In the pond of the university, lotus flowers bloomed beautifully on the rippling green water.
The campus was filled with graduates in their bachelor's gowns, looking for pictures excitedly. Ye Tong held the flowers and happily let Wang Yongzhen take photos.
"What do you want to do after graduation?" They sat under the shade and looked at the scenery of the campus longingly.
"I want to study abroad again. What about you?" Ye Tong turned to look at Wang Yongzhen. She always looked so energetic.
"I want to be a tour guide at a travel agency." "I want to visit all the historical sites in the world and leave my footprints in every historical site.”
Ye Tong smiled knowingly.
"By the way, if you go abroad to study, what about Shao Kai?”
"What should we do?" She had never thought about it. She had never told Shao Kai about her plans to go abroad.
"If he doesn't agree to let you go abroad, what will you do?”Wang Yongzhen had a straightforward personality, so it was natural for her to ask.
"We'll talk about it when the time comes!"
"Little Tong, some things may not be pleasant to hear, but I'm your good friend, so I have to say it.”
"Yes, tell me!"
"You know that Shao Kai used to specialize in one-night stands. Although he seems to like you very much now, I keep feeling that he won't be tied down just like that. But if you go abroad to study, do you think Shao Kai will be willing to wait for you?”
Ye Tong remained silent. It wasn't that she wasn't worried, but that she didn't want to think about this problem. Actually, she still did not have any confidence in Shao Kai. He had a confusing dual personality, sometimes passionate, sometimes cold. Sometimes gentle, sometimes violent. Although she always quietly admired the various changes in him, she could not help but feel confused and helpless at times. She would also worry that she did not have the ability to hold Shao Kai, who was both talented and good-looking. He seemed to have a vitality that was difficult to restrain. Coupled with his eye-catching appearance, he would naturally attract many admiring gazes when walking on the road. Those gazes made her feel pressured and made her feel extremely insecure. She could not specifically point out this bitter feeling and could only silently chew and digest it alone.
Looking at Ye Tong's uneasy expression, Wang Yongzhen could not help but blame himself for talking too much. After all, it was just his own thoughts and did not mean anything.
"Little Tong, I'm just saying what I think. Don't think too much! It's hard to say when it comes to relationships. I sincerely hope that you and Shao Kai can have a happy ending. Remember to look for me as the bridesmaid. I'll sign up for you first!”
Ye Tong shrugged and smiled." It's still early! Actually, you're right. I'm worried too. It's just that this kind of suspicion is unfair to Shao Kai. Only I know how serious he is towards me.”
"That's good!" Wang Yongzhen put his arm around her shoulder." Actually, I've read a horoscope book. The book said that although Geminis give people the first impression of being fickle and fickle, they are actually very loyal. They can make friends with many women at the same time, but they will only have one real girlfriend. You are the one who made him fall in love with you!”
"Yes." She nodded, as if she had gained a little more confidence. "What about your blue chip stocks?" She was referring to Kuan, whom Yongzhen was very interested in.
"Sigh, don't mention it." Wang Yongzhen shook his head dejectedly.
"What's wrong? It's too high."
"No, it's just that I really can't tell what else he's interested in other than books. I invited him to eat and have coffee with me, but he always kept his book in his hand. Even if I wanted to say more, I didn't want to disturb him when I saw that he was so focused on reading.”
"How did this happen?" Although she hadn't talked much with Kuan, she felt that he wasn't a boring nerd!
"Maybe he's a real nerd, or maybe he's not interested in me and is too embarrassed to reject me, so he's using this to deal with me. Anyway, I've already given up. There are handsome men everywhere in the world. I don't have to fall in love with him alone.”
Ye Tong burst out laughing. Yongzhen always had a high-sounding way of saying things about failure. "Anyway, it's good that you can get over it.”
"Junior is treating us to dinner tonight. Are you coming?”
"This…I promised Shao Kai that I would attend their gathering!”She looked apologetic.
"Forget it, forget it. There's a saying: Just follow the three obsequies and four virtues and let him be!”
"What are you talking about!"
The beer house was bustling with noise.
This beer house, which was closest to the university, was mainly designed with train carriages. Tonight, it was packed with students from various departments. Everyone had chosen to hold a farewell party here. Shao Kai, Ye Tong, and the others occupied a carriage in the corner. Other than Ye Tong, the rest were all medical students, including the group of girls who had danced with Shao Kai on the day of the ball. They were all Shao Kai's juniors.
Shao Kai, who was always the center of attention in the crowd, was in high spirits as he circled around the tables. When the junior girls toasted him, he did not reject them at all and played with them generously.
