"In that case, let's... let time prove it!"

She handed the transfer order to Ji Zichen, turned around and patted the books on the table, saying, "You go to the border to accumulate military merits, and I will work hard to learn new knowledge."

"If years later I still love you, and you still love me, then come and marry me!"

Their eyes met.

Upon hearing this, Ji Zichen said: ...

He gazed at the daylily for a long while with deep eyes before nodding firmly and saying, "Okay!"

The sound falls.

He reached out and pulled the daylily into his arms.

And daylilies...

They did not refuse.

On the afternoon of the day the transfer order was issued, Ji Zichen packed his bags and boarded a train heading south.

Xuancao personally escorted him to town.

Watching him board the train and wave goodbye, Xuan Cao thought: ...

She also waved her arms vigorously, shouting to him to take care.

up.

The roar of a train could be heard.

Ji Zichen's figure gradually blurred.

Gu Guanhai, who had come with Xuancao to see Ji Zichen off, patted Xuancao's head and said, "Alright, the train has gone far away, we should go home too."

Daylily: "Mmm."

The two turned around and slowly walked out of the station.

On the road.

Gu Guanhai glanced at Xuancao, who seemed somewhat lost and dejected, and asked, "Uncle, are you?"

Upon hearing this, Xuancao asked, "Hmm?"

"I was the one who transferred him to the border."

Gu Guanhai said in a deep voice.

Daylily: ...

She looked at him silently, without saying a word.

Seeing this, Gu Guanhai withdrew his gaze and said, "He needs to be tempered, and you also need to grow."

"Xuancao, being a military wife is not an easy thing. If you decide to be with him, then you need to start learning to make yourself strong from now on."

"Just like your mother, you have your own career and the means to continue living even after you lose something!"

Upon hearing this, Xuancao said, "..."

The hand hidden under the sleeve tightened.

Gu Guanhai: ...

He turned to look at her and said, "Your older brother and sister-in-law said they have nothing left to teach you, Xuancao. You have a photographic memory and an exceptional learning ability. If you're willing..."

"I can send you to the foreign affairs department so you can learn a foreign language for a while, and then... I can find a way to send you abroad for further studies!"

Upon hearing this, Xuancao exclaimed, "!!!"

They stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

"Going abroad? For further studies?"

She pointed to herself and stammered, "Me?"

Gu Guanhai nodded, "Yes! You!"

Xuancao: "But I... I'm just a country girl who doesn't know anything, I..."

Is it really possible for her to study abroad?

City dwellers say the moon is rounder abroad.

She had never seen it, nor dared to imagine it, because before this, before being found by her biological family, she had always been a miserable girl struggling in the countryside!

Gu Guanhai chuckled upon hearing this.

She couldn't help but chuckle softly, saying, "That was the you of the past, not the you of today!"

"You show me endless possibilities!"

"Think about it first, and then tell me your answer!"

Upon hearing this, Xuancao said, "..."

He immediately frowned and fell into deep thought.

Studying abroad...

It was too far away for her.

It was completely beyond her comprehension.

Xuancao's mind was in a mess, and she didn't know what to choose at all.

Gu Guanhai: ...

Seeing her furrowed brows in a troubled expression, I smiled slightly.

What is the pain of parting?

No matter how bitter it is, just rinse it off and it won't be bitter anymore.
