"During the four years in university, I took up part-time jobs and in between studying and working, I had no time to even think about relationships or love. It was not something that I deemed substantial. By the time I graduated from university, I had landed a job in Chengshi. It was a competitive industry, and I had the lowest qualification among the architects. I could only pursue further studies and continue on the path working while studying. When I first started, naturally I had to put in more effort compared to others to be recognized. Adding to that was my postgraduate studies, I would say that during those times I had to squeeze really hard to find time to sleep."
"To me, a relationship is still a luxury." Song Yu took a deep breath. "Now that I'm finally on the right track and with less crazy work hours, I've been thinking about something that has bothered me more than once."
