“Xiao Qian, you remembered to call me! Hey, it’s been a while since we last contacted each other. What have you been up to lately?”
Xia Xiaoyu answered the phone with a hint of dissatisfaction, but her expression showed that she was very happy that Xu Qian called.
“I’ve taken over a new project at the company, and there’s going to be a big plan. Do you have time? Let’s have a meal together!” A deep and steady voice came from the phone, indicating that Xu Qian was quite pleased.
“Sure, we definitely need to celebrate properly.”
Xia Xiaoyu said with a smile.
“Let’s do it in a few days. I’ll call you; things are pretty busy at the company right now!”
With Xia Xiaoyu being so straightforward, Xu Qian also spoke more casually.
“Okay, sounds good!”
After hanging up the phone, Xia Xiaoyu let out a long breath. She hadn’t felt this happy in a long time.
It had been three years—exactly three years.
They were no longer the headstrong kids they once were, nor were they the newcomers at University Students.
She spent three unforgettable years at Cherry Blossom University. From the time she first entered University, still full of innocence, she had now become a senior preparing for graduation.
Perhaps next year, she would leave this University.
But no matter what, this place held her most cherished memories, and she would never forget it.
Three years ago, scenes from the past linger in her mind. Now, three years have passed, yet it feels like just yesterday. She has experienced fear, anxiety, timidity, tears, laughter, and moments of deep emotion.
Over these three years, she has shed her childishness and the arrogance of being a rich girl. Her character has grown strong; she has learned to be independent and to face challenges head-on.
In summary, she has gained much but has also lost a lot.
Xia Xiaoyu stands at the top of the Teaching Building, smiling as she looks over the entire University. This is a place she often visits. Ever since she escaped that disaster three years ago, she would come here when feeling bored, watching countless students walk along the winding paths. The whole University is filled with vitality.
However, it must be said that Xu Qian has changed significantly over these three years. He works very hard; starting as a small employee in the company, he has now been promoted to department manager.
The key is that he is young and quick-witted. He comes from a good family background, but his ambition is to start from scratch like his father and reach his father's level before turning thirty.
Now the company values him highly; his position continues to rise. It is believed that he can fully achieve his father's status by the time he turns thirty.
Such an outstanding person naturally attracts many female employees and colleagues in the company. Xia Xiaoyu has secretly counted and estimates that there are so many girls who like him that she can't even count them on her fingers.
The University is also undergoing changes. The new European-style architecture has replaced many old buildings, including the old Girls' Dormitory Building, which has been demolished to make way for a new Library.
Many places no longer resemble what they were three years ago.
Three years have brought changes not only to the University but also to them. Xia Xiaoyu may no longer seem as noble but has gained a sense of innocence.
Unfortunately, two years ago, Chen Mumu and Tian Xiaojing left Cherry Blossom University. They wanted to rely on themselves and carve out their own lives.
Fortunately, they have kept in touch and often communicate. Occasionally they find time to have meals together. The few people from their dormitory have become very good friends; perhaps it is because they have gone through so much that their hearts are connected.
A radiant smile appears on Xia Xiaoyu's face as she follows her gaze toward the long Cherry Blossom Path in the Small Grove. Only there does she feel a lingering sense of familiarity.
"I knew you would come here!"
Suddenly, a pleasant voice sounded behind Xia Xiaoyu.
Xia Xiaoyu turned around and saw Liu Feifei and Tang Jiaying, both smiling at her.
Liu Feifei had changed a lot; her once cute and youthful face had matured, and over the three years, her personality had become less willful.
Tang Jiaying had also transformed from a naive girl into a stunning beauty. She was very good at dressing herself, always interested in fashion, and loved shopping.
The only thing that hadn’t changed was her voice, which still had the charming quality of a doll.
"What are you two doing here?"
Xia Xiaoyu smiled at the two now captivating young women.
Liu Feifei's smile faded slightly as she looked at Xia Xiaoyu.
"Can you still not forget him?"
Liu Feifei knew that the person who had sacrificed his life for her three years ago was someone Xia Xiaoyu had never forgotten. She went to the Teaching Building perhaps just to wait, hoping to see the entire University and wishing that one day she would see his figure within it.
That silly person, who would just smile foolishly and pretend not to care, the one who could accept everything about her.
Xia Xiaoyu didn’t respond, but the smile on her lips unconsciously deepened. She turned to look down from the Teaching Building at the rows of blooming Cherry Blossoms.
Spring can come again; Cherry Blossoms that wither will bloom once more in the following year. But why, after waiting for three years, had that person still not appeared?
"Xia Xiaoyu, let it go! Wood is already gone; he can't come back..."
Liu Feifei felt a pang in her heart. The scenes from three years ago lingered in her mind. Especially everything Wood had done for them, which moved them yet also tugged at their hearts.
"Yes, Sister Xiaoyu, I think he wouldn't want to see you like this either. Forget it, give yourself a chance!"
Tang Jiaying's eyes were bright and clear, yet shimmering with tears.
"I'm fine, don't overthink it!"
Xia Xiaoyu didn't explain much; she felt a bit bitter and remained silent as she walked past the two of them and headed down the Staircase Entrance.
When looking back at the past, sometimes one suddenly realizes that there were moments that should have been cherished but weren't. It is only after losing them that one understands the pain in their heart.
Everyone is shortsighted, dreaming of everything far and beautiful while neglecting those closest to them, the ones most worth cherishing.
She walked down the stairs in a daze. On the dimly lit path, vibrant Cherry Blossoms were in full bloom, their petals falling onto the path, creating a warm little road for the day.
When did she become so fragile? She could conquer everything, yet in the end, she was defeated by herself.
When memories are trapped in yesterday and longing occupies all recollections, we realize that we have been living in memories all along.
If heaven measures happiness with time, then where is her happiness?
Xia Xiaoyu felt a sting in her nose; thinking of those scenes made her tears seem ready to break free from her eyelids.
