But now, that thought suddenly wavered.
The reason, of course, was unspeakable—it was her little secret.
"I haven't decided yet. What about you, Keiko?"
She kicked the question back to her.
Inoue Keiko was similarly troubled when asked. She shared the same problem as Zhong Xiaofeng.
Originally, she had planned to graduate and return to her country, no surprises there.
Then, predictably, the unexpected happened!
As for what that surprise was, well, she thought it best not to tell her good friend. Otherwise, they might not even be able to remain friends.
"Yoko, I'm just like you. I haven't decided either."
"Okay. Graduation is still a long way off. We have a whole year to think it over."
"You're right, Yoko," Keiko agreed.
The two of them were cheerful again.
