Gu Lanshi did not answer whether he knew her, but confirmed again: "Are you really Li You?"
Li You admitted: "I am."
Gu Lanshi suddenly laughed, which made Li You feel confused.
Just listen to Gu Lanshi say: "I have heard the teacher mention you many times."
Li You opened his eyes wide, and his tone was even more surprising than when Gu Lan called her name directly: "My father mentioned me in front of you, many times?"
"Yes." Gu Lanshi looked at Li You sincerely: "The teacher said that he has a very... lively daughter."
Li You immediately heard the implication: "Hey, you don't have to be so subtle. My liveliness gives my dad a headache. I know this myself."
After saying that, Li You turned to look at her father and asked, "Really, Dad?"
Li Huaisheng replied calmly: "Yes, I have peaches and plums all over the world, and I grow bitter melons at home."
Li You turned his head and shrugged towards Gu Lanshi: "You heard me, I am the bitter melon that my dad grew at home."
"I find that your personality is much more interesting than what the teacher said." Gu Lanshi's tone was very gentle: "Also, don't belittle yourself, you are excellent."
Li You: "When I hear it, it's just a polite compliment. You've never heard of me before, so you just say I'm excellent."
Gu Lan just smiled and said nothing.
Thinking of what happened just now, the smile on Gu Lanshi's lips dropped, and there was an apologetic tone in his tone: "I should have thought of your identity from the moment I saw you come in. It was my own reaction that was too slow."
"Why are you so slow? If you were all slow, wouldn't I be mentally retarded?" After saying that, Li You also took the initiative to apologize: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have lied to you."
Gu Lanshi shook his head, his voice as gentle as before: "It's okay."
Li Huaisheng coughed lightly: "Now that we all know each other, what should we do next? Let's have lunch together."
Gu Lanshi immediately said hello, then turned to ask Li You: "What kind of jobs are you going to be involved in? If there is anything you can't handle, you can ask me."
Li You: "I'm just taking a look and doing some research. Don't worry, I'll take the initiative to ask you if you don't understand."
There were still more than three hours until noon, and it was still early before lunch. Next, Li You continued to look through the research done by Gu Lanshi. If he had any doubts, he would take the initiative to ask Gu Lanshi. After this, she called him
Brother.
It is impossible to avoid contact with colleagues, but Li You also has a sense of proportion and knows to keep a certain distance from each other. Especially now that she has a boyfriend, although her words and deeds are mixed with childishness, her behavior is very appropriate.
On the way home in the car at night.
Li You is a little tired and feels shaky. He usually sits down when he goes to school and has a lot of free time, but today he spends more time standing and is always running around. He is learning from Gu Lan how to come to the embassy for help.
of overseas Chinese...
She rubbed her belly and legs. Although she was very tired and wanted to clear her mind, she still couldn't help but think about tomorrow's exam.
As she was thinking about it, she suddenly heard her father ask her: "Today I worked with your senior brother for the first time. What was your impression of him?"
Li You answered directly without thinking: "Senior brother is very good."
After answering, Li You realized what he had just said and turned around and asked, "Dad, are you planning to train Gu Lan to be your successor?"
Li Huaisheng's answer was ambiguous: "Xiao Gu is indeed my favorite disciple now."
"What about me, your daughter?" Li You pouted.
Li Huaisheng snorted: "You have no say in this bitter melon."
Li You also imitated her father's tone and hummed: "Fortunately, there is no longer the hereditary system. If it had been before, you would have sighed every day when you thought about me inheriting your mantle."
It's hard for Li Huaisheng to disagree: "Although you are not motivated in other aspects and your performance in all aspects is mediocre, one good thing is that you are quite self-aware."
Li You: "..."
The loss from my own father is a real loss!

Li You had to take an exam the next day and did not go to the embassy.
Pei Jingzhou came to Country T on the third day, and Li You didn't go to the embassy again for the next half month because she had been working hard to learn T Mandarin.
Li You currently speaks three languages, the best of which are Chinese and English. She has been exposed to T Mandarin for a year and a half, but she has never been able to speak it very well. She understands that the most important thing is not to speak T Mandarin well.
Expand your vocabulary and memorize commonly used words.
So she has been studying T Mandarin well for the past half month.
Li You's learning ability is very fast. This is not a talent. As long as she pays attention and studies seriously, she will definitely do well. In just half a month, she has been able to memorize everything she had never been able to fully remember before.
Memorize common words thoroughly.
Half a month later she finally showed up at the embassy.
Gu Lanshi was a little surprised when he saw her coming: "I thought you would never come again before graduation."
"How could it be?" Li You's face was filled with confidence: "I have been studying T Mandarin seriously during this period, and I also signed up for the intermediate T Mandarin exam."
Gu Lanshi handed her a cup of freshly brewed coffee. Hearing this, the corner of his mouth raised a smile that was even more unexpected than before: "I remember the first day you came to the embassy, you were still worried and said you didn't know when you could pass the junior exam.
T Mandarin.”
"Haha~ Today is different from the past~"
Li You's tone was very brisk. She took the cup of coffee that Gu Lan handed her and said, "Thank you, don't make me coffee next time. I don't like coffee very much."
Gu Lanshi nodded: "Yes, I remember."
Li You took a sip of the coffee and frowned because of the bitterness. Gu Lanshi saw it and asked, "Tea is also bitter. Why can you accept the bitterness of tea but not the bitterness of coffee?"
Li You was startled, then raised his eyes to look at Gu Lan: "Everyone has different tastes, so it shouldn't be surprising."
Gu Lanshi smiled: "Yes."

In the first few months before the New Year, Li You has been running back and forth between school and the embassy.
In just a few months, she not only completed the intermediate T Mandarin exam, but also completed the advanced T Mandarin exam a month later. In addition, she also learned E and H languages.
This year Li Huaisheng did not have to stay at the embassy and returned to China with his wife Mo Zhu and daughter Li You.
Also returning to China this time was Gu Lanshi.
When the four of them came out of the airport together, Li You saw Pei Jingzhou standing in the crowd waiting for her at a glance. He looked more mature and steady. He had not seen her for a week before the new year.
But it feels like half a year.
A joyful smile instantly appeared on her face, she stood on tiptoe, waved her hands and shouted: "Pei Jingzhou!"
Gu Lan, who was beside him, heard Li You shouting and looked in that direction, and also saw Pei Jingzhou.
This moment was also the first time he saw what Li You's boyfriend looked like since he knew that Li You had a boyfriend.