Ye Tong, who was in the corner, looked at him a little desolately. In public, Shao Kai easily forgot her existence. Only when the two of them were alone would she feel that Shao Kai completely belonged to her. He was a natural star. Once he found a stage that he could perform on, he would naturally exude charm and brilliance, easily becoming the focus of everyone's attention. But he was born to be a spectator, and a spectator who was used to hiding in a corner. She was not good at getting close to the crowd. She always watched the lively crowd coldly from the corner. Shao Kai on the stage was something she could only dream of.
She took a sip of wine gloomily. Other than sitting beside her when she first came in, Shao Kai spent the rest of the time loitering in other seats. She knew that he would not return to her side until the end of the night. Because she was not familiar with the others, it deepened the loneliness and helplessness in her heart.
"Eh? Kuan is here!"
Someone called out, and Li Tingkuan walked over in embarrassment.
"What the hell? You're so late." When Shao Kai saw him, he took two glasses of beer and walked towards him.
"There's nothing I can do. Teacher won't let me go. I'm also very helpless!”Li Tingkuan nodded at Ye Tong and sat down opposite her.
"Come, those who are late will have to drink three big glasses.”Shao Kai jeered and gestured for the junior girls to bring another glass of beer over.
"Alright!" Li Tingkuan's usual refined demeanor was gone as he took the wine glass generously. "Let's drink!" After he finished speaking, he drank three glasses in one go, winning the entire hall.
"Alright, I'll drink three glasses with you too." Shao Kai moved the entire beer barrel over and first filled his own glass with wine.
"Wait, don't hang up too early. You still have to deal with the junior sister-in-law behind me! You know I'm only good at three cups.”Li Tingkuan lowered his voice.
"Haha! Alright, who taught you to be my good buddy! For you, I'll fight them to the death." He finished the beer in his hand and walked to the other tables with his juniors.
He was so happy that he had completely forgotten about Ye Tong's existence. He had finally returned to her side, but he had forced Li Tingkuan to finish his drink and then quickly left without even looking at her.
Ye Tong secretly sighed in her heart and forced herself to stay awake and continue sitting there.
The attentive Li Tingkuan naturally did not miss the loneliness and desolation that quickly flashed across Ye Tong's face. He gently hummed a song,
"You are like a butterfly flying in the sky, flying here and there but not to my side. I can only look at you from afar, hoping that you can take a break…"
" Kuan..." The song went straight to her heart and easily drew her tears. Fortunately, there were only her and Li Tingkuan left. She quickly wiped her tears away in embarrassment.
Li Tingkuan turned his head to look at the end of the carriage. Shao Kai was surrounded by his juniors and was being forced to drink.
"I really shouldn't have come." Ye Tong couldn't hide her embarrassment." I'm not familiar with everyone, so it's awkward for me to be here.”
"But if you don't come, Shao Kai will be angry because he wants you to participate in activities related to him, right?”
Ye Tong nodded.
"He's like a butterfly. He likes to play among the flowers, but he always knows which flower he likes the most. When he's done playing, he'll naturally fly back to you.”
So, would she always have to play the role of waiting? This seemed a little sad…Ye Tong could only smile bitterly at such a statement.
"He's a super fun person and also the best actor. He tries his best to make the scene lively. If there isn't someone like him in this kind of place, the atmosphere won't be lively. So don't feel sad because he ignored you for a while. He knows what he's doing and knows how to control himself. Don't worry and let him play! Just because he was multitasking didn't mean that he wasn't loyal.”
Ye Tong smiled and felt much better. Kuan could always comfort her with the most appropriate words.
"You said you have a sister who looks like me, right?”In order to change the topic, Ye Tong had no choice but to start a conversation. However, she then remembered that his sister had passed away. Kuan might not like to talk about sad things. She felt that it was inappropriate and embarrassed.
"It's alright." Li Tingkuan pulled out a photo from his wallet and showed it to her. "Look, doesn't it look like it?"
Eh, they really did look alike! The girl in the photo was wearing a white shirt with a ponytail. She smiled brightly and posed for the camera in a victory pose. The background was the pyramids of Egypt.
" My sister is also studying history. During her third year, she went to the Grand Canyon in the United States for a summer vacation. Unfortunately, the small plane she took crashed..." Speaking of the sad past, Li Tingkuan's already unhappy expression became even more depressed.
"I'm sorry." Ye Tong looked at the pretty girl in the photo and felt a sour feeling in her heart.
