"Twenty-eight... That's a good age. Only four years older than our Ziqing. You're a teacher? At Beijing University, too? You weren't Ziqing's teacher, were you?"
Qi Mingyang smiled. "I was, but Ziqing is going to be a graduate student."
"A graduate student?"
It wasn't just Mrs. He who was confused; this was the first time Xue Yue had heard the term as well.
He Ziqing explained, "The school just announced in November that they're recruiting a group of graduate students. It means continuing my studies. I've already signed up."
Qi Mingyang nodded. "It's just a higher level of education."
Xue Yue seemed to understand. "That's amazing."
Mrs. He didn't understand all that. After listening for a moment, she changed the subject. "How long have you two been seeing each other?"
He Ziqing's face flushed as she glanced at Qi Mingyang. 'How am I supposed to answer that?' she thought. 'Since yesterday?'
