"Brother Liu, why do you have to wait here for so long?" A soft female voice broke the silence of the night, sounding particularly moving.

Liu Hua turned around with a look of surprise on his face. Seeing that it was Su Qing, he took two steps forward and asked, "Qing'er, are you here? I was waiting for you here specially. I wonder why you came back?"

Su Qing smiled slightly, the moonlight reflected on her face, making her look even softer and more charming. "I didn't plan to go back home, but today I happened to pass by here because of my studies, and I wanted to talk to you."

"What do you want to talk about?" He waved his hand curiously and led her into the yard. He sat her on a stone bench engraved with ancient patterns, with an expectant look on his face.

"Today in the school, the master talked about the principle of keeping a low profile. I thought maybe you could help me solve the doubts." Her eyes sparkled, as bright as the stars.

Liu Hua was shocked when he heard this, and nodded quickly: "Of course, I am happy to serve. Keeping a low profile, as the name suggests, means hiding one's strength and waiting for the right time to act. What is confusing you about this?"

"I often feel that hiding myself seems to go against my temperament. What I want to do often requires courage and publicity, rather than hiding in the shadows." She sighed slightly, frowned, and looked a little distressed.

"Courage and publicity are not necessarily the same, Qing'er." Liu Hua said softly, "Sometimes, being low-key at the right time may achieve twice the result with half the effort. You see, the ancients said 'still waters run deep', it is better to seek inner peace and prepare for the future."

Su Qing looked thoughtful, glancing at the moon in the distance, as if thinking about his words. After a while, she slowly spoke: "So, Brother Liu, are you also keeping a low profile? I'm afraid the goal you are pursuing is extraordinary, right?"

Liu Hua smiled slightly, a little shy. "I... maybe. When you are young, although you are passionate, you may not be able to realize all your dreams immediately. For the sake of a greater ideal, it is necessary to be patient for a while."

"So what is your ideal?" Su Qing's voice was as soft as water, but the concern she revealed seemed particularly genuine.

"I want to become a person of accomplishment and contribute my own little to this country." He looked into her eyes, a little seriously, "Qing'er, you should also have your own ideals. Your talent should not be underestimated."

Su Qing smiled, feeling warm in her heart. "I know, that's why you have always been my role model."

Liu Hua lowered his head shyly, then smiled mischievously: "However, if I become a hero, Qing'er must put on armor for me and help me make the elixir!"

She smiled gently, with a sly gleam in her eyes: "Brother Liu, if you really become a hero, I will sing for you and spread your deeds!"

The two smiled at each other, and the troubles in their hearts seemed to drift away with the moonlight. At this moment, it seemed as if there was a sound of footsteps in the dark night. Liu Hua noticed something and immediately stood up and looked outside.

"Who is it?" he whispered, with a hint of nervousness in his voice.

"It's me. Sorry to bother you." A familiar voice came from behind, and a man in a green shirt slowly walked into the night. It was Liu Hua's best friend Qiang Jian.

"Brother Qiang, what are you doing here at this time?" Liu Hua relaxed slightly, turned around and held his hand.

"I heard that you had an appointment with Miss Su here, so I wanted to come and see you." Qiang Jian had a smile in his eyes, and he deliberately pretended to be joking, "It seems that I came at the right time and will not disturb your tryst under the moon."

Su Qing smiled and shook her head gently: "Brother Qiang, you worry too much."

Liu Hua was helpless: "You are such a shameless person who keeps teasing people all day long!"

"Okay, okay, I won't disturb you anymore." Qiangjian was still laughing so hard that he almost fell to the ground.

"How long do you plan to stay here?" Chen Fang's voice was soft, but with a hint of anticipation.

Li Hao was slightly stunned, and his mind flashed back to everything that had happened since he set foot on this land. Those were all the dreams and hopes he was willing to pursue. He thought for a moment and replied, "I stay here not because of time, but because of what I want in my heart."

Chen Fang tilted her head, her brows furrowed, as if she couldn't fully understand. "What do you want?"

Li Hao looked into her clear eyes and said softly, "It's to find a better future, not only for myself, but also for my family. The beautiful scenery here is full of opportunities. I want to explore some opportunities."

"But this landscape is so peaceful, aren't you afraid of the disturbances outside?" There was a hint of concern in Chen Fang's voice. She didn't want Li Hao to get involved in any intrigue.

"I understand your concerns," Li Hao said in a gentle tone with a firm gaze, "but I believe that if you retreat just because of fear, you will never be able to touch the opportunity." He couldn't help but think of the oath he made a few years ago, that he must not let fear restrict his steps.

Chen Fang lowered her head silently, and gently stroked the water surface with her fingers, causing ripples. She couldn't help but think for a moment, and suddenly looked up: "Have you ever thought that if what you pursue is not what you want, it will cause unnecessary resentment and pain."

Li Hao was a little surprised and asked, "Why are you so pessimistic?"

"It's not that I'm pessimistic, it's just that my past experiences have taught me that life is ever-changing and desires are endless, which often make people lose their direction." Chen Fang's eyes seemed a little blurred, as if she was thinking about deeper truths.

Li Hao listened quietly, and his heart was touched. Although he was determined to pursue his goal, he knew that the road ahead would not be smooth. So he smiled and said: "Things are interdependent and mutually exclusive. As long as there is a light in your heart, you will not be afraid of darkness."

"A beacon?" Chen Fang repeated softly, her eyes becoming brighter and brighter. "Are you talking about hope and ideals?"

"That's right." Li Hao's voice was as gentle as a spring breeze. "The road to pursuing your ideals is certainly full of thorns and twists and turns, but if you can remain firm in your beliefs, you will surely usher in light."

Chen Fang nodded, and suddenly recalled many past events. In her memory, home and family were the most priceless treasures. "Are you willing to sacrifice everything for your ideal?"

Li Hao's eyes were firm as he answered, "If you can't work hard for your ideals, how can you talk about ideals?"

Chen Fang was silent for a moment, and a trace of resonance ignited in her heart. Li Hao's words seemed to ignite the fire deep in her heart. Although she was in a warm place, there were still too many unknown challenges waiting in life.

A sudden breeze blew by, bringing with it a scent of flowers, and the two smiled at each other. The tranquility and beauty of the moment made all the troubles seem to disappear temporarily.

"If we successfully see the light of our ideal, can we move forward together?" There was some anticipation in Chen Fang's voice.

"Of course," Li Hao nodded with a smile, his heart full of strength, "Perhaps, we will accompany each other in the future journey and face the storms together."

"That's it." Chen Fang said softly, her eyes flashing with determination, like dewdrops in the morning light, beautiful and clear.
