Chapter: 1831
Young people with diverse skin tones are seen everywhere at the University of Tokyo, wearing simple and casual clothing, carrying backpacks, or holding textbooks, many looking very busy.
At first, he was perplexed, watching as there were still half a month before the year-end, why didn't the Japanese university take a break.
Later, it became clear to him that although Japan's culture has been deeply influenced by China, Japanese people also celebrated the Spring Festival in the past. However, since the Meiji Restoration, the Japanese people have tried to break away from Asia and adopt Western customs, so they changed the New Year from the lunar calendar to the solar calendar.
As a result, Japan's largest and most solemn festival is actually Chinese people's Spring Festival.
Currently, Tokyo University seems to be entering the eve of winter vacation, with students all working hard to prepare for exams.
Ye Chen strolled through the campus of Tokyo University, his mind wandering to Ito Nana's days at this university.
It would have been difficult to imagine if he hadn't seen it himself - the girl who looked so weak and fragile was not only a top student at Tokyo University but also an extraordinary martial artist.
This girl had contradictions on her body that were truly bipolar.
When he passed by the library, Ye Chen even saw Ito Nana's cheering posters on street lamps.
The poster showed Ito Nana wearing school uniform, with a smiling face that was truly captivating.
The contents of the poster called upon Tokyo University students to support Ito Nana participating in the Wushu Competition for International University Students.
They even gave her labels such as "Japan's No. 1", "Pride of Japanese Women", and "Olympic Gold Medal Contender".
Ye Chen shook his head upon seeing this.
These labels, I suppose, were meant to be encouraging words from classmates to Nana for her.
However, these labels also morally bound Nana to some extent.
It's as if they're constantly telling Nana you must win, or else you'll let down the expectations of your parents and teachers in Jiangdong.
Compared to such mercenary cheering slogans, Ye Chen felt that it was better to simply tell her: "Just do your best, even if you fail, we'll still support you."
As he thought this over, Ye Chen shook his head and took a deep breath, then pulled out his phone to take a photo of the poster as a memento.
As time passed, the sky had already turned completely dark, so he stepped out of Tokyo University.
Stepping out of Tokyo University, on the street next to it, there was a girl playing the guitar and singing, catching his attention.
There were many people playing guitars and singing on the streets in Japan, but this girl was playing a Chinese song.
This song was actually Piao Shi's Ordinary Road.
"That sentence 'I have once crossed mountains and seas, and traversed human mountains and rivers. I used to own everything, but now it's all scattered like smoke' suddenly struck Ye Chen's heart, making him stop in his tracks."
"This girl looks about 20 years old, a bit slender, not tall enough, but very pleasant-looking."
"The little girl sings well, but the many Japanese people walking by her on the side probably due to not understanding the reason all pass through her coldly, without even looking at her once." JrNovels.com
