. She sat in the passenger seat without saying a word and even chatted and laughed with Gu Huaiyuan.

Song Jingshen originally wanted to accompany her to pick up Jing Long, but when he saw the BMW driving towards the kindergarten, he felt even more upset.

After reaching another intersection, Song Jingshen simply turned the direction, stepped on the accelerator, and drove in another direction.
