You've been reborn and you're going to go farm?

After locking the small storeroom door, Jiang Ye and Su Xiao chatted and laughed as they walked towards the school, seemingly unaffected by the outside noise.

Just then, a shout came from around the corner: "Jiang Ye!"

There was a deliberately suppressed calmness in his voice.

The two stopped talking and looked ahead. There stood a boy in a white shirt, holding a document bag with the logo of a well-known company. He looked like he had just finished an important meeting.

His name is Chen Cheng, a senior student, former vice president of the student union, and widely recognized as having a bright future.

"Hello, senior!" Jiang Ye and Su Xiao greeted at the same time.

Chen Cheng glanced subconsciously at where Jiang Ye had come from. He paused for a moment before asking, "Are you really helping your friend sell watermelons?"

Jiang Ye answered frankly, "Ah, I'm helping my boyfriend sell watermelons."

She corrected how she addressed her friend.

Chen Cheng clearly hadn't expected Jiang Ye to be so undisguised.

Oh, right, that's always been her type.

Chen Cheng paused, considered his words carefully, and then said, "Jiang Ye, I've always thought you're a girl with quite a personality."

Jiang Ye frowned: "What does senior want to say?"

Chen Cheng became more serious, his face carrying a hint of advice from someone with experience: "I don't mean anything by it, I just think it's a bit... um, a pity."

"With your qualifications and abilities, you will definitely have a broader world to explore and meet more outstanding people in the future."

"Instead of..." he said, glancing in the direction of the small storeroom.

"Hmm... confined to these small-scale activities, and tied to someone whose vision and circle are completely incompatible."

Chen Cheng's attitude was serious, even somewhat condescending; he genuinely felt he should enlighten Jiang Ye based on reality.

This overwhelming sense of "I'm doing this for your own good" made Su Xiao, who was next to Jiang Ye, instinctively tense up and then tighten her grip on Jiang Ye's forearm.

in fact……

She may have had similar thoughts in her heart.

It's not that she thinks Jiang Lin is bad.

I just instinctively thought that a bright and intelligent girl like Jiang Ye should be sitting in front of a huge floor-to-ceiling window in the CBD, holding a coffee cup, elegantly overlooking the entire city, and calmly planning a famously "high-class" life.

That kind of life suits her temperament.

Instead of having to worry about renovating a dilapidated 30-square-meter storefront and running around in dust and trivialities like now.

Jiang Ye turned to look at his best friend's face, which was slightly tense due to nervousness.

Faced with Zhou Qian's direct sarcasm, Su Xiao could retort without hesitation.

But Chen Cheng was different; he approached the issue from a more "mature" perspective, which Su Xiao couldn't refute, and she felt immense pressure!

Jiang Ye didn't immediately refute, but calmly asked, "What does the wider world and broader horizons you mentioned mean, senior?"

Chen Cheng thought she had taken his words to heart, so his tone softened: "At least it shouldn't be like this now. I think it should be a more advanced platform."

"With your qualifications, you have every opportunity to apply for internships at top internet companies or leading consulting firms. On these platforms, you'll be exposed to products used by hundreds of millions of users, participate in projects that can influence the industry landscape, and be surrounded by elites..."

He paused briefly, then concluded, "I believe these are the environments that match your value growth, not..."

His gaze fell on the small storefront on the street, a mundane reality that he considered beneath his notice.

However, he didn't say it.

After listening quietly, Jiang Ye smiled softly, somewhat helplessly: "Senior, you're really giving me too much credit..."

She directly translated Chen Cheng's words: "I understand what you mean, senior. You mean I feel that what I'm doing now is worthless..."

Chen Cheng was speechless: "Uh, that's not what I meant. I just feel that what you're doing now doesn't match your qualifications, and you deserve better."

Jiang Ye waved his hand: "I didn't mean to refute you, I was just sharing with you."

"When I was a child, my mother told me that what we call the world is just one side of the world."

"My senior thinks that big companies, big projects, and big cities are a way to broaden one's horizons, and that's true. They are indeed an important and exciting aspect of the world."

"But I think everything in the countryside is wonderful too."

"Have you ever tried catching eels and crayfish in the fields yourself, senior?"

Chen Cheng shook his head; even his expression changed slightly.

Jiang Ye's taste buds seemed to be tingling just thinking about it. "That really is a delicious taste."

She swallowed hard, her face flushed, and said, "Excuse me."

"I may not have seen the world that my senior has seen, and I may not be able to adapt to it."

"But what I'm seeing is something my senior probably couldn't have imagined."

"Neither is more advanced, they are just different."

"As for value."

She frowned slightly: "Actually, I'm not as amazing as you think."

"My professional knowledge is nothing compared to my boyfriend's."

"Being with him is not a sacrifice or a compromise."

"On the contrary, I feel that I have seen many things I had never seen before, and I have come into contact with a world that I had no idea about, but which is incredibly real."

"He just didn't set his sights too high; instead, he focused on what was in front of him and did his best with what was around him."

"But I believe that when all of this is done, one day, he'll look up..."

As she said this, her expression faltered slightly...

She meant that she could see the green hills...

She suddenly remembered that day when they were discussing what brand name to choose in the car, and Jiang Lin's expression when she mentioned seeing green mountains.

He said the green hills were the answer...

She remembered the phrase below the logo that Jiang Lin had replaced on the tracing website: "Rooted in the earth, looking up at the green mountains."

"So, that's what it meant?"

She muttered to herself, as if she had discovered someone's little secret, and a strange smile appeared on her face.

Jiang Ye snapped out of his daze. "I'm sorry, but you might not understand what I'm saying to you, senior."

"But my mother also said something: 'In this life, just be happy.'"

She nodded as she spoke, "Thank you for your concern, senior." She then pulled Su Xiao toward the school gate.

After walking quite a distance, Su Xiao finally let out a sigh of relief.

"Oh my god, how scary! This Chen Cheng is just like my high school dean of students!"

As she spoke, she grabbed Jiang Ye's arm again, exclaiming, "You were so cool just now!"

"If I were Jiang Lin, I would probably be moved to tears if I heard these words."

"Hehe, my mom said... Chen's CPU is probably going to overheat!"

Chen Cheng stood there for a long time, watching the two figures disappear at the school gate.

He looked down at the offer letter in his hand, and unconsciously clenched it tighter.

After a long silence, he let out a cold laugh.

"childish!"
