This idea had already taken shape during his freshman year. This semester, his teacher mentioned it to him several times and recommended that he apply for an exchange program. He really wanted to give it a try.
From childhood to adulthood, he has always made decisions based on his own thoughts, and once he has an idea, few people can stop him. But now he is starting to have concerns. If he goes to Japan, it means he will be separated from Su Xun for a whole year.
He didn't want the two of them to be apart again.
"sorry."
"Why apologize? I think this is a great opportunity." Su Xun stopped in his tracks.
There was a row of blue shared bicycles next to them. Su Xun pushed his bike over and locked it. Pei Ke also parked his bike without saying a word.
A gentle breeze blew between the two, carrying a faint floral fragrance.
“Pei Ke, I’m with you, and I don’t want to be a burden to your progress.” Su Xun sighed. “You have your own things you like and your own principles. Even if I unreasonably pester you and force you to stay by my side this time, you will still go, won’t you? You won’t be happy in that case.”
"You're so wonderful, how could I bear to keep you tied to my side? You should pursue what you truly desire. If you give up your original plans just to be with me, then you're not the Pei Ke I love." She was attracted to him from the start, perhaps because he was different from others; he knew his goal early on and consistently worked towards it.
Pei Ke's face showed emotion, and a strange light flashed in his eyes. "You..."
"If something like this happens again, don't overthink it on your own. I'm not an unreasonable person. I'm not going to tie you up with a rope."
Su Xun punched Pei Ke's chest in annoyance; it was hard and uncomfortable.
"Thank you."
As dusk first appeared on the horizon, the setting sun, like a broken egg yolk, spread its orange-red hue in all directions, turning a large area of the sky fiery red.
The sounds of students making noise could be heard faintly in the distance, full of energy.
Actually, university life is quite short. In the blink of an eye, freshman year has passed by so quickly.
Early on, the tutor reminded them whether they planned to pursue postgraduate studies, enter the workforce directly, or contact universities abroad for further education after graduating from university. Regardless of their choice, they were encouraged to start preparing now so that they wouldn't be caught off guard when the time came.
That afternoon, Pei Ke told her about his plan.
Su Xun felt she needed to make some careful plans. Once again, she felt lost, but this time it was different from her previous moments of confusion.
In the past, no matter how helpless I felt, I always had a direction. I just needed to study hard and do well on the exams. But now I face multiple choices, and it's no longer as simple as just preparing for the exams.
Her mind was a mess, like a tangled ball of yarn rolling around everywhere.
Since starting university, she seemed to have lost her drive, as if she had reached the finish line. But after lingering in the same place for a long time, she suddenly realized that this was just the beginning.
A new beginning. Pei Ke has already set off, while I am already far behind.
From beginning to end, she seemed to be running after Pei Ke tirelessly.
This pursuit started in elementary school. Pei Ke was far ahead of her peers in every aspect. If she wanted to keep up with this person, she could only keep running and running.
Now, she needs to regroup and prepare for a new round of pursuit.
