_{Xiaoya didn't needto think about it at all, replying, "I want to go. I don't want to tell my family either. Lets go everywhere."}
Xiaoya was so befuddled she couldn't say a word.

Xiaoya stared at her textbook seriously, but only gossip left her lips: "Yeah. Then after we had dinner, she talked with my mother about life, about ideals, then she went back home."

_{Xiaoya: "Sciences. You're so good at biochemistry, it would be a pity if you didn't choose it. Besides, there are a lot more majors in the sciences available, so it'd be easy to get into a good university and also getting a job after graduation."}
But just then, two knocks sounded outside Xiaoya's door and Xiaoya's mother called out to them, "Xiaoya, Lu Xiaobei, dinner's ready."

Xiaoya: "Sciences. You're so good at biochemistry, it would be a pity if you didn't choose it. Besides, there are a lot more majors in the sciences available, so it'd be easy to get into a good university and also getting a job after graduation."

_{For Xiaoya, this was the first time she and Lu Xiaobei was this close, so much so, they could each feel the other's breath.}As soon as the bell rang, Mo Yichen saw Xiaoya sprint out the class like a whirlwind.

For Xiaoya, this was the first time she and Lu Xiaobei was this close, so much so, they could each feel the other's breath.

_{"Captain, why did you just try to take my phone?" Xiaoya whispered.}
Lu Xiaobei turned her head to look, the door handle twisting before opening by a crack. After feeling a gust of breeze, Xiaoya hid the phone behind her, using her body to block it.

"Captain, why did you just try to take my phone?" Xiaoya whispered.

_{Lu Xiaobei walked straight outside, asking: "What's wrong?" Xiaoya's eyes were glistening, and a bit reddened, seeming as though she wanted to shed tears yet didn't.}She didn't want to just be a passing acquaintance in Lu Xiaobei's life, neither did she want to be a passing traveller in her gorgeous life. So that in the future, all Lu Xiaobei could recall from her was a vague image.

Lu Xiaobei walked straight outside, asking: "What's wrong?" Xiaoya's eyes were glistening, and a bit reddened, seeming as though she wanted to shed tears yet didn't.

_{Lu Xiaobei then immediately sprang forward, causing both her and Xiaoya to tumble on the bed, saying, "Where did you hide my stuff?" while at the same time trying to grab the phone behind Xiaoya's back.}
Seeing this, Lu Xiaobeui thought to herself: Folks like Xiaoya will never be able to cheat during exams. All it would take was just one glance from a teacher for them to find out.

Lu Xiaobei then immediately sprang forward, causing both her and Xiaoya to tumble on the bed, saying, "Where did you hide my stuff?" while at the same time trying to grab the phone behind Xiaoya's back.

_{Mo Yichen: "Why didn't you say that? I didn't chose one as yet. You're going to be separated from Captain too."}The "back door door god" then chimed, "Pre-exam is the peak season for confessions, you know?"

Mo Yichen: "Why didn't you say that? I didn't chose one as yet. You're going to be separated from Captain too."

_{Lu Xiaobei then lowered her head slightly, enough to allow Xiaoya to feel the tip of her nose touching her own cheek before it shifted to the side, bit by bit, about to...}Lu Xiaobei stroked her chin, with her then asking, "How could you not know."

Lu Xiaobei then lowered her head slightly, enough to allow Xiaoya to feel the tip of her nose touching her own cheek before it shifted to the side, bit by bit, about to...

_{Lu Xiaobei was still lying on the bed, one arm resting on the bed, propping her up, while the other was hooked around Xiaoya's waist. Two pairs of eyes were locked with one another, and because Xiaoya was worked up and agitated not too long ago, her cheeks were all red and her hair was messy.}
"Ah—"

Lu Xiaobei was still lying on the bed, one arm resting on the bed, propping her up, while the other was hooked around Xiaoya's waist. Two pairs of eyes were locked with one another, and because Xiaoya was worked up and agitated not too long ago, her cheeks were all red and her hair was messy.

_{"It's actually a good thing you came. I have something I want to ask you." Seeing the doubt in Xiaoya's eyes, Lu Xiaobei then asked, "For all these years you've been in school, have you ever skipped a class?"}Lu Xiaobei knocked him on the head, saying, "Focus on studying properly, the exam is only a few days away."

_{Seeing this, Lu Xiaobeui thought to herself: {Folks like Xiaoya will never be able to cheat during exams. All it would take was just one glance from a teacher for them to find out.}}"I don't know. I want to study in the liberal arts field more, but my scores there and with science subjects are pretty similar. For history and other stuff, I rely mostly on the books I read occasionally, and never listened properly in class. But with science classes..." Xiaoya sighed before she continued, "If I choose liberal arts, I'll be separated from you."

Seeing this, Lu Xiaobeui thought to herself: Folks like Xiaoya will never be able to cheat during exams. All it would take was just one glance from a teacher for them to find out.

_{Lu Xiaobei lifted her body a bit, then putting some distance between her and Xiaoya before replying, "Dummy, have you ever heard the saying sticking your head in the sandT/n: Thinking your hiding something but only deceiving yourself.?"}Xiaoya remained silent, feeling Mo Yichen's questions were too unreasonable. What if she only meets with the captain only two or three times a year? She felt as though her questions involved problems she had never once considered.

