Chapter 3157 Gathering Qin Xiu wanted to wait. What if… What if… Ye Jian really took leave to look for him? “Dad, it’s snowing heavily outside. The hotel is definitely a distance away from the school. To be safe, why don’t we stay in the school tonight?” Qin Xiu suggested. He wanted to stay. If Ye Jian wasn’t coming to look for him, he would look for her! It was indeed impossible to drag it out like this. The earlier he spoke his mind, the better. He had to let her know what he meant. If it was really impossible, he had to slowly move on. Ambassador Qin Dingkang knew what his son was thinking. It was just that… he hadn’t made any arrangements beforehand. It was too rash of him to stay… Ambassador Qin Dingkang, who was still worried, heard Commissar Zhong say, “You’re right, Counsellor Qin. Why give up what’s near and seek what’s far? Ambassador Qin, there’s a VIP room in the school. If you don’t mind, stay in the school for the night.” “In that case… I’m sorry to disturb you.” For the sake of his son, Ambassador Qin Dingkang didn’t reject the offer. They would stay for the night. He wanted to see if Qin Xiu and Little Ye were fated. The small building where the VIPs would stay was a distance away from the venue. The car they took was parked outside the venue, so they might as well take it over to save themselves from the snow and wind. When they got into the car, Ambassador Qin Dingkang persuaded his son, “Qin Xiu, Little Ye is a good girl, but she doesn’t have you in her heart. You can’t even be considered an old friend of hers. If there’s no hope after tonight…” The words he said were a little cruel. Ambassador Qin Dingkang paused for a moment before continuing, “You might as well leave it at that.” The heater in the car was turned on. Qin Xiu pulled his tie and lowered the car window a little, letting the cold air blow in through the window and blow away the frustration in his heart. The car driving on the campus was very slow. The sound of the car driving over the snow floated into his ears, making him feel annoyed. “Dad, we haven’t even started. I won’t make any decisions yet.” Qin Xiu frowned slightly. He turned his head and looked out of the window. He looked at the campus that had traces of the woman he loved. “If I can’t do it tonight, I’ll wait a little longer until… she graduates.” Ambassador Qin Dingkang didn’t persuade him anymore. Love wasn’t something that could be persuaded. Qin Xiu had to think it through himself. The car passed by the lane outside the Milky Way Plaza. The snow-white headlights lit up the road in front, but they didn’t illuminate a slender figure running toward a few figures in the middle of the plaza. Xia Jinyuan, who was walking and chatting, suddenly stopped. He turned his head and looked behind him. He saw a figure running not far ahead. The figure ran very quickly. Every step was so light that it was as if she was dancing on the snow. From her waving, one could feel the joy in the depths of her heart. The snow on the plaza was so deep that it covered the instep of her feet. Every step she took made creaking sounds. Ye Jian listened to the neat sound of footsteps on the snow. The smile on her face never disappeared. It was good to have them by her side. Familiar people, familiar voices, familiar laughter. Everything was so familiar and real. It made her feel at ease with every step she took. G3 was speaking. “The day after tomorrow, you’ll take your university entrance examination. After you finish your exam, you’ll go back to the base with us. This is the first time you’ll be going to our base. Major General Yang said that the ceremony has to be grand. We can’t be too petty. Hence, he asked us to bring the military order document over. Tomorrow morning, we’ll hand it to the courtyard. We’ll leave on the same day after your exam.”
