“This has nothing to do with our relationship as elders or with money; I respect your right to plan your own life and I trust you.”
“…uh, you understand, right? It’s just…”
The other side was silent for a moment and then gave a soft hum in response.
“I get it, Brother.”
Xu Qingyan scratched his face while on the phone, thinking you better understand.
But what he had said was also a tangled mess, being a qualified elder really was difficult. Was everybody’s conversation this awkward? He was truly at a loss for words.
It was his first time experiencing what “serious yet lively” felt like.
Before his awkwardness had time to dissipate, Li Yang suddenly spoke again.
“I know you didn’t mean anything else, Brother. It’s my own issue. Back in high school, a roommate once said that I was a bit too sensitive and that it was exhausting to deal with me.”
“That has nothing to do with you either, it’s just something that couldn’t be helped,” Xu Qingyan had not expected her to open up, so he perked up and comforted her.
“Things are different now, it’s not a fault to be sensitive.”
“I know, I don’t think about those things anymore, it’s all in the past.” There was the sound of footsteps shifting on Li Yang’s side, probably moving to a different spot to talk.
“My aunt told me to relax. In a few years, looking back, these things won’t matter much. They will pass.”
Upon hearing this, Xu Qingyan was taken aback.
He thought to himself that his mother had a greater reserve of comforting clichés than he did, managing to console a university student with them.
His ability to talk nonsense without a script was probably a genetic inheritance.
“It’s not that everything will pass, but rather that the past can’t be changed, and there’s nothing we can do about what’s happened. We are swept forward in life, whether there’s an answer or not, we can only accept it.”
He said, “Although we can’t change the past, we can change the present. You were young back then, but now you’re an adult and you can make many decisions for yourself.”
“The matters in Pingsha County are not a big deal. I’ll ask around for you. Issues like these hardly ever have any controversy; what’s yours can’t be taken by others.”
“Yeah, got it.” Li Yang’s voice seemed to regain some vitality, and after a pause of two seconds, she said, “Thank you, Brother.”
“It’s nothing.”
After hanging up, Xu Qingyan breathed a sigh of relief and turned back to his office. He thought about getting her a new phone for the new year; the signal really was… terrible.
Outside the girls’ dormitory at Xinghai University.
With the phone call ended, Li Yang’s face was warm as she sat on the cement stairs. Warm winter sunlight fell on her face, reflecting light on the old phone screen.
She had seen Xu Qingyan’s trending topic elsewhere and knew about his busy Spring Festival Gala preparations in Capital City. He was actually one of the main creators of the Gala, so impressive it felt surreal to her.
And such a person, just for an unintentional slip-up, had made a special call to explain it to her.
Li Yang felt…a warmth coursing through her, not knowing quite what to feel. Watching a bug crawl on the ground, she even found the bug pleasing to the eye.
Back in the dormitory, Li Yang suddenly remembered he hadn’t mentioned whether the scarf was nice. She wanted to message him to ask if he had worn it or to inquire about his thoughts, but she felt a bit shy about it.
Her best friend Mei Mengqi stuck her head out from the bed, holding her phone and gesturing.

“Li Li, I shared a video with you, take a look!”
“Oh, okay.”
She sat down on a chair and opened Mei Mengqi’s message, which brought up a video. The video showed a large lecture hall with what looked like a leader speaking.
Several staff members stood behind, and one of the boys became particularly handsome as the camera zoomed in. He just looked somewhat familiar, and the more she looked, the more he seemed to be…
…
“You dog, how can you go viral just with your face?” Gan Wenchang slid over from the next cubicle, throwing his phone onto his desk, “Damn, half a million likes.”
“You must have bought some followers, tell your bro, did you spend some money?”
Xu Qingyan glanced at the phone screen; the short video was from the Spring Festival Gala mobilization he had led the other day. Uninterested, he yawned and said.
“What’s so great about ‘standing out in the woods’? Isn’t that asking for trouble?”
“You… what are you saying, how could being handsome have a downside?” Gan Wenchang retrieved his phone, looking incredulous, “I’m just a little less handsome than you.”
“No lies, for real, when I was in university in old Capital City among a bunch of handsome guys, I was admired like an elegant scholar more handsome than Pan An, a real high-quality handsome gathering.”
Xu Qingyan gave him a look, thinking Brother Dao from Capital City.
“Yeah, you were born with winning hardware, it’s just too bad the display isn’t up to par.”
“Are you insulting me?” Gan Wenchang crossed his legs, “Don’t bring up the rest, when I first started working…sigh, time is indeed a butcher’s cleaver.”
“If I age any more, I’ll have to offer a dowry when I get married.”
Close to quitting time.
A few more colleagues mentioned the short video to Xu Qingyan, and he could only force a laugh. He thought to himself that he better not run into the boss, when he suddenly came face-to-face with Teacher Li, who had led the team that day.
“Good afternoon, Teacher Li.” Xu Qingyan greeted respectfully.
“Xiao Xu, have you seen that short video? More than seven hundred thousand likes, not bad,” Teacher Li said cheerfully.
“Isn’t it bad that the short video got out, Teacher Li?” Xu Qingyan was a bit embarrassed, the leader also bringing this up, “I’ll talk to someone about it.”
“No need, it’s nothing, it’s just a mobilization. As long as it doesn’t involve leaks, it’s fine,” Teacher Li waved his hand, signaling that he didn’t need to worry, “We didn’t discuss the theme of the Spring Festival Gala at the mobilization meeting, only the benefits of participating in the Gala. For example, this experience, how it can help with internships later on.”