Lu Xiaobei lifted her body a bit, then putting some distance between her and Xiaoya before replying, "Dummy, have you ever heard the saying sticking your head in the sandT/n: Thinking your hiding something but only deceiving yourself.?"

_{"Yeah..." Mo Yichen then added, "but it's different, the (relationship) status is different."}
Xiaoya cried out.

"Yeah..." Mo Yichen then added, "but it's different, the (relationship) status is different."

_{"So... with both the Captain and I leaving, is there any difference in how you feel towards us?"}Mo Yichen said there would come a day where you'll have a career, a partner and maybe even a child.

"So... with both the Captain and I leaving, is there any difference in how you feel towards us?"

_{Xiaoya: "???"}
Lu Xiaobei then immediately sprang forward, causing both her and Xiaoya to tumble on the bed, saying, "Where did you hide my stuff?" while at the same time trying to grab the phone behind Xiaoya's back.

Xiaoya: "???"

_{Lu Xiaobei knocked him on the head, saying, "Focus on studying properly, the exam is only a few days away."}
Xiaoya was so flustered, she forgot her priorities towards Lu Xiaobei and yelled: "Heyyy— Get off! I can't give this to you."

Lu Xiaobei knocked him on the head, saying, "Focus on studying properly, the exam is only a few days away."

_{Hey, don't bring up my heartbreaking affairs. Captain said 'I have to go visit my mom the day after my entrance exams, since I haven't seen her for the year. So if there are no pressing matters here, I won't return even during the holidays.'" Xiaoya then added, "It's been almost three months! Captain won't even be in the country, and I don't have any money to go visit her."}Xiaoya doesn;t have the type of personality that's suited for pressuring her with questions. The more you ask her, the more she'd dwell on it, and be even more unwilling to talk. But if you keep your distance, she'd would be willing to share her thoughts with you instead.

Captain won't even be in the country, and I don't have any money to go visit her."

_{"So it seems you'll be sending off two friends this summer, yeah?" Mo Yichen asked her.}Xiaoya straightforwardly replied, "Your classmates are all poking their heads out the window, and some are staring at you."

"So it seems you'll be sending off two friends this summer, yeah?" Mo Yichen asked her.

_{Xiaoya didn't needto think about it at all, replying, "I want to go. I don't want to tell my family either.

_{Mo Yichen then asked: "I'm curious about one thing though, was that the first time your mom and Captain met?"}
"Hey, dinner's ready!" Xiaoya's mother just thought the two girls were playing around, giving her no real reason to be suspicious. "Go wash up the come out, alright." After saying this, she turned and left.

Mo Yichen then asked: "I'm curious about one thing though, was that the first time your mom and Captain met?"

_{Lu Xiaobei turned her head to look, the door handle twisting before opening by a crack.

_{Lu Xiaobei walked straight outside, asking: "What's wrong?" Xiaoya's eyes were glistening, and a bit reddened, seeming as though she wanted to shed tears yet didn't.}Is it possible you don't want those things? I'm willing to give you tons of love—all of my love, so we can always be together, forever. Just me, no one else.

Lu Xiaobei walked straight outside, asking: "What's wrong?" Xiaoya's eyes were glistening, and a bit reddened, seeming as though she wanted to shed tears yet didn't.

_{This made Xiaoya zip her lips, giving the silent treatment for a while. But she couldn't hold it, turning to Mo Yichen to ask, "Yichen, are you going to chose the arts of sciences courses next semester?"}
Lu Xiaobei was still lying on the bed, one arm resting on the bed, propping her up, while the other was hooked around Xiaoya's waist. Two pairs of eyes were locked with one another, and because Xiaoya was worked up and agitated not too long ago, her cheeks were all red and her hair was messy.

_{"Yes, yes, yes. I know." Mo Yichen replied mechanically.}
Lu Xiaobei then lowered her head slightly, enough to allow Xiaoya to feel the tip of her nose touching her own cheek before it shifted to the side, bit by bit, about to...

"Yes, yes, yes. I know." Mo Yichen replied mechanically.

_{"Our teacher told us the schedule for the college entrance exams and we have the day before the exams off." Lu Xiaobei then asked, "Can we go hang out together on that day? It should be a Thursday, so you can ask your teacher for sick leave and if you want to tell your folks, you can, but if you don't, you won't. So you want to go?"}Mo Yichen couldn't help but hold her head in her palm, "You really are too dumb sometimes. I can't just tell you outright."

_{To which the sullen Xiaoya replied: "Yeah."}Lu Xiaobei then grumbled, "Your mom just never thought you'd be dumb enough to hide a phone in there."

To which the sullen Xiaoya replied: "Yeah."

_{Truthfully, Xiaoya did have something else she wanted to ask the captain right then, she wanted to ask: '{Captain, why are you so good to me?}' As much as Xiaoya was full of gratitude towards her, she also felt something she could not put into words, along with feeling wronged.

Gradually, Lu Xiaobei's infatuation filled eyes focused, the faint traces of blue within them, a blue resembling the sky as well as the sea, fading away into the darkness.
