Xu Yan walked over and sat down next to him.
"Professor Zheng heard from somewhere that the school was going to send a group of people abroad for exchange and study," Xie Zhuo said. "He wanted me to go too, and he brought me to the principal for this reason. I didn't expect that as soon as I went in, Nie Jianguo said he was going to find you, so I went with him."
Xu Yan remained silent.
"It's just hearsay," Xie Zhuo shook her hand. "Besides, even if it were true, I had no intention of going."
Xu Yan's gaze focused on him. "Why?"
“I… I want to change my major,” Xie Zhuo said, looking at Xu Yan very seriously. “I don’t want to study math anymore; I want to study something else.”
"Anything else?" Xu Yan looked at him seriously.
“Hmm,” Xie Zhu nodded, somewhat hesitant, but his tone was full of determination, “I…I still want to go to Hong Kong.”
"Of course, it's not that I didn't tell you in advance on purpose, it's just an idea."
Fearing that Xu Yan might misunderstand, Xie Zhuo quickly added another sentence. After adding that, he thought for a moment and continued.
"Actually, I prefer making money to studying at school. In the past few months, I have learned what university is like, which has fulfilled my wish to go to university. Now I am thinking that maybe I can go there in two years to take a look and learn something."
It's only been seven or eight years now, and there's still a year or two before we can freely buy and sell goods and do business.
So Xie Zhuo wasn't in a hurry. He planned to study at school for a year or two first, and then start his own business when the time was right.
As for now, he laid it all out with Xu Yan so that she could be mentally prepared. Of course, if Xu Yan disagreed even slightly, he would just focus on graduating and then consider finding a job.
Xu Yan remained silent for a long time, so long that Xie Zhuo wanted to say directly that he didn't want to go anywhere else and just wanted to stay by her side and the children's side, before she finally spoke.
“It’s fine,” Xu Yan said.
Xie Zhuo looked into her eyes.
Xu Yan was of course aware that the country was about to open up, and whether he could seize the opportunity would depend on his vision and luck.
However, she really didn't expect that Xie Zhuo was even more forward-thinking than she knew.
They even thought of going to the port city to study first.
If Xie Zhuo knew what she was thinking, he would probably cover his face in embarrassment. He only knew when to make the most money by relying on some memories from his previous life.
“The reason I asked you to take the college entrance exam with me was so that you could leave Qingshan Brigade and see the outside world,” Xu Yan said. “I didn’t mean to keep you confined.”
As soon as she said that, Xie Zhuo's expression changed slightly.
“You’re angry,” Xie Zhuo stared at Xu Yan with his dark eyes.
Seeing that she didn't have the emotion he wanted in her eyes, Xie Zhuo's expression grew even colder.
My heart felt uncomfortable for a moment.
“I’m not angry,” Xu Yan said.
"Why would you say such things if you're not angry?" Xie Zhuo was still holding her hand, afraid that if he let go, Xu Yan would leave him.
"I've said it many times, the reason I took Da Bao and the others away from the place where I was born and raised is only because of you."
"The outside world is just like that. I came out here, and I've gotten to where I am now, all because of you, you..."
"You didn't restrain me; I wanted to follow you."
Xu Yan didn't understand why Xie Zhuo suddenly got angry when he had just said something very ordinary.
He kept emphasizing that it was he who insisted on clinging to her.
What she meant was that if Xie Zhuo didn't want to go to school and wanted to do something else, she would support him and wouldn't force him to go to school with her. After all, even at school, the two of them wouldn't have many opportunities to see each other.
I just don't know why he got angry.
A gentle breeze blew by, and the two people in the pavilion remained silent for a long time.
Xu Yan didn't want to stay any longer; she had another class soon, but Xie Zhuo kept holding her hand and wouldn't let go. She had no choice but to continue sitting there.
About half an hour later, Xu Yan suddenly felt something warm on her palm. She turned her head and saw Xie Zhuo's lips leaving her palm.
"I really want to give you everything I can," Xie Zhuo said, his eyelids lowered, his thick, dark eyelashes concealing the emotions in his eyes. He carefully examined Xu Yan's palm and said in an almost murmured tone, "I just want you to have me in your heart..."
He spoke so softly that his words were blown away by the wind, and Xu Yan couldn't hear them clearly even after listening for a long time.
“What could it be?” she asked.
