"These three universities are the best in finance-related majors," said Tang Xiyue.
He looked around and found that they were still chatting in the square. They had originally agreed to go shopping, so this wouldn't work.
I said, "Let's take a walk first and talk while we walk."
Wu An: “Okay!”
……
In this way, the two of them strolled around in the mall.
Tang Xiyue brought today's specially prepared tea, and the two of them were walking in the mall while drinking tea.
Attracting envious glances from passers-by towards the two "handsome men and beautiful women".
It doesn't feel like shopping, it feels more like taking a walk.
What Tang Xiyue brought today was not milk tea, but a specially blended lemon tea.
The juice is squeezed from hand-beaten lemons, mixed into a fragrant tea base, paired with refreshing agar-agar, and two stalks of lemongrass are inserted into the tea. The taste is surprisingly good.
Tang Xiyue is very clear about the advantages of the three schools he wants to apply to.
Beijing University and Peking University and Tsinghua University are super universities of the same level, and the two schools only differ in their specialized majors.
Because they are all top universities, there are no preferential treatment for candidates with high college entrance examination scores like Tang Xiyue.
However, as long as she is willing to apply, she can enroll in those two schools.
Renmin University and Central University of Finance and Economics have offered some preferential conditions.
Renmin University is also an old key university. Its admission score is lower than that of Beijing University, but its finance majors are not weaker than those of Beijing University.
In order to attract Tang Xiyue to study, the admissions teacher proposed a tuition reduction plan, so that she could get a place for an overseas exchange.
The Central University of Finance and Economics offers the highest benefits, including tuition waivers, scholarships, undergraduate and graduate studies, study abroad, and recommendations for employment in key banking units upon graduation. It can be said to be a one-stop service.
"What is your final decision?" Wu An asked her.
Li Yuhua put her hands behind her back, lowered her head, looked at her feet, and then smiled at Wu An: "What do you think?"
Wu An: “…”
Did Li Yuhua really ask him to help her choose a school?
Wu An thinks that is not the case. He knows nothing about finance-related majors, so if he is asked to choose, he has no way to choose.
So, Tang Xiyue had something else in her words.
Is she asking us if we want to live in the same city with her?
Or does she want to leave her fate to Wu An?
In fact, the three schools mentioned by Tang Xiyue are all in the capital.
Wu An instinctively thought about the "worst plan" - that is, he would exchange bodies with Li Yuhua in college, so he would study in the same city as her to facilitate communication.
The three art academies that Li Yuhua wanted to apply to were all in Beijing, so the city didn't matter.
So you just want to leave your fate to Wu An?
Wu An refused.
There was no way it could handle such a heavy weight.
But, an answer must be given.
First, I said self-deprecatingly: "If you ask me this question, I can't give you a professional answer."
Then he said: "If it were me, I would choose Jingcheng University."
Tang Xiyue raised her eyebrows slightly: "Why?"
"I think for someone like you who works in finance, connections may be more important than professional knowledge."
"Look, there are more top students in Beijing University. They will all be big bosses in the future. It's better for you to build good interpersonal relationships with them than to go out for further studies all the time."
Although it was just a casual suggestion, Wu An was able to come up with a reasonable reason.
It makes sense.
Tang Xiyue nodded and said, "Okay, I'll apply to Beijing University."
Wu An: “?”
Wu An: "I just made an unprofessional suggestion. You should think about it carefully."
Tang Xiyue said, "Your suggestion is very good. I agree with it."
She looked ahead, as if looking at the future ahead, and said, "That's it, I've decided."
Wu An: “…”
Wu An: "I always feel that I affect your life. If you are unhappy in the future, will I be guilty of a heinous crime?"
He joked, and also wanted to make sure whether Tang Xiyue was joking.
Tang Xiyue looked back at him and nodded: "Yes."
Wu An: "...Ah, I can't afford that. You should think about school yourself."
Tang Xiyue smiled softly, "It doesn't matter, I have made up my mind."
Wu An: “…”
I feel like Tang Xiyue is still joking, I hope she is really joking.
The topic ended there. Tang Xiyue noticed a nearby authorized fruit store and said to Wu An, "Let's go in and take a look. When you go to college, it's time to buy a computer and a mobile phone. I think you are more capable of this."
"Okay." Wu An nodded.
He does know a little bit about electronic products and stuff.
After some understanding, we walked around the street for a while.
Soon he walked out of the mall and started strolling in the city center square outside.
Feeling the summer breeze and listening to the songs of street singers.
After a while we arrived at a quiet place.
#129 Let's put this plan aside for now
This is one side of the square garden.
The light in the wooded path was dim.
The lights hidden in the bushes cast a faint light on the stone path, guiding the direction of the road.
Tang Xiyue walked in front of Wu An, and the faint light gave her figure a hazy golden outline.
Outside the woods is a lively square.
The noisy singing and dancing sounds were blocked by the trees and seemed to become distant sounds.
It seems like this place has become a quiet world for two people.
The two of them were just chatting about things in the milk tea shop, but suddenly fell silent when they walked into the grove.
As if something was going to happen.
The girl walking in front suddenly stopped, took a deep breath, and turned around. Her red skirt fluttered in the dim light, like a flower suddenly blooming in front of her eyes.
She seemed to have the same indifferent expression as before, trying to hide her melancholy with indifference.
She faced Wu An.
Wu An: “…”
Wu An's heart skipped a beat, then he calmed down.
I feel like what’s supposed to come is coming.
──After graduating from high school, everyone will go their separate ways. This is the future that is to come.
But Wu An still pretended to be calm, "What's wrong?" he asked.
"I have a question." Tang Xiyue pursed her lips, her beautiful eyes and thin lenses reflected the light of the traffic on the roadside.
Her eyes were sparkling.
It seems like there are ripples on the water.
Wu An: “…What’s the problem?”
He continued to ask indifferently, but was prepared to answer all her questions with questions.
"Do I... still have a chance?" Tang Xiyue hesitated at first, but then asked him word by word as if forcing herself.
Wu An's lips moved slightly.
What kind of opportunity is Tang Xiyue referring to?
Wu An seemed to understand, but also seemed not to understand.
But even if I knew, I wouldn't face this question directly, and I would subconsciously make a joke: "You have such a high score, you must have a chance to study in a university in Beijing."
Tang Xiyue smiled and smiled at her for a long time, then took a deep breath, and the light in her eyes became brighter and brighter.
It was as if the stars were blooming like fireworks.
She sniffed, raised her head pretending to be casual, and swallowed again.
Wu An knew that it was the action of hiding tears.
She pursed her lips again, looked away, blinked, and finally tried hard to smile at Wu An.
"Thank you."
Wu An looked at her and suddenly felt a pain in his heart, with a strong sense of self-blame rising in his heart.
Although he did not directly face Tang Xiyue's question just now, escape seemed to be the answer to the question.
This joke-like answer negated the answer "yes" to the question that Tang Xiyue really wanted to ask.
Wu An knew that what she wanted to ask was: "Does he still have a chance to be her boyfriend?"
