To those who persist in their dreams

  So, although Yin Xian was in school and attending classes, his mind wasn't on the lesson all morning.

  Come over at noon and invite us to have barbecue.

  The class hadn't ended yet when Yoon Hyun received a text message from Jang Ja-yeon.

  Yoon Hyun hadn't mentioned to anyone that he had met the owner of this roast meat store, which was probably opened by Kang Hu-dong, and he quietly kept the signature with a teasing message.

  Because Yoon Hyun was far from the barbecue shop, by the time he arrived, Jang Beom June, Lee Ji Hyeon and Ham Eunjung, who wasn't very close to him, were already waiting for him.

  "The meat is done." Qu Bao's resentment was full.

  "Yoon Ji-hye has work and can't come." Ham Eun-jung looks a bit shy, but still very quiet. However, Yoon Hyun knows that this is probably just because they haven't seen each other for a while, and soon this girl won't be in this state.

  "Are you tired from class this morning?" Li Zhi Xian's response was filled with warmth.

  After listening to Jeon Bora's words, and then hearing Lee Jihyun ask like that, Yunhyeon's bones almost turned soft. Sigh, he really is a spineless otaku! But... why did he not have any feelings towards Jeon Bora at all, yet he had no resistance towards Lee Jihyun?

  Could it be that I'm really an older sister control freak?

  "I'm fine. Did Bao Lan's interview go well this morning?" Yoon Hyun-soo expressed his gratitude to Lee Ji-hyun and then asked Bao Lan.

  "Oh, after receiving your call, I didn't have the mood to attend the interview! Not only did I lose my composure, but even Enjing was affected and her performance was impacted." Qu Bao Lan said angrily.

  "We're all heartbroken for Ji-hyun, aren't we?" Ham Eun-jung didn't overreact, but the resentment was still palpable. The little devil locked up inside her began to show its tail.

  "Oh no! You two!" Li Zhi Xian's face turned red, "I've told you it's not like that, what are you trying to do?!"

  "Ji Xian, what's going on? Can you tell me?" Yin Xian suppressed the anticipation in his heart and said with a serious face.

  "There's nothing going on!" Li Zhi Xian said with a red face, but his eyes were very clear. "It's just that although I don't like those cheesy and reasonable-sounding words, I feel like what you said to me was really beneficial. Just because I praised you in front of Bao Lan and En Jing, they misunderstood."

  "Oh..." Yoon Hyun felt a hint of disappointment, "It's okay if nothing's wrong."

  "Jiyeon, are you sure you're telling the truth?" Ham Eun-jung still had her doubts, and since she was quite close to Jiyeon, she spoke more freely, "Then why did I hear you say Yeon's name in your sleep?"

  "Ah! How is this possible!" Li Zhi Xian was stunned for a moment, his eyes filled with surprise and confusion.

  "En Jing, I told you this trick won't work." Quan Bao Lan shook her head on the side, she also saw that Li Zhi Xian wasn't deceived, "Zhi Xian didn't fall for it."

  "Shut up!" Lee Ji-hyun shouted in anger.

  Hae-in quietly retreated, realizing her tactics had failed. She immediately put on a pitiful expression, making it difficult for Lee Ji-hyun to express his anger.

  Yoon Hyun was petrified. He knew that Jeon Bora was close to Ham Eunjung now because Ham Eunjung was very close to Park Ji-yeon. As for why Ham Eunjung and Park Ji-yeon were close, it seemed like they had a similar level of taekwondo skills and had a bit of a crush on each other...

  It sends shivers down one's spine!

  However, after they really started eating, Haeunjeong's straightforward personality, which was revealed when she let loose, was something that Yeon appreciated. Although both were taekwondo girls, compared to the fierce Park Jihyun, Haeunjeong seemed much more three-dimensional.

  After dinner, several people parted ways, and Yin Xian returned to school to continue classes.

  In the midst of a tense school life, summer arrived in 2006. Another semester had ended for Yoon Hyun.

  When the final exam results came out at the end of the semester, Yoon Hyun-ji set a record by completing all the credits required for graduation in just one and a half years.

  And there were even more.

  This made Yoon Hyun's name resound throughout the alumni circle of Seoul University.

  Even Kim Tae-hee, who is currently filming a drama, said with a proud face in an interview: "The student who can graduate from Seoul University in a year and a half is my dear little brother!"

  For Yin Xian, although it felt light and fluttering, he hadn't been so happy that he forgot himself. After accumulating enough credits, he applied for graduation at the first opportunity and also applied for a graduate quota from the head of the Philosophy Department.

