Chapter 579: 395. Allow relationships to move forward
A beam of sunlight passes through the curtains and slants into the classroom, Priority One smiles happily.
Girls, after all, just want an attitude.
Perhaps for Zhong Ruixi, Mou Keyan’s sudden confession is equivalent to tearing open a seam in her world, forcefully squeezing a glittering competitor inside.
A future star set to grab the top spot in variety shows, seemingly out of reach.
But for Guan Yongyi, she didn’t really take Miao Miao seriously.
In her heart, there exists her own pride.
From soul mates to stepping into the sunshine, as she learned more about Lu Jincheng, she naturally disenchanted herself with romantic love by seventy percent.
Now when she watches various dramas with tugging or farewell scenes, she calmly mutters to herself: "Oh, so they’ve come to this point", and that’s it.
She wouldn’t be like other girls who are so sad they cry, lose sleep, get distracted for half the day, get angry over their unresolved entanglements, or let it affect their mood in real life.
Instead, she would be grateful that this is just a film, where characters have their own lighter autonomy and execution rights, and wouldn’t easily be tied down by various real-life environments or moral shackles, wanting to step forward but unable to move their legs.
An experienced lover is the best teacher, and through her ears and eyes, Lu Jincheng taught Guan Yongyi many things.
Like dealing with complex emotional issues.
In Guan Yongyi’s eyes, moving a relationship forward is the only path to solving real problems.
Or rather, regardless of whether real problems can be smoothly solved as expected, this is the only way to keep life enthusiasm continuing.
Drama comes from life; true life is absurd yet reasonable and should surpass art pieces by just a bit.
Sometimes, the emotional imagination of screenwriters or authors can’t keep up with the times, or their writing skills are not proficient enough, only leaving the protagonist with a shallow, transformative, fictitious beauty in a certain moment or even the final match point.
It’s far less interesting than real life.
After all, in reality, we follow certain life principles to some extent.
——People are dynamic, growing.
People only move forward, relationships too develop forward.
Conversely, any attempt to forcibly freeze a person or a relationship is doomed to encounter failure and pain.
Mou Keyan’s story is actually very simple.
She still wants to face the enthusiasm of life directly and explore further into this relationship.
No matter Lu Jincheng’s "official girlfriend" response she mentioned, no one should try to stop the growth line of others.
After all, we’re not screenwriters, and Mou Keyan isn’t anybody’s eternally heartbroken puppy.
Of course, recognizing it is easy, but accepting it calmly is hard.
The difficulty mainly lies in having the capacity to accept all results.
Because the one wanting perpetual dynamic development is more likely to become the protagonist of life.
She’s not only the protagonist of her own life but also a character on the growth line preferred by screenwriters and even destiny.
No one likes watching stagnant life stories, not even Guan Yongyi.
Compared to the dull-eyed Zhou Sinin watching variety shows in the villa, Guan Guan’s reaction was much calmer.
Still, the same notion, letting people move forward, allowing relationships to progress.
Respecting others’ choices, acknowledging their desire to move forward, and wanting to advance, is a natural truth, and there’s nothing wrong about it.
At the same time, keenly observing whether this relationship still has, or has some extent of challenging capability to one’s "happiness".
Only after exchanging honest views and judging them can corresponding solutions be offered.
In case others try their best, yet everyone’s positions are not on the same dimension, it’s pointless to be heartbroken or angry and waste emotions.
Just like what Teacher Yu Hua said, destiny has a more accurate perspective than us.
——One must learn to accept all hands of fate.
Moreover, from Guan Yongyi’s viewpoint, her real rival has always been Zhou Sinin.
Mou Keyan, the girl initially closest to Lu Jincheng, somehow found herself in an odd professional relation with him, which already said a lot.
In this, Zhou Sinin, who is also in a working relationship, is among them, but only Guan Yongyi sees it most clearly.
...
A man and a woman walk out of the Law School classroom hand in hand, strolling through Jiangcheng Finance University campus.
The sunlight after three is extremely bright, shining through the glass, hurting people’s eyes, and the glass of the teaching building reflects sunlight in a surrounding blue, mixed with cool early spring air.
The two hold coffee cups, circling the track, one lap after another.
Nearby was a football field shaded by green trees, with a few boys in sleeveless shirts running back and forth, their eyes occasionally landing on the short-haired girl, transforming into a momentary amazed expression.
"Baby, I really can’t walk anymore."
Lu Jincheng draped his arms on the climbing frame, raised his eyebrows slightly, looking at the girl beside him with a half-smile.
"How many laps exactly do you want to drag me around the campus?"
"Why, do you have other things to do later?"
Guan Yongyi tilted her head, holding the straw to her lips, with her starry eyes blinking like not knowing how to explain.
"A bit."
Lu Jincheng smiled gently, long seeing through the little schemes in her mind.
Previously, when secretly carrying on a hidden relationship, for various reasons, the two would always maintain a respectful and safe distance in Jiangcheng Finance University’s area.
Intimate gestures like holding hands, wrapping around the waist, cheek-to-cheek touching, would never appear on the main path.
Not to mention places like the track, which are crowded and full of eyes.
A university campus, with a pair of opposite sexes alone walking around the track, is in itself synonymous with ambiguity.
If a classmate saw it, gossip would likely fly everywhere the next day.
Guan Yongyi doing this was evidently wanting to openly bring her boyfriend into the sight of all family and friends.
Unfortunately, she doesn’t live at the school, has only a handful of good friends, and the one who cares about her the most is the one who least wants to see this scene.
Want to show off but don’t know to whom.
"Walk, walk, walk, walk, usually you’re not that busy."
Guan Guan pursed her lips. After walking around the school for almost half a day, not a single acquaintance greeted her.
The imagined scene of, "Hey, Guan Guan, is this your boyfriend?", then nodding with a smile...
Didn’t happen at all that afternoon.
Of course, this also relates to the Law School having four major classes in the afternoon.
She is Professor Li Suying’s protégé, and after private tutoring, only needs to complete the PPT assigned by the professor.
The faculty lecturers all know there’s a top-tier paper freshman this year named Guan Yongyi.
She doesn’t even need to ask for leave for professional courses.
...
"..."
This afternoon, Mr. Lu indeed had some things left unfinished.
He carried Guan Yongyi out of the school and went to a pre-arranged location.
