"Xiao Yue, I’ve missed you so much." Zhang Minmin threw herself into Tang Yue’s arms, happily saying, "Xiao Yue, it’s all thanks to your voice acting that my character shone so brightly." Tang Yue welcomed her into the house, served some fruit, and made some hot tea. Zhang Tingyu said, "Xiao Yue, I hear you’re preparing to go to Country F as an exchange student?" Zhang Minmin was munching on grapes when she suddenly heard Zhang Tingyu’s words, her eyes nearly popping out in surprise. It wasn’t such a big deal until she listened closely and realized Tang Yue would be gone for a year. Zhang Minmin felt a sense of loss and reluctance. "So, you’re still planning on using my voice acting?" Tang Yue said with feigned displeasure. Zhang Minmin bit into a grape forcefully and said, "No, I’m not." Although she said that, Zhang Minmin’s expression clearly revealed her thoughts. Tang Yue spoke seriously, "Your voice isn’t bad either, it’s just that your Mandarin is not standard. If you practice your pronunciation properly, your voice will become more distinctive. And, don’t you want your uncles and aunts to see and hear you on TV?" Tang Yue’s words stirred something in Zhang Minmin, who murmured, "Xiao Yue, can I really improve my Mandarin?" "Of course." Tang Yue said confidently, "Minmin, your voice is actually quite distinctive as it carries our local dialect. As long as you’re willing to work hard, you’re sure to see results." "Agreed." Zhang Tingyu raised her hand and cast her vote of approval, "Minmin, even though your uncle and aunt didn’t ask you to come back, they secretly watch your shows on TV. Really, I even saw them wiping away tears. If they could hear your voice, they would be even happier. Plus, as you’re currently working hard towards your dreams, your uncle and aunt will surely come to understand one day." Zhang Minmin appeared thoughtful. Before she arrived, she was determined to pester Tang Yue to do voice acting for her, but now, after hearing Tang Yue’s words, it seemed like a string in her heart had been plucked. "Tingyu, do my parents really secretly watch my TV shows?" Zhang Minmin couldn’t help but recall the cold words from her parents during their last phone call, hastily hanging up after a few brief words. During the New Year, she had brought back gifts with her earnings, only to be chased out by her parents. Zhang Tingyu empathized and added, "The things you brought back before the New Year, your uncle and aunt have kept them." "Minmin, I personally saw your uncle and aunt secretly picking up the gifts you gave them from the trash," Zhang Tingyu seized the opportunity to speak. She hadn’t spoken before because the timing hadn’t been right, knowing that Zhang Minmin harbored some resentment towards her uncle and aunt over this. Now was the perfect moment, guided by Tang Yue’s words. Zhang Minmin, emotionally grasping Zhang Tingyu’s hand, asked, "Tingyu, is everything you said true?" Her eyes reddened with excitement. These days had been extremely hard for her; the parents who once cherished her now seemed to discard all the hard-earned money and gifts she had brought home because of her acting. "Of course, it’s true." Zhang Tingyu stated decisively, having witnessed it all with her own eyes. Having decided to go abroad, Tang Yue didn’t procrastinate. After arranging all her affairs in China, she prepared to depart early for Country F. "Xiao Yue, don’t blame Si Yu, something urgent came up at his company, so..." Mo Xiaolin’s eyes were red; it would be a year before they could meet again after this trip abroad. Si Yu is so busy with his company, it’s unlikely he’ll have time to visit her in Country F. Read full story at 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡•𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮•𝕟𝕖𝕥 Tang Yue was going to study in Country F and wouldn’t be able to return every few days. They had planned to spend some quality time together before going abroad, but an incident at Pinganda in Qing City happened. It’s been five or six days, and he still couldn’t make it to see Tang Yue off. As a mother-in-law, even after providing Tang Yue with so many things, Mo Xiaolin still felt guilty. No matter how good she was as a mother-in-law, she couldn’t compare to Si Yu. "Mom, I don’t blame him. Besides, we spent a long and happy time together during the New Year. Don’t worry, if I have time, I’ll come back to the country. Anyway, a year will pass quickly." Tang Yue consoled her. Even with a sense of loss in her heart, she understood the emergency at the company. Meng Siyu surely wanted to be there to see her off. "Aunt Mo, don’t worry, I will definitely take good care of Sister Xiao Yue." Lian Qingyang, panting, ran over with a suitcase, placing a bag in front of Tang Yue, "Sister Xiao Yue, this is some delicious food Dad especially brought for you. It tired me out—blame Dad for talking too much and making me leave late. I almost didn’t make it." Lian Qingyang grabbed a bottle of mineral water and drank it all in one go before he slowly regained his breath. "You, why are you joining in on the fun?" Tang Yue was surprised to see Lian Qingyang. She knew he was aware of her going abroad, but he never said he’d go to Country F with her. "Sister Xiao Yue, I’ve taken a few days off to escort you." Lian Qingyang said without batting an eyelid: "Also, I have relatives in Country F. It’s better for us to go together than for you to go alone without knowing anyone." "Qingyang, don’t be ridiculous." Tang Yue looked at the luggage he brought helplessly. Did he consider her as a three-year-old child? "Sister Xiao Yue, don’t you know how I do in school? Besides, we’re not at ease with you going to Country F alone." Lian Qingyang spoke enthusiastically: "My English is very good, it will surely be useful. Plus, I speak the language of Country F." Lian Qingyang explained: "I went to Country F with my aunt before and learned a bit of their language." Lian Qingyang had a decent talent for languages. After staying in Country F for a few months, he learned some everyday phrases. When he spoke them, Tang Yue was genuinely impressed. However, once they arrived in Country F, Tang Yue realized that Lian Qingyang’s proficiency in the local language was good, but limited to basic greetings and conversational dialogue. Anything deeper, and he was lost. "Xiao Yue, since Qingyang is willing, let him accompany you. We’ll be more at ease," Mo Xiaolin felt immediately relieved to see Lian Qingyang would go with Tang Yue. Even Tang Mingli was very supportive. If it weren’t for their lack of foreign language skills, Tang Mingli would have considered going with her too. However, Tang Yue persuaded him not to, and now, having Lian Qingyang accompany her made them much more reassured. The relationship between Lian Qingyang and Tang Yue was something Mo Xiaolin was well aware of, so her previous worries slowly dissipated. Over the airport speaker, the boarding announcements played again and again. "Sister Xiao Yue, let’s go," Lian Qingyang took Tang Yue’s luggage and began to push it forward. "Mom, Uncle, you guys can head back, don’t worry. I’ll call you after I get settled," Tang Yue instructed as she walked toward the boarding area, turning back to talk to Mo Xiaolin and Tang Mingli.
