Going home for the New Year during the winter break, I encountered a cool school girl on the high-sp

"How can the difference between people be so great..."

Holding her phone, Tian Tian muttered to herself, feeling as if a small pebble had been thrown into her heart, causing ripples that lingered for a long time.

A strange emotion welled up in her chest—envy,感慨, and a hint of resentment that she herself hadn't even noticed.

Chen Yuanyuan, on the other end of the phone, was unaware of her best friend's inner turmoil. Seeing that the wall clock pointed to three in the afternoon, and knowing that the studio was busy at that time, and that she had been out answering the phone for quite some time, she quickly said:
"Sweetie, I'm still at work, I have to talk to you now, I'll contact you later!"

"Hey, Yuanyuan, wait a minute! Your brother..." Tian Tian was anxious and quickly tried to ask.

However, all she received in response was a busy signal.

"...Do you need more people?"

Tian Tian finished speaking softly into the busy tone, a hint of disappointment flashing across her face.

She originally wanted to ask if Chen Chen's studio still needed summer workers, as she wanted to work there too.

Even if she was an unpaid intern, even if all she did was serve tea and water and clean, she was willing to do it.

She just wanted... to be closer to that shining person.

However, the words stuck in his throat and he couldn't bring himself to ask them.

Tian Tian slowly put down her phone, scratching her hair in frustration.

What was she thinking?

She was just a soon-to-be college student who had just finished the college entrance examination, and apart from being Yuanyuan's best friend, she could be described as "useless".

Moreover, that person already had someone unreachable by his side.

However, subconsciously, she hoped that she could have the opportunity to meet someone as outstanding as him.

But the impulse to do something had passed, replaced by deeper hesitation and a sense of inferiority.

She glanced at the comic book spread out on her desk, then at the bright sunlight outside the window that seemed to have nothing to do with her, and let out a long sigh.

"Ugh……"

Maybe I'm just suited to staying home, lying around, and binge-watching TV shows.

The moment the thought popped into her head, even she found it somewhat annoying. Frustrated, Tian Tian stood up and paced back and forth in the room.

No! She can't let this go!
She picked up her phone, scrolled to Chen Yuanyuan's WeChat, hovered her finger above the input box, hesitated for a long time, but ultimately did not type anything.

or……

Once school starts, should I go directly to Jiangcheng to find Yuanyuan?
Anyway, she had already enrolled in the accounting program at Jiangcheng University.

We can ask again later.

The idea sparked her interest, but it quickly faded.

That was too impulsive. Besides, Chen Chen and the others are so busy, would they welcome this "uninvited guest"?

For a moment, Tian Tian's heart felt like it had been scratched by a cat's claws, filled with unease and confusion.

The word "gap" resurfaced clearly in her mind, causing her to waver for the first time over her current "taken-for-granted" relaxation.

Chen Yuanyuan had no idea what Tian Tian was thinking.

After hanging up the phone, she continued to immerse herself in her busy work.

At this critical juncture, even though she was just a newcomer, she was assigned a very important task.

She loves the work environment here.

Everyone was full of energy.

It was even more inspiring than the 100 days leading up to their college entrance exams.

Just then, a cup of milk tea with a faint jasmine fragrance quietly appeared beside her.

"Yuanyuan, please have some milk tea."

Lin Muxi placed a cup of "Bo Ya's Broken Strings" on Chen Yuanyuan's table.

Chen Yuanyuan's eyes lit up. She took the milk tea and said excitedly, "Thank you, sister-in-law! I've never had this milk tea before." (End of Chapter)
