Chapter 351 – The Plane Carrying Hopes and Dreams Took Off…
In the end, Ye Jing was left speechless by Jiang Wenxu.
He realized that his thoughts had been completely pierced through.
Eventually, Yuan Yong left with Yuan Qi, having taken a week off. After learning that Yuan Yong intended to take Yuan Qi somewhere, Jiang Wenxu also agreed.
Ye Jing, however, left the president’s office in embarrassment and went straight back to his dormitory.
But Ye Jing’s punishment was not yet truly upon him.
That afternoon, the broadcast announced another piece of news: several people, including Ye Jing, would be expelled from the school.
This meant that they would no longer be able to continue their studies at Beijing University.
Moreover, this stain would be recorded in their files and follow them for the rest of their lives.
It was undoubtedly another blow after being barred from going abroad.
Since the mistakes were their own, no one dared to challenge the president.
Of course, Ye Jing was the most unfortunate one among them.
Not only would he be expelled, but Yuan Qi would also divorce him, and their child would be ab*rted…
Afterwards, he would have nothing in Beijing and would have to pack up and return to his hometown. What kind of life he would lead there was uncertain.
But it could be imagined that it wouldn’t be very good, as Jiang Wenxu, while expelling Ye Jing, also made a call to the village chief in Yejia Village to explain the reasons.
He couldn’t allow the people of Yejia Village to be deceived by Ye Jing again.
Of course, it wasn’t just Beijing University; other schools also revised their lists of students going abroad after speaking with Jiang Wenxu and investigating some matters.
The medical university similarly announced its list.
Song Yi was prominently at the top.
The school gave people three days, and after those three days, it would be time for the group to go abroad for their studies.
After learning about this timeline, Xu Jinning also left more time for her sister and brother-in-law, allowing them to be together as much as possible in these final three days.
Three days may not seem long or short.
But for those who are about to part ways, three days seemed to pass quickly, almost as if in the blink of an eye.
During these three days, Xu Fanghua did not bring up any topics of reluctance. Instead, she accompanied Song Yi on various shopping trips, checking if there was anything missing, and packed Song Yi’s belongings, ensuring that he wouldn’t lack anything on the other side of the ocean.
She prepared everything she could think of and bring.
Perhaps Xu Fanghua was trying to keep herself busy, believing that staying occupied would prevent her from being overwhelmed by her emotions.
Otherwise, she feared that she would become reluctant and want Song Yi to stay.
But she couldn’t; Xu Fanghua reminded herself that she absolutely must not be swayed by her feelings.
Soon, the three days passed.
The day arrived, a beautiful and sunny one. Perhaps due to an early morning rain, the sky was now clear and bright blue, as if it had been washed clean.
For the Beijing Airport today, it was a special day.
It was the day for the first batch of students going abroad to study after the restoration of the college entrance examination.
This was destined to be a special and significant day. All the people seeing them off wondered how many future valuable talents or scientists might emerge from this group.
At present, they were like seedlings. The country was sending them to an environment that would help them grow, allowing them to absorb nutrients and thrive, hoping that one day they would grow into towering trees and eventually give back to the nation.
With such expectations, every teacher’s eyes were filled with eager anticipation.
They even looked beyond this moment, envisioning the future years, even decades, ahead.
Although boarding time hadn’t arrived yet, there was little time left for family farewells.
Among the students going abroad, Song Yi stood out in terms of height, demeanor, and appearance.
He stood there with a dignified and refined presence.
But…
At that moment, looking at his wife, his eyes unknowingly grew red.
In the end, he couldn’t hold back. He pulled Xu Fanghua into his embrace and held her tightly.
“Fanghua, I wish you could become smaller so that I could carry you with me wherever I go.”
“Fanghua, why don’t you come with me?”
Xu Fanghua, both crying and smiling, patted his hand and said, “You, even at this time, are still saying such silly things.”
“Ayi, actually, I’m reluctant to part with you too.” As she spoke, tears finally fell from the corners of Xu Fanghua’s eyes.
Recently, Xu Fanghua felt that her emotions were more sensitive, and she would sometimes cry over things.
But she didn’t dare let Song Yi see or know.
She feared that he would worry and want to stay.
It was only at this moment of imminent separation that she dared to voice her reluctance.
Seeing Xu Fanghua in this state, Song Yi felt a deep pang of heartache.
“Fanghua, how about I…” But before Song Yi could finish his sentence, Xu Fanghua covered his mouth.
“Ayi, don’t worry about me. I have Ningning here to look after me.”
Song Yi removed her hand, and with a sigh, he nodded in agreement.
At this moment, the teachers were urging all the students going abroad to start boarding.
Song Yi, however, tightly held onto Xu Fanghua’s hand, his eyes fixed on her, afraid to miss even a moment.
“Ayi, be good and let go.”
“But you must remember to write to me.”
“And…”
Xu Jinning, watching this scene from the side, couldn’t help but think it resembled a modern-day version of a mother sending her child off to kindergarten.
At that moment, Song Yi suddenly turned his head, seemingly about to say something to her.
Xu Jinning quickly spoke up, “Brother-in-law, don’t worry. I’ll take good care of my sister and make sure she writes to you.”
“I won’t let any ill-intentioned men come near my sister.”
“Brother-in-law, you can rest assured.”
Song Yi: …Although the content of what she said was exactly what he wanted to remind her, the last part sounded a bit strange.
In the end, Xu Fanghua managed to pry Song Yi’s hand away.
Song Yi became the last person to board the plane.
“Fanghua, wait for me to come back!”
With the roar of the plane’s engines, the aircraft carrying hopes and dreams took off…
The plane was airborne, but Xu Fanghua did not immediately leave.
Xu Jinning stayed with her, knowing that her sister needed time to process.
After a while, Xu Fanghua’s emotions began to calm slightly, and she said to Xu Jinning, “Ningning, let’s go back.”
“Okay.”
However, as soon as she turned around, Xu Jinning saw Xu Fanghua’s eyes close, and she started to collapse to the ground.
Xu Jinning was alarmed and quickly caught her. “Sister, what’s wrong?”
“Is there anyone who can help?”
Xu Jinning urgently called for assistance from those nearby. Fortunately, some teachers who were still present hurried over to help…
