"Well... everyone should go take a shower and go to bed." After saying that, he went back to his room.

The others finally came to their senses and dispersed.

“…”

The smile on Su Miaomiao's face only lasted until she returned to the room and closed the door, then the smile disappeared completely.

She looked at the box in her hand and felt her heart trembling violently.

In fact, she knew very well why her family had to empty all their savings to thank Lu Xiuyuan and promised him that they would repay him in the future.

It was because they hoped that she would always be on an equal footing with Lu Xiuyuan in the future.

If their family accepted Lu Xiuyuan's kindness, it would be equivalent to owing him, and she would have no confidence in front of him in the future.

That's why they appeared together, just to show Lu Xiuyuan that they would repay what they owed him.

Su Miaomiao looked at the box in her arms and felt her heart bloated and a little uncomfortable, but more of joy.

The world itself is full of suffering, but it is only because there are a group of lovely people around us that the world seems less hideous and terrifying.

That night, Su Miaomiao put the box next to her pillow. She slept extremely soundly and dreamlessly until dawn.

The next morning.

When Su Miaomiao woke up, it was already bright outside the window. She threw off the quilt, changed her clothes and went out.

Lu Xiuyuan was already dressed and was standing at her door with a hesitant look on his face, as if he was struggling over whether to knock or not.

When he saw Su Miaomiao coming out of the house, a happy smile suddenly appeared on his face.

"Why did you get up so early?" Su Miaomiao spoke first.

"I'm going back to the team tomorrow, and I want to say goodbye to you before I leave." When Lu Xiuyuan said this, there was a hint of reluctance in his eyes.

"So fast?" Su Miaomiao frowned.

"I'm taking a leave of absence this time." Lu Xiuyuan nodded.

Su Miaomiao didn't know what to say for a moment.

Looking at Su Miaomiao like this, Lu Xiuyuan felt full of guilt.

"I'm sorry." Lu Xiuyuan lowered his voice a little.

"Why are you apologizing to me? This is your job. Besides, I had already considered all this when I agreed to be with you. Are you leaving soon?" Su Miaomiao gave Lu Xiuyuan a gentle smile.

"Yeah." Lu Xiuyuan responded.

"Have breakfast. No matter how urgent it is, you won't miss a meal. I'll make it for you." Su Miaomiao said as she walked towards the kitchen.

Lu Xiuyuan held her hand.

"No, I've already eaten. My aunt prepared it for me."

A hint of darkness flashed across Su Miaomiao's eyes.

"Why didn't you kiss me earlier?"

If Lu Xiuyuan said that he would leave the next morning, she would definitely not get up so late that day.

"Miao Miao, it's okay. I'll come to see you when I'm on vacation. Besides, you're a free man now, so you can come to Beijing to see me when you have time." Lu Xiuyuan grabbed Su Miaomiao's hand.

Su Miaomiao stared at Lu Xiuyuan for a long time before slowly nodding.

"By the way, when I go back this time, I want to ask my parents to come and propose marriage. What do you think?" Lu Xiuyuan asked this question a little cautiously.
