Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

Facing Wan Zhiyuan's blunt words, although Wang Xiaohua felt very uncomfortable inside, he quickly adjusted his state.

"Zhiyuan, I know everything you say is right, but I truly don't want to lose Jianjia. She might be the best girl I can meet in this life. If I lose her, then even if I am successful in the second half of my life, I might still regret it for a lifetime!"

Wang Xiaohua spoke his heartfelt feelings:

"If I lose her, then even if I achieve fame and success, what meaning would that have? If I can always be with her, even if we live an ordinary life, I will be content."

Hearing this, Wan Zhiyuan didn't know what to say for a while.

He knew that no matter how much he persuaded, Wang Xiaohua would never turn back.

Love is just like this; it is a poison that makes people addicted and unable to turn back.

"Fine. From now on, I won't force you to come to the laboratory or not. After a while, I will find a new assistant."

Wan Zhiyuan sighed. He was truly disappointed in Wang Xiaohua:

"Go. Go accompany your girlfriend. The laboratory is not a place for lovemaking."

Wang Xiaohua felt full of guilt:

"I'm sorry, Zhiyuan."

He apologized sincerely to Wan Zhiyuan, then turned and left.

The moment he walked out of the laboratory, his inner feeling was very bad.

But he also knew he had to make a choice.

Sugarcane isn't sweet at both ends; life cannot have it both ways.

And by turning around and leaving like this, it was equivalent to announcing that he had cut off his own path of pursuing academic research.

He could not turn back.

Because after losing Wan Zhiyuan's help, if he wanted to continue doing academic research, he would have to wait until he tested into graduate school to have those conditions.

And by then, he would have already fallen far behind other students like Wan Zhiyuan.

Not to mention, on this path he had no one to guide him. Even if he got into graduate school, his supervisor would not give him special guidance like Wan Zhiyuan did. Many times he would still have to figure it out himself, only able to grope around like a blind man touching an elephant.

This turn around was undoubtedly a major choice on Wang Xiaohua's life path. The impact of this choice on his life was no less than the college entrance exam.

Wang Xiaohua also didn't know whether this choice of his was right or wrong.

Only after many years, when his life was set, and he looked back at this choice from back then, could he judge right from wrong.

If many years later he lived pretty well, then he wouldn't feel that today's choice was wrong.

And if many years later his life was a mess, then today's decision must be completely wrong.

Bottom line, this life exam paper has no standard answer. People often judge right and wrong based on the result.

Wang Xiaohua left the laboratory and met Li Jianjia outside the experimental building.

"How did you come out so fast? Don't you need to do experiments anymore?"

Li Jianjia saw Wang Xiaohua and asked with concern.

"Just a small experiment. After I helped finish part of it, the rest Wan Zhiyuan can do alone."

Wang Xiaohua reluctantly squeezed out a smile, wanting to hide his negative emotions inside.

Li Jianjia immediately noticed something was wrong. She asked:

"Is it me? Did I affect your experiments?"

"No, how could you affect anything?" Wang Xiaohua laughed, then quickly changed the subject: "Come on, I'll take you around to look around. Let's not talk about experiments anymore."

Wang Xiaohua took Li Jianjia's hand and took her to wander around the school.

"Xiao Hua, I hope my presence won't affect your studies. You also can't give up your studies just because you're dating me. Do you understand?"

Li Jianjia looked at Wang Xiaohua with a serious expression.

"I understand. Don't worry. I won't give up my studies. We'll work hard together and improve together. I hope that four years later we can both become graduate students at Tsinghua University."

Wang Xiaohua said this with a laugh.

Li Jianjia returned a smile.

In the next few days, Wang Xiaohua accompanied Li Jianjia to play around during the day, and at night went back to the hotel with Li Jianjia to stay, simply not returning to the dormitory.

Because he no longer needed to do experiments in Wan Zhiyuan's laboratory, and now it was winter vacation, he had nothing else to do with his studies. So not returning to school wouldn't have any impact.

Also, he didn't want to face Wan Zhiyuan. He was afraid that as soon as Wan Zhiyuan saw him, he would scold him again with his blunt words.

These few days with Li Jianjia could be said to be the happiest and most relaxed time in Wang Xiaohua's life.

He put down all burdens and played to his heart's content.

Suddenly he discovered that besides studying, there were so many wonderful things in life.

In the past, he often asked himself, what exactly is the meaning of life?

If it was just to study hard, to get rid of poverty, for the so-called career, was this life missing something?

Now he understood. The meaning of life not only requires struggle and going against the current, but also finding a loved one to spend the rest of life together hand in hand.

In the blink of an eye, it was the end of the year.

Wang Xiaohua and Li Jianjia had already visited all the sights in Beijing.

They had already bought airplane tickets, planning to fly back to Guangzhou together tomorrow, and then from Guangzhou take a long-distance bus back to County Town together. After arriving at County Town, the two would separate and each return home.

Early the next morning, the airplane took off on time.

Around eleven o'clock noon, the airplane landed at Baiyun Airport.

After getting off the plane, Li Jianjia received a call from her mother Zhao Xintong.

"Hello, Mom, what's wrong?"

Li Jianjia and Xiao Hua walked out of the airport side by side, answering Zhao Xintong's call.

"I'm at the South Terminal 1 of the airport; you should have gotten off the plane by now, right?"

Zhao Xintong's voice came through the phone.

Li Jianjia immediately frowned:

"Mom, didn't I say you don't need to pick me up? I'm already an adult, not a child anymore."

Zhao Xintong, however, said:

"Anyway, I'm idle at home anyway, so what's wrong with picking up my precious daughter? Daughter, you wouldn't dislike me, would you?"

Li Jianjia didn't know what to say for a moment.

She actually just wanted to take the bus back with Xiao Hua, wanting more time alone with Xiao Hua.

"No, I don't dislike you, it's just... the tolls for this round trip on the expressway are even more expensive than the bus ticket."

Li Jianjia could only casually find an excuse to brush it off.

"What are those expressway tolls? Our family isn't so poor we can't even cook, and speaking of which, are you hiding something from me?"

Zhao Xintong suddenly asked such a sentence.

Li Jianjia immediately felt a bit guilty: "No, how could I have anything to hide from you..."

Zhao Xintong continued to press:

"This time you said you were going to Beijing to travel with classmates; it wouldn't be to see that kid Xiao Hua, would it?"

Li Jianjia knew she couldn't hide it anymore.

After all, she and Xiao Hua were already together now, and she didn't want to hide it; if she hid it, it might make Xiao Hua feel disrespected.

So Li Jianjai frankly said:

"Mom, Xiao Hua and I came back on the same plane this time; since you're here to pick me up, could you also give Xiao Hua a ride back to County Town on the way? Anyway, it's on the way."
