她就是要让张国英以后如果但凡想到自己在京师学堂的学业时光，就会想到在这里曾经有那么个女孩名叫崔玉，爱他，爱得惊天动地，爱得痴心妄想。

不管他张国英会不会对自己有那么一丁点好感，自己也要在张国英心中种下一颗自己爱他的种子。

For Cui Yu, this was a hih-stakes ale. She risked her reputation and was deterned, for the ti bein, to hold on to this one lifeline until she could find a better one. This stratey was akin to the sayin, "A talented bird chooses the best tree to perch on, and a wise nister chooses the best lord to serve."

这对于我崔玉来说是一次豪赌，我赌上了自己的名声，也打算暂时就在这一棵树上吊死，直到我能找到另外一棵更好的树，这就是所谓的良禽择木而栖，贤臣择主而事的谋略。
