Chapter 171 Boston
College life was much busier than Su Xia had imagined.
During the military training at the end of August, Tsinghua University’s iconic 20-kilometer night training hike gave her a wake-up call. After the fierce battle for course selection, her originally blank schedule was instantly filled with various professional and general courses.
A fierce battle among top universities.
She was able to ride the east wind to get here, but she couldn't continue to ride the wind to pass every exam.
During the entire freshman year, Su Xia was busy almost every day, juggling her studies with art troupe training and performances. Even the routine weekend dinner plans with He Miao had to be put on hold and they only met once a month.
The sophomore year was a little better. After the summer vacation, the horns of the bar exam and internship had sounded again, and I had to wind up again.
Su Xia was almost numb from staying up late.
I went out to watch a movie with my friends. I lasted half of the movie and then fell asleep while holding my milk tea. He Miao then took me to a hot pot restaurant to sit down.
"Is this movie so boring? I think it's okay."
The lead actor is a young actor that He Miao has recently fallen in love with. Su Xia tries to make amends, "No, I'm just sleepy."
"It's a really good movie. I watched it for half an hour before falling asleep. Your acting is quite remarkable."
He Miao gave a thumbs up and said, "Your Majesty's vision is always good."
She stared at her friend's delicate little face, which was the size of a palm, and looked left and right. "The Red Circle is really not a place for people to stay. Have you lost weight recently?"
Su Xia casually replied, "Is there?"
"Obviously alright."
He Miao said, "Do you still remember that photo of you being photographed at the freshman welcome party when you were performing in a ensemble? The title on the Shuimu Forum was something like 'Human Peaches, the Law School Goddess Arrives'."
"At that time, many people around me reposted my article, saying that you can win the court battle just by smiling, and you can defeat the enemy without fighting."
"No need to laugh now," she shook her head and said seriously, "You now have the inherent pressure of Tsinghua University. Sister Su Xia will win wherever she goes."
Su Xia's eyes curved, "Where's Sister He Miao?"
"Sister He Miao has been building up her network at the TV station lately so she can be the first to cover your major victory in the future."
Her smile deepened, and a pair of dimples appeared.
After a brief pause, He Miao couldn't help blinking and asked the classic question that must be asked every once in a while.
"...Have you met with Xu Shen?"
The hot pot was boiling red, Su Xia took out a piece of meat and chewed it with puffy cheeks.
After swallowing it, he asked, "Are you talking about real people?"
He Miao: "What do you think?"
Su Xia shook her head obediently, "No."
She found it incredible.
They were in the same school, but she had never seen Xu Jiqing once in two years.
He was abruptly transferred to the Yao Class in Mathematical Competition, and has firmly occupied the throne of the top genius since the class placement test. Even though Tsinghua University is full of highly intelligent people, he is famous enough.
The most recent one was last year’s Tsinghua University Undergraduate Special Scholarship Defense.
At that time, Xu Jiqing was already on the other side of the ocean communicating, and the defense was completed online.
Su Xia got behind the bed curtains early in the morning with her computer and followed the entire live broadcast from beginning to end. She didn't understand any of the professional terms, but just took screenshots of the even colder and more handsome face from time to time, her heart pounding.
Well, I still like him very much.
Even if we don't meet face to face, just hearing his name from others or looking at him through the camera will make my chest warm.
"This is the first time I've seen a young couple who got into the same university end up living a worse life than an in-country couple."
He Miao paused, "Help! I suddenly remembered that he is really in Massachusetts now. You are having a hard time."
"What on earth did Auntie talk to him about at that time? He couldn't have said he would make five million before coming to see my daughter..."
“Probably not that many.”
Su Xia thought about it seriously, "I don't know if it counts, but in my second year of high school, my mother gave me a necklace and said that she would only be with me if I could afford a diamond as expensive as hers."
He Miao had no idea about jewelry and just asked, "How much?"
Su Xia whispered, “A little over a hundred?”
He Miao was speechless for a moment, covering his face with his hands, "I really feel pity."
"Even if he graduates early next year and gets a fantastic offer, it'll take him some time to save up enough. Queen Mother, Guanyin Bodhisattva, and the God of Wealth, please bless our Majesty and the King's wife. God will reward hard work and bring wealth and treasure."
The girl put her hands together and spoke in an exaggerated tone.
Su Xia was also infected and immediately put down her chopsticks, "Then I will bow too."
Although she sometimes thought that the emperor was far away and the sky was high, even if they were secretly in love in college, Su Xiaojuan would not know.
But Xu Jiqing attaches great importance to promises.
He might have really agreed to some conditions from Su Xiaojuan, and worked hard without her seeing him so that they could walk further hand in hand in an upright manner.
Such a silent man, with such a restrained and speechless heart, even if the whole world doesn't understand him, she will understand.
But after not seeing each other for so long, she couldn't help but pray quietly in her heart:
Let’s meet soon.
She wanted to tell him in person how much she missed him.
-
Maybe the prayers on this day were heard by God.
The temperature in Beijing was getting cooler, and on a day when the ginkgo leaves on campus were at their brightest yellow, Su Xia and all the students in the art troupe were invited to go to Boston University for an exchange performance.
The performance was performed half by the two school orchestras.
As the principal cellist of the Chinese school, Su Xia not only played new folk music pieces, but also performed an impromptu encore "River Flows in You" with the pianist from the friendly school amid the warm cheers of the teachers and students.
After the curtain call, the sun had already set.
The other art troupe organized everyone to go to bars around the school to relax, dance and chat together.
Su Xia wore a low-key dress today, her long hair tied up low, and the flower-wrapped hairpin she wore was unobtrusive. But her eyes were full of smiles, and her dimples were like honey, giving her an indescribable bright oriental charm.
As soon as you enter the door, it's as if you have your own spotlight and are chatted up from beginning to end.
She didn't know how many people she had told that she was not single, but the pianist who played with her during the encore still didn't believe her, "Do you have any photos with him?"
She really didn't have that.
Before Su Xia could respond, another cellist from the group popped up and came to the rescue, "Our concertmaster's boyfriend is very handsome and amazing. He always sends flowers to every performance. So many flowers."
The girl opened the photo album on her phone and showed the blond boy some photos she had taken in Berlin in the first half of the year.
"See? From the dressing room to the curtain call, to the front and back halls of the auditorium, all these hydrangeas were sent by him."
"Where did you get the flowers in front of the concert hall today? Are the school leaders obsessed with greening things?"
In the past two years, there have been more and more Endless Summers, which are not signed, but are known to those who have close contact with Su Xia.
What's more, in their class, there is no one who has not heard of Xu Jiqing's name.
Because of this, even though Su Xia was picked up from the confession wall every few days, there would be no further news after her name was picked up.
No one dared to chase after him.
