Chapter 241: Chapter 241: More Than Just a Pleasant Surprise
"By the way, it’s been so many years since we last met, how about exchanging contact information?" Rong Jingyan said, "In all my years in City B, you’re the only old classmate I’ve run into."
As a small southern city, Ye City isn’t large, but it has a decent economy.
Although it can’t compare to first-tier cities like City B, if one doesn’t have too high aspirations, life can still be quite satisfying.
So, most people from Ye City choose to return home after graduation and find a job that, while not high-paying, allows them to live comfortably.
In Ye City, while income isn’t high, neither is the cost of living, so life can be quite good.
Rong Jingyan hadn’t really run into any old classmates during all his years in City B.
Running into Ye Fei today was truly a surprise.
And it’s more than just a simple surprise.
If he hadn’t been so impressed with Ye Fei in high school.
How else could he have recognized her at a glance after all these years?
It’s just that back in high school, he was the school heartthrob, always in the spotlight, and he only had a budding fondness for Ye Fei.
But his thoughts were mainly focused on his studies.
He was an ambitious person who didn’t want to be confined to a small city like Ye City; he was determined to get into a medical university in City B.
So, he didn’t have the mind to invest in an early romance.
Even if he wanted to, it would have to wait until he was admitted.
Back then, he even observed Ye Fei’s grades, and with her academic performance, she could have had a chance to come to City B too.
But unexpectedly, she chose to stay in Ye City.
Rong Jingyan couldn’t understand; with Ye Fei’s grades, she could have applied to the University of B; why choose to stay at the obscure Yecheng University?
What’s the point of saving a bit on tuition?
The tuition saved was for just four years, but what she sacrificed were decades of future prospects and competitiveness, possibly even more money.
But after all, it was Ye Fei’s own choice, and Rong Jingyan certainly wouldn’t say anything to her about it.
He just couldn’t help but feel a bit of regret.
He had come to City B with high spirits, bidding farewell to the past.
Thinking that the budding feelings from high school never fully developed and were already cut off.
In the future, he might never have the chance to meet Ye Fei again.
When they’re middle-aged and old classmates have reunions, who knows what Ye Fei would be like then.
Meanwhile, living in City B, studying medicine, and planning to work in City B after graduation.
After all, City B has more top hospitals, renowned doctors, more to learn, and more exposure.
In the future, the gap between him and classmates who stayed in Ye City would only widen.
Rong Jingyan felt a slight but unmistakable pride in his heart.
But living in City B is by no means easy.
The cost of living is too high.
For a medical student, an undergraduate degree is not sufficient.
During his postgraduate studies, he interned at Puji Hospital.
Rotating through each department, the final results also determined whether he could continue to stay at the hospital and graduate smoothly.
And as an intern medical student, his salary was really not high.
Plus, with a busy work schedule, there truly was no time to consider romantic relationships.
Moreover, many practical issues made it temporarily impossible for him to afford a relationship.
It was just unexpected to run into Ye Fei here today.
He wondered how Ye Fei went from Ye City to City B and became such a famous food blogger.
