Chapter 631: Chapter 233: Every Brave Soul Who Dares to Pursue Love Deserves Respect! (Part 2)

"Oh!"

Liu Yanbin nodded, still a bit unsure.

Pan Yun had mentioned to him that Tao Min had feelings for Su Zelin, and she quite liked him.

However, for some reasons, they could only remain friends.

At that time, Pan Yun spoke very gently, but the reason wasn’t hard to guess; it went without saying that their class president attracted too much attention.

Other than this, Liu Yanbin really hadn’t noticed any other flaws in him; he had no complaints about anyone around him.

Tao Min didn’t want a centralized air conditioner; she wanted one that belonged to her alone.

"President, want some?"

Liu Yanbin pointed to the beer on the stone table.

He could see that Su Zelin wasn’t in a good mood either.

Perhaps the president didn’t have those kinds of feelings for Tao Min, but even when a good friend leaves, it’s always sad.

"Hmm, just a bit."

Su Zelin gave a slight nod.

"Pop!"

He opened the pull tab of a can, not being polite with Liu Yanbin.

Bumping cans with Liu Yanbin, he gulped down the whole can in one go, tightly gripping it so that the can was crushed into a small clump.

In fact, he also had a habit of crushing cans to relieve stress.

Liu Yanbin stared, wide-eyed.

The president’s grip was indeed strong; the can was crushed completely useless by him.

No wonder, he was a man who practiced pen spinning and guitar all day long.

Opening another can of beer, Su Zelin then spoke, "Yanbin, what does Senior Sister Pan mean by that?"

Since Pan Yun still asked Liu Yanbin to see her off at the train station, he thought they probably hadn’t broken up yet.

"She told me she’s an only child, and her mom fell seriously ill last year, had surgery, and is in very poor health. As a daughter, she must return to her hometown to work so she can spend more time with her parents and take care of her mom!"

Liu Yanbin briefly explained their situation, and Su Zelin understood.

Filial piety and romantic obligations are hard to balance.

Even though Pan Yun really liked Liu Yanbin, because of her mother’s illness, she had to break the plans they previously made for the future.

If they wanted to continue being together, it wasn’t impossible.

But that would mean Liu Yanbin would also have to go work over there.

Making such a decision was no easy task.

Not to mention, if they genuinely went to Pan Yun’s home city, finding a job could be another issue.

Graduates from the Finance Institute could find jobs easily in the province, or across the entire Jiang-Zhe-Lu region, but Pan Yun’s family lived in an unknown small city in Longyuan, named Yin Chang, a place few have heard of, much like Jianglan.

The province is one of the less economically developed areas in Xia Country, incomparable to the Jiang-Zhe-Lu region. One is located in the northwest, the other in the southeast, with vastly different climates and lifestyles, and the diploma from the Finance Institute might not be valued there; graduates might end up simply working labor jobs.

"Yanbin, you need to think this through carefully and make a well-considered decision."

Su Zelin spoke earnestly.

This was no small matter.

On one side was the future; on the other, love.

"Hmm, President, I understand!"

Liu Yanbin nodded.

Unknowingly, the two guys finished all the beer on the table.

With the last can downed, Liu Yanbin suddenly crushed it flat, making his decision.

"President, after graduating next year, I’m going to follow Senior Sister Pan to Yin Chang!"

His gaze was firm, "Sister Yun has taken great care of me throughout my college years, always accommodating me. This time, it’s my turn to accommodate her! Her parents have only one daughter; naturally, they wouldn’t want Sister Yun to leave their side. Moreover, her mom’s health isn’t good and needs Sister Yun around, and I have a brother, so my parents will understand!"

"Are you sure, Yanbin? You need to understand, once you leave campus, life won’t be just about love and affection; there are everyday necessities. If you go to Yin Chang, your environment and life will change drastically, and it might not be easy to find a job there."

"It’s okay, even if I have to work manual jobs when I get there, I still want to be with Sister Yun!"

Liu Yanbin spoke seriously, "President, I understand your good intentions. Maybe you think I’ve drunk too much and am being impulsive, but I’m very clear-headed and know what’s most important to me. In fact, I’ve been thinking about this for a long time before today!"

Su Zelin nodded.

Never mind if Liu Yanbin was being naive, having this kind of courage was already quite remarkable.

Any warrior willing to pursue love, even at the cost of sacrifices, deserves respect.

The youth of this era are like this; if they don’t love, they love passionately.

Even if full of difficulties, they proceed without hesitation.

Meanwhile, on the green train from Lin’an to Longyuan.

A girl sat weeping on her bunk, drawing curious glances from passengers opposite her.

From her age and luggage, it was easy to tell she was probably a college graduate, leaving campus and having just broken up with her boyfriend, hence her deep sorrow.

Pan Yun felt helpless.

She certainly wished she could continue with Liu Yanbin.

However, her parents worked hard to raise her, and after her mother’s serious illness, her health never fully recovered.

As their only daughter, she had to stay by their side, not selfishly pursue her happiness by running away with her boyfriend to build a love nest elsewhere.

Of course, asking her boyfriend to come with her to Yin Chang was indeed too much.

If he decided to end the relationship, she could understand.

But still, she felt so reluctant.
