Two years later
It's the end of spring and the start of summer again.
In the courtyard, trees on both sides sway their lush branches and leaves, casting dappled shadows that trace the sunshine.
After handing in the final draft of her graduate thesis that has tormented her for the better part of a year, Mu Xiangwan's mood was exceptionally light on her way home.
She was finally about to graduate, and although her mentor had intentions for her to pursue a PhD, the thought of the 'third kind of person' made her shake her head in refusal.
Another reason for declining a PhD was because Su Chaoyang had said they'd get married as soon as she graduated.
She was worried that pursuing a PhD might interfere with marriage plans. Her intention was to marry this year and have a child next year! Even though a PhD wasn't completely contradictory to these plans, she wanted to devote herself wholeheartedly to being Mrs. Su and have a baby with the Su surname!
