Chapter 168: What to Do in Summer Vacation

Chapter 168

The final exam period was approaching, and the teacher had highlighted the key points for everyone in class. Then, Wei Feng nudged Chi Yan, "Yan-ge, the vacation is coming up, isn't it? You and your girlfriend are going to be apart again. Do you think your relationship will have any problems after you separate?"

Chi Yan just realized that Yang was not from Jing City, so what if problems arose between them after she went back home? And the summer vacation was two months long.

On the other side, Chu Yang was also thinking about going back home. From the chat history, she could see that she had a good relationship with her family, and she would often send money home. Moreover, her younger brother Chu Luo would regularly send her his essays for her to review, which she found a bit strange at first, but later realized it was a regular occurrence, probably some kind of an agreement they had made earlier for Chu Luo's studies.

Chu Yang had already started looking at train tickets.

Chi Yan then asked Wei Feng, "How did we spend the past summer vacations?"

Wei Feng shook his head and looked at Zheng Qing, who also shook his head, and then at Yuan Zhi, who shook his head too.

Finally, Yuan Zhi thought for a moment and said, "Probably just video calls and stuff. Oh yeah, you did post something on Moments before about going to your girlfriend's place."

Chi Yan pondered, so he had already been to Yang's home? Her parents must like him then.

Chi Yan felt happy thinking about it. He knew that Yang's family lived in a village in Jiazhou City, about a 4-hour drive from Jing City, so it would just take half a day for him to drop her off.

Chi Yan scrolled through their chat history for a long time, and it seemed like their conversations could fill a thick book.

The chat history showed that he had indeed been to Chu Yang's home, and not just once. He even found photos of him with Chu Yang's family - two rather plain-looking but amiable-looking parents, and a young boy who must be her younger brother Chu Luo, probably taken in the summer.

Chi Yan also found Chu Luo's WeChat, and they had chatted a bit, mostly Chi Yan trying to bribe his future brother-in-law.

Chi Yan immediately messaged Chu Yang, "Yang, shall I drop you off at home for the vacation?"

The moment the message was sent, Chu Yang had just bought her train ticket, and she replied, "No need, I've already bought my ticket home."

The hopeful Chi Yan instantly became dejected, staring blankly at his textbook, mindlessly flipping the pages.

The key points the teacher had highlighted didn't really matter to Chi Yan, as the entire book was important.

After school, Chi Yan went back to the dorm and lay on his bed, staring listlessly at the ceiling.

After buying her ticket, Chu Yang thought she should let her family know, so she posted in the family group chat, "I'll be going home around XX date."

It didn't take long before Chu's Mom asked, "Will Xiao Yan come along as well? The watermelons at home are almost ripe, let him bring back some, as I remember he likes them a lot."

Chu Yang: ?

Then Chu's Dad also chimed in, "The rice is also almost ready."

Chu Yang felt like she was missing something, so she started going through the previous messages. It turned out that last year, Chi Yan had already been to her home, not just once, but had even helped with the farm work, going up and down the mountains, not afraid of hard work, and had also tutored her younger brother, winning over Chu's parents.

Moreover, he had been the one to pick her up and drop her off at school, even during the winter break.

Her family was already used to it. No wonder.

However, this time, Chu Yang decided not to bother him. How could she keep troubling him? Even in a relationship, it should be mutual. Constantly bothering someone is not good.

On the other side, Wei Feng and the others also sensed that Chi Yan was not in a good mood. "Yan-ge, what's wrong with you?"

Chi Yan didn't respond, just waved his hand, pretending to be asleep.

The others looked at each other, knowing that the only one who could make Yan-ge unhappy was his girlfriend. They must have had some unknown issue.

Wei Feng quickly went to ask Jin Yang, "Little Jin Yang, have you noticed anything unusual with your sister?"

Jin Yang looked over at the diligently studying Chu Yang and replied, "No, nothing. Yang is just studying."

Wei Feng said, "Oh, I thought something had happened. Please keep an eye on the situation and let me know if you notice anything off, because Yan-ge seems a bit down. He was fine earlier, but after I asked about the summer vacation, he became upset. Probably because he and his girlfriend will have to be apart during the vacation, so he's feeling down."

Jin Yang then realized, oh right, the final exams are over, so Yang and Chi Yan the campus celebrity will have to separate for the two-month summer vacation.

She then asked Chu Yang, "Yang, after the final exams, it's summer vacation, right? What are you and Chi Yan going to do?"

Chu Yang replied, puzzled, "What to do? We'll each go back to our own homes, of course. It's just a relationship, we still have to go back home, right?"

Jin Yang "Ah?"ed in surprise, and then cautiously asked, "But the vacation is 2 months long, won't you two being apart for so long cause problems in your relationship, especially since it's only just recently stabilized?"

Chu Yang thought for a moment and replied rationally, "If any problems arise, then we'll just cut our losses. A person can still live without love."

Jin Yang: ... Looks like Yang has become a cold and heartless Yang.

On the other side, Chi Yan was in a melancholy mood all night, but the next day he still went to find Chu Yang, not showing any signs of unhappiness on the surface. He followed Chu Yang to the library to study, occasionally even making sarcastic comments about how the teacher had highlighted the entire book as key points.

The two were studying in the library, but Chi Yan would often prop his head on his hand and just stare at the diligent Chu Yang beside him. As he looked, he seemed to see a scene unfold.

It was the same Chi Yan and Chu Yang studying in the library, but the atmosphere between them seemed much more intimate. Sometimes they would make eye contact, their eyes filled with joy, and Chi Yan would even secretly grab her hand and bite it, only to have Chu Yang pinch his cheek...

Chu Yang noticed the sudden silence next to her and looked up, only to see Chi Yan staring at her, no, not at her, but through her, as if his eyes were unfocused.

Chu Yang waved her hand in front of his face, "What's wrong? Are you tired? Should you go back first?"

Chi Yan snapped out of it, shaking his head, "No, I'm fine. No, I can still keep going." He then went back to studying, but soon found himself looking at Chu Yang again, and the "Chu Yang" he was seeing now seemed different from the one in front of him, as if they were not the same person. Was that how they were before, when they were more intimate?

But he was certain it was the same person, just that their current closeness was lacking.

At 10 pm, the two left the library, and as Chu Yang was about to enter her dorm, Chi Yan bravely grabbed her hand, and before she could react, he planted a kiss on her cheek.

"Good night."

Chu Yang was taken aback for a moment, then she just nodded, "Good night."
