Wang Yue, Fang Hui, and Lin Jiamo chose Polytechnic University. It was the best school Lin Jiamo could get into, so Wang Yue and Fang Hui applied there too.
Qiao Ran could tell Fang Hui really liked Wang Yue, and that Chen Xun seemed to like her as well. It left him feeling uneasy, so he simply left the country and went to university in the United Kingdom.
Naturally, everyone wanted to see Qiao Ran off before he left, so they invited all their friends to have dinner together one last time.
Several girls from their class went, and Fang Hui and Lin Jiamo had to go too, of course.
After a few rounds of drinks and several courses, Su Kai said glumly, "What's so great about going abroad? My girlfriend went overseas, and now you're going too, Qiao Ran. What's wrong with going to school here?"
How could Zhao Ye not know what his good friends were thinking? He glanced at Fang Hui and said gloomily,
"Some people just want to get away from a place that brings back painful memories. After a few years, they'll come back and be fine."
Qiao Ran hadn't expected Zhao Ye to say that out loud. He glanced at Fang Hui too and hurried to explain,
"That's not why I'm going. Don't read too much into it, okay?"
Fang Hui was much bolder than she used to be. She answered openly,
"It's fine. I think Qiao Ran is great, and I really like being friends with him."
Zhao Ye looked surprised and couldn't help asking, "Aren't you worried Wang Yue will get mad if you say that?"
Fang Hui glanced at Wang Yue and murmured, "Honestly, I wish he'd get jealous!"
"What did you say?"
Wang Yue and Lin Jiamo were close enough
