Lin Ziran said she wanted to study abroad in Country M, to further her studies in animation, which was true. But she also had another secret she didn't share—she wanted to go there to quietly have her baby.
Several times, she impulsively wanted to tell Ou Lan about her pregnancy, but after much thought, she decided to keep this secret to herself.
If Ou Lan knew she was pregnant, she would worry even more. This was her secret alone, and it was best kept to herself. The road ahead needed to be traveled alone.
Listening to Lin Ziran plan her future career, Ou Lan was very pleased, "That's great, Ziran. You're not trapped by emotions; you can be strong like this. I support you. I'll cover your study abroad expenses."
Thinking about how she intended to return all her money to Qin Qingnan, Lin Ziran accepted Ou Lan's offer of financial support.
