My 21-Year-Old Cool School Girl

When I first met Gu Yue, I had no special feeling. I just thought maybe we could become friends, that's all. But later, Gu Yue became my only exception. Years later, I was driving a car with her in the passenger seat. I glanced at the familiar street scene outside the car window, and I suddenly remembered the time when I had just confirmed our relationship with her, and couldn't help but smile. She asked me in confusion why I was laughing, and I said, "It's nothing. I just remembered the time when we first got together. At that time, I was always afraid that I wouldn't be able to catch you. Every time we quarreled, I felt like the sky was falling." I looked at her: "I feel so sad from those days to this day." She held my right hand and said with a slight smile: "But didn't you catch me in the end? No matter how difficult it is, it will only be easier in the future than now." Over the years, I have been pursuing freedom, and it wasn't until I looked back that I discovered: The most precious freedom is never to be carefree, but to finally have someone who makes you willing to settle down.
