System: Master Your Life-Chapter 766 - 191: Xu Lin’s National Day Plans and Trip to Beijing, Xu Lin’s New Father-in-Law
Xu Lin has classes all afternoon.
"Xu Lin, the National Day holidays start on Friday, are you free then?"
In the blink of an eye, it's almost National Day again.
Rong Xiyi asked Xu Lin about this as soon as she came back from the restroom.
"I guess so."
Xu Lin decided to take a break during National Day, spend some time with these girls around him, and also take this chance to relax a bit.
Recently, Rong Xiyi has been complaining about Xu Lin not having time to be with her.
Actually, classmate Rong is bored every day, except for attending classes, studying, and going out with Xia Xiyao; the rest of the time, she just stays at home.
Whenever Xu Lin or Xia Xiyao is not around, she is just a homebody.
And recently, for some reason, Rong Xiyi suddenly got a burst of inspiration and started learning to draw. She even bought courses online. When she had nothing to do, she'd learn to draw at home. From the photos Xu Lin saw, she seemed to have some talent.
But not much.
And maybe after a while, she'll find it boring; she tends to have short-lived interests in many things.
Recently, Rong Xiyi told Xu Lin she wanted to practice yoga.
Xu Lin told her to practice at home and not to sign up for offline classes.
The yoga circle is also a mess.
The world is like that; whenever people gather, it gets messy because there are all sorts of people, both good and bad.
Rong Xiyi ordered a yoga mat and planned to start practicing once it arrived.
"Then during National Day, you must spend time with me; I want to travel!"
"I can't spend all seven days with you, at most three days."
Xu Lin thought about it; he still needed to allocate his time.
"Then three days, and we can travel together with Yaoyao."
"Sounds good."
Xia Xiyao might miss out on a day alone with Xu Lin, as he would need to spend three days with the two of them.
Xu Lin thought of this.
"Then let's set off on Thursday night!"
"Okay."
Xu Lin: "To be honest, traveling during National Day, there'll be crowds everywhere."
"But we don't have time usually; it's just this small holiday, plus, it won't be as hot in October anymore." 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞
"Alright then."
Xu Lin thought that made sense too, as he now attended classes quite casually, but Rong Xiyi was different; she still had to attend her classes.
It's worth mentioning that during Xu Lin's two semesters as a freshman, despite not attending classes often, especially in the second semester when he was hardly seen, his GPA ranked first in his major.
By GPA standards, he could qualify for the National Scholarship.
And the nomination for this scholarship was happening this month, with the results officially out in October.
A few days ago, the advisor asked him about recommending him for the National Scholarship.
But Xu Lin refused.
First, the National Scholarship is only ten thousand (since 2024, both undergraduate and specialties), which, frankly, Xu Lin could spend on a single meal at times.
Second, he often skips classes, so taking the spot feels unjustified; having the highest GPA is one thing, but skipping classes often would upset others.
Xu Lin already had special privileges at school.
Third, he thought it better to leave it for those who need it; the National Scholarship is a testament to outstanding students' achievements, something to put on a resume, but Xu Lin didn't need it for employment or to become a civil servant; better to leave the spot for someone else.
Come to think of it, in Xu Lin's class, because they were all top students from various high schools, most were diligent and self-disciplined. Especially among those from ordinary families, many were working hard to change their destinies and that of their families.
For instance, Ning Yuhuan secured the National Scholarship again during her sophomore year.
Rong Xiyi said again, "Xu Lin, I want to visit Jinling!"
"Then let's go to Jinling!"
"It's decided then!"
Soon, it was time for class.
Rong Xiyi is also the kind of student who studies seriously; she listens attentively to lectures and takes meticulous notes. Since Xu Lin doesn't take notes during class, she also takes notes for him.
In fact, Xu Lin remembers everything in his mind.
A dozen minutes after class started.
Yu Xinyan sent a message.
"Xu Lin, are you free during National Day?"
It's been a while since Xu Lin last saw Yu Xinyan; they usually just chatted on WeChat.
"I am, but not free until the fourth."
"Humph! The fourth is just in time for the Mid-Autumn Festival, Xu Lin; let's celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival together then!"
The fourth is Mid-Autumn?
Xu Lin really didn't know until he checked the calendar and realized the fourth was indeed Mid-Autumn Festival.
"Let's celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival together then."
"By the way, Xu Lin."
Yu Xinyan: "My mom is coming here for the National Day holidays; she'll be on leave, so we can celebrate mid-autumn together!"
"What about your dad?"
"My dad isn't free; he's quite busy."
Thinking about it, Yu Jianhua is a busy person; he wouldn't travel that far unless there's nothing on his schedule, and he might even have to return midway for a meeting.
Xu Lin: "I can drive and take you guys out then."
"Okay!"
On the other side, Yu Xinyan started looking forward to the National Day and shared this news with Lin Yajing.
Lin Yajing came for a seven-day visit.
Since her daughter went to college, she hadn't seen her often.
If Yu Xinyan develops her career here in the future, it'll be even harder to meet up.
Unless her daughter gets married, and then as her mom, she might retire early to help with the kids.
Otherwise, the only way to see her daughter would be through video calls.
So Lin Yajing planned to come over for a few days while she has time during the National Day holiday.
The day quickly ended.
In the evening, Xu Lin returned to his rented place by himself.
Now Xu Lin finally began focusing on his new thesis.
In the domestic sphere, the internet was abuzz, all focused on Xu Lin's new thesis.
