On the way home, the two of them tried to avoid mentioning the topic of Wen Ruan going abroad for an exchange program, just to fully enjoy the beautiful moment.
But what needs to be faced still needs to be faced. After the two finished their meal and various tasks, they sat on the sofa and chatted, inevitably bringing up this topic.
"Was everything alright today?"
Upon hearing the question, Wen Ruan replied, "Everything is going smoothly. Teacher Lin asked me to prepare all the necessary materials in the next few days. The school will then submit the documents to me and prepare for the various procedures."
"Hmm, has there been any mention of a final date...?"
"Not yet. The list has been submitted. I plan to go to the school again tomorrow, and they should let me know the specific time then."
"Okay, so the internship arrangements are all set?"
"Not yet. Today I just talked to Teacher Wang Qing about the general situation. He was very supportive and told me to focus on getting things done for going abroad. I plan to talk to Teacher Wang Qing again after everything is settled, and then submit my resignation..." Wen Ruan answered one by one.
"Yes, that's good. If there's anything you can't handle, remember to let me know..." Song Yan instructed.
Song Yan was a little worried that if Wen Ruan had any problems or troubles, she would keep them to herself and bear them alone... For a long time to come, she would be alone outside, and he didn't know if she could adapt.
Thinking of this, Song Yan couldn't help but sigh.
Before she knew it, it was the next day. Wen Ruan got up calmly, packed the materials she needed to carry, and prepared to go to Tsinghua University to find Lin Qingyou as agreed.
As soon as I entered the school gate, I thought I'd go to the cafeteria. I had just woken up not long ago and hadn't had breakfast yet. Plus, I hadn't eaten the school cafeteria food in a long time, so I was actually craving it. So I went in.
I had just bought two steamed buns from the cafeteria and hadn't walked far when I saw a couple holding hands. The boy was seeing the girl off to the entrance of the International Relations Building, and the girl was probably on her way to class.
Wen Ruan recognized the two men from afar. After the boy escorted the girl inside and was about to turn away, Wen Ruan realized that it was Chen Jianwei!
That girl must be Dong Ya!
Wen Ruan found it very interesting. Yesterday, when she had dinner with Zhao Xiaoyan and Dong Ya, everyone talked about their recent situations, but Dong Ya didn't mention Chen Jianwei at all.
He thought that was the end of it between the two of them, and was somewhat shocked by the discrepancy with the original book. But unexpectedly, just one day later, he happened to run into them again.
Chen Jianwei knew Wen Ruan. He had seen her walking hand in hand with Dong Ya many times. Last time, he even thought that she was "making a fuss" with Dong Ya, so he took his husband to "rescue Dong Ya".
Seeing Wen Ruan looking at him, Chen Jianwei took the initiative to step forward and greet her: "Comrade Wen, hello."
Wen Ruan was somewhat surprised: "You know me?"
"Yes, I've heard Ya Ya mention it a few times."
Wen Ruan found it interesting. Ya Ya was Dong Ya's nickname. She had heard Song Yan call Dong Shuangqun that when she accompanied him to visit Dong Shuangqun before. Now that Chen Jianwei could call her so intimately, she guessed that the two had probably made up.
"You've made up?"
"Yes, we've made up." Chen Jianwei's skin was a bit dark, but Wen Ruan could see the blush on it, guessing he was shy.
Wen Ruan smiled inwardly, but still said, "Sister Dong Ya is a very good girl. I can tell that she really cares about you. She was heartbroken for a long time when you took the initiative to distance yourself from her."
"I hope you two will both be alright," Wen Ruan encouraged.
Chen Jianwei was touched by Wen Ruan's kindness towards the two of them, especially since Dong Ya had told her that Wen Ruan had been there to comfort and encourage her during the difficult time they had gone through.
"Thank you, we will," Chen Jianwei replied firmly.
They later agreed to invite Wen Ruan and her husband Song Yan to their wedding.
After Chen Jianwei walked away, Wen Ruan sighed in her heart, "How wonderful! It seems that everyone has a happy ending. As the female lead, Dong Ya, just like in the original book, reconciled with Chen Jianwei early on, instead of wasting so much time on each other like in the original book."
......
"Teacher Lin, I'm coming in." Wen Ruan knocked on the door of Lin Qingyou's office and entered.
"You've come at the right time. I was wondering why you hadn't arrived yet. You're so patient, I was just thinking of asking you something."
Lin Qingyou hurriedly handed the materials in his hand to Wen Ruan, asking her to prepare the corresponding materials according to the contents, and informed her that the exchange students would be arranged to go abroad in late April.
That means there's only one month left. He instructed Wen Ruan to take care of her own affairs during this month so she could focus on her studies.
“Wen Ruan, things will be different when you go abroad. I don’t know if things have changed much since I was in France, but you must remember that when you go abroad, you represent not only yourself, but also all of us Chinese.”
“If you do something wrong, people won’t say anything about you, Wen Ruan. They will only say something about you Chinese people. So, you represent the image of China.”
"After you go abroad, I hope you will work as hard as you have always, complete your studies as soon as possible and return to China. Don't let the outside world's prosperity blind you..." Lin Qingyou earnestly advised.
Wen Ruan showed no impatience upon hearing this, nodding in response to each statement and firmly promising that she would complete her studies on time and return home as soon as possible.
After everything was settled, Wen Ruan walked out of the Tsinghua University gate, intending to go to her workplace to find Teacher Wang Qing and discuss her resignation.
The March wind didn't seem so fierce. Sunlight filtered through the leaves, dappling Wen Ruan with its light. She opened her palms as if to catch the light, and looked back at the entire campus, the place where her firm dreams had begun, and felt endless emotions.
The sunlight shone on her, perfectly balanced, and in the wind, she seemed to see the future...
