The game's heroine has come true? The aloof school beauty is in tears.

The plan represents a hopeful expectation for the future.

Having high hopes is a good thing.

Because as long as there is hope in one's heart, humans, a species with extremely strong adaptability, can endure all the torment of the moment.

It's like trying to quench your thirst by looking at plums.

When Cao Cao brandished his whip and loudly described the deliciousness of plums, the image of those delicious plums would automatically appear in the soldiers' minds.

Saliva is rapidly secreted in the mouth, and the brain automatically helps you overcome the current difficulty.

Unfortunately, the delicious plums turned out to be a hoax.

Cao Cao, an outstanding military strategist, politician, and writer, was not only a heartbreaker but also an illusionist, skilled at creating a beautiful illusion for you to fall into.

The saying "An old horse in its stall may still aspire to gallop a thousand miles" has deceived countless elderly people throughout history, causing them to defy the laws of physiology and ride horses into battle when they should be enjoying their retirement.

So Lu Yuan shook his head, saying with no interest whatsoever, "No plans, let's just take it one step at a time."

In fact, there was no plan between them at all.

Because the time when the college entrance examination ended was around the same time when his game ended.

Therefore, the two of them didn't need to plan for the future at all.

Because there is no future at all.

Lu Yuan takes this kind of thing in stride, because the encounters between people are actually like traffic jams.

When the red light came on during the evening rush hour, everyone was stuck in traffic and didn't move.

Their gaze naturally began to look left and right.

Roll down the car window to chat, offer a cigarette, or share a bottle of water.

If you're lucky, you'll meet like-minded people and have in-depth conversations; if you're unlucky, you'll have nothing to say to each other.

But no matter what.

The moment the green light turns on, everyone will step on the gas pedal in unison and move forward.

Because people spend most of their time looking at the road ahead.

The duration of the stop depends solely on the duration of traffic congestion in the lane.

So Lu Yuan didn't explain anything at all.

They neither fabricated a lie to say they would talk about it later, nor did they resolutely say there would be no later.

Saying nothing will prevent you from developing any lingering attachments.

Even though the Sagitar in the left lane left first, the Mazda in the right lane was left behind, sadly watching the departing taillights.

But we can wait until the lane is open to traffic.

The scenery ahead will gradually dilute this sorrow, dissipating into the air like drifting exhaust particles.

Years later, when he looks back, he'll just laugh and say to himself, "Who told me to drive a Mazda back then? If I didn't get stuck in traffic, who would?"

Therefore, when faced with Shang Qingya's questioning gaze...

Lu Yuan shook his head and sat on the electric scooter first. He was clearly not going to resolve this girlish sentiment, because no matter how he tried to resolve it, it would be wrong.

No need to say anything, just leave everything to time.

But Shang Qingya was clearly not going to give up so easily.

She walked up with a determined expression, her high ponytail bouncing up and down, wearing a white sweatshirt and light-colored jeans that she had bought yesterday.

To put it in terms of price, it's the most classic style, because big logo outfits have been outdated by trends.

To put it simply, it's a mass-produced item, because it comes from underground shopping malls.

"Lu Yuan, you've misunderstood me."

"The moment those words were uttered, the flavor of a romance novel immediately came through."

If there were no misunderstandings in the world.

Then Aunt Qiong Yao would have nothing to write about.

"I didn't mean to tie you down."

Shang Qingya shook her head vigorously. She said it was a misunderstanding, but what she was thinking was not something that sounded like something out of a Mary Sue story.

She was only inspired by Aunt Liu.

It's clear to outsiders that it's only a matter of time before Shang Qingya leaves Lu Yuan.

A rider and a student.

Even if Lu Yuan becomes the station manager, what does a small station manager amount to?

This still doesn't change the fact that he's trapped in this small area.

But Shang Qingya's world hasn't even begun yet.

When she leaves for a distant place, will the two of them ever see each other again?

"Lu Yuan, I am not an ungrateful person."

That was her goal.

She tried to prove that she wasn't that kind of person.

"Who said anything?" Lu Yuan keenly sensed something was amiss.

