I don't know why, Xie Yuqing hesitated for a moment, and her refusal turned into a sentence, "Okay, let's go and have a look."
Although she heard that these Chinese classmates were either the second generation of rich people or from strong backgrounds, she, a child from an ordinary family, did not have the capital to spend extravagance with them, but she had a lot of experience, and she was a major in aerospace, which relied on her rich imagination.
Shirley Jiang was very happy and pulled her and said, "Great, let's go, I'll take you to meet some new friends."
Probably because of her calm and good temper, Xie Yuqing quickly made some new friends. Her friends were very kind to her and loyal enough. They took her around Europe during holidays and gave her expensive gifts on her birthday.
Britain seemed to be in chaos, with news about murders and suicides often appearing in local newspapers, but those things were far away from her.
She quickly integrated into the new circle.
Her gentle personality and excellent grades made her stand out among outstanding students, and she soon gained a good reputation. Half a year later, she was elected as the president of the student union, managing various club activities.
Gradually, she got used to participating in sports in her free time, such as kayaking, cricket, archery... including chess. In order to improve her leadership skills and better help some international students, she took the initiative to participate in competitions between colleges, while studying
Not far behind, she has published papers in major academic newspapers and journals and received good reviews.
A rising star.
This is what the instructors said about her.
When her senior year as an exchange student expired, Xie Yuqing got her green card and decided to stay and continue her academic studies.
It was also that year that she heard a piece of news from Yue Ke, whom she had not contacted for a long time -
The school bully in high school, the handsome young man who had marked her adolescence - Yu Qing, died suddenly and unexpectedly.
After asking a few more questions, she learned that he was also in the UK. A few days ago, a fire broke out while he was resting in a private convalescent home in Edinburgh and he could not escape.
When she heard the news, she was a little shocked, more in a daze.
I always felt that such a lively and carefree young man should not end up like that.
But she soon felt relieved.
Everyone is walking on a different path in life and will always encounter various accidents.
The color that amazed her at the beginning has not disappeared, but has long been imprinted on the mottled memory, turning into a beautiful memory.
Looking back now, I think about myself at that time, naive and young.
She secretly vowed to make her parents regret it, but in the end, they actually reconciled. It turned out that she was the only one who was hurt in the noisy adult world.
And Yue Ke.
She had deliberately distanced herself from him because she noticed his feelings. As a result, she felt embarrassed again after he and Lu Youyou got together. Three years later, when she looked at them again, she felt at peace.
Everything in the past has become a meaningful stroke on the wall of memory, which will fade but never disappear.
Xie Yuqing couldn't help but recall everything about high school, and her heart was calm. Those days were far away from her, and it felt like a lifetime ago when she thought about them again.
But suddenly someone patted her shoulder and asked in surprise, "Vita, why are you crying?"
Only then did she realize that she was crying.
"Ah, it's okay." She hurriedly wiped away her tears and told the other party with a wry smile, "I just heard the news that a high school classmate of mine passed away."
"Ah, my condolences."
"Well...it's actually nothing. I have almost no interaction with him. Maybe he doesn't even know who I am. I don't know what happened, but I suddenly felt a little sad."
