As time quietly flowed by, the correspondence between Lin Dongzhe and Xiao Ting never ceased. Each letter was like a little spirit traversing the river of time, carrying their longing and care, frequently crossing between the two cities. Xiao Ting always thoughtfully enclosed beautiful envelopes and study materials in her letters, as if she were accompanying Lin Dongzhe on his academic journey in this way. 0
 
One tranquil afternoon, sunlight filtered through the mottled leaves and spilled onto Lin Dongzhe's desk. Sitting by the window, he held Xiao Ting's latest letter in his hands, a smile unconsciously spreading across his face. In his reply to Xiao Ting, he slowly narrated the blossoming love story between Lu Zean and Suzhou, filled with blessings for them and dreams of love. Although the bond between Lin Dongzhe and Xiao Ting had yet to deepen further, the subtle hints of affection lingered like a gentle spring breeze around their hearts. 0
 
When Lin Dongzhe picked up his pen and carefully wrote the words "Which university do you want to apply to?" on the letter, his heart raced slightly. 0
 
Soon after, Xiao Ting's reply crossed mountains and rivers to reach Lin Dongzhe. When he saw her elegant handwriting stating that she wanted to apply to National Chiao Tung University, a wave of joy surged within him, as if he had spotted a guiding lighthouse through the fog. Immediately after, a firm belief took root in his heart; without hesitation, he picked up his pen and solemnly wrote in his reply to Zhuang Xiaoting: "I want to apply to the same university as you." 0
 
From that moment on, Lin Dongzhe seemed like a different person, filled with energy and determination. In class, his previously wandering gaze became focused and passionate, closely following the teacher's every move and not missing any explanation of knowledge points. Whenever the teacher posed a question, he eagerly raised his hand to answer; his once somewhat immature responses now appeared clear and insightful, drawing curious glances from his classmates. After class, he no longer indulged in play as before but instead immersed himself in a sea of books and exercises. In the school library, he could always be found buried in study materials, surrounded by piles of resources. Sometimes he furrowed his brow in deep thought over a difficult problem; other times he would break into a smile after overcoming challenges, basking in a sense of accomplishment. 0
 
At night, when the entire city gradually fell into slumber, Lin Dongzhe's room remained defiantly lit. Sitting at his desk, he recited English vocabulary and literature passages over and over again; the knowledge seemed to transform into lively notes dancing in his mind. When faced with challenging math problems, he would delve into them repeatedly, filling sheet after sheet of scratch paper until he thoroughly clarified his problem-solving approach. On his desk was a sticky note with "National Chiao Tung University" written on it—his goal and source of motivation. 0
 
Song Ying and Lin Wufeng occasionally noticed Lin Dongzhe's relentless efforts to gain admission alongside Xiao Ting; his focused expression and tireless study habits left them both astonished. Their eyes reflected shock and admiration for their son's determination; they felt pained by how hard he worked yet were comforted by his steadfastness. 0
 
That evening, Song Ying gently pushed open Lin Dongzhe's door, holding a steaming cup of milk with a smile as she placed it on his desk. "Lin Dongzhe," she said softly, "don't tire yourself too much; take a break and drink some milk." Lin Wufeng then walked into the room as well, patting their son's shoulder with words full of encouragement and support. 0
 
As for Suzhou, she was aware of her brother's correspondence with Xiao Ting and the gradually warming affection between them. Her heart brimmed with curiosity and anticipation for their relationship. Like an enthusiastic little fan, she often imagined scenes of her brother spending time with Zhuang Xiaoting in her mind. Privately, she would share stories about her brother with Lu Zean, expressing her fondness for them as a couple. In her eyes, her brother’s determination for love was incredibly handsome, while Xiao Ting seemed like the perfect partner who could walk hand-in-hand into the future with him. Sometimes she would secretly keep an eye on her brother's academic progress, silently cheering him on in hopes that he would soon realize his dream of reuniting with Zhuang Xiaoting at National Chiao Tung University. 0
