Chapter 20 Simulated Course for University Students (End)
After spending a day in Sichuan Province, they returned to the capital. At home, she had never been so proactive before. The bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, living room, and even the balcony became their battleground.

This was her happiest day, but she also felt guilty towards Lu Ze, feeling that she had let him down and made him give up so much.

Lu Ze simply comforted her, showing no regret whatsoever. A happy ending won't just fall into your lap; you have to find it and seize it. You'll definitely lose a lot along the way, but it's insignificant compared to the ending.

They applied to different schools in the same city of the same country; she went to study finance, while Lu Ze continued his studies in architecture and interior design.

They started working together, and Lu Ze tutored her in English as much as possible. They were so tired every day that Lu Ze gave up his job and devoted himself to studying.

She took the TOEFL exam in May and was very happy when she left the exam room, presumably because she did well.

Then the two went out for a big meal, and it was during this time that Lu Ze revealed his plans to study abroad to his roommates.

His roommates were shocked because he no longer needed to study anything abroad. He could have gone straight to work, doing familiar and easy jobs and earning a good salary.

Instead of giving up attractive salaries to go abroad to study in unfamiliar places, they should know that they have already learned enough from studying.

Lu Ze didn't have any regrets, because he was indeed a person who loved learning. He felt that he still had a lot of room for improvement, so he might as well do it and come back to make money after he learned it, which wouldn't be a loss.

The key is being able to do meaningful things with her, which is what makes Lu Ze happiest, and he likes it.

The guys were all a little reluctant to see Lu Ze leave. They had built up a relationship over such a long time, and it was really hard to accept. Everyone was quite downcast.

"Come on, I'll treat you to a meal. Don't look so gloomy. I'll only be gone for a few years, I'll be there when you get married, don't worry."

Lu Ze tried to comfort the three men in a manly way, and they immediately forgot about the matter and started calling their families, laughing and joking, ready to take advantage of Lu Ze.

"Fourth brother, what are your plans?"

At the dinner table, everyone clinked glasses. Lu Ze took a sip of baijiu and asked, "I'm not quite sure what everyone's future choices will be."

"There's not much of a choice. I'm planning to take my wife back to my hometown. My dad found me a job, so my wife doesn't have to worry about anything. Let's wait and see. Once things are more stable, we'll settle things down."

The fourth brother held his girlfriend's hand and said in a nonchalant tone that this was what Lu Ze envied, and what everyone in the dormitory envied. He had a kind of spirit that the other three did not have, that kind of carefree spirit.

The third brother is preparing for the postgraduate entrance exam. He still wants to continue his studies, but he won't stay at his current university. He's going to study at Zhejiang University. I heard he's already passed the interview.

This was a good thing, so everyone raised their glasses to him again.

"What about you, second brother? What are your plans after you leave school?"

The second brother wasn't a good drinker and got a little drunk. His face was flushed as he stared at the light on the ceiling, took a drag on his cigarette butt, then stubbed it out and exhaled a puff of smoke.

"Me? I'm going home. I'm not planning to stay in this industry anymore. If I go into design, I can't sit still in the office drawing all day. If I do on-site work, it's all dusty all day long, and I have to travel all over the country. I can't handle that kind of hardship. Besides, my wife is with me, and I can't take her everywhere. So I'm planning to go home and do my dad's business. That way, life will be easier, right?"

Everyone nodded in agreement, showing no disdain for his decision to return home and inherit the family business. This was something they could only envy. Perhaps a few years later, when they reunited, they would still be ordinary office workers, while the second son would have transformed into a big boss. This was not impossible.

"But you know, I'm just a stubborn person. I have to admit I have the means; I could inherit the family business. But I'm also a little unwilling to just inherit my dad's business. I want to go out and try my luck. You know, I'm like this, hehe. I find it tiring and tough to try my luck, but when I go home, I feel bored and resentful. I'm just like that."

He had drunk too much. His girlfriend grabbed his hand, stopping him from talking. He lowered his head and gave a self-deprecating laugh, then downed half a glass of baijiu in one gulp before continuing.

"To be honest, I admire you, boss, I really do. But I also feel sorry for you. Why is there such a big difference between people? Why do you have to suffer so much and endure so many grievances? I still remember when you first came to university, you were always too shy to go out to eat with us. We tried to persuade you, but you wouldn't go. But when you were eating a steamed bun, I really felt bad. You're talking like I have a crush on you, haha. Anyway, I feel like you've sacrificed too much in your life. I feel sorry for you! Fill it up! I'll have another drink with my boss!"

