Chapter 420 There are many ways to repay a favor
When they arrived at the hot pot restaurant, the four of them were still not quiet, and Zhou Yong listened to their conversation with great interest.
Ma Yichen has always had a keen interest in the National Defense University. He dreams of entering this school and contributing his own strength to the country's security cause.
Therefore, he has been studying hard and constantly improving his abilities and qualities in order to realize his dream one day in the future.
Zhou Kexin aspires to become a doctor. She hopes to use her knowledge and skills to treat more patients and bring them health and hope.
So when she was in high school, she often used her spare time to read medical books to learn about the latest medical technologies and research results, laying a solid foundation for her future medical career.
Li Jingchu is full of passion for design. He dreams of becoming an excellent designer and creating works that will impress people.
To this end, he likes to observe things around him and draw inspiration from them. He also actively reads a lot of books on design and has been working hard to improve his design skills.
Li Jingen developed a strong interest in architecture. He dreamed of becoming an outstanding architect and designing architectural works that were both beautiful and practical.
Although the four children have different dreams, they are all full of expectations and longings for the future.
The dishes were served on the table one by one, and the four children finally ended their heated discussion about their dreams.
Zhou Yong looked at their energetic faces and felt a warm current in his heart, and he couldn't help but smile.
Ma San glanced at the four children, shook his head gently, and said with a hint of worry: "I really don't want to hit you, but reality is always cruel.
You can't set your goals so high. Think about it, what will you do if you can't get into your ideal university? ”
His words, like a sharp sword, instantly pierced the innocent fantasies of the four children and plunged them into a brief silence.
Although Ma San's words were a bit harsh and even merciless, Zhou Yong agreed with his point of view.
Seeing this, Li Caiyun smiled and broke the brief silence. She said gently, "Your Uncle Ma is right. You can't just think positively. You also need to have a backup plan."
Her words were like a warm spring breeze, gently blowing on the hearts of the four children.
Li Caiyun continued, "If you fail to study in your ideal university and major, the only options you face are to repeat the year or go to a less ideal university. But no matter which path you choose, you need to be fully prepared and planned..."
Listening to Li Caiyun's words, the four children began to think seriously about their future.
Zhou Yong felt that the atmosphere at the dinner table was a bit depressing, so he smiled and said, "Think about these things slowly when you get home. Let's eat first..."
The four children responded one after another. Ma San opened his mouth but in the end, no words came out.
The four children were absent-minded during the meal and were quite quiet after the meal.
They took the last bus back home, and in the following days, Zhou Kexin and her two siblings entered a period of waiting.
Sunrise and sunset, every day is very tormenting for them.
Time quietly entered the end of July, and on this day the college entrance examination results finally came out.
Zhou Kexin and her two siblings all achieved excellent results, and Ma Yichen's results were even better than expected.
When filling out the application form, Zhou Yong and Li Caiyun did not interfere with their children's choices, but Ma Yichen encountered a difficult problem.
He wanted to study at the National Defense University, which had been his long-cherished dream and pursuit. However, Ma San and Liu Juan made a suggestion, hoping that he could choose the same major as Zhou Kexin.
This suggestion made Ma Yichen very confused and dissatisfied: "Dad, why should I choose the same major as Zhou Kexin?"
Ma Yichen was not interested in studying medicine. He felt that he was more suitable for a profession related to national defense, such as military command, strategic research and other fields.
These majors are more in line with his personality and ambitions, and can better bring out his potential and talents.
After hearing what his son said, Ma San said, "Yi Chen, do you know? If it weren't for your uncle Zhou, Dad wouldn't be where he is today, and you wouldn't exist..."
The reason why the couple let Ma Yichen and Zhou Kexin study the same major was to bring them together in the future.
If the two of them didn't attend the same school, there would be little hope for Ma Yichen and Zhou Kexin to be together.
Therefore, Ma San expressed all the kindness Zhou Yong had shown him without reservation. He not only described in detail how Zhou Yong had lent a helping hand when he was in the most difficult time, but also told his son the truth about Zhou Kexin's situation.
Ma Yichen listened quietly. As Ma San spoke, his mood became heavier and he lowered his head gradually.
Liu Juan, who was sitting next to him, felt mixed emotions. Her eyes were moist. When she finished speaking, her voice was choked with sobs: "Yi Chen, I know it's cruel to say this to you. I know you feel bad.
But we will never forget the kindness that your uncle Zhou has shown to our family.
Only if you marry Niuniu, our family can repay some of the favor we have done...
Mom knows that you have your own ideas and life plans, but we really can’t not repay this kindness…”
Liu Juan's words were like a sharp knife, piercing deeply into Ma Yichen's heart.
Ma Yichen slowly raised his head, his eyes reddened: "Mom, but I don't like Zhou Kexin."
They were playmates and friends who grew up together, and Ma Yichen had never developed any romantic feelings for Zhou Kexin.
Ma San pursed his lips, Liu Juan wiped her eye sockets, and she sighed: "Son, you can cultivate your relationship in college..."
Ma Yichen's open hands gradually clenched into fists: "Mom, I've always treated Zhou Kexin as my own sister, how can I develop feelings with her?"
If you don’t like it, you don’t like it. You can’t force things in the relationship.
Ma San and Liu Juan looked at each other, both feeling helpless.
Ma Yichen sighed and said, "Mom and Dad, there are many ways to repay your kindness. It doesn't have to be this way.
Besides, this is just your unilateral idea. It is still unclear whether Zhou Kexin is willing or not!
And even if I agree to your request, can you guarantee that Zhou Kexin will marry me?
What if she meets someone she likes during college, wouldn’t my sacrifice become a joke? ”
What Ma Yichen said makes sense. After all, no one can predict matters of the heart.
Ma San frowned slightly: "You have no confidence in yourself?"
Ma Yichen looked helpless: "Dad, this is not a question of whether or not I have confidence in myself. It's that Zhou Kexin and I are too familiar with each other. The possibility of us being together is almost non-existent..."
Liu Juan sighed softly, and Ma San also fell silent.
Ma Yichen's voice was choked with pleading. He said, "Mom and Dad, I don't want to give up my favorite major, and I don't want to marry Zhou Kexin. Please don't make things difficult for me..."
When Ma San heard what his son said, tears instantly came to his eyes. He turned his face away, while Liu Juan's tears flowed uncontrollably.
