Canglan sighed softly, "Brother, I know, but I have reasons why I have to go back!"

"Alright then! Brother Cang, I wish you a safe journey and that you and your wife grow old together." As Canglan's old friend, he naturally knew about Canglan and Jiaqi's relationship.

In fact, the story of Canglan and Luo Jiaqi has always been a well-known tale in their department. He had personally witnessed the young couple treating each other with respect and walking hand in hand.

"I will! Thank you!" Canglan's eyes were also a little red.

By this time, the helicopter had finished unloading its cargo and was ready to take off.

"Take care, brother!" Canglan patted him on the shoulder.

"Take care, Brother Cang!"

As the sun set, Canglan finally boarded the helicopter back to H country. Although it had been less than a year since he arrived in A city, it felt like a lifetime had passed.

"Goodbye, Brother Cang, take care!" The helicopter's rotors started spinning; it was about to take off.

"I definitely will! You all go back now!" Canglan waved his hand repeatedly.

As the helicopter took off, the people on the ground moved further and further away. Canglan finally looked away, and her mood changed from disappointment to undisguised excitement.

"How long will it take us to reach H country?" This was the 28th time Canglan had asked this question.

The helicopter pilot finally couldn't help but tease, "Brother Cang, don't worry, we've only just set off. We'll reach the coastline in about a day."

"Okay, okay, I understand." Canglan said apologetically. He knew he was being too anxious, but the closer they got to H country, the more anxious he became.

"Alright! I can understand, after all, he's busy going to see his fiancée!" The driver smiled knowingly.

"Mmm!" Canglan's face flushed, and her memories slowly drifted back to her student days.

He first met Jiaqi at the beginning of his sophomore year, when Jiaqi was his junior.

He would never forget that summer when Jiaqi appeared before him for the first time, pulling her suitcase.

She wasn't very tall, but she had fair skin, a pair of playful and clear almond-shaped eyes on her apple-shaped face, and possessed the gentle grace unique to women from the Jiangnan water towns, while also adding a touch of charming cuteness.

Because of the heat, her bangs stuck to her fair and full forehead.

The moment she appeared at the school gate, Canglan was struck dumb. His eyes were fixed on her, as if all the surrounding scenery did not exist, and the whole world consisted only of her slowly walking towards him.

His heart pounded with excitement, his whole body felt like it was being electrocuted, and his mouth was dry from the rapid heartbeat.

He knew this was called love at first sight.

The story that follows is quite cliché; it's just an ordinary story of a senior falling in love with a junior.

Their love blossomed, but remained within the bounds of propriety. For three whole years, the two lived a happy and sweet life together.

But Cang Nan didn't know at the time that her identity was actually quite extraordinary.

He thought that by standing out from the fierce competition, he was already a chosen one.

However, in the eyes of some people, highly educated individuals are simply too numerous to be anything special.

No matter how intelligent he is, there are things he cannot overcome. These things are called class, an insurmountable barrier that ordinary people cannot cross even in ten lifetimes.

He first learned about Jiaqi's family background when he was about to graduate from university.

Jiaqi excitedly took him to meet her parents.

He will never forget the shock he felt that day: the extended Lincoln, the private driver, the huge villa of thousands of square meters, and the guards standing at the door.

These scenes, which he usually only saw on television, were actually appearing before his eyes.

Although her parents didn't say a single impolite word throughout the entire conversation, the arrogance in their eyes clearly expressed their attitude.

After dinner, Jiaqi's father asked him to stay behind alone.

"Child, you are very talented, but you are not suitable for Jiaqi. I will be frank with you, I hope you can leave her!"

"That's impossible!" He refused without hesitation, young and impetuous at the time.

“I knew you would refuse. You’re still young! You think that so-called love can break through all worldly views. If you really care about her, then you should leave her and not become a stumbling block to her future,” Jiaqi’s father said earnestly.

"I won't agree. You're clearly looking down on me."

Jiaqi's father wasn't angry. Instead, he continued, "I know you'll refuse, but think about it carefully. If you were with Jiaqi, what could you give her? A mundane life? Or your so-called illusory love?"

“I was young once too, and I loved passionately once too. But as I matured, I realized that love is all illusory. Only power and supreme honor are the most important things. Are you really sure Jiaqi wants to live a mundane life forever?”

“Jiaqi has been pampered since she was a child. Her hands have never even touched soapy water. Washing hands and cooking for a day or two is called romantic, but washing hands and cooking for ten or eight years is called vulgar. Do you really have the heart to drag her into the mundane world?”

"You clearly despise me for being powerless and without influence, yet you still come up with so many excuses. You are the truly shameless ones!" Cang Nan shouted.

"That's absolutely right. We look down on you because you're powerless and without influence. Is being powerless and without influence something to be proud of? Something that others used to want but couldn't have?"

“As a man, if you have ambition, you should develop yourself and earn respect from others, instead of wallowing in self-pity here.” Jiaqi’s father’s words were resounding, leaving Canglan speechless.

The mismatch between social status and family background is one of the most realistic things in the world, yet he simply cannot deny it.

Then came a long battle with her family, lasting a full six years.

He exerted all his efforts, overcame countless difficulties, and finally passed the exam to enter a core department, where he worked tirelessly day and night.

Only then did they gain the approval of Jiaqi's family, who allowed them to get engaged.

During this process, his girl also endured the same pressure.

She could have followed her family's arrangements and found a boy of equal social standing, but instead, she went against her entire family for him.

It's fair to say that it wasn't easy for him and Jiaqi to get engaged.

Jiaqi must be extremely worried about not being able to contact him for so long.

He is now extremely eager to return home.

After a day and a night of flight and rest, the helicopter finally reached the coastline, which is the border of country H and a transit point for supplies from country H to city A.
