After the new semester started, although Huo Qiran helped Jing Li get a new campus card, Jing Li never showed up in the library again.
She didn't show up, so Huo Qiran, who was met by countless people in the cafeteria, was alone or with other classmates.
It is inevitable to be ridiculed since then.
Because in the last semester, he and Jing Li spent too much time together. Almost every day, sometimes at noon and sometimes in the afternoon, there was always a time when they would appear in the cafeteria together.
After such eye-catching scenes appeared repeatedly, Huo Qiran seemed a little deserted this semester.
There are many girls who are secretly happy for this. As for boys, most of the boys directly joke about it and ask him where Jing Li went.
Where did Jingli go?
Huo Qiran also wanted to know.
She didn't seem to go to the city library, and she didn't know what she was busy with every day. Maybe she was busy taking care of Xi Xi, or maybe there was something else?
It's not like he hasn't asked her before, but her words of "I'll tell you later" made Huo Qiran unable to ask any more questions.
So, early on Saturday morning, Huo Qiran brought a bunch of things to the apartment where Jing Li and Xi Xi lived.
When she opened the door and saw him, Jing Li was obviously stunned for a moment, "Why are you here?"
Huo Qiran picked up the things in his hands and said: "My mother prepared some food for Xi Xi and asked me to deliver it. I happened to have something to do here this morning, so I came directly. Where is Xi Xi?"
Jing Li let him in and said, "At her mother's place."
Huo Qiran was also startled and said: "At her mother's place? At night? Is she used to it?"
"It's okay." Jing Li smiled and said, "It's just upstairs anyway."
Huo Qiran was startled again, "Her mother also moved here?"
"Yeah." Jing Li smiled and nodded, "It's more convenient to live together."
Huo Qiran couldn't help but ask again: "What about the Zhao family -"
In the middle of asking this question, he suddenly stopped because he suddenly saw the study materials Jing Li put on the table.
It was different from the ones he had seen before, because at this moment, the information on it was all related to the TOEFL exam.
Huo Qiran couldn't help being stunned for a moment, then reached out to pick up a book of information on the face, turned to look at her, "TOEFL?"
Jing Li couldn't help but cover her lips and laughed, "Oh, I planned to tell you after the exam, but I didn't expect you to know about it."
"Are you... planning to go abroad?" Huo Qiran couldn't help but ask again.
Jing Li paused and nodded slowly.
"Why?" Huo Qiran looked at her, "Didn't you say that you are going to study in college in China? What will Xi Xi do if you go abroad?"
"We will go together." Jing Li said, "Xi Xi and her mother will also go there."
Huo Qiran paused again, and his heart suddenly felt a little inexplicable and unexplainable.
"If they go there too...will you come back?" he asked.
Jing Li was stunned by this question, and then said: "Oh, this is all for later. Haven't I even taken the exam yet? If I get a low score in the exam, wouldn't all my plans be in vain?"
"How is that possible?" Huo Qiran said slowly, "Your English is so good, it's no problem to get full marks. You can definitely go to the school you want to go to."
He said this very seriously, so seriously that Jing Li didn't know how to answer.
The two of them looked at each other like this for a long time before Jing Li finally answered his previous question: "We don't have any close relatives in Tongcheng anymore. Uncle and the others can just contact each other occasionally... If we go abroad together, we should...
I won’t be coming back anytime soon.”
After a while, I finally heard Huo Qiran respond softly: "Oh."
He actually wanted to ask her if it was because of him that she made such a choice, but when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them in the end.
It would be too disrespectful to ask her such a question.
Everyone has their own choice, and everyone should pursue their own dreams and plan their own life path.
Before such a life choice, what did he, Huo Qiran, mean?
"So, which school do you plan to choose?" Huo Qiran asked again.
"Brother." Jing Li replied softly.
Huo Qiran nodded slowly and smiled slightly: "You wanted to go before, but now you can realize your dream."
"Yes." Jing Li said, "If it can really come true, then I will really...have no regrets."
Huo Qiran wanted to say something more, but his language organization function seemed to be temporarily limited, and he didn't know what to say.
"Hey." Jing Li gently poked his shoulder, "If I really realize my dream, remember to come see me when you come to NewYk in the future."
Huo Qiran paused for a moment, then smiled and nodded, "Of course. If you don't come back, then I will have to go see you."
Jing Li was quiet for a moment, then smiled and waved her hands, "Don't say it yet, don't say it yet, I haven't even written a word about it yet. Things that are too public will not have good results. Some dreams can only be realized silently."
Seeing her like this, Huo Qiran still just smiled. Finally, he whispered: "It will definitely come true."
