The airport is crowded with people.
Nie Mi's identity is noble. Fortunately, many young people are not particularly familiar with intangible cultural heritage, so they naturally cannot recognize this master.
Nie Mi came alone without bringing anyone with him. He wore simple clothes designed for comfort. There were few brand-name items on his body, which made him look even more inconspicuous.
He acted like an ordinary old man sending his granddaughter out, his eyes revealing concern, and his words were tougher than anyone else's: "I don't know what you are busy doing outside all day long, but it's probably something dangerous. You, can't you let me and your Aunt Yuan worry less?"
"When you stay out alone and don't come back, we often can't sleep well, fearing that something bad might happen to you. If you say something has happened to you, what will your Aunt Yuan do?"
"She has been childless for many years, so she treats you as her own daughter. Don't tell me you don't know."
Qiao Nian pulled down his cap and said in a much more honest manner: "I will take good care of myself."
Nie Mi glared at her: "Can't you just tell me... not to go to dangerous places?"
"… "
Qiao Nian couldn't guarantee this to him.
Nie Mi watched her avoid his gaze and sighed, "Hey! I don't want to say anything to you. Just remember that there are still many people in Beijing who are worried about you. Don't be so distracted all day long and be more careful."
Qiao Nian was not annoyed by his lecture and agreed in a good-tempered manner: "Okay."
Nie Mi glared at her again: "I just asked you to stay, why aren't you happy about it? You really are... forget it, just leave, or you'll kill me with anger all day!"
Qiao Nian took out a small bottle from his pocket and handed it to him, pressing it into his hand: "Remember to take one pill a month to keep healthy."
"Hehe." Nie Mi reluctantly accepted the small pill she gave him and said bluntly, "If you don't know how to study at Tsinghua University, Mr. Huang won't want you as his student anymore."
Qiao Nian dropped out before finishing his freshman year.
My sophomore year is almost over and I haven’t finished my vacation yet.
If it weren't for the fact that he and Mr. Huang valued talent, they would have wanted to fail this only student.
Qiao Nian smiled softly, resting his hand on his cheek: "Well, I'll do it as soon as possible."
"See? I trust you?" Nie Mi's words were harsh, but in fact, he was too worried about her safety outside.
Seeing that Qiao Nian had made up her mind, he stopped nagging and went to find Ye Wangchuan to give him some advice.
Qiao Nian breathed a sigh of relief when she saw him let her go.
"Hey, have a drink of water." Guan Yan just handed over a cup of iced cola bought at the airport. He also took a cup in his hand and drank slowly with his head tilted back. His eyes fell on Nie Mi from afar, thinking deeply: "Now I understand why you can't let go of Beijing. If I had so many people caring about me, I would probably feel a sense of belonging to this place too!"
The relationships between people in most parts of the world are not as deep and intimate as those in Country Z.
Everyone may have the closest relationship, but compared with these feelings, they emphasize self-freedom more, and there is not a deep bond between family members.
However, she and Qiao Nian have deeply felt the enthusiasm of this land during the past few days in Beijing. Everyone here is no longer an independent individual.
The passionate feelings that people have for their hometown, relatives and friends sometimes even override their personal needs. It was quite novel for Guan Yan when he encountered this for the first time.
Qiao Nian took the Coke she handed over, leaned against the airport railing and asked, "Where's Qin Si? Did you guys finish your chat?"
Qin Si will not go to Independent Island with them this time, and will stay in Beijing.
