She counted down the days as she busied herself. May was finally over, and June was coming to an end.
Yan Zheke changed her clothes, grabbed her backpack, and walked towards the bedroom door. Before she left, she subconsciously looked back at the marked calendar.
It's almost time … The busiest thing is done. All that's left is the paperwork … She looked away and walked down the stairs briskly.
She got into Du Yan's car and arrived at the Connecticut campus. The greenery here was excellent. Trees were everywhere, and many of the roads were quite interesting.
Walking among them and seeing all this, Yan Zheke suddenly realized that she had not paid attention to the scenery around her for a long time. She was so busy that she could not bear to waste a minute and a second on unimportant things.
But now, it's all over … She could relax again … She pursed her lips into a sweet smile. Her right foot stepped lightly in front of her left foot, and then her left foot did the same. She walked slowly in a straight line. Her body swayed slightly from time to time, as if she was simulating an invisible balance beam.
She entered a quiet building at the end of the road and knocked on the door of her tutor's office.
"Good morning, Mr. Ferman. Are you looking for me?"
Her tutor, Ferman, was almost 80 years old. His face was full of wrinkles and age spots, but he was still hale and hearty. He did not have the cloudy eyes of his peers.
He turned his chair and looked at Yan Zheke. He crossed his hands in front of his chest and smiled.
"Sophia, are you really not going to consider continuing?"
"Over the past two years, you have displayed outstanding talent and proven your ability. Your rigorous thinking, keen observation, and unique insights have left a deep impression on me. Why don't you continue?"
"Yes, a degree is just a performance. It is not necessarily important. But you have just opened the door to this field. There are so many treasures waiting for you to explore and obtain. If you stay here, you will have a deeper understanding of this field. You will also have opportunities to get in touch with frontier affairs. I believe that there is no other place in the world that suits you better than here."
A world-class master, a master who had brought out so many economic award winners, had given her such high recognition. Yan Zheke felt satisfied and happy as if she had gained something.
She bit her lower lip and looked up. After a moment of silence, she said,
"Mr. Ferman, thank you very much for your recognition. I am very excited."
"Becoming the best in this field has always been my dream, and it hasn't changed even now. However, it has nothing to do with external factors. It's just a personal hobby of mine. I will continue, but not here, and not necessarily in the next few years."
"Since I have opened the door, I want to spend my life exploring, researching, and enjoying it slowly. It's like tasting a delicacy.... maybe I will come back for a short visit, but not now.
"I hope you don't mind that I often send you emails to ask you questions or discuss. Earth is just a village. It doesn't matter where it is."
. Ferman nodded slowly.
"Alright."
He waited for a few seconds before asking again, "Can you tell me why?"
Yan Zheke's dimples could be seen.
"Because I have more important things to do."
Ferman didn't mention this matter again and signaled for the girl to leave.
Yan Zheke turned around and slowly left the small building. The sun was just right outside. It was warm but not hot. The ground was shining with golden light.
Her mood was calm and peaceful, but there were bubbles bubbling inside her. Suddenly, she thought of a song and couldn't help but hum its melody silently:
"I'm going to marry you tomorrow …"
…
On a sunny morning, Lou Cheng put on his disguise and arrived at the international arrival hall of Huacheng Heishui Airport.
Today is the day Little Fairy returns!
The torturous long-distance relationship is coming to an end!
Lou Cheng couldn't hold back his excitement. If it weren't for the Warrior Sage Battle finals in a few days, he would have used the opportunity in the second half of the year to fly over to pick her up.
Songcheng University and Kangshan University's joint training program was equivalent to a master's degree. Students could obtain degrees from both universities. Previously, Ke Ke had wanted to shorten the training period to three years, but she had failed to do so because the curriculum was already very tight. Hence, it was still the normal four years.
Four years was a long time for a young man in his twenties.
And it is finally coming to an end … Lou Cheng couldn't calm down. He looked down at the time, the flight schedule, and the bouquet of flowers in his arms.
My brain must have gone haywire. Why did I think of buying a bouquet of flowers … It feels so silly to wait like this … Lou Cheng couldn't help but criticize himself. But in the blink of an eye, he was drowned by his memories.
The farewell was still vivid in his mind … Little Fairy's confession, no longer holding back her tears, was as clear as yesterday …
…
Above the clouds, the plane flew at high speed. Lightning flashed and thunder rumbled below.
On such a journey, bumps were inevitable. Yan Zheke was wearing an eye mask. She tossed and turned, but couldn't fall asleep.
Suddenly, there was a violent jolt. The plane seemed to have been forcefully pushed to the side. Many people screamed. Unpacked coffee, food, and other things flew everywhere.
Yan Zheke took off the blindfold abruptly and grabbed the armrest with both hands. She was obviously nervous.
To her, this wasn't a normal reaction. She had always boasted that she wasn't afraid of death.
Born with a congenital defect, she was weak and sickly since young. Before the age of ten, she was admitted to the hospital every few days. Death was so close at hand. Such an experience made Yan Zheke feel that she didn't care about life and death. She felt that it was just a natural outcome and that there was nothing to be afraid of. That was why she wasn't afraid of heights, extreme sports like bungee jumping, or the unexpected changes in the plane.
But now, she couldn't control her anxiety and fear. And these emotions got worse as the bumpy ride continued. Because she had finally finished her education, because her long-distance relationship was about to come to fruition. Because a new phase of her life was about to begin. Because there was a silly guy waiting for her at the airport.
She wasn't afraid of death, but she was afraid of regret …
Her hands clenched tighter and tighter, her veins popping. Yan Zheke could barely hear the consolation from the radio. Half of her mind was filled with worry and fear, and the other half was rational but panicked thinking.
If the plane crashes into the sea, with my strength and supernatural ability, I should have a good chance of surviving …
If that happens, Cheng will definitely search for me at all costs …
Then he will miss the Battle of Warrior Sage …
Why am I thinking about this mess at this time …
If something really happens, how am I going to save myself …
As her thoughts flashed, the plane finally stabilized. The cabin was a mess.
Phew … Yan Zheke exhaled. Her tense muscles and tendons relaxed, and she felt exhausted.
She leaned back and thought,
If Cheng knows that I'm scared because of this, humph, he'll definitely laugh at me!
After some time, the plane finally arrived and landed. Yan Zheke, who was exhausted, found her luggage and went to the hall with the remaining tension.
Before she could move her eyes, she saw the familiar guy holding a bouquet of flowers. He pretended to be gentle and natural and smiled.
"Let's go home."
The remaining tension disappeared. Yan Zheke's vision blurred. She reached out and grabbed the bouquet of flowers. She raised her chin slightly and said with a hint of sobbing,
"Humph, it's me who's taking you home!"
It's good to be home.
