Deep down, Gu Sirou was actually worried about Ji Siyuan's future, and she had no confidence in it at all.
Because she was afraid that after trying all sorts of activities, Ji Siyuan would still not find anything that interested him. So, what would Ji Siyuan face when that day came?
As for Ji Siyuan, Gu Sirou, as his mother, dared not think too deeply about how he would ultimately choose to spend the long, lonely, and boring life ahead.
Gu Sirou had already thought of a solution for the future successor of Jishi Hospital: if Ji Siyuan had no interest in hospital management, she could hire a professional manager to manage the family business for him.
The girl from the Ye family is a lively young lady who is completely devoted to Si Yuan. Si Yuan has known her since childhood and doesn't reject her. Perhaps the relationship between the Ji family and the Ye family can become even closer in the future.
However, these were just her initial thoughts; now things have completely changed.
It seems that Zijing and Siyuan have fallen out, otherwise this girl wouldn't have left the country without a word, and even Zhao Yadan went with her. It seems she won't be returning to China for several years.
Si Yuan also found a girl he liked, although he probably wouldn't win her over, but surprisingly, Si Yuan was willing to study medicine at Tsinghua University.
Whatever the reason, Ji Siyuan's choice surprised and delighted Gu Sirou.
"Are you really sure?"
"It's decided!"
Gu Sirou looked at her son meaningfully. After all, he was her own flesh and blood. She had cherished him for so many years and couldn't bear to keep watching him make a fool of himself.
"Having such a handsome face isn't entirely useless; you can use it to your advantage when necessary, you know? Also, when pursuing girls, you need to work on your temper, or you'll scare them away!..."
Finally, remember, even the most virtuous woman can be swayed by persistent suitors, right? So be a little thick-skinned!
——
Gu Sirou said a lot, and Ji Siyuan remembered everything.
When Ji Siyuan saw Chi Chan again at the start of the university semester, it felt like an eternity, even though it had only been a summer vacation.
Chi Chan's surprise at seeing him was palpable; she was clearly astonished that he had chosen Tsinghua University.
Her attitude remained firmly one of rejection. Even when he pressed her for a truthful answer that "Chi Chan rejected him," he only ended up humiliating himself.
In the end, the two parted on bad terms.
Later on—even though they often attended large classes in the same classroom, they became familiar strangers to each other.
Ji Siyuan began to wonder if his decision to attend the same university as Chi Chan was the right one. Before he could figure it out, the medical class's social event brought his relationship with Chi Chan to a new stage.
At the social gathering, Ji Siyuan arrived very early. He looked around but did not see Chi Chan. His classmate Fu Wanjia was sitting next to him.
Both being medical families, the Fu family shines brightly in the academic world, while the Gu family's Jishi Hospital, as the largest private hospital in the country, also holds a significant position.
However, Fu Wanjia is different from Ji Siyuan. Ji Siyuan has learned a wide range of things, while Fu Wanjia has specialized in medicine since childhood, and her research field is the same as her grandfather's research field.
It must be said that Fu Wanjia is undoubtedly an outstanding person in her professional field, a level that Ji Si cannot reach at all.
However, Ji Siyuan has been a bit annoyed lately because Fu Wanjia keeps coming to see him under the pretext of exchanging and learning from each other.
Although they did talk about studying, Ji Siyuan was no longer the naive man he once was, and he wouldn't simply believe that Fu Wanjia's actions were purely for the sake of studying.
If it were truly for the sake of learning, wouldn't it be faster for Fu Wanjia to ask her grandfather for advice?
But every time Fu Wanjia came to see him, she had a legitimate excuse, whether it was a group project, a medical experiment, or a class activity... Her reasons were so legitimate that Ji Siyuan couldn't refuse.
Rumors even circulated among the students that he and Fu Wanjia were having an affair.
Ji Siyuan disliked this passive feeling, but he couldn't help wondering: what would Chi Chan's reaction be if he heard this?
Will you be angry?
Will you still get jealous?
Hmph—it's definitely not what he thinks. Chi Chan might breathe a sigh of relief after hearing this, getting rid of this annoying guy!
Thinking this, Ji Siyuan became even more annoyed. He didn't hear a single word that Fu Wanjia was saying to him.
——
Chi Chan arrived just in time; almost as soon as she entered, Ji Siyuan caught a glimpse of her out of the corner of his eye.
Her casual attire contrasted sharply with the elegantly dressed women around her.
Chi Chan seemed completely unconcerned. After finding a place to sit down, she began to eat.
Completely unaware that tonight's gathering was primarily for socializing.
Ji Siyuan's mood suddenly soured. He didn't want to participate, but he came because he heard the class monitor say that all the students in Class One would participate.
But clearly, he was just being delusional; Chi Chan was obviously just there to make up the numbers and have a meal.
Oh, and drinking too.
The girls who came with her were drinking and having a great time.
With so many people around, it was noisy, and everyone inevitably spoke louder to those around them.
Amidst the chaotic noise, Ji Siyuan could vaguely hear Chi Chan's roommates discussing him. However, Chi Chan pretended not to know him at all and joined in the discussion.
Ji Siyuan suddenly felt hatred for Chi Chan—Chi Chan was truly a heartless woman!
Now he can talk about himself with others without batting an eye, just as he could have used his name to sell stationery and books without batting an eye back then.
Thinking back to this, Ji Siyuan couldn't help but smile sarcastically: That's exactly how it is!
So, Chi Chan has never changed. No matter what the situation, he can remain so composed. What has changed is him. From dislike to unconscious attention, then to unconscious liking, and finally to the unbearable pain of letting go.
Ji Siyuan was in a state of confusion and unease. He ate dinner in a daze and then joined the group games.
They were all young men and women, bursting with hormones and legally adults, so their group games inevitably had a slightly suggestive element, as if only in this way could the atmosphere be heated up.
Unlike the curiosity and impulse he felt while playing games on his graduation trip, Ji Siyuan, who was in a bad mood at the moment, was extremely disgusted by this kind of game.
He was handsome and self-aware. It's no exaggeration to say that in this kind of game, he was undoubtedly the most sought-after guy and the target of the vast majority of girls.
Similarly, he knew that since he was already there, he wouldn't leave this scene.
Despite his discomfort, Ji Siyuan joined the game at the host's urging. To his surprise, he found that standing next to him were none other than Chi Chan's roommates.
Chi Chan seemed to be drunk; her face was flushed, and her hazy expression was different from usual, like a lazy little kitten.
Confused yet adorable.
