After the interview, the two did not go straight back to their room. Lan Qingyue and Wei Yu took a walk around the neighborhood before returning to the lavender field.
As the sun sets and the evening glow fades, the distant sky is high and vast, and a few swallows gracefully dart across the horizon, leaving behind a trail of starlight that makes one look up in awe.
The evening breeze still carried the lingering warmth of summer, seeping into the skin in wisps, making it slightly hot.
The sunset gradually faded, and even the fiery glow on the distant mountaintops was slowly obscured by the night.
Stargazing in the suburbs is a completely different experience from stargazing in the city. In the city, the neon lights are dazzling, vying with the stars for brilliance, each trying to outdo the other. But the starlight seen in the suburbs is purer and more real.
Lan Qingyue found an open space to sit down, stretched out one leg, crossed the other, supported her body with both hands behind her, and tilted her head back, her neck forming a perfect arc.
Lan Qingyue gently closed her eyes, calming herself to savor this moment of tranquility. "It feels so good to be quiet!"
"It's been a long time since I've been able to appreciate the night view so attentively. I'm busy when I'm studying, and even busier when I'm working. During my rare breaks, I stay at home and don't even want to go out. I've missed the sunrise, the brilliance of the midday sun, the magnificent sunset glow, and the starry sky at night."
"Sometimes I wonder, is it really worth it to exhaust myself every day?"
"I was so tired that I missed a lot of beautiful scenery and also missed a lot of happy times with my parents."
Sometimes when I'm too tired, I just want to get away from the hustle and bustle, lock myself in my room and enjoy a quiet, secluded moment, indulging in a luxurious sense of freedom.
As a result, I have less and less time to have a proper conversation with my family.
"Perhaps it's worth it..."
Wei Yu sat on the open ground just like Lan Qingyue. Her long hair, which reached the ground, fluttered in the evening breeze, dazzling her eyes.
She took a deep breath, her lungs filled with the fragrance of lavender, a feeling of romance and freedom from nature.
Wei Yu lowered her voice and softened her tone, saying, "Working so hard when you're young isn't just for yourself, but also for your family, so that they can have a better life. When we were young, our parents were the ones who were busy, but now that we've grown up, they shouldn't be so busy anymore, so it's our turn to work hard."
"When our sense of honor deepens, isn't it also a way of expressing gratitude to our parents?"
The thin veil of night enveloped the two beautiful figures, creating a cold and aloof atmosphere.
Sigh~
Lan Qingyue let out a barely audible sigh.
"What's wrong? Missing home?"
Wei Yu asked.
Lan Qingyue sniffed, her voice somewhat muffled, "A little."
It was more than just a little bit; Lan Qingyue was so homesick she almost cried. She hadn't felt this way even after studying in another city for a whole semester without going home. But now that she had come to this world, which didn't even exist in the universe, Lan Qingyue's homesickness surged like a tide, irresistible, and quickly overwhelmed the emotions she was trying so hard to suppress.
She had wondered more than once whether real time and world time were synchronized.
If so, then she must have been in a coma for several months; if not, then what was it?
These unknowns sometimes filled her with fear, but she couldn't tell anyone about them.
"Your life must be very happy, right?" Wei Yu asked.
Regardless of a person's background or wealth, these are not the main factors determining whether a person is happy or not.
Despite living in a dysfunctional family, she was still able to cultivate such an optimistic and pure mindset, which shows how responsible her father, Lan Rongchang, was.
