Chapter 1836 Isn't It Just a Temporary Separation?

"So, the question is, which choice will make you happier." Ye Shengge and her husband looked at each other, then turned their attention to their daughter, and said with a smile, "Only you know this."

…

After sending her parents away, Qing'er still stood where she was without looking back. She didn't know how to face Ah Yao.

Until the boy hugged her from behind.

Hearing his heavy breathing, Qing'er finally couldn't help it anymore: "Ah Yao..."

"I'm going back to China next week." His voice was a little hoarse. "Dad only gave me a week at most."

Qing'er suddenly felt her heart heavy: "...Are you in such a hurry?"

"Yes." His tone was unexpectedly calm. "Dad worked hard to come to Princeton, so I promised him that I would shoulder my responsibilities. Originally, according to the future planned by my father for me, I would stay here. It’s more conducive to my development at home.”

Qing'er turned around and threw herself into his arms, hugging him hard. She felt that she should say something, but her throat seemed to be blocked. Her lips moved several times but no sound came out.

"You don't need to make a choice." Ah Yao's Adam's apple slipped. "I know your studies are very important to you. Of course you should stay here to continue your work and your dreams. I'm just worried that after I leave, ,you alone……"

Qing'er suddenly felt a sense of sadness in her heart.

"Don't worry, my cooking skills have improved greatly recently." She tried her best to smile, "I will come back to see you whenever there is a holiday in the future."

"Yeah." Ah Yao whispered the word, "I'm sorry, I lied to you."

"...What?" Qing'er was stunned.

"If you had known early on that I wouldn't be able to stay here long, you probably wouldn't have given me a chance from the beginning." Ah Yao smiled mockingly, "So, don't blame yourself. You didn't need to be so embarrassed."

Qing'er's eyes became hot.

"What's the use of talking about this now." Her tone was filled with anger, "I can't bear to let it go..."

Ah Yao took a heavy breath and held her tighter: "I'm sorry, I thought we still had time."

"Hmph..." Qing'er hit him on the shoulder, "It sounds like we are breaking up... Isn't it just a temporary separation?"

"Yeah." He chuckled, paused for a few seconds, and then asked cautiously, "Then..."

"We'll talk about the future later." Qing'er curled her lips, "It depends on whether you have the confidence."

He hummed lowly: "If we spend more time together, I will be more confident..."

"You want to trap me..." Qing'er laughed, "I'm afraid it's not that easy."

Ah Yao didn't speak, but her breathing became heavier and her arms tightened unconsciously, as if she wanted to completely integrate into her life in this way.

Qing'er was almost choked by him and couldn't breathe. She suppressed the emotions surging in her heart, patted his shoulder and said, "Are you trying to strangle me to death? Let go quickly and be careful of your injuries."

Then he slowly lowered his arm and let go of her, but his eyes were already covered with mist. Qing'er only felt that the sourness in her heart was getting worse. She stood on tiptoes and kissed the corner of his lips: "Okay, even if you want to be sad, it shouldn't be now. Isn't there still a week?"

His Adam's apple slipped and he nodded vigorously: "Yes."
