need to cool down, be more practical about this. A year is a long time for anyone to be apart.

    Xiao Qiang: Wow. I have to say, this wasn't the reaction I'd expected. What is it, Lily, have you met someone else already? Lily: Well...I guess you should know that there's a guy who's been pursuing me for a while now. But believe me when I say I'm not at all interested in him; he's not the reason why I'm saying this. I really feel that a year is a long time, and it's highly likely that you'll be so busy with your training that you won't even have time to e-mail me or call me as much as I would want you to. People can change in the space of three months, let alone a year, and I think it would be natural for us to change as well. Having unrealistic expectations would be unhealthy and ultimately damaging to both of us. I think it would be better for us to put this relationship on a backburner for now, and if it turns out that we still love each other when you come back in a year's time and still want to make it work, then great! If not, no-one's hurt, because no-one expected anything. ......
