But it's highly likely that Xu Lin won't return to his hometown in the future; he'll most likely settle down in Jiangdu. And settling down in Jiangdu means buying a house, which will cost at least ten million. Houses that cost just a few million are in relatively poor areas.

Ms. Ren has thought about it: if she buys a house for her son, she'll have to pay in full. Otherwise, what's she going to do, let her son carry a mortgage for decades? If he has a mortgage, won't he have to pinch and scrape to make ends meet? Even going out to eat occasionally would mean checking his wallet, and that wouldn't be acceptable.

Ms. Ren believes that excellent parents should strive to create an excellent environment for their children. That way, they can grow robustly. If a child comes from a family with average conditions, he might spend half his life without a stable home. The pressure modern society puts on young people is enormous. A single house can consume an entire lifetime. The world is just so realistic.

After eating enough zongzi, it was already past nine in the evening.

"I'm going to take a shower!"

Saying that, Mom went into the bathroom.

Xu Lin had just eaten and drunk his fill when he saw that Mom had already closed the bathroom door.

As the saying goes, one thinks of certain things after having a full meal.

Xu Lin looked at Rong Xiyi, who was lying on the carpet in the living room, swinging her legs, especially since her big butt was facing him.

It's hard for Xu Lin not to be moved.

"Let's go to the room!"

Xu Lin said as he went over.

"For what?" Rong Xiyi turned to ask.

"What do you think?"

"You pervert, always thinking about naughty stuff!"

"You're so pure!"

"I'm definitely purer and more innocent than you!"

Rong Xiyi said proudly.

Back in the room, Xu Lin quickly took off his clothes. Ms. Ren takes over forty minutes to bathe, so he needed to manage his time.

Xu Lin originally wanted to say something about not having senior sisters, but thought better of it to avoid making Rong Xiyi angry, which would ruin the fun later.

Xu Lin: "Anyway, you having it is fine!"

"Hmph, I only have a little bit of it!"

Rong Xiyi put her hands on her hips.

Xu Lin had a sudden impulse because he saw the electric razor he had left on the desk. It was newly bought; he had used it once that morning.

"Good girl, take off your clothes."

"Then wait for me!"

Rong Xiyi wasn't as shy as Ning Yuhuan; when it came to stripping, Rong Xiyi would really undress herself.

Soon, she was completely naked, and then Xu Lin picked up the electric razor.

"Xu Lin, what are you doing?"

Rong Xiyi's expression changed when she saw it; the electric razor was already on and buzzing.

"What do you think I'm going to do?"

Xu Lin chuckled, looking wicked. "From now on, shave it for me every ten days!"

"No way!"

"No way? You have to!"

Xu Lin grinned mischievously.

"Lie down on the bed!"

Xu Lin gave her a pat on the butt.

Rong Xiyi glared back at Xu Lin, but she understood and hurriedly did as Xu Lin said.

"Hurry up, Xu Lin!"

"I'll do my best!"

Xu Lin checked the time. He estimated Ms. Ren had about twenty-nine minutes left in her shower.

To be safe, the battle should end in twenty-five minutes.

Ultimately, Xu Lin finished in twenty-six minutes.

Four minutes later, Ms. Ren finished her shower.

Come to think of it, she was quite punctual.

Ms. Ren was leaving tomorrow, so tonight Rong Xiyi was going to sleep with her.

Later that night, when Xu Lin got up around three to use the bathroom, he passed by his mom's room and found they were still chatting.

But considering that his mom was leaving the next day, Xu Lin thought that was understandable.

The next morning, Xu Lin woke up a little after six.

Ms. Ren came to wake him up.

"Why so early?"

Xu Lin asked.

"Still not getting up?"

"I'm getting up."

Xu Lin had no choice but to get up, wash his face, and brush his teeth.

For breakfast, they had zongzi. Mom had cut them and pan-fried them again; they tasted quite good.

As Xu Lin and Rong Xiyi ate zongzi, Ms. Ren gave each of them a red envelope.

Xu Lin knew his mom was leaving today, so she would give a red envelope.

His grandfather's house is in the Eastern Guangdong Province, in the Guangdong and Guangxi regions. Before parents and children part ways there, red envelopes are given as a gesture of goodwill, symbolizing health, peace, academic success, career achievement, and so on.

Xu Lin accepted the red envelope and said, "Mom, wishing you wealth and prosperity."

"Thank you, Mom. Wishing you wealth, good health, and all the best!"

Rong Xiyi took the red envelope with both hands and added another round of blessings.

"The same for you, Yanyan. Mom wishes for your good health and safety!"

Ms. Ren laughed joyfully, feeling content as she turned to her son, "Look, you only said four words."

"Five words, fine!"

"'Mom' doesn't count; 'wishing you wealth' is only four words."

"Then I'll wish you a life as vast as the East Sea and as enduring as the mountains of the South..."

Xu Lin rattled off dozens of words but was interrupted by Ms. Ren.

"You rascal!"

His mom playfully scolded. She paused and then added, "Mom doesn't have much to say, just wishing you both health, safety, and happiness!"

They ate and drank to their hearts' content.

"Mom, we're heading to school!"

Rong Xiyi said, "When you get there, remember to send me a message!"

"Yanyan too, if anything happens, message Mom, okay?"

"Got it!"

"What about you, Xu Lin?"

Ms. Ren looked at her son.

He replied, "Safe travels. Just give me a call if you need anything; your son can handle anything now!"

"Alright, alright, my son is capable too!"

His mom felt very gratified.

And so, everyone said their goodbyes.

When Xu Lin and the others reached school, they received a message from Ms. Ren saying she had set off. She even included a photo, a picture of the steering wheel and the road ahead.

"Xu Lin, Mom's going back."

Rong Xiyi felt a bit downcast, reluctant to see her go.
