With the holiday over, Gu Yunxi plunged back into her busy school life. The start of a new semester always brings a series of new courses, projects, and activities. As a conscientious and responsible student, Gu Yunxi knew she needed to quickly switch from holiday mode back to study mode.
Every day, Gu Yunxi gets up early to prepare her study plan. She moves between teaching buildings, attending various courses and lectures, taking careful notes, and actively participating in class discussions. In the library, she immerses herself in books and materials, preparing for her upcoming thesis and exams.
In addition to her academic studies, Gu Yunxi also participated in school club activities and volunteer services. She believes that these experiences will not only enrich her university life but also help her develop teamwork and leadership skills.
In the evenings, Gu Yunxi would review what she had learned that day in her dormitory and preview the next day's lessons. She would also take time to chat with her friends, sharing their learning experiences and interesting stories from life. These relaxing moments brought a bit of relief to her stressful academic life.
Despite her busy life, Gu Yunxi finds joy in it. She enjoys this fulfilling and purposeful life and is proud of her growth and progress. She knows that only through continuous effort and learning can she achieve her dreams and goals.
When He Siyan got another leave of absence, he wasted no time and immediately arranged to meet with Gu Yunxi. The two were filled with anticipation and joy at their reunion, and they both had many experiences and stories they wanted to share with each other.
On a warm afternoon, Gu Yunxi arrived at the agreed-upon coffee shop ahead of time, chose a window seat, and quietly waited for He Siyan's arrival. Sunlight streamed through the window, bathing her in its glow and adding to her gentle aura.
Soon, He Siyan appeared at the entrance of the coffee shop. He was dressed casually, looking both energetic and handsome. His gaze swept around the coffee shop, and he quickly spotted Gu Yunxi, a warm smile spreading across his face.
He Siyan walked up to Gu Yunxi and said softly, "Yunxi, it's been a long time." His voice was a little hoarse, revealing his longing for Gu Yunxi.
Gu Yunxi stood up and smiled as she replied, "Siyan, you're finally back. I have so much to tell you." Her eyes sparkled with excitement and anticipation.
After they sat down, they ordered their favorite coffees and snacks and began to chat about their recent lives. He Siyan shared his experiences and observations in the military, while Gu Yunxi talked about her studies and campus life, as well as her plans and dreams for the future.
As time went on, their conversation deepened, and they not only shared snippets of their lives but also explored each other's thoughts and feelings. The cozy atmosphere of the café and their pleasant exchange made the afternoon exceptionally beautiful.
As a soldier, He Siyan's long-term exposure to the strict military life may have instilled in him a stronger desire for a stable romantic relationship. Therefore, when the two met again, he expressed his desire to meet each other's parents and get engaged as soon as possible, hoping to gain more security and commitment.
However, Gu Yunxi had a different view. As a student, she knew she still had many academic and career goals to achieve. She believed that getting engaged now might bring unnecessary pressure and constraints to both of them, affecting their respective development.
In a deep conversation, He Siyan expressed his concerns and expectations: "Yunxi, I know I'm often away, which makes me uneasy. I think if we could meet each other's parents sooner and then get engaged, it might make us both feel more at ease."
Gu Yunxi understood He Siyan's feelings, but she insisted on her own opinion: "Siyan, I understand your concerns, but I still think we should wait until graduation to talk about it. We all have our own paths to walk, and I don't want to be defined so early."
Although Gu Yunxi's answer disappointed He Siyan somewhat, he respected her choice. He knew that Gu Yunxi was a person with her own ideas and plans; he loved her and respected her decision.
“Okay, I respect your decision.” He Siyan sighed, then continued, “I just hope we can have a future together.”
Gu Yunxi grasped He Siyan's hand, her eyes resolute: "We will have it, Siyan. But right now we need to give each other more time and space to become better versions of ourselves."
In their conversation, He Siyan and Gu Yunxi, despite their different expectations and plans, both understood that true love is built on mutual understanding and support. Even when faced with disagreements about future plans, they were able to find solutions through communication.
He Siyan was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "Yunxi, I understand your thoughts. I was a bit impatient. We should give each other more time to achieve our respective goals and dreams."
Gu Yunxi felt He Siyan's understanding and tolerance, and she responded gently, "Thank you, Siyan. I'm glad we were able to communicate honestly. Our relationship doesn't need hasty promises, but rather our joint efforts and growth."
The two continued their conversation in the café, discussing their plans and dreams. He Siyan talked about his future aspirations, including promotion opportunities and possible transfers in the military. Gu Yunxi shared her expectations for her studies and her career plans after graduation.
They also talked about how to maintain a long-distance relationship and how to make time for each other in their busy lives. They discussed regular communication, video calls, and arranging joint activities when Hesyan was on vacation.
As the sun set, the atmosphere in the café became even warmer. He Siyan and Gu Yunxi both realized that despite facing different challenges and uncertainties, they were willing to put in the effort for their relationship.
He Siyan gently took Gu Yunxi's hand: "No matter what the future holds, I will always be here to support you, Yunxi. Let's take it one step at a time, without rushing or being impatient."
Gu Yunxi returned a warm smile: "Me too, Si Yan. Let's work together and face every challenge in the future."
