After Marrying the Officer Chapter 516: An Old Acquaintance

Mrs. Gu thought for a mont, then said to Xia Chuyi, "How about this, I’ll have Jiaye talk to your departnt to ask for so ti off for you."

Xia Chuyi was very surprised.

"Really? Is that possible? Thank you, Master!"

Mrs. Gu smiled and said, "What’s there to thank? We’re all family."

Xia Chuyi felt a bit embarrassed by this remark.

Mrs. Gu continued, "Actually, I’ve noticed that your academic performance far exceeds others."

"You always manage to learn the most content in the shortest amount of ti."

"For a child like you, I actually advocate that you could complete all the credits within two years and graduate early."

Xia Chuyi was sowhat astonished, "Is that really possible?"

Mrs. Gu nodded and said, "You’re very clever, child. I’ll have Jiaye talk about it, and as long as you can complete the credits, it would be possible."

In her heart, Xia Chuyi grinned: it wasn’t by the ans of "shortest ti" per se; she had used the ti when space was at a standstill to make up for the lack of ti in the external world.

To put it plainly, while others might only have a day to fully grasp the knowledge, she could wait in the space until she fully assimilated it before stepping out.

In a way, she was "cheating," though this "cheat" was earned through her diligence and sweat.

However, upon hearing Mrs. Gu’s words, she beca concerned about another matter.

"Master, can I really graduate early?" Xia Chuyi asked Mrs. Gu.

If she could graduate earlier, she would have more ti to do what she wanted.

After all, being a student did make it inconvenient for her in many aspects.

Most notably, the inconvenience regarding ti.

Mrs. Gu smiled and said, "As long as you can ensure you complete the credits."

"However, if so, it will be a bit tight, and indeed tiring."

Xia Chuyi thought to herself: with the space at her disposal, she was not worried about ti at all.

"Thank you, Master, I understand," Xia Chuyi sincerely said to Mrs. Gu, "For the leave, I’ll have to trouble Professor Bao."

Mrs. Gu smiled again, "You child, you are always so polite."

But a polite and clever child always endears themselves to others.

Mrs. Gu was growing fonder of Xia Chuyi by the day.

"Speaking of which, Chuyi, you and I really have a connection."

"You see, you look like Aunt Ning, which gives a sense of familiarity, not to ntion you’ve studied Gu Embroidery..."

Mrs. Gu sighed and continued, "I won’t hide it from you, at first I thought you had only learned the basics of Gu Embroidery."

"After I began teaching you, I realized that your foundational skills are actually very solid."

"Especially so of the stitching techniques, it’s clear they co from a certain heritage..."

At this point, Mrs. Gu paused for a few seconds before continuing, "Your stitching techniques remind irresistibly of soone."

"Remind you of soone?" Xia Chuyi’s first reaction was surprise, followed by curiosity.

Xia Chuyi rembered the Linglong Embroidery Needle Set that Mrs. Gu had given her.

Because in her previous life, the Master had also given her one, and she had her suspicions at that ti.

Xia Chuyi’s eyes flickered as she asked, "Master, who is the person you’re talking about?"

Mrs. Gu shook her head, not revealing who that person was, only saying, "An old acquaintance... In earlier years, our family was not doing well, and I don’t know if she is still around."

"Perhaps, in this lifeti, we won’t be able to et again."
