"Self-esteem refers to a person’s recognition of their overall value. Simply put, if you generally believe that you are a valuable person, then your self-esteem is relatively high; conversely, if you think you have little value overall, then your self-esteem is relatively low."
"How does self-esteem co about? Modern behavioral genetics has long discovered that self-esteem has an undeniable genetic basis. Of course, the environnt also has a significant impact..."
In the afternoon, at the University of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
After the sound of the campus bell "ding ding" rang, Ning Youguang quickly concluded the class.
"Alright, today’s class ends here. If you have any questions afterwards, feel free to read relevant materials for deeper understanding."
"Goodbye, Teacher Ning."
"Teacher Ning, it’s snowing outside, do you need to escort you back?"
"Haha, be careful, Teacher Ning’s boyfriend might get jealous."
"Teacher Ning, take it slow on the roads, they’re slippery when snowy."
"No need, you all should go back and rest early too."
In the noisy classroom, Ning Youguang stood at the podium, smiling as she closed her book and wrapped her coat tightly, walking out of the classroom.
Outside, the sky was overcast and snowflakes drifted down, yet many on campus were excited, rushing outside to embrace the snow.
This was the first snow of the year.
Amongst the crowd joyfully embracing the snowflakes, soone shouted:
"I want hot pot!"
Which imdiately sparked a chorus of agreent:
"I want fried chicken!"
"I want spicy hot pot!"
"I want barbecue!"
"..."
The way young people celebrate is similar, but the food they like can differ.
However, Ning Youguang felt different. She didn’t want to eat anything; she just wanted to return to her dorm and stay quietly, quickly entering her deep work ti.
After she started living separately from Shi Wangyue.
She tried to restore her previous state, quickly calming herself, imrsing her thoughts, gradually reducing her desire for food, and learning to frequently reset herself, treating each day as a new starting point.
On a snowy day, darkness fell earlier than usual outside.
Many places on the University of the Chinese Academy of Sciences campus had already turned on their lights as the twilight deepened, and the increasingly large snowflakes t this light, covering the thin snow with a layer of soft gauze.
Ning Youguang clutched her book, her wandering gaze drifting through the crowded campus as she hurried northward to her dormitory.
On her way, she passed by the campus’s man-made lake, seeing a patch of erald green lake water, strikingly beautiful in contrast to the falling snowflakes, like jade, enchanting and captivating.
The eagerness in her heart to rush back to the dorm instantly beca less urgent...
Moving slowly like this resulted in her being covered with a thin layer of snow by the ti she returned to her dormitory.
Standing outside the door, she brushed off the snow from her body, as if dusting off accumulated dust.
Once inside, she quickly slipped into the small kitchen and began brewing longan and red date tea in a health pot.
Then, she opened the wardrobe door, took out her pajamas, and headed into the bathroom.
On a winter night, it’s comfortable to shower early, change into warm, fluffy pajamas or loungewear, and then drink tea.
After showering and blow-drying her hair, she put on the fluffy pajamas. The longan and red date tea in the small kitchen was also ready.
She quickly poured herself a cup, drank it while it was hot, and then poured herself another cup before finally sitting down at the computer—
It was ti for deep writing!
After carefully reviewing the Chapters she wrote the previous day, she had a rough frawork in her mind for what she wanted to write today.
After a mont of reflection, she slowly typed out a paragraph on the keyboard—
[Life is relationships, relationships are life; if you want to improve life, you only need to improve relationships.
Each of us cannot exist independently without relationships. Only by managing various relationships in life can we live a complete life.
The path of inner growth boils down to two courses: one is introspection and ditation, and the other is through relationships. To grow and transform within relationships, thereby gaining a better life...]
In the world, people who can live well with themselves likely find the most important things in life.
With a clear goal and plan, every day after Shi Wangyue moved out, Ning Youguang adjusted her schedule and daily planning, including her dietary habits.
For soone who was carefully nurtured and well cared for by Shi Wangyue for a year, suddenly living independently and aiming to achieve her ideal solitary state wasn’t easy for Ning Youguang.
However, she was also acutely aware that the current ti and space were exchanged by the child making certain sacrifices, so she cherished them imnsely.
Therefore, she disciplined herself even more strictly, determined to make the most of this ti to do what she wanted.
Working with single-minded devotion made her extrely efficient.
Quickly she finished two-thirds of the content she planned for the day.
In the anti, the longan and red date tea in the cup beside her had gone cold too.
She didn’t drink cold tea in winter.
The small room was filled with the warm, pleasant aroma of longan and red dates.
Suddenly, there was a gentle knock on the door, the person outside seed afraid of disturbing anyone inside, so the knocks were rhythmic and very gentle.
Ning Youguang listened carefully for a while before deciding to get up and move to the door to peek through the peephole—
She was stunned.
There stood Shi Wangyue, covered in snow, outside the door.
She quickly opened the door, and outside, Shi Wangyue held two large bags, looking at her with deep eyes.
This was the fifth ti they had t in the second month since their separation.
Both were trying hard to adapt to days without the other by their side.
After not seeing each other for a week, they quietly looked at one another, and the first things they said were: "You’ve lost weight again."
Then they simultaneously asked:
"Haven’t been sleeping well, have you?" Ning Youguang.
"Haven’t been eating well, have you?" Shi Wangyue.
Then ca a mont of silence.
After a while, Ning Youguang curiously asked, "Why did you co at this ti?"
Shi Wangyue’s deep and gentle gaze was fixed on her face, "It snowed, I was worried you’d be cold at night, and if you got lazy, you wouldn’t eat well, so I ca to bring you so things."
"I’m not cold," Ning Youguang gently raised her hand to brush the snow off Shi Wangyue’s body.
Shi Wangyue quickly stepped back to avoid her, "Cold."
Ning Youguang chuckled, "Then co in, I’ll get a towel to wipe you off."
Shi Wangyue followed her inside, carrying the two large bags.
"Sorry for interrupting your work," he said, noticing her computer screen was still on.
"It’s alright, I was just taking a break," Ning Youguang smiled as she took a towel from the wardrobe to gently wipe off the lting snow from him.
After she finished wiping away the snow, Shi Wangyue quickly took off his black cashre coat and tightly embraced her. 1314
