"Is that so?!" Zhen Yu was stunned for a moment.
At this moment, she realized that her private communication with Han Mingyue had indeed been somewhat lacking.
"What is your goal? Can you tell me?"
"Writing! Just like you said! Actually, I’ve been considering whether to pursue it as a future career. Since I finished my first novel, I’ve found myself enjoying writing more and more! My mind is always full of strange things that I want to write down and show to others! You wouldn’t believe how happy I am to see so many people commenting on my novel online!"
Zhen Yu was dumbfounded! Her mouth slightly agape, she suddenly felt as if ’after a long detour, things are getting back on track.’
After organizing her thoughts, Zhen Yu asked again, "So, are you already determined to become a professional writer?"
She thought Han Mingyue would nod, but instead he shook his head.
"No! I hope my future career can be more lucrative, to provide a better life for my family! But ideally, it shouldn’t conflict with writing." Han Mingyue paused here and then continued, "Since I haven’t yet found a career that maintains this balance, so,"
"Many careers can meet your requirements!" Zhen Yu naively interrupted Han Mingyue.
Han Mingyue felt that Zhen Yu was oversimplifying things!
"Like...a university professor?" Zhen Yu’s eyes sparkled with admiration. Content originally comes from novel•fire.net
Han Mingyue silently dragged her away!
"...Can just anyone become a university professor?"
"Others can’t, but you can!"
Zhen Yu blurted out, revealing her true thoughts.
Since in his prior life Han Mingyue was guaranteed for research, if he had lived until graduation, he surely could have stayed on to teach at the university!
Han Mingyue looked at her strangely, "Why would I be able to?!"
Zhen Yu’s brain worked at high speed, and in less than two seconds, she blurted out a sentence, "Because you’re handsome!"
"Xiao Yu!" Han Mingyue gave Zhen Yu an annoyed glance, his face suddenly heating up.
Zhen Yu hurriedly waved her hands dismissively, "Alright, alright! I won’t talk about it! I’ll stop, okay?"
The blushing Han Mingyue: "..."
When the two returned to their dorm rooms, it was almost lights-out time, and Han Mingyue quickly rushed to brush his teeth and wash up!
He had just finished cleaning up and hadn’t even left the Water Room yet when all the rooms in the dormitory building plunged into darkness.
After locking the door to his dorm room, Han Mingyue stood in front of his bed and groped under his pillow to pull out a flashlight.
As soon as the flashlight lit up, Jia Ming, who slept on the bunk below him, asked, "What are you still doing up if you’re not sleeping?"
"Writing a self-critique!" Han Mingyue replied helplessly.
"Hey! I almost forgot about that!" Jia Ming clapped his head, then quickly added, "Knowing you have to write a self-critique, why did you come back so late? Tell me! What were you doing?"
As soon as he finished speaking, another roommate joined in the teasing, "Exactly! Come clean! Were you on a date with a girl?!"
In the darkness, Han Mingyue felt his face suddenly become extremely hot!
Luckily it was lights out, otherwise he definitely would’ve been caught!
Struggling to compose himself, Han Mingyue steadied his voice and said, "I just went home for a bit."
"Ugh! So boring!" Both roommates immediately took it for true, knowing that Han Mingyue’s family had indeed moved to Qi City.
Using the light from a flashlight, Han Mingyue spent nearly an hour to finish writing two reflections totaling 3,800 characters. By the time he went to bed, it was almost eleven o’clock.
But once he lay down, he found himself unusually spirited! Not the slightest bit sleepy!
With his eyes open, staring at the ceiling, he couldn’t see anything in the darkness, but Zhen Yu’s face inexplicably appeared before his eyes!
And at the same time, her words echoed in his ears!
"Others can’t, but you can!"
Could he really? That was a university professor, after all!
Maybe... he could try aiming in that direction!!
After all, he knew he was somewhat introverted, so he did incline toward pursuing teaching or research work in the future, which coincidentally aligned exactly with Zhen Yu’s suggestion.
The moment the phrase "a coincidental alignment" crossed his mind, Han Mingyue unexpectedly burst into laughter in the darkness.
As he spent more time with her, he increasingly felt a special connection with Zhen Yu!
Sometimes, they didn’t even need to articulate their thoughts; a simple look or gesture was enough for them to understand each other’s feelings.
This feeling was really mysterious! But at the same time, it was also wonderful...
Suddenly, Han Mingyue raised his right hand and fervently pressed it against his wildly pounding heart! A thought flashed through his mind, "It’s over... now I definitely won’t be able to sleep..."
The same happened to Zhen Yu when she returned to her room! However, the one questioning her was Su Xuan from a Different Dimension.
Su Xuan: "Why are you so late! I was almost falling asleep waiting for you!"
"Sorry! I got online late today because of some things!"
Su Xuan: "What could possibly be so important that even calligraphy had to take a backseat? Did you go on a date with a lover?"
"...Let’s hurry it up! I must submit this competition entry this weekend!"
Su Xuan: "Yo~ Sister, you’re feeling guilty! Looks like I guessed right! In that case, the little gift I’ve prepared for you will have to wait till I can give it to you!"
"A little gift? Why suddenly give me a gift?"
Su Xuan: "No reason! Your work is about to be exhibited, how can you not have a seal! I happen to have some fine stone material on hand, so I thought why not carve a small seal for you!"
Su Xuan: "Hurry and tell me your future brother-in-law’s name! First thing tomorrow morning, I will send a piece of Qingtian stone to your brother, and have him carve it as soon as possible!"
"You trouble your brother! His... His surname is Han, Han Mingyue."
Su Xuan: "Just from the name, one can tell he is indeed a celestial figure as radiant as the bright moon itself! Sister, you are lucky! Hee hee..."
"...Alright, stop talking! Come and guide me in calligraphy!" Zhen Yu said with flushed cheeks in the room.
Su Xuan: "Sister, you have an extraordinary talent for calligraphy. In such a short time, you’ve already achieved what took me three years of practice! I think you can now try copying texts in a different style."
"Change the style? Which style?"
Su Xuan: "You can switch to copying texts in the cursive script."
"Can I finally write in cursive? Ah..." Zhen Yu let out a long sigh of relief; she really didn’t much like rigidly writing in standard script!
