It's just chatting.
You definitely need to chat about all sorts of things.
Various topics.
Sometimes aimlessly.
Wherever your thoughts take you.
For example, now she suddenly wants to know about Dr. Xiaochuan's plans for the future.
Will he stay in the Northeast?
Or will he return to his hometown, since Dr. Xiaochuan is already in his third year of graduate school.
Graduating in June next year.
It's basically just half a year away.
"That's quite far off. Currently, my mentor's wife suggests I apply for a PhD. I'll likely stay in the Northeast for a few more years, and then decide."
Normally a PhD takes three years.
But there are also those that take six years.

We'll see when the time comes. But honestly, despite having been in the Northeast for so many years.
Deep down, I'd still prefer to return to the South.
This place can be considered my second home.
