“What about you? Are you sure?” Qin Siting did not answer and asked her instead.
“I, ah, I’ve already confirmed it. I’ll go to the Medical University. Anyway, the best medical university in the country is in Hai City. My grandfather happens to be a guest professor there. I don’t have to be too far away from him, and I can still continue living in Hai City.” Shi Niange smiled as she spoke. “Aren’t I a little too comfortable right now? The class monitor and the rest are targeting many local and foreign universities. I’m the only one who wants to continue studying medicine in Hai City.”
Qin Siting was quiet for a while. He waved his hand and called the waiter over to add water. Then he suddenly said, “I’m also sure.”
“Ah, where do you want to go?” Shi Niange looked at him curiously. In fact, although she was smiling when she asked this question, she felt sour in her heart. This was because no matter where he chose to go, he would definitely be very far away from her. It was really hard to say if she would have the opportunity to see him in the future.
Life was not a novel or television drama. Even if she could give up her dream of studying medicine and her grandfather’s expectations for her in order to like someone, her grades were really unable to keep up. Even if she had begun working hard since a long time ago, most of her time from the second year to the third year was spent on tutoring. No matter what, it was impossible for her to catch up to Qin Siting’s footsteps.
So she was just more self-aware.
Furthermore, Grandfather had been waiting for her to go to the Medical University. She really liked this clean young man in front of her, but Grandfather had been waiting for her to grow up since she was a few years old. He was waiting for her to study medicine and even said that he would watch her become a world-renowned good doctor in her lifetime.
Although youthful love was precious, she could not disappoint her grandfather.
Thus, if she really could not force something, she might as well not open her mouth. She did not want to affect others’ path, nor did she want to make things difficult for others.
Qin Siting’s future path would definitely be dazzling. Perhaps one day, they would meet again. At that time, they would also sit in a restaurant like they were now with smiles on their faces.
She just didn’t know when this day would come. At that time, what would their identities be?
Qin Siting did not answer. He only saw her eyes light up and dim as though she had something to say but could not say.
“You’ll know,” he answered.
That’s right. It was useless to know now. If she knew, it would only make her realize the distance between them. She would find out sooner or later. What was there to ask now?
Finally, the hot dishes that needed to be processed by the kitchen were served. Shi Niange quickly got up and went to the buffet area to get other food. Not long after she sat down to eat, her phone suddenly rang. It was her aunt who had just returned from abroad. She passed by Hai City and had to go to the northern city to do some work. She said that she had bought some gifts for her to take out.
Her aunt’s car happened to be nearby. If she went out, she would be back in less than half an hour. She went straight there.
After seeing her aunt, her aunt handed her a bag. Inside were all sorts of food and playthings that little girls liked. There was especially a lot of chocolate. Shi Niange liked to eat lots of chocolate when she was young. When she grew up, she didn’t eat it often. She thanked her aunt and sat together to chat for a while. After that, her aunt left in a hurry to catch a plane.
On the way back, her phone rang again.
She picked it up and saw that it was a call from Qin Siting.
She quickly picked it up.
When she picked up the phone, her breathing rate changed. “Hello, Qin Siting.”
Qin Siting softly made an “en” sound. “You finished?”
“En, en. I am walking back. I’ll be there in a few minutes. I am making you wait. I’m sorry.” Shi Niange quickly walked back.
“All right, be careful.”
“All right, all right!”
In fact, she could not bear to hang up the phone. It turned out that Qin Siting’s voice coming from the phone was low… very seductive.
Shi Niange ran on the road and ran back. When she entered the Japanese buffet restaurant, she was still a little breathless. She ran to the table and quickly sat down. She placed the small bag filled with food and gifts aside.
“I didn’t rush you. Why are you running?” Seeing that she was panting and her face was red, Qin Siting frowned slightly.
Shi Niange chuckled. “I’m hungry. Quickly, let’s eat. We have to go to the library later.”
Qin Siting nodded. “Yes.”
That’s right. She had been out for more than half an hour. There were many hot dishes that were served immediately. Thankfully, she did not order much earlier. Before she could speak, the waiter brought over the same hot dishes as the ones earlier. It was obvious that Qin Siting had helped her ask for them after hanging up.
She thanked him and quickly ate, not wasting any more time.
After dinner, the two of them went to the provincial library. Sure enough, they met several classmates. Everyone listened to the teacher and came here to look for books. Although there were more than one revision book, it was impossible for there to be too many. Shi Niange began to worry. “Did we come too late? What if the books Teacher Zhao mentioned have been borrowed…”
“No.” Qin Siting walked in and headed straight for the bookshelves he had previously visited.
Shi Niange quickly followed.
If he said that there would be more, then there will be more. He accurately found the location where those books were placed. At the highest point, there were many students who didn’t see them when they were searching.
Qin Siting directly handed it to her.
“What about you?” she asked.
“I’ve read it last time. I don’t need it.” After Qin Siting spoke, he went to the bookshelves several rows away. Shi Niange thought he was looking for other books, but she saw him pick up a medical book and walk over. He sat on a seat not far away.
When she saw the book in his hand, Shi Niange was surprised. She walked over with her book and wanted to ask something, but she felt that he should have found the German doctor’s book that she had read the last time interesting. There was nothing to read now, so he just casually found the same author?
Although she had questions, she did not ask more. She sat down quietly and began to read and revise.
After reading for more than two hours, it was already evening.
Shi Niange’s neck hurt from reading. She raised her head and rubbed her nose. She then smiled at Qin Siting, who had also raised his head.
Qin Siting looked into her eyes and did not speak.
After a while, she realized that he was still reading medical books. She could not help but ask, “Is the book you’re reading very interesting?”