The second brother's words were loaded with meaning, subtly mocking Kong Lingzhu behind her back. Everyone except Kong Lingzhu herself, who was clueless and didn't understand, got it.

These words were spoken directly from the second brother's mouth, without even being spoken to by his girlfriend.

Lu Ze was well-liked, and even his roommates' families treated him as a friend. So they felt sorry for him. They didn't know how Lu Ze had lived before going to university, but they all knew that he had sacrificed too much for her during those three years.

And what about her? It seems she really hasn't sacrificed anything. She just eats, sleeps, and drinks soup all day long, and is pampered by Lu Ze like a mentally challenged person, yet she can make Lu Ze sacrifice his time, his money, and his future life plans.

In their eyes, this love is unequal. Even though she loves Lu Ze, she doesn't seem to know how exhausted Lu Ze was when he was pursuing her, or how much effort he put into maintaining the relationship.

She didn't understand what the second brother was saying, but Lu Ze understood. He put his arm around her shoulder and smiled.

"What's not worth it? What I have now is what I earned back then. Life is full of ups and downs, but I think I've walked this path steadily and haven't stumbled, which is good enough. Let's skip this topic and have a drink." That night, they drank a lot and talked a lot. This seemed to be a common experience for many college students as they graduated. Even Lu Ze got drunk that night, but he vaguely remembered that the three grown men, including Lao Er, were crying uncontrollably.

Until that day, Lu Ze felt like the sky had fallen.

She failed the SAT, which means she won't be able to get into the school she applied to.

Lu Ze didn't blame her, because he knew she had done her best, but he didn't comfort her either, letting her cry her heart out alone in the room while he sat on the sofa, smoking silently.

She stayed in her room all day until Lu Ze said he would take her out to dinner in the evening. Her eyes were swollen from crying.

She remained silent during meals, as if she were dead, expressionless, not even knowing what she wanted to eat, and unable to speak.

"Or, I could just skip this year and take the exam again next year. It's a good opportunity for me to work and earn some money first."

Lu Ze asked her cautiously in a low voice, afraid of upsetting her.

"No! You've already passed the exam! You can't not go! I can't let you sacrifice too much for me anymore. I feel like I'll never be able to live my life without letting you go."

At this moment, Lu Ze suddenly realized that she understood the second sister's complaints, but she was just pretending to be stupid, afraid of appearing embarrassed if she understood. In fact, she was quite smart, at least her emotional intelligence was not lacking.

When she got home, her parents called to ask about her exam results. They were relieved to hear that Lu Ze had passed the exam, and they had come to accept Lu Ze during this time.

But when they heard that she hadn't passed the exam, her parents were devastated. They could see it clearly, but they couldn't, and could only lament the cruel twist of fate.

A few days later, they called again, asking her to apply to a school in the same country but a different city. She refused, because this was Lu Ze's plan, and even though it had been broken several times before, this time, she couldn't let it happen again.

Therefore, she needs to take the exam again next year.

At the same time, she began packing Lu Ze's luggage, just like a wife who had already married into the family and was preparing everything for her husband's departure, not even forgetting to bring his socks.

The next morning, Lu Ze carried his luggage and got into the car with her.

"I could really prepare for another year."

"No need, you just need to wait for me, okay?"

Lu Ze remained silent, accepted her arrangement, went to the airport, got his boarding pass, checked his luggage, and said goodbye to her at the door.

I hugged her and kissed her on the lips.

"I am leaving?"

"Lu Ze."

"Please wait for me, okay? I'll definitely pass the exam. I'm so sorry, so sorry."

She apologized a lot, then watched Lu Ze go into the waiting room, and cried her heart out at the airport entrance.

It's a pity Lu Ze didn't see it, otherwise he would have rushed over without hesitation.
The plane took off, and he saw her waving. He wanted to wave back, but the plane window couldn't be opened, and no one would let Lu Ze open it, so this time he couldn't wave so she could see him.

He closed his eyes on the plane, but tears kept streaming down his face, leaving a foreign white girl next to him looking completely bewildered.

At this point, he seemed to understand the third meaning of the second brother.

Perhaps what we call youth is what we succumb to in life.
