CHAPTER 514: CHAPTER 513: AS LONG AS IT’S YOU

After over a minute, Zhen Yu finally pursed her lips and asked softly, "Can’t you say it?"

Han Mingyue slowly shook her head, "No!"

"What is it then?"

Han Mingyue didn’t know if his answer would satisfy Zhen Yu, but he decided to tell her anyway.

"I don’t know what I like about you exactly, but if I have to say something... it must be the feeling! I feel that I really enjoy being with you, even if we do nothing."

Amidst Han Mingyue’s anxious and expectant gaze, Zhen Yu burst out laughing with a ’pu-chi’!

"Tell me the truth! Did you have candy tonight?"

Han Mingyue shook his head cluelessly: "Nope!"

It was the first time Zhen Yu, trying to hold back her laughter, said like a silly goose, "Let’s walk a bit further!"

"Oh, okay then." Han Mingyue agreed and let go of one of Zhen Yu’s hands.

...

As they walked on, Han Mingyue suddenly tilted his head and said, "Xiao Yu."

"Mhm." Zhen Yu responded.

"I want to ask you the same question."

Zhen Yu paused for a moment, then turned to him and said, "What do I like about you?!"

Han Mingyue felt a bit embarrassed but nodded anyway, "Yeah!"

Zhen Yu’s lips curled up slightly, cheerfully saying, "That’s a lot!"

"Ah?!" Han Mingyue didn’t expect such an answer and hurriedly asked, "Like what?"

Zhen Yu blurted out: "Like how handsome you are!"

"!"

Han Mingyue’s face instantly turned red! After stammering for a bit, he finally managed to say, "I’m serious!!"

"I’m serious too!" Zhen Yu’s voice revealed a hint of joy.

Han Mingyue took a deep breath, and after a while, he finally squeezed out another sentence!

"Besides that?!"

"Hmm..." Zhen Yu pretended to think for a moment, then suddenly said, "That’s it!"

"What?!" Han Mingyue was left speechless, momentarily unsure of what to say!

Until... "Ha!"

Zhen Yu couldn’t help but laugh out loud, and Han Mingyue finally realized he had been teased!

"Xiao Yu!" Han Mingyue angrily gritted his teeth and pulled Zhen Yu into his arms! He held her tightly, grinding his teeth: "So, you agreed to be with me just because of my looks?!"

Zhen Yu nodded twice in his arms, her voice muffled as it came through the gap of his down jacket.

"Yeah! Really!"

Han Mingyue, amused and exasperated, couldn’t help but vigorously ruffle her hair, "Stop kidding!"

"...Alright! There’s too much to mention! As long as it’s you, I like it!" Zhen Yu’s face, lifted and tender, seemed to radiate a soft glow in the night.

Watching her, Han Mingyue’s Adam’s apple bobbed, and then he quickly turned away.

"Zhen Yu..."

"Han Mingyue, could you answer me seriously, do you miss arts or sciences more?" Zhen Yu, leaning in Han Mingyue’s arms, suddenly asked.

"Let me think." Han Mingyue’s reasoning quickly returned, and after analyzing his own strengths and weaknesses, he finally answered: "Arts!"

Zhen Yu spoke very seriously: "You’re quite serious about this, right?"

Han Mingyue quickly nodded. "Yes! I don’t favor any particular subjects—I’m fine with both arts and sciences."

"So why did you still decide to choose humanities?"

Zhen Yu really wanted to know what he truly thought deep down.

"Because I think if I study humanities, I might score higher on the college entrance exam! That way, I can get into a better university!"

Zhen Yu suddenly understood. "So that’s what you were thinking!"

Isn’t this exactly what most students think?! She seemed to have thought so in her past life too...

"Is there something wrong with thinking this way?" After posing the question, Han Mingyue didn’t wait for Zhen Yu to answer, but quickly added: "What about you? What do you want to choose? Most importantly, which subject do you like?!"

—

His question suddenly threw Zhen Yu into her memories.

Which subject do I like?! Hah...

In her previous life, she was so busy working that she had no time to memorize humanities textbooks, so she could only choose science! Then, with her half-baked skills, she only managed to get into a community college!

But to say that she really loved sciences—that wasn’t truly the case!!

She, like Han Mingyue, felt the same about arts and sciences in the past—choosing whichever would score higher.

But this lifetime, having a systematic approach, there shouldn’t be any difference in her exam scores for arts or sciences!

So, if she were to think about college entrance scores as the premise again, it would be a dead end.

In that case, of course, she should choose humanities, which she currently likes and Han Mingyue also chose!

Since her calligraphy skills improved rapidly, Zhen Yu loved it more and more the more she practiced! On days she didn’t practice, it felt as if her body was uncomfortable! And due to her passion for calligraphy, she also developed a strong interest in history and literature, always listening with keen interest whenever there was knowledge related to calligraphy discussed!

Thinking about this, Zhen Yu firmly said: "I’ll choose humanities too! Not because of you this time! Nor because of the college entrance scores! It’s because I like it! So I choose humanities!"

"So your initial thought about choosing humanities was actually because of me?!" Han Mingyue sighed.

Zhen Yu: "Uh, not entirely..."

Han Mingyue tightened his arms around Zhen Yu’s waist and candidly said: "Actually, I also think that studying humanities could possibly result in higher college entrance scores for you! But if you don’t like it, or you just want to be in the same class as me, I, I would feel,"

"Feel what?"

"I would feel it’s not quite fair to you!"

Zhen Yu grinned. "Now you don’t have to feel that way! Even if you switch to sciences right now, I won’t join you! I want to live my life devoted to calligraphy!"

Han Mingyue suddenly put on a pitiful expression: "Is calligraphy handsomer than me? You actually want to spend your life with it! What about me then?"

"Cough! Stop joking! We should head back..."

"I want one more minute of hug!"

"... Okay."

—

On the way back to the dormitory, Zhen Yu casually brought up Beijing University.

"The best humanities university in the country is Beijing University, how about we aim for that?"

Although Han Mingyue felt the goal was a bit ambitious, he still nodded.

"Okay! You decide! I’ll just work hard!"

After getting such a response, Zhen Yu fell silent for a moment. After a while, she softly said: "Han Mingyue, do you have your own goals? Do you have something you want to stick to? I don’t hope for you to be so obedient all the time..."

Han Mingyue was taken aback for a moment! Then, he unexpectedly stopped in his tracks at the edge of the sports field.

"I have goals, and I also have things I want to stick to! But so far, none of these conflict with what you’ve said!"