  This was actually part of a deal where the department head supported him to graduate as soon as possible.

  Get a Ph.D. at the fastest speed. This is currently Yoon Hyun's main goal.

  This summer, the pseudo-football fan's blood began to boil again, and he came up with a plan to go to Germany to watch the World Cup and make some extra money. Especially after experiencing various negative news, the odds of Italian football are now high and do not match their traditional strong team identity.

  But it seems that some things often change faster than plans can keep up with.

  Just like Yoon Ji-hye's unexpected pregnancy last year, this year Yoon Hyun has another surprise: due to his dazzling performance at school, he was honorably selected as the school representative and will participate in many formal and informal political tasks.

  Yoon Hyun was originally going to find an excuse to avoid it, but when he heard that he could go to the United States to visit the UN headquarters and also had the opportunity to meet Ban Ki-moon, one of Seoul University's most famous graduates, Yoon Hyun immediately agreed. Although the Secretary-General of the United Nations is still Kofi Annan, Yoon Hyun, who has memories of his past life, is very clear that this person will soon become one of the most famous figures in Korean history.

  After more than a week of intensive training, Yoon Hyun and the other nine students finally boarded the plane to New York.

  Yin Xian walked out of New York airport, although in his previous life he had accumulated a fairly solid foundation in English for reading papers and taking various exams, but this was after all his first time coming to an English-speaking country, and his heart still had some nervous excitement.

  Actually, Yin Xian had wanted to come to the United States for a long time. This was partly due to his past life's otaku complex. It is said that America can be divided into pre-911 and post-911 America. He really wanted to visit New York before 911 to see the Twin Towers of the Empire State Building.

  It's already 2006 now, and the Twin Towers have long become history.

  Yin Xianke had no interest in going to see the ruins and receive American-style patriotic education.

  Before visiting the United Nations Headquarters, there was still some free time. Other classmates who went together chose to visit various famous places, such as Wall Street and the Statue of Liberty, and Yin Xian had no choice but to follow along.

  The Statue of Liberty, like the Christ statue in S?o Paulo, Brazil, the Great Wall in China and the Pyramids in Egypt, has become a symbol of a country. So when you come to America, come to New York, if you don't visit the Statue of Liberty, it's as if you've never been there at all.

  As it is summer vacation, there are a large number of tourists here, it can be said that it is crowded.

  So it was just queuing up to visit and taking photos as a keepsake. Because Yoon Ji-hye knew that Yoon Hyun was going to the US to "do great things", she was so excited that she designed six sets of clothes for him, paired with his straight body and casual but not sloppy hairstyle, which directly made Yoon Hyun stand out in the crowd.

  There were even Chinese tourists queuing on one side secretly taking pictures of him with their mobile phones.

  Yoon Hyun still quite appreciates this feeling, smiling and walking past to a girl who was taking his picture: "Although I'm Korean, I'm not some kind of star! Taking my picture is useless!" in fluent Beijing dialect.

  The girl was completely stunned by Yoon Hyun's tone and even forgot to press the shutter.

  Yin Xian turned around with a flourish and returned to his classmates.

  "What did you just say to her?" a classmate asked Yoon Hyun-i.

  Yin Xian felt somewhat melancholic.

  "Can Yoon Hee still speak Chinese?" The classmate was somewhat surprised.

  "Korean, Chinese, English, French, and also Japanese." Yoon Hyun boasted calmly.

  "Yin Xian can try to become a diplomat in the future!" another classmate said with a sigh.

  Yin Xian smiled awkwardly and thought to himself, I really don't have that wish.

  Leaving from under the Statue of Liberty, everyone arrived at the heart of world finance, Wall Street.

  Wall Street is actually the place that Yin Xian is really interested in coming to. For Yin Xian, who now has nearly $10 million in cash deposits in the bank, it's better to try to find some future world-shocking companies that have not been discovered by people yet, such as those like "Non-Death" and so on, rather than leaving the money in the bank to gather dust.

  This is actually a kind of bad taste that only otaku would have. It's not about making a lot of money, but rather a sense of participation in history, or to put it in cheesy English, be part of something big.

  But he also knew that such opportunities rarely appear on Wall Street, and it's better to try his luck in Silicon Valley.

  However, as a philosophy major, he still believed in causality. So although he really wanted to join the game, once he thought that his appearance might cause some factors to change and alter someone else's fate, it was a very heavy thing.

  Good fortune is what I obtain; bad fortune is what I bring upon myself.

  At this moment he doesn't look like a philosopher, but rather like a superstitious old lady.

