"Sister."
Suddenly, Zhou Li asked, "If I had gone to Beijing for the college entrance exam that year, would you have missed me?"
"You're at Jishu University."
Pinching Zhou Li's nose, Tao Yao smiled gently, "I would miss you as well."
"But..."
There was a hint of hesitation in Zhou Li's eyes, just like any other ordinary day, nothing was out of the ordinary. He raised his eyes and looked at Tao Yao in front of him, softly saying, "I stayed here."
Tao Yao was taken aback; she tossed her long hair behind her ears, and a faint blush involuntarily swept across her eyes. She pursed her lips and whispered:
"I'm your older sister, I'll miss you whenever you're not by my side, because I love you. But that's not the reason I tie you down here. Of course, you've grown up, whatever you choose, I will understand."
"Even if I stay here?"
Zhou Li tentatively asked, "Like... becoming a teacher at Jishu University?"
"Yes."
