Tao Tao hadn't slept so comfortably for a long time. There were no nightmares or disturbances. She just slept peacefully for a whole night. If it weren't for hunger, she really wouldn't want to get up.

When she woke up, Shi Ran had already gone to school, leaving Shi Guoliang alone.

Shi Guoliang was on the phone with his assistant, and his tone was very anxious. Tao Tao was so frightened that she didn't dare to speak out. It wasn't until Shi Guoliang hung up the phone that she asked weakly, "What's wrong, uncle?"

Shi Guoliang roughly wiped out the cigarette butt in the ashtray, "Something happened in the company, don't worry, where are we going to play today?"

Tao Tao looked at him hesitantly. They had been out for five or six days. Her uncle had never left the company for so long. All of this was to treat her illness.

Tao Tao looked at Shi Guoliang gratefully and said, "Uncle, why don't we go back? I miss home."

Shi Guoliang glanced at Tao Tao suspiciously, "Are you homesick? Are you missing that boy?"

Tao Tao stuck out her tongue, and Shi Guoliang sighed, "Don't rush for this day, we will go back tomorrow. We will buy some things today, and then we will go to your cousin's school to show you what a good university is.

Look, let’s see if you can study hard in the future.”

Tao Tao also laughed, "I'm going shopping, let me ask Lin Ke if he needs to bring anything." She first sent a message to Lin Ke, saying that she was in the United States, and asked Lin Ke if he needed to bring anything.

Lin Ke first sent a few ellipses to express her surprise, and then she sent a wait. Tao Tao knew that she was making a list.

So Tao Tao took this opportunity to send a message to Li Zixi and asked him if he needed any gifts.

Until Lin Ke's list was sent, Li Zixi's message hadn't come back yet, and Tao Tao was a little stunned. In the past, no matter when Li Zixi sent a message, he would reply quickly, even if they were eight years apart.

Hours of time difference.

Tao Tao even wondered if he was also in the United States, but this time Tao Tao didn't hear any news from Li Zixi until the afternoon, and she felt a little nervous.

Shi Guoliang had already discovered Tao Tao's melancholy. He was worried that something might happen to his niece, who had just improved yesterday. "What's wrong? My dear Tao Tao, is there anything unhappy about you?"

It was rare for Shi Guoliang to speak to Tao Tao in such a naughty tone. Tao Tao was amused by him. She remembered that Yu Chi always told her that she should communicate with others in a timely manner, so she confided to Shi Guoliang for the first time, "

Uncle, I sent a message to Xiao Xi at noon today, but he ignored me. What do you think is going on?"

Shi Guoliang knew that his niece was more sensitive. He smiled and said, "Silly boy, he may be sleeping, or his phone may be broken or lost. You can't take all the fault on yourself.

, My niece is so cute, it’s definitely not because of your problem.”

Tao Tao was amused by her uncle's proud tone. She recalled Li Zixi's attitude towards her and forcibly comforted herself. Maybe his phone was really broken.

Seeing that the lonely expression on Tao Tao's face disappeared, Shi Guoliang's heartbeat became normal, "Okay, good Tao Tao, you finally came to the United States. My uncle will give you a coming-of-age gift. You will need it soon."

I’m eighteen years old, let’s go to the big shopping mall here.”

Tao Tao has never found that her uncle loves shopping so much. She even wonders if her uncle is possessed by her aunt. He bought so many gifts for herself, and Lin Ke and Li Zixi's gifts were all given by Shi Guoliang.

Taotao bought it.

"Uncle, when I grow up and make money, I will definitely provide for you in old age. I will also take care of you. I will support you like my father." Eighteen-year-old Tao Tao stood on the streets of New York and vowed to Shi Guoliang.

Make a commitment.

Shi Guoliang laughed loudly, "My dear Taotao, my uncle wants to buy this whole building and give it to you."

Tao Tao laughed heartily. She had not been so happy for a long time. She could not remember exactly what happened yesterday, but she felt as if the big stone in her heart had finally fallen to the ground.

After lunch break, Tao Tao and Shi Guoliang went to Shi Ran's school. Columbia University is a private research university with a history of nearly 300 years and belongs to the Ivy League. The entire campus has various architectural styles, including Romanesque and Baroque.

Architectural styles can be seen everywhere. Tao Tao and Shi Guoliang walked on the campus that has produced many Nobel Prize winners and three U.S. presidents, feeling the strong academic atmosphere. There is a large lawn in front of the Lewisohn Hall building, and there are usually many

Students are studying, discussing, pigeons foraging, and little squirrels jumping around all add a relaxed and comfortable feeling to the campus.
