MTMIO Chapter 61
by VolareChapter 61 Sharing a Secret
The ceremony on stage ended, Yue Yunxi turned off her phone screen, and the luncheon officially began. Lu You had no choice but to keep this matter in mind and think about settling the score later.
Before the meal, Lu Huai’an raised his glass for a toast, first praying for his mother’s longevity, then wishing his brother wealth and prosperity. He filled his glass and continued, “Wishing my sister-in-law a happy life and a long-lasting, loving relationship with my Brother Tao, and Tao Tao, may your career be smooth and you become a big star!”
Adding another glass of wine, Lu Huai’an turned to Yue Yunxi, paused, suddenly feeling that something was wrong. His eyes went back and forth between the three young people twice before he realized that the seating arrangement had changed.
He just assumed that Lu You was being mischievous, arguing with Tao Xin over some trivial matter, so he didn’t say much.
Distracted by this, Lu Huai’an directly skipped Yue Yunxi and aimed his glass at Lu You, saying, “As for you… just avoid causing trouble and everything will be fine!”
He offered blessings to everyone else, but to his own daughter, he gave a reminder.
The elders present laughed, not knowing if they deeply agreed or were trying to ease the atmosphere.
Lu You lowered her head and remained silent, too lazy to even roll her eyes at him.
After the toast, everyone began to eat.
The table where Lu You and her group were seated was mostly women, who only ate and didn’t drink. The topics of conversation were filled with the mundane details of family life, which was really boring for the men who rarely came home.
Before long, Lu Huai’an and Tao Mingyuan couldn’t sit still any longer and, using an excuse, went to the table where the “bosses” were gathered.
Grandma watched Lu Huai’an’s back for a long time, reluctantly withdrawing her gaze, putting down her chopsticks, and sighing.
Lu You looked over.
The old lady’s back, which had been straight all morning, collapsed in an instant. Her updo became a little loose, and a strand of white hair fell from her temples, tracing a line of disappointment.
It was rare to have the opportunity for the family to sit down and eat together, but they scattered before they even had a few bites of food.
Lu You used serving chopsticks to put food in Grandma’s bowl, saying, “I’ll educate him later! I’ll nail him here tonight and make sure he has a good meal with you.”
Grandma smiled silently, saying indifferently, “Forget it, let him be.”
“Then let’s go to the old neighbors’ table tonight. Or, go to Chen Feifei’s table, Granny Li Can and Zhong Apo are over there~ Let your son see that we also have many friends and besties to maintain relationships with!”
“Hahaha, alright, alright.” Grandma smiled and noticed the watch on her left wrist, looking at it with curiosity. “Hmm? This watch is pretty, when did you buy it?”
As soon as she said this, several pairs of eyes at the table turned to Lu You.
Their gazes contained their respective emotions, burning on her wrist with different temperatures.
Lu You pulled her hand under the table.
“Um…” she drawled, thinking about how to answer. She picked up a chopstick with her right hand and grabbed a piece of food nearby, but the fishiness made her feel nauseous. She realized it was fish.
Just as she put down her chopsticks, someone thoughtfully handed her a tissue.
She didn’t need to look to know it was Yue Yunxi. She grabbed it and spat out the fish.
Grandma poured juice into her cup, pushed it closer, and said, “You can’t eat it anyway. This fish isn’t even flavorful. Why did you suddenly want to try it? It made you nauseous, right?”
Lu You picked up the cup, thinking the previous topic was over.
But then Tao Xin suddenly spoke up, “I remember, Elder Sister also has a watch like that, bought with her first prize money, she treasures it so much. Eh? Why aren’t you wearing it today?”
Lu You’s hand paused, her mood like a fallen leaf in the cup, floating up and down.
She was nervous, not knowing how Yue Yunxi would answer, but also confident that Yue Yunxi could completely dismiss this topic.
“I saw that Yoyo’s wrist was a bit empty this morning, so I matched it with her outfit. It’s also convenient for her to tell the time,” Yue Yunxi said calmly.
