On a weekend evening, Li Xiangnan received a note:

"Li Xiangnan, if you have any concerns about where you will go after graduation, you can find me at this address at nine o'clock tomorrow morning. Please note that I will be waiting at the door on time; If you're late, even if you're a minute late, our appointment is over. Fang Qiuyan. ”

Li Xiangnan was very surprised. This mediocre-looking and withdrawn Fang Qiuyan actually wanted to date him, and she was full of arrogance. Li Xiangnan tore the note and stepped on it. But I didn't walk a few steps and went back. He bent down to pick up the note, shook off the dirt that had stuck to it, and stared at the sleek line of words "If you have any concerns about where you want to go after graduation."

As the sun set, a colorful cloud dragged its long tail and sank with the sun. Li Xiangnan's thoughts did not stop as the sun sank. For several days, a very real question had been haunting him. Unlike Yang Yuru, Li Xiangnan is bent on staying in City A, or staying in other metropolises. Fang Qiuyan's note came at the right time.

"If you have any concerns about where you will go after graduation," Li Xiangnan chewed on this unusual sentence repeatedly. Obviously, this was a hint that Fang Qiuyan was willing to help him. Taste it carefully, the mediocre Fang Qiuyan is actually not mediocre. For more than three years, Fang Qiuyan never talked about her family affairs, nor about her ambitions and ambitions. Both are from City A, Fang Qiuyan and Huang Xinglong are completely different. Huang Xinglong likes to show off his life experience, and he has indeed won a lot of envious attention. Only Fang Qiuyan didn't buy Huang Xinglong's account. Whenever she encountered Huang Xinglong's self-deprecation, Fang Qiuyan either rolled her eyes or scoffed. Perhaps Fang Qiuyan has more superior conditions than Huang Xinglong. Perhaps Fang Qiuyan's parents, relatives and friends are in important positions, and they have already arranged a satisfactory job for her.

Thinking of this, Li Xiangnan's heart trembled. His eyes were on the note again. Unlike just now, the words on the note are not only beautiful, but also somewhat dazzling. He looked at the date and place over and over again, until he remembered it and put it in his pocket.

At 8:40 a.m. on Sunday, Li Xiangnan finally found the house number written on the note. On both sides of the palatial gate, there are two straight security guards, much like the guards in front of the provincial capital.

"This is it!" Li Xiangnan had already memorized the address of the date, but he was still a little uneasy, and took out the ill-fated note from his pocket for further checking.

"Don't look at it!" Fang Qiuyan's cheerful voice suddenly sounded behind Li Xiangnan.

For more than three years, Li Xiangnan had never heard Fang Qiuyan's cheerful voice. Fang Qiuyan came to Li Xiangnan like a gust of wind, grabbed his stiff arm, and walked into the compound from the stunned security guard.

Li Xiangnan's eyes were a little insufficient. The first thing that catches your eye is a row of tall trees with plush flowers, which Fang Qiuyan said are acacia trees, also known as velvet flower trees. Cross the green path, step onto the winding wooden bridge, and enter an elaborate pavilion.

"Sit down for a while and rest your feet." Fang Qiuyan pulled Li Xiangnan to sit down. She snuggled up to Li Xiangnan, with a smile on her face and a glint in her eyes.

Li Xiangnan's heart was pounding. He felt as many pairs of eyes shot through the small buildings. He lowered his eyes and looked at the lotus leaves and schools of fish below the pavilion.

Looking at Li Xiangnan's embarrassment, Fang Qiuyan secretly laughed.

"Yo! This is not the Li Xiangnan I know who dares to love and hate. ”

Li Xiangnan became more and more overwhelmed, and asked, "You say I dare to love and hate?" ”

"Isn't it?" Fang Qiuyan asked Li Xiangnan rhetorically: "Don't you and Yang Yuru dare to love and hate?" I should send you a blessing, right? ”

"I ...... Yang Yuru and I"

"What's not to say, it's natural for college students to talk about love. It's a senior year, and you don't have to hide your love with Yang Yuru. Now that everyone is worried about where they will go after graduation, what are your plans? ”

One sentence hit Li Xiangnan's sore spot.

"Actually, I'm very anxious for you. You are very good, very appreciated by the school leaders, and you are fully qualified to stay in City A. I have a very definite news, there are two allocated places in the City A Business Department this year, and if nothing else, then one of them is likely to fall on your head. But, it's ......."

"But what?" Li Xiangnan was excited when he heard it, but Fang Qiuyan stopped abruptly.

Looking at Li Xiangnan's anxious appearance, Fang Qiuyan was very relaxed.

"Let's go."

"Where are you going?"

"Go to my house. How, unwilling? ”

"No, no! There is no reason to be unwilling. I was unprepared, empty-handed......"

