Only by constantly growing can one encounter better people and things on the journey of life.
It sounds a bit like cliché advice, sothing many people write in their high school essays.
But at its core, this is a simple truth. Many people understand all sorts of complex principles, but putting them into practice is difficult. While everyone knows harmony between knowledge and action, damn, how many actually achieve it?
Xu Lin thought that this sumr research program, since it relates to Yu Xinyan’s personal growth, why not go? Moreover, such a top university wouldn’t be subpar; the lecturers are all extraordinary people in their fields, experts, academicians, even Nobel Prize winners. It’s definitely worth attending.
However, after saying that, Xu Lin added, "But if you really don’t want to go, you don’t have to. What’s important is to make yourself happy, that is, to follow your own heart. For example, if you want to grow, then go. If you want to rest during the sumr, then don’t go. The joy of the heart is priceless, that’s what I think."
Xu Lin’s words were not just comforting words.
In the East Asian cultural circle, almost everyone lives unhappily and is like that for a lifeti. From birth through elentary to middle school, parents tell you to study well to get into a good university. At university, teachers tell you to polish your resu and prepare yourself for a good job in the future. Once working, bosses tell you to work hard for promotions and raises. When the ti cos, your parents tell you to get married. After marriage, it’s ti for children, thus, your life no longer belongs to you.
It seems people seldom live for themselves.
Therefore, Xu Lin believes that finding oneself is very important.
Why is one born? Because the previous generation mated.
It’s just that simple, nothing more than a man and woman sleeping together, getting pregnant, and then you arrive.
And many people are results of accidental pregnancies, just those few seconds, those ten-odd seconds, out of control, and the result is a life. Everyone knows people are lustful, often the bottom controls the head, and just for those few seconds of pleasure, you find yourself becoming a parent.
Coming to this world is so straightforward and plain, without so many ssy theories.
What to do after being born?
This is another very broad philosophical question; everyone has their answers, but perhaps there is no answer at all, only what others provide. For instance, parents tell you to be a good child, teachers tell you to study well and improve every day, and so on.
Thus, most people lack a sense of self, pushed along by others.
Hence, Xu Lin only seeks to follow his heart, act as he pleases.
Because he feels he ca to this world to enjoy life, not to shoulder great responsibilities, like becoming a great man.
Why the hell should I beco a great man?
"Xu Lin, then I’ll think about it!"
Yu Xinyan looked at the sky; she didn’t speak, she was pondering.
She felt that Xu Lin is very outstanding now and increasingly so.
In fact, she has always been paying attention to Xu Lin’s progress. The mischievous boy from junior and high school has now beco independent, reaching an exceptional level.
Yu Xinyan wondered if she would fall far behind him in the future, so much so that she couldn’t catch up and wouldn’t be a match for him.
She was a bit scared.
Yu Xinyan thought, even if she couldn’t be with Xu Lin in the future, she shouldn’t fall too far behind him. At least she could quietly stay by his side, as that’s all she asked for, not much.
"Xu Lin, then I’ll go to the Capital City during sumr vacation!"
After a while, Yu Xinyan, resting her chin on her left hand, looked at Xu Lin with beautiful eyes.
"Really want to go?"
"Yeah, I want to go! I feel I can’t fall too far behind you, otherwise I won’t be able to play with you in the future."
"Go for it, let’s make a pinky promise!"
Xu Lin extended a pinky finger.
"Pinky promise!"
Yu Xinyan also extended her pinky and made the promise with Xu Lin.
Afterwards, Yu Xinyan lay back down, resting on Xu Lin’s right arm, watching the night sky together and chatting away.
Ti slowly passed by.
Until it was almost midnight.
"Wow, look, the teor shower is coming!"
"Damn! It’s a teor shower! The teor shower is here!"
"Baby, make a wish quickly!"
The crowd exclaid excitedly; the teor shower is rarer than a total solar eclipse and much more beautiful.
"Xu Lin, the teor shower has really co! It’s so beautiful!"
Yu Xinyan and Xu Lin had already stood up, knowing this was about the right ti.
And now, the teor shower truly arrived.
The night sky was dazzling with a teor shower streaking across the sky.
The observatory said this would be the most beautiful teor shower of the century.
It was also Xu Lin’s first ti seeing a teor shower; whether it was the most beautiful, he didn’t know, but right now, he felt it was indeed splendid, brilliant, and beautiful.
At this mont, people were cheering, taking photos, and recording videos.
There were also many making wishes.
"Xu Lin, make a wish!"
"What’s your wish?"
Xu Lin asked her.
"Then I’ll wish to be with Xu Lin forever!"
Yu Xinyan shouted, "I want to beco very excellent and et the equally excellent Xu Lin!"
"That’s a good wish!"
Xu Lin gave her a thumbs up, "The key is for you to beco very excellent."
"What about you, Xu Lin?"
"? I hope I remain a handso guy forever, and I hope everyone around is always happy and healthy!"
"Including ?"
"Of course, including you, you’re my lucky little angel! How could you not be in my life’s plans?"
"Hmph!"
Yu Xinyan smiled brightly, her face full of happiness and joy, her pretty face looking beautiful under the teor shower’s night sky, embodying the beauty of life’s splendor.
You are my lucky little angel!
Yu Xinyan rembers that on the day the farewell dinner ended, Xu Lin said the sa.