Open and honest, making it impossible for anyone to detect any ulterior motives.
Lu You brought the cup to her lips and took a few sips.
The fishiness lingering in her mouth was quickly covered by the fragrance of citrus.
Grandma smiled and said, “I was wondering why it looked so familiar. Yunxi is so thoughtful.”
Turning to remind Lu You, she said, “Don’t break or lose someone else’s watch.”
Lu You said “Okay,” “I’ll be extra careful.”
Tao Xin didn’t say anything more, pinching her chopsticks and trying hard to pick up the green beans in her bowl, unable to pick up one, she switched to another.
But it was the same. The harder she tried, the less she could pick them up.
In the end, the chopsticks in her hand pushed those two green beans out of the plate.
One of them rolled into Yue Shao’s view and slowly stopped.
Yue Shao stopped rubbing her temples with her hand.
In fact, she was the one who took Yue Yunxi to buy that watch. It should have been her, as the mother, who paid for it, but Yue Yunxi was filial and sensible, using her own prize money.
She thought she would add a sense of occasion, so she got a gift box, lined it with raffia, and scattered some pearls.
When she got home, Yue Yunxi held it in her hand, not yet willing to wear it, when Tao Xin saw it and snatched it away. The gift box was knocked over, and the pearls rolled all over the floor.
One of them rolled straight to the stairwell and stopped at her feet.
Then, she heard Tao Xin say in a muffled voice, “Can’t I even look at it? I didn’t even wear it. Stingy Elder Sister!”
When she entered the room, she saw Tao Xin throw the watch on the table and run off angrily.
She put the fruit platter in front of Yue Yunxi and casually said, “It’s just a watch, there’s no need to argue with your sister like that.”
After that day, Tao Xin would still give in to Tao Xin when Tao Xin wanted something from Yue Yunxi, not caring if Tao Xin took anything from her, except for that wristwatch.
Yue Yunxi had an absolute possessiveness towards that wristwatch, not letting anyone touch it.
And now, this watch was around Lu You’s wrist.
What it meant was self-evident.
After eating about half full, it was time for the guests to sing and liven up the atmosphere. A staff member came to Tao Xin to confirm some matters.
“Let’s talk over there.”
Before getting up to leave, Tao Xin couldn’t help but look to her left.
The waiter placed two small stew pots in front of each person, one green and one white.
Lu You opened the lid and looked inside the stew pot, then turned and switched her white pot with the green pot in front of Yue Yunxi.
“What kind of soup is it?” Yue Yunxi asked, opening the lid of one of the white pots.
The sweet, sticky aroma of red beans wafted out.
“Mushroom soup,” Lu You blurted out almost instantly. “You don’t like it.”
Grandma said, “Mushroom soup, I love it.”
“You can’t drink too much even if you like it, one bowl is enough.”
Grandma snorted, “Don’t think I don’t know, you’re just a greedy deer, wanting to hog two bowls all to yourself.”
“Oops, I’ve been discovered.” Lu You held one bowl in each hand, “They’re all mine!”
The emphasized ending sound was like a hook, causing Yue Yunxi’s eyebrows to slightly lift.
Tao Xin smelled it, heard it, saw it, and her eyes were burned by the heat rising from the mouth of the bowl.
She seemed to see the scene of past family banquets in that hazy mist.
Grandpa, Grandma, Mom, Dad, everyone only had her younger brother in their eyes, and no one noticed her at all.
No matter how hard she tried, how much effort she put in, the people she cared about would only treat her like air, like a curse that couldn’t be removed from her life.
No one would sincerely, violently love her.
Tao Xin bit her lip, suppressed the grievance in her heart, and raised her foot to leave.
If she had looked to her right at this moment, she would have noticed that Yue Shao’s eyes were fixed on her with worry.
Tao Xin originally planned to sing her single released last month at the birthday banquet, but now she didn’t want to sing that song anymore and changed it temporarily.
The birthday banquet planner prepared the accompaniment and confirmed again and again, “The copyright of this song’s accompaniment, you have already declared to the company, right?”
