At noon, by Scholars Lake at Binhai University!
Lin Jie held An Kexin's hand, strolling around the lake under the dappled sunlight.
"Kexin, why didn't you study at Binhai University? Instead, you went to the Capital City with Du Feixue for university?"
An Kexin tucked a few strands of hair behind her ear, and sighed softly, "I was being rebellious at the time. I had grown up in Binhai, always around my parents, and wanted to experience an independent life in another city."
"My parents had planned to send me abroad in a couple of years, but thought it might be good for me to first experience independence in a different city in the country, so they agreed to my request to study in the Capital City."
"I regret it now, shouldn't have been so headstrong back then..."
Lin Jie knew she was thinking of her mother, and he squeezed her hand tightly, comforting her, "Time can't go back, don't dwell on it."