"It's okay. It's all in the past. Seeing you reminds me of my sister, but you two have very different personalities. She always likes to run out, but you are used to staying quietly somewhere.”
"Because I'm a Capricorn! She's naturally suitable for a family."
"My sister is a Gemini like Shao Kai. She's lively, active, and fun. She likes exciting activities the most and can't stand fixed things the most. She often said that fixed things would make her age rapidly, so whenever she was on vacation, she would definitely arrange many activities for herself, and there would be endless variety. Shao Kai also knows my sister. The two of them have a lot to fight for. They are both people who can't calm down. Every time they meet, they will compare who has participated in the most thrilling event.”
"It sounds interesting. No wonder you know so much about Geminis.”
"That's right! I have a very good relationship with my sister, and I've been classmates with Shao Kai for eight years. I know every single thought of theirs clearly. They just love to play. Don't interfere too much with their lives. Give them some warm comfort at the right time, and you can definitely keep them by your side.”
Ye Tong held her chin and looked at Shao Kai, who was playing like a child in the distance. An expression of tolerance unconsciously appeared on her face.
"Shao Kai and I have to stay in the teaching hospital attached to the medical school as interns in the future. What about you? What are your plans?"
"I want to study abroad."
" Mm…" Li Tingkuan pondered." Does Shao Kai know?”
Ye Tong shook her head.
"Yes." Kuan nodded again." You'd better find an appropriate time to communicate with him. He likes to play, but he's very autocratic about relationships, so he'll seem a little neurotic." If he doesn't want you to go abroad, but you insist on going abroad, he will definitely doubt whether you love him or not! Although the term 'forever' was unfamiliar to him, he was very persistent about the things he liked in front of him, so when you discuss this with him, you have to be more patient. It's best if you think about whether you might give up your plan to go abroad for him.”
Hearing him say this, Ye Tong completely fell into a daze.
Ye Tong took advantage of the fact that they had just finished making love and were hugging each other sweetly. She suggested to Shao Kai that she wanted to go abroad.
Shao Kai did not utter a word. The hand that was playing with her fingertips immediately became stiff. He did not say a word for a long time. It was so long that Ye Tong felt that the air around her was frozen by his rapidly cooling emotions.
" Kai…" Just as she was about to get up, Shao Kai got off the bed faster than her and went to the bathroom without saying a word.
Ye Tong got up and put on her clothes. She leaned against the window and looked out in annoyance.
The sky was clear blue, and a few faint clouds were swaying leisurely. Studying abroad had always been her dream. Falling in love was something that was beyond her expectations. She did not want to be someone who could only look at the sky from the window. Moreover, whether she and Shao Kai had a future was still a big problem for her.
" Little Tong..." Shao Kai hugged her from behind, the faint fragrance of soap wafting from his body. "Do you love me?"
She turned around and pecked his lips lightly." Of course I do!”She had never doubted this.
"Then don't go abroad. Stay in the country and continue your research.”
"But I've planned to study abroad for a long time. It's really…"
She tried her best to speak tactfully, but Shao Kai was still angry.
"Can't you change your plan for me? If you love me, this small change shouldn't be a big deal!”
"These are two different things, okay?" She turned around and begged," Kai, if our relationship is long-lasting, how can we be together day and night? We have a long time ahead of us, don't we?”
"There's still time?" He repeated her words unhappily. Forever was too impractical for him. "I only know how to seize the moment. Besides, who knows if you'll change if you go abroad? Who knows if I will change?"
His words really hurt Ye Tong's heart, but Shao Kai turned around and changed his clothes without realizing it.
"I will never change. What about you?" Ye Tong's tone was unusually serious.
Shao Kai was actually very afraid of losing Ye Tong, but he refused to give in. "I don't know."
Ye Tong seemed to hear the sound of her heart breaking. "You don't know…"
Shao Kai hesitated at the door. In fact, he was so flustered that he kept shouting, I don't know, I don't know how to keep you…
" That's true…" She seemed to be talking to herself as she said mockingly,""What right do I have to ask you to wait for me?”She took a deep breath and continued to ask,"What if I insist on going abroad? Is this the end between us?”
This was what Shao Kai was most afraid of hearing. His heart tightened, and he might as well leave this sentence before he left!
"Think about it yourself."
The door was slammed shut. Ye Tong leaned against the window and smiled miserably.
That night, Ye Tong packed her luggage and returned to her hometown in the countryside without leaving a single word.