Tao Xin replied absentmindedly with an “Mm.”
The emcee went on stage and solemnly introduced Tao Xin. The variety show she participated in was still being broadcasted, and many young people under the stage were following it. As soon as they heard her name, they were very excited. The moment the prelude to “Eat Wild” sounded, they all turned into boiling kettles, screaming in suppressed voices.
The sound of porcelain spoons falling into the bowl was lightly contained within it, and the soup in the pot swayed for a while before settling down.
Before Tao Xin opened her mouth to sing the first line of lyrics, Lu You said hello, “You guys eat slowly.” and got up from her seat.
Walking out of the hotel, Lu You stopped in front of the steps, took a breath of fresh air, jumped to look at the good scenery of the green hills and clear water in the distance, and when her eyes retracted, she noticed the champagne-colored SUV in the parking space across the street.
It was particularly eye-catching in a row of black and white cars.
Even more eye-catching was that there was someone sitting in the passenger seat, with their face covered by a hat, and at a distance, it was impossible to see what they looked like.
Lu You remembered Zhong Mi saying that she would bring her mother over, and hesitated whether to go over and take a look.
“Why did you come out, aren’t you eating?” Yue Yunxi’s voice reached her ears from behind.
Lu You turned around and saw Yue Yunxi approaching with her hands behind her back, shaking her head, “I’m full, I can’t eat anymore.”
Yue Yunxi asked her, “Do you want to take a walk? To digest.”
Lu You happily agreed, “Okay, I’ll just drop off the shoes at the B&B.”
After saying that, her steps to go back stopped.
She didn’t want to continue walking herself.
At the same time, Yue Yunxi grabbed her wrist and didn’t let her go.
“You don’t need to go back to get them.” Yue Yunxi let go of Lu You, and her hands that were behind her back dropped to the front.
The bag with the high heels was in her hand.
Lu You: “……Then let’s go.”
On the way to the B&B, Yue Yunxi mentioned that when she went to get the shoes in the morning, she asked the front desk to recommend more interesting activities in the resort.
The two talked about this topic all the way.
At the end of the topic, Yue Yunxi’s words seemed to have an unfinished meaning, unrelated to the topic.
Lu You rolled her throat twice and spoke before she could open her mouth, “That–can you ice skate?”
Yue Yunxi looked at her deeply, “Yes.”
“Then…teach me?”
Yue Yunxi jokingly said, “Can I charge tuition?”
She always had the ability to give unexpected answers and continue the topic in an interesting way.
Lu You smiled, “Can I pay on credit?”
“Hmm~” Yue Yunxi said with a drawn-out tone, looking reluctant.
“Can’t I?” Lu You said regretfully, “Then I can only try to find other teachers.”
Yue Yunxi glared at her, “Other teachers?”
“Coaches,” Lu You said with a smile, “There will be coaches at the skating rink.”
“Will the coach give credit?”
“No. But the coach charges money, and Teacher Yue doesn’t charge money, what she charges may be more expensive than money.”
Yue Yunxi smiled, “Oops, I’ve been exposed.”
Lu You raised her eyebrows, her bright and proud, “So, are you going to teach or not?”
Yue Yunxi said, “Call me Teacher one more time.”
Lu You pursed her lips and smiled, paused for a while, and cleared her throat, “Teacher Yue.”
Yue Yunxi let out a light laugh, and said very softly, “Then let’s owe it for now.”
She was talking about “tuition,” and also what she wanted to ask.
The excited heartbeat gradually calmed down, and Lu You slowly exhaled.
She probably guessed what Yue Yunxi wanted to ask.
Probably wanted to ask her, didn’t you say that you felt you had let go, why did you still react so strongly when you heard that person sing that song.
She was glad that Yue Yunxi didn’t ask, because she still didn’t know how to explain it.
Facing Tao Xin, she really wouldn’t feel sad or angry like she did during the time she had just broken up, and she didn’t have as much regret or regret about her choice back then.
Things that have already happened are not suitable for repeatedly taking out of memory to chew, over-consuming.
