good luck

Chapter 41

Dear Jingya:
It was very, very nice to hear from you.

I was pleasantly surprised and delighted that everything was as you said.I didn't expect Jingya that you also liked O. Henry.I once read his "Maggie's Gift" at the Chinese teacher's house. It is a very warm story. I believe Jingya you will like it too.

Jingya, you are better than me.Seriously, you've all started reading novels in English.I'm still at the stage of translation, and I haven't read a masterpiece in English until now.I adore you so much.From today you are my new idol and I want to learn more from you.Thank you for writing the Chinese translation at the end.I don't know many words, so I look them up in the dictionary while I read them.
Jingya, you study hard every day, right?Keep going, I believe you will be admitted to your favorite school in the senior high school entrance examination.

As for the novel you mentioned, I haven't read it yet.Go ask our Chinese teacher tomorrow, she should have it.But I think I will definitely add a Chinese version when I ask.

I don't know why the good title of "20 Years Later" makes me feel so sad.I am most afraid of changing things and changing people.

Also, I don't think you think too much at all, because the person who is writing to you now really thinks too much.

20年后？20年后。我还真没有想过这么长远的时光。20岁的情景倒是幻想过几次。听说20岁的女孩子最好看啦。20岁的时候我们上大学了吧。真期待。婧雅你肯定还是越来越漂亮。你一直都那么漂亮。我希望我到时候不要太丑才好。

Regarding your questions, I can't answer you with certainty.Because no one knows what will happen in such a long time.But one thing I can be sure of is that we will still be good friends 20 years from now, just like we are now.That's what I was looking forward to.

How should I answer your last question?I do not know either.

But I believe that Zhang Jingya and Park Anhao must have lived the lives they wanted 20 years later.

Happy Ending.
Shigu and I finally reconciled.As you said, the misunderstanding really needs to be resolved as soon as possible. I can't believe it. Shi Yu always thought that I didn't take him to heart.For a moment I thought he didn't really know me at all.Otherwise, why would he think that way.Alas, I think too much, and my own thoughts are messed up.In fact, after all, it was still my fault.

Jingya, when will you come back to Lianhuadu?Recently your grandma has been talking about you all the time. As soon as she saw me, she said that she should have let our family, Yaya, also go to junior high school in Lianzhong, so that we could see each other every day.I always say that you will probably be back next weekend.At the beginning, I really hoped that you would stay in Lianhuadu, but now that I am in middle school, I can understand you. Xiatian is really a good place.It feels like you can see a wider world.Jingya, you have always wanted to live in a faraway place.Although you haven't mentioned it to me seriously, every time we talk about the unknown future, your expression is always so expectant.I remember you said that if you have wings, you must fly to the farthest sky.Anyway, my dear, you are now on your way to a distant place.

By the way, today Shi Yu recommended a song by Stefanie Sun for me to listen to. "The Happiness I Want".After listening to it, I read the lyrics carefully, and I always felt that he was insinuating: use my eyes to find the way in my dreams, and when it is time to ask for directions, I will not pretend to be cool.I still don't know what speed is in line with the changing pace of this world...

Finally, how are you and Xia Tian?
well
