Time flew by, and before I knew it, winter vacation had started. Lu Jiaxin hadn't slacked off for a moment this past half year, taking tutoring sessions during evenings and weekends. Her hard work had paid off—she had finished an entire year's curriculum in just six months.
Nie Zhan initially didn't know about it until he overheard Zong Jinghua mentioning it unintentionally during her vacation. He spoke with heartfelt concern, "You silly girl, why push yourself so hard?"
Lu Jiaxin said with a smile, "When it's time to study, I study hard; when it's vacation, I relax properly. Tomorrow I'm going back to the Mainland to take care of some matters, and then I'll fly directly to the Maldives. If you have time, come and meet me in the Maldives."
