Chapter 35 Extra 2

Before Lu Yu and Meng Xi started university, they finally went on a trip abroad together.

Lu Yu demonstrated exceptional business acumen within the Lu family, earning Lu Gaohan's approval. As a qualified successor, Lu Gaohan no longer interfered, choosing to turn a blind eye.

He and Meng Xi are still in the same university.

Meng Xi studied foreign languages, while Lu Yu studied finance.

They took half a month off to travel around and have fun.

Watch the sunrise under snow-capped mountains, snorkel in crystal-clear waters, and admire the beautiful and majestic landscapes of China.

Although the time was a bit rushed, we had a great time.

No disturbances, no pressure, no hesitation.

Only each other.

Meng Xi spent the best few days of her life after her parents passed away.

Every day, holding hands with Lu Yu when we go out, I feel incredibly safe and at peace.

The moment we watched the sunrise together, golden light rose from the mountain peaks, bathing the world in a brilliant golden hue.

The transition from darkness to light takes only a very short time.

She felt inexplicably moved.

Meng Xi saw the newborn sun and welcomed a brand new version of herself.

The last stop on the trip was in the most famous feng shui treasure land in southern China.

Here, flowers bloom in abundance, spring-like weather prevails all year round, and animals and people live in harmony.

The clear lake shone like a bright jewel under the moonlight.

They stayed at the most famous and best guesthouse, where they could see the lake just by opening the curtains.

For the last three days, they ended their trip and chose to rest here, enjoying a leisurely time together.

On the morning of the first day, Meng Xi was the first to wake up from her dream, her hand a little sore from being pinched.

Over the past few days, Lu Yu has become increasingly clingy, not only needing to be held while sleeping every night, but also having to hold hands with his fingers.

Holding hands wasn't a big deal, but her hands were small and delicate, while Lu Yu's hands were large. Their rings rubbed together on their fingers, causing some damage.

She carefully released her hand from Lu Yu's grasp, pulling it out little by little, trying to massage it to relieve the discomfort.

Just as he pulled halfway out, a long leg pressed down on him. Meng Xi was encircled in Lu Yu's arms, and his slightly hoarse voice, still warm from just waking up, came from beside her ear: "Meng Xi, why are you running away?"

Meng Xi was a little helpless and explained in a low voice, "It's not that I'm running away, it's that it hurts a lot when it's squeezed."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yu immediately perked up, nuzzled his chin against Meng Xi's neck, and chuckled knowingly, "Does it hurt?"

"I'm not afraid of the pain from you squeezing me."

His voice carried a hint of seduction, "When?"

Meng Xi's face flushed red: "Let's talk about marriage first!"

Actually, Meng Xi didn't really plan to get married before...

She wasn't particularly feudal, but she always felt that this matter was too early.

Although she knew Lu Yu's capabilities when she was at the Lu family home, things were different now. They basically slept in separate rooms. Now they always slept in the same bed, so it was inevitable that there would be times when her self-control was weak in the quiet of the night.

Every time they "stopped at the right point," Lu Yu would kiss her lips until they were swollen, like a child, before he would stop fiercely.

Lu Yu smiled and stopped teasing her. He got off the bed, casually took a shirt from the side and put it on, then mischievously made Meng Xi button it up one by one in front of him.

When only one button remained undone, Meng Xi's phone rang.

She opened it and saw it was Song Siyu.

[When are you guys coming back? I'm waiting to snatch you away from Lu Yu! Last time we had hot pot, he deliberately gave me the spiciest one, and my lips were all swollen from the spiciness. I'm not going to let this go!]

Meng Xi smiled and tapped on her phone to reply, "I'll be back in two days."

You two are both pretty vengeful.

Last time, she casually remarked to Lu Yu that Si Yu said you were clingy, and as a result, Lu Yu made an excuse to invite Si Yu to dinner and kept urging her to eat spicy food.

At first, Siyu felt embarrassed to refuse her hospitality, but later she realized something was wrong and got a sore throat for several days.

Lu Yu bent down and looked at the phone screen, tapped the inflamed area, and said lazily, "I knew about your scheme beforehand, so you won't succeed."

He took Meng Xi's hand: "Let's go out for dinner."

The guesthouse owner knew that a very good-looking young couple was staying in the house, and they were very much in love and almost inseparable.

The night we checked in, we stayed together all night.

As soon as they stepped out the door, Meng Xi smiled and greeted the shop owner, "Good morning, boss. What would you like for breakfast today?"

The owner was a woman in her thirties with a carefree air about her life. She raised her eyebrows and smiled, saying, "Today, I'm serving freshly squeezed lime juice, grilled milk, shrimp salad, and black pepper pasta."

Just as breakfast was served, a little snowball, like a puppy, rubbed against Meng Xi's feet, barking happily.

The proprietress smiled and said, "This is the puppies of my big dog. I've given away all the others, but I don't want to give this one away. It's just that it has so much energy that I have to walk it every day."

She glanced at Meng Xi, who was already holding the puppy in her arms, petting it repeatedly, clearly smitten.

Lu Yu was right across from her, his eyes filled with undisguised love.

The scene was particularly pleasing to the eye for the proprietress, who found the two young men especially appealing.

She asked, "Would you like me to walk the dog after breakfast?"

Meng Xi immediately replied, "Okay, is that alright?"

The proprietress pulled out a high-quality hand-drawn map: "Look, you two are new here. All the unique and worthwhile places to see are here. You two walk my dog, and I'll cook you dinner tonight, how about it?"

Meng Xi smiled sweetly: "No problem~"

After breakfast, Meng Xi and Lu Yu went for a walk with Xue Tuanzi.

The scenery here is peaceful and serene, truly a place of outstanding natural beauty and natural wonder.

They walked onto the wooden planks by the lake, where the vast lake shimmered and seagulls soared in the sunlight.

Lu Yu gazed at the distant scenery for a long time, then suddenly turned to Meng Xi and said, "Meng Xi."

"Um?"

Meng Xi also looked up at Lu Yu.

"Have you ever regretted being with me?"

Meng Xi thought for a moment and said, "Hmm...of course there is."

Lu Yu's expression darkened.

Meng Xi smiled and said earnestly, "I regret not getting closer to you sooner."

Under the sunlight, Lu Yu held Meng Xi tightly in his arms.

"Meng Xi, I love you."

"I also regret not getting closer to you sooner, regret being harsh to you, and regret being cold to you."

He said, word by word, "But I swear, I will cherish you, take care of you, and make it up to you with my life."

"We want to get married and stay together for life."

"OK?"

Meng Xi held his hand, their fingers intertwined in front of him, and said with a smile, "Didn't I already promise you?"

As long as two people are together, the road ahead will be bright and promising, and the boundless darkness behind them will recede.

From now on, only a bright tomorrow remains.