But as soon as she heard the prelude to Eat wild, she inexplicably remembered the sentence that Chu Xiao had sent her in the beginning——
“In short, she doesn’t love me, and she doesn’t love you, she only loves that Jiaojiao.”
So much so that she suddenly realized that this song was not Tao Xin’s secret love for her.
But Tao Xin’s unspeakable feelings for Yue Yunxi.
It was difficult to describe the feeling that popped up in her heart at the moment of savoring the lyrics, it was very subtle, and she suddenly changed from a participant to an observer.
So, in the mixed feelings, one taste seemed particularly heavy.
ˉ
When she returned to the hotel, Lu You glanced at the parking space, and Teacher Zhong’s champagne gold SUV was gone, she didn’t know where it had gone.
The luncheon was coming to an end, and Lu You found Chen Feifei and the others’ table, discussing going horseback riding, grass sledding, and catching crabs in the afternoon.
The activities were arranged very richly, which she and Yue Yunxi had just discussed.
Zhong Mi was very excited, like a screaming chicken, Lu You mentioned one thing, and she howled.
Li Can’s grandma pulled Zhong Apo to go mahjong with grandma, and the little girl was obviously in a state where the adults were not around and could do whatever she wanted.
“It’s so noisy!” Yun Zhu covered her mouth.
Lu You looked around for a week and asked, “Where’s Teacher Zhong?”
Chen Feifei said, “Teacher Zhong left a long time ago, during that someone’s singing, she never came back after going out, I guess she has something urgent to deal with.”
Mentioning that someone, Li Can glanced at the main table and couldn’t help but complain: “Just now, so many people were surrounding that side for autographs, squeezing the birthday star, Yunxi’s mother’s little bird voice was turned into an old hen, and then the group dispersed.
The main character also doesn’t know how to restrain her fans, it’s someone else’s birthday banquet, and it’s become her fan meeting.”
“Keep your voice down!” Jian Yanzhi nudged Li Can with her shoulder, “Now the fans are very powerful, if they hear you, they’ll hang you on the Internet, and you can wait to be cyberbullied!”
Li Can curled her lips: “What’s wrong with people now, they listen to the wind is rain, not cyberbullying this every day is cyberbullying that, they’re really idle!”
People come and go, and if they continue to talk, it will only do harm and no good if someone with ulterior motives hears them.
Lu You changed the subject and said to Zhong Mi, “I don’t seem to have seen your mother all the time.”
Zhong Mi blinked twice and said, “She didn’t come… something suddenly happened, so she didn’t come, um!”
The last “um” was bitten very hard, as if cheering herself up.
So, the person in the car just now was Teacher Zhong? But, if Teacher Zhong needed to drive out to do something, why would she be sitting in the passenger seat?
Also, the style of clothes seemed a little different from what she had seen before.
Or, did she remember it wrong?
Lu You didn’t delve into it anymore.
Seeing her look thoughtful, Yue Yunxi reminded, “I heard from the front desk that you can also change clothes and take pictures at the racecourse. The owner is studying photography, she likes beautiful women the most, and her photography skills are very good, and she will help to fix the pictures, but she has to play cards at three o’clock in the afternoon.”
“?!” Li Can suddenly got up, “Let’s go, let’s go now.”
As she said that, she hooked Jian Yanzhi with her left hand and hugged Zhong Mi with her right hand, rushing out in a hurry, not forgetting to turn back and urge, “You guys hurry up! If you’re late, you won’t have beautiful photos!”
Chen Feifei and Yun Zhu followed closely behind.
Lu You had to move unhurriedly to Yue Yunxi’s side, “That’s not right, didn’t Lao Lu book the place, doesn’t the boss work overtime?”
“Working overtime doesn’t affect touching the fish, right.” Yue Yunxi pulled her hand, but quickly let go, “It’s never wrong to go early.”
Lu You’s fingertips scratched in the air in a small range, and suddenly curled up, swallowing an “um” from her throat.
Each table successively left the table, leaving only Tao Xin and Yue Shao on the main table.
