Chapter 51
To be honest, what Jiang Qiuxu wrote can't even be considered a novel. It can only be said to be a diary used to record daily events. It is very simple to write and comes to the end very quickly.
On August 5, 2024, the content of the novel overlaps with reality. What kind of ending should she write to correspond to her thoughts and experiences?
"There's always that one person who's like a gentle mountain breeze, so invisible and cold, it seems you can never catch him. You can only try to trace his whereabouts, peek into his heart, and look forward to an uncertain future from his untouched traces as he passes by you. But even so, you can't help but follow him, walking through the mountains with him, heading towards a wider world. At the end of the forest, the breeze merges into the air. You seem to have accompanied him all the way, yet it seems you've never been even a little closer to him. However, you know that the wind doesn't belong to one person, and not being noticed by him is already the best outcome."
Admittedly, Jiang Qiuxu set out to catch up with Xie Yusheng because he always ranked ahead of her. It was Xie Yusheng's dedication that inspired her to work hard, ultimately leading to her exceptional performance on the college entrance exam and admission to her desired university. Furthermore, Jiang Qiuxu hadn't seen the fluctuation value display since she hadn't been able to find any of the previous records. She hadn't carefully read the manual back then, and didn't know the criteria for the display disappearing, much less how to predict Xie Yusheng's intentions. Now, aside from Jiang Qiuxu and Du Xiwei's memories, she had nothing to corroborate her miraculous experiences. Fortunately, she didn't need those things in her life now, otherwise, she would be doomed.
Getting back to the point, Jiang Qiuxu didn't really understand why there was such a thing as a "short essay" before, but now she finally understands. There are too many things she wants to say and too many things she doesn't want to let go of, but she doesn't dare to say or ask them openly, so she can only turn her thoughts into long texts and express herself through obscure words and hints.
Just treat it as if it's all over.
On September 8, 2024, Jiang Qiuxu arrived at the university to register. The school's military training was in winter, so she didn't even have to train under the scorching sun like her classmates from other schools.
After a senior year and a summer vacation, Jiang Qiuxu was no longer the socially anxious little girl she used to be. She completed the classic freshman self-introduction very smoothly, and then chose not to participate in the class election, and thus survived until the end of the freshman class meeting.
The head teacher finally announced that the class meeting was over. Jiang Qiuxu was sitting in the back row near the door. Upon hearing this, he couldn't wait to leave through the back door and planned to go out of the school to play with Du Xiwei.
Perhaps because he was walking too fast, Jiang Qiuxu almost fell down after just a few steps. At the critical moment, someone supported Jiang Qiuxu. Jiang Qiuxu said thank you and looked up to leave, but he saw a familiar face.
It was Xie Yusheng, his usual aloofness, even managing to cool Jiang Qiuxu's eyes in the midday heat. Of course, that wasn't the point. Xie Yusheng's Gaokao score should have been significantly higher than hers, and he could have gone to a better school, not like he was now. And from her understanding of Xie Yusheng's family, he seemed free, but once he got his Gaokao application, his parents would definitely not ignore him. Under those circumstances, how could they both be admitted to the same school? It didn't make sense, did it?