"Don't worry, Mom and Dad are not here, there is only a nanny at home."

Li Xiangnan stopped talking and followed Fang Qiuyan into a small building.

"Swallow, a guest?" The babysitter opened the door and greeted her with a smile.

"Auntie, my classmate is here, eat at home at noon, you go and prepare."

"Hey!" The nanny agreed, glanced at Li Xiangnan, and turned around.

Li Xiangnan followed Fang Qiuyan into the spacious and bright living room, and felt a lot of emotion. When I saw a family photo hanging on the wall, I immediately froze.

"Principal Fang?!" Li Xiangnan's eyes widened, and he looked directly at Fang Qiuyan, "Principal Fang is your father?" ”

Fang Qiuyan smiled:

"What's all the fuss? Am I not worthy to be the principal's daughter? ”

"No, no! I just didn't expect ......"

Fang Qiuyan blinked, and lost no time in asking, "Please tell me the truth, do you want love or career?" ”

"I ......"

After dinner, Yang Yuru returned to the dormitory alone. In the past few days, she has been in a trance, her eyelids are jumping, and she always feels that something is going to happen. She took a sip of water and leaned back on the bed. What makes her most unpredictable now is Li Xiangnan's eyes. Li Xiangnan's eyes were originally clear and transparent, like a lake on a plateau, like stars in the night sky. But now his eyes were no longer clear and transparent, as if they were covered with a cloud and a layer of mist.

"Yang Yuru! Have you heard of it? Dong Xiaolan asked with one foot in the door.

"What did you hear? Headless and brainless. ”

"Ahem! It's all up outside, and you're stupid to stay alone in the house! ”

Dong Xiaolan sat on the bed, grabbed Yang Yuru's cup, and drank it all in one go.

"Do you know who Fang Qiuyan is?"

"Fang Qiuyan?" Yang Yuru "chuckled" in her heart.

"Bang!" Dong Xiaolan put down the water glass heavily, and said hatefully, "We really underestimate her!" ”

"What, it's headless and brainless."

"No one expected that she would be the daughter of Principal Fang Kang!"

"You say Fang Qiuyan? You said Fang Qiuyan is Principal Fang's daughter? Yang Yuru listened, and the spirit of the spirit shuddered.

This time, Fang Qiuyan always likes to make do with Li Xiangnan when she has something to do, which makes Yang Yuru feel very awkward. At the beginning, Yang Yuru thought about it and persuaded herself not to be too stingy, and not to treat all the girls who came into contact with Li Xiangnan as rivals. But then I realized that something was wrong. Li Xiangnan was avoiding her, not facing each other day by day, even if she did, she would make a quick decision, and send her away in a few words. Fang Qiuyan was different, her expression became more and more confident, and her gaze became more and more compelling. Yang Yuru couldn't understand that Fang Qiuyan was still the same Fang Qiuyan, her appearance had not changed, her clothes had not changed, and the freckles on her face had not changed, but the charm of the sudden change was endless. Yang Yuru and Li Xiangnan have been in love for many years, and their love is very deep and strong, but they are all done in private, except for Huang Xinglong and Dong Xiaolan, no one else knows at all. Fang Qiuyan is different. She disdains to be sneaky, disdainful to dodge, and lightning and thunder as soon as she strikes. Yang Yuru, who was puzzled, finally realized after listening to Dong Xiaolan's words.

Yang Yuru knew that Li Xiangnan wanted to stay in City A, but he had no way. Since Fang Qiuyan is the daughter of Principal Fang Kang, she has the ability to call the wind and rain. If Fang Qiuyan falls in love with Li Xiangnan, and Principal Fang Kang is willing to accept Li Xiangnan, can Li Xiangnan still refuse? In all fairness, if Li Xiangnan chooses Fang Qiuyan, not only can he easily stay in City A, but his future is even more limitless. And what does she Yang Yuru have? Not only will she not be able to help Li Xiangnan, but she will drag Li Xiangnan back and become a burden and burden to Li Xiangnan.

Yang Yuru had insomnia all night. On the one hand, she loves Li Xiangnan, she loves deeply and persistently, if she loses Li Xiangnan, her youth and her life will wither and wither; On the other hand, she can't be too selfish and think about Li Xiangnan's future and fate. After a painful struggle, she finally made up her mind. Since you can't have the best of both worlds, let's choose the lesser of two evils. She should fulfill Li Xiangnan, and the only way to fulfill Li Xiangnan is to quit. The thought of leaving Li Xiangnan was as uncomfortable as a pinprick in her heart. But she had no choice. Instead of struggling to get by, it's better to say goodbye happily. She remembered Shakespeare's famous phrase "If you love him, give him freedom", and now is the right time to let go.