Retracting her gaze from the direction of the gate, Tao Xin lowered her head and unconsciously peeled off the diamonds on her extended nails.
She looked at her fingertips and had the illusion that she had always had since she was a child, feeling that they were becoming more and more transparent in her sight.
Whether she was excellent, willful, obedient, unreasonable, pretending to be well-behaved, or exposing her nature.
No one ever cared about her, tolerated her, or really liked her.
“Peach.”
Tao Xin was stunned, and raised her face following the sound.
Yue Shao looked at her, as if thinking about something else through her face. After a few seconds, her eyes focused, revealing a few points of concern.
And a few points…… of empathetic pity.
Tao Xin frowned.
“Do you want to go have fun with them?” Yue Shao asked her with concern, and the tone in her voice was also caring and sympathetic.
Tao Xin sneered, “Do I want to… is it my business?”
She pulled down the corners of her mouth and got up to leave.
Yue Shao’s eyes followed her back worriedly, and then she sensitively noticed that there were a third pair of eyes watching them here.
Turning her head to look over.
The little boy at the next table hurriedly turned back, grabbing his phone with both hands, his head almost buried in the screen.
Like an ostrich who is afraid of being discovered.
Because of a head of natural curls, Yue Shao remembered him.
He was the fan who asked Tao Xin for an autograph before.
–
The afternoon was spent in the resort’s natural scenery and activities.
The owner of the racecourse was a beautiful woman with a Hong Kong-style temperament, like a wild rose, bright and publicizing and very enthusiastic, taking a lot of photos of Lu You and the others on horseback.
At three o’clock in the afternoon, she also played a few rounds of mahjong with several grandmothers.
The camera captured many moments of grandma winning cards.
Before the farewell banquet, Lu You left the owner’s email address for future photo collection.
The dinner was about the same size as the lunch. After eating seven or eight points full, Chen Feifei and the others decided to leave. Lu You sent Chen Feifei and the others to the door of the hotel and watched the car drive out of the parking space before returning.
Before she had time to take a sip of water after sitting down, Lu Huai’an called her up again to propose a toast to the old relatives who didn’t plan to stay here tonight.
In between toasting, the time was dragged out for a long time.
Lu You was smiling politely but awkwardly throughout the process, and the smile was like it was fixed on the corners of her lips with glue.
In the stiff arc, a state of fatigue gradually appeared.
She really didn’t like this kind of social interaction.
But Lu Huai’an knew that she wouldn’t show her temper at Grandma’s birthday banquet, so he wouldn’t care whether she was happy or not.
She began to worry about whether she could successfully slip away tomorrow.
All the way until she sat back at the main table, Lu You couldn’t find a good reason for Lu Huai’an to say no, so she pressed her temples with her index and middle fingers.
“Headache?” Yue Yunxi handed over the green grass ointment, “Put some on your temples.”
Lu You shook her head, tilted her head and approached, and said in a low voice, “I’m worried about what kind of excuse to use to slip away tomorrow, and I can’t touch my nose when I say it.”
Yue Yunxi curled her lips and smiled, “What are you worried about, don’t you still have me.”
Lu You’s eyes were shaken by the beauty.
Yue Yunxi turned her face, smiled and asked Lu Huai’an, “Uncle Lu, I have something to discuss with you, can you lend Lu You to me for a day tomorrow. There is a national-level pianist coming to perform at the theater, and they attach great importance to it. They invited two tuners but are still not at ease, so I recommended Lu You.”
Lu Huai’an readily responded, “Okay, it’s just a sentence.” and then told Lu You to tune the piano well for the master, and come back earlier after finishing, so as not to miss the dinner.
“Got it.” Lu You held up her cup and drank the beverage, admiring Yue Yunxi from the bottom of her heart.
Not only could she calmly give Lu Huai’an enough face, and say the words so gently and beautifully, but she could also open her mouth without changing her face.
After Lu Huai’an was pulled away to drink, Lu You gave Yue Yunxi a thumbs up, “If I didn’t know what I was actually going to do tomorrow, I would have been excited by what you said.”
