Chapter 55

On the other side, Xia Ruirui just woke up and received a text message from Shen Yuqing, asking her if she was awake.

She had just woken up and was a little dazed at first, but when she saw the text message, she couldn't help but look at it a few more times.

After making sure she was not mistaken, Xia Ruirui blinked and discovered for the first time that Shen Yuqing had some talent for licking a dog.

He actually added a heart at the end of the text message.

You have to know that someone was always aloof in the early years. Sometimes when she shared with him songs that she thought were good, he rarely responded.

Xia Ruirui forgot which summer vacation it was, she had a blast for two months, and when the vacation was about to start, she sent him a WeChat message, wanting to ask him for some summer homework for reference.

He didn't reply until two hours later, and it was still just three short words.

"Write it yourself."

I really didn't expect that 26-year-old Shen Yuqing would add a love heart at the end of a text message.

What exactly made the aloof male god fall from the altar overnight and turn into a loving bootlicker?

Xia Ruirui blinked and thought for a few seconds before she realized that she seemed to have confessed to him yesterday.

——"Should we give it a try?"

——"Try what?"

——"Love each other."

Xia Ruirui: “…”

Thinking of what Shen Yuqing said to her yesterday, 'I love you', she couldn't help but feel moved for a second.

She didn’t reply to Shen Yuqing’s text message, but called him directly.

The call was connected quickly. She didn't say anything, and the person on the other end of the phone also kept silent.

The two of them remained silent as if they had agreed to do so. Listening to the breathing of someone on the other end of the phone, Xia Ruirui blushed shamefully.

She cleared her throat first, and called out his name somewhat unnaturally: "Chen Yuqing."

She deliberately dragged out the last syllable, and her voice had a subtle teasing quality. It was just a name, but it sounded inexplicably ambiguous.

Shen Yuqing on the opposite side couldn't help but chuckled and called her name very gently, which made her feel a little embarrassed.

As if unwilling to be at a disadvantage, she took the initiative again: "Chen Yuqing, do you miss me?"

The other party didn't hesitate at all and answered directly: "Yes."

Xia Ruirui's smile was filled with a hint of smugness: "How much do you miss me?"

Originally, he wanted to tease the other party, but Shen Yuqing changed the subject.

"Xia Ruirui, today is Saturday, what are you going to do?"

Seeing him change the subject, she felt a little bored and curled her lips: "Just lie at home and don't go anywhere."

Who would have thought that the next second, he said with a smile: "Then look out the window."

Upon hearing this, Xia Ruirui was stunned for a long time. It took her several seconds to react. Thinking of a possibility, she trotted to the floor-to-ceiling window, opened the curtains, and looked out the window.

She saw Shen Yuqing standing on the steps beside the flower bed, looking in her direction.

He was wearing a baseball cap, and only the lower half of his face was visible, but she easily recognized him just by his nose and mouth.

Xia Ruirui stayed where she was, still admiring his beauty. After she came to her senses, she turned around and rushed out.

She only had time to brush her teeth and didn't even wash her face. She was only wearing thin pajamas. She didn't care that the weather outside was very cold and just rushed out.

She didn't even have the patience to wait for the elevator and rushed down the stairs

When she reached the sensor door on the first floor, she saw someone outside the glass door looking at her while holding a phone.

His voice came from the other end of the receiver: "Do you miss me?"

The scene was too romantic. Xia Ruirui suppressed her inner excitement and threw herself into his arms.

His body temperature was very cold, probably because he had been standing outside for a long time.

Looking at his car parked nearby, I realized that he must have driven all night to get here.

Just to see her.

At this moment, she suddenly felt tearful and felt some regret.

She felt that she was such a bastard, delaying Shen Yuqing and herself for too long.

If I had told him about my depression on the day of the farewell party and explained to him my fear of intimacy.

Could she and Shen Yuqing have avoided the detours they had to take over the years?

But sad feelings come and go quickly.

She watched Shen Yuqing open his clothes. She thought he was going to wrap her in his coat, but he took out an... omelet from his arms.

Looking at the steamy omelet, Xia Ruirui laughed out loud.

Looking at the tip of Shen Yuqing's nose, which was slightly red from the wind, she couldn't help but gently touched it with her fingertips.

"Will you blame me for not being with you earlier?" She asked casually, but she was very bothered in her heart.