Shao Kai stayed in the research lab for two consecutive nights. When he returned home and wanted to communicate with Ye Tong, he realized that she had already left. Panicked, he searched everywhere regretfully, but the only person who might know Ye Tong's whereabouts, Wang Yongzhen, disappeared after graduation. Shao Kai wanted to find no one, and every day he was like a defeated rooster.
As the days went by, his sadness turned into disappointment, and from disappointment to anger. His original love turned into hatred. He hated Ye Tong to the core!
One night more than a month later, when he returned to his residence with a tired body, he was surprised to find Ye Tong standing in the room, waiting for him with a smile.
Shao Kai was greatly astonished. It was obvious that the room that had been tidied up was filled with a warm atmosphere. However, all of this, including Ye Tong's smile as if she was admitting her mistake, could not quell the anger that he had accumulated over the past month.
Ignoring her existence, he coldly stepped into the room.
Ye Tong followed behind him and called out in a low voice,"" Kai…" She decided to give up on her plan to go abroad and stay in the country to study at a research institute. This was the result she came up with after thinking about it seriously at home, because she loved him deeply!
Shao Kai opened the small refrigerator and took out a bottle of mineral water. Because he was too excited, he needed a little coldness.
He clearly wanted to rush forward and hug her immediately, but his inexplicable self-esteem prevented him from doing so. Who was he? He was the object of every girl's dreams. No one had ever dared to treat him like this.
Ye Tong tried to approach him, but he coldly avoided her.
"This is not a place where you can come and go as you please.”
One sentence forced Ye Tong to lower her head. Shao Kai's heart was also in pain.
"I'm sorry…"
In fact, her "sorry" had completely melted Shao Kai's heart, but he just couldn't let go of his pride. He couldn't forget how he had lived every day in fear after Ye Tong left for a month.
" I..." Ye Tong tried her best to keep her voice calm," I'm here to tell you about going abroad..."
"No need!" Shao Kai's tone was sharp." You don't need my permission to make any decisions.”
Ye Tong froze. She didn't expect him to be so heartless. Could it be…could it be that he no longer loved her? His cold gaze made her feel afraid.
" I…" She explained weakly,""I decided to come back here after some struggle. I want to have a good talk with you.”
Her words entered Shao Kai's ears, but they were exceptionally ear-piercing. What was she struggling for? Between going abroad and him, she should choose him without hesitation. He, Shao Kai, did not want to become the choice of others after they gave up on a certain goal. Because his self-esteem had been hit, he became aggressive in his words. He wanted to see Ye Tong suffer because of him. He wanted her to pay the price for her leaving without saying goodbye.
"You don't have to struggle. It's meaningless to me. Anyway, you're just a goal.”
Ye Tong was shocked." What do you mean?”
Shao Kai simply took out a stack of paper from the bookshelf and handed it to Ye Tong.
Ye Tong read the pages one by one, her face turning from green to white, and then from white to green again. The hand holding the paper trembled non-stop, and after a long time, she reluctantly said,"What…does this mean?"
Shao Kai looked at the hurt expression in her eyes with satisfaction, but his heart ached for no reason.
"When you rejected me back then, I swore that I would pursue you within two months. This is the preparation plan for pursuing you. There's no girl in this world that I, Shao Kai, can't pursue.”
This fatal blow caused Ye Tong to be on the verge of collapse.
Every page of the paper clearly recorded everything about her, as well as the actions that Shao Kai should take every day. The terrifying thing was that even the rain and fever were part of his plan. She slowly raised her eyes, grief and indignation constantly attacking her heart.
"So, everything is fake, including saying that you love me?”
Shao Kai didn't answer, but he kept denying it in his heart. Under Ye Tong's intense gaze, he couldn't open his mouth.
Ye Tong's chest ached, but her tears did not fall. When people were at their most sorrowful, they really could not cry. Now that things had come to this, what else could she say?
She handed the paper back to Shao Kai and could not help but feel glad that she could still squeeze out a smile.
"Regardless…regardless of whether you were playing games all along, I…I can only say that when I decided to give up on my plan to go abroad, it was indeed because I loved you deeply.”
Such weak yet clear words shook Shao Kai's heart word by word. He stood in extreme confusion for a long time. When he woke up and wanted to chase after Ye Tong, she had already disappeared.
That night, it rained heavily. It was a typical storm. In the storm, he recalled how he felt when he was waiting for Ye Tong in the university department. It was a mixture of sweetness and bitterness. There was hope in the bitterness. He loved Ye Tong. There was no doubt about it.
But what did he do? By the time he came to his senses, she had already left.
After that, Ye Tong never appeared again…#
