The two lived like this for three years. Although they never explicitly stated their relationship, they both knew what it was all about.
As graduation approaches, Cheng Ye begins to think about his future development, while Xiao Feiran, far away in Jiufeng Mountain, also begins to think about their future together.
She looked at the sheet of paper in front of her, which was covered in writing, and her mind started to race.
Xiao Feiran really wanted to ask Cheng Ye, but she was afraid of getting an answer she didn't want. So he went about his business, and Xiao Feiran was also thinking about her own things. Neither of them had a good time.
With winter break just around the corner, Xiao Feiran finally heard Cheng Ye say in the group chat that he was going home for his internship.
Even on the way to pick him up, Cheng Ye was revising his thesis.
Watching him frantically type on the keyboard and switch pages from time to time, he seemed to be in a great hurry.
Xiao Feiran asked, "Didn't we just start our vacation? Is your graduation thesis in such a rush?"
Cheng Ye took a deep breath and looked at the document on the screen before replying, "Actually, it's not a rush, it's just that I'm in a hurry. I want to finish this quickly so I can go find a job."
They had just started talking about work when Xiao Feiran glanced at him and asked, "Are you planning to come back for an internship, or will you work here from now on and not come back to Chunming?"
Cheng Ye said decisively, "Of course I'll stay. You're all here, I'm not going anywhere."
After so long, there was finally an answer, and Xiao Feiran's heart calmed down.
She was relieved, but Cheng Ye in the passenger seat still seemed to have something on his mind.
It has to be said that Cheng Ye's execution ability is really strong. He sent the second draft of his thesis to his supervisor within a week of returning home, and also found an internship.
While eating, Cheng Zhi was looking at her salary and benefits on her phone. After seeing it, she felt completely overwhelmed.
"8 to 5, one day off a week, no overtime pay, and this is all the salary? Bro, are you crazy?"
Cheng Ye shrugged helplessly. "Do I have a choice? Fresh graduates don't have a choice at all. I'll just consider it as gaining experience."
Seeing how anxious he was, Qi's mother comforted him, saying, "Why are you in such a hurry? You can look for someone after the New Year."
Cheng Ye gently shook her head. "I'm already so old, I don't want to wait any longer."
When the topic of age came up, Mr. and Mrs. Cheng, who had been eating quietly across from each other, started to talk.
Looking at Cheng Ye and Xiao Feiran, Cheng's mother said, "I'm not trying to pressure you, I'm just curious, after all these years, haven't you two liked anyone? Haven't you found anyone you'd like?"
Upon hearing this, Cheng Ye stopped what he was doing and secretly glanced at Xiao Feiran.
Xiao Feiran stopped eating and smiled, saying, "There are only a few people in my workplace, so there really aren't any."
Cheng Ye withdrew his gaze. He didn't want to lie, so he finished his food and ran away.
Cheng Ye ran away, so the two sisters took on the responsibility of washing the dishes.
As Cheng Zhi rubbed her hands together, she said, "How about we ask Qi Yanche to introduce you to someone? He said there are a lot of single men in their department."
Xiao Feiran was scrubbing a pot with a steel wool pad. She smiled and shook her head, "Alright, I'm really happy like this. You should think more about yourself instead of worrying about me."
"What else could be wrong with her?" Cheng Zhi asked, puzzled. "I'm already married, what else could be wrong?"
Xiao Feiran gestured in front of her belly, "You two haven't had a baby yet, have you?"
"So that's what it is," Cheng Zhi shook her head indifferently. "We never planned to have any. Who knows what might happen next? It's better not to have children so easily. It's enough for us to live our lives well."
Now that everyone has a job, the two of them have even less time to chat.
The defense was scheduled for the end of April, and Cheng Ye was still at work the day before she was to return to school.
After getting off work, Xiao Feiran even bought some bread to bring back for Cheng Ye to eat in the car.
Just as I reached the door, I heard a sound of someone slamming a table inside.
Xiao Feiran put her hand on the door, wanting to go in, when Cheng Zhi came out and hooked her arm around her shoulder, leading her out of the building.
Xiao Feiran glimpsed Cheng Ye's back and Cheng Ye's angry mother through the crack, and quickly asked, "What happened? Did Mom and Cheng Ye have a fight?"
Cheng Zhi's eyes were a little red. She nodded and said, "Yes, it's because of work. My mother wanted him to quit as soon as he came back and find another job, but he wanted to keep working. Then the two of them argued."
The work matter wasn't a huge issue, but it wasn't insignificant either. Xiao Feiran nodded, thought for a moment, and said, "I'll go and try to persuade them, so they don't get really angry."
Seeing that Xiao Feiran was about to turn back, Cheng Zhi quickly stopped her, "Oh, don't go. You know how stubborn Cheng Ye is. Even Mom can't persuade him."
Cheng Ye stood silently in front of the room, while her mother across from her wept uncontrollably, "Of all the people in this world, why did it have to be Fei Ran?"
“She hasn’t had a good life for many years. If things don’t go well between you two, she will definitely leave, given Fei Ran’s personality! How can you bear to let her lose her lover and her family at the same time!” Cheng’s mother patted her chest, trying to calm herself down.
Cheng Ye took two steps forward and squatted down in front of her mother. "Mom, I really mean it. You know I'm not an unreliable person. I really want to spend my life with her."
Cheng's mother knew her son's character well.
She took a deep breath and tapped Cheng Ye's chest. "Heaven is watching what people do. You can't let others down. You have to live well after you've made your choice, otherwise I'll really feel uneasy."
Cheng Ye nodded solemnly, "I will."
In the evening, Cheng Ye packed just two simple clothes and prepared to leave.
