Gu Min was stunned. Nian Nian was always like a little sun in front of him. Whenever he was sad or felt extremely inferior, she would always guide him, encourage him, and lead him out of the darkness again and again... But today, she seemed to be shrouded in a deep cloud. She stood in a place where the light could not reach, revealing a kind of inconsolable sadness...

Let his heart be tugged fiercely...

He had a hunch that this question must be answered carefully. Perhaps, this was very important to her...

He didn't speak for a moment, and Mu Qingnian seemed to be lost in his own thoughts. The two walked slowly, and silence spread endlessly between them...

Finally, when they were almost home, Gu Min spoke.

"Niannian, if the wind blows and the rain falls, it will always bring a mess, right? So people hate storms and try to avoid them."

Mu Qingnian seemed to have not yet realized what he was saying, and subconsciously agreed, "Yes."

"But no matter where you are, you can't avoid the wind and rain. It's just that some places have heavier rain and some places have lighter rain, right?"

Mu Qingnian knew what he was talking about. She lowered her head, unable to see her expression, and replied in a muffled voice, "Yes."

"So, maybe, we can not only look at the mess after the storm, but also look at what we will see after the storm. Maybe it's the leaves and flowers moistened by the rain, maybe it's the autumn colors blown down by the wind, or maybe it's the spring that spreads after the storm... Nian Nian, the wind and rain are terrible, terrible that everyone wants to hide away from them, but most of the wind and rain have something accompanying them. I don't know how big the wind and rain on your road is, which can make you so miserable, but think about it, is there any other scenery on this road worth your walking? Maybe it's a flower, maybe it's a smart little squirrel, or maybe it's just a piece of air that makes you feel refreshed. If so, wouldn't it be much easier for you to make a decision?"

As Gu Min's words slowly came out in his pleasant voice, Mu Qingnian had slowly raised his head without realizing it. It only took a few seconds for him to go from confusion to shock and then to a hint of understanding.

She had always known that her brother had the power to "bewitch" people. It was the same in the welfare home before, and it was the same now when he spoke to her. It seemed that he could always find different ways to interpret a thing and convey a power...

Moreover, if you think about it carefully, what he said is really right...

In her previous life, she had been a teacher for nearly seven years... During those seven years, she struggled every day, and one thing after another brought her to the brink of collapse. But, when she thought about it carefully, was there really no time worth looking back at?

There is.

It is Teacher's Day, when the children carefully hand over the greeting cards they have drawn by themselves to me, when the children share the fruits and snacks in their hands with me when I go to class at noon, when the leaders give me thumbs up in praise after completing a task, when the teaching and research staff introduce themselves solemnly in front of all the teachers after conducting open classes at all levels, when I receive certificates one after another, and finally when I am evaluated for my professional title, I can produce a thick stack of supporting materials...

Maybe, those seven years of life... weren't that unbearable...

Thinking of this, her expression became much better. Gu Min had been observing her expression the whole time. Now that he saw that she looked better, he was relieved...

My answer seems to be correct...

Mu Qingnian turned to look at him, regaining her usual smile and a much brighter expression, "Thank you, brother. I feel much better."

Gu Min touched her head, hesitated for a moment, and asked carefully, "Then... can you tell your brother why you are unhappy? Maybe I can give you some advice."

Mu Qingnian's gaze returned to the sky, and a touch of sunset red shone through the dark clouds, dispelling the haze that had lingered in his heart for several days. "Brother, do you still remember the questionnaire that the head teacher handed out?"

"remember."

“I’ve decided that I want to be a teacher.”

Perhaps, I have to keep a date with my past self...

Gu Minyi looked at her and asked, "Have you decided?"

"Well, I've decided. But I might be very tired, the kind that makes me collapse. When the time comes, I'll have to ask my brother to comfort me a little more."

"Okay, I'm always here."

Mu Qingnian smiled. Against the backdrop of the setting sun, her profile had a hint of sacredness in the boy's eyes...

Then, he heard her voice, softly...

"Then, we all have to work hard. I hope that in the future, you will shine on your stage, and I will produce many outstanding students on my podium..."

Gu Min saw a trace of relief in the girl's eyes. For some reason, a thought flashed through his mind. This questionnaire was just an expectation for the future, but Nian Nian seemed to have really witnessed that future... It seemed that after struggling for a long time, she had reconciled with her future... And it was not the first time that he found that she had this feeling...

Suddenly, a picture popped up in my mind. It was the dream I had a few years ago, the dream without Nian Nian accompanying me... In all these years, I have never had the second half of that dream...

He didn't know what happened in the parallel life without her in the dream, or maybe that dream was not a dream...

--------------

After discussing with Mu Fengting and Lin Wanru, the two submitted their questionnaires smoothly. In addition, she filled in the university she had attended in her previous life, Beijing Normal University, for her preferred university. Gu Min filled in the same city as her, choosing the Central Conservatory of Music.

After they had a goal, these first-year high school students officially began to fight for their dreams...

The morning light and the sunset shine on the white school uniforms day after day, blooming one after another of green and unique flowers on their unbridled youth...

Time has passed as figures have been wandering back and forth...
