As time passed, He Siyan's vacation quietly came to an end. During this precious rest period, he not only enjoyed the warmth of reuniting with his family, but also spent many unforgettable moments with Gu Yunxi. However, as a soldier, he was well aware of his responsibilities and mission, and after the vacation, he had to return to his unit to continue his military career.
The day before his departure, He Siyan and Gu Yunxi had a heartfelt farewell. They took a walk in the park near Gu Yunxi's home, hand in hand, along the shady path, enjoying each other's company.
He Siyan said softly to Gu Yunxi, "Yunxi, my vacation is about to end. I have to go back to the army tomorrow."
Gu Yunxi held his hand tightly, her eyes filled with reluctance: "Are you leaving so soon? Time flies."
He Siyan nodded and smiled reassuringly, "Yes, but don't worry, we can keep in touch by phone and letter. Besides, I'll have a new vacation soon, and then we can see each other again."
Gu Yunxi raised her head, looked into his eyes, and said earnestly, "I understand, Si Yan. I will wait for you. Take good care of yourself there."
The two sat down on a park bench and continued talking about their plans, dreams, and expectations for the future. Although they felt reluctant to part, they both knew that this was only a temporary separation, and their feelings were strong enough to transcend the distance of time and space.
The next day, filled with longing for Gu Yunxi and concern for his family, He Siyan embarked on his journey back to his unit. At the station, Gu Yunxi saw him off, and they embraced tightly, wishing each other well.
As the train slowly pulled away from the platform, Gu Yunxi's heart was filled with reluctance, but her eyes were firm. She knew that no matter how far the road ahead might be, her heart and He Siyan's would always be closely connected.
The train slowly pulled away from the platform. He Siyan sat in the carriage, gazing at the gradually blurring scenery outside the window, his heart filled with complex emotions. He thought of Gu Yunxi, of every beautiful moment they had shared, and of her strong yet understanding smile. Although he felt reluctant to part, he also understood that as a soldier, he had more important responsibilities to bear.
Gu Yunxi stood on the platform, watching the train depart until it disappeared from sight. She sighed softly, then turned and walked out of the station with a touch of sadness and unwavering determination. She knew life had to go on, and she needed to be stronger, for herself and for her future with He Siyan.
Back home, Gu Yunxi threw herself into her studies. She knew this was one way she could contribute to their future. She worked hard, hoping to achieve better grades and prepare for potential challenges ahead.
When Qian Ziyi learned that Gu Yunxi and He Siyan's date was at the library, she couldn't help but burst into a clear laugh, her eyes sparkling with a playful light.
"The library? Wow, you two are really something else!" Qian Ziyi teased, her tone full of jokes and banter.
Gu Yunxi knew Qian Ziyi meant no harm; she was just cheerful and liked to make harmless jokes. She shrugged gently and replied, "Yes, that's just how unique we are. The library's quiet and knowledge-filled atmosphere makes it the perfect date spot for us."
Seeing that Gu Yunxi didn't seem to care about her mockery and instead responded confidently, Qian Ziyi laughed even harder: "Okay, okay, I admit your date sounds pretty romantic. It's just not like what most people would do. You two are really a couple who study together!"
Gu Yunxi smiled and didn't say anything more. She knew Qian Ziyi was just joking. She knew in her heart that the time she spent with He Siyan, whether it was studying quietly in the library or any other form of interaction, were cherished memories.
Seeing that Gu Yunxi was in a good mood, Qian Ziyi stopped teasing her and said seriously, "To be honest, I'm quite envious of you. Being able to study and improve together in the library is something many people dream of."
Gu Yunxi sensed the sincerity in Qian Ziyi's words and smiled as she replied, "Thank you, Ziyi. Actually, everyone can find a date that suits them, whether it's at the library or somewhere else."
As the winter wind grew increasingly biting, the semester quietly drew to a close. Final exams, as always, arrived with their tension and challenge. The library lights shone brightly every night as students buried themselves in their studies, and Gu Yunxi was no exception.
Gu Yunxi knew that the final exams were a crucial test of her learning throughout the semester. She managed her time wisely, developing a detailed study plan to ensure that each subject received sufficient review. She believed that with adequate preparation, she could achieve excellent results in the exams.
Exam week finally arrived, and Gu Yunxi walked into the exam room with confidence and calm. She carefully read the questions and answered them meticulously, condensing all the knowledge and understanding she had learned throughout the semester onto the answer sheet.
As the last exam ended, Gu Yunxi breathed a sigh of relief. She knew that no matter the result, she had done her best. Stepping out of the exam hall, she saw relaxed smiles on her classmates' faces, all discussing the upcoming holiday.
Gu Yunxi was no exception; she was full of anticipation for the holiday. She planned to go home and rest well, spend quality time with her family, and perhaps even travel with friends to relax and unwind.
Qian Ziyi ran over excitedly, grabbed Gu Yunxi's arm, and said, "Yunxi, the exams are finally over! We should celebrate! What are your plans for the holidays?"
Gu Yunxi smiled and replied, "I plan to go home first, and then I might go on a trip with my family. What about you?"
Qian Ziyi's eyes lit up: "Me too! My family is planning a beach vacation, I can't wait!"
The two chatted about their holiday plans as they walked out of the campus. The winter sun shone on them, bringing a chill, yet also a sense of warmth and hope.
Holidays are something every student looks forward to, especially when they see family or friends already enjoying their vacations. Gu Yunxi went home for the holidays and enjoyed a free and easy holiday life, while Gu Yuanzhi was still in school. The little girl's envy was palpable.
During Gu Yunxi's time at home, she often heard Gu Yuanzhi come home from school and say with a hint of envy, "Sister, it's so good that you're on vacation. I still have to go to school and have so much homework to do." Her eyes sparkled with longing for the vacation, as well as envy for her sister's ability to relax and rest.
Gu Yunxi always treated her younger sister's envy with tolerance and understanding, knowing that this feeling would soon pass. She would encourage Gu Yuanzhi: "Hang in there a little longer, the holiday will be over soon. Then you can also have a good rest and do what you like."
Sometimes, Gu Yunxi would help Gu Yuanzhi with her homework, explaining difficult problems to her, or when Gu Yuanzhi was tired from studying, she would prepare some snacks for her and chat with her to relieve the pressure of studying. She would also plan holiday activities with Gu Yuanzhi, making the little one look forward to the upcoming holiday.
Although Gu Yuanzhi was still in school, she knew that as long as she studied hard, the joyful holiday was just around the corner. Encouraged and supported by her older sister, she studied even harder, hoping to achieve good results in the final exams and then fully enjoy the holiday.
