I'm not sure if Lu Jia is a smart woman, but she is definitely a very thoughtful woman. So my thoughts, Lao Mi's thoughts, and my mother's thoughts were all expressed in her words.

I remained silent, knowing she hadn't finished speaking.

Lu Jia's face showed a struggle again. After a long while, she said with a melancholy smile, "I know this is probably the best opportunity of my life... If I miss this, I have no idea what the future holds... But I have to do this... I hope you can promise me that we'll give each other a year. If after a year you still feel the same way, then I'll stay in France and never come back... If you feel that after all this, I'm still an indispensable woman in your life, then we'll get married... A year isn't a long time... but it's enough for us to see many things clearly... Can you promise me that?"

Lu Jia and I looked at each other, and finally I spoke to her, "I promise you... we'll make a one-year agreement... I hope that during this year, you can focus on completing your studies."

Lu Jia nodded, then asked, "And you... what will you be doing this year?"

"I don't know... Maybe I'll stay in Dali, or maybe I'll go to a new city and find something to do again."

"Let's go to a new city..."

"Why?"

Lu Jia smiled and said, "I want to see a different you than before... Romance is nice, but it can also make a man fickle."

I stared blankly at Lu Jia, feeling completely lost... If I didn't stay in Dali, where else could I go? ... But she was right, it really was Dali that gave me so many choices in life.
