Inhale: Nervousness, self-evident!
As she held her thesis manuscript and wrestled with her nerves, she eventually couldnât resist standing up and telling Yang Su and Lan Qiqi sitting beside her, âIâm going out for some fresh air.
Iâll be back in a bit!â
Yang Su also stood up, âIâll go with you!â
âNo need!
Sit down, Iâll be right back,â she said, getting up from her seat.
As she was heading out, she saw Bai Yuchuan, Zhang Mu, and Yan Chenqing.
Seeing her about to leave, Bai Yuchuan raised his eyebrows, âAre you running away now?â
âDo I look like someone who would run away?â
Nanxi glared at Bai Yuchuan, unconvinced.
She then looked at Yan Chenqing standing behind him and mentioned, âHan Baobao didnât come but Lanlan and Susu have saved seats for you guysâ¦â
Yan Chenqing tugged at the corner of his mouth, and didnât say anything.
Nanxi thought, Yan Chenqing is incredibly handsome.
No wonder Han Baobao likes him!
But compared to Li Weihuan of her houseâ¦
Hmm, itâs a toss-up!
Thinking of Li Weihuan, Nanxiâs face reddened slightly.
Zhang Mu said, âNanxi, weâll go in first to wait for you.
You better not run away.
I have brought a camcorder.
Huanzi said he wants us to record the entire defense process and send it to him.
He wants to watch it!â
âWhat?!
Seriously!â Nanxi gritted her teeth, âNo recording, Iâll be more nervous!â
âJust pretend weâre not here, and focus on the defenseâ¦â Zhang Mu said, âAlso, it could serve as a souvenir.
After ten to twenty years, when our memories of college life have faded, youâll be thanking us for leaving you some memorable mementosâ¦â
Nanxi lowered her gaze and fell silent.
Zhang Mu playfully tousled Nanxiâs hair.
âSuch a little girlâ¦â
That action was gentle, casual, yet fond!
Bai Yuchuan gave Zhang Mu a tug, âLetâs go, let Nanxi get some time by herself.
Sheâs probably very nervousâ¦â
Nanxi: ââ¦â
âHaha!â Zhang laughed.
âAll right, letâs go.
Nanxi, come back soon, we are waiting for you!â He lifted his camcorder and gave a provocative smile.
Nanxi went to the small lake in the school, where the sunshine sprinkled faint little spots.
She remembered what Li Weihuan once said, âNanxi, if there comes a day when I canât be by your side to keep your hands warm, you can place them under the sunlight.
It will be like me holding your handsâ¦â
Nanxi stretched out her hand, her slim fingers distinct in the sunshine.
The corners of her mouth curved up slightly and she murmured, âIdiot!â
In a car not far away, a man watched, eyebrows slightly furrowed, as he quietly observed the small figure.
The scattered sunlight made her sitting under the shadow of the tree dress in unreal soft colors.
The young girl stretched out her hand, with her head slightly raised and looking pure and gentle.
This portrait, with bright and clear mood, unfolded little by little, making him feel as though something has hit him right in the heart.
Nanxi, do you believe in destiny?
Do you believe that our destiny would turn into eternity in this brief moment of gazing?
Do you believe that this eternity will birth love through its brushing against time?
Do you believeâ¦
Iâve fallen in love with you?
â¦
The car started, and the man in it silently cracked a smile while looking at the slightly tilted figure of the girl on his phone screen.
When Nanxi returned to the auditorium an half-hour later, a girl in a white dress had just gotten on stage.
Nanxi knew that she was the next one right after the girl finishes her defense.
The next one, would be herself!