To tune the piano for a national-level pianist, is that something a small tuner like her in Nanquan City can imagine?
“You can get excited.” Yue Yunxi said with a smile.
After a moment of bewilderment, Lu You said, “What do you mean? You…you’re not fooling Lao Lu, are you?”
“Of course not.” Yue Yunxi said with a smile, “It’s just, not tomorrow.”
Lu You’s heart roared, “Which teacher is it?”
Yue Yunxi hooked her index finger at her.
Lu You put her ear close, and realized that Yue Yunxi tilted her head, bringing the distance closer.
In the warm breath that enveloped her ears, she heard a name.
A pivotal figure in the piano industry.
Obviously it was someone who made her feel shocked, uneasy and excited, but the heat that brushed past her ear didn’t bring her as much ripple.
“I’ll notify you in advance, the focus is on checking to ensure that there are no errors, there may be no tuning fee.”
“Opportunity is more important than the tuning fee.”
She hit the point, and Yue Yunxi’s eyes revealed the joy and appreciation of the same frequency of thought, and said with a smile, “Well, you can let that teacher give you some pointers.”
Sure enough, that’s how it is. Lu You’s eyes rippled, “I don’t know how to thank you.”
She sincerely wanted to thank her.
Yue Yunxi wasn’t polite with her, and said with a smile: “Think about it slowly, don’t worry, it’s not too late to thank you after tuning the piano for that teacher.”
Lu You nodded.
Grandma, who had been listening to their whispers, saw that they were no longer whispering, and said, “You two little rascals, so what are you planning to do tomorrow?”
Hearing this, Lu You bent the corners of her mouth, caught the overflowing joy in her heart, and said frankly: “Go ice skating~”
“Go ice skating~” The old lady imitated her tone childishly, humming, “Feifei and the others said they wanted to leave, and I knew you couldn’t stay.”
Lu You smiled obediently.
“Take Tao Tao with you.” Yue Shao interjected, “She’s pretty bored here alone too.”
Lu You didn’t say anything.
Would Tao Xin, who is chased by fans, be bored? She can obviously have countless fans like “Chu Xiao” to chat with.
But Yue Shao’s tone was gentle and compassionate, which would make people sympathize with an isolated soul involuntarily.
Lu You glanced at Yue Yunxi beside her, thinking that she really deserves to be a mother and daughter, the same gentle and considerate.
She didn’t want to agree, but she couldn’t find a reason to refuse, so she could only dryly ask: “Don’t you have any plans?”
Her roundabout refusal changed the meaning when it fell into the ear.
As if confirming with Tao Xin whether she was free to go out.
Yue Yunxi frowned slightly, briefly, almost without a trace.
“Uncle Lu said that the birthday banquet will be held for three days, so I specially took the time out, but I didn’t expect it to be so boring.” Tao Xin lowered her head, her expression unclear, and said in a low voice, “We seem to have…haven’t gone out to play together for a long time.”
Grandma looked to the left and then to the right, and decided: “Then let’s go play together, there’s nothing interesting here, it’s either little kids or old men and old women, and you don’t have to listen to your dad to come back for dinner, it’s not delicious either. Just don’t come back too late.”
It was even more impossible to refuse when things got to this point.
The cup was empty, Lu You nodded slightly, took a can of fruit drink from the turntable, a hawthorn fruit drink she had never drunk before, unbuckled the pull ring, and inserted a straw.
“Jiaojiao.” Yue Shao called Yue Yunxi’s nickname, like an instruction and a command, “Take both of your younger sisters with you.”
Perhaps in order to let Yue Yunxi bring Tao Xin, the word “younger sister” was bitten very hard.
She happened to be included in this younger sister, like a reminder.
Lu You couldn’t help but follow the two heavy tones and grind her teeth on the straw, glancing sideways, she wanted to see Yue Yunxi’s reaction.
Under the clear light, there was no outward emotion on that face like snow.
Like her thoughts are wandering, thoughtful, or like she is unmoved and unpredictable.