"It's none of anyone else's business." Shang Qingya didn't mention Aunt Liu's matter, but instead said to herself, "We agreed to go to the beach together and pay interest. I've kept track of every transaction, and I'll definitely pay you back."

"Didn't I already agree?"

"Besides these, there's more." Shang Qingya said, emphasizing each word with utmost seriousness, "I won't apply to any university outside of Beihai."

These words, if not touching, would at least sound pleasant to the ears of most people.

But Lu Yuan is clearly no ordinary person.

"What can you do if you stay in Beihai?" Lu Yuan asked this soul-searching question quite frankly.

"I..." Shang Qingya was stunned.

Lu Yuan is still as sharp-tongued as ever.

The moment his upper and lower lips touched, he was poisoned to death.

"Stop with the nonsense." Lu Yuan cut short the "touching scene," speaking slowly and deliberately: "First, you need to be able to get into a university outside of Beihai. Second, if you have a better option, go and study it honestly. Stop coveting my position as stationmaster."

"I have no intention of taking your position as station manager!"

"What use are you if you're not going to be the station manager?"

"I..."

Shang Qingya scratched her head, trying to refute.

But they found themselves unable to refute it.

Because it seems that she wouldn't be of much use staying.

Blame it on Lu Yuan for living such a good life.

"Are you cosplaying as a winged insect?"

That's why some things can only be discovered in life.

It was only then that Lu Yuan realized how strange Shang Qingya was.

When others are anxiously thinking, they are scratching their heads and ears.

She, on the other hand, spun around in circles.

The two of them were originally under a street lamp, the dim yellow light illuminating them brightly.

She kept circling around the light, like a little insect drawn to the light.

"Shang Qingya, just live your life according to the original ideas in your mind. Where the lights converge, there are only two kinds of things: dazzling superstars and rove beetles drawing circles. How you want to live is up to you."

That's all I have to say for now, I won't say any more.

Shang Qingya also accepted the reality that there was nothing she could do, and her once tender face was now completely ashen.

But her strength is that she doesn't back down when faced with setbacks.

Being strong doesn't mean never crying.

The crops grew again after the rain.

Shang Qingya picked up the helmet, put it on, and sat in the driver's seat of the electric scooter.

"The way you wear that helmet makes you look like a kid's idol."

"Who?"

"Super Jett"

Upon hearing this, Shang Qingya pursed her lips speechlessly, twisting the accelerator while squinting and saying:

"Don't underestimate me! I'll make sure you need me!"

"When others make threats, they say things like, 'When I return, I will surely cut off your dog's head.' Yours is so lacking in spirit."

"When I return..." Shang Qingya's imposing aura faltered halfway through, and after a long pause, she continued, "I will definitely make you beg me and say, 'Ya Ya, I need you!'"

"Don't worry, your brother Lu will never ask for help from anyone, even if it means dying."

After saying this, Shang Qingya suddenly fell silent and picked up one hand to adjust the helmet straps.

She said, "I saw the rental agreement when I was cleaning the room, and you never mentioned your family."

My home is in a very far place.

"oh."

Shang Qingya clearly wanted to ask more questions, or perhaps she already knew the answers but wouldn't get any anyway.

So after hesitating for a long time, he shut up and then whispered a sentence:

"As long as you don't say you're leaving me, I definitely won't leave you."

"When you say that, there are at least 10,000 people in the world saying the exact same thing."

Lu Yuan shifted his gaze upwards.

Look up at the crescent moon, beneath which lie hundreds of thousands of buildings and millions of faces.

I wonder how many people deeply involved in relationships are hearing the same phrases.

"As long as you don't say 'break up,' we'll never break up."

This is similar to the plums of Cao Cao, the great dream weaver.

deceptive.

So Lu Yuan just grunted in response, giving a perfunctory reply.

I know you probably don't need me much, and there's nothing I can do about it.

Shang Qingya paused, perhaps a little embarrassed, but still bravely spoke up.

She said, "But as long as you ask, I'll go with you no matter where you are, or how far away you are."

Lu Yuan closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep, no longer uttering any strange or bizarre words from his mouth.

Humans are such perverse creatures; they can do things even when they know that some things may be impossible.

But it can also cause the heart to tremble.

Because he knows it better than anyone else.

At this moment, everything is real.
