“If you don’t persevere until the end, don’t mention wasting your effort . How would you know if you have thrown away the goal that you have almost achieved?”
Su Yan’s voice rang above her, and Mixiao blinked quietly to herself .
“One more pair eliminated! Four pairs left!”
The host’s voice echoed around .
Mixiao’s soul was drawn back and she studied her surroundings . The pair behind them had dropped out .
She pressed her lips as she glanced at Su Yan . Her palm-sized face looked determined .
Su Yan smiled as droplets of sweat rolled down his face .
They persevered all the way until they were declared the winners .
Mixiao received the prizes and the reporters frantically snapped away .
As requested by the resort management, they needed her to stand with her prizes for a photo . She faced the cameras with a proud smile .
It was as though she had left her fear behind, and she was standing on the podium to receive her trophy .
Confidence overflowed from within and she looked exceedingly beautiful .
“President Su, thank you! This diamond ring is yours . ”
Su Yan and Mixiao exited the venue . Mixiao quickly stuffed the diamond ring in Su Yan’s hands . She held the complimentary voucher in her hands carefully .
“I don’t need it . ” Su Yan gently shook his head and rejected her offer .
But Mixiao insisted that he should have it . “I know you can afford dozens of diamond rings, but these prizes belong to us . We should divide them since we worked together . ”
She stuffed the ring into Su Yan’s hand .
Su Yan bent as he examined the heart-shaped ring box with a faint smile .
He received the ring quietly .
He raised his head and said, “I’ve already spoken to the manager here . If you need anything for the next few days, you can ask him for help . ”
Mixiao widened her eyes in surprise . “President Su, are you going back?”
Su Yan nodded . “My flight is in the afternoon . ”
Mixiao frowned . “Didn’t you say you wanted to stay for two more days?”
“No matter how wonderful or beautiful the scenery is, one will get fatigued if it’s too excessive . ” Su Yan glanced afar at the clear blue waters . After a while, he turned towards her and smiled . “I should just keep it in my heart, and think about it from time to time . ”
“Hmmm…” Mixiao couldn’t quite comprehend Su Yan’s analogy . “Thank you, President Su . ”
Su Yan smiled and pressed on . “You don’t have to thank me . You put in the effort to achieve what you wanted . ”
Mixiao grinned and earnestly said, “President Su, I feel like I’ve learned ten years worth of lessons from you in a day . ”
Su Yan raised his eyebrows . “Fawning on me?”
“No, I am not!” Mixiao waved her hands frantically as she grinned at Su Yan . “Then can I hitch a ride from you to the airport?”
Su Yan surveyed her quietly with his brows raised . Mixiao suddenly blushed bashfully .
“I want to go back home . ”
Su Yan nodded and didn’t probe further . “My flight is at 3:30 p . m . , so we have to leave at 2:40 p . m . ”
“Okay, sure!” Mixiao smiled happily .
They fell quiet, and yet he still felt comfortable and relaxed around her .
Just as he was about to achieve his goal of tranquility and peace, he had the thought that perhaps he needed some excitement in his life .
If not, it would be too boring or lethargic .