Her ears captured Yue Yunxi’s very light “um”, and in the corner of her eyes, Tao Xin was raising the corners of her mouth.
Lu You moved her eyes away and took a big gulp of juice.
Among the complex emotions, the accentuated taste emerged again with the full mouthful of hawthorn flavor.
Facts have proved that it is not suitable to drink too sour drinks at night.
Lu You was lying on the bed, staring at the ceiling in the dark, unable to tell whether it was because of a stomach ache or because she couldn’t sleep because she was annoyed that the two-person trip had turned into a three-person trip.
The sound insulation of the B&B was not good, and the sound of opening and closing doors came from time to time.
Annoyed, she sprang up from the bed, put on her slippers, poured a pot of water and plugged it in.
While waiting for the water to boil, she went to the floor-to-ceiling window as if possessed, lifted the curtains and looked at the small courtyard outside the window, stopping suddenly.
The ground lamp was glowing with a warm yellow light, very similar to the row of small lamps in front of Yue Yunxi’s study.
Someone was sitting on the wooden swing at the end, and the weak light outlined the other person’s approximate outline.
A very beautiful silhouette.
Lu You muttered, why does she like feeding mosquitoes in the middle of the night so much?
In the time that was lengthened by the sound of boiling water, the swing swayed little by little, and the light of the ground lamp dimmed inch by inch.
Just as she was about to go out, she caught a glimpse of someone walking towards the swing on the small road, and Lu You turned her toes back to their original position.
In her sight, Yue Yunxi got up from the swing before Tao Xin approached, turned around, and walked back along the gravel road in the opposite direction, directly giving the swing to the other person.
The curtain was too long in her hand, and it seemed heavy.
Tao Xin’s figure stopped in front of the swing, grabbed two ropes, but didn’t sit on it.
After a long time, the restrained sound of opening and closing doors came from next door, and Lu You slowly let go of her hand, walked to the table, and poured a glass of water.
In this season, the frost is heavy and the weather is cold after nightfall. The water temperature has been dropping while the kettle has been placed unattended.
Fortunately, it wasn’t placed for too long, and it was still warm.
The hot water warmed her stomach, and Lu You lay back on the bed, her thoughts even more chaotic, and she didn’t feel sleepy until four or five o’clock.
She didn’t sleep soundly this time, and woke up after only a few hours.
Feeling for her phone to check the time, she was surprised to find that Yue Yunxi had sent her a WeChat message last night: 【I said last time that if I have the chance to show you my childhood sweetheart, ask her if she’s free tomorrow? Call her and come with us?】
Lu You’s eyes lit up, and her sleepiness disappeared, she quickly turned to Bo Mingyan’s phone number and dialed it.
Bo Mingyan didn’t immediately agree.
Lu You directly told her about the situation here, and suddenly remembered that Bo Mingyan also had a boss who shared a room with her, and invited her along, and Bo Mingyan finally agreed.
After hanging up the phone, Lu You stared at the screen for a while, and suspected that the reason why Bo Mingyan hesitated at first was because she didn’t call her boss.
Get up, wash, change clothes, eat two pieces of bread.
At a little after nine o’clock, the alarm to go out rang, and Lu You reached out and turned it off, unhurriedly put on her watch, took the bucket bag from the hanger and hung it on her shoulder, straightened her makeup in front of the mirror, and opened the door to go out.
Opposite, Tao Xin stared at a short wig, standing at the door adjusting her sunglasses on the bridge of her nose, and glanced over when she heard the movement.
The next second, the door next door was also pulled open with a “click”.
Tao Xin turned her face and asked, “Who are we riding in?”
“I’ll drive.” Lu You closed the door with her backhand, cleared her throat and said, “Manman has nothing to do at home, so I called her and her roommate, and we’ll meet at the gate of the gymnasium.”
The person who gave her the idea just walked to her in front of her from the door.
Yue Yunxi’s well-defined hands brushed the long, flowing hair behind her ears, revealing the eyes on that side, and her head tilted slightly, her eyes collided.
In their eye contact, they shared a secret.
