Generally speaking, there were more female students in law school. After Gu Yan enrolled as a freshman, he unsurprisingly continued his experience from junior high and high school. Within a week, he was approached or hit on by many girls, both overtly and covertly. Some of the more lively and proactive girls even directly asked Gu Yan if he was single and if he would consider dating them. Each time, Gu Yan politely and tactfully refused.
He didn't actually plan to have a relationship during his university years. This wasn't because he already had a clear plan for the future, but precisely because he was still uncertain about it. Whether to study abroad or directly join his sister's law firm, Gu Yan hadn't decided yet.
Therefore, he didn't want to be in a relationship. Because once in a relationship, one has to be responsible for another person's life as well. Gu Yan didn't want different career paths at graduation to force one of them to sacrifice and compromise. Nor did he want to be forced to part ways because of such realities. He felt that a relationship that couldn't last was meaningless, a pure waste of time.
