Chapter 2
" You haven't passed your papers yet. "
It was a question for a sentence. She is now asking about my enrollment in Beijing University. She has been monitoring me, and curious of what's taking me so long. I prepared for this.
" I am taking Linsheng University, Mom. " She paused in shock of what I've said, and felt her building disappointments but still in her bare authoritative face.
" Why makes you come into this decision? " It was quite surprising that she asking my reason with it, most of the time, it's either she allows me, and makes her decide for myself without hearing any of my explanation, because she always find it absurd.
" They have given me a great offer, I could study the course of my interest, and at the same time I'll be doing my cello, taking note that they are the number one school who have produced professional Cello Artist and rank as 2nd in Top Performing School for University. And on the other hand, B.U can only offer me one, just holding the record as the Number One school in the country. I think it's not that worth it. "
I could sense how she was amaze with these thoughts that came from my mouth. She would never exchange anything from Cello even Beijing University, it was her wildest dream of becoming one of the professional artist, but the only thing she failed to do, and now she wants me to fulfill this dream for her. I was never fond of it, but she insisted in enrolling me and as time flies, I've learned and became proficient and later on it became a habit.
" It's great to know that you weighed all the pros and cons in every aspect before you came into this decision, and you did your research in choosing a university where you could still practice Cello and study at the same time, I love this new behavior of yours, you are slowly becoming a real Yue. " taken back of what her compliments with me, now I'm the one in surprise. I thought this would be harder than I thought but it came out easily which I was not expecting.
" Because I am one. " I don't know where this guts came from that I blurted this word proudly.
" Yes you are, dear. But the next time we have this kind of event, be earlier, I don't want them to think that my children are slacking. " and she didn't forget that, luckily, she just let it slipped off.
" Yes Mom. I will. "
While on our way home, the silence filled every corners in the car, but it was not awkward being alone with her, and the first time I felt good doing something by my own.

LinSheng University
Albert and my personal assistant, Airah, is with me today to escort me in enrollment. Basically, Airah could do all the works for me, but I want to learn this kind of details, if I want to become an Independent one then I should become one, and also I want to check the campus too.
" Where is the Registration office here, Sir? " Albert asked one of the guards in the area.
While standing wearing a beige top with casual blazer partnered with a plaid pants and 2 inch oxford shoes in the bottom. I saw some of students were looking at me, I'm not famous but my family is quite familiar, not to be assumed but maybe some of them might be familiar with me.
" It's on the right side corner of the next building sir. " the guard replied on Albert.
On our way, it didn't draw too much attention as the crowd were full of busy students for the enrollment that is going on. I was observing them, so this is how a college campus looks like, a little bit messier that you'll see everyone in their own business, and compared my senior high school, students were disciplined and arranged.
