“What do you mean by ‘these things’?” Ke Xueye looked slightly reproachful, “It sounds like you think this is meaningless.”
“No, I don’t think it’s meaningless. I just feel you have more important things to do, like getting into university.”
“I don’t think going to university will help my life.” She lost her smile, “Tell me, what good is a bachelor’s degree?”
“It can help you find a good job!” Yuan Xingcan said unconvincingly, even doubting her own words.
“Finding a good job, having a good income, so I can live the life I want, right?” She couldn’t help but laugh, “Everyone says that. The thing is, I’m already living the life I want!”
“This is the life you want? Volunteering in a hospital?”
“No.” She said seriously, “It’s about being an important person, someone who is needed. You don’t know, in a big family, an unremarkable child…”
Suddenly, she seemed to realize she had said too much and quickly stopped: “Never mind.”
Yuan Xingcan looked at her slightly unnatural smile and gave an understanding smile, “Xueye, I’m not someone you can’t talk to. Although I don’t know you well, I can tell you’re not yourself.”
“Not myself?” She sighed softly, “Isn’t it hard to just be yourself?”
“Perhaps. The atmosphere seems a bit melancholic.”
“Don’t worry, I’m easy to understand,” Ke Xueye laughed: “As long as I’m well-fed and well-rested, I’m satisfied. I don’t care about anything else.”
“I understand, but that might hinder my plans,” Yuan Xingcan smiled bitterly.
Ke Xueye raised an eyebrow, “Your plans?”
Yuan Xingcan quickly said: “I mean about the exams.”
Ke Xueye laughed, “Come on, I know you’re not a teacher. Xingcan, you don’t think I never read magazines or go online, do you?”
Focus had been making waves this year, and its two beautiful female leaders were particularly eye-catching. Though compared to Yuan Yueyan, Xingcan seemed quite low-key, she wasn’t completely unknown.
Yuan Xingcan blushed, feeling caught red-handed. Ke Nanyu hadn’t told her how smart Xueye was!
“I know you’re an image consultant,” Ke Xueye said: “I asked my brother last night, and he didn’t deny it.”
No matter how late, her brother would always come home and talk to her before going to his room to rest.