Shen Yuqing just hugged her, as if to comfort her, his voice was extremely gentle: "It's okay, it's never too late."

Xia Ruirui hugged him, buried her head deeper into his chest, and restrainedly rubbed his collar lightly.

After a long time, she suddenly raised her face to look at him, and he also lowered his eyes to look at her, with tenderness in his eyes like spring water.

Looking at him, Xia Ruirui suddenly became malicious and couldn't help wanting to bully him.

She thrust her icy hand into his neck, and seeing him shiver from the cold, she smiled even more wantonly, "You don't blame me for this?"

"I don't blame you." The smile in Shen Yuqing's eyes seemed to turn into water in the next second.

The two of them hugged each other for a long time.

After a while, Shen Yuqing glanced at his phone, gently pulled her away, and said reluctantly: "I'm leaving."

Xia Ruirui was stunned when she heard this. She stopped him and asked, "Where are you going?"

"Let's go back to Xijing. I have a live broadcast tonight. I just came to Beiyi to see you."

"..." Xia Ruirui didn't know what was wrong with her. It was as if her childish nature suddenly came out. She hugged him and kept acting like a spoiled child, not letting him leave.

Shen Yuqing was not angry at all, he just looked at her gently and wiped the eye mucus for her naturally.

He didn't think anything of it, and even after wiping the boogers from her eyes, he still looked at her tenderly.

Xia Ruirui: “…”

Her body subconsciously stiffened, and she felt extremely speechless.

It was even more embarrassing than when Shen Yuqing learned that she was going to have hemorrhoid surgery.

Because of embarrassment, her voice became a little overbearing: "Come upstairs with me first...I'll wash my face first."

"good."

Chen Yuqing hadn't originally thought that Xia Ruirui would be embarrassed because he wiped her eye boogers for her. Seeing her awkwardness, he couldn't help but feel a little funny.

She led him in without a word, and only regained her confidence after washing her face.

She grabbed his sleeve, looked up at him, and asked in a somewhat overbearing voice, "What did you just say? What are you going back to Xijing for?"

She was so busy feeling embarrassed that she didn't hear a single word he had just explained.

Shen Yuqing also guessed the reason and found it funny in his heart, but his expression became much more restrained and he repeated patiently: "I have to go back to live broadcast."

Xia Ruirui blinked: "You drove here from Xijing, did you take a break?"

Shen Yuqing said honestly: "No."

He could have taken a two-hour nap, but he was so engrossed in looking at the photo of him and Xia Ruirui that he didn't fall asleep.

Xia Ruirui felt even more guilty after hearing this: "You can sleep in my room now and drive back in the afternoon."

As she said that, she pulled him to her room and was about to go in, but he always made excuses.

He first said he was not sleepy, and then said he was a bit attached to his bed.

Xia Ruirui blinked, turned around and looked at him suddenly, but he didn't even look at her, his eyes were fixed on the sofa in the living room.

Seeing someone's red ears, Xia Ruirui realized something and looked at him with a teasing look: "What are you thinking about?"

“…” Shen Yuqing said nothing, but his ears became even redder.

After a long while, he finally managed to squeeze out a sentence dryly: "I can just sleep on the sofa."

"..." Xia Ruirui licked her lips, "Why don't you sleep in bed?"

"Sleeping in your bed... doesn't make sense."

"..." Xia Ruirui was speechless, complaining in her heart, 'You had to chase me to the hospital during my hemorrhoid surgery. Why didn't you think about the unreasonableness at that time?'

"Now you're being sentimental..."

But looking at someone's pleasing face, she still couldn't say these words.

She went back to the room and handed him the quilt. He originally wanted her to change the quilt, but only after she glared at him did he take the quilt.

Then he walked obediently to the sofa and lay down.

Xia Ruirui happened to have some work to do, so she didn't watch him sleep and went into the bedroom with the tablet.

Outside the living room, Shen Yuqing was covered with Xia Ruirui's quilt and couldn't sleep at all.

The quilt was full of Xia Ruirui's smell, there was no chance he could fall asleep.

But after tossing and turning for a long time, he actually fell asleep.

Maybe it was because of the smell of Xia Ruirui on the quilt, or maybe it was because of the photo he saw not long ago, Shen Yuqing had a dream.

I dreamed of Xia Ruirui from my senior year of high school...
