A youthful ten-year promise

Chapter 20 Sweet Confirmation

Time flies like water, slipping silently through their fingers. In the blink of an eye, Shen Yichen and Lin Youran have entered their second year of university life. In this year, they have experienced a lot and grown a lot.

Shen Yichen achieved excellent academic results in the law department, and his logical thinking and debating skills have been greatly improved. He began to study legal knowledge more deeply and actively participated in various moot courts and debate competitions, hoping to lay a solid foundation for his future career.

Lin Youran, on the other hand, shone brightly in the literary society's activities. Her works began to be published in literary magazines both on and off campus, gradually attracting some attention. Her passion and talent for writing were recognized, which further solidified her dream of becoming a writer.

However, as their dreams became clearer, they also began to face more challenges and difficulties. Shen Yichen discovered that working in the legal field not only requires solid professional knowledge, but also rich practical experience and keen social insight. He began to realize that to achieve success in this field, university studies alone were not enough.

Lin Youran, however, discovered that writing was not an easy task. She needed to constantly dig into her inspiration and creativity, and continuously revise and improve her work. At the same time, she also had to face fierce market competition and discerning readers. This put her under immense pressure, and sometimes even led to self-doubt.

"Yichen, I'm starting to feel a little lost," Lin Youran suddenly said to Shen Yichen during a walk.

Shen Yichen stopped and looked at Lin Youran's tired eyes, a pang of heartache rising in his heart. He gently took Lin Youran's hand and said, "Youran, what's wrong? Have you encountered any difficulties?"

Lin Youran sighed and said, "I've found that writing is not an easy thing. I need to constantly dig out my inspiration and creativity, which makes me feel very tired. At the same time, I also have to face fierce market competition and the discerning eyes of readers, which makes me feel a lot of pressure."

Upon hearing this, Shen Yichen felt a surge of protective instinct towards Lin Youran. He said gently, "Youran, don't be discouraged. Writing is a long and arduous path, but as long as you have talent and passion, you will definitely be able to persevere. I believe you have the ability to become an excellent writer. As long as you stay true to your original aspirations and keep working hard, you will definitely be able to realize your dreams."

Looking into Shen Yichen's determined eyes, Lin Youran felt a surge of strength within her. She nodded and said, "Yes, Yichen, I will try my best. Thank you for always being there for me and supporting me."

In the days that followed, Shen Yichen and Lin Youran both began to work even harder to pursue their dreams. They encouraged and supported each other, facing the challenges and difficulties of youth together.

Shen Yichen began to participate more actively in various practical activities and internship opportunities, hoping to accumulate more experience and connections. He used his spare time to participate in mock trial competitions, legal aid activities, and other activities to continuously improve his professional skills and practical abilities. At the same time, he also began to pay attention to social hot topics and current events, striving to cultivate his social insight and sensitivity.

Lin Youran, on the other hand, began to focus more on writing and creation. She constantly explored her inspiration and creativity, trying various writing styles and themes. She started sharing her works and insights on social media, gradually building a fan base and influence. At the same time, she actively participated in various literary lectures and writing workshops, hoping to continuously improve her writing skills and creative abilities.

However, the clash between dreams and reality is always fraught with challenges and difficulties. In a mock trial competition, Shen Yichen encountered formidable opponents and complex cases. He felt unprecedented pressure and difficulties, and even began to doubt whether he was capable of doing the job.

Lin Youran, on the other hand, failed in an important writing competition. Her work was deemed by the judges to lack depth and creativity, which made her feel very frustrated and disappointed. She began to question her writing ability and talent, and even had the idea of ​​giving up writing.

"Yichen, I'm starting to doubt myself." Lin Youran's voice trembled slightly during a phone call.

Hearing Lin Youran's voice, Shen Yichen felt a surge of worry. He quickly comforted her, "Youran, don't be discouraged. Failure is not terrible; what's terrible is losing confidence and courage. I believe you have the ability and talent to become an excellent writer. As long as you stay true to your original aspirations and keep working hard, you will definitely be able to realize your dream."

Hearing this, Lin Youran felt a surge of warmth in her heart. She thanked Shen Yichen for his encouragement and support, and at the same time began to reflect on her shortcomings and areas for improvement.

In the days that followed, Shen Yichen and Lin Youran began to face the challenges and difficulties even more diligently. They encouraged and supported each other, and together they got through this difficult time.

Shen Yichen began to study the case details and legal provisions more deeply, striving to improve his professional skills and debating abilities. He used his spare time to participate in various legal lectures and seminars, hoping to continuously broaden his knowledge and horizons. At the same time, he also started to pay attention to social issues and current events, working to cultivate his sense of social responsibility and mission.

Lin Youran, on the other hand, began to focus more on writing and creation. She constantly explored her inspiration and creativity, experimenting with various writing styles and themes. She began to pay more attention to the quality and depth of her works, striving to improve her writing skills and creative abilities. At the same time, she actively participated in various literary activities and social occasions, hoping to expand her network and influence.

Finally, in an important mock trial competition, Shen Yichen won the championship with his outstanding performance. His professionalism and debating skills were unanimously praised by the judges and the audience, which further strengthened his determination and confidence to pursue a career in law.
