"Your sister sent a message!" Feng Yurong, bursting with excitement, held her phone as she came out of the kitchen, her face beaming with a smile.
"She made it, she's now a real national Mecha Engineer!"
Li Zhao was attentively fiddling with his new automatic tea-making cup, a birthday present from Li Chengyi.
Hearing this, he instantly looked up, somewhat astonished and delighted.
"Really? Are you serious?"
"Would I lie about this? Even the certificate is here! Look, this is the photo!" Feng Yurong showed Li Zhao her phone.
"Wow, way to go! She finally made it!!" Li Zhao stood up, snatched the phone, and leaned in to look closely. He used both hands to zoom in on the photo to read the text on it.
"What's all this excitement about?" Li Chengyi came out from the bedroom, yawning.
He had crashed into bed and slept soundly since returning home yesterday, all the way until early this morning.