  The stock exchange on Wall Street is really not a good place for sightseeing. It's crowded, noisy and more headache-inducing than a vegetable market.

  So the group of people just took a look and were very disappointed and decided to leave.

  Then naturally entered the shopping time. Among the crowd, there was only one girl who naturally got a lot of attention from other boys. Many boys volunteered to accompany her shopping, and Yeon didn't join in on the commotion. With a hint of disappointment in the girl's eyes, he casually started his stroll through the streets of New York.

  Anyway, this is the center of New York, and there's no shortage of excitement anywhere you go.

  After walking two blocks, Yoon Hyun became tired and ordered a clear coffee at a cafe. He sat in the outdoor seating area of the cafe, watching busy New Yorkers come and go.

  New York may not be the busiest city in the world, but it's definitely one of them. Almost all busy cities in the world are modeled after New York. Just two blocks away from Wall Street, amidst the hustle and bustle of people rushing to and fro, many would stop by this café for a cup of coffee to refresh themselves, but now there is only him sitting here as the sole customer.

  Suddenly, Yun Xian thought of his father who was already gray-haired but still struggling alone in Beijing, thought of Quan Bao Lan who would occasionally have red eyes but still wore a smile to go for interviews every day, and thought of his sister who often held a bun in her mouth while rubbing her feet in the dance studio.

  At this moment, he felt bewildered.

  He knew why he was confused, but he didn't want to think about it.

  A bustling street, Yoon Hyun sitting quietly.

  Just like the scene in the movie loved by Yoon Hyun's past life.

  There is a strange and exotic beauty.

  The next morning, the group was ready to go. Today was the day they were scheduled to visit the United Nations Headquarters. Moreover, the Korean Ambassador to the UN, Ban Ki-moon, a renowned alumnus of Seoul University, would meet and chat with them.

  All the arrangements for the trip were made personally by the ambassador. Seoul University once again demonstrated its special status in Korea here. Several students who are outstanding in their respective departments at school behaved like little kids, bowing to every passing staff member, extremely polite and courteous.

  Such an expression naturally also received unanimous praise from two predecessors.

  After visiting, it's time for lunch meeting, which is actually a sincere talk session under the guise of eating.

  Facing the two seniors, several students performed extremely well, with confident and humble words, wise conversations filled the entire lunch meeting with harmony.

  Yoon Hyun always maintained a confident smile but didn't say much.

  This also sparked Pan Jiwen's interest.

  "Are you Yoon Hyun-i?" Park Ki-woon greeted Yoon Hyun-i proactively.

  This made Yoon Hyun somewhat taken aback: "Yes."

  "Ah, I saw your name on an alumni email recently and it left a deep impression!" Pan Ki-mun said with a smile.

  "Thank you, senior. I still have a lot to learn from you." Yoon Hyun had a small excitement.

  "I heard you've already applied for graduation? You can learn some other related things in school, such as languages, which will be very useful when you go out into society." Pan Jiwen kindly offered his suggestions.

  "Senpai, Yoon Hyun is fluent in several foreign languages." The classmate next to him who was shocked under the Statue of Liberty said, promoting Yoon Hyun.

  "Oh? Several foreign languages?" The ambassador on the other side also showed interest. He wasn't a graduate of Seoul University, so he wasn't very clear about Yun Hyun's feat of graduating in a year and a half.

  "I can speak, listen, read and write Chinese fluently. I have no problem reading and writing English, but my listening and speaking skills are slightly weaker. I can only read and write French. I can hold simple conversations in Japanese."

  "Oh? That's not easy at all!" The ambassador's eyes lit up.

  "From a young age, I learned it, and my father even hit me because I spoke Chinese better than Korean." Yoon Hyun joked.

  Everyone burst out laughing.

  With this interlude, Yoon Hee naturally joined in on everyone's conversation, and it has to be said that these diplomatic professionals really do have the ability to make every person feel like they're basking in a warm spring breeze.

  But Yoon Hyun's feelings about this were especially clear, despite his heavy heart.

  The luncheon was drawing to a close and had reached the routine photo-taking and autograph-signing stage.

  "What does Yoon Hyun want to write?" asked Park Ki-mun with a smile.

  Yin Xian thought for a moment and said: "Trouble senior to write: For those who are searching for their dreams."

  Pan Ki-mun's hand holding the pen paused for a moment, as if in thought. He spoke to Yoon Hyun in a measured tone: "Dreams are not hard to find, just ask yourself and you'll know. I think this sentence might be more meaningful to your future self."

  After finishing, he wrote a sentence on the signature given to Yin Xian: To those who insist on their dreams.
