"Congratulations, Lin. You always know how to make me proud." Professor Ivanov patted her back.
"…" Xue Lin wiped her sweats. 'I'm feeling exhausted. Why do I have to apply so much concentration? Sigh! It's as hard as driving the car and playing the piano.'
She looked at Professor Ivanov and stated, "I passed. You owe me lunch, Professor."
Professor Ivanov was pleased with her result. He told her, "Let's change the plan. You said your husband is here. I'll invite you two for dinner in the restaurant you always wanted to eat at. How's that sound?"
Xue Lin replied, "As long as I get to eat, I'm in."
Professor Ivanov smirked. 'I never fail to understand my students.'

"Dinner with your professor?" Ge Chen was reading a newspaper. When Xue Lin mentioned the dinner invitation, he gently folded the newspaper and then turned toward her. "What's the occasion?"
