I often wake up in the middle of the night, or when I'm so stressed that I can't sleep.
Chi Chan would think that if Chi Minghe hadn't had that accident, she would have chosen to take the postgraduate entrance exam, switch to education, and then go back to her hometown, a small county, to live a peaceful and stable life as a teacher.
Perhaps the salary isn't high enough, or perhaps there are various uncertainties.
But its advantage lies in its stability. The word 'stability' is enough to make Chi Chan, who never experienced extreme insecurity in her previous life, feel like she could only dream of it.
Therefore, when Shu Jia brought up this issue.
Chi Chan immediately thought of her past life when she was exceptionally naive and looked down on the teaching profession.
"Jiajia, besides asking you to choose this university, did your aunt and uncle mention anything else?"
Shu Jia pouted: "They even told me to go back to Xingcheng to work after graduation. I've already lived in Xingcheng for more than ten years. Am I supposed to live here for the rest of my life? That's so boring."
Upon hearing this, Chi Chan immediately realized that Shu Jia's thoughts were exactly the same as hers back then.
Innocent!
They're so innocently adorable.
If she has the same advantages as Shu Jia: her parents have connections and influence in the Xingcheng education circle, and she also has a very good university background, Beijing Normal University, one of the top education universities in China.
After graduation, I returned to Changsha, my home base, to work.
I wouldn't say the future is all bright, but at least it should be smooth sailing.
In addition, she has the care of her parents in her daily life, as well as the network of classmates and friends she has cultivated over the past ten years.
The advantages are numerous.
Shu Jia actually wanted to jump out, and her reason for wanting to jump out was very simple.
Tired of staying in one place?
Shu Jia's choice, which she disdained, was a luxury that Chi Chan could only dream of in her previous life.
Chi Chan looked at Shu Jia with a hint of emotion: She really is still a young girl who hasn't experienced the harsh realities of society!
A wage slave like her, who has been beaten down by society enough, just wants to find a stable job that pays well, is easy, and is close to home, and then lie down and live a carefree life.
Call her useless or a mama's boy if you will.
In short, Chi Chan just wants to relax and do nothing after graduation.
The concepts of striving and involution are simply too inhumane.
Although Chi Chan did not agree with Shu Jia's idea, she understood it. After all, she had been through the same stage as Shu Jia. So she told Shu Jia all her thoughts and asked her to think about them carefully.
Don't reject your parents' advice.
Sometimes, although parents' advice may seem old-fashioned, it must be said that it contains life experience and wisdom.
You should listen when you need to.
The hardships experienced by our parents' generation are incomparable to those of our generation.
The saying "Our parents' generation has eaten more salt than they've walked roads" is not just a casual remark.
Rather than waiting until the future to regret it, it's better to make every choice you make in the present moment carefully.
The claim that staying in one place will make you tired of it is simply unfounded.
The place may not change, but the people are constantly changing.
People can go to many places they've never been before and see many sights they've never seen before.
But Chinese people believe in returning to their roots; those who have left home will eventually want to go back to their hometown.
It's easy to venture out when you're young, but it's not so easy to return to your hometown when you're old.
Things have changed, but people are no longer the same.
Seeing that Shu Jia seemed to have taken it to heart, he noticed she looked thoughtful.
Chi Chan was relieved.
Not long after, a cheerful-looking Lao Qiu entered the classroom, followed by several classmates, each carrying a large stack of books.
Each student receives two copies: a guide to filling out college applications and a school admission catalog.
The No. 1 High School of the city achieved outstanding results in this year's college entrance examination, with 11 students scoring higher than last year's top universities such as Tsinghua and Beijing North.
Class 7's academic performance is undoubtedly outstanding among the senior classes at the No. 1 High School in the city.
Class 7 had three students among the top ten in the grade: Ji Siyuan, Lin Da, and Chi Chan.
Chi Chan was exactly tenth in his grade.
In addition to these two books, Lao Qiu also took out the college entrance examination goals that everyone had filled out back then and distributed them to everyone.
After receiving the goals they had written down, the students felt a mix of emotions: some were moved, some were happy, and some had mixed feelings.
In short, a mix of emotions were intertwined.
Those who achieved their goals felt that all their efforts were worthwhile, while those who didn't began to regret not trying harder or putting in more effort.
But time never returns.
Fortunately, Chi Chan and the others were very satisfied with their college entrance examination results.
"It seems I underestimated myself back then; my college entrance exam score was 20 points higher than it was then."
Shu Jia showed her little note to Chi Chan and the others.
Old Qiu only asked for the target score and university, but Shu Jia wrote a bunch of random and irrelevant things in addition to those two.
What about sleeping for three days and three nights after graduation, eating five ice creams in a row, staying up all night to finish reading all the novels I've been saving up to read, and so on...
Mr. Qiu thoughtfully gave everyone some time to vent and share their feelings, and then introduced the main areas of study and research for each major category to the students of Class 7.
Consider this a form of popular science.
The course provided Class 7 students with a quick overview of the current admission scores for various majors, school rankings, employment prospects, subject content, and more. It was packed with useful information, and although Chi Chan already had a clear direction, it didn't stop her from gaining a lot.
After Lao Qiu finished speaking, everyone went to the graduation dinner in groups. As expected, this was the last dinner for the Class 7 students.
From now on, any future gatherings will only be called class reunions.
The restaurant that Lao Qiu booked was in the city center, and there was a KTV upstairs.
Everyone took a ride on their own.
This is when you can see the private relationships between the students in Class 7. The couples who used to hide their relationship are now completely open about it, and they even dare to be affectionate right under Lao Qiu's nose.
Fortunately, Mr. Qiu is an open-minded teacher. When he sees the lovey-dovey young couple, he only makes a few teasing remarks and offers his blessings and some relationship advice.
Seeing these lovey-dovey couples, Chi Chan remained vigilant about Ji Siyuan, who had recently made great progress in his emotional intelligence.
Just a second before Ji Siyuan reached out to pull her, Chi Chan quickly raised her hand and swung Shu Jia's arm.
Ji Siyuan's eyes darkened upon catching a glimpse of this scene.
The three of them, plus Linda, were just enough for one taxi.
So Shu Jia raised her hand and hailed a taxi.
After Shu Jia and Chi Chan got into the car, Ji Siyuan followed Chi Chan directly into the back seat, while Lin Da, who was left alone, belatedly got into the front passenger seat.
His gaze swept back and forth between Chi Chan and Ji Siyuan.
After a lackluster dinner and karaoke session, Ji Siyuan escorted Chi Chan home.
In the moving taxi, Chi Chan sat close to the window, while Ji Siyuan remained motionless, sitting upright and staring straight ahead.
