Chapter 143 End of the Distance
Time in college always flies by, and graduation day comes in the blink of an eye.
Li Yiran and Chen Ke's relationship is still the same as before, so sweet that it makes people envious.
Chen Ke had been preparing for the postgraduate entrance exam since his junior year and had successfully made it to the retest. Li Yiran and Li Yuxin were both looking for jobs. Both girls received offers at the school's job fair and would be able to start work after receiving their diplomas.
The only thing that made people dissatisfied, or should be said the only thing that bothered Li Yiran a little was that the graduate school that Chen Ke applied for was in the provincial capital of his hometown, but it was far away from the city where they were studying at university. There was a high probability that Chen Ke would be admitted, which meant that the two of them would be in different places.
However, Chen Ke promised her that after he graduated from graduate school, he would return to the city where they studied in college. The economy here was developed and there were many job opportunities.
The day Chen Ke received his retest results, he called his mother. As soon as the call connected, his mother eagerly inquired about the results. Chen Ke held the phone close to his ear and said with a smile, "I passed. I told you before that it wasn't a problem. Don't you know my strength?"
Mother Chen was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling. She said excitedly, "It's better to be close to our hometown. I asked you to tell Yiran to find a job in our hometown, and then you can go back after you graduate. Have you told her about it, or has she already found a job here?"
After hearing what his mother said, Chen Ke hesitated and said, "It's not that easy to find a job in my hometown. Yiran has already found a job in the city where I'm studying for my master's degree. Isn't that better?"
Chen's mother was very satisfied with Chen Ke's answer and hung up the phone excitedly.
After Chen Ke hung up the phone, he let out a long sigh. At least he'd managed to keep it a secret. Before he could even tell Li Yiran about her mother's suggestion, she'd already landed a job. He hadn't expected the company at the campus recruitment fair to hire her. But it didn't matter. He trusted Li Yiran's feelings for him. She'd already opened up to him about her family situation, and he believed she considered him the most important person to her.
When she can no longer bear the pain of a long-distance relationship, she will naturally take the initiative to move to his city.
But Li Yiran was unaware of Chen Ke's subtle intentions. If Chen Ke had asked her to reject the offer now and look for a job in the city where he was studying for his master's degree, she would have agreed. However, Chen Ke not only did not say so, but also lied that he would return to the city after graduating from graduate school.
Li Yiran believed everything he said, so during the three years he was studying for his master's degree, Li Yiran was counting down the days until the two of them would end their long-distance relationship.
Three years have passed in a flash, and Chen Ke's graduate career is about to end.
Li Yiran's work ability has also been recognized by the company. In recent conversations, the leaders have hinted at giving her a promotion.
"Hey, son! Have you found a job in the provincial capital? I heard you say before that the other party is very satisfied with you and wants you to start working as soon as you graduate!"
Chen Ke was revising his graduation thesis when he received a call from his mother. He smiled and replied, "Yes, don't worry!"
"Hey! Okay! What about Yiran? Didn't you say she was looking for a job in the provincial capital? Has she found one? That distant relative I told you about is hiring a clerk at their company. Have you told her about that?"
Chen Ke was stumped by his mother's question. He hadn't yet told his girlfriend about working in the provincial capital of his hometown, but he knew it wouldn't be a big deal. Li Yiran would definitely listen to him. He had to calm his mother down first. He feigned a relaxed response:
"Don't worry, we'll discuss it. And you know Yiran's family situation. It doesn't matter where she lives. She'll definitely choose where I am."
Mother Chen nodded with satisfaction. Her son had always listened to her the most since he was a child. As long as she asked for something, he would definitely do it.
After answering the call from his mother, Chen Ke immediately sent a message to Li Yiran on WeChat, telling her that he would go to see her after he finished his defense.
Li Yiran was so happy. She thought her boyfriend was finally coming to her city and their long-distance relationship could end. Then she would tell him the good news of her promotion!
Unfortunately, when the two met, Chen Ke didn't even give her the chance to share the good news.
On the way back to Li Yiran's residence, Chen Ke said a lot of things at once, and Li Yiran felt dizzy. She picked up two important pieces of information from them.
First, Chen Ke has already found a job in the provincial capital of his hometown.
Secondly, Chen Ke came this time wanting to take her back to his hometown, and her family had already arranged a job for her.
Li Yiran panicked. She had waited three years, only to see this result. For the first time, the girl acted coldly towards Chen Ke, remaining silent.
Chen Ke immediately received the signal that his girlfriend was unhappy. He secretly took out the ring he had prepared in advance from behind his back, knelt on one knee, and proposed to Li Yiran.
The moment she saw the ring, the girl's inner complaints disappeared without a trace. She would soon have a home, a home that belonged to her. This was the dream she had longed to realize since she was a child.
At this moment, she was completely immersed in the joy of being proposed to. When they returned to their residence, Chen Ke went to the bathroom to wash up first. Li Yiran quickly called her good friend Li Yuxin to share the good news with her.
"He wants to take you to the provincial capital of their hometown? Isn't your job here pretty good? And you told me last time that you were going to be promoted. Are there such good development opportunities in their hometown?" Li Yuxin's series of questions did not affect the girl's excitement at all.
"Don't worry, Yuxin. Chen Ke said his family has made all the arrangements for me, and I'll be able to start working there when the time comes. While there aren't as many development opportunities as here, the cost of living is lower, and I won't be spending much. Besides, Chen Ke is also going to work, and if we save together, we'll soon have enough for the down payment on a house back home."
Li Yiran imagined the wonderful life in the future and said happily, "When the time comes, you can come and play with me and sleep at our house!"
Li Yiran is a love-brained person, and Li Yuxin blames her disappointing friend in her heart.
During the three years that Li Yiran and Chen Ke were in different places, it was basically the girl who took a car to find Chen Ke. Even during the winter and summer vacations, it was the girl who went to find Chen Ke.
As long as she said something bad about Chen Ke, Li Yiran would go on a long speech to refute her.
But she is going to say it, and she is going to say it this time!
"But have you ever thought about the fact that if you go there alone and work for the company they introduced you to, and if anything goes wrong in your relationship, you'll be left alone?"
