Laicai!???? Come!

"I said..."

"After graduation, have you thought about what you want to do?" Hua Xin, having regained her composure, slowly walked forward, looking at the gravel-strewn road beneath her feet, and asked softly.

The wind had subsided considerably, perhaps because they weren't at a very high altitude, so the howling wind couldn't mask their voices.

"What's wrong?"

"You're already thinking about these questions now that you're only a junior?"

"The kids who were poisoned by cell phones are finally learning to help adults share the burdens of life..."

Although he was teasing the girl beside him with a touched tone, Xia Yan couldn't help but look at Hua Xin with some surprise when he heard her words. He paused for a moment and began to think.

Yes.

If I only have one year left before my junior year ends, what should I do?

Internships and jobs are the ultimate goals and outcomes that every college student cannot escape.

Of course, if someone is a rich kid or their family has already paved the way for their future job and career, that's another story. But for most people, the ultimate goal of going to university is to find a job that can support them.

Stepping from the naive university campus into society.

It sounds like just another ordinary graduation season, something everyone goes through.

Xia Yan had considered taking the postgraduate entrance exam or the civil service exam, or finding a job that would be able to support himself for someone his age.

But for him before, the whole world consisted only of himself.

What needs to be considered is the future of Xia Yan as an individual.

Whatever he was going to do, it was simply a choice that, for someone his age, would make everyone feel "as expected," a choice made by the gentle and excellent Xia Yan.

Or rather, the Xia Yan that others expect.

Since everyone considers passing the postgraduate entrance exam or becoming a civil servant, or getting a job in a big company as "excellent," Xia Yan naturally planned her future in the same way.

But now...

It's a little different now.

The future seems long, and it will be a long time before the time passes. Yet, it also seems short; it feels like university is almost over in the blink of an eye.

What Xia Yan was facing was not the kind of thing those immature teenagers and idiotic guys who were lost in their own worlds worried about, but a girl who genuinely needed him to give her a better life.

As a husband and a father.

The dilemma and choices facing Xia Yan are actually quite simple.

"Make money".

That's right.

Does getting married not require money? Doesn't it require a bride price? Doesn't it require giving Hua Xin an unforgettable wedding? Doesn't it require a car and a house? Doesn't it require savings? What about the cost of baby formula after having children? What about tuition fees? What about their education?...

Thinking of this, Xia Yan, who had been walking for about two hours without feeling very tired, suddenly became sweaty and felt a sudden heaviness on his body.

Be on high alert.

The task is arduous and the road ahead is long.

Choose a date to enter the factory.

"I'll chop you down with one hiking stick." Hua Xin rolled her eyes at Xia Yan, unaware that something was wrong with Xia Yan's sudden silence. Then, she looked up at the mountainside with its expansive view in the distance and said softly:

"Because time seems to fly by..."

"I used to stay at home for several years, but when I think about it, I've only worked at the cat cafe for a year."

"If we're looking for a job, should we continue working for Sister Li Xue, or go somewhere else...?"

Hua Xin's tone carried a hint of doubt and confusion.

For her, nothing was as easy to accept as a gust of wind that came and went as it pleased.

Before meeting Xia Yan, she was just a good-for-nothing recluse who did nothing but eat and wait to die. She didn't work or go to school, and she could count the number of days she went out on one hand.

But in the blink of an eye, there's only one year left before my university years are coming to an end.

She wasn't sure what to do next, nor could she figure it out clearly.

When the intoxicating romance returns to the mundane realities of daily life, such as cooking oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, and tea, what we need to consider is often not just the beautiful future that we can't help but fantasize about.

People who have never experienced anything often know best what is most important.

She's not some aloof female CEO of a Fortune 500 company, and Xia Yan isn't some rich second-generation heir...

Uh, Hua Xin suddenly remembered the middle-aged man who looked a lot like Xia Yan that she had seen from afar at her grandfather's house during the New Year.

Whether it was the car she drove or the elegant and wealthy aura emanating from Xia Fen's mother, everything about her seemed to exude an aura unique to the rich...

If you think about it carefully, Xia Yan can actually be considered a rich second generation in a certain sense.

But this obviously has nothing to do with the two of them.

Even Hua Xin only learned about this after being with Xia Yan for a full year and a half. Having empathized with him, she would never say to Xia Yan things like, "If you just lower your head, you won't have to work hard anymore and you'll get lots of money."

Even if we starve to death, have no food to eat, and no place to live, we will never bow our heads!

Moreover, they are both able-bodied adults who are already self-reliant! Just as Hua Shanming treated her, Hua Xin also understood what kind of existence Xia Zhongshan was to Xia Yan.

So...

Hua Xin slowly stopped, a resolute look she had never seen before flashing in her eyes.

The path, trodden by seasoned climbers, seems to end here. The wide, steep plateau offers a clear view of the unobstructed scenery below. If you were to continue uphill and rejoin the path, it would be a more challenging and physically demanding climb.

And having reached this point proves that Hua Xin and Xia Yan have reached the end they were meant to reach today.

It was still quite early; we would probably descend the mountain around the afternoon.

At this moment, Xia Yan also snapped out of his reverie, looked up at the unique scenery, slowly walked to the girl, placed his hands on Hua Xin's shoulders, and said in a very solemn tone:

"I will work hard to earn money to support you and your child."

"?"

Hua Xin, who was about to say something grand and ambitious, felt as if her Dragon Ascension Slash had been interrupted, and wished she could give Xia Yan two more blows. However, at this moment, she didn't want to argue with the man below her anymore.

"Follow me,"

Hua Xin slapped Xia Yan's hand away, then pulled him to the railing.

The girl took a deep breath, then placed her hands around her mouth to form a "megaphone" shape. The ample oxygen in her lungs was enough to support a long, difficult sentence or a loud shout.

In addition, their slow pace, almost like taking a stroll, and the several rest stops along the way, allowed them to quickly leave their fellow hikers far behind and disappear from sight.

"Laicai!!! Come on!!!!"

Hua Xin's ethereal and pleasant voice became slightly shrill as she stood on Mount Fuji, bending slightly and shouting loudly.

"?"

Xia Yan's breath hitched upon seeing this.

But considering that this is on Mount Fuji, or any mountain, making a wish is a very common thing, right?

Although I know it's embarrassing to do this, it's not so embarrassing to be embarrassed along with my wife.

A smile appeared on Xia Yan's face, and the worries and pressure that had suddenly come to mind vanished instantly. Then, he followed Hua Xin's example, using his hands as megaphones to shout loudly along with Hua Xin:

"Laicai!!! Come on!!!!"

The two voices echoed here, then disappeared with the growing wind.

Hua Xin couldn't help but laugh out loud for some reason, and then she threw herself straight into Xia Yan's arms.

Xia Yan also laughed intermittently.

Their future will still be as happy as it is now, and they will strive for an even better future.

You might feel lost, or you might feel anxious.

But let's just say it out loud.

I always empty my heart of all my worries and reserve it for the person I love most.
