Meanwhile, Davi was still burying her face in her hands while the car kept speeding towards Blue City. She was still blushing. Her face, neck and ears were feeling impossibly hot that she fanned herself with her fingers.
Sei, you’re slowly becoming a natural flirt. You even copied me!
Davi’s emotions were fighting each other. She was undeniably happy that he finally made a move on her but at the same time felt a bit disheartened because she knew that he only did it because she somewhat asked for it.
However, after few more moments of thinking, she realized she doesn’t need to feel disheartened about it after all. She thought that she must feel accomplished instead. Thus, she clenched her hand into determined fist.
Mm. Dear self, this is not the time to think negatively. Keep going, because this might be a huge step forward, this could even be what you’re waiting for.
…
At a certain café…
Davi entered hastily and she instantly spotted the old lady sitting in the corner.
“I’m sorry ma’am.”
“No, I just arrived. Have a sit.”
After they ordered some drinks, the two immediately began their serious talk.
“Davi, there’s actually a problem about A University,” the teacher said.
And as soon as she heard her, Davi instantly felt anxious. A University was considered as Asia’s Harvard and it was her first choice. The university was ranked best in Asia and she really wanted to study there. That’s why, hearing there’s a problem made her felt quite nervous.
“I know A University is your first choice, and there’s no doubt you are capable to take one of the top spot and get a full scholarship but… the bad news is that, since last year, the university started requiring its scholars to live in the school. I know your brother is still young and I know you’ll never want to leave him. But this university is the best in Asia, so I want you to decide properly. I want you to think about your priority.”
Hearing the teacher’s statement made Davi bit her lip. She was right, if she’ll live in the school, she couldn’t visit her brother whenever she wanted anymore, something that she definitely doesn’t want to happen. However, what made her even more speechless was when she told her to think about her priority. That moment, Sei instantly appeared in her head.
My priority, huh… I don’t even need to think about it anymore, right?
That moment, Davi could only smile. She realized that her life was indeed not the same anymore. If someone would ask her about her priority two months ago, she would answer, her brother. And if Sei didn’t came to her life and someone would ask her priority this moment, she would definitely answer, her dream. However, Davi’s life already changed ever since she met him and she was well aware of it. She decided that whatever happens, she will keep her promise with him.
And to keep that promise, she has to give up A University.
“I’m sorry Ms. Lee. I’m giving up A University. I will target XiZe University instead.”
