After graduating for ten years, Luo Bo drifted through countless companies, yet remained a failure.
An unexpected event sent him back to that crossroad of graduation choices...
Luo Bo: ...
After returning home that night, Su Ying was still too excited to sleep. Perhaps she had slept enough at noon, so she dragged Luo Bo into the room and chatted for a long time until sleepiness hit. Luo Bo then covered himself with the quilt and turned down the air conditioner before going back to sleep.
Early in the morning, he took Su Ying home and changed her skirt into sportswear. He chose a color that was the opposite of Luo Bo's, so the two of them looked like a couple.
We took the high-speed rail again and arrived in Hangzhou in less than an hour. After getting off at the East Station, we took the subway together and walked towards West Lake.
The subway was packed with people, so they held hands carefully and stood at the junction of the cars. Luckily, they weren't wearing skirts, or they would have been torn apart by the crowds.
Luo Bo thoughtfully held onto the pillars to create a space for her, and Su Ying rested comfortably in his embrace. Having changed into flat shoes today, Su Ying, who was slightly shorter, fit perfectly in his embrace. Her hair tickled her nose. After smoothing her alopecia, he watched her videos on her phone to while away the boring journey.
Most people's destination was West Lake, so the two of them stood all the way there. It was already near noon when they arrived at West Lake, so they found a nearby Fuyuanju restaurant and planned to have a quick lunch. However, they found that the food was quite good, so they both had a good appetite and ordered quite a bit.
After finishing their meal, the two of them walked along the tree-lined path. Su Ying said quietly, "Luo Bo, we've been eating so well these past few days that we feel like we've gained a few pounds."
Hearing this, Luo Bo also felt a sense of danger. The biggest taboo for girls is being fat, so it seems that he needs to change the subject.
"We've just finished eating, why don't we go for a walk to help digest the food?" Luo Bo scratched his head and smiled.
Su Ying gave Luo Bo a resentful look and prepared to go out to avoid the scorching midday sun. Suddenly, her cell phone rang, and Su Ying's face instantly turned panicked. Luo Bo stepped forward to support her and asked, "What's going on? Who's calling?"
"My parents, what should I do?" Su Ying was a little panicked. They didn't know that she had a boyfriend yet. Although they would sometimes call her when she was abroad, why did they call her at this time?
I patted her on the back to help her calm down a little, and finally she answered the phone.
"Susu, did you go out to play today? Why are you answering the phone so late?" Luo Bo also heard the female voice through the microphone.
"Yeah, I'm playing outside. Mom, are you taking a day off today?" Su Ying also replied.
"Yes, unfortunately the epidemic is also serious here. Even after we got vaccinated, no one dares to go out. Everyone is in the company. Doing team building or something. Where are you going to play today?"
Su Ying looked at Luo Bo and said, "Hangzhou."
"Ah? Are you alone?" Su's mother asked in surprise. She knew her daughter too well.
Su Ying looked up, and Luo Bo also looked at what she said.
"No, I... came here with my boyfriend." After making up her mind to say it, Su Ying no longer looked flustered.
There was no sound on the other end of the phone, and it disconnected after a while. Then a video call came in from WeChat, and Su Ying was a little at a loss as to what to do.
Luo Bo stepped forward and took the phone from her hand and answered the call: "Hello, Auntie."
"You look very energetic, young man." Su's mother spoke first, "What's your name?" "Auntie, my name is Luo Bo." Luo Bo answered with a smile.
"Luo Bo..." Su's mother muttered the name, "It's easy to remember. How long have you been together?"
"Not long ago, we've been together for a short time." Luo Bo looked at Su Ying and responded after receiving an affirmative look.
"Hey, don't bully my Susu when you two are together." Su's mother warned, "Susu has had a little autism since she was a child. If she does something wrong, please be more tolerant."
"Don't worry, Auntie, I will take good care of Susu." Luo Bo promised solemnly.
Mother Su looked at Luo Bo and nodded with satisfaction. "Okay, then go have fun. Be careful. Give the phone to Su Su first."
After handing over the phone, Su Ying breathed a sigh of relief. An inaudible voice came from the other end. Su Ying glanced at Luo Bo and waved his hand in a gesture. Luo Bo also tactfully moved away, leaving the two of them room to talk quietly. After more than ten minutes, the video call finally ended, and Su Ying, blushing, walked over.
"My mother has passed this test."
"What about your dad?" Luo Bo asked with a smile.
"My dad is easier to talk to." Su Ying said with a relaxed look, "As long as my mom agrees, my dad will definitely have no objection."
"But... my mother told us not to cross the line..." After saying this, Su Ying turned her head away embarrassedly, her face as red as a peach.
Luo Bo came forward and hugged her tightly and said, "No, I will wait for the day when you decide."
Su Ying also responded by hugging him tightly: "Well,... wait until I graduate, okay?"
…
Su Ying's parents didn't object, and Luo Bo also felt that the two of them no longer had the timid feeling they used to have when getting along. Su Ying generously took his arm and walked towards West Lake. They had bought sports drinks in advance and put them in their backpacks. The two of them also prepared to walk around West Lake.
It is very tiring to walk more than ten kilometers around the West Lake. There are Leifeng Pagoda, Su Causeway, Yang Causeway... The two of them couldn't bear it after walking all the way. Su Ying could no longer walk with the support of her legs, and Luo Bo had difficulty breathing even though he exercised regularly.
"Luo Bo, I can't walk anymore~" Su Ying was so tired that she spoke weakly.
"Let's find a bench and rest."
"No, I can't walk a step. Luo Bo, carry me." At this moment, Su Ying no longer had the fairy-like aura she had when she was with Skadi, but had become more worldly. Luo Bo couldn't help but feel a desire to protect Su Ying, because she was his girlfriend.
