Translator: 549690339

“By the way, after all these years, now that we’ve finally met again, should we exchange contact information?” Ian Morris asked, “I haven’t come across any old classmates in Belfard all these years.”

Though a small southern town, Nork City was economically well-off.

It couldn’t compare to first-tier cities like Belfard, but without any high ambitions, one could still live a comfortable life there.

So, most people from Nork City chose to return to their hometown after graduating, finding jobs that may not pay much, but were enough to get by. In Nork City, incomes might not be high, but the low cost of living ensured a decent life.

In all these years in Belfard, Ian Morris really hadn’t encountered any old classmates.

Running into Cindy Clarke today was truly a pleasant surprise.

Moreover, it wasn’t just a simple surprise.

If it weren’t for the deep impression Cindy had left on him in high school, how could he have recognized her at a glance after all these years?

Back then, he was the most popular guy in school, garnering much attention and only harbored a little crush on Cindy.

However, he mainly focused on his academics.

He was ambitious, unwilling to be confined to a small city like Nork City, and aspired to be admitted to a medical school in Belfard.

Therefore, he didn’t have the time to indulge in puppy love.

Even if he wanted to, he’d have to wait till he got accepted first.

At the time, he had observed Cindy’s grades and knew that she could get into a school in Belfard.

But unexpectedly, she chose to stay in Nork City in the end.

Ian Morris didn’t understand, with Cindy’s grades, she could have gotten into Belfard University, so why did she choose to stay in the ordinary and low-profile Nork University?

What use could the little tuition saved even be?

What she saved was four years’ worth of tuition, but what she potentially sacrificed were her future opportunities, competitiveness, and even more money.

However, that was a decision Cindy had made, and Ian Morris naturally wouldn’t say anything to her about it.

All the same, he couldn’t help but feel a touch of regret in his heart.

He had come to Belfard full of vigor and ambition, bidding farewell to his past.

He felt as if his budding feelings for Cindy had been nipped in the bud, with no chance of ever seeing her again.

Years later, meeting her at a reunion, he wondered what she would look like.

However, he was studying medicine in Belfard, and after graduating, he planned to stay and work there.

After all, Belfard had numerous Tier 3 hospitals and renowned doctors, offering plenty to learn and experience.

In the future, the gap between him and the classmates who remained in Nork City would only grow

With a faint hint of pride, Ian Morris contemplated this thought.

However, life in Belfard was not easy.

The cost of living was high.

An undergraduate degree in medicine wasn’t enough.

During his postgraduate studies, he got an internship at Pentz General Hospital.

Only after rotating through each department and earning satisfactory scores could he stay at the hospital and graduate smoothly.

As an intern, his salary was indeed low.

Moreover, he was too busy with work to even think about dating.

Besides, there were numerous practical issues that made him unable to afford a relationship for the time being.

Unexpectedly, he ran into Cindy here today.

He wondered how she ended up coming to Belfard from Nork City and becoming such a famous food blogger..
