Determination

Chapter 898: Determination

"Then I'm leaving." Through the car window, Gao Fei waved to Ksenia. "Take care of yourself. Let's keep in touch."

Ksenia seemed to want to say something, but in the end, she merely waved in silence.

"Some things don't need to be thought through too deeply," Gao Fei suddenly said. "As long as both sides can understand each other, most problems can be overcome together. Even if they can't be overcome, as long as both people know why, there won't be any regrets."

Ksenia nodded woodenly.

Only then did she realize she still had many questions she had not asked. But what if the two of them simply couldn't reach an understanding? What if, in the process, she couldn't feel the other person making an equal effort? What if she couldn't love herself while loving the other person, and instead came to loathe herself ten, a hundred times more? What then?

She stood alone by the roadside, watching Gao Fei's car drive away.

At that moment, Ksenia suddenly felt very lonely.

She gathered herself and started back. As she passed the school gate, she suddenly saw Hesta and Cheng Xiaoshu coming down the steps of Wenhui Building ahead of her. Cheng Xiaoshu was saying something to Hesta, who listened intently and kept nodding. Occasionally, the two exchanged a few words, then laughed together.

Ksenia stood where she was. After not seeing Hesta for several days, she seemed not only not to have grown haggard, but to have gained a little more vigor—among all the young people lowering their heads against the cold, hands shoved into their pockets and limbs drawn in, she was not even wearing a scarf. It was as if the bitter cold could not grind down her will, but instead only sharpened its edge.
